Before entering the college, (1)I have known the college was not nearly as perfect as my inner college expected. I was thrown into deep sorrow, feeling I was abandoned by the world. For a long time, I was so depressed that I even started to doubt the significance of life. Just like a goat losing his way, I got dazed when thinking about my future. The remote distance between reality and ideal did make me sad. How pitiful I was!
It was (2)not until I began the life of the college that I got over disappointment.
However, later at college, I gradually came to realize that things seem to turn different from what I often expect. I can express myself to the fullest; I can acquire more freedom to act some beneficial things in my own way; I can make great progress with my exertion and perseverance. Above all, I'm full of confidence and enthusiasm.
The sky seems to be clear once again.
In order to run after the unexpected result, (3)we always forget to admire the beautiful scenery of the both sides of the road leading to front. (4)Each day that we wake is a new start, another chance. Why waste time on self-pity, sorrow and sloth? Life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing well those you hold. Now I am determined to believe in the saying that “He who laughs last laughs best”.
Yesterday is past.
Tomorrow is mysterious.
Only today is gifted.
Grasp it tightly and be ready to set off!
