　　Failure and Success　　成功和失败

Here it becomes very important to keep our head on shoulder.

　　有一句名言：“失败是成功之母”，失败和成功是紧密联系的。它帮助我们体验生活，教我们如何生存，并且在处理日常生活中遇到的复杂事情时，给予了明确的解决方法。随之成功而来的是金钱，名誉，自豪，和尊重。此时，保持头脑清醒时非常重要的。

　　Hope and Despair　　希望和绝望

　　Hope is magic that pulls people out of the edge of despair and gives them the energy to go for a bright future.Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

　　希望具有魔力，它可以使在绝望边缘的人找到寻找光明的力量。生活经验告诉我们不要对昨天感到惋惜，因为昨天已成为过去，并且是我们无法控制的。明天是未知的，因为它有可能带给你光明，也有可能带个你阴霾。因此，我们所能做地就是今天努力工作，以求更好的明天。
