今天之所以会发生这样的事还得从几个月前说起了。
在一个阳光明媚的早晨里，我碰见了隔壁的张奶奶，他看我眼睛角那你有一颗黝黑的痣，高兴的说：芸儿，你可真是有福气呀！眼角边上长了一颗痣，那颗痣可是象征着你将来必是有所大作为的人啊！我听后兴高采烈，蹦蹦跳跳地向学校走去。走着走着，看见身旁的丁香花，我对张奶奶的那番话陷入了沉思——既然我将来必有所作为，那我现在又何必为学习的事担心呢，反正我迟早会出人头地！想着想着就忘了时间，等我回过神来，发现马上就要上早自习了，赶紧风驰电掣般奔向学校。就这样，我每次也变得心不在焉了，成绩也就开始了直线下滑的生活，妈妈也就经常去办公室做客了，而我几乎每次考试完都会听妈妈唱得摇篮曲。临近毕业考试，妈妈和老师都开始担心我的成绩了，但那时的`我还深陷在张奶奶的话中，完全没有上进心，妈妈、老师他们担心也无济于事。
在最近的模拟考中，我的名次从名列前茅变成了名落孙山，一直骄傲的得我自然有点不甘心，还错误的认为——可能是时机未到吧，在期末考试那天我一定会东山再起，考出让他们目瞪口呆的分数。就这样，我再一次依赖了老天爷，希望他们能让我大放异彩。
妈，明天就是期末考试了，我一定能夺得魁首，为您脸上贴金！我信心满满的向母亲允诺。好孩子，你终于懂事了！妈妈一脸欣慰的说。
从公布成绩的那一刻，我崩溃了，整个人都软了，心也碎了一地。老天爷，为什么？我是那么的信任你，可你呢？毫不留情将我对你无条件的信任打破，赤裸裸的站在那里，仿佛讽刺着我：瞧瞧现在的你，多么的狼狈，多么的无奈，心里肯定充满了对我的怨恨，可那又怎样呢，现在已经晚了。我心里暗自悔恨着：造成现在这个结果，都是我自作自受，是我自己把一次次机会拱手让给了别人，一直相信那句荒谬的将来必有所作为。
一个轻易听信他人谗言，而没有自己的人生方向的人终究只能在那狭小的空间里折腾，永远不能到广阔的世界中开拓视野，走上成长的道路。所以，不要再听信你身边人的谗言了，更不要为一些荒谬的话而相信自己是一个幸运的人。你始终要坚信实力才是王道！

故事“完璧归赵”与“渑池之会”中蔺相所展示出的卓越的外交技巧着实让我佩服。他既能言善辩，同时也能把握时机，该出手时毫不含糊。两次随赵王出行他都立下大功，以至于回国后受到重用，“位在廉颇之右”。乍一看来，蔺在外交上为国争格功不可没，而廉似乎所争为“位在廉颇之右”理所当然。在这里我为廉颇这位越国硬实力的掌控者鸣个不平。
面对秦王时，蔺相如毫不畏惧，据理力争。对于秦王的挑衅与无理取闹行为，他也能巧妙回击，底气十足，那这些底气从何而来？当然，他自身的胆识不可或缺，而最关键的一部分其实是国家的硬实力——军事力量。秦王自是见惯了大风大浪之人，面对小小蔺相如之置之地而后生的做法，秦王并非不敢他，只不过为一玩物而绝秦赵之欢实属白痴行为，不如送蔺相如个顺水人情。从中我们不难看出，正是因为赵国国力尚且算是强盛，秦王才不敢恣意推诿，才需时刻权衡利弊。也正是因有武将、国家在背后撑腰，蔺相如才能挺直腰杆大展拳脚；倘若你赵国仅是个弹丸之地，像蔺相如这样造次，砍头砍到刀钝了都不会罢休，廉颇也应是大功臣，由此看来在外交中起决定性作用的其实是国家的硬实力。
“弱国无外交”这真是条至理，古往今来无不如此。
第一次世界大战后，中国作为战胜国一方参加巴黎和会。会议上，中方提出收回战前被德占领的胶东半岛等地区。作为一个战胜国提出这样的要求再合理不过了，而和会被英、法等列强控制，他们完全不顾及中方的利益而将德国在战前占领的土地特权等一并移交日本，中国却束手无策。说中国那时无能言善辩之人，我一百个不信，只是因为国家那时国力衰弱，根本没被放在眼里。国家硬实力太弱，软实力连展示的机会都没有。
前段时间，南海问题正闹得沸沸扬扬。具有讽刺意味的是，在一次发言中，现任美国国务卿希拉里强调，南海问题事关美国国家核心利益。很明显这是美国对我国内政明目张胆的干涉，对此我们的`做法却是交涉交涉严正交涉，抗议抗议强烈抗议，没有什么实际行动。有人会说我国外交很软，但往深处想，在巨大的硬实力差距面前我们也只能这样做。虽说近些年我国国际地位逐步上升，美国霸主地位下滑可他毕竟还是世界霸主，不是哪个国家能与之单独抗衡的。因此，外交中起主导作用的定是硬实力。
当然，完全信赖武力也是不可取的，一个完全崇尚武力的国家定不会为世界所苟同，况且在不轻意动武的现代，软实力也是处理国家关系的重要手段之一。
积极发展硬实力的同时兼顾软实力，我国才能长久立于世界民族之林而不倒。
英语作文实力【三】
When I was a freshman in college I watched the film Gua Sha Treatment for the first time, now I am a junior student and I come back to review the movie from a multicultural aspect, I have many different feelings after watching the film again.
At the beginning of the film, XuDatong is given an award and later he delivers a speech. What makes me impressed most is in his speech he says “one day I will become one of you, a truly successful American, today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that.” At that moment Xu thinks he has realized his American Dream totally with his lovingly wife and adorable son. However, I think it is ironical that to make a speech like that and I assume it is made on purpose to hind a clue for the story\'s development. How many non—American people have such a beautiful American dream? One of my classmate studies in American now and before he went aboard he told me his American dream is he can stand at the top of the New York. To be honest, I also dream that one day I can get the Green Card living there happily and successfully maybe working at the Wall Street. When Xu gets the award he thinks he entirely melted in the melting pot neglecting the multicultural obstruct, later the plot goes against the way he thinks. And later Quinlan asked Xu\'why you be the scapegoat of your father?