范文：
Success is always described by the old as something relevant to patience. In the picture, a man sits with a dozen of clocks around him. Beside is the subtitle saying that “success means persisting five minutes more than others”. We can infer from it that the man sets these many clocks just to remind himself that he should never give up.
It is very true that success derives from persistence, for which there are several reasons. Firstly, no accomplishment can be achieved in a short time, and success asks for continuous industrious work and efforts. Secondly, when one is able to insist in stepping towards achievement, he must believe what he dedicates to. This belief is the source of persistence that paves the way to success. Thirdly, just as the saying goes, “Rome was not built in one day”, success is founded on the basis of patient pursuit that can never be impeded by temporary failures.
To conclude, I would like to borrow another ancient saying that “He laughs best who laughs last”. Laughing symbolizes the confidence for success, and confidence always yields patience and insistence. Hence, I firmly believe that if everybody applies what the picture conveys into actual practice, they will surely reap lot more.
译文：
老人们总说成功和耐心是联系在一起的。正如这幅图所显示的那样，一个男人坐在椅子上，身边围绕着许多的钟。旁边的标题上写着“成功就是比别人多坚持五分钟”。我们可以从这幅图中推断出，这个人摆了这么多闹钟就是为了提醒自己不要轻易地放弃。
确实，成功来源于坚持，关于这一点有以下几点原因。第一，没有任何成就是可以在短时间内达到的，而是需要持续的勤奋工作和努力。第二，当一个人能够坚持走到成功的一步的时候，他一定是坚信自己为之奋斗的东西的。信念是坚持不懈的动力源泉，能够为人们的成功铺平道路。第三，正如古语所云：“冰冻三尺，非一日之寒”，成功是建立在耐心追求的基础上，在追求的过程中不会被暂时的失败打倒。
我将用另一句古语来总结这篇文章，即“笑到最后的人笑得最好”。笑意味着对成功充满信心，信心总是能够使人们耐心地坚持。因此，我坚信如果每一人都能够把图中传达的精神落实到实际中，他们一定能够收获更多。
