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 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 that people will fall behind as long as they are proud, but they can achieve better results if they are modest and eager to learn and are not ashamed to ask questions! 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, but I didn't pay attention to the lecture, just a little gesture. The homework assigned by the teacher is just a scribble. In my spare time. 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, but I looked around. The next day, the test paper was issued, and I was dumbfounded. Only 86 points. The previous scene is vivid, and this 86 points was unprecedented at that time. This is all because I am proud in front of a little achievement, otherwise how could it be possible? 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. My homework is very neat, and I often get an "A"! 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 felt flattered! Only after this incident did I really understand the meaning of Chairman * * *' s motto "Pride makes people lag behind, modesty makes people progress", which is to warn 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.
