We Must Face FailureAs we all know, "Failure is the mother of success." But few people can really understand what the saying means.In the world, I am sure that no one dare say he hasn't met any trouble all his life. So we must face failure. In fact, failure is not fearful, but important thing is how to face it correctly. Facing failure, people will never take their fate lying down.They will try their best to work harder and harder until at last they succeed.Not being courageous to face setbacks, people have no chance to enjoy the pleasure of success. So they have nothing to do but feel sad and empty all day and all night. In fact, they lose the chance of success themselves.My friend, whenever in trouble, please remember, "Failure is the mother of success.
"我们必须面对失败我们都知道：“失败是成功之母。”但真正理解这句话的人却不多。我相信，世界上没有一个人敢说他一生中从没遇到过任何麻烦。因此，我们必须面对失败。其实，失败并不可怕，重要的是如何正确看待它。敢于面对失败，人们将不再由命运摆布。他们将全力以赴的辛勤工作，直到最后成功。不敢面对挫折，人们也就没有机会享受成功的喜悦。他们会无所事事，终日沮丧而空虚。事实上，是他们自己把成功的机会丧失了。朋友们，无论何时你遇到了困难，请记住：“失败是成功之母。”
youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by deserting our ideals.
years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart and my heart theres a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of
cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
thank you!
I want to be a teacher when I listen to my teacher carefully. I think I can be a teacher when I grow up.
I can help many students learn things well. I can play with my students, too. So we are good friends. I want to be a doctor when I see many doctors save their patients. To be a doctor is really great. I think I can be a doctor when I grow up.
Then I can help many people out of danger. I will be the happiest girl in the world. I want to be a reporter when I watch TV every evening. We can get lots of important information from them. They make the world smaller and also make us happy. I would like to be a reporter when I grow up.
And I can learn a lot about China and the other countries around the world. I can meet many superstars as well. I have lots of dreams. I think my dreams can come true one day, because there’s an old saying “where there is a will, there is a way.”
A young friend of mine asked me in a letter, "What kind of man should I be?" My answer was, "Be a fighter."
Another friend of mine inquired, "How should I live my life?" Again my answer was, "Be a fighter."
The author of In Praise of the Fighter says:
Riding on the ceaseless rushing torrent of life, I should pursue and overtake it so as to create an even greater and deeper torrent of my own.
If I were a lamp, it would be my duty to light up thick darkness. If I were the sea tide, I would marshal rolling waves to cleanse the beach of all accumulated filth.
This quotation reflects aptly the state of mind of a lighter.
Fighters are badly needed in our time. But such fighters do not necessarily go to the battle- field gun in hand. Their weapons are not necessarily bullets. Their weapons may be knowledge, faith and strong will. They can bring the enemy sure death without drawing his blood.
A fighter is always in pursuit of light. Instead of basking in the sunshine under a clear sky, he holds a burning torch in the darkness of night to illuminate people's way so that they can continue their journey till they see the dawn of a new day. It is the task of a fighter to dispel darkness. Instead of shirking darkness, he braves it and fights the hidden demons and monsters therein. He is determined to wipe them out and win light. He knows no compromise. He will keep on fighting until he wins light.
A fighter is perennially young. He is never irresolute or inactive. He plunges deep into teeming crowds in search of such vermin as flies and venomous mosquitoes. He will fight them relentlessly and refuse to coexist with them under the same sky. To him, life means nothing but continuous fighting. He either survives by winning light, or perishes with his body covered all over with cuts and bruises. In the course of the struggle, it is the "future" that serves as the beacon light to him; the "future" gives people hope and inspiration. He will never lose his youthful vigour.
You are well aware that you need to exercise to keep the body fit and, no doubt, accept that a reasonable measure of health is the speed in which your heart and respiratory system recovers after exercise. Likewise the faster you let go of an issue that upsets you, the faster you return to an equilibrium, the healthier you will be. The best example of this behavior is found with professional sportspeople. They know that the faster they can forget an incident or missed opportunity and get on with the game, the better their performance. In fact, most measure the time it takes them to overcome and forget an incident in a game and most reckon a recovery rate of 30 seconds is too long!
