The first seeing-eye dog was a German shepherd (牧羊犬) named Buddy. In Switzerland, Buddys owner, Mrs. Dorothy, was at first training dogs of the German shepherd brought up for police work and saving people from dangers. Then in 1927, she wrote an article for the Saturday Evening Post about dogs being trained in Germany to help blind war veterans (老兵). Morris frank, a young blind American, heard about the article and wrote to Mrs. Dorothy to ask if there was such a dog to help him. That letter led Frank spend five weeks in Switzerland learning to be guided by Buddy. Buddy was with Frank when he returned to the United States.

A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion , the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up. One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel disappointed and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail , we will not be able to develop new skills and grow. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not , we will learn something , and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Furthermore, if we give up , we have no chance of attaining our goals any more , but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.Topic: Never Give UpPossible meanings and the authors opinions The words “ Never give up” can_1_ others or oneself and express ones determination.
