  On  Perseverance1
  Behind every great achievement in anyone's life lies perseverance. We see this in every human endeavour. Outstanding sportsmen spend all their time practising. Their endurance is beyond imagination. The same is true of businessmen who build up fortunes. What we usually see are their achievements, but once we go behind the scenes we will find that they have put in a lot of continual steady efforts. We all have read of greatmusicians, writers and inventors who have created or discovered breakthroughs in human achievement.Invariably they have said that they owe all their success to perseverance. As to college students, quite a big number of them have become successful language learners through perseverance, however, a certain group of them just stop half way and their previous efforts turn out to be fruitless.
  Of all the countless2 examples the saga3 of Colonel Saunders is perhaps one of the most outstanding. The 65-year-old than from Kentucky had a dream to start a chain of fried chicken restaurants all over the world. To realize his dream, he knew that he needed a restaurant owner to go into partnership4 with him to open the first restaurant andto fry chicken according to the secret recipe he had. Colonel Saunders had knocked on 1008 doors before he finally found his partner. It is doubtful whether many of us would have had the perseverance to knock even a hundred doors.
  From the above discussion we can draw a conclusion that success comes to anyone Who keeps working perseveringly5 and lack of perseverance can only result in frustration6 and failure.
