I was reading a newspaper and came across this story: Someone once asked three bricklayers: "What are you doing?" The first said: "Laying bricks." The second said : "Make money." The third said: "Build the most unique house in the world." Later, the first two people were still ordinary bricklayers, while the third person became a famous architect.

Although the dialogue in this story is simple, it is rich in connotation and profound in meaning. It reminds me of Zhuge Liang's wise saying "Aim high".

The first worker’s ambition was too low. It could be said that he had no ambition. House builders only lay bricks for the sake of "laying bricks" without any set goals in mind. How can they build beautiful houses when they are just clockwork? The second worker has low ambitions and builds a house just to "make money". He would cut corners and do half-hearted work, and he will not be able to build a decent house!

As the saying goes: "Those who set big ambitions will succeed in their ambitions; those who set up medium ambitions will succeed in small ambitions; those who set up small ambitions will fail in their ambitions." The first two workers had such small ambitions, no wonder they ended up Still an ordinary worker.

The third worker is different. He has a clear goal and is determined to build "the most distinctive house in the world", pursuing characteristics and perfection. How could such a person not become a famous architect?

Gorky once said: "The higher the goal a person pursues, the faster his ability develops and the more beneficial it is to society." Ambition is a very important thing, and work will follow your ambition. , success comes with work. Only by establishing lofty ideals and goals can a person strive for them and realize his ideals, and then can he reach the other side of success. Throughout ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, those who have achieved success in their careers are those who have firm ambitions and lofty ambitions.

Mao Zedong was very concerned about national affairs and the suffering of the people as early as his student days. He has "three things he doesn't talk about": he doesn't talk about trivial family matters, he doesn't talk about money, and he doesn't talk about love. It was this great ambition to take the world as his own responsibility that made Mao Zedong the great savior of the Chinese people and the mentor and leader of the Chinese revolution and construction.

When Zhou Enlai was a boy, he set the lofty ambition of "study for the rise of China". This ambition inspired him to make great contributions to the cause of proletarian revolution.

Edison burst into tears because he was reprimanded by his teacher as an "imbecile" and set his ambition to "do something in the world when he grows up." This ambition made him eventually become the world-famous "Invention King".

When Chen Jingrun was in junior high school, he determined to win the crown jewel of mathematics. This ambition inspired him to achieve superhuman results on the road to overcoming the "Goldbach Conjecture" and become a famous mathematician.

The facts eloquently illustrate the importance of determination. If, like the first two workers, you have no ambition, short-sightedness, and lack of lofty goals in life, you will never become a successful person by working as a monk for a day.

I remember a famous person said: "Living without a purpose is like sailing without a compass." This sentence tells the third secret of worker success. Our generation is the cross-century builders and pioneers of future careers. How can we have no ambitions, do nothing, and waste our years?

If there is no ambition, everything will be in vain; if there is ambition, everything will come true. Adolescence is the golden season for us to learn and aspire.

The third worker can still aspire to become an architect. Why can't we set lofty ambitions, be unafraid of hard work, study hard, and have the courage to climb to become "architects" in the 21st century?
