A deer came to drink from a small river. He looked down and saw his reflection in the river. The deer was very satisfied with his two big, thick horns with beautiful branches, but he looked at his four legs and said, "It's just that my legs are not very beautiful, they are thin and weak."

Suddenly, a lion sprang out from nowhere and pounced on the deer. The deer ran towards a large open space, leaving the lion far behind. But as soon as he turned into the forest, his head was caught on a branch, and the lion chased him and caught him.

When he was dying, the deer said: "I am a complete fool! What I thought was ugly and weak saved me; and what I was proud of cost me my life."

Writing guidance:

To understand the philosophical connotation of this material story, you should grasp the three confessions of the deer to ponder, especially its self-realization before its death - "I think The ugly and weak thing saved me; the thing I was proud of cost me my life." It is the finishing touch. Its understanding of the uses of beautiful and thick antlers and thin and not-so-pretty deer legs actually involves a rational understanding of the aesthetic value and practical value of things. From this, we can associate and extend that in nature, society and real life, aesthetic value and practical value are often not unified into one, that is, the aesthetic is often not practical, and the practical is often not aesthetic; or to be honest What is good is often not beautiful, and what is beautiful may not be true or good. This contrast in value expression often leads to errors in people's understanding, deviations in behavior, and paradoxes in people's behavior. You can express your own opinions based on the above-mentioned relationship between "truth" and "goodness" and "beauty" or the relationship between beauty and practicality, and establish the main purpose of the article.

Facing beauty and ugliness

Rodan said: "Life is not a lack of beauty, but a lack of eyes for discovery." And when our In the process of capturing beauty, the eyes often become biased due to short-sightedness, which can lead to irreparable mistakes. Just like the proud deer is proud of having two thick and beautiful horns, but forgets that this beauty sometimes becomes a fatal factor; on the contrary, some things are easily discarded by us because they look ugly; but many times, Precisely because it is inconspicuous, it has a different kind of power, just like the proud deer complaining about its thin and ugly legs, but it was only relying on it to escape at the critical moment of life and death. Therefore, what is beauty? What is ugly? It is obviously inappropriate to make hasty judgments based on one's own views and preconceptions. We should have a rational vision and long-term thinking to face beauty and ugliness, and avoid being short-sighted.

Everyone has a love for beauty, and there is nothing wrong with it. But what we should be vigilant about is that we should prevent ourselves from being deceived by the superficial beauty and not being able to see the mysterious killer behind it. Just like poppies, although they are beautiful, they are poisonous inside. We need to be careful not to sacrifice our lives for the temporary pleasure of the senses. It is not worth it. The beauty of a person lies not only in appearance, but more importantly in the heart. Shakespeare said: "Beauty without virtue is fleeting, but with a beautiful soul, beauty is eternal." Dignified appearance, decent dressing, elegant words and deeds, these external beauties are important; but if there is no Noble virtues and beautiful souls are mutually exclusive, and their beauty is fragmented, illusory, artificial, and cannot withstand the erosion of time.

Beauty and ugliness coexist in life. Ugliness is often disliked and despised by people; but sometimes, ugliness makes people feel more valuable because of the fragrance of its virtue. In "Notre Dame de Paris", The bellman Quasimodo has a hateful face and is extremely ugly, but it is he who helps the gypsy girl Esmeralda in times of crisis. The terrifying face is in sharp contrast with the kind love; this simple love gives the ugly a different kind of soul-stirring power. From this point of view, if we only see the appearance of ugliness, we will judge it categorically, despise it as useless, or even throw it aside. This kind of judgment and decision-making obviously lacks enough rationality. We should also go deep into its essence and look at the ugliness. The value of learning is to maximize your strengths and discard your weaknesses, so that you won’t have regrets for the rest of your life.

The same is true for measuring the people or things around you; the same is true for self-understanding and evaluation. "No gold is pure, and no one is perfect." A perfectionist mentality that blindly seeks perfection and blames others is not advisable. As the saying goes: "You can't have your cake and eat it too." If you don't have a height or appearance that you are proud of, you don't have to sigh for it; "A ruler is short, an inch is long." Short people are short. The advantage of each person is that ugly people also have their uses. As long as you fully tap your potential and give full play to your advantages, you can still win the favor of the goddess of success.

Ostrovsky said: "The beauty of a person does not lie in his appearance, clothes and hairstyle, but in himself and his heart. If a person does not have inner beauty, we will often be disgusted. His good looks. “The key is authentic beauty.

Therefore, I want to say, people, don’t be seduced by the grandeur of the appearance, and don’t be disgusted by the ugliness of the appearance. Please keep your eyes open and clearly understand the hidden essence!

Student masterpiece two:

What is rare is self-knowledge

“Know thyself!” This is the motto engraved in the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. This sentence reminds the world to learn self-awareness. However, "It is easy to know others, but it is difficult to know oneself." Knowing oneself is a tortuous process. Just like the deer in the material, when he was dying, he suddenly realized that his ugly and thin legs saved him, but his beautiful and thick horns ruined his life. It is so difficult to understand the strengths and weaknesses of one's own body, let alone the correct understanding of one's inner world? Therefore, I would say the most rare thing is self-knowledge.

So, how can we achieve self-knowledge?

