If I Rest, I Rust

"The significant inscription found on an old key--"If I rest, I rust"--would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest taint of idlenesss. Even the industrious might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust, and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.
Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gates that fuard to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture--every department of human endeavor.
Labor vanquished all--notinconstant, spasmodic, or ill--directed labor; But faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success."
(From Soup For The Soul)
I love this stroy so much, it tell us a truth that "Labor vanquished all", so I try to work hard, and try my best to do something.
This was my first time worked with Mike and Candy. I was really enjoy my new group, and we got along with each other. The pity of the presentation is I was not able to work with both of my partners simultaneously.
The topic of our presentation is "Hyperbole and understatement". I worked on poster with one of my team-mate:Candy. She is the only girl in our group. Candy is good at painting, most of the part of our poster was drown by her. Although she did not come to school on Friday, I should say:"Thanks for your contribution to our group." The theme of our poster is :Terse language, Vivid images, and make the audience can see our poster easily, clearly. Actually, we achieved our purpose.
Candy did not come to school on Friday, so the burden of the presentation was held in my and mike's hands. We have to do the presentation by ourselves. We did the presentation well, even though we lost a member. Mike tried his best to speak English, and he did what little he can.
I was enjoy my first presentation in English 11 Class, and I try to work with some new partners, such is the fact, I can work with new partners very well. Last, but most importantly,
"Labor vanquished all".
