The tempo of modern civilization has been much quickened in the last twenty years. While witnessing the dramatic changes in the better-off society, people begin to reconsider the question of "survival". "Survival" in the old sense does not bother us anymore. Instead, we are more concerned about how to "survive" in the human world full of competition.
　　Competition always carries abreast challenges and opportunities to everyone involved. It might appear in an entrance exam, in a regular class, or in a small public speech. Those who fail to detect its real nature-whether an opportunity or a challenge a competition really is- will lose something more or less conducive to our growth. Of course, if we take the competition as an opportunity, we will favor it intentionally because they can help us outstand from the average; they will make us become the focus of public attention; they will grant us more chances and rights to succeed. As a matter of fact, opportunities are supposed to be more perceptible and welcoming than challenges. The truth is, however, we will lose more opportunities when we choose to take the "opportunity" fork at the crossroads. The other fork, ignored by us and defined as "fearful challenges", offers much more chances for the walker in competition.
　　We have such an inclination in life to overestimate ourselves and hold a thoughtless attitude towards the negative outlook of things.
　　We believe in the old saying, "Opportunity knocks but just once," so we always welcome it and devote all our spirit and efforts to it. The most devout believer of this saying are the graduates. Why? There are quite a number of them who pay full attention to positions in big cities and are willing to flood into developed areas under any circumstances, even though there will be too much uncertainty for their choices. Innumerable cases go straight to the same miserable end: God seems to refuse to help too many of His worshipers.
　　In conclusion, to define the quality of competition seems to be far from valuable sense, for no matter what a competition is, an opportunity or a challenge, it will create nutritious elements for our growth.
　　So take a positive look at everything around. Keep our face to the sunshine, and we will not see the shadows.

現(xiàn)代文明的速度已經(jīng)大大加快，在過(guò)去二十年。雖然目睹了小康社會(huì)的急劇變化，人們開(kāi)始重新考慮“生存”的問(wèn)題。在老意義上的“生存”不打擾我們了。相反，我們更關(guān)心的是在人類世界充滿了競(jìng)爭(zhēng)如何“生存”。
比賽總是帶有并進(jìn)的挑戰(zhàn)和機(jī)遇，每個(gè)人都參與。它可能會(huì)出現(xiàn)在入學(xué)考試，在普通班，或在一個(gè)小公開(kāi)演講。這些誰(shuí)無(wú)法檢測(cè)它的真實(shí)性質(zhì)，無(wú)論是機(jī)會(huì)還是挑戰(zhàn)，競(jìng)爭(zhēng)真的是 - 將失去更多的東西還是少，有利于我們的成長(zhǎng)。當(dāng)然，如果我們以競(jìng)賽為契機(jī)，我們將有利于它故意，因?yàn)樗麄兛梢詭椭�我們outstand從平均水平;他們將讓我們成為公眾關(guān)注的焦點(diǎn);他們會(huì)給予我們更多的機(jī)會(huì)和權(quán)利，以取得成功。由于事實(shí)上，機(jī)會(huì)應(yīng)該是更多的感知和熱情大于挑戰(zhàn)。事實(shí)是，但是，我們將失去更多的機(jī)會(huì)，當(dāng)我們選擇采取了“機(jī)會(huì)”叉處于十字路口。其他叉，被我們忽略，被定義為“可怕挑戰(zhàn)”，提供了步行者的比賽更加的機(jī)會(huì)。
我們?cè)谏�活中有這樣的傾向，高估了自己，并保持對(duì)負(fù)面展望的事情輕率的態(tài)度。
我們相信一句老話，“機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)臨，但只有一次，”所以我們隨時(shí)歡迎，并全身心的精神，努力吧。這句話最虔誠(chéng)的信徒都是大學(xué)畢業(yè)生。為什么？有相當(dāng)多的人誰(shuí)充分重視在大城市的立場(chǎng)，愿意涌入發(fā)達(dá)地區(qū)在任何情況下，即使將是他們的選擇太多的不確定性。無(wú)數(shù)的情況下，直接進(jìn)入同一個(gè)凄慘下場(chǎng)：上帝似乎拒絕幫助太多他的崇拜者。
總之，要定義質(zhì)量的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)似乎是遠(yuǎn)離有價(jià)值的意義上說(shuō)，不管是什么比賽是機(jī)遇還是挑戰(zhàn)，它將為我們的成長(zhǎng)營(yíng)養(yǎng)元素。
因此，積極對(duì)待周圍的一切。讓我們的臉的陽(yáng)光，我們將不會(huì)看到陰影。
