希望与梦想
Hope
What is hope? According to the Greek and Roman mythology（希腊罗马神话）, hope is the last thing that was left in Pandora’s Box. Hope is something that always stays with people no matter what kind of misfortune until the last moment.
Anyone who has some experiences will agree that life is hard. In our everyday life, there is often something unexpected falling on us. Sometimes it might be very hard for us to accept it. Faced with a heavy below, we tend to become discouraged or even disappointed. However, even under the despairing circumstances, we will find a thread of hope. And holding it, we can get the comfort and courage that will help us to try to change the present misfortune and achieve final victory.
So far we can see hope is really precious for everyone. It serves as a good company in our life, especially when we meet with misfortunes. It is the sunshine in our deep heart and can help us get over all kinds of difficulties in the world.
Failure
Failure is quite a common thing in our life. As long as we do things we will surely meet with difficulties. Of course, we should try our best to get over them, but in many cases, it is not easy or even impossible. Then how should we face failure?

Different people take different attitudes towards failure. When faced with failure, some people become discouraged and lose heart. They refuse to make any further efforts. These people will probably never achieve anything in life. Some people just don’t fear failure. They firmly believe that failure is the mother of success. As a result, failure can not stop them. On the contrary, they draw useful lessons from it and try even harder. Such people are sure to succeed some day.
As for me, I don’t think failure is a bad thing. Failure can never discourage me but only enrich my experience and steel my will. With this attitude in my mind, I will try hard in everything. I’m determined to do and attain success in the end.
