Rome wasn't built in a day

   This proverb is important in my life. When I was a child, my mother always told me, if you want to reach your  goal, you must do your best and insist on doing it. Because Rome wasn't built in a day. At that time, I cannot understand it clearly. Because I didn't have any goals, I just want to have a happy life. 
       As the time went by, I began to know what is the meaning of this sentence. When I was in my high school, we had a English speech competition. I joined in the competition and thought I can get a good rank. Because I started to learn English when I was 12. I had a lot of confidence to win the competition. I prepared the speech materials carefully, practiced every night. I let my mother sit in front of me, so when I did the practice, she can gave me some advice. Unsurprisingly, I got a good rank in the competition. I told my mother this good news and I began to know the meaning of Rome wasn't built in a day. 
        So this proverb give me a lot of encourage. I can do my best to reach my goal. Now, the most important thing for me is to get a good score in the GMAT exam. I hope I can reach this goal as soon as possible.
