Show a sample on the screen. Where There Is a Will, There Is a Way It is well known to us that the proverb “Where there is a will, there is a way .” It means that anyone who has a strong mind can achieve his goal. Indeed, we can learn many things from it. For one thing, when you failed to do something, never lose heart. For example, Thomas Edison failed about 2,000 times before he succeeded in inventing the light. For another, as it is widely recognized that thought decides behavior, nothing will be hard to a determined and persistent person. Last but not least, confronting with enormous difficulties or frustration, only a man holding a steel will can get through and embark on a new way with a promising prospect. In my opinion, living in an age when the modern competition becomes more and more fierce, a strong will seems more necessary. If you understand the proverb and apply it to your study or work, you will necessarily benefit a lot from it.
