No pains, no gains Dear boys and girls, Good afternoon! Have you ever heard of a saying:no pains,no gains?(Yes!) But do you know its meaning? It tells us if we want to achieve the goal,we must work hard .Because nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it. J.K.Rowling , a great writer, is a practitioner of this saying.She is honored with the name “Mother” of Harry Potter because of her great success in writing Harry Potter. Before she finished these books,she was just a poor teacher. she was too poor to use electrisity appliances to get warm,and her house is very small and broken, The cold wind always blow into her house from the hole in the wall.so,she had to write these books in a shop next to her home.And after she finished her first book,even none would like to publish it.But she didn’t give up.She tried again and again. her book was published at last. there is no doubt that she was successful.becanse her hard work. Edison,one of the greatest inventors in the world,was famous for inventing the bulbs.But do you know how many tests he did before he succeeded? One thonsand times! He had his own dream,he wanted to bring the light to the world,and he worked hard for it,although he was deaf. These stories tell us if you have a dream, you should make much effort to realize it. It is not important whether we succeed in the end or not ,the most important thing is if we do our best.Just as a saying goes, It’s not whether you win or lose ,it’s how you play the game My friends! We are in grade 9 this year!All of us have our goals. And I think each of us wants to get good grades in next year's entrance examination.So,don’t be scared of hard work anymore.No matter whether you do well in study or not. Don’t give up.please believe in working hard.Let’s keep trying!Because no pains, no gains! Thank you for your listening!
