The famous saying "Failure is the mother of success" inspired me to help my father get rid of his bad habit of smoking.

Dad loves to smoke. He smokes dozens of cigarettes a day, which fills the whole house with the smell of cigarette smoke and makes my mother and I often dizzy. One day I couldn't bear it anymore and ran to my father angrily and said angrily: Dad, stop smoking. Mom and I are going to be dizzy from your cigarettes. Dad ignored him and stood up, casually saying: Smoking is good for your health. I looked at the background of my father leaving, and kept muttering in my heart: Smoking is good for health. I think he is smoking stupid, forget it, I won't argue with him, and I will reason with him when he wakes up. Mom seemed like she couldn't stand it anymore. She cooperated with me to persuade Dad several times, but he turned a deaf ear to our words, going in one ear and out the other. Really, once we put away Dad's ashtray, but Dad seemed to be at home. As if I had installed an observer, I found all the ashtrays as soon as I got home. I saw that I had no choice but to be defeated by my father. When my mother saw my dejected look, she immediately guessed what I was thinking and said: Failure is the mother of success. I immediately woke up after hearing this. He came to his father and said gently: "Dad, smoking is harmful to your health. If someone else smokes the cigarette you smoke, your life will be shortened by 15 seconds immediately. If you smoke, you will also get the same result as your life. Dad, please wake up, for the sake of mother, for I, and for your own sake, please don't smoke, okay? At first, my father did not listen to the advice and continued to smoke. But after a while, he seemed to wake up, and gradually the number of cigarettes increased from dozens to more than a dozen to a few, and finally he stopped smoking. One month and two months passed like this. One day I wanted to test whether my father still wanted to smoke, so I put a cigarette on the table and hid in the room to watch what my father was doing outside. My father saw the cigarette on the table. , just about to pick it up, suddenly he seemed to remember something and broke the cigarette. After seeing it, I jumped three feet high with joy.

I will always remember that failure is the mother of success. It allowed me to help my father quit smoking. It also taught me a truth: don’t be discouraged when encountering difficulties, don’t bow to them, but It takes countless failures to achieve final success.
