The ancients left many thought-provoking famous sayings, such as "an inch of silver and an inch of gold can't be bought", "nothing is difficult in the world, nothing is impossible to a willing mind", "where there is a will, there is a way" and "many things grind" ... But my favorite sentence is "modesty makes people progress and pride makes people lag behind", which has benefited me a lot.

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 didn't really understand this sentence.

I told my mother about it, and my mother praised me and told me "be modest, not proud". I was in high spirits and ignored what my mother had just said. So I became proud and thought: the "guy" of composition actually has nothing to be afraid of, and I can cope with it at once. Since then, my heart is full of pride, I don't like reading, and I don't pay attention to class.

In a composition class, the teacher asked us to write a composition. I thought, "My first composition was so good, what's wrong this time?" 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 about it. " I looked down at my composition. I was blindsided and thought: Is this my own 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, ah ... 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 been listening to lectures, reading all kinds of books and practicing calligraphy every day.

"Modesty makes people progress, pride makes people lag behind", which has become my motto and will always spur me.
