Topic 40 Never, never give up

Continuous exertion (ɪɡˈzə:ʃən напряжение, усилие, проявление силы воли, терпения) may sound very exhausting (утомительный; изнурительный) and thus, it is understandable even if some people suggest it should be better to give up sometimes. It is true at some points because the human race is not almighty (всесильльный) creature. However I would say it is not about giving up, but just changing a goal. Recognizing life events as a sequence (последоватьтельность, очерёдность, результат), I think even when giving up something, it is just adjusting (регулировочный, подгоночный) the goal to more reachable level and processes for previous goals always play a role in reaching next goal.

In the first place, I would like to emphasize (подчеркнуть) that this is not only about the youth becoming competent (дееспособным), but also about all the people making their own lives more comfortable and enjoyable. For instance, both following examples I present can be seen as continuous exertion: a young person trying to become a professional musician and a person on the verge (край, грань) of death exercising (тренировка) hands in order to move them better than the previous day. If their goals are too high for them, the young person may have to change it to be working in a related field such as becoming a commentator, a voice trainer or so, and the dying person may have to change it to exercise fingers instead of hands. That is, people naturally keep trying in any case until the last minute they accept death.

Furthermore, there are also two advantages of indomitable (упорный, stubborn) attitudes (позиция, отношение). Firstly, some different approaches (подходов к) to a goal are necessary, other than blind efforts. Such a contrivance (план, приспособление, устройство) activates brain and makes human beings more alive. I do not think it is exaggerative (преувеличенный, склонный к преувеличению) to say.

Secondly, this attitude is also important when trying to achieve something extraordinary, because chances and right ideas do not always lie all together. Other chances and ideas never show up (показывать, обнаруживать) if it is given up. Totally different idea or better chances sometimes appear after groping (идти ощупью) in the dark.

From what I have been discussing above, there is no doubt about favorable (благопритный) influences of continuous exertion. Whether (Ли) agree or disagree with the statement of this topic, people keep trying by nature and it does make us alive. When I have no energy left to keep trying, I simply keep it on my mind so as not to miss any possibilities. In other words, it is possible to keep trying even when feeling like giving up. Thus, I strongly believe that we should never give up.

Topic 40 Never, never give up

My English teacher always want us to remember Churchill's famous speech near the end of Second World War "Never, never give up. " This brought people in many countries extremely strong courage in front of blood and death and helped them overcome the most serious difficulties in the human history.

"Never, never give up because I can always see the coast and it brings me courage all the time." This is what the girl who swam across the English Channel successfully answered when the reporter asked what had made her reached her goal. She said that she chose a very sunny day to make sure that she can see her hope and just went for it. To be able to see the goal helps us a lot when we feel frustrated somewhere and even almost lose our confidence. In the long term to success, hope is our belief and it can make us be very strong when we face great difficulties and even want to quit. Some people failed simply because they lost their sight of their "coast" although they are very qualified and capable.

Never, never give up and always give yourself a second chance. We may fail sometimes but it absolutely does not mean that we will fail еvery time. Thomas Edison, one of the most famous inventors in the 20th century, tried more than one thousand times before he found out that tungsten was the right material for the electric bulb, and so as most of the great scientists in many fields. When the Curie couple faced failures they never gave up and always told themselves to stick to what they were doing. It's not likely to achieve a great success by the first try. The real success is always based on a great deal of failure.

Psychologists tell us that the influence of what we strongly hold in mind is so important to our career. First we have to make sure that our goal is achievable and practical then just go for it no matter how difficult it is and we will never lose our passion (азарт, увлечение) and will always be positive. The characters in The Lord of the Rings have thousands of chances to turn back. However they kept going because they were holding on to something ~ There is some good in the world that worth fighting for. "Never, never give up" is always the secret to success.
