I believe that many friends would like to read some classic inspirational stories about youth. So what are some inspirational stories about youth? Below are the youth inspirational stories I compiled for you, let’s take a look!
Inspirational stories of youth Part 1
"After the age of 18, I have to walk my own path."
In my memory, this is what I said to my dad A harsher sentence.
After saying this, he and I both froze in place, and no one said a word.
To be honest, I have never been a rebellious child. I have never done anything "rebellious" since I was a child.
I didn’t drop out of school to serve in the army like other children. I never squandered my parents’ money, let alone left and wandered around with my guitar on my back.
When I was in high school, like other “students”, my parents made all the decisions, including what to wear and who to make friends with.
But when I applied for the voluntary application, I had a fierce conflict with my family.
According to my father's idea, I should apply for a science and engineering major with a high admission score based on my scores, so that I can easily find a job after graduation, and I should show off my power as I should.
But before the college entrance examination, I hated science and engineering. I went crazy and wanted to major in liberal arts.
I don’t know where I got the courage at that time, and I don’t know if this decision was appropriate. In short, on the night when the application form was distributed, I said such a sentence out of anger.
After one night, when I actually opened the application list the next day and found that everything from the advance batch to the first batch and the second batch were options, I began to admit defeat. I gradually recovered from my willfulness.
So when it came time to actually write down my application, I said to my dad: "I'd better fill in the school and major you chose for me."
I thought he would do it because of me. He was happy to comply and at least have a drink, but he didn't.
In front of me, he picked up two thick "Guidelines for Completing the College Entrance Examination Application", slowly wrapped them in brown paper, tied them up, then walked into the bedroom and put them in the desk drawer. Put away. At the end, he solemnly said to me: "From now on, you can make your own decisions."
I, who had always been "decided", suddenly heard this, and the most direct feeling The reaction was not excitement, but timidity and panic. This attitude is completely different from when you say "I want to walk my own way" when you are angry.
Looking at my father again, his brows were furrowed. He said that after thinking about it for a few days, he had figured it out. Even if he finally helped me fill out my application, I would be the one who went to college in the end, and he couldn't bear the responsibility for me.
I can’t remember the details of the rest of the see-saw conversation clearly. Anyway, I was really helpless at the time and expressed great dissatisfaction with him for letting go. But there was no way. My application was about to be handed in. I had to take out the "Guidelines for Filling in the College Entrance Examination Application" from the drawer and spent a whole night trying to fill in all the first and second choices.
Even in the end, I still filled out my application based on the results of my father’s painstaking research, but it was still the most important decision I had ever made in college. It seems a bit absurd and cruel, but it is something I will never forget.
I admit that for more than a year after that incident, I hated him.
I can’t understand his inexplicable abandonment, and I can’t even understand that he actually left me alone to take care of my life after I turned 18.
When I was in college, I said I wanted to buy a guitar. He didn’t interfere and said that as long as I could persist in learning, it would be fine.
I said I wanted to invest money in stocks, but he didn’t question me. He just reminded me to remember to leave some money for food.
Even once he found out that I was fighting with others, but he didn’t care about me. He just lightly reminded me that adults must bear criminal responsibility for committing crimes. So clear and profound.
My mentality at that time was somewhat angry. But as time goes by, the more he behaves like this, the more I can recognize the reality and become more cautious in doing things.
Because I know that no one can come forward to help me make the decision, and no one can bear the consequences for me. Everything must be done by oneself.
As I slowly grew up, and when I tasted the sweetness of the decisions I made through independent judgment and rational analysis, I began to be grateful for his decisiveness at that time. If he hadn't left it alone at that time, I would still have spent a lot of effort and made more detours in society.
Indeed, when making a decision, we all hope that someone can give us a reason, someone to support it, even if someone opposes it. We don't really want to hear each other's opinions, opinions don't really matter at this time. What we need more is a command and someone who can bear the consequences with you.
However, do you have to have such a person appear and hear words of encouragement before you muster up the courage to make a choice? Sometimes when you have this person who can bear the consequences with you, who can clean up the final situation for you?
When a reader asks me to help him choose, I usually reply: "I can help you analyze it, but you still have to make the decision yourself."
Let's not say it yet. Emotional problems are ever-changing, and even a professional emotional expert cannot find an effective way to solve the problem from your words; and even if I help you make a decision, you still need to face and bear the final situation. So, this is not perfunctory.
I hope that my story can provide you with some vision and experience, so that you can see another possibility of solving problems outside of life.
I have a friend who sings folk songs in Beijing, and he still hangs out in various bars and is unknown.
He said that the main reason why he went north with his guitar on his back was that his friends who played music with him were particularly optimistic about him and called on him to come and have a career.
But when he found that the huge Beijing could not hear his singing, he discovered that none of the people who encouraged him to come here could stand up and shout for him.
No one can make decisions for you, except you, everyone is a bystander. That time, I completely understood.
Youth Inspirational Story Part 2
What is stability? Stability is not balance, and stability is not persistence. The scientific definition of stability is strong resistance to external interference.
In other words, stability is not about the quality of the state, but about whether the original state can be maintained, even if this state is not so ideal.
The three balls in the picture above are in three "balanced" states. The small ball on the left is "stable". If it is moved a certain distance, it can return to its original shape as long as the distance is not too far. The small ball in the middle does not matter whether it is stable or unstable. If it is moved a certain distance, it can return to its original state. Live and work peacefully in the new place; the small ball on the right is "unstable". Even if it is touched lightly, it will slide all the way down and never return to its original place.
