Sequoia? cooperate
I have always marveled at the height of redwoods, but their roots are surprisingly shallow. So, what makes them giants in the plant world? Yes, it is cooperation!
I think sequoia is the same. What should people do? So, I embarked on the road of exploring "cooperation" and looking for it. ...
Open the long scroll of history, singing bursts, beautiful women dancing, and Fu Cha, the king of Wu, sang wine. They didn't know that the gate of Wu had been broken. A sharp sword suddenly pierced Fu Cha's throat, and gradually (splashed) a bitter and churning blood flower. Gou Jian's face flashed with the light of a sword, resolute. Gou Jian finally rehabilitated the country. But who knows, it is the beauty in this song and dance that holds up the dream of rejuvenating the country for a generation of kings. And Wen Zhong followed behind the stone. It was the cooperation of this monarch and minister that sharpened Gou Jian's sword. Without the cooperation of the monarch and his subjects, even if Gou Jian slept all over the firewood in Qian Shan and tasted the bitterness of the world, it would only be wishful thinking and empty talk for the 3,000 Yue family to swallow the miracle of Wu. It is these ministers who let us see the power of cooperation and understand that cooperation can make the strong, even the strong.
Do you remember? Yan, Zhao, Han and Wei are not allies, but intend to cooperate and jointly attack Qiang Qin. But the six countries were selfish, and finally the alliance was defeated by Qin's troops. Naturally, Qin Shihuang unified the six countries. Since we have chosen cooperation, we should give in to each other and lose a country for a little self-interest. Is it worth it? Not worth it!
Looking forward to the present, cooperation rekindles passion in the new century, and even the humble corners are full of elegance of cooperation. Because of cooperation, global economic integration; Because of cooperation, bird flu and SARS are no longer rampant; Thanks to cooperation, people in the tsunami in Indonesia are no longer sitting still.
It can be seen that cooperation is crucial from plants to people, from countries to the world. The strength of a tree is small, but the strength of the mountain forest is great, where there are bamboos, green trees, birds and flowers; The strength of one person is limited, but the strength of a group of people is infinite, and how many great men shine with wisdom in the sea of people; The power of a country is not small, and the power of the world is even greater. As long as everyone pays, the world will be brilliant.
Friend, would you like to join me on the road to explore the true meaning of "cooperation"?
(This is a typical argumentative essay for junior high school students: the central topic is put forward from the beginning, demonstrated with positive and negative examples, combined with ancient and modern times, according to reality, and then echoed back and forth, eloquently and eloquently on the grounds of "exploration"; From the beginning of asking questions to setting questions and parallelism, rhetoric is everywhere, and the language is sharp and coherent
Argumentative reasoning should have a little depth, be convincing to the maximum extent, and pay attention to logic. The degree of correlation and the depth of reasoning in this paper give people the feeling that they are not in place and do not quench their thirst. There are still some sentences that are not fluent and have typos. "Jade also has flaws", so there is no need to be harsh on the composition in the examination room. And with the deepening and accumulation of learning, the defects of students' argumentative papers will gradually disappear. )
Raise the sail of unity
Magnificent redwoods, soaring, invincible wolves, fearless behemoths and majestic termites all reveal the importance of unity and cooperation from their noble breath. Because unity is strength.
