Stay Away from Irrelevant Prosperity

The world is filled with dazzling prosperity and bustling excitement. Many of us are (1)____(easy) trapped in emotional manipulation and blind conformity, holding the delusional(妄想的) belief that we gain glory from others’ success. We cheer (2)____(passion) for the splendor that has nothing to do with our lives, numbing ourselves to the truth: irrelevant prosperity is completely meaningless to our own existence.

If we calm down (3)____ reflect deeply, a harsh reality emerges. We work just as diligently, endure the same fatigue, and strive equally hard for life (4)____ others. Yet while some people enjoy luxurious prosperity and endless opportunities, many of us struggle merely to make ends meet. It is extremely foolish to applaud others’ success blindly. Our gratuitous(无偿的) cheers and (5)____(mind) enthusiasm only fuel others’ glory, leaving us stuck in trivial hardships and self-consumption.

Worse still, others’ prosperity sometimes comes (6)____ the cost of our interests. Resource and opportunities in society are limited. Some ambitious people are skilled at manipulating public emotions to serve their own gains. They frequently employ various moral banners—patriotism, national pride, respect for the elderly, and love for children—to package (7)____(they) personal interests as noble public causes.

Under these deceptive disguises, they harvest huge wealth and fame, while ordinary people (8)____ follow and support them gain nothing but empty emotional satisfaction. We unconsciously become stepping stones for others’ prosperity, sacrificing our time, energy and resources to help others succeed, (9)____ deepens our own poverty and predicament(窘况).

True wisdom lies in staying away from irrelevant prosperity. We should break free from herd mentality(羊群效应) and emotional bondage, stop (10)____(worship) others’ splendor, and focus on our own life journey. Instead of wasting effort on meaningless carnival, we ought to polish ourselves, settle down to work hard, and build our own future. Only by abandoning blind conformity and vain excitement can we escape unnecessary suffering and harvest genuine prosperity belonging solely to us.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Alex sat in a café, scrolling through his phone. When the waiter came over, he barely looked up.

“Double espresso(浓缩咖啡). Black,” he said, his eyes still fixed on the screen.

The waiter, Eric, hesitated and leaned forward a little, asking him to repeat it. Alex frowned, anger rising in his chest. When the coffee arrived with a splash of milk, he shouted, his voice sharp enough to turn heads around the café. Eric’s face turned red, and he murmured a quick apology before hurrying away.

A few moments later, a distinguished man, Bill, joined Alex at his table. He had seen everything, his expression serious. “You know,” Bill started, “that waiter is trying his best. He’s worked all morning. Nothing comes for free, especially what you’re asking for.”

“Spare me the lecture and just get me a new car,” Alex said impatiently, tapping his foot. He’d been asking his father for weeks, convinced he deserved a car as a “gift” for doing well in his final exams, never once thinking about how the money was earned.

His father leaned back, crossing his arms, and said calmly, “Wanting a car isn’t the problem. Expecting it without lifting a finger is a bad habit. If you still want that car, you’ll work for every dollar—this café seems like the perfect place to start.”

Alex stared at him, caught between disbelief and frustration. He’d never worked a day in his life, and the thought of serving customers made him shrink back. But one look at his father’s steady expression told him this wasn’t a suggestion. It was a demand. As he glanced back at Eric, he noticed faint scars on his hand—small signs of a life spent working hard. Later, when Eric went to the back to get supplies, Alex accidentally heard him talking to the café owner, his voice low: “I need to save more money for the ear surgery. $9000 is just too much, and I can’t ask anyone for help.” Alex froze, his heart sinking as he realized why Eric often struggled to hear orders.

The next day, Alex stood behind the counter, totally unaccustomed to the work. He fumbled with the coffee machine, spilled a drop of coffee on his shirt, and mixed up two orders within the first hour. Eric, patient as ever, gently corrected him each time, showing him how to mix milk and remember customers’ faces. During breaks, he watched Eric count his tips and whisper about hospital bills. Slowly, Alex began to understand that every dollar Eric earned carried weight. He started arriving early to clean tables and stayed late to memorize menu details. The work was exhausting, but each small improvement brought an unfamiliar sense of pride. By mid-summer, he could handle the morning rush without panic, and he even shared a genuine smile with Eric when they nailed a busy shift together.

At the end of summer, Alex’s father returned to the café and barely recognized his son. The boy who once couldn’t lift a finger now moved with purpose: wiping counters, greeting regulars by name, and advising a new trainee on espresso shots. His hands bore tiny coffee stains and calluses, but his posture was confident. When Bill walked in, Alex handed him a small envelope. Inside was $900—his entire summer earnings. “It’s not much,” Alex said quietly, “but maybe it helps Eric’s surgery fund.” Bill’s stern expression melted into a proud smile. He pulled Alex into a hug and whispered, “That’s the real gift you’ve earned.” Later, Eric received the money with tearful gratitude. More importantly, Alex learned that a car—or anything worthwhile—means nothing unless you’ve felt the weight of earning it yourself.
