It was a mid-term exam in my second grade. I got 97 points in math. I'm in heaven, on my way home. I feel the grass nodding to me, the flowers smiling at me, the birds singing for me on the branches, and the wind gently stroking my forehead as if to say, "You did well in the exam!" " I came home in high spirits and shouted as soon as I entered the door, "Dad, give me a glass of water!" " "Dad hurried out of the bedroom and asked in surprise," What's so happy? " I threw the test paper on the table and said, "Look for yourself! "Who knows, after reading the paper, Dad said indifferently," Modesty makes people progress, while pride makes people lag behind. "After listening to it, I thought to myself: What is humbleness and pride? What is humbleness and pride for a smart person like me?
Gradually, I don't focus on learning, and I don't pay attention to other students. Gradually, I am addicted to video games, and sometimes I am addicted to recalling the games I played in class. I didn't listen carefully in class and my homework wasn't finished on time. How time flies! This is the final exam. In the examination room, my anxiety and guilt can be imagined, and as a result, my exam results are self-evident. How self-abased and embarrassed I was when I walked home with the test paper in frustration! How jealous I am to see my classmates walking happily talking and laughing!
When I got home, my father had seen my performance. He said earnestly, "Modesty makes people progress, while pride makes people lag behind!" " "Although my father's words were not harsh, I sounded like my father's palm hit me hard in the face, and I felt irritable on my face. Looking back on the performance after the last exam, tears of regret ran down my cheeks. I silently wrote down this sentence in my mind: "Modesty makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind. "
Now, it has been more than a year, but my father's sentence "modesty makes people progress, pride makes people lag behind" is still deeply engraved in my heart. It always warns me: no matter how excellent you are, no matter how good your grades are, you should be modest and prudent. Now, this sentence has become my motto, and it will accompany me to the future and success.
