Some years ago, Wang Baoqiang was a nobody to most Chinese people. However, he is now a household film star in China.
Wang is the youngest child of a poor family in Hebei Province. Dreaming of becoming an actor, he left home at the age of 8 to study kung fu at Shaolin Temple, since kung-fu actors seemed to appear most often on the big screen.
At 14, he moved to Beijing for his acting career for the first time, with little money in his pocket. He worked at a construction site（建筑工地）for 20 to 25 yuan per day, and spent his free time standing in front of the Beijing Film Studio, eager to be chosen as temporary（临时的）actors. This was the hardest time for the boy. His opportunity finally came one day after he went for a role in the movie “Blind Shaft”（盲井）. He was chosen to play a young coal miner. The movie won him three prizes in Thailand, France and Taiwan. But his success didn`t make any difference to his life.
That year, he went home for the Spring Festival. He gave his family his earnings from the movie, around $ 250 and then returned to Beijing with 500 yuan, the same amount he had when he first came to the city. His life was as simple as before.
Thanks to his natural performance in “Blind Shaft”, he was invited by the famous director Feng Xiaogang to act in the film “A World Without Thieves” in 2004, which made him famous immediately. People called him “Shagen”, the name of his character in the movie.
Wang’s work, “Soldiers Sortie” has made him the most popular actor on the Chinese mainland. For the actor, it’s a dream coming true.
“Dreams come true. I think my life is exactly a course of pursuing dreams. No matter how tough one thing is,I can make it as long as I put great effort into it. ”he said.

From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. 1.
The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
2. Your level of self-esteem(自尊) is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial(长期的) victims. They are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. 3.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. 4. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent on our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks(挫折).
In short, in all areas of your life, you are responsible. 5. .
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success
C. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
D. Developing confidence is the key to future success.
E. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
F. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe.
G. You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem.
