Question

I am a karate（空手道）player. I still remember my first karate competition. Like other players，I was very excited about my event. I watched every player's techniques（技巧）so that I could carefully avoid their moves.

Somehow I got into the semifinals（半決賽）.In the semifinals，I got injured. I still didn’t give up and got into final. After all，getting the gold medal was my dream.

In the final competition，there were no supporters on my sides，as I was a new face. Instead，the crowd was cheering for my competitor. I could hear only my competitor's name.

I ignored the crowd's cheering. I kept one thing in mind: focus，wait and attack. I had confidence in myself，and I knew that no matter how strong my competitor was，I had to do my best and fight well.

When the time was up，I was leading with a 3-0 score. One thing I learned from that event is，no matter how strong your competitor is，don't think you are weak or strong. Just give your best shot，and you will make your way to success.

Win or lose，you will learn from every step you take.
