Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
"Opportunity favors only those who are prepared" is a well-known proverb. Looking back on my own experience, I deeply realize that a person must have certain conditions and good quality as the support, that is, the quality of opportunity choice.
Indeed, opportunities tend to favor those who are capable and talented. However, the acquisition of these abilities and talents comes from unremitting efforts. Without tears, efforts and sweat, it is impossible to succeed. Successful people can succeed because they have the conditions for success, and these conditions are obtained because they have paid more than others. These labors, like laying a foundation, finally laid the foundation for their career.
Without the good opportunities given by the times, there will be no brilliant life and career achievements of successful people. However, in the face of the same environment and the opportunities given by the same environment, not everyone is lucky. Before being taken care of by fate, successful people have gone through long and arduous preparations. The reason why they can get more care from fate is that they have made longer and more adequate preparations than ordinary people. They are like seeds, accumulating nutrients and nutrients in dark soil.
Opportunity is a scarce and harsh resource. To get it, we must pay a considerable price and cost, and we must have the corresponding qualifications, and all of this can not be separated from long-term hard preparation. If the opportunity can be easily obtained by everyone, it is of little value. Similarly, when opportunities are known to all, opportunities are rapidly disappearing.
We are now in a great period full of opportunities, and our work is also full of opportunities to show our talents and make continuous progress. How to face the opportunity? This selection also tells us that although we don't have the conditions in some aspects, as long as we keep learning and constantly improve our quality, I believe we will adapt to the requirements of society and seize certain opportunities. At the same time, a new person is always in constant change, that is to say, opportunities are constantly changing, and even the threshold of opportunities will be higher and higher. The surrounding environment is changing and new things are constantly emerging, which also requires us to keep learning. There is no way out of stagnation. Today, with the development of automobile industry, we will never travel by horse again. While emphasizing the quality of opportunity choice, we should also hone our spirit and constantly break through ourselves. I won't complain blindly about the people chosen by the opportunity, but I will treat their advantages and strengths truthfully, analyze the reasons for their success and turn them into my own motivation. The experience of many successful people tells us that they can win in the end. Not only do they have some conditions, but they also have a spirit of never working hard and never being satisfied. Encouraged by this spirit, they can constantly challenge themselves, break through all kinds of obstacles in life, improve their careers step by step, and reach the end of qualitative change. Therefore, the opportunity may come late, but once it comes, it will become a turning point for these people who never give up to change their destiny.
None of us can change the past, but we can keep learning, enrich ourselves, improve our ability, constantly hone ourselves and seize our next development opportunity in the future.
Extended reading: two short essays from other high schools.

Today, I want to talk to you about "modesty".
Modesty makes people progress, while pride makes people lag behind. When you get excellent grades, don't be proud, but also be modest to guide and learn from others, and don't be complacent. As the saying goes; "People are outside, and the sky is behind." In short, no matter how much you have achieved, never forget modesty whenever and wherever you are.
Modesty is a virtue and a prerequisite for progress and success. One should learn to be modest. You get the key to success.
Confucius said, "In a threesome, there must be a teacher." Confucius was an ancient thinker and educator in China. He is knowledgeable, knowledgeable, but never complacent. On his way to the state of Jin, he met a seven-year-old child who blocked the way and asked Confucius to answer two questions before making way. One is: Why do geese cry so loudly? Confucius said, "Goose has a long neck, so it cries loudly." "The child said," The frog's neck is very short. Why does it scream so loudly? " Confucius was speechless. He was embarrassed to say to the students, "I am not as good as him." He can be my teacher! " "I think Confucius has the quality of being a teacher and has achieved such great success.
Franklin was called the father of America. When talking about the road to success, he said that everything started with a visit. When he was young, an old-timer invited him to meet him in a low hut. Here comes Franklin, chest up and striding forward. As soon as I entered the door, my forehead slammed into the door frame, suddenly swollen and cried. The old-timer saw him and said with a smile, "Does it hurt? This is your harvest today. If a person wants to gain insight into the world and cultivate human feelings, he must always remember to bow his head. " Franklin regarded this visit as an enlightenment, and he firmly remembered the guidance of his predecessors.
It can be seen that a person should not only accept the teaching of others with an open mind, but also "be a teacher with the ability". As long as he has a degree, he can be your teacher and guide him humbly.
Students, now is an information society, but also a society full of competition. Only when each of us learns to be modest can we accept all rivers and gain a foothold in this society.
Learn tolerance and understanding.
Tolerance is the root of a person's heart, and people's tolerance lingers and sublimates in the deep heart; Tolerance is a person's soul, and people's actions change because of tolerance.
Learning to be tolerant means no more doubts.
According to legend, one night, an old Zen master was walking in the temple when he suddenly saw a chair in the corner. As soon as he saw it, he knew that a monk had gone out for a walk over the wall and violated the temple rules. The old Zen master didn't say a word, walked to the corner, moved the chair and squatted down on the spot. After a while, a young monk really jumped into the yard on the back of the old Zen master in the dark. When his foot touched the ground, he realized that he had just stepped on the master instead of the chair. The young monk suddenly panicked and was tongue-tied. But to the young monk's surprise, instead of sharply criticizing, Master said in a calm tone, "It's very cold at night, so go and put on more clothes."
The old Zen master forgave his disciple. He knows that tolerance is a silent education.
Some people say that tolerance is a symbol of weakness, but it is not. Tolerance suspected of weakness cannot be called real tolerance at all. Tolerance is a rare good situation in life, and it is a realm that needs practice and cultivation.
Tolerance, first of all, includes tolerance for yourself. Only those who tolerate themselves can tolerate others. Half of people's troubles come from themselves, that is to say, painting the ground as a prison and tying themselves up. Only by admitting what you can't do can we foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and we can not swallow the light of fire in our hearts because of the fire of jealousy. Treat yourself with tolerance; It is a calm work life. This kind of mentality is to enrich one's good state.
The process of tolerance is also a "complementary" process. If others have this problem, they can face it squarely and give criticism and help in an appropriate way, so as to avoid a big mistake. If you make a mistake, you don't have to be discouraged and never recover. You should also learn a lesson, learn from others' strengths, make up for your own shortcomings, and raise the sail of life again.
Of course, tolerance is by no means unprincipled generosity, but moderate generosity based on self-confidence, helping others and benefiting society, and must follow the legal system and moral norms. For the vast majority of people who can be educated well, it is advisable to adopt the method of combining forgiveness with restraint; We must not be soft on those who are arrogant and unreasonable and refuse to change their minds after repeated education. In this sense, the correct attitude is to "stress principles on major issues and style on minor issues".
Tolerance of others everywhere is by no means weakness, nor is it helplessness in the face of reality. In the short course of life, learning to be tolerant means that your life is happier. Tolerance is an important philosophy of life.
