to fill the gaps 1–5. There is one sentence you do
not need.
How Did They Make It?
What’s the key to success? We all want to
know! So, we asked a couple of people who have
made it to the top of their chosen professions what
they think is the secret.
Ben Salter, winner of two Olympic gold
medals for running:
How did I make it to the top? If I had a pound
for every time I’ve been asked this question, I’d be
really wealthy. If I could give a simple answer, I
would be even wealthier! My success has been in
athletics. People often wonder whether it is down
to my genes. (1) ___ Or is it because I started
training at a young age? To be honest, I think my
own success has been a result of a combination of
factors. I have parents who are keen on sports and
encouraged me to take up running quite early on.
(2) ___ Not because I had to, but because I loved
it. That’s what they gave me – a love for the sport,
and that was very important. However, when you
start talking about success itself, it’s important to
remember that there are a lot of talented sportsmen
out there, particularly runners. So why did I make
it to the top over those other excellent sportsmen
who were no doubt equally as dedicated as I was?
That’s where I think luck comes into play. And my
luck was living in an area which had a magnificent
sports club that offered free coaching to children
who showed promise. My parents could never
have afforded to pay a top coach to train me.
(3) ___ As it was, I received coaching from one of
the best coaches in the country. He inspired me to
push myself to the limits. Quite honestly I can say
that without him, I would never have made it right
to the top. Thanks Mac!
Dave Myers, entrepreneur:
4 of 5
 Name ............................................
You know, some people can have all the talent
in the world and never really get the success they
deserve. In my opinion, to be successful,
particularly in the business world, what is really
required is determination and perseverance. If
you’re a young entrepreneur like I was, you have
to have a goal and then really work towards it.
(4) ___ You need to come back from a failure,
fighting. That’s where the perseverance comes in.
Don’t give up! In my case, I knew very early on
that I wanted to have my own online business and
so, even when I was still at school, I’d get up early
and put in an hour’s work on the computer before
a day’s studying. In the evening I’d be on the
computer again. (5) ___ And it certainly wasn’t
plain sailing. There were many times when things
went wrong and I was tempted to change track. In
the end, however, all the hard work paid off and
my business has done extremely well. Some
people have said that my success is down to my
having a gift for spotting lucrative deals, or, as my
mother maintains, the ability to persuade anyone to
do anything! But I definitely believe that in the
end, what gives you that extra edge is working
hard and never losing sight of your goal.
A I used every spare minute I had.
B Being good at something isn’t enough on its
own.
C It’s not easy because you have to take chances
and there are a lot of disappointments along the
way.
D The cost was way out of their league.
E I remember training regularly from about the
age of six.
F Did my talent come from my parents?
