Late at night, the moonlight shone through the window sash and scattered all over the floor. I sat at my desk alone, letting my tears "beep, beep" wet the test paper with poor scores.
This final exam, I am far from achieving the expected results. I feel very wronged. Why do I pay so much and get nothing every time? I blame God for being unfair. Unconsciously, I remembered the scene of burning the midnight oil to read a book, and I remembered the scene of my parents sending me bread and milk. Why, why, am I really not learning material?
Forget it, don't think about it, turn on the light and read extracurricular books. I turned on the lamp. I found biscuit crumbs moving on the table. I pushed my glasses to see more clearly. I saw several ants moving the biscuit crumbs, and the biscuit crumbs stopped moving, as if struggling to move. How interesting! I brought a magnifying glass to take a closer look at these little things. I have to put some obstacles in their way. I put the pencil in front of them, only to see them change direction. I was surrounded by my pen. See what they can do this time! I watched carefully with a magnifying glass, and an ant climbed the fence first. This is like a commander. Several ants climbed up one by one. They tried to grab the biscuit crumbs, but failed several times. The leading ant lifted the biscuit residue, and the ant behind pushed it hard. It took about thirty minutes, and the biscuit residue was finally carried away from the pencil by ants.
I suddenly realized that even such a small ant was not discouraged in the face of setbacks, and we humans should dare to face setbacks. I remember again: Edison's laboratory was bombed. In the face of such setbacks, Edison did not lose his fighting spirit, but successfully invented the phonograph in just three weeks; Beethoven was deaf in both ears, which is undoubtedly the biggest setback for a musician, but Beethoven did not flinch in the face of setbacks. He said, "I want to seize my destiny." In this way, Beethoven wrote the world-famous symphony Destiny.
There are storms and thorns on the road of life. As long as we struggle, there will be flowers and applause waiting for us. Celebrities have said that frustration is a bottomless pit for incompetent people, but it is a stepping stone to success for those who dare to face setbacks.
I opened the textbook again, when the first ray of sunshine in the morning entered the room, where I fell and got up again. I smiled, frustrated, I challenged you, and life was more exciting because of setbacks.
Postscript: My later achievements are like sesame blossoms. I am grateful for that sleepless night. On that night, I tasted frustration and read its letter. I appreciate setbacks!
Frustration, pain, life
Taste it and say: the eagle belongs to the same family, and its name is Falcon. Every year during the drought, flowers and trees wither, roe deer rabbits die, and flocks of falcons are exhausted. Or fight the sky, roam the HarmonyOS system, and seek the top of the mountain; Or put away your wings and feathers, jump on the dust and settle for carrion. The former is proud of the eagle, while the latter is ashamed of the vulture. I heard here that the year of drought is also a time when falcons face setbacks and pains. Their aspirations are different and their future is different. Where to belong and what to do.
However, all things in the world, suffering and setbacks are not just that. The vast expanse is dry and there is nowhere. Have you ever seen a big stone flowing through a clear spring? So is the frustration this spring. Those who choose to retire, covered with the shadow of stones, hide in the forest and rot over time, not famous in the world; However, the people who entered were not afraid of obstacles, and repeatedly hit a million times, but turned into a ravine and stopped the boat. Did you see the wind blocking the cliff? The frustration of this wind is also. Those who choose to avoid it are scattered outside the mountain, and they disappear for a while, and the whole army is wiped out; Those who choose to move forward will continue to grind for hundreds of billions of years, and it will be a day covered with red deserts and flying sand. The shape of things depends on what they are and also on setbacks.
On the other hand, in the long river of history, there is no choice but to suffer setbacks. Priscilla's action and Sun Shuaio's official position are all due to the suffering of adversity. However, touching the heart of history, it is not easy to aspire to be ambitious, but not discouraged by being tortured, and resolutely choose to live under great humiliation, and finally have a history of swan song, which makes later scholars sigh; There is also the ambition of the marquis of Wu, who inherited the virtues of the first emperor, devoted himself to serving the country, and pointed his sword at the Central Plains, and the list goes on and on. Although he made a mistake in the street pavilion, he didn't choose to retreat, and then he returned to school. In the end, he became a hero and won an eternal sigh.
