Everyone wants to be successful, but failure (失败) is a common thing for us to meet with.1, sometimes we fail the exams; sometimes in the sports meeting, others2 but we fail. So almost3 meets with the failure in his life.

However, different people have different4 to deal with(处理)the failure. Some people lose hope when they fail. They seem to think that it is the5 of the world. But others don't take failure6. They seem to think that failure is the first step(步骤)to success. They will7 and try their best to get the final success.

Now let's imagine( 猜想)the ends of the two ways. If we are afraid of the failure and always feel sad, and don't try our best to change ourselves, we may meet with more and more failures. But as8 as we are hopeful and brave to face the failure, and never give up, we will become9 and our dreams will come true some day.

So, please remember: Life doesn't give us the pleasure we want. But if we never give up and10do little by little, it will make a big difference.
