I rememberThomas HoodI remember, I rememberThe house where I was born,The little window where the sunCame peeping in at morn;He never came a wink too soonNor brought too long a day;But now, I often wish the nightHad borne my breath away.I remember, I rememberThe roses, red and white,The violets, and the lily-cups―Those flowers made of light!The lilacs where the robin built,And where my brother setThe laburnum on his birthday,―The tree is living yet!I remember, I rememberWhere I was used to swing,And thought the air must rush as freshTo swallows on the wing;My spirit flew in feathers thenThat is so heavy now,And summer pools could hardly coolThe fever on my brow.I remember, I rememberThe fir-trees dark and high;I used to think their slender topsWere close against the sky:It was a childish ignorance,But now ’tis little joyTo know I’m farther off from HeavenThan when I was a boy.

It tells us that if you want to be somebody,you have to work a little bit harder and cleverer than others,no matter what had happened to you.A difficult assignment,a hard-hearted boss or your strict parents,you not only can finish your task completely but also do a little more to go beyond their imaginations.If you insist in thinking your study or work diffently and thoroughly,someday you could be more successful than you've ever expected.
