When I was 13, my journey in a great valley changed my attitude towards the recording of a travel. During the trip, I was busy recording every event, name and place I came across. I felt proud to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} my time, keeping a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}description of my travels. On my last night there, after I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the tent, I went out with diary in hand. The sky was clear with the bright moon, and the walls of the valley looked frightening behind their curtains of shadows（阴影）. The beauty of nature at dusk {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my heart entirely. I took out my pen right away... At that moment, I understood that the beautiful scenery I saw {#blank#}5{#/blank#} was more meaningful than the tiring words that I had {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in my diary. Since then I have {#blank#}7{#/blank#} only to keep a special thought or feeling in my diary. The unforgettable moments I {#blank#}8{#/blank#} would be the sweet and lasting memories for my life.

    Overcoming Obstacles: How Your Biggest Failure Can Lead to Your Success

    There's been a lot written on the theme of failure and how essential it is to success. In a world where {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is given for people's accomplishments, failing feels dangerous. The fear of failure can stop people taking risks that might lead to success.

    Heidi Grant Halvorson, a psychologist, points out much of success is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} not on talent but on learning from your mistakes.

About half of the people in the world hold that ability in an area — be it creative or social skill — is natural. The other half believes, instead, that someone might have a preference or something — say painting or speaking foreign languages — but this ability can be improved through {#blank#}3{#/blank#} practice or training.

It's almost impossible to think rationally (理性地) while shouting at yourself, “I'm a failure”. But when you {#blank#}4{#/blank#} your thinking, you will probably see what you can control — your behavior, your planning, your reactions — and change them.

The primary {#blank#}5{#/blank#} between successful people and unsuccessful people is that the successful people fail more. If you see failure as a monster approaching you, take another look.

Success is as scary as failure. Researchers report that satisfaction grows on challenges. Think about it — a computer game you can always win is boring; one you can win {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, and with considerable effort, is fun. In pursuit of success, failure exposes areas that you need to {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. So the failure serves as a brick wall to test how you apply yourself to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} your objectives and how much you want them.

    There is a way to distinguish whether a failure {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you to double down or walk away, says Halvorson. If, when things get rough, you remain fascinated by your goal, you should keep going. If what you're doing is costing you too much time and energy or it's not bringing you joy, you should give a second thought to the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of your goal and even set a new one.

    People may wonder{#blank#}1{#/blank#} different words are used to describe these four countries England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can clarify this question{#blank#}2{#/blank#}you study British history.

    First there was England. Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to "Great Britain". Happily this{#blank#}3{#/blank#} without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, the southern part of Ireland was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}and broke away to form its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the Union Jack.