There is an old saying: "The weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as human harmony." In today's burning passion, team consciousness is particularly important. Unity is not lip service, but effort and action. Unity is a belief, a will, and a driving force to push ships across the sea of life! If you write this sentence after the first paragraph, is it even worse! The topic is more focused! In addition, the words before the second paragraph are unnecessary, and the article is more concise. )
Throughout ancient and modern China and foreign countries, how many celebrities have written a song of unity in the long river of life! The battle of Guandu is one of the few famous examples in history. Before the war, our soldiers were in high spirits, but our strategist Yuan ran away from the battle. Cao Cao deserves to win the battle. Isn't this a war of unity and victory? The broadcast of the dance Guanyin with a Thousand Hands touched hundreds of millions of Chinese people. All these girls left us was a face of Tai Lihua. Didn't they move China because unity overcame fame and fortune? (This sentence does not establish a causal relationship. As the biggest dark horse in this World Cup, Ghana successfully emerged from the "group of death" after successively defeating the European fighter Czech team and Uncle Sam American team. It is undeniable that unity has given Africans the capital to fight against Europe and the United States. On the other hand, losers lack a sense of unity. During World War II, British and French allied forces huddled in maginot line, watching German fascists trample on neighboring countries such as Poland and Czech Republic, and the last tragic scene-Dunkirk retreat. A large number of facts have once again proved the correctness of the famous saying "Unity is strength". (The positive and negative examples of ancient and modern China and foreign countries can be described as full of arguments and "covering all aspects". )
Unity is strength, harder than iron and stronger than steel. The lion is the overlord of the grassland, but he doesn't have the speed of a leopard or the strength of a bull, but he has a strong sense of pride. In today's society, we also need to unite this great force. Family unity will create a lot of wealth, class unity will win the championship in the competition, and national unity will make the country rich and strong, the people safe, and its status in the international arena will also be improved. So I want to say that no matter how big the country is or how small the family is, unity will always be an inexhaustible source of strength! (This paragraph focuses on the meaning, and the language is quite convincing in one go. )
In this case, let's unite the people around us and overcome all difficulties together! Raise the sail of unity and cross the sea of life together! (Make a call, but also stick to the topic, which is a standard argumentative style. )

In my mind, I often see their majestic posture, tall, standing and never falling down; In my memory, their majestic posture is always rippling, majestic, solemn and eternal, and they are engraved in my heart like that, turning into immortal scenery and beautiful scenery for thousands of years.
Handle ring
You cross the line, you don't keep the laws of your ancestors, you fight violence with violence, mediocre people don't show compassion, you are magnificent and fearless. He who doubts his career can accomplish nothing; People who doubt their abilities can't succeed. Gan Long sharpened his knife, but you turned a blind eye; Du Qing bit Kouga, but you turned a blind eye; You turn a blind eye to your son's pious words and criticisms. You split the cage, and the clouds are on it; You break the shackles and the mountains and rivers are magnificent; When you kick open the fence, ghosts and gods clap their hands for joy. There is no hierarchy in punishment, the people cheer, the land is private, and the people are happy. Therefore, the township and city are governed, so the soldiers are strong, so the princes are afraid, and Qin is the hero.
Shang Yang, I read you over and over again. I admire your lofty aspirations and your spirit, and I am shocked by your ambition and heroism. Your image will always be imprinted in my memory, shining.
Divine state
Fishing with a pole is leisurely. Someone advised you to be an official, but you turned a blind eye. You can't go to a messy career with your arrogant attitude. Regardless of the state of Chu, you would like to be a big tree that watches the moon alone in the breeze, playing the piano and singing in the west of Nanshan where chrysanthemums are in full bloom and among the pine forests with bright moons. Your poem is written in the sky, the flying life hangs on the shore, the heart lamp is lit, the heart incense is burning, and the mountains and plains are full of long sleeves and dances, sweeping away the haze!
I read you again and again, Zhuangzi, your indifference and calmness make me admire, your freedom and your freedom fascinate me, and your figure will always be printed in my heart and never forgotten.
Zhaojun's slender figure gradually drifted away; The unique taste of Banchao in the Western Regions for more than 20 years is cold; Tai Lihua performed a beautiful dance in the silent world; Helen Keller is looking for the light of life in the dark ... Their figures are fixed in my heart, because they tell me the meaning and glory of life with their actions.
There are some words, they are lofty and great; Their names will go down in history and will be immortal for generations to come.
Some things are true and great; They are engraved in people's hearts and shine brightly.
Some people's images are deeply imprinted in my heart and will never be forgotten.

Hide the world in a quiet place with no scenic spots, Sai Xian Mountain. Huang Yao is like a dream, like a wisp of smoke floating in a corner of my memory.
There is no dazzling brilliance here, only khaki walls and small black and gray tiles. An old man with silver hair stood on the railing. There is neither sadness nor laughter in the eyes, only a kind of peace and serenity. Two old trees snuggle up to each other and are intertwined. The exposed roots are like the veins on the arm of a thin old man, inadvertently highlighting (highlighting) a little hard work and tenacity. Some people say it's pain, I say it's not. It is the lifeblood of wind, frost and rain.
