Lead: Faith is a torch, which can burn a person's potential to the maximum and guide him to the horizon of his dreams. We should set up lofty ideals and have firm beliefs: let our ideals and beliefs fly.
Many years ago, a poor shepherd took two young sons to feed others. One day, they drove the sheep to a hillside. At this time, a wild goose flew over their heads and soon disappeared in the distance. The shepherd's youngest son asked his father, "Where did the goose go?" "They will go to a warm place, settle down there and spend the cold winter." Said the shepherd. His eldest son blinked and said enviously, "If only we could fly like geese." Then I will fly higher than the geese and go to heaven to see if my mother is there. The youngest son also said to his father, "how nice it is to be a flying goose!" Then you don't have to herd sheep. You can go wherever you want. The shepherd was silent for a while, and then said to his two sons, "You can fly if you like." "
The two sons tried and didn't fly. They looked at their father suspiciously. The shepherd said, I'll show you, so he flew twice and didn't fly. The shepherd said firmly, "I can't fly because I am old." You are still young. As long as you keep working hard, you can fly and go where you want to go. " The sons firmly remembered their father's words and continued to work hard. When they grow up, they can really fly. They invented the airplane. They are the Wright brothers in America.
Lead: Bad luck threw Bubi from the peak of his life into the bottomless abyss, but he "surfaced" again with a strong will and once again had a clear sky. After experiencing eternal pain, I still maintain my deep love for my dreams; I almost lost everything I had, but I kept my courage and perseverance in life. Keep faith and never give up. As long as each of us has this spirit, nothing is invincible.
Bubi, editor-in-chief of French "She", is brilliant, humorous and original. 1995, at the age of 43, he had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and was unconscious. A few weeks later, he escaped from the clutches of death, but all parts of his body were completely paralyzed. He not only lost the basic ability to walk and talk, but even had to breathe with instruments. His communication with the outside world depends on his only movable left eye. Dark green eyes are wide and narrow, conveying the feelings and information of life.
He reached an understanding with a female doctor who read aloud the alphabet 1000 times and 10000 times and observed the reaction of his left eye. He blinked once to indicate "yes" and twice to indicate "no". She recorded the letters he chose, and the letters were connected into words, and the words were connected into sentences, and the book was written page by page.
"My hands twitch on the yellow sheets, and I feel extremely uncomfortable, like being in a sea of fire, or being alone in an ice room ... Once the pressure of' Diving Copper Man' is released, my mind will be freed from the bondage of pain and fly freely like a butterfly, so I can go to Tierra del Fuego or the palace of King Midas, visit your beloved woman, touch her sleeping cheek near her, build a castle in Spain, and. This is a passage from his book, which can express his wishes.
Lead: The future is more important than reality, and hope is more important than the present. At any time, we should not give up hope, because it is the "touchstone" to create success and create the future. Before Alexander the Great's expedition to Persia, he divided all his property among his servants. A minister asked, "Your Majesty, what do you have with you?" "I wish I only brought this kind of baby." Alexander replied. Young friends, life can't be without hope. No matter what kind of adversity we are in, we should not despair. There is hope when you are disappointed, which can dispel the fog in your heart and embrace a blue sky. Let's live with hope and live the best of ourselves.
There are two blind people who make a living by telling stories and pulling strings. The old man is a master and the young man is an apprentice. Apprentices sigh all day, but they can't learn the craft well. Because he is blind, he often loses the courage to live. One day, the master was ill. Before he died, he said to his apprentice, "I have a prescription from Zhang Fuming. I'll seal it in your piano slot. You have to break 000 strings to take it out. Remember, you must try your best to break every black boy. Otherwise, Zailing's prescription will lose its effectiveness. " The apprentice remembers the master's last wish and has been playing the strings to realize his dream of seeing again.
