OPTIMISM HELPED US PERSEVERE(坚持)

Left behind, we watched as Shackleton and the boat sailed away from Elephant Island. The danger of what lay ahead of them, the chances of them ever returning to find us, the fear that we might never know their fate and possible delays, at first made us feel low and discouraged. But it was not for long. There was nothing like a good dinner of penguin(企鹅) and some dynamic music to make a man feel more cheerful again.

Life now fell into a regular pattern. Just keeping alive took all our time and energy. For example, we had to gather fresh water by grasping and then melting sea-ice. If this drinking But melting the ice was a problem. With no trees growing on Antarctica and no oil, the only fuel we could use was seal fat. This gave off oily, black smoke but had he advantage of burning strongly in fierce winds. We could also eat the remains when the fire died down.

Food was also a problem as there were no vegetables or fruit to be found. As one of’ our group, Lionel Greenstreet noted in his diary after a few weeks how bored he was with the meals: “The food now is pretty well all meat -- seal steaks, cooked seal, penguin steaks, cooked penguin liver.” As a chef, it was my duty to clean and cook these animals, so I was soon being encouraged to vary the meals in whatever way I could. It was difficult.

We had to be very particular about our personal care because a changeable temperature could harm us. It was almost as dangerous to become too hot from wearing too many clothes as to become too cold from wearing too few. Becoming too hot led to sweating and this could freeze very quickly. Another part of the body that needed special caution was the eyes. The ice and snow reflected dangerous rays from the sun so that if we did not wear sunglasses we would suffer from sun-blindness.

Four months of this was as much as the twenty-two of us could bear in this bone-numbing cold. We were lucky that our group wolf worked hard to show an admirable mental attitude and dealt with our ever-present fears in a positive and successful way. Above all, Shackleton encouraged us to have celebrations: for birthdays, festivals or even just because of a good catch of penguin. This kept us cheerful and encouraged harmony in the group.

When rescue did come, we felt such relief and joy that many of us could not hide our tears. We were at last free to go home to a warm bed, good food and the care of our family and friends. Our optimism and faith in Shackleton had helped us persevere in staying alive and he had repaid us by his commitment to return and save us from a slow but painful death.

[1]Each of our experiences has impact on us, either in a positive way or a negative way. Negative experiences can leave us troubled and disillusioned（幻想破灭的）；however, positive experiences can greatly improve our optimism and daily motivation, which is the fuel that drives us to improve our lives and achieve our goals. Here are some ways to increase your daily motivation so you can achieve more in your life:

[2]Having goals is vital. They are the key motivators that drive you to succeed. A life without goals is like a boat without a rudder drifting with no direction and no end destination. Meaningful goals motivate you to take inspiring action toward achieving what you desire and keep you focused and driven when you come across challenges and difficulties. When setting any goal, it is very important however, to take small progressive steps toward achieving it.         small steps will prevent you becoming overwhelmed（不知所措的）and help you maintain a positive attitude to keep you moving forward.

[3]A positive attitude will help keep you motivated to continually move forward toward your goal while a negative attitude will damage any chance of success. If you believe that your goal is too difficult and that you won’t achieve it, then I can say for certain that you will be right. Your mind is extremely powerful, and you’d be a fool to underestimate it. Feed it with positive thoughts and it will grant you whatever you want.

[4]We’ve all been given the greatest gift of all…and that’s the gift of life! None of us will be on this planet forever, so is there a greater motivation than living life to the full and getting the very most out of every day?

[5]Having daily inspiration to live life to the full and achieve all we can is what none of us should pass up. If you want to become what you’ve always wanted to be then you have to do whatever it takes to make it happen.
