If society is the sea and life is a boat, then ideals and beliefs are the beacon for navigation and the sail for advancement. Life without scientific ideals and beliefs is like a boat that has lost its direction and power. It will drift anywhere in the waves of life, or even sink in the rapids. Scientific and reasonable "ideal beliefs" can not only better guide the goals of life, let people see the hope and dawn of the future, and never lose the direction of progress; they can also provide motivation for life and maximize progress. The spiritual realm of life shapes noble personality and keeps people spiritually enriched and peaceful. And here, the author remembered what the teacher taught us in the ideological cultivation class: "Ideals and beliefs are a matter of ideological understanding, and more importantly, a matter of practice." - If reality is this shore and ideal is the other shore, then only practice can achieve success. It is the bridge connecting the two. Ideals and beliefs can be summed up as the word "ambition", which is not only the yearning for future goals, but also the tenacious will to achieve the goal. There are many aphorisms about "ambition" in traditional Chinese culture - Confucius once said, "Three armies can seize the commander-in-chief." "You can't take ambition away from an ordinary man" - A handsome man can be taken away but his ambition cannot be taken away; a general can be killed but not humiliated. This is because although the army has a large number of people, if the people are not united, its commander may still be captured. Once the commander is captured, the entire army will lose its leader and it will completely collapse. Although there is only one common man, as long as he is truly upright and determined, no one can change him. Such deeds of martyrs who would rather die than surrender are evocative and are countless in history. On the contrary, if a person has no integrity and is not firm in his ambitions, he is likely to be unable to withstand temptation or high pressure at critical moments and succumb to betrayal, becoming a traitor that people despise. Mozi has a saying: "Those with weak ambitions will not be wise." - People with weak ambitions will not be able to give full play to their wisdom. It emphasizes the importance of determination and shows that firm ambitions can give people endless motivation. Zhuge Kongming also said, "Aspirations should be high" - people should have high aspirations. Later people said, "Aspirations should be high, and life is a precious pursuit." "Ambitions should be high, and the heart should be pure." "Ambitions should be high, and the world should be ignored." "Stay high and dare to be the first in the world" has not deviated from its original intention. Everyone is warning themselves to seize a better life and to establish lofty ideals and have firm beliefs. The ancients used ancient precepts to educate us to establish lofty ideals. Brother Zhu Yong and sister Liang Dan guide us forward with their practical actions. They use their personal practical experiences to more vividly tell us about the importance of scientific and reasonable "ideals and beliefs." significance. Based on my personal experience, I want to say two things. One is to aim high, and the other is to start with a single step. Many college students, when asked about study and life, will consciously think of the word "emptiness". Practice has proved that it is not because study and life are boring in themselves, but because they are not well planned. In the final analysis, it is because they do not realize that "emptiness" Ideals and beliefs", that is, the word "ambition", or the existence of this word, but not the correct understanding of the closeness of "aiming high" and "starting with a single step". Aim high - Youth is an important period for the formation of ideals and a critical stage for determination. To have high aspirations means to broaden your horizons, not to be satisfied with the status quo, not to succumb to temporary difficulties and setbacks, not to mention the amount of personal gains and losses. The problem facing our contemporary college students is not only to find a positive lifestyle, but also to prepare for the challenges we will encounter in the future. A large number of facts tell us that those who have achieved great achievements in their careers and made outstanding contributions to mankind have set their ambitions in their youth and worked tirelessly for them. Zhou Enlai set his ambition to "study for the rise of China" when he was in middle school. Li Siguang, Qian Xuesen, Deng Jiaxian and other older generation intellectuals determined to use their intelligence and wisdom to serve the motherland when they were young. Establishing ambitions and establishing high aspirations is a major issue related to the future and destiny of our contemporary college students' lives. Determination must be carried out - practicing for ideals should start with a single step. The long journey requires step by step, and the realization of lofty ideals requires struggle bit by bit. The ancients said, "The tree that hugs each other is born from the smallest moth; the nine-story platform starts from tired soil; the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." To realize lofty ideals, we must start from me, start from now, and start from ordinary work. rise. We contemporary college students cannot live in a daze, thinking that there is still tomorrow anyway, and we will never be able to catch up with tomorrow, no matter how far it is. The famous mathematician Hua Luogeng once earnestly taught young students that being down-to-earth and step-by-step is not inconsistent with ambition and striving for the top. If you don’t lay a solid foundation, you won’t be able to attack the cutting edge or climb the peak. Sometimes it seems like climbing up. , but in reality it is completely empty. Hua Luogeng believes that "Ambitions need to be realized step by step, step by step, step by step, so as not to fail at any step." As a contemporary college student, instead of lamenting emptiness and loneliness when the lights are bright, it is better to think actively when the sun is shining; instead of having wonderful fantasies when the sun sets, it is better to work diligently when the sun rises; In the past years, I have been regretful because my ideals have not been realized. It is better to take advantage of the prime of life and practice it with dedication and struggle.

While we are still young and energetic, let’s shout for our “ideals and beliefs”! While we are still passionate, let’s move forward for our ambition!
