9.Most times,what people accept as hope is a feeling or thought that something desired may happen.The word hope is a guarantee(保證)of happiness without a doubt.Hope in ancient Greek is"elpis"meaning"to expect or look forward with pleasure".Orison Swett Marden says"there is no medicine as great and powerful expectation of something better tomorrow."
Samuel Esson Jonah is one of the world's most influential personalities of this century.When he was young,mining for Africans was hell on earth,because they were treated very badly and there were no key positions in the industry for them because it was believed that the black could not manage their affairs successfully.Even in the face of all these challenges and discriminations,Jonah hoped to head the idustry someday.When he told his workmates and parents about his hope,he became a laughing stock.Not giving up on his hope,he worked hard toward it and at last he became president of Anglo Gold Ashanti.
Hope without doubt helps you to work hard until you finally achieve your aims or goals.Hope keeps one alive and also helps us persevere (堅持) to succeed.Someone may say"I've tried and failed everal times".As a matter of fact,failure is unavoidable sometimes but that doesn't deny(否認)your ability to succeed.The key is that you can't give up your hope.Our hitory has seen many great achievers.Though they hoped they could make it,they also failed; however,they didn't give up on their hope.They worked even harder and eventually succeeded.
Today when we can celebrate so many of them for their courage,remember"faith without work is dead",so is your dream or hope.Samuel Similes says"Hope is the companion(伙伴) of power,the mother of success,for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles (奇跡)."So don't let your hope down.
