On the bustling streets, tricycles, as a unique scenic line, shuttle through the crowd, silently carrying the weight of life. The key component to ensure the safe driving of this car is the inconspicuous brake pads. Although small, it contains profound life philosophy.

Brake pads are the guardians of tricycles. Whenever the driver lightly grips the brake lever, the brake pads quickly rub against the wheels, slowing down the vehicle until it comes to a steady stop. At this moment, the brake pads silently tell us that life also requires timely braking. On the road of pursuing our dreams, we often rush forward at full speed, but overlook the scenery and potential dangers along the way. Only by understanding how to ‘step on the brake’ at critical moments, examine oneself, and adjust direction, can we avoid collisions and deviations caused by blind running. As the ancient saying goes, “After knowing to stop, there is stability; after stability, there can be stillness; after stillness, there can be peace; after peace, there can be concern; after concern, there can be gain.” Brake pads interpret the wisdom of “knowing to stop” in their own way.

The function of brake pads is not only to brake, but also to protect. It trades its own wear and tear for the safety of tricycles and the peace of mind of passengers. This inevitably reminds people of those “brake pads” in life – parents, teachers, friends… They remind us in a timely manner when we make mistakes, patiently guide us when we are confused, lend a helping hand when we fall, and even under pressure and injustice, they always stick by our side, protecting us with love and responsibility.

Looking at the rough surface of the brake pads covered in grooves, this is the secret to enhancing friction. In life, we also need to be like brake pads, bravely accepting challenges and honing ourselves, constantly growing in difficulties, and becoming more resilient and powerful. Only in this way can we steadily move forward on the path of life and reach the shore of success.

Small brake pads contain great wisdom. Let us draw strength from it, learn to brake at the right time, take responsibility bravely, face challenges bravely, and embrace every tomorrow in life with a more composed attitude.
