“ Life is not easy for any of us. We must work, and above all we must believe in ourselves. We must believe that each one of us is able to do something well, and that, when we discover what this something is, we must work until we succeed.” ---- Madame Curie.

As a great scientist who has won the Nobel Prize twice in her whole life, words of wisdom delivered by Madame Curie are really of value. Also it is convincing from my friends Mary's experience.

It was last Friday when we got the math problem assigned by our teacher. Since most of us considered it beyond our power, I gave it up without second thoughts. However Mary refused to say ?no? so easily. She made up her mind to accept the challenge. Try as she might, the math problem seemed to be such a tough stone that nobody could move it. But Mary held the firm belief that she could break it through. Finally, to our surprise, she made it after another two days of hard work.

Mary?s experience again proves Madame Curie?s words: We must believe in ourselves and work until we succeed. It is one?s will power and passions that matters most with which we can bravely pursue our dream.

As we all know, Madam Curie succeeded because of perseverance. What was the key? Just as she said “we must work until we succeed”, with which I can?t agree more. My father?s experience might help illustrate.

Originally, my father, an engineer, worked in a company where there was no access to improving the way of producing to a more efficient one. Then, one year, he switched to another company in another city to realize his dream. Difficult and challenging as his work was, he managed to develop a better assembly line to produce. Afterwards, every time I saw him, he seemed to be thinner, but the sense of achievement made him look younger.

In bloom of youth, we are on the point to see our life unfold. It?s time we asked ourselves what dreams we are going to pursue and go out of our way for them. My father?s choice has confirmed me of the belief that we must work until we succeed, just as Madam Curie said.

Madame Curie

Madame Curie was one of

the greatest scientists in the world. She was born on 7th

November 1867 in Warsaw,

and died on 4th July 1934.

She first lived in Poland,

then went to France.

When she was very young

she was interested in

science. At that time women

were not admitted to

universities in Poland, so she went to Paris University and studied there.

In 1895, she married Pierre curie, a very bright scientist, and then they worked together on the

research into radioactive matter.

They worked very hard and

discovered the element radium,

then they got the Nobel Prizes in

1903. In 1906, Pierre died. Marie

was deeply shocked by Pierre's

death but determined to go on

working. Later, she won the

Nobel Prizes again in 1911. She

was the first female professor at

Paris University, and she also

became the first scientist in the world to win two Nobel Prizes.

Madame Curie was a successful woman. She is intelligent, brave, strong-minded and never gives up. There are many books and films about her now. She

also wrote a biography for herself. We should learn from her and try to be a successful people.
