初二英文作文：What Is the Secret of Success

What Is the Secret of Success
　　My father is an engineer. He works very hard.
　　Once I asked my father what the secret of success was. He didn't say a word, but wrote a few words on a piece of paper and handed it to me. I looked at the paper. On it was written: A=X+Y+Z.
　　What does it mean?I asked.
　　A means success, explained my father. X means hard, Y means good ways, and Z means you must stop talking and start to work.
　　That's right. From then on, I tried my best to be better.
