　　We Should Face Challenges Bravely

　　Life itself consists of a series of challenges, whether large or small. When faced with these challenges, we should knock them back with the attitude that “you cannot change what you refuse to confront.”

　　Thomas Edison is a good case in point to illustrate the importance of facing challenges with perseverance³. He had done a lot of experiments before the first long-lasting light bulb came into being. Among those experiments, there were thousands times of failure. If he had chosen to give up, he wouldn’t have brought so many revolutionary inventions to the world. His life is the best evidence to prove that accepting challenges and triumphing⁴ over difficulties are what life is all about.

　　As for myself, I still remember the first time I learned⁵ to ride a bicycle when I was eight. My father kept his hands on the back of the bicycle to help me. I often fell to the ground when he let it go. It was painful but after I tried again and again I finally made it. Life resembles the process of mountain climbing. People who avoid challenges and take the easy route will gradually descend⁶ into the valleys. So we need to keep on climbing despite the twists and turns, until we eventually conquer⁷ the highest mountain and see the most beautiful view.
