The best is yet to come.

Maybe you are wondering why I choose this topic. Don’t rush. I’ll tell you at the end of my speech.

There are some times when people come across unexpected success. And they tend to attribute these good things to themselves with great delight and even indulge themselves in it. Also, people will be encounter with miserable failure. Generally, the doomed world is all they have in their mind.

I’m one of these guys until I made acquaintance with the truth by Maupassant['məupə'sa:nt] that life is not so good as people imagine and is not so bad as people imagine either. It really impresses me. From it, I learned that it’s in vain to overreact to success and failure.

As for the happiness brought from success, like winning the first prize in a competition or getting a scholarship, I totally understand why we behave this way. Because everyone are eager to be noticed. Well, at times, the overreaction to success, such as being arrogant, does change our thoughts of ourselves, which makes us addicted to the so-called success, and stop to move on for a certain period. From my perspective, some opportunities to better ourselves will be missed. Life is a never-ending journey. The best is yet to come. Of course, to enjoy the achievement gained by ourselves is absolutely necessary. Then, stay hungry and stay foolish to better it. Just like Pele the king of football said,

the best shot is the next one. This attitude shows great confidence and modesty in pursuit of perfection.

As for the failure part, people who suffer from difficulties are always in a bad mood, or worse, in a depression for several days. Well, I won’t. For that I have another shortcoming that is known to myself, what I’m supposed to do is to overcome it, while others who haven’t gone through the failure are ignorant of their disadvantages. They don’t even know they have sth unperfect. Therefore, be grateful to failure, for they bring some hints to make a better you. Belief that failure is not the worst thing and the best is ahead of you.

So, that’s why I’m here, looking for a chance to be a better me. And believe that the best is yet to come.
