Noting Succeeds Without a Strong Will
“Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will” is accumulated experience we inherited from our forefathers. It stands to reason that persistence is vital to success; nevertheless， one’s end can never be accomplished with the lacking firmness of will.
A case in point is the quitting of smoking. On the eve of the World No-Tobacco Day this year， the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Public Health advocated that campus smoking-control intervention should be the forerunner of the nationwide smoking-control efforts， which， undoubtedly， has motivated the campaign of “Smoking-free School” that has been sweeping the whole of China. In the advance of the movement， the humorous saying has acquired a proverbial currency， “Quitting smoking is the easiest thing world. I’ve done it hundreds of time.” Obviously， wanting in perseverance， these smokers will never fulfill their purposes.
From what have been discussed above， we can reasonably come to the conclusion that only those tough-minded people can reach the summit. Otherwise， even if you have tried hundreds of times， you are still at the foot of the mountain， admiring those successful climbers.
