This winter vacation, I read a book called "The Old Man and the Sea". This book mainly tells the story of an old man who is alone all year round. Fishing at sea. Once he caught a big fish, but on his way back he encountered a swarm of sharks. The old man fought with all his strength against the shark, but the shark ate all the meat it could eat. As a result, all the old man dragged back was a big fish skeleton.
In life, when we encounter difficulties, we may face them head-on; but we may also stop in fear of difficulties. For example, Aunt Zhang Haidi, her feet were disabled when she was a child, but she did not give in to setbacks. Instead, challenge setbacks with a positive, optimistic, and confident attitude. She posted words on the bedside, walls, and kitchen every day... After Aunt Zhang Haidi's unremitting efforts, she finally overcame the setbacks, won honors, and made her own contribution to the motherland. Mr. Lu Xun once said: "A great mind should show such a spirit - greet the tragic fate with a smile, and deal with your misfortune with confident courage." Yes! When we encounter bad luck and misfortune, instead of complaining about the unfairness of fate, we should muster the courage, cheer up, and fight against the bad luck with a perseverant attitude.
Isn’t this the case for old people too? The old man was not overwhelmed by any difficulties. He tried his best to fight against the hardships in life. The old man also said something that I will never forget: "A person is not born to be defeated. You can destroy him, but you cannot defeat him." When you encounter difficulties, you must not be overwhelmed by setbacks! There can be no failure in a person's life, but if we can gain useful experience from failure, discover the dawn of success, and regard failure as the only way to success. That is the gain from failure. Chairman Mao Zedong once said: "Failure is the mother of success." Lincoln, the former President of the United States, suffered countless failures and blows in his life. However, he was heroic. After he lost his job in 1832, he ran for office 13 times, 12 of which were unsuccessful. The last time, in 1860, Lincoln was finally elected as the President of the United States. He finally succeeded. This was such an exciting thing. His efforts finally paid off.
When we encounter setbacks, we should face them bravely and face them head on. With this kind of courage to work hard and not be afraid of difficulties, we have the spiritual strength to conquer difficulties. As Goethe said: "If you lose money, you only lose a little; if you lose honor, you lose a lot; if you lose courage, you lose everything."

"Man is not born for failure. A person can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated." This is a literary masterpiece by the literary giant Hemingway There is a wise saying in "The Old Man and the Sea". This motto has accompanied mankind through the long years and through countless difficult moments. It is no exaggeration to say that this sentence has always inspired people to move forward bravely. Relentless motivation.
"The Old Man and the Sea" tells the story of Santiago, an experienced old fisherman. Santiago and a little boy named Mallorin became close friends. After eighty-four days without catching a fish, the two decided to go out to sea together. The weather was very good that day when they went out to sea, and the sky was also very kind to them. The two of them easily caught a huge marlin. The two thought they could return to Longlong, but unfortunately, the big fish they caught attracted a siege from sharks. The ferocious and huge sharks have been attacking fiercely, seeming to force and threaten Santiago to give up this big fish. fish. However, Santiago is not a coward. In danger, facing huge threats and facing the breath of death, the old fisherman has been resisting tenaciously. Although the fat and delicious fish was eaten by sharks and was destroyed until only a skeleton was left, Santiago did not give up the hard-earned fish easily.
After reading this novel, I was deeply touched, especially the sentence "A person can be destroyed, but cannot be defeated." It touched my heart tightly, and Santiago's fearlessness in the face of danger , the spirit of meaningless struggle, never giving up, and never giving up deeply shocked me, moved me, inspired me, educated me, guided me, and encouraged me.
Human beings are great, very strong, have great potential, and have great perseverance; but they are also so small, so fragile, and so easy to give up and compromise. When we encounter difficulties and are in trouble, it is not shameful to feel afraid, and it is not abnormal to feel fear. But once we have the idea of ??giving up, the idea of ????escape, and the behavior of compromising, it is the behavior of a coward. If you show it, it will only make people feel cold, look down upon, despise, and stay away from.
In life, you still need a little arrogance and some pride. You can be self-confident and fearless no matter when and where you are. That is a true hero and his true nature! But if you give up on yourself, are greedy for life and fear death, are afraid of hands and feet, and are timid and fearful of trouble, you will only lead to failure, and you will only fall into the abyss, without respect, respect, success, and redemption.
Reflections after reading "The Old Man and the Sea" 800 words in Part 3
Life is an endless pursuit. Regardless of success or failure, it is always a starting point. Success and failure are often just a matter of thought. Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that you do not have the courage to face failure. The protagonist Santiago in "The Old Man and the Sea" uses his practical actions to prove to us that even if he fails, he must become a hero!
"The Old Man and the Sea" tells the story of an old fisherman, Santiago, who wittily dealt and fought with the big marlin after not catching any fish for eighty-four consecutive days. On his way back, he was repeatedly attacked. After being attacked by a shark, only the fish's head, tail and a section of skeleton were left when he returned to port.
“However, people are not born for failure. A person can be destroyed, but cannot be defeated.” In the fight between the old man and the big marlin, the big marlin undoubtedly became the victim. When the sharks arrived, the old man became a victim just like the big marlin. The fight between the old man and the shark is the struggle between the old man's will and all powerful hostile forces, and the shark becomes the representative of the hostile forces. Although all the fish meat was bitten off, nothing could destroy the old man's will. Although the old man Santiago is a loser, his courage to fight against evil forces makes him a hero. All things are destined to destruction, only your actions are eternal. Only in this way will you become a real winner!
