　　Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong There is an old saying: where there is a will, there is away. It tells us that a strong will is the most essential quality that anyone who wants toachieve success. It can contribute a lot to one’s success.

　　Although “All roads lead to Rome”, none of them is completely smooth. Our life is filled withobstacles which may make us feel so hopeless that we may choose to give up. At the crucialmoment, strong will helps a lot. As a matter of fact, the ability to work through difficult situationand unfortunate events with strong will can make one stronger and more capable. In otherwords, if we want to realize life’s goal, we must keep forging ahead with strong consciousness.

　　From what has been discussed above, we can see that the establishment of toughdetermination is of great importance to everyone. With a strong will, including our knowledge,we will be able to deal with any situation in our life. Whatever we do, as long as we stick to anddo not give up easily, we will realize the goal at last.

　　The Way to Success

　　"Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." And here comesour question, what is the way to success? A strong will and great efforts are the mostessential two keys to the door of success。

　　Why do people fail to achieve their goal? The reason is that most of them give up halfwaydue to their lack of a strong will once they encounter any difficulty. A man of a strong willalways sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be. Would Thomas Edison be such agreat man in history if he had done nothing but possessing a strong will? We are all familiar withhis story that he had tried one thousand kinds of materials before he finally made his greatbulb light up. Without hard effort, Edison might have been a nobody. Without efforts, no onecan succeed. To sum up, a strong will and great efforts can help one open up the way tosuccess. Where there is a will with efforts, there is a way.
