2．(5分) Are you afraid of failure? However, only by overcoming fear of failure can we achieve success in life. Here are some tips on how to remove fear and focus on success:
Understand that at times you make mistakes. 1 Before any of us learned how to walk, we crawled (爬行). We got up, fell down and got up again. We continued the process until we could walk quite well.
2 Instead, view it as a stepping stone. Make certain that you learn from failure and then u what you have learned in future situations. Refu to consider failure a characte
r weakness. Doing so will only prevent you from achieving future success.
Remember that failure has produced many success. 3 Albert Einstein's teacher told him to quit school and said, "Einstein, you will never achieve anything!" Beethoven's music teacher said he was hopeless to become a compor (作曲家). Henry Ford's first two car companies failed.
Appreciate the benefits of failure. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "All life is an experiment. The more experiments you try, the better you make." It's hardly possible for someone to achieve success for the first time he tries. 4

2 Think about what it is. It could be your support, time, advice, a small gift or a thank-you card. Sometimes, even just the most harmless message can bring someone out of darkness and into the light. It's something that you have to give that can help others.
Keep yourlf healthy. 3 Look after your body and helping people will be easier. You'll have a clear mind and energy to achieve any task in your way.
