Sally was a student． It was going to be her mother’s birthday． She wanted to buy her a present that would be nice and useful but not expensive．
A week before her mother’s birthday, she went shopping after a quick and simple lunch． When she had been looking for half an hour, she found a shop that was selling cheap umbrellas, and decided to take a black one, since her mother had lost hers the month before．
She thought, “You could carry that when you are wearing clothes of any color．” So she decided to buy a lovely black umbrella and took it back to the school with her until her classes were over．
On her way back home in the train that evening she felt hungry because she had such a small lunch that she went along to the dining car for another sandwich and a cup of coffee． She had left the black umbrella above her seat in the compartment(车厢), but when she got back, it had gone! When she had left the compartment, there had been no other passengers (乘客) in it, but now there were three．
Sally began to cry when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there． The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the matter was． She told them that the black umbrella she had bought for her mother was gone, and that she had to get out at the next station． After the three other passengers heard it, they asked her for her mother’s address so that they could send the umbrella to her if someone had taken it by mistake, and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train．
The next week, Sally heard from her mother． It said, “Thank you very much for your lovely presents, but why did you send me three black umbrellas?”

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck． I’m not going to say luck, talent, and conditions are not important because they really are． Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great abilities, and that’s just how life is．
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually put it into practice． What’s more, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising． To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, the time that most people won’t put in．
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love． If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like great pain and will probably make you give up well before you ever become good at it．
When you see people showing some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost． It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some unusual talent, but thinking that way does you no good，and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway．
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, with all your heart and over a long period of time． If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards(回报)． Time and hard work won’t make sure that you will get the great success you may want, but it will make sure that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into．