The quiet temperament is the appearance of Huang Yao, and the faint literary spirit is the connotation of Huang Yao. During the reign of Kanggan, every scholar was in high spirits, and romantic poetry and wine had long been restrained. Today, Huang Yao's gentleman is like jade, and his tentacles are moist. Poems and plaques are like yellowed business cards, showing that peerless celebrities have washed away the lead. The so-called tenderness is like water, and the so-called outstanding bone feeling is self-evident.
Huang Yao remained unmoved. People here in Leshan don't know that they are benevolent (benevolent), but people here enjoy water, although they don't know that they are benevolent (wise). Walking around, all I see are frolicking children, all of whom have a three-point gas field; Sitting under the eaves, the old man with crane hair still wears seven-point antique style. Chai Men dogs bark, chickens crow inside, and the fragrance is deep. However, all the scenery here has a kind of indifferent wind dew. Huang Yao is another unfinished floating painting. Sunset, curling smoke is the smell of the ancient town, the muffled sound of dressing and cooking is the pulse of the ancient town, and the silent singing and crying between buildings is the soul of the ancient town. The wooden door of Qingshi Street is always thick and full of details. When you open the door, it sounds like a silent memory waking from sleep. When you take a step forward, you will feel dizzy and lost. I wonder what year it will be. Huang Yao is still a maze of time. When you stare at a small bridge with overlapping vines, it seems that you are staring at history. In fact, you are staring at fashion, the fashion of 500 years ago. When you shuttle through lonely alleys, it seems as if you are traveling through loneliness. In fact, you are bustling, bustling, bustling. When you touch the faded lintel, what you feel seems simple, but what you feel is exquisite, engraved by the passing years and described by the years.
Just to listen to the drizzle in Wan Li and beat the rich, just to guess the past of the ancient temple, just to write down the past of the ancient town in a fleeting impression.

A ray of sunshine, or spewing out from the hills, or filtering out from the dark clouds, or rippling in the spring breeze, or doting on the winter snow ... like a red wooden fish beating chaos, it woke up. The waves wash the heart, so it is warm. Moistening my heart, depressing, I thought of my grandmother.
When I was a child, I didn't like my grandmother because she was too strict with me. I often avoid her and play hide-and-seek with her. As soon as she arrived in the East Room, I hid in the Westinghouse. Hardly had she reached the courtyard wall when I ran under the table. Grandma wrapped her little feet. I always smile and watch her limp behind me. I'm always angry with my grandmother, but she never hits me, but that time ...
I went to my classmate's house to play, and I didn't remember to go home until about 9: 30. When I got home, I heard a voice that I will never forget: "Xiaojing ..." It was grandma! She wept bitterly. The sound crossed the night sky and hit my heart. Grandma's crying melted the ice in my heart (for no reason. ), knead into the softest place in my heart. Tears fell silently like broken beads. I ran home as fast as I could and ran into my grandmother at the door. Grandma gripped my arm tightly. I looked up and saw grandma's face was anxious, but her eyes sparkled with joy and tears swirled in her eyes. I also burst into tears and hugged my grandmother. Although I was beaten by my grandmother when I got home, my heart was warm.
Later, I moved away and left my grandmother, only to find that what I like best is actually shaking her shoulder happily and willfully under her warm eyes, or making unreasonable noises, and then looking at her with a serious face and listening to her caring nagging. I like her calling my name "Xiao Jingna ..." She always drags behind her name for a long time. I like to see her in my dreams, and I seem to have regained her favor. Whenever I pester my grandma, I really hope my dream won't wake up. ...
Now that grandma is gone, there will always be grandma's smile in the warmest corner of my heart.
There is always the deepest impression in my mind (corresponding to "deepest", I should write "always". ) Grandma's figure is covered with white clouds. Behind me, Grandma's love wraps me to continue my long journey.
Live in the flower season of life
Life, an all-encompassing eternal proposition, is hard to explain by how many sages have exhausted their efforts; Many masters have tried their best to solve the mystery. One argument leads to countless definitions; Several retrospectives have left me an eternal mystery.
"I dare not say what life is, but I dare say what life is like." Yes, in my opinion, life is like earth, life is like a flower, and you and I live in the flower season all our lives.
Life is more beautiful than peony, more beautiful than rose, more aloof than bluegrass, fresher than jasmine, chrysanthemums are the bones and muscles, and plum blossoms are the charm, the most lasting and the most gorgeous.
