湖北省荆州市监利县第一中学高中英语 优秀作文选 Part I 成功要素篇12

12. Ideals are like the stars ---- we never reach them, but like mariners, we chart our course by them. (理想)

An ideal is of vital imp ortance to one's growth and success. Living without an ideal is like sailing without a compass. In an attempt to achieve their ideals, everyone spares no effort to develop their potentials.

Nick Vajicic, an Australian, without arms and legs by birth, is the very p erson I've been admiring. Disabled as he is, being an normal person is what he has been longing for. With the sweet dream in his heart, he is trying to learn to swim, to play golf, to walk and dress himself. What amazes and inspires me most is that he is keen on delivering speeches. He has been i nvited to make lectures all over the world a nd is regarded as a lecture master. With his encouragement, more disabled are more confident to open up their minds and purse their dreams act ively.

It's ev ident that Nick's success results from his great ideal, determination and perse verance. It's his ideal that guides and inspires him constantly. As a result, no matter what difficulties are waiting for us on our way to success, only if we stick to our ideals can we pull th rou gh and achieve our dr eams.