Fifty years later, the apprentice had a silver beard and his voice was crisp. Finally, the apprentice broke the 000th string, and he went directly to the pharmacy in the city. When he was waiting for the herbs to be retrieved with great expectation, the shopkeeper told him that it was a blank sheet of paper. He understood the master's intention, and he learned the craft. This is the prescription. With craft, he has the courage to live. He tried his best to tell stories, play strings, become an artist and be respected. It was not until he was 95 years old that he passed away smiling.
Lead: An ordinary rural woman is burning with the pursuit of culture and spirit, so she has endured many difficulties and experienced many hardships. Her story makes us understand that when life shines with spiritual light, darkness will be lost at our feet forever. Struggle for the ideal and forge ahead for the ideal will always be a successful run-up device for people. No matter what kind of life, as long as there is the pursuit of light flashing, there will be an ideal light shining, life will be enriched, it will be more beautiful.
She is an ordinary rural woman, but she leads an extraordinary life. In 962, she went to the fifth grade of primary school and liked singing and reading. But that year, she was too hungry to read a book. She heard that the county troupe was going to recruit students, so she applied. However, her father's obstruction cut off her way of studying drama, which also made her stubborn and cooled her learning heart, although she regretted it afterwards.
In this way, she became an ordinary rural woman, but she is different from those women who are used to working in the fields, collecting soles and rubbing hemp ropes. She doesn't want to be a vassal of men, and she doesn't want to be a person without culture and pursuit, because her heart is burning with a desire for culture and spirit. Therefore, when people rest in the field, they continue to collect their soles and rub hemp ropes in the field, while she reads; Going home at night, under the dim oil lamp, she is still reading. At that time, she was out of place with others and became an "immoral" and "not going to live with men". As a result, she was beaten, insulted and discriminated against. The road to the light is full of bumps.
Without economic independence, there is no self-liberation. For the sun in her heart, for the song in her heart, and for drawing the beauty in her heart, she began to learn sewing. In those hard days, she never stopped reading, let alone putting down her pen. She wrote one song after another, and wrote hundreds of children's songs, hundreds of folk songs, love songs and rock music. In 2002, her songs were finally performed in an electronic video media. She never cries easily, and tears are pouring down her cheeks. Touching road of recourse!
Lead: In Nazi concentration camps, in "Fight to the Death", hungry painters needed the sun, even if it was just painting; On Christmas Eve, a ray of candlelight can make dying prisoners sing and see the dawn of freedom. Young friends, what a touching thing it is. Today, far away from smoke and hunger, our hearts sometimes fall into all kinds of invisible mud. At this time, I only hope that we can give ourselves a gift that is not short of color and poetry with the help of a brush that can satisfy hunger and a candle that can keep warm; Let every moment of life be infected with the fragrance of spirit, and let the selfless shining lead the ordinary soul to the palace of sunshine.
Both stories took place in Nazi concentration camps during World War II.
A hungry painter was lucky enough to get half a loaf of bread by accident, but he didn't swallow it. He exchanged mouth-watering food for something he needed more in life-a piece of paper and a carbon pen. He must draw! Because if there is no sunshine in the painting, his soul will starve to death before his body.
In the dark and damp cell, there are several skinny people who may be taken away by death at any time. One of them is enviable because he hides a long white wax in the package. Almost all his friends have seen him eat candles like sausages when he is hungry. One night, the evil wind roared and the stars hid. In the darkness, someone sighed like a ghost. Suddenly, a trembling voice said, "Is it Christmas today?" Everyone is inexplicably excited-these people who have long been forgotten by time agree with the saying of "Christmas" without exception. On this festive night, which should be fragrant with flowers and wine, they can only feed their desires with memories ... After the excitement, a poisonous snake-like idea stubbornly lingers in everyone's mind: I am afraid this is the last Christmas in this life, right? A rustling sound is the sound of opening the package. Everyone hates to guess that it must be the guy with the "sausage" who wants to enjoy the Christmas dinner alone. However, they guessed wrong. The man lit the candle without saying a word. Dying friends were awakened by this sudden candlelight, and the song of cells that was just dead suddenly generate! In this long-lost luxury candlelight, everyone really saw the dawn of invincible freedom.
