Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure (失败), teachers, parents or others often say to us "Never
give up." These can be encouraging words. A person should believe in himself and keep trying to be
successful no matter how many times he fails. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will seldom achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to
fail in something new, so we should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail , we will not be
able to develop new skills and grow.
Another reason is that we can learn from our mistakes so as not to do the same things again. If we do
not try once more, the lesson we have learned is wasted.
Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and
this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge(挑战) ourselves,
we will begin to doubt our abilities.
In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. We succeed in the end or
not, we will learn something , and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident.
What"s more, if we give up , we have no chance of realizing our dreams any more , but if we keep making
great efforts, there is always a chance that we will be successful one day.

| One man was reading a newspaper on the deck of a ship.Suddenly it blew strongly, the man"s hat was blown into the sea. He touched his head with his hand and went on reading his newspaper. There was a person beside him who was surprised and told him: "Sir. Your hat was blown into the sea. " "I see. Thanks. " He said and then read the newspaper again. "But your hat is worth a lot of money. " "Yes, I am thinking of how to save money and buy another one. I lost my hat, I felt very sorry. But can it come back?" It is true that the lost thing sometimes will never return. It is better to think of ways to solve the problem than trying to find it. Many people have such experience (经历) that lost something valuable (有价值的)or important. Then they would feel very sorry and bitter. Why? It is because they can"t adjust(调整) our attitude (态度) to such things. And only think about the things which will never return. But I think we should think about how to get the new one instead of regretting(遗憾) only. | ||||||||||||||||
