The secret of success
One of the keys to being successful in anything you do is persistence.Once you have determined exactly what you want to accomplish, you must take massive action on a consistent ,and persistent basis in order to succeed.
If you take the time to study any successful person ,you will learn that the vast majority of them have had more "failure"than they have had "successes".This because successful people are persistent; the more they stumble and fall, the more they get right back up and get going again.On the other hand, people that don't get back up and try again,never reach success.
Absolutely,definitely,without any doubt,I have every confidence in myself.I will succeed. I can make it !

成功的秘诀：坚持不懈
任何事情取得成功的关键之一就是坚持不懈。一旦你确定了自己要达成什么目标，就一定要采取大量行动，并且始终如一、坚持不懈，直到成功。
如果你花时间去研究那些成功人士，你就会发现，他们绝大多数人的“失败”都比“成功”多。这是因为成功人士是坚持不懈的。他们摔倒的越多，站起来继续前行的次数就会越多。另一方面，那些摔倒或不爬起来再尝试的人，永远不会成功。
绝对地，毫无疑问地，我对自己充满信心，我一定会成功的

The Lion and the Mouse 狮子与报恩的老鼠
A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming:
"You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion."
狮子睡着了，有只老鼠跳到了他身上。狮子猛然站起来，把他抓住，准备吃掉。老鼠请 求饶命，并说如果保住性命，必将报恩，狮子轻蔑地笑了笑，便把他放走了。不久，狮子真 的被老鼠救了性命。原来狮子被一个猎人抓获，并用绳索把他捆在一棵树上。老鼠听到了他 的哀嚎，走过去咬断绳索，放走了狮子，并说：
“你当时嘲笑我，不相信能得到我的报答， 现在可清楚了，老鼠也能报恩。” 这故事说明，时运交替变更，强者也会有需要弱者的时候。
