We've all met with something that slows us down, for example, the bump(颠簸)in the road,the setback. You just have to keep in mind that a setback is only temporary and greater things lie ahead. Therefore, keep moving forward, developing what you have, since you've already built a solid foundation on which you can rely.

It is easy just to quit,give up and ignore the hard work you have put into something. But we believe in the “two steps forward, one step back” philosophy (哲学). So how can you react when something doesn't turn out as you've expected it to be?

First,be objective. Step back and look at the situation. Is your setback really that significant,or will it just require a little extra effort? Then, plan your next move. You can ask for help. Don't be afraid or ashamed to do this. Frequently, people are more than willing to give you support and advice.You don't have to be perfect; after all, nobody else is. Next, bounce back. Reevaluate the goals you have set for yourself at the beginning and retool(改组) them as necessary. Goals should be realistic and specific, but that doesn't mean they can't be flexible. Instead of looking at your project as a disaster or a failure, view it with success. Concentrate on how great it will feel after it is finally done, after you have put your all into it. Instead of focusing on a possible unsatisfactory performance one single time, take a moment to sit back and reward yourself for all that you have accomplished.

Above all,don't live with regrets. Success is never easy. It remains up to you whether you will give up, or fight through the tough battles to earn whatever you want. Keep reaching for your goals and you will achieve them. One small setback is nothing if you really want something and are willing to work for it.

  My first performance in front of the audience was coming up soon.

  I tried as hard as I could to remain calm, but my heart was racing.I stared down at my sweat-covered, shaking hands.

  I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were real people.They were not just my mum and dad, who would say, “Good job!” even if I messed up the entire piece.

  What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?

  As it turned out, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight(聚光灯)was waiting for me.I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.

  Slowly I walked to the mud-brown piano in the center of the room.It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played.I swallowed the golf-ball-sized lump(隆起部分)in my throat and sat down.Slowly, I opened the music.Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory(象牙色的)keys.

  As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more unsure of my preparation for this moment.But the memory of my years of training came flooding back.I knew that I had practiced this piece so many times that I could play it backwards if requested.

  Although at one point I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically(自动地).

  My eyes burned holes into(were fixed on)the pages in front of me.

  There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration.To keep this to myself, I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music.

  When I came to the end of the page, a warning went off inside my head:DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE!

  Needless to say, I obeyed myself with all my heart and mind.And, proud of my “page-turning” feat(技艺), I finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake.

  After the final note died away, a celebration went into action inside my head.I had finished.I had mastered the impossible.
