I remember when I was in the third grade, I wrote a composition entitled "One thing I want" and gave it to the teacher for correction. The teacher said to me happily, "Your composition is not bad! If there is progress, we must continue to work hard in the future! " I also posted my composition on the wall, and the teacher repeatedly told me, "Don't be complacent when you get good grades, but keep a modest attitude." However, I don't quite understand this sentence.
I told my mother about it, and my mother praised me and told me, "Be modest, don't be proud." . I was so excited that what my mother just said went in one ear and out the other. So I became proud, thinking: the "guy" of composition actually has nothing to be afraid of, and I can cope with it at once. From then on, my heart was full of pride, I didn't like reading, I didn't concentrate on listening in class, and my writing was not good. ...
In a composition class, the teacher asked us to write a composition. I thought, "I wrote my first composition so well, and this time it's nothing", so I wrote a composition casually and handed it in. As a result, I was called to the office by the teacher. The teacher said to me seriously, "Look at your own composition? I can't understand it. Can you understand your composition? Tell me. " I looked down at my composition. I was blindsided and thought: Is this my composition? Unexpectedly, even you can't understand it yourself ... The teacher added: "Your composition is really bad, and the central idea is not clear;" A misspelled word; The sentence is not fluent, alas ... you, I praise you, so proud. I hope you study hard and improve your writing ability. Now the teacher can't give you a famous saying-'modesty makes people progress, pride makes people fall behind' ... "
After returning home, I wrote the famous words given to me by my teacher on the cardboard and put them in front of my desk as my motto. Since then, I have listened carefully to classes, read various books and practiced my handwriting every day.
"Modesty makes people progress, pride makes people lag behind", which has become my motto and will always spur me.
2. Pride makes people lag behind, modesty makes people progress "is my favorite motto. This is what Chairman Mao taught us. It means: as long as people are proud, they will fall behind, while being modest, eager to learn and not ashamed to ask questions can achieve better results! I didn't understand this sentence at first, but an experience gave me a new understanding of this sentence. I remember that in the third grade, under the guidance of my mother, my grades were not bad, especially in mathematics, and my grades were often above 90. Gradually, I feel proud. In class, the teacher was lecturing, and I didn't concentrate on the lecture, just a little gesture. The homework assigned by the teacher is only scrawled. After school, I just watch cartoons with great interest and don't review my lessons. The consequences of pride will soon fall on me! It was the mid-term exam, and the math paper was handed out. When I look at the topic, it's very simple. I did it three times, five times and twice. I didn't check it carefully, I just looked around. The next day, the test paper was handed out. When I saw it, I was dumbfounded, only 86 points. I remember the previous scene vividly, and this score of 86 was unprecedented at that time. It's all because I'm proud of a little achievement, otherwise how could I get this 86 points? I have to eat the bitter fruit of this pride. Pride is terrible! After that, I never dared to be proud. I listen carefully in class and don't make small moves. Homework is written neatly and often gets "excellent"! Ask teachers and classmates for questions you don't understand. Many things happen. I did well in the final exam and was rated as "three good students". I tasted the sweetness and my heart was full of joy! Only after this incident did I really understand the meaning of President Mao Zedong's motto "Pride makes people lag behind, modesty makes people progress". It is warning people to be modest and eager to learn, not to be ashamed to ask questions and not to be proud. I will keep this motto in mind and put an end to pride.
