It is very important to extract American classic prose from Youth Digest. Accumulating more materials and extracting American classic prose at ordinary times can improve our writing ability and broaden our reading range. Below, I have compiled excerpts of American classic prose from Youth Digest, and welcome your reference.
1' s dream is destined to be a lonely and painful trip.
Once you decide to be a person who walks to the top, it is doomed to be the beginning of loneliness.
The process of realizing dreams is a process full of sweetness, happiness, bitterness and pain, a process of giving up and persisting, and a process full of endless loneliness. Life is half a reality and half a dream, so the process of realizing dreams is also a process of experiencing the ups and downs of life.
The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny. On the way to realize your dream, there is an invisible but strong and tall wall-reality. Different people have different reactions to this wall. Some people choose to make themselves strong by their own strength, and then try their best to tear down this wall. Some people choose to make holes with tools or climb over by stairs.
Some people choose to take a detour. They firmly believe that roadside is also a road, and all roads lead to Rome. Some people choose to sleep under this wall and wait for others to help him overthrow it. It is conceivable that different measures correspond to different endings. Some people have succeeded, some have failed, and some are still standing still.
Realizing dreams is also a process of physical and mental destruction. In the process of realizing your dream, you will be crushed, you will not be understood, you will be marginalized, you will be laughed at, satirized, hated, resented, abandoned, and endure endless loneliness. In the process of struggling with reality, we will feel an invisible psychological oppression because of our smallness in front of reality, so we instinctively resist that invisible and soft psychological oppression. Because we are invisible and soft, our resistance is often bounced back to hurt ourselves.
When reality hits our dream, we try our best to protect it, but our defense seems weak, and it seems to be bounced back helplessly, like being blocked by an invisible net, like being killed by a dead ball in our own field. In this worrying process, we will have an indescribable state, but these should not let you give up. The previous night shop will be another new scene after the storm. Without contempt and patience, there will be no struggle to realize your dreams.
Just like a man in Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, he is not born to be defeated. You can destroy it, but even if you can't defeat it, the dream is tenacious and has strong vitality. It may be knocked down by reality for a while, but it never gives up looking for the right time to fight back against its opponent. Maybe we all said that I couldn't keep going, and I gave up, but in fact, we always had hope in our hearts and a heart that didn't want to give up. We are still working hard in great despair. What you can't get is always in turmoil, and that inner unwillingness always encourages you and reminds you not to give up and fight for it.
It has been two weekends, and the weather has become very cold. Sitting in my room, I feel a little cold from time to time. I was idle and bored, so I found a Youth Digest and flipped through it, just turning to an article entitled Truth is the Shadow of Doubt, so I read it carefully. In fact, what the author wrote in this article is only a trivial matter, but it makes people think deeply when reading it.
A French educational psychologist gave French pupils and Shanghai pupils the same test: there were 86 cows and 34 sheep on a boat. Q: How old is the captain of this ship? The answer of French primary school students is that more than 90% of the students raised objections and even laughed at the teacher's "confusion". Shanghai students' answer is that 90% of the students answered carefully, 86-34 = 52 years old. Only 10%. The students find this question ridiculous and can't answer it. To sum up, 90% of French students got it right, while only 10% of Shanghai students got it right. Therefore, the words quoted by the French educational psychologist really touched me. "Children should be educated to respect teachers, but more importantly, they should be educated to respect the truth. Doubt is not a fault, but always endless doubt is a fault. Only by daring to doubt can blind obedience be reduced. Where there is doubt, there is truth. Truth is the shadow of doubt. "
Although I am a teacher now, I should actually continue to study and read these instructive and enlightening articles, especially magazines like this, which seem simple, but contain rich philosophy. Let people learn a lot from it.
People who are better than you work harder than you.
"The full score of 15 is 100, the score of 4 is 99, and the score of 1 is 98." The report card of Tsinghua University's basic disciplines listed on the slide comes from the defense meeting of this year's special scholarship for undergraduates in Tsinghua University. The respondent is Han Yanjuan, a student of Grade 20 1 1 in Tsinghua University Department of Electronic Engineering. The slide attracted many netizens to watch and worship.
This is a "terrorist" report card, and this is a high-purity schoolmaster. What's even more amazing is that Han Yanjuan has always been a schoolmaster: in 20 1 1 year, he achieved excellent results in the national mathematics competition and physics competition, and was sent to Tsinghua, but he still participated in the college entrance examination that year and became the top science scholar in the province; In addition to winning the first place in the class for three years in a row, he also won prizes in competitions such as "Challenge Cup" and "National Mathematics Competition for College Students", published many English professional papers and won two scientific research patents. In addition, Han Yanjuan is the vice captain of Tsinghua University Waist Drum Team. A tenured professor at Stanford University in the United States commented: Han Yanjuan has exceeded my expectations for the best senior doctoral students at Stanford University so far.
Han Yanjuan has won the admiration and respect of netizens, which is obviously a good thing, because even in the era of increasingly diversified values, Xueba still has attractive charm, which is the hope of the times. Just as some people hate rich people but don't hate Yuan Longping, anyone who has real talent and practical learning and succeeds by his own efforts can always gain trust and admiration.
There is a popular saying: "The most terrible thing in this world is not that many people are better than you, but that people who are better than you work harder than you." No matter how impetuous the times are, there are always people who need to dive down and work hard.
