Atalented actor，producer，and singer，Will Smith is 【小题1】success.In fact，his huge success can date back to some valuable lessons 【小题2】（teach）by his experience when he was young.

Once Will's father gave him and his brother Harry an outdoor project. The boys had to rebuild a 【小题3】（break）wall in the yard；it was fifty feet long and around sixteen feet high. They had to mix concrete and place one brick at a time，【小题4】（eventual）covering the entire wall.Will and his brother Harry felt surprised 【小题5】 their father's demand，for they couldn't even think of 【小题6】（complete）a project as big as this.

However，with the attitude of "one more brick"，both Will and Harry constructed the entire wall in a period of six months with the 【小题7】（guide）of their father. Both brothers 【小题8】 previously were so puzzled about the job，felt a sense of pride after finishing the job，and so 【小题9】（do）their father.

Even today whenever Will thinks that he won't be able to do something，he looks back on this incident and reminds 【小题10】（him）of "one brick at a time".

Every successful man is shaped right from his childhood.To achieve dreams，one should be disciplined and determined.

   I was one of the young US soldiers in Saudi Arabia. At one time before the Internet，our only lifeline to friends and family was the mail we sent and received.

One evening the mail soldier called my name and，instead of a letter，handed me a large box from my grandmother in Oklahoma. One of the great hardships of the war for me was the absence of my grandmother's cooking—her fried chicken and onion，corn bread，and，most of all，her desserts. But on that evening I was about to take a gastronomic（美食的） journey home: I opened the box and found two dozen pies made by my grandmother.

A man from New York approached and asked me what I had received. I couldn't answer；my mouth was full of pie. So I just offered him one. “So nice！”he said. “What are they？”He had to wait a few moments for an answer，but eventually I explained. As insurance，I offered him another pie to keep him quiet.

Once a day for the next three weeks，I imagined returning home to my grandmother's kitchen，if only I had had a few sweet bites at a time.

Some of my earliest memories are associated with my grandmother's pies. She had been baking pies since before the Great Depression. She would have astonished the judges on today's TV cooking challenges. I remember coming across a persimmon（柿子）tree once while out hiking. It was autumn，and the fruit was soft and sweet. I picked a few dozen and brought them to Grandma. Guess what！The next day I walked into her kitchen to find a persimmon pie waiting for me.

   Successful people are the center of any hot discussion. Actually any successful individual is flesh and blood just like you. 【小题1】 It's the small differences that help them stick out from the rest.

1.Ordinary people dream of a better future，while successful people create a better future.

We all want to live a better life: more happiness，more freedom and better health. 【小题2】 However，the average person will focus on dreaming，while the successful one spares no efforts to create that dreamy future.

2. 【小题3】

Everyone has doubts and negative thoughts once in a while. It's just human nature and the way our brains function. Many people accept these thoughts as truths and let them control their lives. On the contrary，great people are conscious of the impact their thoughts have，and try to influence their thinking to make it work for them.

3.Ordinary people prefer short-term satisfaction，while successful people choose long-term rewards.

Do you know anyone who hates to be rewarded？Neither do we. 【小题4】 In the era in which we are taught to praise comfort over anything else，it's easy to settle for instant pleasure. However，successful people recognize that oftentimes you need to wait to experience the true pleasure.

4.Ordinary people praise overabundance（过多），while successful people praise limitation（限制）.

A kind of person loves to gather wealth. 【小题5】 However，one of the features of truly successful people is that they can limit a lot of things in order to focus on the ones that are actually important.
