Recently I have stayed up late to be prepared for a competition with my colleagues. When I was told the result of the competition, I was kind of disappointed and unbelievable. The first reflection was that I couldn’t accept it and thought that something must be in the dark, because some invited the judges to have dinner before the competition.
After preparing for a long time, I had confidence in myself and thought I would do it better. However, the result was not what I wanted and expected. In the beginning, there is a voice in my heart saying that there is unfair. I felt down too, because I had put my heart into it and tried my best to do it well. And my colleagues said that I would be great and succeed.
Being told such a result, I couldn’t believe it at first and felt very embarrassed. I was even afraid of being asked about the rank by my some colleagues. Gradually, I was clear that I couldn’t change the result anymore. What I acquired was not the failure from the contest, but the lesson. I did spend a lot of time and energy on it but that couldn’t lead me to have a good ending. In others’ eyes, they might think that there were some ways to be perfected and other contestants did better than I.
The most important is that I need to do more things to perfect myself and improve my abilities. During the process, I know that if you don’t put your heart into it, you can’t succeed easily. Others who are cleverer and more able than you are very hard-working and have a strong will to face all the contestants.
Luckily, I realize that there is a huge distance between me and the excellent contestants. So I have no choice but to face the failure and there is no excuse for me to satisfy with the status quo. From then on, I still fight on and now I’m really grateful for this competition. That taught me a good lesson that there is a long way to succeed.

- It is significant to gain something during the process, and there is no ending in the course of improving ourselves and pursuing success. Look at the bright side and fight on. Cheer up.

- How to release the nagative mood is very important.we face different challenges all the time,the entrance exam,applying jobs.in china,like me,all the students need experience a variety of tests to get a good ranking because the fierce competition.when I was in high school,I cared the exam ranking very much.It frustrated me when I thought I could get good grades but the results were not.The bad results made me upset and fell in a vicious cycle.In the major exam,I became nervous and couldn't forgive my errors.It's a torture of mind.When I came to college,I started change my mind when I faced failure,It made me relax and sometimes gave me some surprise,It would give me unexpected results.Now,I enjoy the competition, eojoy the process.trying best but preparing the worst,so you can more calm in the face of failure。

- In your passage, you mentioned that someone invited the judges to have dinner before the competition. It's definitely unfair. But in China, it's normal. Additionally, the world is really unfair. What we can do? My suggestion is that let the unchangable things go and do something what we can do. Let me give you an example:One of my teacher was a very excellent student in his studenthood, he had gained the qualification to be recommanded to a higher university, however, someone who had the special background replaced him. My teacher didn't take too much time to care about the matter. He knew that he should enrich himself to reach a higher goal. Finally, he did it. In another hand, it's really not easy to access success. You have to do more efforts to promote your ability. It will take a long time. You can persist it when you imagine the success that you get. Most importantly, you have to learn to be strong in bad times. Anyhow, I wish you can adjust yourself well as soon as possible and devote yourself to another matter wholeheartedly.

- Maybe someone deem the consequence very important, but in my opinion, result cannot represent everything.When you do something, you go through the process, you enjoy it and you learned new things from it, these will give you a far-reaching influence,It's more important than the consequence itself. So, find out a right attitude to face gain and loss in life you will feel better.
