In our daily life, we often face many difficulties. Some people give up easily when they meet problems, but others keep going and finally succeed. I think the key to success is "perseverance". Because only those who never give up can reach their goals.

I remember that last year I joined a school English speaking competition. At first, I was very nervous. I couldn't speak clearly or confidently. Many of my classmates were better than me. But I didn't want to give up. I practiced every day after class. I listened to English radio programs, watched English movies, and repeated the sentences again and again. Sometimes I felt tired, but I kept on.

After several weeks of hard work, I became more confident. On the day of the competition, I stood on the stage with a calm heart. I spoke clearly and fluently. Although I didn’t win the first prize, I got a good grade and received praise from my teacher and classmates. This experience taught me a valuable lesson: no matter how difficult the road is, if you keep trying, you will eventually succeed.

In conclusion, perseverance is very important in life. It helps us overcome challenges and achieve our dreams. So let's always believe in ourselves and never give up. Because "perseverance leads to victory."
