The hot and humid summer has gone and autumn will come before I know it. Autumn is just around the corner. How was your summer vacation? Maybe you did something that you planned to do but did your effort during the vacation come to naught? Don’t worry about it!

September is the start of a new semester. Brush away lingering attachment for bygones and then look at the blue autumn sky. The high and blue sky makes our heart blue-colored and dye the spirit restful. It is also a good way to arrange lively memory from summer by calm from autumn.

Calm yourself and think of something that you plan to do. If you feel somewhat frustrated before, although you could not realize the fruits of yourefforts, you must try something else. Because it is clearly different for you before and after in the respect of challenge.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he has givien. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Don’t worry about failures and challenges for success!
