UNIT 4　ADVERSITY AND COURAGE 人生重要的一课就是学会如何从失败中取得成功，而面对失败要寻求成功需要的是勇气和耐力。 Napoléon declared, “Victory belongs to the most persevering.” Through careful research we find perseverance depends upon three things—purpose, will, and enthusiasm.He who has a purpose is always concentrating on what he is doing.By the will, the hope and the plan can be realised.Enthusiasm keeps the interest up, and makes the difficulties seem small. Life is in a sense a battle.The man who wants to get on only by smartness and laziness meets failure at last.Perseverance is the main driving force for the strong­willed people to move forward, and holds the key to the treasure houses of knowledge from which great men have got its wealth both of wisdom and of moral worth. Great men never wait for opportunities；they make them.They upon whatever is at hand, work out their problems, and master the situation.The greatest thing a man can do in this world is make the most of the stuff that has been given to him and make great contributions.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 perseverance, when faced with failure, to seek your success.And this is the very difference between those who succeed and those who fail.We cannot judge a man by his failures.We must know what he learned from them.The man who has not fought his way upward and who never suffers the pain of desperate failure does not know the highest meaning of success.