There are many people who are unhappy in life, who face setbacks directly, resolve setbacks and complain earnestly, but those who have ambition but don't give up can become excellent people; For thousands of years, every small setback or boasting pain, countless people wandered back, and the person who left his name was not there. It is known that there must be those who fall into the dust and mud, those who die, those who get up, and those who get enough; When an ape climbed to the cliff, someone must have accidentally broken his arm. If he loses confidence, he will die, and if he struggles, he will gain magical skills. There must be people wandering in the wind and rain. People who live in peace find a hole and live in it. Those who live alone and are ignorant all their lives. Those who stand proudly jump into the water and wait for the rainbow to be picturesque, then climb the highway and soak in the breeze. Don't bend over to fight rice. Tao Qian chose to retire and gave up his glory, so "Back to Xi" was told through the ages; In the face of danger and perseverance, Wen Tianxiang chose to die and gave up his official position, but this is a burning eye and a heart that shines forever!
Today, the starting point of struggle
Yesterday passed away silently with memories, today came quietly with hope, and tomorrow is shining and waiting for people. Some people are immersed in memories and nostalgic for yesterday; Some people are addicted to dreams, and they are looking forward to tomorrow. Both people forget that what should be cherished most is the preciousness of today.
Today, is it not a short day? Starting from tomorrow, I will study hard. Today, isn't it 24 hours? I will start working hard tomorrow. Isn't it 1/365 today? I will fight for the cause of * * * from tomorrow (some people think so and do so). Friend, why do you put what you want to do until tomorrow, and everything starts from tomorrow? The sun and the moon are in a hurry, and tomorrow, tomorrow becomes today again. After every today, there is endless tomorrow. Then, when will your determination and your ideal become action and reality?
Shakespeare said, "He who abandons time will be abandoned by time.". I said, "If you abandon today's people, you will abandon him today. And those who are abandoned today will have no tomorrow. "
If farmers don't pull weeds, fertilize and kill insects in time today, how can there be a bumper harvest in autumn? How can people be healthy in the future if doctors don't rescue and treat patients in time today? If the cleaners don't clean up the garbage in time today, how can the city be clean day after day? If today's PLA soldiers are not fully armed to fight, how can thousands of families have permanent peace?
"Tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows; I have to wait until tomorrow, and everything is in vain. " A few short poems are the crystallization of our ancestors' tortuous and difficult life experiences! The ancients felt this, so there were diligent stories of "hanging the beam and stabbing the stocks", "reflecting snow in the bag" and "stealing the wall lightly" Now that conditions are superior, shouldn't we cherish today and seize every minute?
Grasping today means grasping today's knowledge; Grasping today means grasping the possibility of invention and creation. Smart, diligent and ambitious people deeply understand that time is life, even more precious than life. They will never waste today's precious time for tomorrow. Edison, the great inventor, has always cherished his time and used his spare time selling newspapers in the car to do experiments. He drank a glass of cold water when he was thirsty. If you are hungry, chew a piece of bread; Sleepy, take a nap at my desk. Newton, Madame Curie, Einstein ... all ambitious and accomplished people are like this. They will never dwell on yesterday, let alone wait and see tomorrow. They will start from today forever.
On the contrary, for some people, time is like a calendar. Tear this up, and there's another one. After tearing this one, there is still the next one, but I don't know how to leave my hard work and sweat on the snow-white calendar. They spend their time doing nothing, observing and waiting from the beginning to the end of their lives. If a person's life is spent like this, then the lost years are like a sad tragedy. Memories left in personal life history will also be mixed with tears of regret, pain and sadness. ...
The wasted time is damaging the light of life; Strive to open up the road of thought in time. Friends, don't dwell on yesterday, don't wait and see tomorrow, let's start today! Today is the starting point of struggle!
believe in oneself
There is a top acrobatic master. Once, he took part in a very challenging performance. The theme of this performance is to put a wire rope on the cliff between two mountains. His performance is to walk from one side of the wire rope to the other.
The performance is about to begin. The whole mountain is full of audiences, including journalists, organizers, sponsors and spectators. At this time, I saw the acrobatic master go to the end of the wire hanging on the mountain, then stare at the target in front with his eyes and stretch out his arms. The first step, the second step and the third step, the acrobatic master finally passed the customs smoothly. At this time, the whole mountain rang with warm applause and cheers.
