英语美文：Keep Your Direction 坚持你的方向

 　What would you do if you failed? Many people may choose to give up. However, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.

　　On your way to success, you must keep your direction. It is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping¹ you overcome obstacles on your way. Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.

　　Direction means objectives³. You can get nowhere without an objective² in life.

　　You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. In this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.
