Nick and his friends were talking about things that could bring them luck.“I have a lucky red pen,” said Andy.“I have a lucky coin,” said Peter.“Every time I take a test, I carry my lucky coin.” Nick thought for a moment, and said, “My blue socks.” “Blue socks?” the boys were surprised and asked together. Nick said that every time he wore his blue socks to school before a test, he got a good mark.

The next day Nick had a Chinese test. He was sad because he couldn't find his blue socks.“Mom!” shouted Nick.“Where are my blue socks? I have a Chinese test today, and I need to wear them.”

“Don't be silly,” Nick's mom said.“They need to be washed.” “When I wear them, I get a good grade,” Nick said.

“Did you prepare for your test?” asked Mom.

“Yes.”

“Then don't worry about it.Just do your best,” Mom encouraged.

A few days later, Nick's teacher told him that he got 95 in his test. Nick was so excited that he couldn't wait to tell Mom he did well in his test. Mom said, “It wasn't the blue socks that made you successful. In fact, it was made by yourself.”

Every student wants to be successful, but not everyone knows how to make success. At least, the idea is there, but they would not dare. They are afraid to fail. Too afraid to grow.

★ No success without failure. Success is not just getting something you do. It’s a learning process, a process of rise and fall. That makes it so interesting, because without fall, there will something to celebrate your success.

★ Continue to grow. Some people do not succeed ________ they don’t want to change anything around them. They did not dare to step out because they fear the feeling of others. So they do not catch the chances of success with both hands nothing. Unless you try, you’ll never be successful. Where there is a will, there is a way.

★ Invest (投资) in your brain. You can use the Internet, library, or museum for ideas, but an idea often fails as it directly comes from you. Someone else can tell you a good idea. But the idea is from someone else. Think about it with your brain, you’ll find the correct way.
