Traits and habits of a successful person I admire (sounds like an IELTS topic!)
It's not easy to define what success means. The majority of people think a successful person would be very resilient, proactive and innovative. In/To my mind, there is no one in the world I admire more than my grandfather, Jack Sun (alias). Before he retired, Jack was well-known as a president for a state-owned enterprise for fifteen years. He always spoke confidently and clearly without any notes whenever paper while he gave/was giving a speech in front of the thousands of employees. And (Moreover) no matter what happened, he came up with great solutions to problems all the time. Again, he bounced back from adversity. I remember grandpa was grieving as after one of my uncles died of a heart attack brought on by diabetes. Nevertheless, recharging his batteries soon/quickly, grandpa knew that the most important thing was to take care of his grandchild with great education. He is so resilient and kindhearted. Once I asked my grandpa, 'why are you concerned about so many things, you help grandchildren and more. You are old and retired, you are supposed to enjoy your life, like traveling, reading and jogging. Everyone should be independent, if your grandchildren has have any trouble, he could deal with it by himself or persuade the his parents may to give a favor to their children.' Unbelievable, my grandpa said, 'I help my grandchildren, in the meantime, I have helped my sons.' At that moment, I completely realized about understood that. What a slow-witted girl.
Unfortunately, grandpa has been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for several years, even although he's not able to recognize me. However, I still love to talk to him about the past funny things and enjoy this moment of happiness.

**
(I am having difficulty with the sentence ..He can deal with by himself or his parents (whose parents...the child?) may give favor to their children.) I didn't want to correct that sentence because I may completely change your ideas.
But you are doing well. These are not easy thoughts to translate.
