besides, they kept their goals in mind, and they carried rocks even in difficult situations, which helped followers do further research;
Finally, what they had done encouraged next generation to explore the unknown world bravely.
Suggested answers:
be positive and confident;
keep calm and find out solutions;
keep on going and never give up;
try our best and face the difficulties bravely...
