On the road of life, we will face many choices. Flowers don't wither forever, but leave the branches to protect them and become soil and beauty that never leaves. Different choices will lead to different results. Rivals, since we came to this world, there have been rivals competing with us. Choosing an opponent is very important to ourselves, and it also determines a person's future and quality. Am I like everyone else? I once heard a fable: In a forest, a mole who overreached himself envied the prestige of the king of the forest, so he found a tiger to challenge him. It told the tiger that if it defeated the tiger, it would give itself the status of king of the forest; If it loses, it will stay away from the forest ruled by tigers. The tiger flatly refused without thinking. The tiger said, "If I accept your challenge, no matter what the result is, you are the winner.". As for me, all animals will laugh at me for fighting with a mole. " Is the tiger that beats the mole still the king of the forest? So, it's not that I dare not promise you, but that I disdain to choose a mouse like you as my opponent! "
In order to survive in society, one often meets competitors. Life without an opponent is a pale life, but things are complicated and unpredictable. Our opponent is sometimes his intimate friend, sometimes someone with ulterior motives who stumbles you, sometimes a life-and-death friend who really changes his mind, and sometimes a despicable villain ... choose a person who has both ability and political integrity and is aboveboard as his opponent. In the competition, because of his Excellence, he can drive and improve his ability and accomplishment, thus gaining the fun of the competition. On the other hand, being an opponent with a low ability or even a buffoon will not only consume your energy, but also make you vulgar and degenerate, even if you win, you will lose face.
The opponent I choose must be stronger than me. I am different from others. Some people only challenge the weak, while I only challenge the strong. Only in this way, my life will be meaningful, full of challenges, and there will be joy and small satisfaction after success.
Under normal circumstances, the opponent should be a confrontation between two people. But I think many times, our strongest opponent is not others, but ourselves.
Time is like a naughty child, deliberately turning the sky into deep blue with the wheel of time. "Doing my homework at home, I'll go to class first." Mother walked out of the house with heavy steps and the door slammed.
At this time, I really want to enjoy TV for a while, but I can't find any reason to comfort myself.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and it happened that I was opening my mouth, so the wind rushed into my mouth. Alas! It never rains but it pours. My teeth are starting to hurt. Hehe, I personally realized that "bitter first, then sweet", this toothache is ok, just to cover watching TV. God helped me, and finally found a reason to desert. At this moment, I couldn't help shouting. If others hear me, I may even think I'm crazy.
"But homework …" I subconsciously looked at my schoolbag. At this time, it seems that there are two people in my heart negotiating, one is diligent and eager to learn, and the other is lazy like a pig. "Who cares? Watch TV for a while." Obviously, the lazy side won easily.
The light will eventually illuminate the darkness, and the hardworking party must be the ultimate winner. Just as I was about to turn on the TV, I compared petty gain with study and thought that study was more important. I finally resisted the temptation. At this time, the complacent lazy side was defeated in an instant.
The opponent is not necessarily a life-and-death battle, but a way to challenge yourself.
Rival = friend? Of course, I have such an opponent, oh, no, it should be a friend.
She is a very powerful role. She is the first in three subjects in Class 6, Grade 6. And she is my deskmate! How can I describe it when I sit at the same table with her? Yes, there are sadness, joy, "pain" and happiness that make people laugh from ear to ear.
She is a cheerful and lively girl, and can often hear her hearty laughter and kind words in the whole school.
She is a girl who loves learning. She often borrows books from her classmates. There are all kinds of books, such as Taste of the Three Kingdoms, Flowers in the Morning, and Adventures of Sherlock Holmes ... These books cover astronomy, geography, and human society, and they are very valuable.
She is also a student who cares about her classmates and classes very much. She brought the wall clock that has been used in our classroom for several years. Every time she donated money and materials to the class, she was the first to bear the brunt. She often cares about her classmates' study and enjoys a good reputation among them. I remember once, we had a three-unit math exam. Because of carelessness, I didn't see the last painting question, so I deducted three points and didn't get full marks. I feel so sad that I want to tear down the south wall. But I got 100 at my deskmate. After math class, she didn't show off her achievements to others, but "scolded" me. The content surprised me, not satirizing me, but giving birth to a look of hating iron and not producing steel, saying that I was careless, which led to people getting a hundred points and disrespecting their opponents. I was told by her, but I didn't. After going home, I thought about it. It seems that this deskmate is very good.
I remember that in the first semester of grade six this year, the teacher transferred me to this classmate. In fact, I have heard about this classmate's "record" for a long time, and I have long regarded her as the first opponent in my heart. Although I was not very happy at that time, I was already very happy in my heart. I kowtowed to the teacher for this kindness, and finally narrowed the distance with my opponent, showing me his learning methods. Haha, God help me too!
