    　　Have successful people ever felt sad?Do they have any“secrets”to success?The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obama's“back to school”speech．Here is an excerpt(摘录)from his speech．

    　　I know that sometimes, you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard work－that your ticket to success is through rapping(饶舌音乐)or basketball or being a TV star, when chances are, you're not going to be any of those things．

    　　But the truth is, being successful is hard．You won't love every subject you study．Not all the homework will seem completely important to your life right this minute．And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try．

    　　That's OK．Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures．JK Rowling's first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out．Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots(投篮)during his career．But he once said,“I have failed over and over and over again in my life．And that is why I succeed．”

    　　These people succeeded because they understand that you can't let your failures beat you－you have to let them teach you．You have to let them show you what to do differently next time．

    　　No one's born being good at things．You become good at things through hard work．

    　　Don't be afraid to ask questions．Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it．I do that every day．Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness; it's a sign of strength．It shows you have the courage to admit(承认)when you don't know something, and to learn something new．

    　　And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged(泄气), and you feel like other people have given up on you－don't ever give up on yourself．Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country．

    　　Her mother said,“Don't be afraid, honey．Take courage!”

    　　“What's courage?”she asked, running to her mother's bed．

    　　Good health is very important．Everyone should do all he can to stay healthy．Being in good health means having both body and mind in good order, free from illness and pain．

    　　Good food, plenty of water, cleanness and plenty of rest all help in keeping our machines running as they should．Food does many things for our bodies．It gives what we need for keeping good health．It gives us energy for work and play．No food gives everything we need．We should eat foods of different kinds．Having enough to eat is not the same as having the right food．

    　　The water we drink helps wash away wastes formed inside our bodies．It also puts back the water we lose when we perspire(流汗)．Our bodies are actually more than half water．We must drink enough to replace what we lose．

    　　We feel better and look better when we are clean．A bath every one or two days is a good rule for most of us．Brushing our teeth is important part of keeping clean．

    　　It has been useful to work for good health．Millions of years ago, people live only 20 years．Now people can live about 70 years．It has gone up 20 years just since the beginning of the present century．
