有一个水兵曾问海军上将：“当希望破灭时，我们该怎么办？”上将的回答如同一把灼热的利剑：“继续航行！”的确，面对挫折，如果你就此放弃，那么你就已经输掉了比赛；但如果你选择继续前行，哪怕前路漫漫，只要意志不灭，保持坚韧不拔的精神，你终将赢得胜利。

A sailor once asked an admiral, "What should we do when hope is lost?" The admiral's reply was like a glowing red sword: "Keep sailing!" Indeed, when faced with setbacks, if you give up, you have already lost; but if you choose to press on, no matter how long the journey may be, as long as your will remains unbroken and you maintain your perseverance, you will eventually emerge victorious.
