Nothing succeeds without a strong will
没有坚强的意志将一事无成
There is a widespread humorous saying that “Quitting smoking is theeasiest thing in the world. I’ve done it for hundreds of times.” 1. Funny as itis, the saying ironically reflects the fact that strong will is the mostessential quality for anyone who wants to achieve something, and it plays a vitalrole in our success.
有一个普遍的笑话说：戒烟是世界上最容易的事儿，我已经做了几百次。有趣的是，这反映了一个事实，坚强的意志是人们完成一件事情的基本品质，他在我们的成功中扮演着重要的角色。
Our life involves all kinds of obstacles and setbacks which mayexhaust us. Therefore, we must have a strong will to meet the challenge. What’smore, there are many temptations waiting for us when we are striving forsuccess. For example, when we are doing our utmost to quit playing computergames, our friends just play with great satisfaction. Then how can we resistthe temptation? 2. Obviously, only with a strong will can we conquer ourselvesand realize our goals.
我们的生活展示出了那些耗尽我们精力的障碍与挫折。因此，我们必须拥有坚强的意志去迎接挑战。最重要的是，当我们追求成功的时候，那里会有很多诱惑等着我们。例如，当我们正在努力的戒除电脑游戏的时候，我们的朋友却玩的很高兴。那么我们应该如何抵抗这些诱惑。显然，只有坚强的意志才能让我们战胜自己，实现到自己的目标。
All in all, success only belongs to those who can suffer long yearsof toil and make constant efforts, just as the old popular saying goes, “Whenthere is a will, there is a way.”
总之，成功只属于那些能够忍受多年辛苦工作，不断努力的人，就像一句古话说的：有志者事竟成。
