However, life is not always that pleasant. We also have to face failures. From my point of view, there is no permanent failure. Thus, we can learn from the failure and grow through it. In that way, we will have a step nearer to success. First and foremost, we gain experience from each failure, with which we can improve ourselves. Take Albert Einstein from (for) an example, he did have a hard time when doing researches. Faced with the successive failures, Einstein didn’t lose hope, on the contrary, he took a careful look on the former experiments to find outwhere the problem was. After several months of updating his methodology, Einstein declared his Theory of Relativity, leaving the whole world in amusement (amazement) and adorence (adoration). In scientific areas, there were a lot of people like Einstein. They learnt from the failures and succeeded. Second, during the hard times, we strengthen our willpower and tolerance. We have to be strong when meeting the hardships. As a result, our character becomes tough. And this plays a significant role in gaining success. As is known to all, Si Maqian was a noticeable figure in Chinese history. In Si Maqian’s prime, he suffered a cruel sentence. All of a sudden, he lost his profession. But to people’s surprise, he didn’t surrender to the fact. He put more effort to his works. Later, he wrote a book full of the histories of the dynasty, letting others have a vivid and clear knowledge of Chinese history. Just because Si Maqian’s will power and spirit did he overcome the failures and made great contribution. From the facts listed above, we can draw the conclusion that failtire is the condition (precondition) to success. By coming through failures, we get mature and more determined. So, what is the right attitude towards failure? Naturally everyone will be down. But more crucially, you should NEVER GIVE UP ON OURSELVES (YOURSELVES). One thing is for sure: No one is born to lose! Never ever consider yourself as a loser just because one failure. Everything will be in the past. The point is to screw your courage and confidence, no matter how miserable your current life is. You are impossible to be a winner without beliefs in yourself. To sum up, one should not only have an outstanding capability but also a spiritual quality in order to success (succeed). Through failures, we see where the trouble lies and are more possible to succeed at the next time. That is to say, we are growing through failures. With this mind, we are bound to say, “I came, I saw, I conquered. “ Proudly when we finally reach our destination!

Have you ever been troubled by the election (selection) between formal university education and informal higher education? If you never had such an experience, you would never know the dilemma that many people are facing. Those people who approve of the formal university education claim that it has so many benefits for us. First, we can obtain copious knowledge in the university. University, as it has come to be known, is the paradise for learners who are thirsty for knowledge. Meanwhile, we can also learn how to study by ourselves when we step into the society. In addition, there are a great many opportunities waiting for us, from which we can enrich our experience to meet the need of our country. There was a time when people compare the university to the Ivory Tower. Indeed, the saying is proper to some extent. Perhaps we can come across a lot of life-long friends. Last but not least, we can find a satisfied vocation after a four-year hard work. However, people rarely reach an absolute consensus on such an (a) controversial issue. No school has received more praise and abuse than the university. Critics argue that there are many good reasons against the Ivory Tower. First, nowadays, to attend a university needs so much money that a lot of families cannot afford to realize their children’s dream. On the contrary, the informal higher education cost less. Meanwhile, students can spent (spend) less time in school. In addition, university, as it were, exerts too much pressure on students. Some students choose the informal higher education in the hope of having more freedom and rights. In my opinion, it is so crucial to make a wise chooce (choice) that we cannot afford to make a mistake. After a careful consideration, I stand on the side of the former. Despite the fact that university has its backdraws (drawbacks), its advantages are more obvious. In the new century, our country needs a great many experts. We should try our best to make our country more beautiful, restful and peaceful. In a nutshell, I strongly advise students select formal education.
