Be the Leading Actor in Our Life

As the saying goes, never go out there to see what happens, go out there to make things happen. It tells us that we should be participants rather than mere onlookers in life.

As far as I’m concerned, three reasons can account for it. First of all, if we never take the initiative to do something, we will just become negative receivers. And then when something terrible happens to us, we cannot make the situation better but have to endure it. Furthermore, life can be colorful if we participate in it. Some people may think there are few things we can change, but that’s just nonsense. Insignificant as humans maybe, we still can make great achievements through efforts. Last but not least, success only belongs to those who strive for it; onlookers can never taste the fruit of success.

In summary, we should be the leading actor in the drama of our life. Only by doing so, can we have a wonderful journey of life.

[译文]

成为我们生活中的主演

常言道：临渊羡鱼，不如退而结网。这句话告诉我们，我们应该成为参与者而不是旁观者。

就我而言，我们应该这样做的原因有三个。首先，如果我们不主动做事情，我们只会成为消极的接受者。到那时，如果有灾难发生在我们身上，我们只能忍受而不能改善局面。此外，如果我们参与到生活中去，生活会变得多姿多彩。有的人可能会觉得我们能改变的事情很少，但事实并非如此。尽管人类可能很渺小，但只要通过努力，仍然能取得伟大成就。最后，成功只属于为它奋斗的人；旁观者永远也无法品尝到成功的果实。

总的来说，我们应该成为生活这场戏剧中的主演。只有这样，我们的旅程才会精彩纷呈。

题目已经给出了主题：我们应该成为生活中的参与者而不是旁观者。因此，我们需要做的就是论证它。举例的方法很多，可以列举事实，也可以从反面论证，即：如果我们一直当旁观者会有什么后果。之后，在第三段需要再次重申论点，升华主题。

[文章大纲]

一、表明写作意图，通过给定的俗语点明主题：应该参与而不是旁观
