感謝對手 Be Grateful to Your Rival

Life is full of competitions. When we are at school, we always want to be the most excellent student and win teachers’ praise. When we work, we not only need to compete with our co-workers, but also need to beat other companies for more profit. The rivals are everywhere, which help us to be stronger.

生活充滿了競爭。我們在學(xué)校的時(shí)候，我們總是想成為最優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生，贏得老師的表揚(yáng)。我們工作的時(shí)候，不僅需要與同事競爭，同時(shí)為了獲得更多的利潤也需要擊敗其他公司。處處都是競爭對手，他們使我們變得更強(qiáng)大。

When we are competing with rivals, we are gaining knowledge. To be the winner, we will have the motivation to improve ourselves, as so to have advantages over others. The lack of competitors is not good for people, because the comfortable situation will easy make us to loss motivation to move on.

我們與對手競爭的同時(shí)，我們也收獲了知識。為了成為冠軍，我們有了動(dòng)力去提升自己，這樣才會(huì)比他人更有優(yōu)勢。缺乏競爭者對人們并無益處，因?yàn)槭孢m的環(huán)境很容易使我們失去前進(jìn)的動(dòng)力。

The good rival also can be our friend. In the processing of competition, both of you get improved. For example, in the debate competition, when two side are in the opposite opinion and both defend for their ideas, it is easy involving personal emotion. If the rival breaks the awkward situation with smile and humor, showing that this is a nice talk, then you won’t lose your temper. This is learning.

良好的競爭對手也可以成為我們的朋友。在競爭過程中，雙方都得到了進(jìn)步。例如，在辯論比賽中，當(dāng)雙方意見不統(tǒng)一時(shí)，都在捍衛(wèi)自己的觀點(diǎn)，就很容易涉及到個(gè)人的情感。如果競爭對手用微笑和幽默打破這尷尬的局面，表示這是一個(gè)友好的談話，這樣你就不會(huì)發(fā)脾氣了。這也是學(xué)習(xí)。

Anyway, we should be grateful to our rivals, because we need to make progress all the time, or we will be kicked out.

不管怎樣，我們應(yīng)該感激我們的競爭對手，因?yàn)槲覀冃枰恢痹谶M(jìn)步，不然就會(huì)被淘汰。
