Where there is a will, there is a way. This sentence expounds the dialectical relationship between "ambition" and "success": "ambition" can be "success", and if you want to be "success", you must be "ambition"; Without ambition, things can't be done. (In view of the argument, analyze the dialectical relationship between the two)
This sentence is very reasonable and can tell the true meaning of "everything depends on human effort". Isn't it? Please see: During the Spring and Autumn Period, wuyue competed for supremacy, Wu Sheng was defeated, and Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was put in prison. (The historical story of "Courage to Eat and Drink" tells the true meaning of "success") But he was unwilling to give in, determined to take revenge, and finally defeated the State of Wu, leaving a beautiful talk of "Courage to eat and drink"; The famous mathematician Hua (a great change from not graduating from junior high school to a mathematical giant) once again emphasized the true meaning of success: determination first. When he was a child, faced with the reprimand of "no mathematical mind", he established his own ambition. Although he didn't even have a junior high school diploma, he eventually became a giant in the field of mathematics ... Many politicians and scientists at home and abroad proved the correctness of the sentence "Where there is a will, there is a way" with their own actions.
But can "where there is a will, there is a way"? Not exactly. Because there are still some conditions that play an important role between "ambition" and "achievement". Without these conditions, even if you are ambitious, you will accomplish nothing. The key conditions among these conditions are as follows:
First, the "ambition" of those who have the will should conform to the objective reality. In other words, the "ambition" set by a person cannot be a fantasy or fantasy divorced from objective reality; When "ambition" conflicts with objective scientific laws and is divorced from each other, then "things" will never be "achieved". For example, some people are determined to develop perpetual motion machines, and they have spent their whole lives on it, but they have never developed them. Why is this? The reason is simple: its ambition does not conform to the objective law. The knowledge of physics tells us that when the machine is running, mechanical energy is converted into other forms of energy, and the loss of energy in the process is inevitable. Therefore, the "ambition" of developing perpetual motion machines will never come true. It can be seen that meeting the requirements of objective reality is a necessary prerequisite for the success of the cause of "where there is a will, there is a way". From one aspect, it is discussed that meeting the requirements of objective reality is a necessary prerequisite for the success of the cause of "those who have a will", and the central argument is demonstrated from the side.
Second, the "ambition" of a willing person must be an eternal "perseverance" (the second premise of making up your mind) and must be devoted to unremitting hard work. That is to say: you can't aspire to be a scientist today, a writer tomorrow and a politician soon, so you always yearn for it, and its "things" will be very difficult; Its ambition must always point to a goal. No matter how the outside world changes, no matter what setbacks it encounters, it is "spoony". This is even more emphasizing: with the "perseverance" that never changes, there must be actions that never change. In order to realize your ambition, don't be afraid of difficulties, sarcasm, setbacks and failures; We should continue to work hard, continue to explore, open our diligent feet and trudge on the winding mountain road leading to success. Only in this way, and only in this way, can we "where there is a will, there is a way" (this paper discusses that "perseverance" is another premise of "where there is a will, there is a way", and discusses the central argument from another side. Shi, a great historian and writer in ancient China, was determined to write a unique historical work when he was young. To this end, he not only devoted his whole life to the voluminous history books, sorting out broken chapters, traveling with the people and collecting rich historical materials. Even after being imprisoned and tortured, he didn't become depressed. On the contrary, he became more determined and depressed. Inspired by the lofty ideal of "writing history", he worked hard to write, and finally wrote China's masterpiece from Xuanyuan to Hanwu for more than 3,000 years in his later years. The fact that Sima Qian made unremitting efforts to finally complete Historical Records once again strongly illustrates the view that "where there is a will, there is a way".
In short, "where there is a will, there is a way" does not mean that there is a will, but only shows the dialectical relationship between "where there is a will, there is a way": where there is a will, there is a way; Where there is a realistic will, there is no way; And where there is a will that conforms to reality, there is no way. Only by organically integrating the above conditions can we "do things well".
Young friends, the flowers of success are ready to be dedicated to everyone who has the will, but can you get them? It's up to you. (Finally, by analyzing the relationship between ambition and achievement, the central argument is further discussed. )
Comment and analysis
The topic is the central argument of this article "Where there is a will, there is a way". Pay full attention to the rationality and universality of the discussion. Firstly, the dialectical relationship between "ambition" and "success" is expounded. Through comparative analysis, readers feel that "ambition" means "achievement" and "lack of ambition" means "failure", which naturally leads to the following. The story of Gou Jian, the King of Yue, and Hua, a mathematician, is also quoted to prove the correctness of this truth. Then it analyzes two preconditions of "confirmation". Finally, combined with real life, I emphasize the view that "where there is a will, there is a way".

What kind of start is a good start?
Qiao Mengfu said that the beginning of the article should be like a "phoenix head". This sentence vividly States two characteristics that a good beginning should have-short and beautiful. Short, so that readers can understand the argument or topic, so as to grasp the main idea of the full text; Beautiful, can attract readers. As Xie Zhen in the Ming Dynasty said, "When you start a sentence, it sounds like firecrackers." How crisp and neat firecrackers are! Don't procrastinate, procrastinate. Firecrackers are very attractive and attract people's attention at once. So should the beginning of a good article.
