We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead.No one looking behind ahead 20 years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention,the chips would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers,digital communications and factory robots.Tomorrow's achievements in biotechnology,artificial intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes.But one thing is certain:information and knowledge will become even more vital,and the people who possess it,whether they work in manufacturing or services,will have the advantage and produce the wealth.If you cast your mind ahead 10 years,information services will be predominant.It will be the way you do your job.

【参考答案】
成功者不会毕生致力于这样一种构想:即想象自己应该成为何种人。相反,他们即他们自己。因此,他们不会费神去装腔作势,故作姿态,摆布他人。他们明白:爱与装爱,傻与装傻,知与装知,真正博学与假装博学之间是有区别的。成功者无须躲在面具后面。
成功者敢于独立思考,敢于运用自己的知识。他们能够把事实从纷繁的意见中剥离出来,而又不会假装无所不知。他们倾听他人的意见,品评他人的言论,却能得出自己的结论。虽然成功者也钦佩他人,尊敬他人,但是,他们不会完全被他人所规定、所摧垮、所束缚、所吓倒。
成功者不会假装无助,也不会怨天尤人。相反,他们承担起自己生命的责任。
