Perseverance
Of all the advantageous characteristics to have, I think that perseverance plays the greatest role in one’s success. Other characteristics, such as intelligence, confidence, and honesty, are no doubt important, but they do not necessarily guarantee success. Perseverance offers no guarantees either, but I believe that this trait offers one more opportunity to succeed.
There are several reasons why perseverance often leads to success. First of all, a man who has perseverance does not give up after a failure. He tries again and can, therefore, learn from his mistakes. Second, a persistent person is usually a hard worker, and hard work is an important ingredient in success. Last, with perseverance comes a certain amount of confidence — the confidence that one will eventually succeed.
For all of these reasons, I believe that perseverance is the most important characteristic to have. It is easily combined with other traits such as diligence and confidence to increase the chances of success. However, without perseverance, one’s success may be more dependent on luck than anything else.

恒心
在成功所需具备的所有优秀素质中，我认为恒心是最为重要的。其它如智慧、自信和诚实，无疑也十分重要，但他们都并非成功的必要保证。当然坚持不懈也并不能保证一定成功，但是我相信这个优点能够为我们提供更多机遇从而迈向成功。
还有一些理由能证实为何恒心能指引我们取得成功。首先，一个坚持不懈的人在遭受挫折后从不轻易放弃。他会再次尝试，从而能够在错误中汲取教训。其次，一个坚持不懈的人通常也是一个勤奋的人，而后者是成功的重要元素。最后，恒心能为我们带来一定的自信和勇气——这种自信会帮助我们最终迈向成功。
基于上述理由，我确信恒心是我们需要具备的最为重要的品质。将其它如勤奋、自信等品质结合起来以提高成功的几率很容易。但是，若没有恒心，那么我们的成功则会更多的依赖于运气。

还有几个理由可以证实为什么恒心可以引领人们成功。首先，一个有恒心的人不会在失败后放弃，他会再一次的尝试，因此能够从他的错误中吸取教训。其次，一个有恒心的人通常是一个认真工作的人，这是成功的一个重要的因素。最后，有了恒心，一定的自信也将随之而来，这将使一个人最后取得成功
总结以上的这些理由，我相信恒心是最重要的品质了，与其他因素如聪明和自信相结合的话，这样可以很容易地增加成功的机会。然而，没有一自信，一个人的成功可能会更多的依赖与运气而不是其他的。

毅力

在个人所有的优秀品质中，我认为毅力对一个人的成功起得作用最大。当然其他品质像聪明、自信和正直也很重要，但他们不一定能保证你能成功。毅力也不能绝对保证你能成功，但我认为毅力给你创造了更多成功的机会。
There are several reasons why perseverance often leads to success. First of all, a man who has perseverance does not give up after a failure. He tries again and can, therefore, learn from his mistakes. Second, a persistent person is usually a hard worker, and hard work is an important ingredient in success. Last, with perseverance comes a certain amount of confidence — the confidence that one will eventually succeed.
有毅力，人们更容易成功，原因如下：其一，有毅力的人失败后不会放弃，他会继续努力，因而从错误中吸取教训。其二，有恒心的人通常都是勤奋者，而勤奋是成功的一个重要因素。最后，毅力伴随着一定的自信，而自信会让人们最终走向成功。
For all of these reasons, I believe that perseverance is the most important characteristic to have. It is easily combined with other traits such as diligence and confidence to increase the chances of success. However, without perseverance, one’s success may be more dependent on luck than anything else.
基于以上原因，我认为毅力是个人最重要的特征。毅力容易与其他品质（诸如聪明和自信）相结合，这样能够增加成功的机会。但是，没有毅力，一个人的成功只能靠运气了。

以下的几点原因说明了为什么坚持能取得成功。首先，一个做事坚持的人不会在失败后轻言放弃。他们会不断的尝试，并因此从错误中学习到东西。第二，一个做事坚持的人常常是个努力工作的人，而努力的工作也是成功的重要组成部分。最后，随着坚持不懈人们会得到充分的自信，并最终使其成功。
综上所述，我认为坚持不懈是一个人最重要的品格。它很容易与其他的如勤奋和自信等品格相结合最终增加成功的机会。然而，没有了坚持，一个人的成功就会更多的依赖于运气了。
