The coldest place in the world is a thought-provoking bilingual book written by Tim Vicari, an Englishman. This book tells a thrilling historical story that happened in the Antarctic. By comparing the course of the British and Norwegians competing for the first person in the Antarctic, it profoundly reveals the truth that "pride goes before a fall" and emphasizes the importance of going all out and trying to face difficulties. The book describes in detail the Antarctic exploration experiences of Scott and Amundsen. Scott's team is advanced in equipment, but overconfident, ignoring the harsh natural environment and the strength of their opponents. The Amundsen team, though simply equipped, is well prepared and pays attention to teamwork and material management. In the end, Amundsen's team successfully reached the South Pole, while Scott's team was wiped out due to bad weather and material shortage. theme: Pride goes before a fall: Scott's team was too confident and despised their opponents, which eventually led to failure. This tells us that no matter how superior the conditions are, we should not take them lightly, or we may pay the price of our lives. Go all out: In the face of difficulties and challenges, Amundsen always maintained a positive attitude and went all out to win. This enlightens us that we should go all out to overcome all kinds of difficulties when doing anything. Environmental protection: The book warns us to cherish and protect the earth's environment by depicting the harsh environment in Antarctica. The earth is facing a catastrophic state, and we need to act and contribute to our planet. Humanity and team: The book also shows the complexity of humanity and the importance of team by comparing the behaviors and attitudes of the leaders and players of the two teams. Amundsen's calmness and reason, as well as Scott's conceit and optimism, have directly affected their fate. This tells us that the success of a team can not be separated from the efforts and cooperation of each member. After reading this book, I was deeply inspired. First of all, I understand that in any competition, we should not despise our opponents, and we should always be modest and vigilant. Secondly, I realize the importance of going all out. Only by making continuous efforts can we overcome difficulties and achieve success. In addition, I also realize the urgency of environmental protection, and we need to cherish and protect our earth more.
