Why didn't you give up before the finish line?
There is a good saying: "losers let them fail, and winners create success."

Losers fail because they lose courage; Successful people succeed because they have the last laugh, not because they have never failed. Experiencing risk setbacks without changing the original intention is called "persistence", and persistence will win.

A man dug a well to get water, but he didn't see water at the expected depth. He was very disappointed. As a result, every time he digs down, if he still can't see the water, he feels like a blow. After hundreds of such blows, he admitted that he was unlucky, thought that he had chosen the wrong place, looked away and swore at other places. But the other man gave up after digging a few feet and drank the sweet well water.

You can't say that the previous person is stupid. Not all places can dig out water. The fact that he can find a place with water shows his strength. You can't say that the latter person is lucky. Not all people have an eye for water in abandoned places. Successful experience tells us that if we choose the right goal, we cannot give up easily.

Once people asked him, "You have made such outstanding achievements that you have completely ended the ravages of polio on mankind. After achieving such results, how do you view the previous 200 failures? " Dr Salk replied, "I have never experienced 200 failures in my life. The word "failure" is not in my dictionary either. As always, I am doing a job, which includes the first 200 experiments and the 20th1discovery. Without the first 200 studies, I can't get such a result. "

Li Yang, the founder of Crazy English, is also a persistent person.

In the first year of college, Li Yang scored the lowest in the whole grade and failed the English exam for two consecutive semesters. By the end of the second semester, Li Yang had failed 13. He felt ashamed. He told himself that he must break through the gray life! He chose English as a breakthrough and vowed to pass CET-4 four months later.

At this time, Li Yang, like others, began to do many problems. Occasionally, Li Yang found that his spirit would become particularly concentrated when he read aloud, so he ran to an empty place on campus and shouted English. Ten days later, Li Yang went to the English corner, and someone said strangely, "Li Yang, your English sounds much better." Wake up the dreamer in one sentence! Li Yang thinks that shouting English like this may be a good way to learn English.

In order not to give up halfway, Li Yang made an appointment with the hardest-working classmate in the class to shout English at noon every day. In the Martyrs Pavilion of Lanzhou University, Li Yang and his classmates shouted English sentences at the top of their lungs against the cold wind. They shouted from the winter of 1987 to the spring of 1988. In four months, Li Yang repeatedly read more than ten original English books and recited a large number of CET-4 questions: every day, Li Yang's pockets are full of notes copied with various English sentences, and he takes them out whenever he has time. From the dormitory to the classroom, from the classroom to the canteen, Li Yang's mouth has been moving. Four months later, Li Yang's tongue is no longer stiff, his ears are no longer out of control, and his reaction is no longer dull. In that year's CET-4, Li Yang finished the paper in only 50 minutes, becoming the second in the whole school. Li Yang, who has always failed in the exam, suddenly became a master of English and caused a sensation in Lanzhou University.

Li Yang, who tasted success for the first time, began to forge ahead in life. A few years later, Li Yang became the most popular English announcer in Guangzhou and the youngest member in translators association of china. He also got the nickname "Universal Translator". He once set an interpretation record of $400 per hour and an advertising dubbing record of $8,000 per minute, surpassing his Hong Kong counterparts and becoming the most expensive simultaneous interpreter in Guangzhou. Some people say that Li Yang's life was called out, but more accurately, it should be persistence.

Life is like a trip. When we reach a goal, it is often the last journey that is the hardest. Because at this time, physical strength and patience have reached the limit. If you don't persist, you will lose all your efforts. "He who travels a hundred miles is half ninety", which is an important reason why the weak are mediocre all their lives. If you want to succeed, you must persist and fight for the last mile.