Life is the shape, life is the foundation. When you plant the seed of a flower, the root will embrace the whole land of life. "The most precious thing for people is life. Only with life can we have everything." Hold fast to your roots and be as firm as a man; Your stem should be straight and you should be upright in the world; Your leaves are very comfortable, and wind, frost, rain and snow will carve vicissitudes on them; Your flowers will bloom beautifully, and the sun, moon and stars will shine on her with dazzling bright colors. Only when people dare to face life can they fully enjoy life. Wake up the embryos that are still sleeping after the cold winter, and the spring is infinite. Accept the selfless favor of the universe!
Since the flowers are in bud, we should consider the meaning of this life, why I bloom, and the reason. Whether the birds throw you into a deep pool by mistake, or the breeze blows you to the cliff. Don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged. Adversity is a test for flower of life. Today is a stagnant pool, and tomorrow you will promote the friendship between Wang Lun and Taibai. Today, this is a valley, and tomorrow you will lead Wu Lingren to get lost in a fairyland. There are brave men climbing cliffs, and there are brave men climbing cliffs, depending on whether you have the pride and courage.
Flowers are blooming, don't be complacent. This is the progress of life. Don't let the soil pollute the orchid heart, and don't be washed away by the clear ripples. Since we don't want to indulge in the past, we should stand proudly today. Fragrant and clear, spread your good name; Flowers, like flowers, spread your deeds. In this way, life is different from death, and living is meaningful.
Flowers are dying, and the flame of life cannot be extinguished. Cells have drifted to further destinations, and falling red will moisten the land under your feet. Pay this year, harvest next year, flowers bloom again, and you and I laugh among the flowers. This is equivalent to living and dying beautifully.
Laughing among flowers, who says life is not wonderful? Spring, summer, autumn and winter of solstice often bloom. In my opinion, life is like a flower, living in the flower season, you and I should treat it with care.
Love is eternal.
Love is like the stars in the sky, flickering and uncountable. There are many loves around us, and they have gorgeous names: the love between friends is called friendship; The love between relatives is called affection; The love between teachers and students is called teacher-student relationship ... as long as you observe carefully, you can find them.
Love is eternal, just like friendship;
Being able to play, sing, eat and laugh with friends is all because of the love between friends-friendship. Without him, you and I will become indifferent to our classmates, there will be no more laughter between classmates, and there will be no more colorful life on campus. What would happen if the world really lost friendship?
Love is eternal, just like family;
A warm word; Encouragement after failure; A cup of hot tea; Reminders when leaving ... these are all given to us by our family. Parents feed us again and again, coax us to sleep again and again, teach us to walk again and again, and tell us the truth again and again ... this is the embodiment of family affection and the teaching of family affection. What would happen if there were no family ties in the world?
Love is eternal, just like the relationship between teachers and students:
A patient answer to the question; An encouraging smile; The figure sent out in the rain ... these are flowers cultivated by teachers and students. Look at the glittering and translucent water drops, flashing on the newly opened petals.
Love is eternal, just like …
Love is like a stone. There is a lot of love around us. When you walk, you may not find them. Until one day, they fly into the sky and become stars, you will know that love will never change.
Love is eternal.
I used to live in a happy family. My father is a policeman and my mother is a nurse. This family of three was originally very happy, but due to an accident, our family lost a joy and happiness, but gained a burden, responsibility and sadness. Just ten years ago, my mother died at work because of an accident.
She is a great mother and a very responsible nurse aunt. The night before her death, she gave my father and me a vivid lesson seriously. She said, "What is the most important thing in a person's life? Is it happiness or knowledge? I don't think they are. Because in life, the most important thing is love. Only it will give us strength in difficulties and let us never give up. "
In fact, what my mother said can be summarized as: money, knowledge, happiness, happiness and even life are not important when people are alive. In contrast, the most important thing should be love. In our family, my father is a policeman and a guardian of peace. When they walk on the roadside, they always bear the brunt of the injustice, and truly "help each other when they see injustice." Isn't this a sign of love? Yes, every profession has its own requirements, like: "My mother is a nurse. Whenever she hears someone calling for help, she will take other uncles and aunts to save those who are in danger. " Because they know they need help, and because it is their professional need.
