Belief

  One of my dorm mates is keen on losing weight. Every day she will exercise for at least one hour, skipping the rope or jogging. She obey the principles that can make her thin, for instance, she never take a nap after the lunch, because she think to sleep right after eating will gain weight easily. One day, after she exercised she told us that she had run for fifty minutes without stopping. Moreover she has been doing these things since she came here, and never gives up. I totally admire her determination and perseverance and I think her spiritual support is the belief to become thin and beautiful.

  Belief is an abstract thing that we cannot see or touch, but it is the only thing that can make us hold on firmly. I have ever seen a passage on some researches that many people investigated the survivals in the natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods. Although the cases were different to some extent, there is one thing that all of the survivals have in common, that is belief. In that desperate condition, every victim is hopeless; what they can do is just to wait for rescue. It is the belief that can give their hope and strength. Some people felt it is a little hope that they can survive, so they were always thinking that they are going to die; while the survivals have strong beliefs that they must live. The power of belief can support them to hold on until the rescues arrive. Moreover, many miracles are made because of belief, some victims are found alive ten days or longer after the disasters happen. And there are quite a few examples that belief makes a difference. This is a true story. Someone was diagnosed as cancer first, but he believed in that he could not die. He just travelled to everywhere he dreamed to go and enjoyed his life. The cancer cells became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.

  In my senior high school, the pressure of study was quite heavy and sometimes I was fed up with study. But whenever I thought up my belief that I must enter into the best universities in China, I would forget about my sorrow and bitter in study and hold on. Thus, I think belief is quite important to a person. If you do not have a belief in your heart, it is easy for you to give up when you have obstacles. But if you have, the entire world will make way for you!
