Each of us has dreams and goals for our future.What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.
But why do you have dreams and goals，you still end up with nothing？What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent （锲而不舍的） action.When you learn your lessons in school，you must work hard and not give up.You will often find some of your lessons very hard.Try and keep trying，and you'll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with.If we have a hard lesson today，let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
This is the famous formula（公式） for success：
Dream ＞ Believe ＞ Achieve
Most people have what they want （Dream） and think they can realize their dreams （Believe）.And then they do nothing.They just imagine their dreams can come true.When they get tired waiting and lose a lot，they get bored.They say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life，you have to add one thing to your success formula：
Dream ＞ Believe ＞ Act ＞ Achieve
For me，act is the most important thing for success and that's to Take Persistent Action （Act）.If you say， "I can't do it" and give up，you can never do anything valuable.However， "I'll try" creates wonders.Let's remember that there will be obstacles in our life.We must face them bravely and solve them.Success is not something that falls down from the sky.Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember：Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.

Mr Guo is a teacher from Xi'an．He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code （二维码）．"We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate （使产生） the codes，and in the end everything gets easier，"said Guo．"When students finish the homework，they keep it on WeChat （微信）．Then，each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me．So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone．"

Bike﹣sharing has swept across China，with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding instead of driving．The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it，and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public．Bike﹣sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily．
In some cities，we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing﹣bikes．It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone．First，you have to download such an APP on your smart phone．Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP，scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection．You will find the bike can be unlocked itself．Then you can enjoy your trip．What's more，the greatest advantage of bike﹣sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it．The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend．Normally，every hour you ride，you need to pay one yuan．It doesn't cost so much，does it？
At the same time，some people park the bikes in their own homes．Besides，some people don't value the bikes．Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen．
