Write an argumentative essay on the topic of a famous saying by Confucius or Mencius or Zhuangzi.
"Born in sorrow, died in happiness". "There are no beautiful trees on the top of the mountain, and it hurts Yang more." At the top of the mountain, there is plenty of sunshine, which should be the place where trees like to grow. But as long as people climb to the top of the mountain, they will find that all they can see is bare rocks, and the flowers and trees that make people linger on the mountainside often disappear. Although there is plenty of sunshine on the top of the mountain, after a few days of "sunshine bath", the water of trees is also lacking. Water is the source of life. Without water, life will surely come to an end. The implication is that too superior environment often makes people distracted, and adversity is often the springboard for people to succeed. At this time, the sunshine is like a superior environment for trees. It looks like a spring breeze and rain, which is enviable. I don't know that the enjoyment at this moment is like a "frog boiled in warm water". For a long time, people have forgotten its inherent tenacious vitality. As Mencius, the sage of Asia, said, "Heaven will demote a great man, so he must first suffer from his mind, work hard on his bones and muscles, starve his body and skin, and be empty of his body, so he can be patient and gain what he can't do." It can be seen that since ancient times, no one can succeed casually. Genius is often created with 1% inspiration and 99% sweat. As the saying goes, "Born in sorrow and died in happiness", adversity is often the step for a genius and the road for a wise man to become a success, but it will be a stumbling block or even a bottomless abyss for the weak. Therefore, only by grasping the opportunity and knowing how to turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones and adversity into prosperity can we reap the fruits of success and taste the sweetest ice spring. Looking back on the party's century-long history, from the first National People's Congress held in Shanghai in July 1921, to the Northern Expedition, the Long March, the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the Liberation War, the completion of the three major transformations, the formulation of major national policies of reform and opening up, and the great economic, political and cultural strategies of "building a well-off society in an all-round way" and "Belt and Road" put forward since the new century. There is no doubt that the China * * * Production Party needs no historical facts to tell the Chinese people and even the people of the world. The century-old history of the Party is not only a history of national construction and development, but also a history of indomitable growth, constantly fighting and courageously striving for the first place in adversity and challenges. The national spirit it conveys has really played a guiding and encouraging role for our high school students in the new century, so that our road to success can be weather-beaten and enduring, and it will be stronger after repeated torture, constantly honing ourselves in adversity and shining brilliantly. To succeed in adversity, we must first have lofty ideals. "Ideal is stone, knocking out a single spark; Ideal is fire, lighting the extinguished lamp; Ideal is a lamp to illuminate the road at night; Ideal is the road that leads you to the dawn. " It can be seen that ideals often play a directional role on a person's road to success. Turning to the title page of history, when Sima Qian was arrested and imprisoned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was "handcuffed, shackled, violently skinned, clubbed and secluded in the wall." For a person, Sima Qian not only endured the painful skin pain, but also suffered a mental blow. In such a cruel environment, Sima Qian remembered his late father's legacy, stood firm in his ideal as a historian, and worked hard to strengthen himself. Finally, he completed China's first biographical Historical Records, which achieved the value of life. Thus, as a high school student, although we will not face the same life situation as Sima Qian, we should learn from his tenacious character and aim high. Even in adversity, we should set up lofty ideals and "I will mount a long wind some day and break the heavy waves, and set my cloudy sail straight and bridge the deep, deep sea" one step at a time to lay a solid foundation for a brilliant life. In adversity, you should also have tenacious perseverance. Because "the road to success is not crowded, because there are not many people who insist." Sun Kang, a native of Jin, was poor and loved reading. At night, although I have time, I can't afford to buy lamp oil, so I have to memorize it silently and digest what I have learned during the day. One day in winter, he woke up in the middle of the night and found that the house against the white snow was brighter than the night before, which inspired him to study hard on snowy nights, especially those against the moonlight. Because of his tenacious perseverance, studious, and persistent in the long run, he eventually became a famous ancient scholar, and the allusion of "studying in the snow" has been circulated among future generations. The example of our ancestors studying hard has inspired us. No matter how hard the conditions are, as long as we have perseverance and perseverance, we can finally achieve the grand goal of "12 Qin Guan will eventually belong to Chu" and "3, Yue Jia can swallow Wu". In adversity, we should also know the importance of grasping the opportunity. As the old saying goes, "It's now or never." Hilton, the world hotel king, followed the gold rush to Denmark in his early years. He was not as lucky as others and did not dig a piece of gold. But when he was disappointed to go home, he found a business opportunity more precious than gold, and Hilton quickly seized it. While others were busy digging for gold, he was busy building hotels and suddenly became a rich man, which laid the foundation for his future success in the hotel industry. It can be seen that a moment's gain and loss can't determine a person's life's fate. When heaven closes a door, another window will always be opened, and what we have to do is to absorb every beam of light that passes through this window, seize the opportunity, forge ahead bravely and reach the other side of success. Follow the legacy of our ancestors and feel the elegance of today. As a youth in the new era, growing up in adversity, we should first have our own ideals and ambitions, define our goals, and learn to plan a grand blueprint for our lives; Secondly, we should also have tenacious perseverance, because "if you don't accumulate a thousand miles, you can't make a river without accumulating a small stream." Only those who have tenacious perseverance can stick to the end and take off the brightest crown; Finally, young people should learn to seize the opportunity, be flexible, master methods, seek new opportunities in adversity, and create more opportunities for success. To borrow a sentence from Shakespeare, "adversity can test a person's character, and extraordinary circumstances can show extraordinary integrity." Growing up in adversity can inspire the vast number of young people in the new century, enhance their awareness of suffering, learn from the hard-working and tenacious character of their predecessors, and cultivate their self-confidence, optimism and openness in the stormy waves of life again and again, thus contributing to the realization of the "two great goals of the motherland for a hundred years."