Imagine yourself to be an actor in a play on the stage. Your aim is to play your part to the best of your ability. You have been given a script and at the end of each sentence is a ful stop. Each time you get to the end of the sentence you start a new one and although the next sentence is related to the last it is not affected by it. Your job is to deliver each sentence to the best of your ability.
Dont live your life in the past! Learn to live in the present, to overcome the past. Stop the past from influencing your daily life. Dont allow thoughts of the past to reduce your personal best. Stop the past from interfering with your life. Learn to recover quickly.
Remember: Rome wasnt built in a day. Reflect on your recovery rate each day. Every day before you go to bed, look at your progress. Dont lie in bed saying to you, I did that wrong. I should have done better there. No. look at your day and note when you made an effort to place a full stop after an incident. This is a success. You are taking control of your life. Remember this is a step by step process. This is not a make-over. You are undertaking real change here. Your aim: reduce the time spent in recovery.
In fact, others will think you is what kind of person is not important, important is whether you sure myself. Others will think you is what kind of person is not important, important is whether you before someone else beat you, just lost to yourself!
No matter at what time, everyone must value yourself, before people sure you, you have to be sure of yourself!
Life is the most powerful enemy is yourself, the biggest challenge is to challenge ourselves.
Sure myself, is a triumph of the will.
To conquer yourself, is a kind of soul.
Control yourself, it is a kind of reason of success.
Create yourself, is a kind of psychological state of sublimation.
Beyond themselves, it is a kind of mature in life.
Who can sure, conquer yourself, control yourself, beyond themselves, have enough power to overcome all the difficult in career and life, all the setbacks, all misfortune.
Of course, we have to admit that is a weakness of human nature, in one's life to the most is overcome others, beyond the others, all things are to be better than others.
Everyone in the process of growth will meet many troubles and setbacks, those all need people and social understanding and tolerance. Our children are more hope that teachers and parents to care for and tolerance we a lot.
In the process of growth, we could not make mistakes, can't be plain sailing. For example, we study in the school study, I believe that each student's mood is the same want to test a full marks, happily papers to mom and dad will be praised, but often it is not good, why didn't satisfied with the school the teacher will criticize, students will click, home, bowed their heads and not language been disgraced. So the pressure is more and more big, even to the point of unwilling to learn, I hope the teacher and parents don't blame children for grades at that time is not ideal, hope for children to have a tolerant heart. Always encouraged, with the mood to counselling, let your child under the sunshine, slowly grow up, don't worry, knowledge over its reverse.
I remember when I was a child learned many, have so a words: ", at the beginning of the people, goodness... teach similar sex, your reputation... child does not learn, broken machine express... teach child, the young, keep not to teach, the father of ". Can be seen from the above parents godson method and the truth, why don't we parents can go to the school to visit! Parents don't to hurt their children's self-esteem, every child has his great ideal, but needs to be long care at home, discover, cultivate, tolerance to achieve growth.
We followed in the footsteps of time, day by day grow up, has evolved from a cute girl, growing into a beautiful girl.
Vaguely remember childhood, remember that time my innocence, I always want to grow up quickly, childhood also has sorrow and distress, so children always want to grow up soon.
Childhood is always spent in laughter. Eyes closed slowly, see picture in the brain, father, mother and four years old I see the photos together, a family full of happy smile on her face, then suddenly I found that only a few pictures of me in the picture, the in the mind think like this. Inadvertently found that there is a camera on the table, I suddenly stood up, took the camera to the desk, suddenly fell to the ground, said: "don't let your camera!" Mother's smile, dad's helpless, don't understand at that time. Children, always such a simple thought that the question, ask the reason, only know the result.
