I will persist until I succeed
In the orient ['ɔrichardson:rɪənt] young bulls [bʊl] are tested for the fight arena [ə'ri:n两个感恩节的绅士ə] in a certain manner. Each is bought to the ring and allowed to attack a picadorviddy ['pɪkədɔ:] who pricks [priks] them with a lance. The bravery ['breɪvərɪ] of each bull is then rated with care according to the number of times he demonstrates ['demənstreɪpack it for met] with his willingness to charge in spite of the blade. Henceforth [ˈmyhobby英语作文hensˈfɔ:θ] will I recognize that each day I am tested by life in like manner. If I continue too charge forward, I will succeed.
I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure cour in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refud to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not tho who weep and complain, for their dia is contagious [kənˈte街道办事处英文ɪdʒəs]. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhou 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 e

ncounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how clo it lies unless I turn the corner. Always will I know how clo it lies unless I turn the corner. Always will I take anther step. If that is of no avail [ə'veɪl] 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 below of my blade against a mighty oak [əʊk]. The first below may cau not a tremor in the wood, nor the cond, nor the third. Each below, of itlf, may be trifling, and em of no conquence. Yet from childish swipes the oak will eventually tumble. So it will be with my effort today. I will be likened to the rain drop which washes away the mountain; the ant who devours 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.
I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phras as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unw
orkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools. I will avoid despair but if this dia of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil [tɔɪl] and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head, for I know that where dry dert ends, green grass grows.
I will remember the ancient law of averages and I will bend it to my good. I will persist with knowledge that each failure will increa my chance for success at the next attempt. Each nay I hear will bring me clor to the sound of yea. Each from I meet only prepares me for the smile to come. Each misfortune I encounter will carry in the ed of tomorrow’s good luck. I must have the night to appreciate the day. I must fail often to succeed only once.
I will try, and try again. Each obstacle I will consider as a mere detour ['di:tʊə(r)] to my goal and challenge to my profession. I will persist and develop my skill as the mariner develops his, by learning to ride out the wrath [ræθcruelly]chee什么意思 of each storm.
I will not allow yesterday’s success to lull [lʌl] me into today’s complacency [kəmˈpleɪsnsi],
for this is the great foundation of failure. I will forget the happenings of the day that is gone, whether they were they were god or bad, and greet the new sun with confidence that this will be the best day of my life, so long as there is breath me, hat long will I persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles of success: if I persist [pə'sɪst] long enough I will win.
I will persist, I will win.
