Answer 1

It is universally known that opportunity is important, but you could not seize it without being equipped with competitive forces, with which you could approach success.

One year ago, I studied in a high school and whenever I failed an exam, I felt frustrated and thought it was a bad luck that contributed to my failure. At that time, when my father asked me whether I had prepared for the exam and mastered the basic knowledge or not, I felt ashamed and couldn’t say a single word. From then on, I grasped every chance to learn how to make good use of my study resource. With the improving on basic reading and calculating skills, I succeeded in the College Entrance Exam.

Only then did I realize how important it was to make a full preparation.
