Harland went through many failures before he had to retire.However，he didn't give up but started a new business with his retirement  check，which turned out to be a huge success at last.

I think the story has properly interpreted the old saying，“Success belongs to the persevering.”

Five years ago，my father had a similar experience. He began to study Japanese because he wanted to go to Japan for Chiropractic Seminars.Not having enough time，he had to teach himself Japanese.During this period，he often got up at 5：30 and went to bed at 00：30.Every day，besides regular work，he buried himself in learning Japanese.Many times，he nearly gave up this boring and painful task but finally he persevered and was rewarded with a good score：98 out of 100 in the JapaneseLanguage Proficiency Test.

Indeed，perseverance is the key to success because it provides us with powerful energy to overcome difficulties at any time.
