1 Favorite Quote

“Failure is the mother of success.” This is my favorite quote. Life is like a colorful picture, with success and failure as essential embellishments. Some people say: Success is bright, failure is gloomy. Some people also say: Success is beautiful, failure is ugly. But I don't think so. I believe that where there is failure, there is success.

I heard a story about Edison. One day, the teacher asked each student to make a small bench. When the teacher saw the little bench that Edison handed over, he asked him: "Is there any worse little bench in the world than this one?" Edison answered honestly: "Yes." Then he made the first two Take out a bench. In the end, Edison became the greatest inventor in the world. This also shows that failure is the stepping stone to success. It can accumulate experience for success and inspire us to move forward. I have also had the experience of failure. It was last year's summer vacation, the sun was shining brightly on the earth, and the cicadas kept chirping. There were many children outside buying popsicles to eat, but I was at home doing math problems for my summer vacation homework. The sultry weather made me sweat profusely, and I encountered another "stumbling block". I thought about it this way and that, but nothing was right and my thinking didn't add up. I called my classmates and asked them again. They had already done it, but they just refused to tell me. I was so hot that I was sweating all over my head, and even the fan couldn't cool me down. I spread my hands and stopped writing. But my unwillingness to admit defeat came back again: Why can others do it but I can’t? I can definitely do it too! Thinking about it, I immediately took out my scratch paper and started counting. "That's right!" I finally solved the problem. Suddenly I feel less hot. Failure is the soil, success is the seed; failure is the ladder, success is the peak. Without failure to stimulate your will, there will be no success in your ideal world; without failure to stimulate your fighting spirit, there will be no success to add color to your future.

This is my favorite quote: Failure is the mother of success. I take it as my motto, reminding me all the time to keep moving forward!

2. The most unforgettable quote

My most unforgettable quote is: "Don't be arrogant when you win, and don't be discouraged when you lose." The source of this sentence is "The Book of Shang Jun: The Law of War" in the Warring States Period. The original sentence is "The king's soldiers win without arrogance and lose without resentment." Later it was said that "don't be arrogant when you win, don't be discouraged when you lose", which means don't be arrogant when you win, and don't be discouraged when you lose. When I really realized its profound meaning, it was after that incident——

It was a Saturday afternoon, I went to a small Go class, and I played chess with Song Qingyu. The rule was five Win three games.

We spread out the chessboard and the battle began. As soon as the game started, I clearly had the advantage. I used various tricks to kill him until he had no way to escape, and he was retreating steadily. By the middle of the game, he was clearly defeated and could not turn the tide. , had no choice but to throw in the towel and admit defeat. The same happened in the second set. I won two sets in a row.

The third set started, and I clearly showed arrogance on my face. Looking at my opponent’s angry look, I felt so happy. I was so proud that I didn’t take my opponent seriously. I no longer looked like The first two games were the same. After careful consideration, I just went down without thinking. I made bad moves, faint moves, and random moves one after another. My territory was full of flaws. He went straight to Huanglong Mansion and was defeated miserably. In the fourth game, I was unconvinced and greedily took advantage of the opponent's moves. But maybe I was eager to win and acted too hastily, so I lost again. At this time, a famous saying echoed in my mind, "Don't be arrogant when you win, don't be discouraged when you lose." You can't take it lightly if you have won once.

The fifth set began, and this was the deciding set. So, I kept calm, calmed down, thought of a strategy, and attacked the opponent purposefully. From the beginning to the middle of the game, everyone was evenly matched. I used Shuangfeiyan to shackle his chess tendons, causing him to admit defeat. In the end, I defeated him three to two.

Although I won this game, I realized that he and I were actually on the same level. As long as I made a slight mistake, I would lose to the opponent. At the same time, I have a deeper understanding of the meaning of "Don't be arrogant when you win, and don't be discouraged when you lose." This is true for playing chess, and this should be true for learning. It’s rare, isn’t it?

3. One of my favorite proverbs

Proverbs grow with us. Sometimes they are signposts for progress, and sometimes they are the key to the soul. "Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing to do so". This is my favorite motto. This motto was told to me by my mother when I was in third grade.

It was a sultry afternoon, which made people feel very irritable. I am doing math exercises that my mother bought for me. Suddenly, a question stumped me. I've been calculating for a long time, but still haven't figured out the correct answer. I thought: Alas, this question is really difficult. Let’s play for a while! I was about to leave the desk. At this time, my mother asked me if I had finished the exercises. I said: "There is a question I don't know how to do, let me play for a while first!" My mother patiently taught me: "Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing to do it. No matter what difficulties or setbacks you encounter, as long as you have determination, patience and confidence , all difficulties will disappear." After listening to my mother's words, I went to study this question again, and the time passed by. I still didn't figure out the correct answer, but I didn't lose heart and continued to answer.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes... An hour passed, and the hard work paid off. I finally calculated the correct answer. My mother was right.

This is one of my favorite sayings. Because it gave me confidence when I was discouraged and allowed me to challenge difficulties and setbacks with confidence. This motto will become my lifelong motto.
