Part 5: Smile over success or failure and move forward gracefully
On the road of life, everyone desires success and is afraid of failure, but not everyone will succeed. Treating success and failure is just a different mentality. A small grass may never become a towering tree, but it can be the greenest and strongest grass; a drop of water may never be able to run as fast as the Yangtze River, but it can become the purest drop of all water. When dealing with success and failure, you might as well face it with an open-minded attitude.
On the road of life, everyone will inevitably experience failure. Failure is destroying valuable things for others to see; success is packaging valuable things for others to see. The secret of success is not being afraid of failure and not forgetting failure. Successful people come out of the purgatory of failure. The cycle of success and failure constitutes a wonderful life. The judgment of success and failure is not at the starting point, but at the end point.
As long as you walk through life steadily and struggle, it is enough to have a clear conscience. There is no need to dress your heart too heavy. The vicissitudes of life on the surface and the seriousness on the surface cannot make you a philosopher; if you leave all your friends, all you will have is a lonely figure. Maybe you can't become profound now, so let yourself become relaxed. How can a person with a mournful face hear the sound of flowers blooming? How can a person who is pretending to be himself understand the excitement among the croaking frogs?
There is no need to cry over a small setback. Life is full of ups and downs. How can a pearl oyster without trauma be sparkling and charming? It is common to fall and fall a few times. If you have never capsized in the gutter, your life must be pale and definitely not vivid. If you lose, you can start all over again. If you win, you can solidify the foundation stone under your feet.
There is no need to repeat the eternal song: "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is almost dusk." Repeatedly taste the bitterness and sadness. As long as you work hard and move forward, you will be seen in every corner of the world. Although this world is a bit cold, as long as you are willing, you can use your meager strength to give warmth and a ray of light to every friend who feels cold.
Don’t always look at your past with a sad eye. The past is past, and the past will always become history. No matter how glorious and happy you were in the past, no matter how small or sad you were in the past! With the passage of time, all of this has been diluted by the historical years, or even disappeared. The only thing left is a faint memory.
Don’t just show off your past achievements, and don’t just be sad about the past. Because that will only increase the heavy burden on the soul. Perhaps, occasionally lamenting one's past is a reasonable psychological vent. But sometimes, thinking too much can actually become painful and make you live in a sea of ??misery all day long. Therefore, instead of using time to remember the past, it is better to use it to think about how to wisely grasp the present at your feet.
Yesterday is in the past, tomorrow has not yet come, the most important thing is today. Shakespeare once said such a philosophical saying: "Life is too short, and if it is wasted, the short life is too long!" Doesn't this sentence vividly explain the truth that one should not waste one's life? If you have understood something, should you let go of the past and open your heart to accept reality? Should we also focus on doing our own things wholeheartedly?
A successful life does not lie in how much you have accomplished but in what you have done well. Therefore, when you see a dense forest, you just have to be a tall and straight tree in it; when you see the rushing Yangtze River, You just want to be a crystal drop in the waves without any guilt; when you see the boundless blue sky, you just want to be a peaceful one among the clouds without any guilt. Although it is a tree, it can withstand the wind and rain; although it is a drop, it can nourish the seedlings; although it is a flower, it can dress up the blue sky. This kind of life is enough.
Smile over success or failure and move forward gracefully. Life is full of variables, and we don’t know where we will be at the next moment.
So, don’t let your heart get too tired, be simple, be happy, watch the flowers bloom and fall, listen to the gurgling water, cherish every day of your life, and live a relaxed, happy, calm and calm life! Chapter 6: The distance between persistence and success
I don’t think about whether I can succeed. Since I have chosen the distance, I only care about the wind and rain. If I don't go, there will always be cold wind and rain behind me. Since the target is the horizon, all I will leave to the world is my back. ——Inscription
Someone asked me, how far is the distance between persistence and success? I smiled and told them: "If you think it is far, it is in the clouds; if you think it is close, it is right in front of you." They shook their heads and said, "Success is a distant place that is impossible to reach. To put it lightly, the road is long. , and you can imagine it!”
Why imagine the difficulty of the road but not the beauty of success?
What really makes me understand the distance is long-distance running. Many times the difference is just 0.1 seconds, and you are unqualified and rejected with full marks. It is as if it is a sure thing and there is nothing you can do about it. When the door to success is about to close, people are the most desperate. Watching the light shining in the door dim little by little, the temperature of the heart is also plummeting little by little. Slowly slow down, even to the finish line. Not willing to rush. Maybe you kneel by the door and cry loudly, but no one will open the door for you, and no one can open the window God gave you—persistence. Maybe you persist for a while, maybe you try hard, but even if you don't step into the door of success, you will still be admired and admired by others. Many times, you can surpass yourself, but if you can't cross the threshold of determination and don't sprint until the last minute, the distance will be infinitely lengthened, and physical and mental pain will sweep over you. Just want to give it a try. It's all in vain.
