We often hear people say, “Never give up.” A person who believes in this will k  96  trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, i  97 you want to succeed ,you mustn’t give up.

One reason is that it is usual for us to fail in our first try at s  98  new, so we should not feel disappointed and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to d  99  new skills. Another reason we should n 100   give up is that we can learn from our mistakes. If we do not try again, the k  101 we have learned is wasted . Finally, we should not give up because as we work to reach our goals, we have c  102  in ourselves, and it can help us succeed in other areas of our lives.

In a word, it is i  103  that we do not give up when working for our goals. W 104  we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us become

b 105  and more confident.