Why is the ball on the left stable? Because it has the smallest energy. It is the lowest of all possible positions, so the gravitational potential energy is the smallest. Once it is perturbed, it can only be perturbed to a place with a higher gravitational potential energy, because there is no place with a lower gravitational potential energy than its current position. In this way, as soon as external interference is removed, the ball will automatically return to its original equilibrium position under the action of gravity, so we say it is stable. It does not require any external energy and relies solely on its own gravity to stay in its current position.
The ball on the right is unstable, and a slight disturbance can make it irreversible. From left to right, it took a lot of hard work to get to where it is now. In order to maintain such a position, it must also receive a continuous input of external energy to resist any possible perturbations. In other words, it must be prepared and keep fighting, otherwise it will slip from this position.
What do I want to say? What does this have to do with whether people like stability or not?
If you feel that you are stable and can maintain your current position without any effort, it is because you are in a state of "minimum energy". If you don't work hard, you won't fall, and there will be no consequences. That's not because you won't fall, but because you have reached an extremely low point, and there is no lower place nearby to fall to.
Perhaps you will say: How could this happen? I am better than many people and cannot be at the lowest point. Yes, that’s why I said “extremely low”, not “rock bottom”.
"All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others." Maybe your lowest point is higher than many people's highest points. Maybe you don’t realize that what you were born with may be what others are struggling to pursue. Maybe you will understand that what you are desperately chasing is just the starting point of others.
I am not an advocate of "successful learning", nor do I think that "climbing up" is necessarily good, nor do I think that "people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places." The sentence makes sense.
I just feel that this kind of "stability" is an invisible cage and a constraint. Even if you want to go out and have a look, sometimes you will be crushed by your own gravity and pull yourself back to the original position.
"Stable" means losing the possibility of change, whether the change is good or bad. "Stability" is good because it eliminates the possibility of getting worse; but "stability" also has disadvantages because it also blocks the possibility of getting better. Whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages is something you need to weigh yourself.
I personally feel that the road of life is so wide, and there are so many possibilities. Consciously or unintentionally, I tie myself to this "stable" basin, which is more or less like sitting in a well and looking at the sky. . Walk more, see more, lift up the sail to see the real sea, even if it requires a lot of effort, even if there is a possibility of encountering a storm, it is better than lying comfortably in a "stable" haven.
When one day, you break free from the shackles of "stability", overcome your laziness and inertia, and after a hard fight, you finally stand at the extremely high point of instability. Maybe you will feel that the rest of your life is a smooth road.
But life is not two-dimensional. There are too many problems you have to face.
Perhaps you will find that the peak in one direction is just the valley in another direction, and the road ahead is still too long.
Finally one day, you discover that the real life is like this - ups and downs, twists and turns, sometimes falling into the bottom of the valley, and sometimes it is dark and bright.
Knowing the reality of life, but still willing to step out of the "stable" little oasis and embark on the thorny but picturesque road, I think this is true bravery and optimism.
Youth Inspirational Stories Part 3
Xiaofeng is called the "Inspirational Sister" by everyone. Her QQ signature always has the sentence: "Life is a marathon." I understand. , what she means is that life is a long contest, and it is not about winning or losing at the beginning. You still don’t know who will laugh at the end. Let’s see, my sister will be the final winner in the long journey!
However, I really don’t like the saying “life is a marathon”. This kind of statement always makes a picture appear in my mind: an old horse running hard, with endurance and the ability to endure hardships. It kept running towards the destination, but fell tragically at the moment it arrived at the destination. ——Because it has been fighting hard all its life, fighting to win or lose, and tried its best, so it collapsed on the field from exhaustion.
It would be really sad to live your life in this state. I think it’s better not to treat life like a marathon. Why do we have to compete with others to win or lose? Why not treat life as a playing field? Life is your business alone, and marathon is a competition, and everyone is here to win. Life must be measured by one's own steps, so why involve oneself in a life-and-death contest?
Don’t treat life like a marathon. It doesn’t matter whether you are faster or slower. It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose. It doesn’t matter if you are overtaken by others. The key is how you feel. If you regard life as a marathon, you will always have a tense string in your heart, you will always look at the banner of victory in front of you, and you will always be wary of being surpassed. In this way, you will ignore the beauty of the life process.
I like another saying: life is a walk. Treat life as a walk, ignore utilitarian goals, don't compete with others, and don't compete with yourself, just walk comfortably. In this walk, whether it is fast or slow depends entirely on your own state of mind and willingness, and you don't care who is passed by you. Life is a walk. You can stroll and enjoy the scenery along the way; you can walk quickly and experience the joy and pleasure; you can stop and say good morning to the dewdrops in the morning and wave to the white clouds in the sky.
How wonderful it is to walk to a waterless place and sit and watch the clouds rise!
Some people say that this is the realm of a saint, which is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. In fact, it’s just because we carry too many things, too many utilitarian things that overwhelm us, creating a tiring marathon battle. As long as you are willing to give up some unnecessary burdens, life can really become a poetic walk.
Treat life as a walk, and you will experience the fun of appreciation and picking. We often say that the destination is not important, the scenery along the way is the most important. As we walk through life, we encounter beautiful scenery, stop and appreciate it, enjoy the fun of life, and make life vivid and graceful. Turgenev once said: "The most beautiful thing in life is to pick up flowers scattered on the roadside while walking, then your life will be beautiful and fragrant." When walking in life, you must know how to pick up the beauty and leave the fragrance for the years.
I think that people who regard life as a marathon will not bother to pick up flowers scattered on the roadside. They have no time to pay attention to beautiful things. If they live too tiredly, their lives will be tiring and boring.
Let’s treat life as a walk. As we walk, the grass will become green, the flowers will bloom, and we will encounter beauty unexpectedly.
