17．Many people give up studies because of money，but they have not got the realization that they need studies more than ever because of their poverty．Without studying，how could you change your fate？The final result may be that you are always short of money．I have been long holding a view that you can save money in every aspect in your life but not in your study．
I used to save every penny when I was studying abroad and bought everything as cheap as possible．When it came to textbooks，I would never think about saving money but bought it without the least hesitation even though it might cost me almost 70euros．My classmates might borrow my books to copy，but I thought it to be time-consuming and I would easily get some pages lost．Besides，it was because I knew that the book was bought at a high price that I would try my best to finish it，while my classmates might put it away after flipping through a few pages．
It is the same with studies．When you use a lot of money trying to learn a language or a skill，and the money was earned with your hard work or was even borrowed from others，would you give it up easily？For a rich student and a poor student who spent the same money for a course，will their attitudes towards the course are the same？Definitely not!And I can claim for sure that the poor student would study harder than the rich student．
Moreover，from my students'case，I also see a common problem in our society：When coming across difficulties，the first thing popping up in our mind is not to think about how to try them，but to give up．Many people would feel headache when meeting a small problem and then amplify the problem to find an excuse of giving up．Actually what we need to do is not fearing the problem but trying every means to solve it．When you get addicted to this habit，no matter what you do，you will not succeed，because everything you do will have its own problems，whether small or big．