Love is eternal, but life is priceless. I think: whether it is the police dad who maintains peace or the nurse mother who saves lives, they all have the same emotion-love; They all have one thing-love. I summed up a formula: happiness+kindness-selfishness = love, that is to say, love is composed of happiness and kindness, selfish people will never have love, and selfish people will never get love for it.
I remember a lyric that said, "As long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world." Yes, a fence, three piles, a hero and three gangs. For everyone's happiness, the world needs enthusiasm. The road of life is tortuous and the road of life is long. No one can avoid encountering obstacles and sadness. As long as you and I are enthusiastic about helping each other, even the weakest person will become King Kong.
Dear friends, please remember that 2 1 century is a caring century. When you are in trouble, besides yourself, your family and your friends, there is one thing that can help you-love.
Love is always selfless.
I have feet in my eyes.
Foot is an important organ of human body. Walking depends on it, supporting the body depends on it, playing football depends on it ... feet have done so much for people, you should have your own ideas! The feet in my eyes are happy, painful, unknown and without ambition.
Feet should be happy!
Feet carry the most beautiful works in the world. It thinks that it is an indispensable tool for human beings, and the world can't function without itself. So we will try our best to help the development of mankind. Through the efforts of both feet, the world will become beautiful. I think it should be happy when it sees the fruits of its efforts.
Feet hurt, too
After years of walking and running, even the best feet can't bear it. When I see people covering their noses away from the stench it brings, when some parts of themselves become hard due to long-term friction, when people can't stand the itching caused by some germs it brings and kick around at will, and they are tortured out of shape, I think it should be painful.
Feet, still unknown!
Aren't you tired of what your feet have done for mankind? Don't! It also has troubles and sadness! But, so what? If it has a rest for one second, it may cause a game to be postponed, the contract to be signed may be rejected, and the bonus may be deducted if it is late. So 1 it has to work, and it has to put up with its own skeletons in the closet! When people succeed, they ask for nothing in return. This is obscurity!
But no ambition!
The brain is an important organ of the human body. It is high above and everything is under its control. Have you ever thought about being a boss? I can tell you: no. Because it is happy, it is painful, it is unknown, but it is not ambitious!
It likes its own way, it likes to live in such a happy, painful, unknown, but not ambitious way!
take one's own road
"Go your own way and let everyone talk!" This is Dante's famous saying. For hundreds of years, he has been inspiring people with lofty ideals to explore and pursue the light. Now, he has become the slogan for the younger generation to stand on their own feet. But some young people use Dante's words as a shield and refuse to give advice, which goes against Dante's original intention. Faced with the feudal autocracy in the Middle Ages and the pressure of the church forces, Dante preached freedom and democracy and advocated the Renaissance, which inevitably led to heavy siege and persecution, so he issued "Go your own way and let everyone say it!" Break an oath. This is the pursuit of a bright world and contempt for decadent rights, not stubbornness, not an excuse for depravity.
It is true that contemporary youth is a generation of independent thinking, pioneering and innovative, and we should go our own way. If you climb step by step with others, where can you develop? Where is the innovation?
Going your own way is unconventional, and others will inevitably judge. Among them, there are both well-intentioned criticism and guidance, as well as malicious ridicule and slander. What attitude should we take towards other people's comments? I think: one depends on one's own way, and the other depends on the nature of others' comments. Only by comparing the two can we decide our own choice.
First of all, it depends on whether you take the right path or the inclined path. If it is the right way, then we must stick to it and ignore the gossip-"Go our own way and let everyone talk!" Zhang Yimou is a famous director, photographer and actor. He "initiated a new era of China films". If he finishes filming Yellow Land, he will give in to the noise and stop. Where will the famous Red Sorghum be at the West Berlin Film Festival? How do China's films go to the world and shock the world? If the famous drug king and entrepreneur Bei Zhao Han goes with the flow, how can he walk out of the road of reform? Where will there be today's White pharmaceutical factory?
If you take a detour, why not change direction and embark on a smooth road, even though others have pointed it out? Zhu Mingying used to be a dancer in the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, but she has a good voice. He accepted the suggestion of Wang Kun, head of the delegation, and changed to singing, and finally became a famous singer at home and abroad. If she "walked all the way to the dark", it would be difficult for her to become a dancer like A Dai Ailian, and there would be no Zhu Mingying in today's music world.
