OnPerseverance

　　关于坚持

　　Behindeverygreatachievementinanyone'slifeliesperseverance.Weseethisineveryhumanendeavor.Outstandingsportsmenspendalltheirtimepractising.Theirenduranceisbeyondimagination.

　　每个人的生活中的每一个伟大的成就背后都要有毅力.在每个努力的人中我们都可以看到这一点.优秀运动员把所有时间都花在练习上.他们的耐力是超乎想象的.

　　对于获取财富的商人也是相同的.我们通常看到的是他们的成就,但是,一旦我们走进幕后我们会发现他们已经付出了大量持续稳定的努力.我们都读过关于伟大的音乐家,作家和发明家的成就,他们都已经创建或发现突破.他们总是说他们所有的成功都归功于坚持坚持.相当大数量的大学生通过毅力已成为成功的语言学习者,然而,他们中的一些特定的人只是半途而废而他们之前的努力也就变成徒劳的.

　　无数的例子中,桑德斯上校的传奇例子也许是最优秀的.来自肯塔基州的这位65岁老人做了一个在世界各地开连锁炸鸡餐厅的梦.为了实现他的梦传,他知道他需要一个餐馆老板与他合作开第一家餐馆并且根据他的炸鸡秘方制作.在桑德斯上校终于找到他的合作伙伴时,他已经敲了1008次门了.毫无疑问的是我们中的许多人未必有毅力敲一百次门

　　Fromtheabovediscussionwecandrawaconclusionthatsuccesscomestoanyonewhokeepsworkingperseveringlyandlackofperseverancecanonlyresultinfrustrationandfailure.

　　从上面的讨论中我们可以得出一个结论,成功只给那些一直坚定地工作的人而缺乏毅力只能导致挫折和失败.

　　坚持就是胜利

　　对于一个人来说,最令人激动的事莫过于成功.但成功路上荆棘密布,没有人能够随随便便成功.处在逆境中的人似乎更难以成功.但任何事情都有两面性.有人说：“每一个逆境中都深埋着机遇的种子,每一次失败都孕育着再次胜利的经验教训.”最重要的是有一种信念,那就是坚持.英国前首相丘吉尔有一句座右铭就是“永不放弃!”没有什么能代替不断的艰苦劳动,人生就是一个拼搏的过程.