In this semester, flying with me, my grades improved faster and faster. Gradually, I like such opponents more and more, so my opponents have gradually become friends.
Finally, in the final exam of the first semester, I put a satellite and fought a turnaround, surpassing her last semester's score and ranking first in the class in three subjects. In fact, this time I won not only my own efforts, but also her help and influence on me.
In fact, the opponent is like a mirror, always looking at her shortcomings and advantages. The opponent is not a thorn in her side, but a very, very good motivation in the process of growing up. She can make herself climb peaks and rapids, and finally achieve results and win the crown of success.
Want to know who she is?
After school, I walked home casually, because the mid-term exam was coming soon, and I was bored. When I got home, I opened a thick phone book to kill time. Suddenly, a string of numbers caught my eye. I stared at it, my nose was sour, my eyes began to blur, and a warm and long-lasting memory came back to my eyes.
At that time, we were not familiar with each other, only blooming alone in this strange atmosphere. The trick of fate made us competitors in the mid-term exam. We tied for first place. Although I am careless, I am not broad enough. Human instinct makes me deliberately avoid you, satirize you and hate you. Although you are indifferent, unlike me, it will only make me hate you more. Gradually, I finally passed you in the final exam and left you far behind. When I got my report card, I walked up to you, shook my hair proudly and said, "Look at me, every door is better than you." This is pure irony. You should have stood up blushing and responded rudely with dirty words, but you didn't. You are a fool, holding my hand and saying something that makes me want to get into the cracks of the earth. You said, "Don't put on airs, I know everything. Let's go and celebrate for you. " I shook your hand and left. You caught up with me and gave me a note with my phone number, which said, "This is my phone number. Everyone exchanges more and learns more. " . Looking at her sincere eyes, I froze. I didn't say anything, so I grabbed the note and left. After returning home, I thought about it for a long time. I think my efforts in the past few days are simply to be a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. In fact, she is three points less than me, but I always think about the score. All I got was a score, but what I lost was something more precious.
I finally dialed the telephone. There was a long silence at first, and then a happy voice came, "Is that you?" I thought about it and said, "You still owe me a big meal, remember?" She smiled: "Of course, I didn't forget. Why do you think of my old friend? " "Well ..." I suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "The other day ... that thing ... I didn't mean to," I said, and her ringing laughter came from the phone. "There was nothing that day. I haven't remembered it for a long time. " I was relieved and smiled, and then we chatted easily. In the process of chatting, we found that we actually have many similar hobbies. We had a good chat, but I always had a doubt. Finally, I asked. "When I alienated you, you didn't ignore me. When I am arrogant, you celebrate for me. Why? " "Because the opponent is a friend," her clear voice came from the other end of the phone. "If I keep alienating you and hating you, how can I inspire your potential?"
When I heard this, I felt my eyes blurred. Yes, the opponent is a friend! She can inspire you when you are not enterprising, or celebrate you when you are successful. She can stimulate your potential, improve your fighting spirit, and make you not slack off and lonely on the way forward.
I breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to her on the other end of the phone, "Thank you, friend."
Since childhood, everyone has an opponent around him.
I used to regard you as my enemy, and every contest meant a "life-and-death". I won, you are sad: you won, I am sad. A draw, we are both sad.
Opponent, you have embarrassed and lost me. You are the representative of Chinese class, and you are responsible for reciting, but reciting is one of my weaknesses, so I always go home to study. However, it was difficult to get close to my mother tongue during that time, so I went home to review for a while and forgot it in the afternoon. You drew me closer to my mother tongue and glanced at me stuck in the last paragraph from the corner of your eye. I was so worried that I searched my memory. The last paragraph had no content, so I held it tightly. Ah, sure enough, he called the Chinese teacher before my chair was hot. Without saying a word, the teacher sang a soprano, taking me as an example, criticizing me and several classmates who also didn't recite well. When the teacher's soprano sounded and the whole class looked at me with burning eyes, I felt my self-esteem was seriously trampled. I hung my head and dared not look at my classmates. Grit your teeth and swear that you must defeat her.
Opponent, you once made me beautiful and proud. I have been working hard since that recitation, hoping to get back 10% in the upcoming mock exam. Finish your homework carefully every night and do more independent homework to exercise yourself. Recite everything carefully before going to bed. I don't believe it. Can't this 360-degree review without dead ends beat you? Thought of here, I have some pride in my heart. A week later, the exam began, and I happened to be in the examination room with you. Looking at your back, I keep cheering for myself and carefully examining the questions, for fear that I won't make mistakes. A few days later, the results came out. Because of the difficulty of this paper, you did badly, and even your best Chinese was only 93 points. As for me, I passed five levels and got the first place in my class. I am always careless and lose points. After listening to the teacher's praise and encouragement, I feel very fulfilled. I found that learning is a happy thing, I don't hate exams so much, and my grades have taken a step forward. This competition between you and me has changed me in some places and made me better.
