Modesty helps one go forward, whereas conceit makes one lag behind

"Humble mind makes people progress, pride makes people fall behind" is a sentence I have often recited recently, because my pride has made my mid-term exam fail!

At the beginning of this semester, my three subjects scored quite well. It is not 100 or 99, so I often get praise from teachers. The envy of my classmates is a bit swaying.

A few days before the midterm exam, the teacher repeatedly asked us to review. I am proud of myself, but I have not taken this matter into my eyes, thinking that I will not have to review anything. After the mid-term exam, it was not long before the test papers were sent. When I saw that my average score of the three subjects was only 90 points, it fell too much! In the wrong place, I saw that the basic questions are too many wrong. Even I am wrong. This can blame anyone, just blame proud, I did not seriously review my Huang Liangmei dream to "bubble"! Self-sufficiency! !

I signed the test paper to my mother. My mother looked at it but didn't scold me. Instead, he said kindly to me: "I tell you the story of "Tortoise and Rabbit Race". This story is what you have heard, but today I must I will tell you." "One day, the tortoise and the rabbit raced, and the rabbit quickly ran to the mountainside and turned to look at the turtle that had just climbed a few steps. He found a comfortable place to sleep. The turtle climbed step by step, finally I won the victory in front of the rabbit.” Mom said with a strong heart: “You see, the cumbersome turtle can win, this is exactly the same as learning, the humility can progress, the pride will only lag behind.” Listening to my mother’s words really made me I have benefited a lot and I am deeply engraved in my heart.

The phrase "open mind makes people progress, pride makes people fall behind" will accompany me on the road of my future growth and spur me.
