'Never say die' is my motto. And I always live up to it.
Since I was young, I enjoyed playing chess. It was my hobby. I have a passion for it and it is also my way of learning. At first, I always lost in the game. Not just to a stronger opponent, but to those who were not as skillful as me. I lost my patience even though a game was not yet over. I would simply give up whenever I was in a more unfavourable position. After suffering several defeats, I realized that if I wish to be a good chess player, besides skills, I must always stay calm and be patient. Since then, I do not easily surrender. I become mentally strong. I keep on trying even when there seems to be no hope at all. And from then on, I always win in the game. Knowing that one will never succeed if he or she submits too easily, I always fight to the bitter end, not just on the chessboard, but in the flesh. This 'never give up’ spirit does help me a lot. It shapes the life I lead and makes me become a persistent fellow. It also provides me with strength, stamina and the courage to face the difficulties of today and tomorrow.
Until one day, I came across Napoleon’s words. 'Victory', said the great general who subdued most of Europe in the 19th century, 'belongs to the most persevering.' Ha, that is true. Truth is always green. Though the thought was such a long time ago, it still remains valid today. And I strongly believe that if we wish to accomplish great success in life, ‘never say die’ is an essential element that we should possess.