Lead: I am in prison, but my heart is wandering freely. Why is this possible? It's only because he has a firm belief. If you want to stay young and get out of trouble, you must let the ideal fire in your heart burn forever. And some people are not in prison, but their hearts seem to be in prison. Can such a person make a difference?
Professor Hua is a philosopher, because he wrote an "out of line" article, he was first criticized and then went to jail.
In a small cell, you can't read, write or even watch the wind. Professor Hua was very lonely. He said to the guard outside the door, "Give me a piece of chalk." The guard asked, "What do you need chalk for?" Professor Hua said, "I want to draw." The guard said, "No". The guard didn't give me chalk, so Professor Hua found it himself. He found that the walls of the small cell were plastered. Over the years, some mortar skins cracked and fell off. The falling grey sand can be used as chalk, and the black wall is a ready-made blackboard.
Professor Hua has plenty of time. He slowly drew a gate on the wall, and then drew the sea, distant mountains, blue sky and white clouds outside, as well as a sailboat and several flying seagulls. When the painting was finished, Professor Hua enjoyed it alone, and his thoughts crossed the cell and went outside. Professor Hua fantasizes about driving a boat and flying between the blue sky and the sea with seagulls. Thinking about it, he smiled.
The doorman found Professor Hua's abnormality and asked sharply, "What are you laughing at?" Professor Hua said, "I drew a picture. Come and have a look. " The guard went in and looked at it. He said angrily, "Wipe it up quickly." Professor Hua said, "Why do you want to wipe it? The sea, distant mountains, blue sky, white clouds, boats, birds, these things do not compete with people and will not cause trouble. " The guards won't force Professor Hua to wipe it if they think about it.
From then on, Professor Hua looked at the scenery outside the "door" every day and thought to himself: Is Africa beyond the sea? Africa has endless grasslands, where lions, zebras and antelopes run ... sometimes he thinks: Where did those seagulls come from? Where are they going? Does the seagull have a hometown after all? How do they have children? Facing this landscape painting on the wall every day, Professor Hua has novel associations, as if he is not in prison, but traveling and going to new places every day. Africa, Europe, America, Oceania, let him come and go freely.
When Professor Hua imagined that the other side of the sea was an island in the Pacific Ocean, and he was imagining the strange customs of this island, the guard opened the cell door and said, "Old professor, you are free."
When Professor Hua walked out of his cell, he found that two years had passed and nine guards had changed, but the blue sky and the sea remained unchanged, the ship was still sailing and the birds were still flying.
The article that put Professor Hua in prison at the beginning is now respected by the world. People who criticized Professor Hua before came to apologize. They said guiltily, "Hua Lao, you have suffered." Professor Hua said with a smile, "I have turned bitterness into pleasure. I have been in my cell for 20 years, but my heart travels around the world every day. Look, am I getting younger and younger as I live? " Professor Hua doesn't look old at all, but his colleagues are senile. Professor Hua said, "You live more tired than me!"
Lead: Each of us had beautiful dreams when we were young, and it was these dreams that planted the seeds of success for our future. Because dreams are hopes and are most closely related to the potential in our nature. But dreams are often far from reality, so they need to be managed. Managing dreams is to turn seemingly distant or even absurd dreams into reality step by step through our unremitting efforts. A philosopher said, "All the success and wealth in the world begin with an idea!" Dreams that start from our hearts! "In other words, success is actually very simple: you have a dream first, then try to manage your dream well, and don't give up no matter what others say.
