Zhao Xinyu believes she has a competitive edge as the only one among the three familiar with making profiteroles. Lu Jin admits he has never tried baking, while Liu Rui's observation captures the essence of the game: anyone could stay, and anyone could be eliminated.
From the perspective of the starting point, Zhao Xinyu holds an initial advantage, but this sense of familiarity eventually becomes an invisible pressure. In contrast, Liu Rui's insight into the uncertainty of the competition reveals the true nature of the game. Because Lu Jin has no prior experience in baking, he approaches the task with extreme caution and precision—a quality that proves essential for perfecting the dish.
We should learn to remain humble on the same starting line and avoid becoming overly preoccupied with being better or worse than others. Only with a sincere and dedicated attitude can we remain calm under pressure. For those of us in our senior year of high school, even if there are differences in our current abilities, we must not become complacent or overly confident. We must realize that competition is full of variables, and any outcome is possible. Avoid excessive self-confidence, as it can lead to an inability to handle setbacks and cause you to lose your composure.
