Example 1 Failure
Facing failure means facing our thoughts. We must keep a clear mind in the face of sudden failure. We must not be knocked down by failure, lose our fighting spirit and give up on ourselves.
Facing failure means covering the scars in our hearts with a smile. We smile because our fighting spirit is immortal; we smile because our youth is full of enthusiasm; we smile because we understand that in addition to flowers and applause, there are also swamps and traps on the road of life.
Only when you face failure can you step back from the brink, change your wrong choices, re-select goals, re-adjust directions, and use our strength and perseverance to fight for the future again.
Face failure, drive away the dark clouds and mist in the sky, wipe away the sadness written on our faces, and then sing Zheng Zhihua’s song: He said that in the wind and rain/this pain is nothing/wipe it dry Don’t be afraid of tears/At least we still have dreams and can continue on our way.
Let us face failure, face ups and downs, and despise this stumbling block in life!
Example 2 Failure
(1) The conflict between Chu and Han, big and small battles Hundreds of soldiers fought, Liu Bang was defeated repeatedly, and in critical moments he even escaped alone. However, in the end, Liu Bang forced Xiang Yu to commit suicide in Wujiang River. Although future generations have some criticisms of this emperor, I think he was able to learn lessons from repeated failures, become more courageous as he fought, and eventually became an emperor. He is a great man of his generation. ——Failure is a kind of growth.
(2) "Three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu." "Three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu." "Three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu." He endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden. After returning home, he not only endured the hardships, but also had people outside the palace gate sing loudly every day when they saw him: "Goujian! Have you forgotten your shame?"
It is this kind of courageous people who endure the hardships and endure the hardships. Determination enabled him to defeat the State of Wu and dominate the country. ——Failure is a kind of decision.
(3) There is an old man, 53 years old. The government thought he was too old and sent him alimony early. His business failed, he was in poverty, his wife was divorced, and he was miserable. However, he did not lower his hands, but clenched his fists, raised his hands, and said with a strong gesture: "I am not willing to accept it!" Then he used a pension to open a fast food restaurant, and he is what he is famous for today. The founder of the world-famous KFC chain. ——Failure is an entrepreneurial declaration.
(4) My name is lost in Sun Mountain, and I am lonely on a boat. Thinking about the hardships of living in poverty for several years, but ended up returning home alone. Traveling to Suzhou, I came to Hanshan Temple, understood life, let go of the shadows in my heart, but aroused vigorous poetry - at this point, everyone already knows that I am talking about Zhang Jihe's "Night Mooring with Fengjiao" . ——Failure is an eternal song.
(5) I think of Su Dongpo again, a famous celebrity who was once famous for his talent. He was surrounded by praises and praises.
When he fell from the peak of "success" all the way to Chibi, Huangzhou, he made a slight adjustment and announced his success to the world with "Niannujiao·Chibi Nostalgic" and the "Chibi Fu" before and after. The success of "cultural breakthrough"! - Failure is the only way from apparent success to substantive success.
(6) The towering Mount Everest is majestic because it has buried the bones of countless pilgrims; Armstrong’s small step is of great significance because of the "Challenger" Fall; the passage across the Pacific is majestic because it drowned countless explorers across the sea. ——Failure is the foil of success.
(7) Ruins are also a kind of beauty - a kind of incomplete beauty, which indicates failure and inspires success.
Therefore, the Old Summer Palace inspires the struggle of the Chinese nation; the "Wailing Wall" in Jerusalem inspires the struggle of the Jewish nation. ——Failure is a spur.
Faced with these failures, these regrettable and great failures, we should calmly think: Can our "failure" still be called "failure"? We should also mark it with " Are you discouraged?
Example 3: Calm as gold
The wings of the bird flew across the sky, and the trace of calm remained in the sky;
Fish The tail waggled into the water plants, and the traces of tranquility remained at the bottom of the water;
My eyes reflected three stories, and the traces of tranquility remained in my heart:
(1) Brahma Zhi held a flower and offered it to the Buddha. The Buddha said: "Put it down." Brahma Zhi put down the flower in his left hand. The Buddha said again: "Put it down." Fanzhi put down the flower in his right hand again. The Buddha still said: "Put it down." Brahma said: "I have already put down the flowers in my hand, what else can I put down?" The Buddha said: "Put down your outer six dusts, inner six roots, and middle six consciousnesses, and keep giving them up. The place where you have no choice but to leave is the place where you put your life." This is a Zen saying. The original meaning is that the calmer the mind is, the more simple and natural it is, the easier it is to achieve true enlightenment and achieve great enlightenment.
I often imagine seeing the Buddha like a Brahma, but holding "Success" in my right hand and "Failure" in my left hand. I think when I let go of success and failure, the six outer objects, the six inner faculties, and the six middle consciousnesses, the flower of success will surely bloom in my heart.
Gu Long said: "The more afraid of death, the easier it is for people to die; the less afraid of death, the easier it is for people to die.
"The more afraid of failure and eager for success, the easier it is for people to miss success.
(2) One day in the winter of 1914, a fire burned Edison's laboratory, which undoubtedly meant that, The many research results he had worked so hard for throughout his life would be reduced to ashes in the ruthless fire. When the fire burned at its worst, Edison's son frantically searched for his father in the billowing smoke. ?The 67-year-old Edison was looking at the fire calmly, with his white hair flying in the cold wind. He said to his son extremely calmly: "Quick! Call your mother, she may never see such a scene in her life. . ”
Reading this story, I suddenly felt shocked: Calmness turns out to be a kind of courage.
Only a calm mind can have the courage to face setbacks and look beyond disappointment. Only by writing is the "spice of life" can we withstand the blows of life and enjoy life to the fullest.
Fan Zhongyan said: "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. "It is precisely because he has a calm mind.
The courage born of calm is so magnificent.
(3) Zhuge Kongming was chased by Sima Zhongda in a hurry, so he opened the door At the city gate, he was still sitting on the top of the city playing the harp. The counselor advised Zhongda to go straight to Huanglong. Zhongda said: "Listen to the sound of Kongming's harp, it is as leisurely as the mountains and the flowing water, and your heart is as calm as the mountains. You must have something to rely on." Retreat!" So, the army came and went like a tide, and Kong Ming escaped.
"The mind is as calm as a mountain", in other words, it is "calm as water." It can be seen that calmness is also a kind of wisdom. .
When attacking, only when the mind is calm can one hit the target accurately. To confuse the enemy's mind and seize the opportunity. "Kongming retreats to Zhongda in an empty city" is an ideal example. In reality, behind many successful examples, there must be a calm, carefree mind and peace of mind.
The three articles are all argumentative essays, but they are written in different ways. For example, after raising the topic of discussion, they start to explain how to deal with setbacks and failures from all aspects. Quotes, metaphors, causal sentences, or parallel sentences are used to make incisive discussions on the correct methods and functions of dealing with setbacks and failures. It can be said that every section is precise and thorough.
Example 2 Adopting the unique form of "footnotes", the full text is composed of seven examples, and each "footnote" of the seven examples is an aphorism, either from the role of failure itself, or from failure and success. In terms of relationship, the role of "failure" is revealed from different angles, and all of this is a preparation for the ending. In the end, the argument is completed smoothly from the points to the summary. The way of writing knots is worth learning and imitating.
Although Example 3 is also an argumentative essay, it is more of a figurative narrative. This is a way of replacing rational opinions with concrete statements and turning abstraction into abstraction. The special way of writing images.
After the three stories are comments composed of aphorisms, which are different from the first two articles. They are combined with quotations to illustrate the role of calm in victory and defeat. 2. The writing is both vivid and concrete.
