    For me, the word "success" has a very vague meaning. It is a relative concept. For example, an ordinary worker at a factory gets promoted and becomes the head of the workshop - he is successful, but in comparison with the scientist who invented the vaccine against a deadly disease, he can hardly be called successful. In the modern world, when applying for a job, one can often find the item “Ability to work in a team” on a resume. This means that large companies often claims that being part of something larger makes one more successful. In the history of many companies one can find such words as “There were two of them, and they started their business in their father’s old garage” or “Two brothers created a company”. Such stories show that great things are done together. For example, team successes include such great giants as Google founded by two friends Sergey Brin and Larry Page, or Apple founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. Such examples show how important it is to find a partner who will work for a joint project. Success is something indescribable. It can often be confused with luck or self-deception, but the most important thing is to decide how you will achieve your goals, alone or with someone else This is very well written, but it is not perfect. Some of your word choices convey what you intend to convey but in English we would usually use a different word. "Accomplice" is often used to describe two people committing a crime. The word is not necessarily wrong and your meaning is clear, but this is not a word for typical English usage. A partner or partners would probably be a better word. I am learning French and wish I could write this well in French. Overall this is very good.

    There are words we drop in English but "do" in not normally one of those words. If you are looking at a list of things like: "I do not like cheese, not like bacon, and not like pineapple" The way this should be written is "I do not like cheese, bacon, or pineapple". When you are listing words like this, the verb at the beginning of the list applies to all of the words and the not is implied. The word "that" can often be dropped. This is acceptable in most most situations. So rather than say "I bought the groceries so that I can make the dinner" you could say "I bought the groceries so I can make the dinner". For the sentence: Filmmakers make sick and twisted films to display violence and **not** concentrate on a substantial plot. This would be a very common way of writing on the internet but is not grammatically correct. It does not make your english sound more fluid. It does look more casual, but this sentence looking casual comes at the expense of possibile clarity and it is better to simply use the word "do". It does not really look like you know English better not to use do here, it only looks like you wrote the sentence in a hurry and without thinking about how it should be written. The sentence is completely understandable, but it is simply better to always include the word "do" in this situation. As to dropping a word like that, many people do not feel comfortable doing so because it is not really taught although it is grammatically acceptible in many situations. In most cases, it is better to use these words because of clarity. You will learn when you can drop a word like "that"from reading English once you know the rules. The American writer Thomas Pynchon drops the word "that"regularly, and it is grammatically acceptible to do so when he does it. His novels are very difficult, but if your English is at that level you can see someone who writes proper English manipulating the language for voice.
