毅力 On Perseverance
On Perseverance
Behind every great achievement in anyone's life lies perseverance. We see this in every human endeavour. Outstanding sportsmen spend all their time practising. Their endurance is beyond imagination. The same is true of businessmen who build up for tunes. What we usually see are their achievements, but once we go behind the scenes we will find that they have put in a lot of continual steady efforts. We all have read of great musicians, writers and inventors who have created or discovered breakthroughs in human achievement. Invariably they have said that they owe all their success to perseverance. As to college students, quite a big number of them have become successful language learners through perseverance, however, a certain group of them just stop half way and their previous efforts turn out to be fruitless.
Of all the countless examples the saga of Colonel Saunders is perhaps one of the most outstanding. The 65-year-old man from Kentucky had a dream to start a chain of fried chicken restaurants all over the world. To realize his dream, he knew that he needed a restaurant owner to go into partnership with him to open the first restaurant and to fry chicken according to the secret recipe he had. Colonel Saunders had knocked on 1008 doors before he finally found his partner. It is doubtful whether many of us would have had the perseverance to knock even a hundred doors.
From the above discussion we can draw a conclusion that success comes to anyone who keeps working perseveringly and lack of perseverance can only result in frustration and failure.
毅力
在每个人的人生中,每一个伟大的成就都在于毅力。我们在每个人的努力中都看到了这一点。杰出的运动员们把所有的时间都花在训练上。他们的忍耐力是超乎想象的。那些增强和谐的商人也是如此。我们通常看到的是他们的成就,但一旦我们走到幕后,我们就会发现他们已经付出了很多努力。我们都读过伟大的音乐家、作家和发明家,他们发明或创造了人类成就。他们总是说,他们所有的成功都归功于毅力。对于大学生来说,他们中相当多的人通过坚持不懈的努力成为了成功的语言学习者,然而,他们中的一些人却止步于半途,而他们之前的努力结果却毫无结果。
在无数的例子中,桑德斯上校的传奇故事也许是最杰出的。这位来自肯塔基州的65岁老人梦想着在世界各地开一系列炸鸡连锁店。为了实现他的梦想,他知道他需要一个餐馆老板和他合作,开第一家餐馆,根据他的秘方炸鸡。桑德斯上校在找到他的伙伴之前,已经敲了1008扇门。我们当中的许多人是否有毅力去敲一百扇门都是值得怀疑的。
通过以上讨论,我们可以得出这样一个结论:成功来自于任何一个坚持不懈的努力,缺乏毅力的人只会导致挫折和失败。