In the constant contest, you and I find ourselves growing a lot. Recite, gradually faster; Exam, many champions; And hostility, because of the growth of age, has become friendship.
Having said that, it always boils down to one sentence: "Thank you, opponent, because of your existence, I have unlimited motivation!" " Come on, opponent! Let's go up a storey still higher in the face of failure and success! "
The opponent may be an enemy or a friend. I have such an opponent. Her name is Zhou Zuo and she is the monitor of our class. She is lively, cheerful and lovable. I have been studying very hard at ordinary times and my academic performance has been among the best. My grades are not the best, but the top few are more than enough.
Last exam, I asked her nervously; "Are you nervous?" "Not nervous!" She answered me with a smile. It seems that psychologically she is slightly better than me. The paper was handed out, and I got 99 points. I was so satisfied that I jumped beside her. "I got 99 points. What about you? " I'm very proud. "I got 100." But I didn't find any pride in her face, which made me a little sad, sad for not getting the first place, and sad for my pride.
Another time, the teacher asked Zhou Zuo to read the text. She read vividly, without any mistakes, and read vividly the expressions and psychological changes of the characters. After reading, the classroom rang with unprecedented warm applause. The teacher also asked me to read the text. Although there is applause, I know that I am not as good as her in reading. Her voice is like a tinkling river, so crisp and sweet. The teacher said she was a lark. I'm happy and sad. I am glad to have such a good partner, but sadly, I am no longer the best. After class, I just looked out of the window. Zhou Zuo saw my sadness and said; "When you encounter difficulties, you should be brave enough to face them. We must constantly correct and strive to do our best. " I hate you! I shouted. Zhou Zuo was about to cry, but he persisted; "Come, let's work together!" "I hate you, don't you understand?" "I know, but I always regard you as my best friend! Come, let's make progress together and make progress together! " I suddenly felt that I was wrong, but I couldn't say the words "please forgive me". She said; "Be best friends! Don't argue now! " "Not now, not now." After class, we became friends again, studying together and working hard together.
I know I can't, but I will try. In the days to come, I will constantly improve myself, try to change myself and make us friends.
Only by comparison can we know who we really are.
Only by comparison can we know our imperfections.
Only by comparison can you be truly rich.
If you don't compare, how can you correct yourself?
If you don't compare, how can you know your grades?
Look! This is my opponent-Zhou Zuo.
An opponent is an opponent. Let's learn from power generation. It's an opponent. Let's be tenacious and enterprising. It is an opponent, which makes us more fulfilling. Let's take a look at the composition of thanking your opponent in Grade One, hoping to help everyone.
A bird can't fly higher in the blue sky without other birds as rivals. Without other fish as rivals, a fish can't swim faster and jump farther. It is impossible for a horse to run faster without other horses as rivals. From the moment you appeared, it completely changed everything for me. You are the happiest in my life. Thank you, my opponent.
I still remember when I was in junior high school, I started to become arrogant with good grades. I trapped myself in a circle, blinded by ignorance, and couldn't get out. I thought others would never catch up with me. I thought I would always be among the best as I am now, but I didn't know your efforts, you were making progress ... until the exam came, I was still arrogant, but this time, I never expected that I failed completely. You topped the list, but I plummeted. So, I began to envy, I began to envy, but more surprised. I'm confused. I finally got up the courage to ask you the way to success, but the answer you gave me was so simple: "You are my opponent, I want to surpass you!" " At that moment, I completely realized that nothing is static, as long as I stagnate a little, I will be surpassed. From that moment on, you became my opponent, and I began to study hard. With my sweat and efforts, I proved that I was not worse than you, and I was the ultimate winner.
From then on, we began to enter a state of catching up with me. I am determined to surpass you. I get up early and go to bed late every day, giving up those boring TV plays and fascinating games just to catch up with you quickly. I always tell myself: I haven't caught up with my opponent, I must never give up ... Every time I ask you a question, you are always willing to help me, and you also point out my mistakes and help me correct them. Only then did I realize how ignorant I was before. So you are not only my opponent, but also my good friend.
Gradually, I caught up with you and we made progress together. Whenever I fail, you always give me comfort at the first time. Whenever you fail, you are not angry, but happy for me. It is because of your existence that I have made such great progress today.
Thank you, my opponent. It was you who taught me with that pure heart what is tolerance and what is competition. You make me progress and make me sensible.
