No One Can Be Perfect
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today I want to tell you a story about one of my friends, a lovely and smart girl who is always ready to help others. Being our grade leader, she is good at both work and study. In many people's opinion, she is excellent and perfect. But one day she told me she was gloomy and insecure. People around her considered her outstanding and flawless, thinking she could handle everything. But the more she thought about herself, the more disappointed she became. She found that she was far from perfection. Last week, she didn’t do well in her French quiz, and the day before yesterday, she was late for a conference. She felt depressed and frustrated, because she failed to be a perfect girl without any mistakes.
I was surprised to hear that for I thought she had every reason to be confident. However, the expectation of perfection has become a burden to her. I told her no one could be perfect and I suggested she find her own position.
In fact, people are so eager to be perfect that they demand too much of themselves. They want to be special and unique, and they want to have no defects or weaknesses. However, we can never avoid mistakes and errors. It’s impossible for us to be a superman or a superwoman. No matter how successful we are, there are always some flaws. If we hold that everything should be perfect, we would be overcritical.
My friend now has changed her attitude. She accepts her shortcomings but still keeps a positive outlook. She is even more active and doesn’t allow the mistakes to hinder her pursuit of excellence. And I think that’s the way we should be!That’s all. Thank you!
沒有人可以完美無缺
女士們、先生們，大家早上好!今天我想給大家講一個我朋友的故事。她是一個聰明可愛、樂于助人的女孩。作為我們的年級長，她無論工作還是學習都很出色。在很多人眼里，她是如此優(yōu)秀，近乎完美了。但有一天她卻告訴我，她很迷惘和自卑：周圍的人都認為她很優(yōu)秀，完美無缺，可以對付任何事情;而她想得越多對自己就越是失望。她發(fā)覺自己遠不夠完美。上周她的法語測驗考得不理想;前天，一個會議她又遲到了：很多事情做的不盡完美，這讓她很是灰心喪氣。
聽到這些的時候我很驚訝，我原以為她有充分的理由對自己充滿信心。然而，對完美的期望卻變成了她的負擔。我告訴她，沒有人可以完美無缺的，她應該找到自己真正的位置。
實際上，人們有時過于追求完美而且期望的太多了。我們想要特別，想要獨一無二;又想要沒有缺點沒有弱點�？墒�，人是無法避免錯誤的,有誰能成為超人呢?無論你多么成功，總是有一些事情不夠完美。如果我們堅持要完美無缺，那只能是一種求全責備。
我的朋友現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)改變了她的態(tài)度。她承認自己的不完美，但是保持著樂觀的心態(tài)。她沒有停止追求，反而變得更為積極。我想這正是我們應該有的態(tài)度。
