英文小作文：

Everyone has their own way of getting what they want in life, but some people try to use unethical methods like brown-nosing to get ahead. However, I believe that true success comes from hard work and dedication, not from trying to please others or impress them with false flattery. Instead, I prefer to be myself and focus on what I can do to improve myself and my life, rather than trying to please others with my actions or words. In this way, I can be true to myself and avoid being influenced by others" opinions and expectations, which can sometimes be unrealistic and unhealthy.
