Persistence, success is at your feet

If a person wants to achieve anything great, he must be able to persist, and only by persisting can he succeed. Speaking of it, it may not be difficult for a person to overcome a little difficulty, but it is rare that he can persist in doing it until he finally succeeds.

The author of Jane Eyre once said meaningfully: People live to endure hardships. People are bound to have all kinds of pressures in their life, so they are always suffering inside, but this is the real life. Indeed, without pressure, it will be light, and without pressure, there will definitely be no

achievement. Choose pressure and keep going forward, and you can achieve yourself.

You might as well try again. There are many times in life when "a bad luck leads to another village". In the process of growing up, especially in my childhood, I was criticized, hit and frustrated by the outside world, so my enthusiasm and desire to make progress were suppressed by "self-limitation", but I didn't get timely guidance, comfort and encouragement. I am not only afraid of failure, but also accustomed to failure, losing confidence and courage, and gradually developing a narrow-minded, self-abased, withdrawn spirit, afraid of taking responsibility, not enterprising, and afraid to struggle, thus losing my dream.

the most obvious manifestation of such a character in life is to go with the flow and have no goal in life. The innate success was extinguished prematurely.

Failure doesn't mean failure forever, and goals that you can't reach don't mean that you can never reach them. You can have your own

dreams, and you can set a goal for your life.

If you choose the future, then you are a child of God; If you choose the past, you may still be an abandoned child.

the past can determine the present, but not the future. Your goals are set for the future, and you are making choices for your future.

the past is not equal to the future. Just because you succeeded in the past does not mean that you will succeed in the future; Failure in the past does not mean failure in the future

. The success or failure of the past only represents the past, and the future depends on the present. What to do now. What you choose determines what you have not

come! Those who fail should not be discouraged, and those who succeed should not be proud. Success and failure are not the final result, it is just a matter of life. Therefore, there will be no people who have always been successful, and there will be no people who have failed forever.

In daily life, a desperate situation is a challenge and an opportunity. If you are not intimidated, but try your best, you may

create a miracle beyond yourself.

The flowers of victory bloom in blood and sweat, and the laurel of honor is woven with thorns, overcoming all difficulties and being firm, and success belongs to the determined.
