能夠堅持到底的人，往往都可以常到成功的果實！大家共勉之嚕！

看看這篇文章怎麼闡述人生中「毅力」的重要性！

Napoleon declared, “Victory belongs to the most preserving.” Upon careful study we find perseverance depends upon three things---purpose, will, and enthusiasm. He who has a purpose is always concentrating his forces. By the will, the hope and the plan are prevented from evaporating into dreams. Enthusiasm keeps the interest up, and makes the obstacles seem small. Life is in a sense a battle. The man who thinks to get on by mere smartness and by idling meets failure as last. Perseverance is the master impulse of the firmest souls, and holds the key to those treasure-houses of knowledge from which the world has drawn its wealth both of wisdom and the moral worth.

Great men never wait for opportunities; they make them. They seize upon whatever is at hand, work out their problem, and master situation. The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given to him. This is success and there is no other. One of the important lessons of life is to learn how to get victory out of defeat. It takes courage and stamina, when mortified by humiliating disaster, to seek in the ruins the elements of future conquest. Yet this measures the difference between those who succeed and those who failed. We can’t measured a man by his failure. We must know what use he makes of them. The man who has not fought his way upward and dose not bear the scar of desperate conflict does not know the highest meaning of success.

    本文一開始便破題，引用拿破崙的名言：「勝利是屬於最有毅力的人。」來強化其說服力，接著，作者也將「毅力」下了一個定義，：目標、意志與熱忱（purpose, will, and enthusiasm）。本文有許多雋永名言，例如：「生活就是一種戰鬥」、「偉人絕不會等待機會：他們創造機會」、「人生最重要的課題之一，是學習如何從失敗中獲勝」等等，均可做為大家的座右銘值得我們深思與警惕。
