If you lose 12 times in a row (连续地), will you just give up? Dale Carnegie ,a pioneer in public speaking and self- development, kept trying. And he became famous by showing people how to be successful.

Carnegie was born in 1888 in a poor farming family in the central United States. The boy didn’t see a train until he was 12 years old. In his teens, he had to get up at 3a.m. every day to milk the cows in his family. When Carnegie first entered college, he felt hopeless because of his clothes and ordinary looks. His mother encouraged him: “ Why not try to be better in other things instead of just dress and good looks?”

Carnegie tried to be more active in college . He joined the debate（辩论） team. But one after another, he lost 12 meets. The young man was very disappointed in himself. He said later that he thought of killing himself after so many failures. But soon Carnegie was seen practicing public speaking on the riverside . His hard work paid off at last.