First of all, don’t be complacent or blindly arrogant about your own advantages and strengths. Maintaining appropriate humility is necessary for rationality. Isn't it that Yang Xiu in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was killed because he relied on his talent and showed no scruples? Talent is a double-edged sword. If you rely on your talent to show off and don't know how to restrain your edge, you will often get hurt. Therefore, only by learning to hide one's strength and bide one's strength, learn to be cautious and gain momentum, and learn to take advantage of the situation can we continuously develop and improve ourselves.

Secondly, don’t feel sorry for yourself or become depressed because of your shortcomings and shortcomings. Establishing firm self-confidence is a necessary mentality. Shi Tiesheng suffered from a disability and was once confused; but with his mother's care and encouragement, and after repeated introspection, he persisted in writing, wrote about his life with heart, and built a vast and rich spiritual home with sincere words, which made him Life forges iron-like strength and tenacity. Instead of being mediocre and resigned to his disability, he composed a full and high-spirited melody of life with his iron will! It can be seen from this that if you give up on yourself because of your own shortcomings, what you will ultimately trample on is the verdant life.

In addition, you must know how to seek criticism from others. "Those in authority are confused, but bystanders know clearly." Cultivating a broad mind and learning to listen to the opinions of others is the only way to achieve correct self-understanding. Liu Beiqian visited the thatched cottage three times and sought talents in the field, so he won the loyal ministers who contributed to the three-point trend; Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was good at observing elegant words and stimulating the turbulent to promote the pure, thus creating the peaceful and prosperous era of "Zhenguan's Rule". Criticism is as important as self-criticism. Only by being open-minded and doing what is good can we constantly improve ourselves. If you use people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses. If the deer could respectfully invite others to identify and judge the rightness and wrongness of his own opinions when he was near the water, he might not have gone astray at the critical moment and become a meal for the lion.

Laozi said: "Misfortune is where blessings depend; blessings are where misfortune lies." Advantages and disadvantages, strengths and weaknesses, may be transformed under certain conditions. Therefore, we don’t have to be like the proud deer in the material, looking at our own beauty and limitations with a static and unchanging perspective; instead, we must use a dynamic and dialectical perspective to measure the long and short, weigh the good and the bad, and learn to Be good at saving the lost in order to realize your own value.

Students’ masterpiece three:

Practicality is the key to value

The deer was ashamed of itself for having a pair of thin and ugly legs, but at the critical juncture when it was being hunted by a lion But it was able to escape danger because of it; it was also proud of having a pair of thick and beautiful horns, but in the end it got hung up in the forest and became a meal for the chasing lions.

I was inspired by the realization at its last moment: what is beautiful is often not necessarily practical; and what is useful is often not necessarily beautiful. What should we do when there is a value misalignment between beauty and practicality? Are you intoxicated with flashy beauty, or do you cherish simple and practical ugliness? I believe that practicality is the most important thing.

The allure of beauty often obscures people’s awareness of its essential flaws. There are some wild fungi in nature that are colorful and gorgeous, but they are deadly killers. If you are not careful and do not distinguish them, you may cause disaster. Zhao Kuo, who was familiar with the art of war, could talk about military affairs on paper. He was really eloquent and eloquent, which made people admire him. How could he know that he was not a real general who could conquer thousands of miles, and hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers died tragically on the battlefield because of this. "Gold and jade are on the outside, but ruins are on the inside." This is an objective existence. When we face the beauty that captivates our ears and sways our hearts, we must open our eyes wide, weigh it carefully, penetrate the appearance, and see its inner essence, and do not follow the footsteps of those who buy a casket for a pearl.

Similarly, due to the hatred and rejection of ugliness, people often ignore the discovery of their true strengths. The peanuts buried deep in the soil are not as eye-catching as the red peaches and green plums hanging high on the branches, but they are still rich in nutrients. Guo Jiafu, who was once a member of the Chongqing Bangbang Army, had an ugly appearance and did not have a high degree of education at first, but he later became the leader of China's footbath industry with tens of thousands of employees. We must never treat ugly people with a static view. It should be noted that ugly ducklings can also become white swans, gold will eventually shine, and even grassroots people can become heroes. Despite their ugliness on the surface, their inner reality, simple quality, forbearance, perseverance and enterprising spirit will eventually make them stand out.

Simply treating people, dealing with things and dealing with the world based on superficial beauty and ugliness will inevitably lead to narrow and wrong value judgments. How to avoid taking this wrong path? The key is to take off the "colored glasses" and maintain objectivity, fairness and tolerance. For example, when an employer recruits talents, it should not simply select people based on their appearance (height, facial features, etc.), but only their academic qualifications. Instead, they should establish the principle that only their true talents and practical knowledge should be used, and only their moral integrity and conduct should be used. Only by "releasing talents in an eclectic way" can people make full use of their talents and make the best use of them; only in this way can we avoid the regret of leaving pearls behind.

Favoring the "beautiful" and hating the "ugly", seeking perfection and blaming others, and pursuing perfection are common mentalities in the world. If this mentality is not controlled and allowed to grow, it will often cause harm to things, people, and even the country.

I hope that people all over the world will be less self-serving and preferring one to another, and have more rationality to eliminate the false and preserve the true, promote good and eliminate evil, so that the true value will not be obliterated!
