A dream is something that makes you feel that persistence is happiness and joy. It can even be regarded as a kind of belief.
Happiness is the joy of the soul, spiritual excitement and satisfaction. This is the state of life I most hope for. Happiness seems easy, but as we grow older, it seems increasingly difficult to gain a sense of achievement. Only those who keep chasing their dreams will gain the greatest happiness in life
Everyone must have dreams on the way to growth, and if a person wants to be happy, he must have dreams. People become different because they have dreams. Just like Jack Ma, his dream is to help more people realize their dreams.
A person can be very poor, trapped, and humble, but he cannot have no dreams. As long as the dream exists for one day, as long as the dream exists for one day, you can change your situation. ----Oprah
If we lose our dreams, we will live in a hazy state, without knowing joy, progress, or even the meaning of life. Dreams make our lives shine brighter, and dreams make our lives more exciting.
Regarding dreams, based on my own understanding and experience, I think:
1. Dreams can be big or small. Some people are so old that they want to explore the universe, oceans, astronomy, and geography; some people want to be painters, teachers, and doctors; some people's dream is just to change the status quo and make themselves happy. Dignified, interesting, etc. (Yueduwen.com www.yueduwen.com)
2. There are many dreams, some people have been working hard for a goal for decades, and they are selfless and obsessed. Some people have multiple dreams. For example, Jack Ma wanted to sing, be an actor, and paint when he was a child.
3. Dreams come and go and are not static. Changes with changes in time, work, and environment. Adjust, choose, and change as you gain a new understanding of yourself. Jack Ma's resignation as chairman of Alibaba to become a teacher starting from September 10 is a typical example.
My first "dream of being a painter" was established on the first day of college. It is something I will never forget. When I was in college, I was the first freshman to register. I remember it was raining heavily that day. When I walked a long way and was soaked to the skin, I was led to his home by Professor He Qitao (a nationally famous watercolor painter). At that moment, the scene in front of me made me suddenly enlightened. On the wall hangs a series of watercolor works painted by a very well-decorated teacher. Under the light blue lining hanging by the window, there is a plaster statue of David by the European Renaissance sculpture master Michelangelo; on the coffee table There are exquisite picture albums neatly stacked, and various brushes of different sizes are inserted into the pen holders. Looking at the teachers around me, they are kind, elegant, and have an extraordinary temperament. Facing this situation, I couldn't help but stand in awe, and silently vowed in my heart that I would become an artist like my teacher in the future. This thought at that time has always been with me. Be the driving force for progress.
During the three years of college, I worked harder and more seriously than anyone else. I have always insisted on writing study notes, and constantly summarized and reflected on the problems and solutions during study. In order to hone my will, I insisted on taking cold water baths every day in winter. I insisted on staying in school for two summer vacations in three years. I often spent double or even several times the time of others reading and painting. It is with such courage that he was rated as one of the three best students in the school twice in three years of college. He has gained the favor and appreciation of department leaders and teachers, and the respect and trust of his classmates.
After entering the education workforce, in the 1980s and 1990s, faced with the current situation that society did not pay attention to art education, many art teachers went out to take on business, make up classes, and earn extra money. I was not affected by these factors. After completing teaching normally, I seriously studied painting, created, and improved my business capabilities. At that time, my creative conditions were poor. Only those who have experienced it personally can understand the joys and hardships. It requires strong will and perseverance. During this period, I received guidance and help from noble people. His works have participated in provincial and municipal art exhibitions many times, and some have won awards and been published. Joined Jiangxi Artists Association in 1997. Become a middle school teacher painter.
In a situation where the status of art teachers is not high, and many people have changed jobs, changed careers, or been passive in their work, I stick to my job, humbly learn from old teachers, concentrate on teaching, persist in educational research, and tutor students after class. He has achieved great results in his work and was named one of the first batch of academic leaders in Jiangxi Province in 2008.
After I gained some halo, my principles of life have not changed. I am still humble and low-key. I give others the impression that I am elusive, reticent, unsociable, and a bit withdrawn. At first I was worried and anxious. Just because you have dreams in your heart, goals in life, and devote yourself to busy work and interesting things every day, your worries will soon pass away, and you will be replaced by happiness and satisfaction.
I retired in 2015. It stands to reason that my merits have been fulfilled and I can go home peacefully and enjoy the happiness of having children and grandchildren around me. However, I did not stop dreaming, but re-planned my retirement life. After some careful thinking: weighing my personal character, strengths and specialties, and environmental conditions, I decisively terminated the art career that had been with me for more than 40 years and found a new path to start a new career. literary creation. Since publishing his first prose work on China Prose Network in July 2016, he has been out of control. In more than two years, *** has published nearly 100 prose, poetry and commentary articles on nine literary websites across the country, some of which Prose works participated in national competitions and won 2 gold medals, 1 special prize, 1 first prize, and 1 second prize. In July this year, he was admitted as a member of Nanchang Writers Association. This month, the Municipal Writers Association notified me to apply to the Jiangxi Provincial Writers Association. The materials have been submitted and I am patiently waiting for the results.
I was actually not very enthusiastic about joining the Writers Association. As early as last year, a well-known provincial writer recommended me to apply. However, I did not take action. At that time, I felt that my works were not weighty enough. After accumulating to a certain extent, I After the work, I gained confidence. Regardless of whether I pass or fail, I will keep writing! Because it makes me happy!
My writing does not affect the normal life of the family, such as taking my grandchildren to and from school, taking care of their daily life, Cooking meals, etc., coordinates well with my wife. The whole day is full of arrangements and very busy. Sometimes I stay up all night to catch up on manuscripts, which will inevitably affect my sleep. Although neurasthenia occurs from time to time, I will get concern from my relatives and friends at this time. Some people think that it is because writing affects my health. However, I think it is the opposite. I realized deeply that my energy, memory, and vitality were better than before. This is the charm of "dream". Thank you for your concern. I will make reasonable adjustments and control the rhythm. I just treat writing as the spice of life.
I really appreciate this passage from Lin Yutang: No matter how vague our dreams are, they always lurk in our hearts, so that our state of mind will never be peaceful until these dreams become reality; just like seeds in the ground. , must sprout and grow, reach out from the ground, and look for sunlight.
Throughout a person's life, there is always a belief that supports us, allowing us to constantly imagine that tomorrow will be better. In this expectation, every day becomes unusual. We have seen the blooming flowers in spring, the luxuriant leaves in summer, the abundant fruits in autumn, and the falling snow in winter. In these four seasons of reincarnation, because of the dreams in our hearts, life is much less boring and the soul is less. A lot of loneliness.
If dreams are the height of a person's life, then dreams are its first cornerstone. The eagle has the dream of soaring into the blue sky, so it dominates the sky; the flower's dream is to embellish the earth. So it blooms all over the mountains and plains; the stream dreams of embracing all things, so it becomes the sea. Because dreams determine the height of life, dreams also determine achievement. Let us always live with our dreams in mind and pursue happiness!
