背景介绍:
"We are too smart to do the smart things."
I suppose that most of you have watched the movie Forrest Gump, and I highly recommend those who have not to watch it before your composition. A few days ago I read the sentence presented below the picture, and I personally think they are a good match for a writing.
话题:
Therefore, please be generous to give your opinions on this match.
范例1:
Though based on a fiction, the legendary life of Forrest Gump constantly touches every ordinary being who has watched the film. Average people, especially those who are of ambition and smart as they consider themselves, wonder why Gump, "a local idiot" can manage to achieve so many extraordinary successes. The answer, which I completely agree with, is that we are too smart to do the smart things.
As is often seen, many of us can not help thinking about gain and loss when we begin to do something or even just are planning it. The general result for us is things done by halves. However, Gump, because of his not smart brain, he can only focus on the thing itself, no more than of its pros and cons. On the other hand, smart things subconsciously drive us to be smarter. Now, we have smart phones, smart TV, and smart glasses, and I suppose that we someday can get smart cars or even smart androids. There is a fashion of being smart in contemporary culture affeted by the to some extent uncontrollable evolvement of science and technology, and it is such a trend that forces us to greedily do more things but at last get nothing, for multi-tasking is surely a sign of smart stuffs.
Steve Jobs once said, "stay hungry, stay foolish."(不忘初心,终得始终。觉得这个翻译挺好。) Like all other wise quotes, the lesson behind it is simple. But it is we that are too smart to believe that it is simple.
范例2:
In our daily life, we often seem to fall into a strange phenomenon that we are reluctant to do things which we deem as petty. People usually take it granted that those minor things are too much simply that they do not deserve us to spare efforts to. However, most of them ignore the fact that success starts from small things. It is essential to realize that great success is indeed the accumulation of small things. For example, when it comes to cooking, if we are so grudge to be devoted to practicing the skill of cutting techniques and constantly exercising the procedures learnt from teachers by our own, we are unlikely to cook delicious dishes. A popular proverb says, “It’s better said than done”. What matters most is the perseverance of doing something. After all, practice makes perfect.