"I want to perform again. This time I'm going to tie my hands and walk to the other side. Do you believe me? Can you do it? " The acrobat said to everyone. We know that walking a tightrope depends on the balance of his hands, but he actually wants to tie his hands. However, because everyone wants to know the result, they all say, "We believe you, you are the best!" " "Acrobats really tied their hands with ropes, and then finally passed by in the same way for a step or two." Great. I can't believe it. "All the people applauded warmly. But what I didn't expect was that the acrobat said to everyone again, "I'll perform again." This time, I will also tie my hands and cover my eyes. Do you believe I can walk there? " Everyone said, "We believe you! You are the best! You can do it! "
The acrobat took out a piece of black cloth from his body, covered his eyes, slowly groped for the steel wire with his feet, and then walked forward step by step. Everyone held their breath and worried about him. Finally, he walked past! Applause thunderously! "You are great! You are the best! You are the first in the world! " All the people are shouting.
The performance doesn't seem to be over yet. Only the acrobat found a child from the crowd and said to everyone, "This is my son. I will put him on my shoulder. I will still walk to the other side of the wire rope with my hands tied and my eyes blindfolded. Do you believe me? " Everyone said, "We believe you! You are the best! You can definitely walk there! "
"Do you really believe me?" The acrobatic master asked;
"Believe you! Really believe you! " Everyone said;
"I ask again, do you really believe me?"
"Believe it! Absolutely believe you! You are the best! " All resounding answers;
"Well, since you all believe me, do you want me to put my son down and put on your children?" The acrobatic master said.
At this time, the whole world was silent, and no one dared to believe it anymore.
In our real work, many people will say: I believe in myself, I am the best! Do we really believe in ourselves when we shout these slogans? Will we forget what we just said as soon as we go out or encounter some difficulties?
Only by truly believing in yourself can others believe in you.
Only by touching yourself can you touch others.
We must first believe in ourselves, so that we can find feelings from it. When we feel good, we will have the desire to act. Act more and you will have experience. If we have rich experience, we will achieve something. If we have achievements, we will be more convinced, so as to find a better feeling and take more positive actions. ,,,,, "Mother won three bags of rice."
This is a poor family. No sooner had my son entered primary school than my father died. The girls helped each other and gently sent their father away with a pile of loess.
The mother did not remarry, but took pains to pull her son. At that time, there was no electricity in the village My son reads aloud and draws pictures under the oil lamp every night. My mother took a needle and thread and gently and carefully sewed maternal love into her son's clothes. Day after day, year after year, when the awards were hung on two colorful walls, my son grew up like bamboo in spring. Looking at his son who is half a head taller than himself, the wrinkles in his eyes are full of smiles.
When the trees are full of autumn scenery, my son is admitted to the first key middle school in the county, but my mother suffers from severe rheumatism, can't do farm work, and sometimes doesn't even have enough to eat. At that time, in No.1 Middle School, students took 30 kilograms of rice to the canteen every month. Knowing that his mother couldn't figure it out, the son said, "Mom, I want to quit school and help you with farm work." The mother touched her son's head and said lovingly, "You have this heart, so does my mother, but you have to study." Don't worry, your mother will have a way to support you when she gives birth. You go to school to register first, and I'll deliver rice later. "My son stubbornly said no, my mother said go, but my son still saidno.. The mother slapped her son in the face with a rough hand. This is the first time that her son 16 was beaten.
My son finally went to school. Looking at his distant back, my mother was silently meditating.
Not long after, a late mother arrived in the dining hall of County No.1 Middle School. She limped into the door and panted heavily as she unloaded a bag of rice from her shoulder. Master Xiong, who is responsible for the registration of the palm scale, opened the bag and grabbed a handful of rice and looked at it. He frowned: "Your parents always like to take a little advantage. You see, there are early rice, middle rice, late rice and polished rice here, which simply makes our canteen a miscellaneous rice barrel. " Mother blushed and even said she was sorry. Master Xiong accepted it without saying anything. Mother took out a small cloth bag and said, "Master, this is 5 yuan, which is my son's living expenses this month.". Please give it to him. " Master Xiong took it and shook it, and the coins jingled inside. He joked, "What, you sell tea eggs in the street?" Mother's face turned red again. She stammered thanks and limped away.
At the beginning of another month, my mother came into the canteen with a bag of rice. Master Xiong opened the bag to see the rice as usual, his brow furrowed, and it was still mottled rice. He wondered if he didn't explain it clearly to his mother last time, so he slowly said to her, "We accept all kinds of rice, but the varieties must be separated and never mixed together, otherwise we can't cook it, and the cooked rice is raw." I won't accept it next time. "Mother asked with some trepidation," master, my meal is like this. What should I do? "Master Xiong asked with a smile," Can you grow a hundred kinds of rice on an acre of land? That's interesting. "Being robbed, my mother didn't dare to say anything, and Master Xiong stopped talking to her.