If you go astray, you should welcome others to point out the maze; Stubborn, will eventually fall into the abyss. After Zhiqiang Chi became famous in the film industry, he indulged in pleasure. Although his teachers and friends tried their best to persuade him, he still stubbornly "went his own way and let everyone talk!" " Finally, he broke the law and went to prison. What's the point if he can listen to advice and pull back from the brink?
Among us young people, some are not good at learning and stuck in the horn; Some people covet material comforts and pursue low-level tastes ... If teachers, parents and classmates kindly persuade them, they will throw out a sentence-"Go your own way and let everyone talk!" This stubborn attitude is either ignorance or ignorance! I advise these friends to wake up quickly and turn over a new leaf!
Independent thinking is the ladder of success, and opinionated is the forerunner of failure.
In view of this, I will revise Dante's words, encourage young friends to go their own way, and ask others to point out the maze!
take one's own road
The last sentence of the preface to the first edition of Marx's Das Kapital quoted the famous saying of the great Florentine poet Dante: "Go your own way and let everyone talk!"
The three sources of Marxist philosophy content are originally a mixture of essence and dross. Marx founded materialism, but his dialectics came from Hegel, a thorough idealist philosopher, whom he respected most. Marx can correctly take what he needs from many things and establish his own ideological system. In his research and exploration, he always adhered to his own way-looking at everything with a scientific and dialectical eye, so he did not take sides with any faction; Similarly, it did not succumb to the encirclement and suppression of reactionary thinkers at that time. He just said confidently: Go your own way and let others talk! Finally, history has made a fair evaluation: Marx is immortal.
If Marx is confined to a wrong school; What would it be like if he fell in love with all Hegel's views, and if he succumbed to the accusations and insults of defenders? Undoubtedly, if these "ifs" are established, the history of the proletariat will be rewritten.
"Go your own way and let everyone talk!" It does not mean "arrogance", but a manifestation of self-confidence and an uncompromising pursuit of science and truth.
He is not "arrogant" because the "road" he said was found under the rigorous analysis of science.
I remember Mr. Lu Xun once said, "There are few heroes who have failed in China, few who have resisted tenaciously, and few soldiers who dare to fight alone ..." In other words, few people in China have dared to go their own way.
There are few people who dare to go their own way, and there are few social natural innovations; Without innovation, society will naturally follow the old rules; And conservative, society will inevitably go backwards.
Why do people in China seldom go their own way?
China has long had headless heroes who dared to beat the emperor, as well as giants who died chasing the sun. Why is everything a myth?
Tracing back to history and looking for the scars left by the wheel of history: the rapid disintegration of slavery made later feudal rulers realize that people all over the world could not serve themselves without powerful tools of ideological rule. Thus, in the turbulent melee, the rulers tried to find an orderly social structure.
The ruler's "eye" took a fancy to Confucius' Confucianism. Confucianism, together with the nothingness and indifference of Taoism and the indifference of Buddhism, finally put an "immortal and heavy" spiritual shackle on the people full of struggle and creation.
However, in the blood of China people, the pioneering spirit of ancestors still exists, and there are also people who resist and go their own way.
The coercive force of more than two thousand years can't be eliminated in a short time, and the inertia is still huge. As a result, there are all kinds of inferior quality in China today.
The traditional structure of China society is an extremely folded form. This repressive framework makes people lose the courage to explore and creative thinking. Some just follow the stinking "traditional morality" and melt their personality into the public, which will make people who once had many virtues lack sincerity, resilience and self-expression.
But I also want to say: the Chinese nation is still a great nation. Because in the long darkness, although the pursuit of truth has been stifled, some people still dare to go their own way. The people never lose heart.
Today in the 20th century, China is facing new challenges in the world, and China will take off with this change as its wings. Combining the universal truth of Marxism with China's concrete practice, taking our own road and building socialism with China characteristics is the basic conclusion we have drawn from summing up our long-term historical experience. When we transform the ancient leap into a modern force with unique colors in countless uniqueness, we can comfort the spirit of countless people with lofty ideals and be worthy of the title of "descendants of the dragon".
"Go your own way and let everyone talk!" This "road" is a road to dedicate oneself to the motherland and the nation, and it is also a road to struggle for the happiness of all mankind!
