This is a story about two frogs(青蛙). One frog was fat and the other thin. One day, while searching for food, they jumped into a bucket of milk by accident. They couldn’t get out as the sides were too smooth, so they were just swimming around.

The fat frog said to the thin frog, “Brother Frog, there’s no use paddling(划) any longer. We’re just going to drown, so we might as well give up.” The thin frog replied, “Hold on, Brother ! Keep paddling. Somebody will get us out .” And they continued paddling for hours.

After a while, the fat frog said, “Brother Frog, there’s no use. I’m becoming very tired now. I’m just going to stop paddling and drown. It’s Sunday and nobody’s working. We’ll surely die. There’s no possible way out of here.” But the thin frog said,“Keep paddling. Something will happen. Keep trying!”

Another couple of hours passed. The fat frog said, “I can’t go on any longer. There’s no sense in doing it because we’re going to drown anyway. What’s the use?” He gave up. And he drowned in the milk. But the thin frog kept on paddling.

What does the word success bring to your mind? many would answer along the lines of lots of money, big house, new cars, five star restaurants --- all on the material level. Nothing wrong --- as long as you feel joy in the process. It is interesting to see how my idea of success has changed through the years. When I was young, I was eager for material success. I chose to be a salesman and earned lots of money. But then I realized selling was not what I wanted to do all my life. After all I was often forced to sell products that did not really fit the customer. Eventually I became very unhappy, even with big money.

Then my search for success turned inwards. I gave up sales and chose another job --- helping people. I earned less, but I was much more satisfied. I love horses, so I started to paint horses. And then I returned to my old love, writing. I felt the most successful when I loved what I did, never mind the money. I believe success lies in joy and happiness that can come from many things: painting, writing. playing with a small child. managing well a difficult job...

So what is success for you? Are you reaching for that big house just to show off? Or have you learned yet to listen to inter self? Try to listen to your own feelings , and you may be surprised at what you find.

Remember --- what is success for you may not be success in someone mind. You are not here to live anyone else life but your own. You do not have to please others with your life. Only if you are happy yourself, can you spread happiness to others. You cannot give what you do not have.. `

So be true to yourself and follow your own joyful path to your own success.

A. made big money B. bought many houses

C. managed a restaurant D. started raising horses

35. The writer felt the most successful when he_______.

A. worked very hard B. returned to selling
