英語作文范文:做到最好

做到最好

They say "Make the best of a bad situation". But I believe the bad situation makes the best of you. Even the irritations1 of life can be useful. President Abraham Lincoln showed us how this is so.

One of his cabinet appointees2, Edwin Stanton, frequently found flaws with the president and criticized him ---- sometimes in public. Lincoln seemed to show excessive patience with him. The president was asked why he kept such a man in a high level position.

Lincoln characteristically responded with a story. He told about a time he was visiting with an old farmer. He noticed a big horsefly3 biting the flank4 of the farmer's horse. Lincoln said he reached over to brush the fly away. As he did so, the farmer stopped him and cautioned5, "Don't do that, friend. That horsefly is the only thing keeping this old horse moving."

Even life's many irritations and problems have their place. They may cause us to change directions. Or prod6 us to greater achievement. Or keep us moving along when it's easier to go nowhere.

Are you simply making the best of a bad situation, or will it make the best of you?

人們常說:"以最好的方式處理逆境。"但我相信逆境會讓你做到最好，即使是生活中困擾你的事情也可能有用。亞伯拉罕·林肯總統向我們展示了這一點。

埃德溫，他手下的內閣官員·斯坦頓經常發現他的缺點，并指責他有時會在公共場合這樣做。林肯似乎總是對他很寬容。有人問總統為什么要把這樣的人放在高層。

林肯的回答很特別。他講了一個故事。他說有一次他去拜訪一個老農民，注意到一只大馬蠅在咬馬的肋骨。林肯說他伸出手去趕馬蠅，但老農阻止了他，警告說："不要趕它，朋友。馬蠅是唯一能讓老馬活動的東西。"

即使是生活中很多煩惱和棘手的事情也有必要。它們可能會讓我們改變方向，促進我們取得更大的成就，促使我們在容易懈怠的時候繼續前進。

你是以最好的方式處理逆境，還是在它的推動下做到最好？
