Growth has no end or ultimate, and the environment does not necessarily determine a person's growth.

Some people say that good times will make me successful. Life is a long journey, and it is inevitable that there will be ups and downs. If you go all the way to the end, you may feel proud and dismissive. In the end, the higher you fly, the more painful you will fall.

Some people say that the environment determines a person's character. Helen Keller was blind, but she still insisted on perceiving the world with her heart. Mark Twain experienced investment failure and still worked hard to explore his potential. There are tens of millions of people who have experienced the same thing as them, but only a few persist. Their character is not determined by the environment, but by their inner choices.

Does the environment have an impact on human growth? Hawking only had three fingers in his body that could move, but he just tore a corner of the universe; Sima Qian wrote "Historical Records" in prison; Lesseps built the Suez Canal in the desert... Were they in good times when they did these things? Apparently not.

I admit that a good educational environment can promote people's growth. But how could the stupid Zeng Shen spread the teachings of Confucius? How can the illiterate Huineng teach Huangmei's morality? They have not received a good education or have extraordinary talents, but their growth is amazing to the world! It is absolutely true that the environment has an impact on human growth.

The same principle applies to "the one who is close to vermilion is red, and the one who is close to ink is black". In adversity, we should strengthen ourselves instead of degenerating; in good times, we should be calm rather than dismissive. On the land of China, how many people have stood up in adversity, and how many people have worked hard to forge ahead in good times and lead a new era!

The environment does not have much impact on growth, because growth is a personal will, not the work of others.

We are not geniuses, nor have we experienced many hardships. If we want to succeed, we must be down-to-earth and proactive. Regardless of good times or bad times, we should move forward courageously, study hard, and contribute to this country!