\' Xu answers \'because he is Chinese.\' Then maybe Xu knows that there is always a wide gap between Chinese and American cultures.
The second scene is Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit the son of xu\'s boss, at the middle of the film xu tells his boss that he hit his own son is only to show his respect to his boss John Quinlan, that time Quinlan feels puzzled “what a Chinese logic”,yes, American can never understand such a logic full of Chinese characteristic, because they respect everyone including the children, they won\'t beat a child to please the boss, and there is no such a conception of degree between employee and employer, they feel everyone is equal, which is quite different from china.
Connected to the second scene, the third difference I want to analyze is the care for the children. In America, people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law—leaving children alone at home is illegal, while in China it is so common that almost everyone may experience such loneliness. And Children Welfare Agency does work in America which shows the importance Americans attach to children\'s right. What\'s more, I remember a line \'No one won the case, especially the child.\' In my opinion, it also manifests the universal concern from the American public to the children.
The fourth aspect is following the procedure, in the film, more than there times, the people focus on the rule, the law, the procedure. At the Christmas Eve Xu wants to return back to his home pretending as a Santa Claus, what a pity, the security recognizes him and persuades \'you are always a good tenement, never causes troubles for me.\' And another scene is at the end of the film , the judge says \'I have to follow the procedure.\' However, in China people always have to ask for a favor to do something, and later you have to pay back the favor,for myself, I prefer the American style, strict to the procedure.
The fifth and the last point is the humors, Quinlan says \'you can\'t fall, your health security is the company paid.\' \'Datong, welcome home, maybe next time, you can come from the front door.\' \'dady, why you come from the window\' \' because we don\'t have a chimney.\' I really adore this distinguished American humor, especially in dangerous situations, which is quite rare in China.
That\'s my whole reaction to Gua Sha Treatment.
