Nearly everyone wants to be successful. It can be very hard to succeed, though. Here is some advice to help you:
●Plan for successWanting success is not enough. You have to plan for it. Ask yourself: How am I going to be successful? What do I have to learn to achieve the success I want? And how long will it take me to get it? These questions will help you plan for your success.
●Form good habitsIf you study the lives of successful people, you’ll find that they have excellent work habits. Edison, for example, had a habit of always coming up with new ideas, and this helped him become one of the greatest inventors. Forming such habits can be boring, but useful.
●Never stop learningSuccessful people never stop learning. They never say “I’ve learned enough. There is nothing more I need to know.” You have to understand that the moment you stop learning is the moment you stop progressing. We live in an ever-changing (不断变化的) world, and need to be able to keep up with it.
●Let failure motivate (提升) youIt’s okay to fail, it happens to everyone. Michael Jordan, one of the most successful basketball player ever, used to say that his failure was what drove him to succeed. Learning from your mistake is what will put you on the road to the success you want.

Many people think stress is bad for health. It raises (增加) the risk of everything from the common cold to serious diseases. Usually, we turn stress into the enemy. However, a study has given us a whole new look at it.
In the study, if people with lots of stress don’t believe stress can harm them, they will have the lowest risk of dying, including people with a little stress.
Can changing how you think about stress make you healthier? Science says yes. When you change your mind about stress, you can change your body’s response (反应) to stress. People who consider the stress response as helpful for their life are less stressed, less worried and more confident. How you think and act can change your experience of stress. When you choose to think your stress response is helpful, you create the biology of courage. When you are stressed and choose to communicate with others, you can create resilience (韧性).
You can get away from the bad influences of stress on your health. The most amazing thing is that stress makes you social. Your stress response wants to make sure you notice others in trouble so that you can support each other. When life is hard, your stress response wants you to stay with people who care about you.
Also, stress is not useless. It helps us reach our hearts. Our kindness finds joy and meaning in contacting others. Your heart beats so fast to give you strength and energy. You should think of stress in a new way. If so, you’re not just getting better at stress. You can trust yourself to deal with challenges and believe you don’t have to face them on your own.
How do you make a choice between a stressful life and without stress? Stress lies in many meaningful things. So the best answer is to go after what creates meaning in your life.
Then trust yourself to deal with the stress that follows and make friends with it.

But there are some risks when you leave for the wildness. We spoke with Sgt. John Adams from the Search and Rescue unit（搜救部）to learn what you can do to keep safe.
Tell someone where you’re going
Especially if you’re hiking alone, it is important to make sure someone knows exactly （准确地） where you’re going and when you expect to be back. And the information you left with a friend or family member will make it easier for Search and Rescue to find you.

If you are uncomfortable, uncertain or worried about your safety at any time, be honest with yourself. Don’t be afraid to call it a day and turn back.
