留住曾经激励自己的一篇文章

     A young man once asked his grandpa, "Grandpa, how is it that you've accomplished so much in your life? You're still full of energy, and I 'm already tired of struggling. How can I get that same enthusiasm that you' ve got?"

When you meet up with challenges, welcome them. They'll leave you wiser, stronger, and more capable than you were the day before. When you make a mistake, be grateful for the things it taught you. Resolve<决定> to use the lesson to help you reach your goals.

Most important of all: never give up on yourself. The person that ends up as a winner is the one who resolves to win. Give life everything you've got, and life will give its best back to you.