This experience is deeply ingrained in my heart, challenging willpower, endurance, and psychological quality, surpassing the former again and again, causing pain and happiness. That distance is not an insurmountable chasm. Even if I am thrown to pieces, I cannot give up. Once I give up, there will be nothing left. No one can guess the outcome of a basketball game until the final whistle blows. In a running race, the race is not completed until the last sprint line is reached. In the race of life, anything is possible until the death knell rings. Mitsuru Morita, a 90-year-old Japanese man, ran a 100-meter time of 23.80 seconds, shortening Japan's national record for the 100-meter senior group by more than 27 seconds (the previous record was 50.9 seconds), and was praised as "90-year-old Usain Bolt" . Even the old people can shine brightly when "it's just the setting sun and it's almost dusk". What reason do young people have not to surpass themselves?
The distance between persistence and success is at your feet, speed up your pace and realize your imagination!
When you are about to give up, think about why you have persisted until now? When you want to stop, don't forget that others are still running! ——Postscript Chapter 7: The dream sky is exceptionally blue
The fish are flying in the shallow bottom, just for the dream, the lake surface is exceptionally bright; the horse is galloping, just for the dream, the grassland is exceptionally green; the eagle spreads its wings, just for the dream The sky of dreams is exceptionally blue! ——Inscription
The spring orchids in March are blooming proudly. The fragrant blue-purple flowers are your elegant fragrance. Who once said, "The warm wind makes tourists drunk". The willows in the south of the Yangtze River are you. That beautiful long hair. By the river, you are dressed in white lotus clothes. How many times you have looked back, making me fall in love under the blue sky with you. Yes, in my dream, the sky with you is exceptionally blue!
On a leisurely afternoon, with clear skies, I happily picked up the kite string, and I couldn’t wait to run towards the wilderness, trying to use the strong wings of the eagle in my hand to carry me to explore my dreams. blue sky.
With the enthusiasm of the spring girl, the bamboo basket poured out this vibrant scene of spring returning to the earth. I followed Miss Chun's footsteps and saw the beautiful scenery and colorful flowers along the way, but invisibly pieced together my innocent dream in my heart.
Today, proudly, the older generation of workers are going strong and strong, embarking on a new long march to make new achievements for locomotive maintenance and railways. The younger generation is also the backbone and has a long way to go. They also serve as "cows" to "create high quality and ensure safety"; to be the "cows" of the people; to be the "Confucian cattle" as Mr. Lu Xun said. There is a saying: "The train runs fast because of the headband." I also remember that in the summer days when we were fighting high temperatures and scorching heat, "Fighting high temperatures and fighting scorching heat" is a slogan that people are familiar with, and it is also a slogan for inspection workers. A vivid portrayal of the scorching heat above your head, sweating profusely, and selfless struggle. Due to busy transportation, all locomotive systems are operating at full capacity. "High temperature diseases" often occur, and the number of random locomotive failures is relatively increased. The maintenance personnel ignore the sultry weather, quickly diagnose and cure the disease, and ensure the supply of machine power. The work was very difficult to carry out, but they always used their brains and thought of ways without any regrets, and unified their thoughts and actions. In the spirit of a high degree of responsibility and selfless dedication, we made full use of the rest time on Saturdays and Sundays to work overtime to repair the locomotives. We sacrificed ourselves and the overall situation, regardless of personal gains and losses, and sacrificed time for rest and entertainment. In the hot warehouse, the rumbling engines The sound was busy; on such a hot day, as soon as I entered the driver's cab, a wave of heat hit my face. Wearing work clothes and safety helmets, they endured the "baking" test of nearly a hundred degrees of heat in a small, dark, and sultry power room that was as hot as a "steamer." They were all sweating profusely and soaked to the skin. One hour, two hours... Regardless of the sweat and oil on their faces, they skillfully wielded tools to inspect and repair the diesel engine, sweating and fighting the high temperature without complaint, "protecting" the locomotive.
Yesterday, it was youth that outlined the grand blueprint; today, it is youth that weaves a new landscape. The ancients said: Use history as a mirror to be wise. Look back at the past and look forward to the future. Let’s take a look at the contemporary railway workers. They have the same youthful years and passionate youths. There are no heroic words to describe them, and there are no hymns to sing about them. When you are still intoxicated in the joy of the festival; when you are still intoxicated in the colorful fireworks. You see, those who brave the cold wind and the scorching sun and work silently; those who forget about food and sleep and stick to their posts; they have achieved results and style in their posts. With all his talent and youth, he won the victory of mechanism reform and the fruits of institutional innovation, creating benefits for the company that was heavily in debt; adding luster to the plodding railway industry; and in a place full of the sweat and footprints of the predecessors. , burn yourself, dedicate your youth and sweat.
