Answer 1

Years of school life has taught me a lot of things. What impressed me most is that failure comes from lack of efforts rather than lack of ability.

When it comes to that, memories flood into my mind. I can still well remember it was a time when I was in senior 1. Every one of my class said I was smart and clever, and I fancied myself too. But to my great disappointment, I failed in a very important test. Seeing through my puzzle, my head teacher said to me,” failure comes from lack of efforts rather than lack of ability.” It was his words that woke me up. So I spared no efforts to study and made great progress in the end.

From my own experience, I can draw a conclusion that we fail because we don’t try our best rather than we are not intelligent. Only when we have a good knowledge of it can we succeed in our life.
