人們常說“戰(zhàn)勝自己，超越自我”。請你以“I only compete with myself”為題寫一篇短文。敘述你生活或?qū)W習(xí)中的一件事，說明只有戰(zhàn)勝了自己，超越了自己才有意義，才是真正意義上的成功。

 

Answer 1

【答案】

  In the real world, everyone wants to be splendid. Someone looks for a man of straw to catch up with, while others just compete with themselves. To me own, I certainly stand for the latter.

As a high school student, my main purpose is to get high marks and enter the dreaming university. I once locked on the number one student in our grade as my target object. But the result turned out to be far from satisfactory. Under greater and greater pressure, I just couldn’t bend my energy on studies and often made stupid mistakes. Hence, I stopped forcing myself and struggled to the very end just to be the best of me. What I required myself to achieve was not to be better than anyone else but to defeat the old one. And since then, I have performed better and made progress day by day.

So it is really useless setting unrealistic goals, since there is always someone who is either prettier or smarter than us. We might have kept chasing after others for a lifetime but finally found that we didn’t achieve anything. As the saying goes, “God only saves the man who saves himself.” and analogously, we only need to compete with ourselves. The sun will illuminate every corner of the land as long as we try to be the best of us.
