Text:Don't Give Up
If we want to accomplish anything in life,
let us not forget that we must persevere.
If we want to learn our lessons well in school,
we must be diligent and not give up whenever we come to anything difficult.
We shall find many of our lesson very hard,
but let us remember that the harder they are,
the more good they will do us if we persevere and learn them thoroughly.
But there are some among us who are ready to give up
when they come to hard example in mathematics and say,"I can't dothis."
Those who say "I can't will never do anything worthwhile;
but those who say "I'll try" accomplish wonders.
Let us remember that we shall meet with difficulties all through life.
If we keep on trying,we shall be sure to conquer
and overcome every difficulty we meet with If we have a hard lesson today,
let us strive to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
And if we learn to master hard lessons in school,
it will prepare us to overcome the hard things that we shall meet in life,
when our school days are over.
