Never, Never Give Up

  We often hear people say, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
  One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned1 is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.
  In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better, more confident people. Furthermore2, if we give up, we have non chance of attaining3 our goals, but if we keep trying, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.

  参考译文:
永不放弃
  我们常听到人们说:“永远不要放弃。”这句话可能是要鼓励别人,也可能是表示自己的决心。相信自己的人,不管经历多少次失败,都会不断试着要达到目标。我认为,有成功的决心是每个人都应该有的重要特质。因此,我认为我们应该永不放弃。
  其中一个理由是,如果我们太轻易放弃,就几乎无法完成任何事。我们第一次尝试新事物会失败,这是很平常的事,所以我们不应感到气馁,而应该要再试一次。而且,如果我们总是一失败就放弃,就无法培养新技能并且不断地成长。我们应该永不放弃的另一个原因是,只有再努力一次才能从错误中学习。如果我们不再试一次,那么我们所学到的教训就白白浪费了。最后,我们应该永不放弃,因为当我们努力达到目标的时候,我们就会培养出自信,而这种自信将有助于我们在生活的其他领域中获得成功。如果我们不挑战自我,我们就会开始怀疑自己的能力。
  简言之,当我们努力追求目标时,永不放弃是很重要的。不管最后有没有成功,我们都会学到一些东西,而我们所学到的东西,将会使自己成为一个更好、更有自信的人。而且,如果放弃的话,我们就没有机会达到目标。但是如果能不断地尝试,总有一天我们一定会有机会成功的。
