所谓“人为财死，鸟为食亡”，生活中竞争的影子无处不在。竞争让生活充满酸甜苦辣，生活因竞争而精彩。
竞争中充满了活跃的动力，而生活正需要它。正如初三时候的体操比赛，学校通知刚下达，每个年级，每个班级，甚至每个同学都警惕了起来。在平时的体育课上，早上的课间操上，老师几乎不在意，同学们似乎也没当回事，比比动作就算完事。可这份通知让所有人像喝了兴奋剂似的，个个精神大振。课间操上有了老师的亲临监
督，一句句叮嘱。同学们也认真做着，是从来没有的那样整齐规范，似乎早早地在向其他班级*。
下午两点过后的操场上，放眼望去，你都能看到几个班级的同学在那里认真地练习着。有的还带着口号，那气势胜过黄河的磅礴，比泰山更壮观。
老师也不闲着。在淅淅沥沥的雨中，老师带领着同学在练操，喊着口号，声音都变得沧桑了，练操依旧。在骄阳的炙烤下也不例外，老师还在，一个一个动作的纠正，腰都酸了，腿都麻了，直至动作规范为止。谁都没有一句抱怨。看着越来越整齐，越开越规范的动作，同学们的脸上似乎还多了几丝微笑。
比赛随着时间悄然而来。早上八点半才开始比赛，但同学们早早地就来了。天空中雨丝划过，操场又是一列列一排排整齐的队伍练着操。比赛过得特别快。两个班接着两个班，很快就轮到我们班了。期待已久的比赛终于降临在这一刻，小心脏激动得扑通跳，但精神更加饱满了。
比赛很快就结束了。随着主持人口中吐出的成绩，同学们似乎早就料到了，排山倒海般的掌声传到校园的每一个角落，那个笑容我们又见面了――班主任笑了，我们也笑了。好似之前被雨点的袭击，被骄阳的炙烤的烦躁全都消失在雷鸣般的掌声中了。
激动得心情从操场一直被带到教室，带到了回家的途中，还洋溢在了家里。
与其说有了之前的不懈努力，才有今天的精彩，不如说有了今天的精彩，才去为精彩充满动力。

The so-called "people die for money, birds die for food", the shadow of competition in life is everywhere. Competition makes life full of ups and downs. Life is wonderful because of competition.
Competition is full of active motivation, and life needs it. Just like the gymnastics competition in the third year of junior high school, every grade, every class and even every classmate are on guard. In the usual physical education class, in the morning recess exercise, the teacher almost does not care, the students do not seem to take it seriously, even if the action is finished. But this notice made everyone feel like a stimulant, and everyone was in high spirits. There is a teacher's personal supervision on the exercise between classes
Every word, governor. The students are also doing it seriously, which is as neat and standard as never before. It seems that they are learning from other classes early.
On the playground after two o'clock in the afternoon, you can see several classes of students practicing there seriously. Some also carry slogans, which are more magnificent than the Yellow River and Mount Tai.
The teacher is not idle. In the rain, the teacher led the students in the exercise, shouting slogans, the voice has become vicissitudes, the exercise is still. In the scorching sun is no exception, the teacher is still, one by one action correction, waist acid, legs are numb, until the action specification. No one complained. Looking at more and more neat, more and more standard action, the faces of the students seem to have a few more silk smile.
The game came quietly with time. The competition didn't start until 8:30 in the morning, but the students came early. Rain streaks across the sky, the playground is a row after row of neat teams practicing gymnastics. The game went very fast. Two classes followed by two classes, and soon it was our turn. The long-awaited competition finally arrived at this moment, the little heart beat with excitement, but the spirit was more full.
The game was soon over. With the achievements of the host population, the students seemed to have expected that the overwhelming applause spread to every corner of the campus, and we met again with that smile - the head teacher laughed, we also laughed. It's like being attacked by raindrops and scorched by the scorching sun all disappeared into thunderous applause.
Excited mood from the playground has been taken to the classroom, to the way home, but also overflowing at home.
It is not so much with the unremitting efforts before that we can have today's brilliance, as with today's brilliance, we can be full of motivation for today's brilliance.
