Have you ever tried to draw a straight line, only to find it turns out all wrong? Or, wanted to show 1 at a party but the song you’d practised so many times suddenly 2more difficult?
I’ve had both these 3. As a Senior 3 student, I have to 4many exams. Each time, I enter one, thinking “I 5fail this time.”
But don’t be surprised --- it’s not 6 we don’t try, or don’t do enough preparation, 7 don’t take it seriously. On the contrary, it is because we put ourselves under too much 8. It is thinking: “I must…” that makes us taste the terrible flavor of 9 ．
We often 10to our friends: “Don’t be too hard 11yourself!” But when we 12our own goals, we may not listen to our own advice．
In doing so, we are making our path to success increasingly difficult．
So why not 13thiscrazypursuit(追求)togetthebest? Just face the problem 14before you with a calm mind, enjoy the hard work and you will succeed．
In my opinion, 15 a calm state of mind is a skill for life. For people who want to succeed, 16this is a very important lesson．
So 17time when you’re trying to draw a straight line or 18 a performance, tell yourself: “If I can just do it better than last time, it’s a 19． ”
Keep a calm state of mind, and you will be happy 20you succeed or fail．
