The Bridge to Success __ Perseverance? 成功的桥——坚持不懈

Everyone wants to be successful, but what can lead to success? The answer is perseverance.

When I was in kindergarten, the art teacher often asked us to draw pictures. Whenever I had drawing homework, I often asked my mother to help me. She always liked to help me. But one time, the teacher gave us some drawing homework and asked us to finish it at home. I got home and showed my mom the homework. She was busy making dinner at that time, so she told me, “You can draw it by yourself. You haven’t done any of the drawing on your own so far. You have to do your homework on your own from now on.”

In my room, I opened my homework notebook. My homework assignment was to draw a dolphin pushing a ball. “It’s easy”, I told myself. So I took out a drawing pencil and started to draw carefully. I had drawn many times, but I couldn’t draw it well. I wanted to give up, but I was afraid the teacher would punish me the next day. So I drew the dolphin again and again. “Isn’t that line too high?” I thought to myself and drew my picture again. Finally my drawing was very much like the one in the textbook. I was successful in the end. I showed my drawing to my mom and she praised me. From that time on, I did my homework by myself every time.

That is my story. What I want to say is, being successful is everybody’s dream. We need to work hard for our dreams. If we can persevere in everything, then we will be successful and our dreams will come true!?

每一个人都梦想着自己成功， 但是如何才能成功呢？答案就是坚持不懈。

在我上幼儿园的时候， 老师常让我们画画。每次我有画画作业时，我总是让母亲帮我完成。她也总是乐意帮我。有一次，老师又布置了画画作业，希望我们回家完成。回到家，我把作业拿给妈妈看时， 她正在做饭。她很不高兴地对我说：“你必须自己画。因为，到现在为止你都不能自己完成作业。” 我很沮丧，我现在要自己画画了。

打开作业本一看，老师想让我们画一只顶球的海豚啊！ 我心想这太容易了。 于是我便拿来一只画画铅笔，认真地画了起来。可是，我画了一次又一次，可还是画不象。我想放弃了，可是我又怕老师会惩罚我，所以，我便一遍又一遍地画了下去。这条线是不是该高点呢？ 我这样想着，便对着作业本又画了一遍， 画好后我再一对照， 哈，我成功了。我画的海豚和作业本上的真是太象了。我把我画的拿给妈妈看， 她表扬了我。从此以后，我每次都自己完成画画作业。

故事到这儿就结束了。我想说的是，成功，是我们的梦想。为了自己的目标而奋斗，坚持不懈，那么我认为我们就是胜利者， 让我们去实现我们的梦想吧。