Eyes slowly opened and looked in the mirror, is a vibrant and energetic girl, think the past memories, or when a child is better. A little sour, a little sweet girl, can let we know our friends, parents, teachers, painstaking could take our time to study, parents always said in the future, the teacher always said in the future, sometimes we really tired, want to a person be quiet. Now I understand why the study well, because if you give up learning today, tomorrow there will be a good company and you said goodbye, so for the sake of your future, efforts to do every thing.
God gives us the same precious life, but give us different life attitudes and strange life forms. High overhead, someone domination; Someone beneath humble, yes. Some clever perspicacity, fame; Someone intelligent, life doing nothing. The world because of the variety show is rich, because different society and with the color.
Maybe your mind isn't agile, talent is inferior to others; Maybe your clothes, simple than others luxurious riches and honor; Maybe you are born in poverty, compared with others is famous for the door... If you're just being a member of the ordinary, in everything that makes you almost did not dare to face, then you are in the strong tall in the shadow of pain, since unwilling to mediocrity, or out of the darkness, looking for a piece of sunshine for yourself? Pain is the shadow of the pessimist, kind-hearted optimists will deliberately turned, look for to belong to own a piece of bright sunshine. As Chekhov said, the dog will shout loudly!
Our life is very ordinary, ordinary like a stone, not smooth on the surface of the mei-yu, cannot reflect the crystal brilliant charming luster. But we should not also can't so deny yourself, because we all have god to mankind, have innate tenacity and penetrate into the bone marrow of tough, how can because the mei-yu, the existence of the crystal and feel inferior? We must live for themselves. Live out their own color, not because the light of others masked humbled himself.
In China, there is no doubt that English is very important, because it has been the indispensable subject for students to learn since they go to school.
As our economy develops so fast and our country plays the more and more important role in the world, a lot of foreigners have started to learn mandarin. There is even a big TV show for foreigners to compete to be the one who speaks mandarin best. I have watched the show, I am so impressed that the foreigners can speak mandarin so well, for mandarin is such difficult to learn. My foreign teachers told me that so many people in their countries wanted to know more about China and they were interested in our culture.
The popularity of mandarin shows that our country has become stronger. We should be proud of that.

As a Senior Grade Three students, I am very busy in preparing for the college entrance examination. I have seven classes a day, and two self-study classes at night. And only a day left for the weekend. So, most of the time I have to spend on the study, after all the college entrance examination is very important for almost all of us. Aside of study, I would play football with my friends after school and the weekend. I like playing football very much. When I run on the football field, I can put the examination thing off my mind for a while, only sweat and laugh left. It is a good exercise for health and a good way to relax from the busy study too. This is my high school life, busy and fulfilling.
In 2011, the greatest CEO of Apple company, Steve Jobs passed away. People from all around the world felt pity for the loss of this great talent. They laid down notes and wrote some comments on the blog to show their respect. Looked at Steve's lifetime, he did not finished college and started his career in the age.

His insistence and creativity brought him great success in career, but later he got fired. He felt frustrated then he realized he could start his another career. He bought an animation studio and now it is very successful. The Pixar movie studio is popular around the world. Steve's story inspires the young people to fight for their dreams.
Life is a long process, we have too many expectations, will inevitably encounter disappointments and frustrations. The ideal on the shelf, come back to find that we like a fish, always thought that I had wings are birds, but finally I know that I can't fly. Life like water, and sometimes cloudy, sometimes clear, we struggle against social this big VAT - "I often feel life owed me, why do people always happiness and joy than yourself?" In the face of setbacks, we complain about life deceives us, we thought there was no hope of their life. We often compared himself to lost the swan, but forget oneself want how to fly.
As a child, then established the goofy's desire. So many years, has been trying to, in insist, waiting for, has vowed to make yourself proud fly. But the difficulty and the setback already ambush all around, let's get stuck here. We have very strong telling myself, don't because at present small setbacks, but let themselves to give up the dream life? Even if life has deceived me, but this is not fearful; The enemy attack me, also is not terrible, terrible is betrayed our dream and gave up. Even live tired, live hard, also want to insist on your dream, give their best confidence and courage, toward a glorious and brilliant tomorrow. But few people do it?