He grew up in an ordinary farmer's home. The family was very poor, and he followed his father to farm when he was very young. While resting in the field, he looked into the distance and lost in thought. Father asked him what he thought. He said that when he grew up, he would neither farm nor work. He wants to stay at home every day and wait for someone to send him money. Hearing this, the father smiled and said, "ridiculous, stop dreaming!" I promise no one will mail it to you. "
Then he went to school. One day, he learned the story of Egyptian pyramids from textbooks and said to his father, "I want to go to Egypt to see the pyramids when I grow up." Father patted him on the head angrily and said, "That's ridiculous! Don't always dream. I promise you can't go. "
Ten years later, the teenager became a young man, was admitted to the university, became a reporter after graduation, and published several books every year. He sits at home and writes every day. Publishing houses and newspapers sent him money home. He used the money in the mail to travel to Egypt. He stood under the pyramid, looked up, remembered what his father said when he was a child, and silently said to his father, "Dad, nothing can be guaranteed in life!" " "
He is Lin Qingxuan, the most popular essayist in Taiwan Province Province. Those dreams that his father thought were ridiculous and impossible to realize made him realize after more than ten years. In order to realize this dream, he began to read and write at 4 o'clock every morning for more than ten years, insisting on writing 3,000 words every day, which is more than one million words a year. He fought hard, worked hard and made unremitting efforts, and finally realized his dream.
Lead: As long as the goal in mind is clear, there is hope of victory. If your goal in mind is vague, even if victory is close at hand, you may give up halfway. This is a truth that Florence chadwick, the first woman to swim across the Catalina Strait, told the world with her actions. We set our goals early, look at her, stick to her and run to her unswervingly.
Florence chadwick looked ahead and could see nothing but thick fog. She is numb all over and has been swimming for nearly six hours. She is already the first woman to swim across the English Channel from two directions. At the age of 34, her goal now is to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the coast of California.
On the morning of July 4, 952, the sea was cold and foggy, and it was difficult for her to even see the ships protecting herself. She endured the cold sea water and continued to swim forward.
On a boat next to Florence, her mother and coach encouraged her and told her that it was not too far. However, all she saw was fog. They advised her not to give up, and she never thought about giving up, but then … when there was only the last half mile left, she offered to give up.
A few hours later, she told a reporter that she was still trying to calm her cold body. "Look, I'm not making excuses for myself. However, if I can see the land, I may have succeeded. " What depressed her was neither fatigue nor the cold sea, but the fog made her unable to see her goal clearly.
Two months later, she started again. Although there was heavy fog this time, she swam with unshakable confidence, and her goal clearly came to mind. She knew that somewhere behind the fog was land, and this time she succeeded. Florence chadwick became the first woman to swim across the catalina Strait, two hours ahead of the men's record.
Lead: The child of a poor black family grew up in a notorious slum. In the era when American hippies were prevalent, it was difficult to get ahead without special circumstances, but roger rawls became the governor. What is the reason for this amazing result? It is the word "faith". The word "faith" seems simple, but it actually contains profound truth and can produce magical power. In the following story, faith changed roger rawls's fate. Young friends, let's establish a firm belief and sprint to the ideal height. You can also be a "governor".
Roger rawls is the first black governor in the history of new york. He was born in the notorious Dashatou slum in new york. Children born here rarely have decent jobs when they grow up. However, roger rawls is an exception. He not only went to college, but also became governor. At the press conference of the inauguration ceremony, he made no mention of his struggle history. He only said a very strange name-Pierre Paul. Later, people knew that Pierre Paul was a principal of his primary school.
1996, Pierre Paul was hired as the director and principal of Daxiong Primary School. That was when hippies were in vogue in America. When he entered Daxiong Primary School, he found that the poor children here were more idle than the "lost generation". They skipped classes, fought, and even smashed the blackboard in the classroom. When roger rawls jumped down from the windowsill and reached for the podium, Pierre Paul said, "I can see from your slender little finger that you will be the governor of New York in the future." At that time, roger rawls was surprised, because he was so big, only his grandmother ever encouraged him, saying that he could be the captain of a 5-ton ship. This time, Mr. Pierre Paul said that he could become the governor of New York, which really surprised him. He wrote this sentence down and believed it. From that day on, the governor of New York was like a flag flying in his heart. His clothes are no longer covered with mud, and his words are no longer mixed with foul language. He began to become upright and became the monitor. In the next 40 years, there was not a day when he didn't ask himself to be governor. At the age of five, he really became governor.
In his inaugural speech, there was a passage like this. He said that in this world, faith is something that anyone can get for free, so successful people start with a small belief.
