本文是一篇议论文。文中讨论了对待失败的两种不同态度,最后表明作者的态度。本文的特点在于使用了很多对比句和对比词,使两种态度表现得非常鲜明,同时也增加了议论文的力度,如:everyone—noone,somepeople—someotherpeople,becomediscouraged—learnlessons,defeated—continueefforts,pessimistic—optimistic,loseheart—seehope,thosewho...—thosewho...,sympathyfor—admirationfor,beingbadlyhurt—beingstimulaedby等,值得模仿。
