Thomas Jefferson wrote "Determine never to be idle . . . It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing." I strongly agree with this quote because effort is always the key to success, practicing over and over can make anything better, and practice can make you comfortable. First reason why I agree with Thomas Jefferson is the effort.

Sometimes it is painful to be always doing something, but at the end if I want to succeed and achieve the goal I want. I will be happy to go on the tough road and
