one of the most important things to success is a firm resolution. a great man is always one who has a firm resolution and an inflexible spirit. one will never succeed all his life without a firm will to get the final victory. as a rule , great tasks are accomplished by men of strong will. for example, dr. sun yatsen, the founder of the republic of china, set the chinese people free from the manchurian rule through a long period of hard struggle.

　　many of his attempts failed and many of his followers were killed, but he had an inflexible spirit and stuck to his cause. finally, he made the revolution of 1911 a success. a student who has no resolution will never succeed in his studies. the same is true of men in all walks of life. we must have a firm resolution first, if we wish to succeed. we must always remember the old saying that where there is a will, there is a way.
