Keep Your Direction
Guidance for Reciting
If you fail to plan，you plan to fail. Success is not accident！It doesn't just magically happen. You have to plan for it to happen. So why not start living your life on purpose？
What would you do if you failed？Many people may choose to give up. However，the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.
On your way to success，you must keep your direction. It is just like a lamp，guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way. Otherwise，you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.
Direction means objectives. You can get nowhere without an objective in life.
You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. In this way，you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.

坚持你的方向
诵读导言
如果你不能制订计划，你就在计划失败。成功不是偶然！不会神奇地出现。为了成功，你必须制订计划。你为什么不现在就过上有目标的生活呢？
如果失败了你会怎么做？很多人可能会选择放弃。然而，要想成功，最可靠的方法就是坚持你的方向和目标。
在通往成功的路上，你必须坚持你的方向。它就像一盏灯，在黑暗中为你指路，帮助你渡过难关。否则，你很容易就会迷失方向或犹豫不前。
方向意味着目标。人生如果没有目标，将一事无成。
你可以试着把你的目标写在纸上，并制定实现目标的计划。这样，你就会懂得如何合理安排时间，如何正确地支配时间。而且你还要有这样的信念：只要你一直坚持自己的方向，你就一定可以成功。
口语点津
这里我们注意一下“choose to”这个短语，虽然它的基本义是“选择”，但是我们在说主观决定时，都可以用它，因为决定是选择的结果嘛。比如，“我决定不理她的警告”，就可以说成“I chose to ignore her warning.”再如，“他决定晚些时候才回家”怎么说？对，就是“He chose not to go home until later.”是不是比用“decide”更地道？