In life, setbacks are necessary tribulations. We may shrink from difficult problems, we may be discouraged by lagging grades, we may be troubled by exams... These small setbacks are not worth mentioning, but they often become stumbling blocks on the road to life. Some people, like the old man Santiago, will chase their limits and face difficulties in difficult situations. Even if they fail, they will have a clear conscience. Because you take action, you are a winner! Some people do not have the confidence and courage to face failures and setbacks, but muddle along, and are eventually wiped out of the ranks of success by fate and become idle people. The shark may be the final winner, but there is no doubt that the old man is also a winner. He always knows that this great "masterpiece" belongs to him. He did not surrender or compromise to the sea, to the big marlin, nor to the sharks. We also need to have the courage to fight against fate. At any time, treat failure as a kind of training and let it become the cornerstone for us to climb higher mountains, challenge ourselves, face shortcomings, and exceed limits. You are the most important hero in your life!
In the journey of life, how can there be less failure? Failure is the mother of success. People will always fall down, it just depends on whether you can get up again. Can you still face it bravely? Success always comes after the storm. Only after experiencing failure can you experience the hard-won success. As long as you treat it with a tenacious heart, success will be waving to you not far away.
Part 4: "The Old Man and the Sea" 800 words after reading
A few days ago, I read Hemingway's masterpiece - "The Old Man and the Sea". After putting down the book, my heart couldn't help but calm.
In this book, there is an old fisherman named Santiago, who often calls himself "the weird old man". By chance, he caught a huge marlin. With amazing perseverance, he struggled with the big fish for two full days and finally hit it with a harpoon. But the injured fish bled a lot, leaving a bloody trail on the sea surface, ushering in countless sharks fighting for it. The old man tried his best to fight with the shark, but when he returned to the harbor, he was still bitten by the shark until only a skeleton was left.
I think the reason why the old man was able to grit his teeth and persevere in the dangerous storms and bloodthirsty sharks was related to the rock-solid unwavering faith deep in his heart. And that belief is two sentences - "People are not born for failure" and "A person can be destroyed, but he can never be defeated." In a predicament where many people are powerless, he never thought of retreating, but Be strong and unyielding, facing difficulties and even facing death. Although the old man failed in the fight with the shark, he still maintained his dignity and had the demeanor of a winner.
Part 5: "The Old Man and the Sea" 800 words
This winter vacation I read the novel "The Old Man and the Sea" by the famous American writer Hemingway. I admire the will of the old fisherman in the novel very much. He made me understand that one must have perseverance in order to succeed.
The novel describes an old fisherman who was nearly sixty years old. When he went fishing alone, he caught a big fish but could not pull it up. After dealing with the fish for several days, the old fisherman discovered that it was a big marlin several times larger than his own fishing boat. Although he knew it was difficult to win, he still did not give up. Later, the fishy smell on the big marlin's wound attracted several groups of sharks to eat, but the old man still refused to give up. He finally broke through and brought the big fish back to the fishing port, which impressed other fishermen.
When I read "The old fisherman thought: This is really too close to the coast, maybe there will be bigger fish further away...", I admired this old fisherman very much, Because he had caught some fish at this time, but he did not settle for the status quo, but moved towards a bigger goal. Look at us again. When we encounter a little difficulty, we all complain a lot. We are the future of our motherland, and we should be ambitious like this old man and pursue better and larger goals.
When I read "The big marlin began to swim quickly around the small fishing boat and wrapped the cable around the mast. The old man held the steel fork high in his right hand and used all his strength the moment it jumped out of the water. I threw it at its heart with all my strength, and a scream ended the life of the big fish. It floated quietly on the water..." At this time, my heart fell to the ground like a big stone. I admire the old man's fearless and persevering spirit very much. Although he knew that his opponent was very strong, he did not flinch at all, but faced the difficulties head on. It is precisely because of this spirit that the old fisherman won this life and death battle. We must also learn the spirit of the old fisherman in our lives and do not be afraid of difficulties in order to achieve success.
When I read that the bloody smell of the big fish was smelled by a group of sharks, and they swam over to grab the food, the old man’s left hand happened to be cramping, so he could only use his right hand, using wooden sticks and the claws of the caught swordfish. He used his mouth and other weapons to defend himself, and finally drove away the group of sharks. But most of the meat of the big fish had been eaten, and when the old man humorously criticized his left hand for "resting when it should be working," I was impressed by the old man's optimistic spirit. In life, some losses are inevitable. We should treat them with an optimistic attitude and not be careless.
Finally, the novel begins with a young man seeing an old fisherman measuring a large marlin that is eighteen feet long. It once again describes the hugeness of this fish, indicating the great difficulty that the old fisherman has overcome. Extraordinary.
The novel praises the spirit of the old fisherman who is not afraid of hardships and hard work. We should be like him, not satisfied with the status quo, but positive, persevering in everything we do, and facing difficulties when we encounter them. When it comes to progress, we must never give up halfway. Only in this way can we achieve greater success and victory.
