Persistence

Guidance for Reciting

Chairman Mao has ever said,“The amelioration of the situation and the acquisition of advantage come frequently from the efforts of further persistence.”We are often obsessed by darkness and despair while hiking in the journey of life,when persistence is the only way out.“Perhaps,the lack of persistence will keep us in darkness forever”.

I wouldn't care success or failure,

for I will only struggle ahead

as long as I have been destined to the distance.

I wouldn't care the difficulties around,

for what I can leave on the earth is only their view of my

back

since I have been marching toward the horizontal.

Notes

1.be destined to (=be doomed to)注定要

2.horizontal [7hRri5zRntEl] n. 水平线,水平面,水平位置

执着

诵读导言

毛主席说:“形势的变化和有利地位的取得常常取决于再坚持一下的努力之中。”在人生路上,我们时常跋涉于黑暗和绝望之中,在黑暗和绝望里的坚持,是我们到达彼岸的惟一凭借;如果失去了坚持,我们也许将永远无法走出黑暗。

不去想是否能够成功,

既然选择了远方,

便只顾风雨兼程;

我不去想,身后会不会袭来寒风冷雨,

既然目标是地平线,

留给世界的只能是背影。
