An American woman swimmer Chadwick succeeded in crossing the Catalina Channel after failing in her first attempt. It was a goal in her mind that enabled her to make it. (30词)Chadwick failed in her first attempt because she couldn't see the “land” (goal) due to the “fog” (difficulty). But later, she succeeded because she had “the goal rooted in her mind” despite the heavy “fog”. From the story, we know we should understand the relation beeen the goal and the difficulty. The goal can encourage us to work hard to achieve success while the difficulty may prevent us from reaching our goal. However, we can achieve our goal by overing any possible difficulties. As students, we may meet with many difficulties in our study, but we can surely overe them if we have a clear goal. I wish all of us could break through the “fog” to reach the beautiful “land”.
