未分类题Write a composition of at least 150 words about the topic: A Way to Success. Read the following article in Chinese, then write according to the outline given below. Write your composition on the Answer Sheet. 大学毕业时，小刘决定不找工作，他默默地从事起了网络翻译工作。当时几乎没有人看好他，大家认为，大学刚毕业，最好找一个好单位，学点本领，积累点经验，然后才能有好出路。 5年时间过去了，虽然我们很多人毕业时都信誓旦旦地说，一旦在单位里学到本领，积累够经验，就出去打拼一番属于自己的事业，但大多数人在单位这个避风港里，已经失去了面对大风浪和新环境的勇气。辞职创业逐渐成了空谈。可小刘已经开了公司，成为了一名成功的企业主。 在一次同学会上，小刘说出了他的“秘密”，他说：“成功往往取决于你敢不敢往人少的地方走。这可能有风险，但因为没人或很少有人走过，留给你的可能是硕果累累。走别人开辟的老路，虽然看起来很安全，但因为走的人太多，财富与资源大多已被人占有。即使幸运地发现了一小部分，也必然会被蜂拥而至的人群争抢与瓜分。” 1．根据以上文章写一篇读后感； 2．你如何看待小刘的成功之道； 3．关于成功你有什么经验和建议?
