II. Sample essay 'No challenge, no glory' (Standard)

Today, I just received news that my middle school teacher has passed away, she was in the final stage of leukemia. My class and I burst into tears, although she has gone far away, her image still lingers deep in the minds of us, her students. The words of the proverb 'No challenge, no glory' suddenly rush back, her gentle voice echoes in our ears. Perhaps that was the last lesson she devoted to our class. 'No challenge, no glory' - a lesson, a message of great value from ancient times...

Before contemplating the proverb, let's define what 'no master, no success' means. This proverb, originating from ancient times, emphasizes the crucial role of teachers in education. 'No master, no success...' - is a challenge that without a teacher, can one gain knowledge? 'No master' - signifies the absence of teaching and imparting knowledge by the teacher. 'No success' - here refers to the fame, career, or success of the student. The essence of the proverb is that the success of a student is partly due to the teaching efforts of the teacher.

So why say 'no master, no success'? We all know that in the olden days, students didn't have diverse sources of knowledge to explore. The only place that could help them study and accumulate knowledge was with the teacher. It can be said that teachers were highly respected and revered. Teachers were seen as the source of all knowledge; students had to come to school to learn from books taught by the teacher. And today? Since we learned to speak and spell, we've been guided by teachers, shaping each letter, practicing reading, and singing. As we grew up, learning to read and write, they helped us explore the world through words. They taught us to calculate the distance from Earth to the Moon, the Sun; they showed us how to view life through the lens of literature; they helped us differentiate between plants with seeds and amphibians,... Teachers not only impart knowledge but also mold us on the right path, guiding us towards good things. It's not uncommon that when you meet a kindergarten or elementary student, you'll hear them praise their teacher like an idol. Parents' words may not be heard, but the teacher's teachings will always be remembered. Throughout our lives, from the time we understand until we grow old, the shadow of the teacher always stands behind, watching over us. It's no wonder that the position of the teacher is extremely important in the journey of each individual's growth.

'First self, second self' - one letter is a teacher and half a letter is also a teacher - one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a teacher. The word 'teacher' has become extremely sacred and noble throughout the ages. Nowadays, we see society developing more and more, and the role of the teacher is no longer as important as before. In fact, they are no longer as respected as before. But even so, the teacher still plays a leading role. They become guides, provide direction, create conditions and foundations for students to explore knowledge themselves. Teachers are proactive and flexible, creating conditions for students to explore everything on their own, constantly striving to make students interested in learning. I still remember a story about a literature teacher, every day she would create interesting things for students to actively study literature more. For each work, teacher Nguyen Thi Hong Nhung (born in 1994, teacher at Binh Hung Hoa High School, Binh Tan District, Ho Chi Minh City) wrote lyrics based on existing music. She combined music with literature to make it easier for students to understand and remember the lesson. If there were no dedicated teachers like this, would students be interested in learning? Gradually, as technology develops rapidly, people are slowly forgetting the role of teachers. But we cannot deny that no matter what era it is, the position of the teacher may change, but the role, the significance of the teaching profession, of teachers remains unchanged. Teachers are always trusted and respected. How many successful people have never been to school, never received guidance from teachers? We all know famous people like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, even though they dropped out of college, pursued their passions, they still received knowledge from teachers when they were young. Teachers are like boatmen, steering to guide our boat of knowledge to a safe future. If parents give us a form, teachers give us a thousand valuable knowledge.

Someone once asked me, if it's said 'no master, no success,' then why is there also the saying 'learn from the teacher, not just learn from the friend'? Actually, these two proverbs should be placed in different contexts. There are things that should be learned at school, learned from teachers. But there are also things learned from friends that are better. For example, every time the teacher gives homework, they will explain it once, maybe we don't understand and are reluctant to ask again. At that time, friends will be needed. In people of the same age group, explaining how to understand, how to do things can sometimes be easier to absorb. That's common. No one in this world is perfect. And our teachers are the same, there will be moments when we unintentionally realize that sometimes learning from friends is simpler. But even so, receiving knowledge from teachers, from the clear educational environment, will definitely be more certain and correct. The teacher still plays a very important role in the lives of students.

Surely, among us, everyone has a teacher, a deeply engraved teacher. I am the same, I want to send my most sincere thanks to my literature teacher, thank you for helping me nurture the dream of becoming a teacher, standing on the lectern. To me, the teacher is always the person I respect, admire, and love the most!

Our folk saying goes:

'To be successful, encourage your children to love their teachers'

Yes, that's right, no matter what era, what stage, how society develops, the position of the teacher remains the same, always cherished in the hearts of generations of students. Closing the memories of her departure, hurriedly folding the pages of the book, I recite 'no master, no success'... 'no master, you... succeed'...
