Different students take different attitudes to failure.Some fall in low spirits when they dont do well in

54、 the exams. They usually lose heart and no longer study as hard as before. But most students take an active attitude towards failure. They encourage themselves to be selfconfident. They analyze and find out the causes so that they will no longer make similar mistakes. I agree with those with active attitudes. As we all know，failure is the mother of success. Even great men may have failed many times before they succeeded. So in my opinion，its not important whether we succeed or not. What matters much is what attitudes we should take. We must deal with our failure correctly.版权所有：高考资源网()
