關于堅持 On Perseverance

Behind every great achievement in anyone's life lies perseverance. We see this in every human endeavor. Outstanding sportsmen spend all their time practising. Their endurance is beyond imagination.

每個人的生活中的每一個偉大的成就背后都要有毅力。在每個努力的人中我們都可以看到這一點。優(yōu)秀運動員把所有時間都花在練習上。他們的耐力是超乎想象的。

The same is true of businessmen who build up fortunes. 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 then, 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.

對于獲取財富的商人也是相同的。我們通�？吹降氖撬麄兊某删停�但是，一旦我們走進幕后我們會發(fā)現他們已經付出了大量持續(xù)穩(wěn)定的努力。我們都讀過關于偉大的音樂家，作家和發(fā)明家的成就，他們都已經創(chuàng)建或發(fā)現突破。他們總是說他們所有的成功都歸功于堅持堅持。相當大數量的大學生通過毅力已成為成功的語言學習者，然而，他們中的一些特定的人只是半途而廢而他們之前的努力也就變成徒勞的。

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.

無數的例子中，桑德斯上校的傳奇例子也許是最優(yōu)秀的。來自肯塔基州的這位65歲老人做了一個在世界各地開連鎖炸雞餐廳的夢。為了實現他的夢傳，他知道他需要一個餐館老板與他合作開第一家餐館并且根據他的炸雞秘方制作。在桑德斯上校終于找到他的合作伙伴時，他已經敲了1008次門了。毫無疑問的是我們中的許多人未必有毅力敲一百次門

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.

從上面的討論中我們可以得出一個結論，成功只給那些一直堅定地工作的人而缺乏毅力只能導致挫折和失敗。
