Once I came across such words as " If a jewal falls into the mire, it remains as precious as before; and though dust should ascend to heaven, its former worthlessness will not be altered".
Then it hits me : It's not the external condition that decides your value. We're used to attributing our failure to the objective factors rather than to ourselves. It seems that we are likely to complain that our genius is unrecognised. As is often the case, our talent is not as much as we think.
So what can be credited for our failure? The answer is clear : We, ourselves. Right! It's our endeavour, diligent and determination that play an important role in our process of reading success. There are many examples can illustrate its validity. Einstein, Newton and Bill Gates, all of which have a history of struggles.
In a word, when we fail, we should find the cause from oueselves rather than others.
