赵思凌 四川省绵阳市东辰国际学校   Staring at my marks, I was trembling. The highlighted ‘50’ was like explosions in the sky (a bolt from the blue) , which suggested I  utterly failed. However, to my astonishment, my mother didn’t keep a straight face with my paper in hand. Slowly she said, “It’s compulsory to face the music, boy. Always remember: Failure leads to success.” Ever since then, I committed those words to memory to stand up again after failure. My dear friends, failure is not dire. What  really awesome is giving yourselves over to the bad mood after failure. It’s a common sense that everybody wants to end up in success, so sparing no effort to work hard becomes a corollary. In history, examples of peoples who succeeded after failure were as many as stars can be (去掉). For instance, Edison was kicked out of school on account of his bad grades. However, he immediately overcame the sadness and committed himself to scientific invention. Then, as we all know, he became the greatest inventor after failure and was universally highly though (thought) of. From this, we can see, failure never defeated Edison. On the contrary, failure turned into the power of his success. On top of that, I want to mention Alert Einstein, whose life was considered a downright failure by his teachers. Alert’s teacher used to maintain that he (the boy) was too iconoclastic and inevitable to becomea philistine. Alert took a very view of that. He developed his interest in physics and tried his best to do research on some moscopolitan (cosmopolitan) problems. At last, his “Theory of Relativity” made the world convinced that he was successful. Depending on my personal experience and emotional concern, failure is totally the darkness before dawn. if (If) we pull ourselves out of the black abyss, we will see the sun shining above the horizon.” God helps those who help themselves.” Only when we help ourselves in (out of) failure, it eventually leads to success (can we eventually achieve success).
