When I was young, I loved to read stories of successful people.They never failed to encourage me.And from all of them, I always find one
common thing—grit(坚毅).
So, what's grit? It's the courage and resolution to fight for your goals no matter how many difficulties there are.Li Bai from the Tang Dynasty learnt the importance of grit from an old woman sharpening(磨) a needle.He finally became successful.
Personally, developing the power of grit also led to successes in my life.People around me all know I enjoy singing and public speaking.Yet when I was a little girl, my vocal cords(声带) got badly hurt and I couldn't pronounce words properly.Teachers told me not to develop my hobby in areas that require the use of my voice.But I wanted to have a try.
So, with courage and resolution, I worked hard to fight against the difficulty.I worked hard to go through treatments and training.After several hard years, my voice slowly resumed to normal and I could take part in all kinds of activities, including musical performances and public speaking.My voice plays an important part in these activities.Most of my achievements are connected to such activities.
Grit has helped me overcome difficulties and led me on the way to achieving my goals.This makes me believe in something that I hope you can also believe in.It is the power of grit.Unlike any other talent, it is something that everyone can have.It is the key to creating new miracles(奇迹) in our life.