But grew up, social this big cylinder multifarious colors, we see more dazzling. But we think the bottom of my heart has its own principle, can easily be tempted by the outside world? When looking back to the history's dust, always feel oneself still maintain magnanimous feelings from the past, still with his own emotion, but always failed for himself and guilty about ideal life. We should think like this: one failure is nothing, still remains the most quality of the things we do, we insist the dream is still the most valuable. With the accumulation of time, looking at others get summer fruit, they themselves are empty,
Don't drop than wood sent to mountain, changping bacc the exhaust and the sea. Life is easy to fight old heart not old, is the so-called: never too old to learn, learn seventy also too few. Brief is life, but should not be in a hurry traveler, and it should be: June struggle of passion, such as fire, forward steps if the river waves, in the mountain mountain, the water cut of water! When we failure on the way of life, see more Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, shi tiesheng, Helen Keller... They are art and literature have these, but unfortunately in life. They bowed their heads? The fall? Complain about? Give up?
"Ups and downs of life," "I see the road, I will search up and down", "spring breeze willow ten thousand, millions of shenzhou ShunYao" poets are all in the pursuit of exploration. Life, have their own value. If a person can't make my life brilliant, but also have no reason to make it dull; Life can be ordinary, but not vulgar, vice; Life doesn't care about how much tear, and the process of lies in the pursuit of perfection and excellence!
Life is more precious than time. Life, the most dazzling is career. Life, the most happy is struggle.
Everyone has a tomorrow, everyone has a next year. A foothold today, look forward to tomorrow, based on this year, next year.
I believe that no matter how bumpy the road in the future, as long as you seize today, sooner or later, will taste the sweetness of life in the struggle. Seize the moment in your life, rather than waste a year in January!
The pursuit of positive, one percent of the hope may also become a reality; Passive waiting, ninety-nine percent sure will be ruined!
Recently the issue of students’ study has been brought to public attention. Students are anxious about how to improve their scores. Some work very hard. They spend all their time on study. They do nothing except study. As far as I’m concerned, it is not a good way to study. Alternate work with rest is the best to study well. Students should try their best to learn knowledge as Francis Bacon said,”Knowledge is power”. However, they should have other recreational activities to relax themselves. Because people can do things more efficient after relaxed themselves’s more, people can obtain knowledge from many sources besides books, which is beneficial for study. Thus, combine exertion and rest is the best to study.
Success is not final and failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
成功不是终点，失败也不是终结，只有勇气才是永恒。
Never cease to outdo yourself. There are no limits to the success you can acquire when you have an duanwenw.com uncontrollable drive to achieve. Any obstacles you encounter along the way are life’s test to establish strength and perseverance. If you continually possess determination and self-confidence throughout any situation, you will prevail.
超越你自己,永远不要停止。当你拥有无法過制的获胜冲动,你的成功将不可限量。前进路上的任何障碍都是用以确立力量和毅力的人生考验。 倘若你在任何情况下都始终拥有决心和信心,你将会无往不胜。

Silently I looked at him, and he walked in the park the cobbles, there are many children use the malicious look to him, he just laugh it off, "a group of lovely child!"
The next day, I still saw him walking on the stone egg road, the wind gently blowing, seemed unusually quiet. He walk, accidentally fell down. I have a look, panic nasty in the heart, calm to lifted him up quickly. He looked at me, thanks, then limped away, seems to don't want me to see his deputy.
That night, the figure appeared again: he walked old crutches, is to open the two meters high 'mailboxes. For a disabled people, turn a two meters high 'mailboxes on is not an easy thing. I took the keys in his hand, feet stand, took out a pile of paper and gave it to him.
He don't talk, his eyes filled with gratitude. He tried to put the tears back, clip the newspaper, and left. Presumably he would be in a corner crying, did not reveal any feelings in life, it is brave to face life.
In life, you to pay a small step for the disabled, in his heart is established is a kind of belief. Take care of the disabled, they need us every moment of the day.
