A journey of perseverance

如何在逆境中堅(jiān)持不懈，將失敗轉(zhuǎn)化為通往成功的階梯？讓我們一起到文章中尋找答案！

Life is like a big picture, and every part of it stands for a choice, a hard time,or a win.Making your own way isn't just about getting where you want to go; it's about keeping on trying, even when things get tough.

Think about a big, strong oak tree,which started as just a tiny, weak seed.It got really high even though it went through lots of bad weather and hot sun.It didn't fall because its roots were deep and held on tight to the earth, believing it could grow.Just like the tree, we need to be strong to make our dreams happen.These roots are like our strong hope for what we can do, made stronger by keeping on trying, no matter what.

Sometimes, life can be like a wild ocean with big, scary waves that could flip our ship of dreams over.But the tough sailors don't give up.They hang on tight,keep their ship on track, change their sails,and are not scared of the wind.They use each blow to push themselves to new places.

When we face problems, there's something to learn hidden inside.Don't let the hard times stop you.Use them to step up.Every time you trip, get ready to walk even better next time.

Think about how hard Thomas Edison worked when trying to make a light bulb(燈泡) and everyone thought he would fail.He didn't give up, and finally, he made the whole world brighter, with his light bulb and his never-give-up heart.So, make your path with bright hope, color your travel with perseverance, and weave your story with lines of bravery.
