I will persist until I succeed成功1.pptVIP

Find Your Best Self I will persist until I succeed I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins（血管）. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd(牧羊人）. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious（感染性的） . Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse（屠宰场） of failure is not my destiny. The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner. Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult. Henceforth, I will consider each day‘s effort as but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak（橡树） . The first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood, nor the second, nor the third. Each blow, of itself, may be trifling（微不足道的） , and seem of no consequence. Yet from childish swipes（挥击） the oak will eventually tumble. So it will be with my efforts of today. I will be likened to the raindrop which washes away the mountain; the ant who devours（吞食，毁灭） a tiger; the star which brightens the earth; the slave who builds a pyramid. I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking（工作，事业）. I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat（退却）; for they are the words of fools. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil（辛苦地工作） and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacles
