The ancients left many thought-provoking sayings, such as "An inch of yin is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of yin", "Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing", "Where there is a will, things come true." , "Hard work pays off"... However, my favorite sentence is - "Humility makes people progress, pride makes people fall behind." This famous saying has benefited me a lot.

I remember that when I was in third grade, I wrote an essay titled "One Thing I Want" and gave it to the teacher for correction after I finished it. The teacher happily said to me: "Your composition is pretty good! You have made progress. Please continue to work hard in the future!" He also pasted the composition I wrote on the wall. The teacher repeatedly told me, "Don't be complacent if you get good grades." , we must retain a humble attitude.” However, I don't really understand this sentence.

I told my mother about this, and she praised me and told me, "Be humble, don't be proud." I was so happy that I turned a deaf ear to what my mother just said. So I became proud and thought: There is actually nothing to fear from this "guy" Composition, I can handle it in no time. From then on, my heart was filled with pride, I no longer liked reading books, I no longer listened attentively in class, and I couldn’t write well...

In a composition class, the teacher asked us to write wrote an essay. I thought to myself: "My first essay was so good, what does it matter this time?" So I wrote an essay nonchalantly and handed it in. As a result, I was called to the office by the teacher. The teacher said to me seriously: "Look at the composition you wrote? I can't even understand it. Can you understand the composition you wrote? Tell me." I I lowered my head and looked at the composition I had written. I was dumbfounded and thought to myself: Is this the composition I wrote myself? I didn't expect that even you couldn't understand it... The teacher said again: "This essay of yours is really terrible. The central idea is unclear, there are many typos, and the sentences are not fluent. Hey... You, I praised you, so... So proud and complacent. I hope you study hard and improve your writing skills. Now the teacher has a famous saying - 'humility makes people progress, pride makes people fall behind'..."

After returning home, I told the teacher The famous quotes given to me were written on cardboard and placed in front of my desk as a motto to spur me on. From then on, I listened to classes seriously every day, read various reading materials, and practiced calligraphy well.

"Humility makes people progress, pride makes people fall behind." This motto has become my motto and will always spur me on.