Today, we played the measles vaccine at school. My left hand now and people with disabilities. My small eyes, a good idea, are brewing: my left hand is not convenient to move, it would be better experience life for the disabled in an hour!
These days the temperature drops, I also shivering in the building, I from the closet, a down jacket.

“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. others still can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself
“自立”是自然对每个人的要求.也许你的父母、老师能够帮助你,其他人也可以帮助你,但是所有这些人都只是帮你更加自主、自立。
There have been many men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhood, and no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few. They could not depend duanwenw.com upon them for an education. They saw how it was and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way till they became well-known.
历史上有很多伟人,他们在幼年时很穷,没有任何亲戚朋友帮助他们,而且当时很少有学校,所以他们无法从学校获得教育.认识到这一点,他们便开始自己努力去学习,并排除万难直到最后成功。

In the 1920s, a man from England had finish climbing the Himalayas which was thought to the most difficult mountain to conquer. People spoke highly of him and asked him how he conquered the mountain. The man said calmly that he conquered nothing but himself. These words seem to be simple, but for me, they are meaningful. When we face the difficulties, we will give up because we think we can’t do it. With that thought, we have given up so many chances to try. Life is a journey, if we stop keeping moving on, how can we see the coming scenery. It is obvious that the problem is ourselves, we are afraid of failure and refuse to try. If we get over this thought and have a try, then we are heading to the road of success. When we conquer ourselves, we are successful.

踊跃心态(PMA)
Positive Mental Attitude(PMA)
积极心态，是无论在任何情形下，都应具备的准确心态。这种心态是由“正面”的性情因素所构成的，诸如“信心”、“正派”、“盼望”、“乐观”、“勇气”、“进取心”、“大方”、“耐性”、“机灵”、“亲热”，以及“丰盛的常识”。
A positive mental attitude is the right mental attitude in any given situation and is most often composed of the plus characteristics symbolized by such words as"faith," "integrity," "hope," "optimism," "courage" "initiative," "generosity," "tolerance," "tact," "kindliness," and "good common sense."
积极心态是具备吸引力最主要的个性。事实上，在17项成功准则中，有许多项都以它作为要害性的要素。积极心态影响你谈话时的语气、姿态和脸部表情，它会润饰你说的每一句话，并且决议你的情感感触，它还会对你的思维产生影响。

既然消极心态对你的损坏力如斯之大，所以你最好还是待在家里，别出来和人竞争，消极心态只会为你建立敌人，并且捣毁你的成绩和友人。假如一位律师带着消极心态步人法庭，即便他所辩解的是全世界最棒的案子，仍是无奈压服法官和陪审团。你会对一位轻易发怒而又达观的医生发生信念吗?不!人们是毫不会容忍消极心态的。
A negative mental attitude is so detrimental to your efforts that you are better off staying at home than venturing out into the world with it.It will only make you enemies and corrupt your good works and allinances.A lawyer who goes into court with best case in the word will convince neither judge nor jury if her attitude is negative.What kind of confidence would you have in a sullen,pessimistic doctor,no matter how many degrees hang on the will? None! People simply will not tolerate a bad mental attitude.人生感悟
相形之一，积极心态为你开启了一扇门，并容许你展示技能和雄心壮志。想想那些带着信心步人法庭，并且以无比确实信，博得法官和陪审团支撑的律师吧：岂非你不想让一位能使你放松心境，以温和的语气答复问题，而且展现专业常识的医师为你看病吗?
In contrast, a positive mental opens doors and allows you to display your skills and ambitions.Imagine that lawyer presenting her case with confidence,gaining the ear of judge and jury because she is distinctively self-assured.Wouldnt you rather be treated by a physician who sets you at ease,answer your questions plainly,and demonstrates a knowledge of his field?
积极心态也是其余各种个性的形成因素，懂得跟利用其他个性。将会强化你的积极心态。人生感悟
Building a positive mental attitude is part of the other aspects of an attractive personality.As you read on,youll see how understanding and applying each of these points reinforce your PMA.