Bruno (548-600) was a famous Italian scientist, astronomer and atheist in the 6th century. He was forced to suffer for a long time because he doubted Croatian teachings. He was imprisoned in a dungeon for eight years. He argued with theologians countless times and was tortured countless times, but his fighting spirit was still high and he stuck to his faith. In any case, the Vatican failed to make Bruno take a half step back from the truth. On February 8, 600, Pope Clemens VIII ordered him to be burned at the stake. Bruno looked at the frightened cardinals in the court and calmly announced, "You are more afraid of me than I heard the verdict!" " This article is the end of the fifth dialogue in his book On Infinity, Universe and World. This article is full of * * *, full of desire for liberation, full of strong fighting spirit, and profoundly reflects the needs of the times to break the ideological cage. Filoteo in the article is Bruno's own incarnation, and Oberdino's appeal in the article can be regarded as Bruno's inner cry for himself. In human history, Qian Qian Bruno did not fear Yin Wei and sacrifice, and gave his precious life to defend scientific truth. They live in people's hearts forever.
Come on, my dear Filoteo, I hope nothing can force you to give up your wonderful theory, whether it is the rude curses of ignorant people, the indignation of mediocre people, the anger of dogmatists and dignitaries, the nonsense of self-protection, shocking public opinion, the slander of liars and jealous people, it will not damage your lofty image in my mind.
Stick to it, my Filoteo, and stick to it! Don't lose heart, don't shrink back, even if that clumsy and ignorant and powerful high court uses all kinds of plots to frame you, even if it tries to resist the goodwill and victory of your work by all possible means.
Don't worry, this day will come. At that time, everyone will understand what I understand, and then everyone will admit that it is so easy for everyone to agree with your point of view and praise you, just as it is so difficult to compare with you. All people, not from head to toe, will one day be driven by conscience and give you the praise you deserve. You know, in the final analysis, it is the inner teacher who opens the eyes of reason, because we understand that ideological wealth is not obtained from the outside, but from the inside and from our own spirit. In everyone's heart, there is a sound reason and a natural conscience, which stands above Zhuang Yan's rational court, judges good and evil, light and darkness, and makes a fair judgment. Thanks to this judgment, the most loyal and outstanding defenders of your good cause can finally ignite the fire of the uprising from the depths of everyone's consciousness.
And those who dare not make friends with you, those who timidly and stubbornly defend their meanness and ignorance, those who insist on being naked sophists and sworn enemies of truth will find judges and executioners in their conscience, and those who avenge you will be able to punish them more mercilessly in the depths of their own minds, so that they can no longer hide these views from themselves. When the blow given by the enemy is repelled, let a large group of strange and vicious Ahmed (the nemesis in Greek mythology, tormenting people's souls in hell) surround him, let his anger pour out on ... the enemy's internal motivation and torture him to death with his own teeth.
Forward! Continue to teach us the truth of the sky, the truth of planets and stars, and explain to us what is the difference between one and the other in infinite celestial bodies, and why it is not only possible but also inevitable for infinite reasons and infinite functions in infinite space. Teach us what real entities, substances and movements are, who is the creator of the whole world, and why everything we feel is made up of the same elements and elements. Tell us the theory that the universe is infinite. Completely overthrow these imaginary sky and sky-they seem to separate so many sky and natural fields. Teach us to laugh at these limited horizons and the stars attached to them. Let your invincible argument fire up at once and destroy the iron wall and sky shell that the first sponsor believes in. Down with vulgar beliefs and the so-called fifth essence. Give us a theory about the universality of the earth's laws on all celestial bodies and the center of the universe. Completely smash the external promoters and the so-called layers of boundaries between heaven and earth. Open the door to us and let us see the vast and unified planetary world through it. Tell us how other worlds ride in the etheric ocean like us. Explain to us how the movements of all the worlds are controlled by the power of their own inner souls. And teach us to advance unswervingly on the road of understanding nature under the guidance of these viewpoints.
