The ideal is the oasis in the desert, the ideal is the lighthouse in the dark night, the ideal is the crutch in the difficult journey, and the ideal is the harbor in the long voyage. The ideal of mountain streams is the sea, the ideal of birds is the blue sky, and the ideal of trees is the pillars. Things are like this, let alone people? Each of us must establish lofty ideals. As a spiritual phenomenon, ideal is the product of human social practice. In the practical activities of transforming the objective world and the subjective world, people not only pursue immediate production and life goals, eager to meet immediate material and spiritual needs, but also long for future production and life goals, hoping to meet higher material and spiritual needs. Everyone has ideals, but some people don’t understand themselves. When you make money to support your family, when you pursue the opposite sex in order to get married and have children, when you go to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of roses for love, when you work hard to make money to build a beautiful house, when you Setting up a stall on the street and being happy to earn dozens of dollars, being happy to marry a wife you like, etc. These are everyone's ideals. Through surveys, the vast majority of college students know what their ideals are, but there are some misunderstandings about the ideals of classmates.

Some students’ ideals are not specific enough. Leo Tolstoy said: "Ideals are guiding lights. Without ideals, there is no firm direction. Without direction, there is no life." If the ideal is not specific enough, the direction will not be clear and firm, which will increase the difficulty of realizing the ideal. Difficulty. There are also many students whose ideals are too practical and single, and their ideals are essentially the pursuit of fame, wealth, and power. Not only those who want to be scientists, professors, artists, officials, entrepreneurs and other "noble professions" are considered ideal people, but all people in ordinary professions are not ideal people.

Ideals are the product of certain social relationships. "In the era of hunger and cold, the ideal is food and clothing; in the era of food and clothing, the ideal is civilization; in the era of chaos, the ideal is stability; in the era of stability, the ideal is prosperity." In today's socialist market economy, some people use fame and fortune to It is normal to be ideal. But ideals originate from reality and transcend reality. People should have higher ideals. Ideals are multifaceted and multi-typed. We need not only general ideals, but also lofty ideals; we need short-term ideals, but also long-term ideals; we need to establish personal ideals, but also establish social ideals.

In the long life, only by rushing forward bravely, not afraid of difficulties, and working hard can we hit the water in the middle of the current and reach the bright shore. The ideal of science is the beacon and source of motivation for contemporary students to brave the wind and waves and fight against the sea.
