Beginning:

I have known many famous sayings since I was a child. Some famous sayings are to encourage me to study hard; Some are for me to read widely; Others let me know that I should be polite and know the honor and disgrace. Everyone should still remember what Chairman Mao said: "Modesty makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind." This famous saying, right? That's it. It inspired me a lot. Don't believe it? Then listen to me slowly.

I remember that when I was approaching the second semester of grade four, my grades kept falling. It really worried me. Therefore, I go home from school every day and read as soon as I finish my homework. Unexpectedly, it was quite effective. I actually got the first place in my class in the final exam. Suddenly, I became arrogant. I proudly handed my report card to my grandmother and said, "It's a piece of cake. Give me ten more." However, just when I was proud, my grandmother poured cold water on me. "Pride makes people lag behind. You can't be so proud." Although I nodded at that time, I turned a deaf ear to it afterwards. No, I failed the first monthly exam in grade five, and I got 1 points off the written English test alone. And I only got 93 points in math, which I am usually good at. Chinese has not been tested yet. When I came home from school yesterday, my grandmother opened my schoolbag and saw a big 93 on the math test paper, so she got angry: "Why did you only get so few grades?" How can you be worthy of the class teacher who cares about you so much? You still think I'm nagging. Look, your grades have dropped, and you're still the first! "

from then on, I really understood that "modesty makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind." The meaning of this sentence also shows that one should not be complacent at any time. I also know that grades can only represent the past. If you want to get good grades, you must be humble and work hard!
