A person's life is like a flood. It is difficult to stir up beautiful waves without encountering islands and reefs. The following is my inspirational essay with philosophy of life. Let's have a look.

First, "Who Pulled You to Mediocrity" has such an experiment: a long-distance runner participated in a five-person team competition. Before the game, the coach told him that as far as I know, the strength of the other four people is not as good as yours, so the athlete easily ran first. Later, the coach asked him to take part in a group match of ten people. The coach showed him other people's grades. He found that others' grades were not as good as his own, and he easily ran first. Later, the athlete took part in a team competition of twenty people. The coach said that if you beat one of them, you can win. As a result, he followed the athlete mentioned by the coach in the competition and finally won the first place in the sprint.

Later, he moved to another place. The coach didn't communicate with him about other athletes before the game. He narrowly won the first place in the five-person team competition. Later, he slipped to the second place in the 10-member team competition, and he only took the fifth place in the 20-member team competition.

The actual situation is that each group of athletes is at the same level as the first time.

This reminds me of my school story.

In primary school, I was the best in my class and thought the first place was mine. After entering junior high school, there were more people, and I thought it would be good to be in the top ten, so I was complacent as soon as I entered 10. After high school, I set a lower goal, even if the test is slightly different, I will comfort myself: it is good to have so many masters. In this way, I step by step from excellent to mediocre.

Yes, in life, we are not always told about the strength and ability of our competitors. So in the face of more and more people around us, we began to be at a loss, or belittle ourselves and take the initiative to arrange ourselves to a lower position. This may be a road that many people have to take on their way forward.

2. "Everything that is easy is downhill." A farmer friend once told me a story of himself.

That day, I dragged a heavy scooter to the foot of the mountain. Looking at the long uphill road ahead, I can't help but flinch. I think I can't pull myself up today. I must have someone to help me. When I was in a dilemma, an enthusiastic passer-by came by. He saw my predicament and said to me, it doesn't matter, I'll help you. Say, conveniently rolled up his sleeves and pulled open a cart.

So I gritted my teeth and pulled the cart hard. Encouraged by enthusiastic people, we finally pulled the car to the top of the slope. When I thanked the enthusiastic person for his great help, I didn't expect him to say, you don't have to thank me. I sprained my waist these two days, so I can't exert myself at all. I just shouted, come on. It's up to you to pull this car up.

The story of a farmer friend reminds me that the road of life is different. A famous person once said: All that is easy is downhill. The road of life is not Ma Pingchuan, and it is not easy not to work hard. Many times, it is precisely because I gave up my efforts that I missed the chance of success in vain. The result is to give up halfway and return in vain.

3. "Temperament is the most attractive brand" is Chanel's clothes? Pierre Cardin's pants? Gucci vest? Hermes scarf or Fendi shoes? Give you a nonstandard correct answer.

I believe many people have heard an old story: once President Lincoln interviewed a new candidate, but later he didn't accept the candidate. When the staff asked him why, he actually said, I don't like his looks! The adjutant was very dissatisfied and asked, is it also his fault that a person is ugly? Lincoln replied: a person's face before the age of 40 is decided by his parents, and his face after the age of 40 is decided by himself. A person should be responsible for his appearance after 40 years old. I quite agree with Lincoln's answer.

It coincides with the saying that the ancients were born from the heart. Inspirational writers often spend a lot of time and money on brand-name clothes, but few people are willing to spend the same energy on self-cultivation. As everyone knows, temperament is the most attractive brand!

If a person has temperament on his face, he is far more beautiful, handsome and recognized than wearing famous brands. And easy to own! You don't even have to spend a dime. You just need to pay attention to your temper, correct your character, purify your thoughts and enrich your inner invisibility. Your speech, attitude and behavior will be covered with a fresh and refined atmosphere.

Temperament is the best brand.

Fourth, "A rusty knife" A rusty knife was abandoned in a corner. This knife used to be sharp and used every day, but now it is rusty and left out in the cold. Maybe the master has a new knife, or maybe he thinks it is too old to use. After being idle day after day, this knife rusted.

Will this knife be lost and lonely? It's not as bright as before. Or are you glad you retired leisurely? You don't have to work so hard anymore. Will this knife be sad to see other knives being loved? Will you be jealous?

Maybe when I first stepped down, the knife didn't feel anything. However, it was born with a hard life and soon became unhappy. Immersed in memories, sad alone, is rust the tears of a knife?

Everyone knows that the knife is used faster and faster. This is the character of the knife, and its purpose is to sharpen the knife. Whether it is hard bone or soft meat, it is cut off and divided under the blade!

When the knife rusts, it becomes dull. A dull knife makes people even more lazy to use it.

No matter how brilliant it used to be, Lian Po is old now.

People say that nodding is not old. It is never too old to learn. People say it's gone after use, and running water does not rot. How can a person not be eliminated? People should work and think. If you don't work, you will get sick, and if you don't think, you will be dull. Like that rusty knife.

Are you a knife? What kind of knife is this? Is it a treasure knife or a rusty knife? Burden is a rust stain on a person. Fame and fortune can also bind people's minds and make them more and more heavy and hesitant.

If you are confident that you are a treasure knife, don't lose heart even if you rust! You don't have to give up on yourself at all As long as you sharpen, you can still shine! I am afraid that my fighting spirit will be completely lost and my confidence will run out. A knife like that is actually a pile of scrap metal.
