范文：

　　What emerges into our eyes is that there are two young men standing on the stairs of the mountain. The most impressive element is that in the right place crouches a seemingly exhausted adult with a depressed look and a few words,such as “I am tired and I want to give up.”while in the left counterpart stands an energetic adult,who is smiling to his company and passionately encouraging him to continue with the words “Don’t do that and we will reach the end with a simple rest”.

　　In the real life, there is no one who can achieve the remarkable success in whatever he does without persistence. I can come up with no better illustration than the example of Thomas Edison, a distinguished scientist, who contributes his success to endless pursuing news goals. Just as he puts it, “Without continuous insistence of the conduct of experiments, I will not be so fortunate to have such a successful performance.” Apart from the example of Edison, many other great figures in the history also attributed their success to continuous pursuing something more meaningful in their lives.

　　Therefore, as a qualified young people living in modern society, I value persistence as a vital principle in my lives and I am determined to insist on this point in daily life and make full use of the positive effect achieved by persistence.