At the beginning of the third month, my mother came again. Master Xiong flew into a rage when he saw rice. In an almost irrational tone, he angrily scolded, "Hey, how can you be stubborn when I say you are a mother?" Why is it still mixed rice? You, how did you recite it today, or did you recite it as it is! "
Mother seems to have anticipated it. She knelt down in front of Master Xiong. Two lines of tears welled up in her sunken eyes: "Master, let me tell you the truth. I pleaded ... for this meal! " Master Xiong was surprised, his eyes widened and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Mother sat on the ground, rolled up her trouser legs, revealing a pair of stiff and deformed legs, swollen into a spindle shape ... Mother wiped a handful of tears and said, "I have difficulty walking in the late stage of rheumatism, let alone farming." My son is sensible and wants to drop out of school to help me. I beat him back to school ... "
She also explained to Master Xiong that she had been hiding something from the villagers and was even more afraid that her son would hurt his self-esteem. At dawn every day, she carried an empty rice bag and leaned on a stick, quietly begging in a village more than ten miles away. She collected rice and sent it to school at the beginning of the month ... My mother was talking, and Master Xiong was already in tears. He lifted his mother up and said, "Good mother, I'll tell the headmaster at once to let the school donate money to your family." Mother shook her hand in panic and said, "Don't ... never, if my son knows that his mother is begging him for education, it will ruin his self-esteem and affect his study." I am very grateful to the host for his kindness. Please keep it a secret for me, remember to remember! "
Mother limped away.
The headmaster finally knew about it. Instead of making it public, he quietly reduced his son's tuition and living expenses for three years in the name of poor students. Three years later, my son was admitted to Tsinghua University with a score of 627. On the day of seeing the graduates off, the county No.1 Middle School was full of gongs and drums, and the principal specially invited the mother's son to the rostrum. The son wondered: several students got high marks in the exam. Why did you invite me to the stage? What is even more surprising is that there are three bulging snakeskin bags piled on the stage. At this time, Master Xiong came to the stage and told the story of the mother begging for her son to go to school. The audience was silent. The headmaster pointed to three snakeskin bags and said emotionally, "This is the three bags of rice that my mother got in the story. This is the food that money cannot buy in the world. Next, please welcome this great mother to the stage. "
The son looked back doubtfully and saw Master Xiong helping his mother to move to the stage step by step. We don't know what our son was thinking at that moment, and I believe that the shock to him is no less than the stormy waves. As a result, the warmest family scene in the world was staged. Mother and son looked at each other. Mother's eyes were warm and soft, and a lock of gray hair was scattered on her forehead. My son rushed to hug her and cried, "Mom, Mom ..." I learned to be strong.
If we say, "strength is an evergreen tree, then it must be perseverance;" If we say: strength is an unbeaten flower, then it must be the sun that never sets in my heart; If strength is eternal wealth, then it must be indomitable.
The figure that stumbled in the wind and rain and finally walked into the classroom like a drowned rat is still clearly visible. This is a wonderful scene in kindergarten. In the face of classmates' laughter, my heart is full of complaints about my parents. But when the teacher praised me as the only good boy who came to school in the rain, I smiled and smiled with relief. From then on, I defined myself as a strong child.
I like eating peaches, so whenever those naughty boys bend their mother's waist, there will always be my giggle in Taoyuan. I dare not climb trees, so my father became a hero in my heart. He always divides the tree by two, and then takes off the coveted naughty boy for me. But that time when my father wanted to climb a tree, I folded my hands and motioned to my father that I would take on this glorious and arduous task. I struggled to climb up, but I always slipped down when I was close to success. I gave up several times, but I felt that I was a strong child, so I was full of confidence and got up the courage to climb up. I ate the sweetest peach in the world that day.
A friend told me a fairy tale that impressed me for a long time: on a stormy night, a small tree cried and struggled desperately in the storm, but the mother of the big tree let him be hit by the storm and never held it in her arms. When the wind stopped and the rain stopped, the child asked his mother aggrieved, "Don't you love me?" Mother tree gently stroked the child's head and said meaningfully, "The night after the storm will be quieter;" After the storm, the air will be purer; After the storm, the grassland is more vibrant; After the storm, you will be stronger. "
We should always remember: we hold up a sky, and the flowers of life bloom most brilliantly under that sky!
