We are excited when we reach our goals，and at that moment we laugh，clap，even are over the moon. Without doubt，good results make us joyful. However，we cannot always get what we want and be the winner all the time. Some people can't help doubting: “Are our efforts in vain？”
The answer is “No”. We should remember that we are not only measured by how many

goals we've reached，but how we acted，which means，process is also important.
Here is an example. Fruits are delicious. It takes trees a long time to bear them. In the process of growing，trees have to suffer from bad weather，insect bites and also intentional destructionsfrom human beings. So it is with us. Our life is like a journey. At the （故意的破坏）beginning，we set a goal，dreaming of it every night，but we should never forget that we spend most of our time on the journey. Unfortunately，many people only complain about the failure and then give up hope. In fact，it is the failure that teaches us to be brave and stand on our own.
I myself deeply believe that only those who experienced a lot can own the highly-valued characters，only those who adventured（冒险）can have the chance to succeed. It is said \pain，no gain.\，still full of energy，so why are we afraid of failure and why do we hesitate（犹豫）to take an adventure？
Young men，let's forget results，leave out pain，and just look forward and don't miss any chance on the journey！

But what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want.

You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem like you’ll never catch up.
When you know why you don’t like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It’s a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Your mum, dad, teacher or school counselor(心理辅导员) will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. It’s a great way to let out emotions(情绪).
