Appreciate adversity.
Do you still believe in the future with gratitude when the cobwebs mercilessly seal your stove, and when the smoke of ashes sighs the sorrow of poverty? When the sunset lingers on the back of the plateau alone, when the cold Gao Yuanfeng lifts its faint wings, do you still believe in the light with gratitude?
So, I have been thinking: What is gratitude?
With gratitude to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian resolutely went to the Western Regions, was demoted to Xiongnu twice, endured humiliation, but never forgot his mission, and finally opened up the Silk Road, which is famous in history. With gratitude to the people, Gou Jian worked hard, worked hard and had a rest, and finally got revenge, which was praised by later generations. Lei Feng studied hard, overcame difficulties, worked hard, lived a hard and simple life, and was ready to help others with his gratitude to the * * * production party. He developed the "nail spirit" with his young life. With gratitude to hundreds of millions of China fans, China women's volleyball team fought back with one heart and one mind, and finally let China women's volleyball team rise again after more than ten years of silence.

Looking back at history and reality, there are many examples of gratitude in adversity, which bother us and need us to understand it carefully.
Remember Helen who was deaf and blind? Keller wrote in his autobiography: "I thank nature for giving me warm sunshine, my parents for giving me a keen sense of touch, and my teachers for giving me wonderful knowledge ..." Such a severely disabled girl is grateful for her unfair talent, and she even thanks God's misfortune, because it is misfortune that makes her stronger and more unyielding than ordinary people. She overcame many difficulties and miraculously became a great writer.
I also remember Luo Xuejuan, the queen of breaststroke, said, "I thank my parents, my coach and my enemy." Yes, the enemy, the opponent on the field, gave her motivation, pressure and confidence to win. Why don't we treat every opponent in life with gratitude like Luo Xuejuan?
Yes, stop complaining about life, work or people around you. When you really live with gratitude, you will find that everything is so beautiful: thank your dear parents for breakfast, thank nature for the sunshine and rain, thank your teacher for teaching you knowledge, and even thank your opponent for letting you overcome another difficulty. ...
With gratitude in adversity, tomorrow will be better.
Learn to do this.
Everyone will have a chance to control their own life, but when stone of destiny is in your hands, do you know how to make it meaningful? Maybe you will say that a meaningful life is to do a lot of meaningful things!
So I often ask myself: What is worth doing? To live up to my life? Turning a page in history, I found the answer.
Just because of the guilty minister's excuse, he was put in prison and tortured. He survived with unyielding will in such an environment that countless people were heartbroken. While he was tortured, he interpreted his life in another way-reading historical records! He completed this magnificent masterpiece with his own life and painstaking efforts. It is no exaggeration to say that "a historian's swan song, Li Sao has no rhyme" It is better to use it to evaluate Sima Qian than to evaluate Historical Records. But why can Sima Qian write historical records so painfully? The reason is self-evident. But I understand that his "worth" is a writer's yearning, longing and pursuit of "truth", and he believes that he is worth it.
And Zhao Pu? Being a prime minister, one person is above ten thousand people, and in order to recommend sages, he will not hesitate to offend the imperial power. At that time, it looked like a joke about his career and life. But he didn't change his route again and again. Because he knows that his life is his own and also the country's. For the prosperity of the country, his adventure is necessary and necessary, because it is only worthwhile to do so.
History is a mirror, and the light of humanity it reflects shines on me forever. What about us?
Take risks for fame and fortune; How many times have I forgotten my responsibility as a social citizen for selfish desires? What is this for? Fame, career, pleasure ... these are countless cancers that desire attaches to life. They make people lose their true colors and forget what life is meaningful and what is worth doing. There are still some people who, for the so-called "worth it", pursue fame and gain, regardless of good and evil, lose themselves, but they don't know the history of the noble spirit. It has long been clear that only by planting a "doing" career will they bear the fruit of "worth it". I hope everyone can face the mirror of history and say "worth it" frankly!
have all one's marbles
I once read such a story: in a small mountain village, there was a disabled couple. The woman's legs are paralyzed and the man's eyes are blind. Spring, summer, autumn and winter: sowing, managing and harvesting ... Throughout the year, women observe the world with their eyes and men measure their lives with their legs. Time is like water, but it never washes away the happiness that permeates their faces.
When someone asked them why they were happy, they all asked in unison, "Why aren't we happy?" The man said, "I am blind, but her eyes can see!" " "The woman said," although my leg is paralyzed, his leg can still walk! " "
This is happiness, optimistic and open-minded attitude, and a beautiful life!
With this kind of mind, it is like having flowing water from the source, nourishing the smart eyes at all times, discovering happiness, discovering beauty and appreciating beauty: colorful flowers and long grass are all beautiful; Lonely smoke in the desert and sunset in the long river are beautiful. Will it be disappointing to lose your chrysanthemum? Why not savor the beautiful artistic conception of "leaving a residual lotus to listen to the rain" and "a residual chrysanthemum"? In the city, there are bustling high-rise buildings; In the countryside, there are small bridges, flowing water, wheat waves and frogs. This is optimism, this is happiness.
With this kind of mind, the mind is clear, beyond the dispute of fame and fortune, and I feel quiet and satisfied. Zhong Mingding lives in a high position and eats and prints symbols, which can be described as wealth. In the humble room, people can "tune the pipa and read the Golden Classics", tease insects, fish and raise flowers and birds, and be indifferent to their aspirations. With an ordinary job, you can feel the peace and ease of life. "Petals are like her face and willow leaves are like her eyebrows" is an innate pride: the infiltration of "poetic and self-improvement" can make you stand out from the crowd; Even if we encounter the frustration of "water stops us from moving", we should face the difficulties calmly and "sit and watch the clouds surge in Yun Qi" smartly. This is optimism, this is happiness.
Having an optimistic attitude towards life is the pillar of happiness. Happiness is the destination of optimism. If you want to be happy, you must first have an optimistic spirit.
Life is colorful, the key is to look at it with what kind of eyes: with the right perspective, you will find that life is so beautiful. Let's have this attitude towards life, like that couple, to find beauty and happiness.
