1.learn to walk before you can run

Good morning,my name is.my ID number is

The saying learn to walk before you can run enlightens us about the importance of the foundation, Imagine that when we was a child, we learned to walk first, when we got a bit older, running became so natural to us. But what if we learned to run in the first place. We all know that surely we would fall. No matter what we learn, all need to focus more on the beginning and learning step by step.

History is also abounded with examples proving the above. It would have been impossible for Beethoven to compose the world-famous melody before learning fundamental music knowledge. It would have been impossible for Shakespeare to write beautiful poetry before learning basic writing skills. And, it would have also been impossible for Archimedes to be bold enough to say, “Give me a level and a spot, I can move the earth” before commanding a solid knowledge of astronomy, physics and mathematics.

Someone may say, the modern society is rapidly-developing, and life is like a race. We need to learn run first while there is no need wasting time on slow walking. Is it true? It is likely that those who learn to run first can save more time in the short term; however, without a basic ability of walking, the ones that run the fastest are also the ones that might take the biggest tumbles. The famous scholar LaoZi once said, a journey of a thousand miles begins with the single step. Yes, a seed needs its fixed time to absorb minerals and other nutrients from soil before growing into a towering tree. A large skyscraper needs building from the ground before reaching the sky. We need focus on the fundamental learning before we succeed just like we need learn to walk before who can run. Thanks for listening!

2.In life,it is attitude that matters most

Winston Churchill said, "Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."

Thomas Edison, the greatest inventor of all time, failed more than ten thousands attempts in his quest to invent a light bulb. However, he persisted till he found the right solution. Most of us know about this story, but do we know that this great inventor only had three months of schooling in his life? Or, do we know that the teacher in his primary school said that he was "stupid to learn"? This may seem a little unbelievable, but they're true. He didn't have many years to study in school, yet his achievements were far greater than any of us who're talking about him. Why? The positive attitude he had!

Edison's example shows us the attitude is of vital importance for us to succeed. A good, positive attitude can lead us to success; on the contrary, a bad, negative attitude can only make us to fail ultimately.

I would like to tell you about one of my stories, which involves negative attitudes. In my second year of junior high school, I suddenly lost the interest to study. In my eyes, studying is a mere task, demanding and time-costing. It was much more comfortable to play computer games than doing work. Sometimes I copied other's homework; my mind wandered around in class. You may guess the result: it's a tragedy. I wasn't stupid that time; nor was I "bad". But the lack of a good attitude
