Be Like a Pine Tree And Bear What You Can
School had been very easy for me in the beginning. I had been the usual routine---show up for school, complete assignments, take tests, get grades. And that was usually straight A’s. I thought school was that easy.
Suddenly middle school began. Sure, I was a top student for six years, why would it be any harder? It was; the bad mark in a pop quiz deeply humbled me.
I became very resentful and angry about my situation. I felt so depressed for feeling inferior.
One winter day we had a heavy snow. Mother took me for a long walk. “ See those elm trees,” she said. “ The branches are broken. The trees may die. But look at those pine trees! They are not hurt by the snow.” “ When they have more snow than they can hold, they lower the branches and let the snow slip away. The next morning they are as good as ever.”
“There are just two kinds of trees in the world: the stubborn and the wise. Be like a pine tree. Bear what you can, then let the load slide off. You will move forward lightly.”
Yes, “Be like a pine tree. Bear what you can! ” Shake off resentment, angry and depression. We will have a bright future.

不经历风雨怎能见彩虹,重重巨浪过后的海洋才会显得如此蔚蓝。而我就像一叶扁舟,冒着随时都可能被大浪覆灭的危险,在风浪中毅然前行。
还记得得到其中考试成绩单的情形。只有94分的英语成绩犹如一道晴天霹雳时我全身都震悚起来。面对着同桌向我炫耀他的英语成绩时,心里真不是滋味。但我也不生他的气,因为他有资本向我炫耀。而我却没有那个本钱,但是现在并不代表以后。我在心里暗暗起誓:迟早有一天会让你成为我成功的垫脚石。
自此以后,我便鼓足了劲头去学英语。只要一有空闲时间,我便会背上及格单词,记住几句语法。在课上,为了让自己不走神,我把全部的注意力都集中在听老师讲课。每天的英语作业,我都会把它作为检测自己学习效果的一种方式。
经过了辛勤的努力后,我迎来了一次小测试。
这一天,我怀着激动又紧张的心情接过试卷,检测自己的时刻到了,向别人证明自己的机会来了。我右手一伸抓过我的笔,紧张着右手按住试卷,左手一扶,“唰——唰”地开始了答卷,交卷时,我自信满满的将试卷交了上去。知道试卷成绩公布时,当我知道我考了104分的那一刻,激动的热泪夺眶而出。我心里发出了嘶声揭底的怒吼:虽然这次的进步并不大,但是我会更加努力,尽快跟上你们的步伐。
挫折对于我来说就是最好的老师,他时时刻刻提醒着我,引领着我向那正确的方向扬帆起航。
