It started as a special day for Wesley Autrey, a 50-year-old construction worker in New York City. It was about 12:45 P.M., and he was waiting on a subway platform (月台) to take his daughters home before he went to work. He suddenly noticed a man nearby have convulsions (抽搐) and fall down suddenly. Mr. Autrey and two women went to help the stranger. The man, Cameron Hollopeter, managed to get to his feet, but then stumbled (绊倒) at the edge of the platform and fell onto the subway tracks. Mr. Autrey looked up and saw the lights of the subway train coming near through the tunnel.
Mr. Autrey jumped onto the track immediately. He realized that he didn’t have time to get Mr. Hollopeter and himself back up on the platform before the train arrived, so he lay on top of the man and pressed down as hard as he could. Although the driver tried to stop the train before it reached them, he couldn’t. Five cars passed over them before the train finally stopped. The cars had passed only inches from his head.
New York loves a hero. Mr. Autrey became an overnight hero and was named the “Subway Superman”. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg gave him the Bronze Medallion, the city’s highest honor. He was asked to appear on several TV talk shows. He was also rewarded with money and gifts, such as $10,000 from Donald Trump, a $5,000 gift card from the Gap clothing store, a new Jeep, and Beyonce concert tickets.
How did Autrey react (反应) to all this? He said, “I don’t feel like I did anything great; I just saw someone who needed help. I did what I felt was right”.

Recently I have started a new job in a small office, which four of us share a water filter(净水器). One of my coworker complained the water tasted "dirty", and she is astonished I could drink the water with any trouble. I even started to doubt my taste buds, but the water really tastes fine. Finally, she figured out the problem was actually my cup, which she simply forgot to clean.
I can't help but to think about the world we live. Too often we quickly blame other people, other things, something else but ourselves. The world isn't perfect, I know, but I think we should take the step back sometimes and ask ourselves some tough questions. Can I be better? Is my heart really pure? …
Please clean your cup. Because when you do, the water will taste much good. I promise you this.

Success is so much more than just money or fame.1.If you want to have a successful life, if you want to create a life that makes you feel passionate to be alive, here are the three things you need to focus on.
Believe In Yourself
If you don’t believe in yourself, how do you expect other people to?
If you don’t believe that you can have the life you desire, if you don’t believe that you can achieve all that you are setting out to achieve, it is going to be very difficult to create a successful life. 2.It also helps you to take a leap of faith when it comes to going after what it is that you truly desire.
3.
If your intention is simply rooted in money and fame, chances are you are never going to truly feel successful. The feeling of success that is given through money and fame is only temporary and is not enough to sustain a long-term feeling of fulfillment and happiness.
4.When your intention is to serve your purpose, make a change in the world and express your gifts and talents, you will feel true success and satisfaction no matter what the outcome.
Realize You Are Already Successful
Success is all around you and flows through you and the more you can welcome that into your life, the more you will start to feel it.
Being grateful for the tiniest successes in life will also help you to create more and more success. 5.The truth is that you are already successful and once you realize this, there is no stopping what you can do.
A. Know Your Intention.
B. Realize your dream.
C. When you believe in yourself, it fuels your creativity, your ambitions and your motivation to do things.
D. Success is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure.
E. For a truly successful life, your intention has to be rooted in your purpose, in your passions and in what feels good to you.
F. This is a powerful mindset shift and one that will help you to align (使结盟）with your ambitions and dreams.
G. Success is about being able to live a happy and fulfilling life that allows you to be true to who you really are.
