Good morning everybody!It's my honor to speak here,and I am very glad to share my topic with you. Then today I'd like to talk something about What we cannot afford to lose! During our lifetime we will meet wlth all kinds of difficulties,and most peple will feel depressed and then give up,while only a few people are able to adhere to the end .in my opinion ,to some degree, perseverance：[,p?:si'vi?r?ns] is one of most important things we should cherish ,which will finally contribute to our success. There is a story I have ever read that In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roeblingwas inspired to build a spectacular：
[spek't?kjul? [壮观的'] bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However bridge-building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea.but Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. After much discussion the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles[障碍] could be overcome. They hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well, but a few months later a tragic accident made Washington injured, unable to walk or talkor even move.
In spite of his handicap：['h?ndik?p] [身体的不便] ,Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever. Finally the bridge was completed 13 years later .
Today the spectacular Brooklyn布鲁克林Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute：['tribju:t] to the triumph ['trai?mf] 成功of one man's indomitable：[in'd?mit?bl] [不屈不挠的] spirit and his determination[坚定] not to be defeated by circumstances.
After I read the story I realized that perseverance is much more important than many other things , And those who are optimistic and self-confident, and who enjoy doing something new, worry less about failure are the example we should learn from.
We need to appreciate the value in living, despite its many setbacks. Roads are for the journey, not the destination. Sunshine awaits those who keep the path!
