Learning is a continuous process of life.We all learn from 1 things in life.One of the things that 2 me recently is what I learned from turtles(海龟).
Turtles could teach a vast number of people a lot about reaching goals. 3 ,have you ever watched a turtle making its way to a stream?The turtle 4 where it is going;in other words,it has set a goal.Many people 5 go through life with no specific goal in mind.They seem to weave back and forth because their life direction seems to 6 in relation to whatever influences them at that time.
Turtles,on the other hand,have a goal in mind easily 7 if you take time to watch them.The turtle has only one 8 .No matter how long it 9 them,they will do everything they can to reach their goal.
10 ,the turtle may be slow. 11 the turtle keeps going.Each step they take,no matter how small,they keep taking it 12 to their destination.The turtle never 13 a step or breaks into a run.The reason is that turtles have a better sense of the 14 of taking small steps over and over again to reach the final victory.
The 15 thing about turtles is that they have a hard shell.The significance of this shell is to help them 16 themselves from anything that may attack them.And,as the turtles taught me,we also need to develop a hard shell against those that would want us to 17 .
Finally,the turtle told me that the greatest characteristic to possess in reaching a goal is 18 .No matter what the obstacle(障碍)is,there is a(n) 19 around it.No matter how many times one is 20 by negativity there is strength in conviction(坚定的信念).
