  Hi there.

• 00:10

  This is Harry.

• 00:11

  And welcome back to English podcast, where I try to help you understand and use different parts of the english language.

• 00:20

  So today I've got the word success.

• 00:23

  Success.

• 00:26

  And we've got a lot of words that we can use to co locate with success.

• 00:31

  So let me give them to you and explain in a couple of examples how to use them.

• 00:36

  The first is to achieve success.

• 00:39

  Well, of course, we all like to achieve success in whatever we do.

• 00:43

  We don't always reach that particular goal, but we like to try to achieve success.

• 00:51

  And we achieve success because of our own endeavors, because of the effort and work we put into it.

• 00:58

  Or we can say we achieve success thanks to the support of our family, thanks to the support of our colleagues, thanks to the support of some benefactor, some supporters who have either given you financial support or something else.

• 01:16

  So a sports star who is starting off in his career as a golfer or tennis player will often need the support of a sponsor to get invitations to certain events.

• 01:30

  And then after some success at a lower level, he rises and rises in the ranks of the tennis ranks and eventually wins some very significant competition in which he then say that his success or the success that he achieved is due to the support of his many, many sponsors.

• 01:53

  Okay, so to achieve success, we can deserve success.

• 02:02

  So when we deserve success, it's usually because we have spent many years or in some cases decades trying to achieve something.

• 02:10

  So a scientist trying to unravel the intricacies of some disease, for example, cancer research, eventually toasts the success of his breakthrough drug that is going to mean an end to extensive chemotherapy for some people.

• 02:32

  So everybody around the world will say, well, he deserves the success because he has spent many years researching, he has spent many days and nights trying to find that little breakthrough that will make the difference for thousands, perhaps millions of people around the world and into the future.

• 02:54

  So he deserves success or he deserves his success.

• 03:00

  Or the success is well deserved.
