My mother taught me that success would be mainly decided by an individual's attitude towards their goals rather than his/her intelligence when I was a child. She also asked me to set goals for my life and urged me never stop working for my targets. Now, I also teach my son never give up even he fails to do something. Therefore, I strongly agree that we should keep trying and never stop working for our goals.
I do believe we should keep in mind that "Never, never give up" which is a very positive attitude for us to face the challenges and failures. It is true that most people would not achieve their goals easily. They may fail many times before they succeed. Therefore, we should keep trying through the failure experiences and keep going towards our goals set. Otherwise we will not succeed. For example, I started to learn swimming when I was a child. Although I was afraid of water, I tried my best to learn. I set a target for myself which was keep on swimming for 25m without stop. I failed many many times but my mother encouraged me to keep trying. I thought that I should try hard and never stop practising for my goals because If I gave up, then all the work done would be useless. Therefore, I kept on practising and trying for one year. At last, I succeeded and I was so happy that I could not describe in words.
All in all, the satisfaction of being success can motivate us to face another goal. So we should never give up to work for our goals in order to get this satisfaction. In other words, we can keep going to achieve our goals in our lives and keep ourselves to have improvement and progress throughout our lives. Therefore, I do think that "Never, never give up" should keep in our minds all the time. It is worth for us to keep trying and working for our goals when we look back from success.

I agree with the expression " Never, never give up". It's not necessary that we get success after first try, so we should try that thing at least once more. Let me explain my point of view.
There is always another opportunity. First time I appeared for the pre pharmacy test, I could not get through. I realized that I did not cover all the topics and I was so nervous during the exam. Lack of confidence and improper preparation were the reason of my failure. But I did not give up; next year again I appeared for the
examination. This time I got through and got admission in one of the top universities. The reason for my success was correcting my mistakes and proper preparation for the examination.
There is always another goal. After graduating, I thought of pursuing my studies in aboard. But due to financial restrains, I could not do this. I realized that only reason for studying in abroad was to pursue research. I changed my goal from doing research to helping in research. Now I am working as research assistant in a firm. I am gaining the knowledge, which I wanted.
There is always another option. Once I wanted to watch a movie. I could not go to theater for movie, due to the shortage of money. My cable operator told me that he cannot show movie on cable at least for one more week. Since I really wanted to see the movie, I went to near by rental movie shop and got the movie. So you can always look for options before giving up.
If you give up, you might not be able to succeed in your life. I think one should always look for another goal, another option, or another opportunity. I think this is the way life goes on.
