励志感悟 1. [00:00.14] Perseverance [00:05.17]Perseverance depends on three things-purpose, will, enthusiasm. [00:10.46] He who has a purpose is always concentrating his forces. [00:15.88]By the will, the hope and plan are prevented from evaporating into dreams, [00:22.36]and a little gain is all the time being added. Enthusiasm keeps the interest up, [00:29.64]and makes the obstacles seem small. [00:32.98]The man who thinks to get on by mere smartness and [00:37.61] by idling meets failure at last. [00:40.89]Life is in a sense a battle. [00:43.44] Perseverance is the master impulse of the firmest souls, [00:48.13]and holds the key to those treasure-houses of knowledge [00:52.23]from which the world has drawn its wealth both of wisdom and of moral worth. [00:58.37]Great men never wait for opportunities; [01:01.30]they make them. They seize upon whatever is at hand, [01:05.73] work out their problem, and master the situation. [01:09.53] The greatest thing a man can do in this world is [01:13.32]to make the most possible out of the stuff [01:16.93]that has been given to him. This is success, [01:20.18]and there is no other. [01:22.47]One of the first lessons of life is to learn how to get victory out of defeat. [01:28.22]It takes courage and stamina, [01:31.05]when mortified and embarrassed by humiliating disaster, [01:35.30]to seek in the wreck or ruins the elements of future conquest. [01:40.59] Yet this measures the difference between those [01:44.31] who succeed and those who fail. [01:46.53]You cannot measure a man by his failures. [01:49.64]You must know what use he makes of them. [01:53.51]A constant struggle, a ceaseless battle to bring success from hard surroundings, [02:00.18] is the price of all great achievements. [02:03.54]The man who has not fought his way upward, [02:07.26]and does not bear the scar of desperate conflict, [02:11.15] does not know the highest meaning of success. 2. [00:00.11] The Two Roads [00:04
