雅思大作文范文：
Success is achieved by those who try and keep trying with a positive mental attitude becausenothing on earth can help those with a negative mental attitude. In general, successfulpersons are opportunity-minded rather than difficulty-minded. That is to say, the pessimistsees difficulty in every opportunity; the optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.
Any fact facing us is often not as important as our attitude toward it, for that can determineour success or failure. The pessimist would visualize penalties of failure whereas the optimistwould visualize the rewards of success. It might be true sometimes that people tried hard half-way and failed miserably, from which a lesson is learned that they should not have tried at all inthe first place. Thus, after one failure, they are disappointed and discouraged, refusing tobelieve that the road to success is under construction. Since pessimists are afraid to fail, theyare not likely to experience the joys of success. More often than not, this wrong mentalattitude, or rather the fear of striking out, may hold them back.
It is certainly not the optimist's attitude toward success--always being ready as anopportunity comes. People with the right mental attitude are never scared by going too far,and they are convinced that success lies just beyond. True enough, it is not that optimistsbecome winners without encountering real problems, but that they are willing to do do whatlosers are not willing to do. In other words, optimists choose to step forward, as if it wereimpossible to fail; but pessimists are always in the same place. Therefore, both attitudes tell asuccess and a failure apart. In all likelihood, success is like the child of optimism.
It pays to assume that opportunity may be in the middle of difficulty, or at least this is whatthe optimist is inclined to believe. Indeed, success of life depends upon keeping one's mindopen to opportunity and seizing it when it comes. After all, optimists are right in believing whatthey can do and succeed; so are pessimists who think they would fail anyway.
