9、 Beside is the subtitle saying that “success means persisting five minutes more than others“. We can infer from it that the man sets these many clocks just to remind himself that he should never give up.It is very true that success derives from persistence, for which there are several reasons. First
10、ly, no accomplishment can be achieved in a short time, and success asks for continuous industrious work and efforts. Secondly, when one is able to insist in stepping towards achievement, he must believe what he dedicates to. This belief is the source of persistence that paves the way to success. Thi
11、rdly, just as the saying goes, “Rome was not built in one day“, success is founded on the basis of patient pursuit that can never be impeded by temporary failures.To conclude, I would like to borrow another ancient saying that “He who laughs last laughs best“.

That is to say, such a spirit can be adopted in everybodys life and work, spurring people to overcom
15、e any difficulty and conquer any challenge. Moreover, if the Olympic motto is thoroughly promoted along with Chinas opportunity to hold the 2008 Olympic Games, it can be a tremendous momentum pushing the countrys development.A good example that echoes mis spirit is Zhang Haidi, the famous Chinese di

17、As the old Chinese saying goes, only through reading thousands of books can one write fluently.It echoes with this picture in which a candle is smiling, and holding a book, indicating the enlightenment from books. The title of the picture further points out that reading books can enlighten and devel
18、op our thoughts with the help of others thinking. The picture is meant to encourage people to read more books. As far as I am concerned, I think books are a treasury of all knowledge accumulated over thousands of years. Via reading books, we can not only learn what mankind has achieved, but can also
19、 be greatly inspired to develop and innovate on the basis of existing knowledge. This universal truth can be particularly proven in the academic field, where reading all previous literature of a specific discipline is of elementary significance to laying the foundation for new discoveries.A brief re