Writing instruction
The central argument is at the beginning of the article.
Some argumentative essays come straight to the point and put forward the central argument of the article at the beginning, such as "talking about bones" To get to the point and put forward the central argument, it is necessary to conceive the outline of the argument before writing, and pay attention to whether the expression of the argument itself is clear and thorough, so as to make the whole argument more distinct.
Example 3
Failure is the mother of success?
Now, some people use the phrase "failure is the mother of success" to encourage themselves when they fail or encounter setbacks. This book is beyond reproach, but it doesn't matter if you think you have failed. It seems that there will always be success after failure. You don't sum up the failure seriously. As a result, you lose, lose again, lose three times ... you will never succeed. This is exactly the same as Lu Xun's The True Story of Ah Q, and it is a method of spiritual victory. At the beginning of the article, I put forward a clear view that "failure is the mother of success" is exactly the same as Ah Q written by Lu Xun, and it is completely a spiritual victory method! )
After failure, don't lose heart, don't lose heart, sum up experience and lessons, and continue to work hard. But in spite of this, failure still fails. How did it become a successful mother? I don't think this sentence has any philosophical significance. Failure means you can't do it. In this respect, you are still a weak person, or the winner is stronger than you. You should be ashamed (of course, you can't commit suicide by caesarean section as soon as you fail, like the Japanese samurai), instead of brazenly saying that "failure is the mother of success" and posing as a winner. In fact, there are many factors for success, such as subjective efforts, objective environment, accidental opportunities and so on. , but nothing can compare with failure.
Must failure be behind success? I do not think this is necessarily the case. (Ask questions, make people think, and then deny them) You can't succeed without your own efforts. Therefore, the first time you do something, you should be serious, work hard, be responsible for what you have done, and never think, "It doesn't matter if you fail, you can start over." Everyone knows that playing games has certain rules. In real life, if something fails, it is that the game is over and there will be no second chance. The skydiver failed to perform in the air, and his parachute did not open. If you want to "do it again", I'm afraid you have to wait for the next life! Facts have proved that failure does not mean success next time, which strongly shows that there is no success after failure.
Losers are always wrong. At that time, the powerful Qing Dynasty failed once. As a result, it will take us hundreds of years to restore China's position in the world in the early Qing Dynasty. The reason why the United States can call itself the world police is that economic success has promoted all aspects. Success is success. It is obvious that China promotes "Phoenix" (bicycle) and the United States promotes Audi. This is the gap between success and failure. Failure, let alone being a mother, can't even be a grandson!
The Japanese are efficient because they are not allowed to fail, but only to succeed, otherwise they will go home and be "watchdogs". So they do things seriously, quickly and with quality, which makes you feel at ease. No wonder Japanese color TV sets are in short supply no matter how expensive they are in the market, while domestic color TV sets can only be piled up in warehouses. Others are successful, will your loser have the majesty of a mother in front of the winner? Since the 1960s, why has Japan developed so fast? Because Japan can only succeed, not fail, and we have to take a "mother" road to succeed. Present facts, analyze and prove that failure is not allowed to succeed with the powerful national strength of developed countries.
Maybe the idea of "not failing" will bring us a little pressure, but without pressure, can we do good things as we please? In the past, there was no pressure on the "big pot rice", and everyone was muddling along; Now competing for posts is more motivated and more "hard". Always leave yourself a way out. Without the spirit of throwing caution to the wind, you can't give full play to your efforts. Turn stress into motivation, and things will get better. Under the pressure of "not failing", things will be better.
Ah Q's time is over. We should face up to failure, admit failure, forbid failure, do everything well, strive for success and stay away from failure! (Finally, deepen the point of view again)
Comment and analysis
At the beginning of the article, it is clear that "failure is the mother of success" is exactly the same as Ah Q's method of spiritual victory, with novel and distinct views; Then it is demonstrated in depth at different levels: "Failure is failure, which has nothing to do with success", "Failure does not necessarily lead to success" and "Failure is the mother of success". Finally, after pointing out all kinds of wrong attitudes towards failure and its consequences, the author emphasizes to face up to failure and do everything well under the pressure of "not failing"
Example 4
Ask for advice with an open mind and don't be ashamed to ask.
Wu Xiaohe
A geography teacher was stumped by a student's question. He honestly admitted that he didn't know and didn't stop there. Instead, when he was on a business trip, he went to look up information, consult colleagues and ask fellow travelers, and finally got the answer. This incident tells us a truth: the most effective way to gain true knowledge is to ask for advice with an open mind and not be ashamed to ask questions. From the fact that a teacher is stumped by a student's question, the central argument is drawn: the most effective way to gain true knowledge is to ask for advice with an open mind and not be ashamed to ask questions.
Many famous scholars and scientists seek advice with an open mind and are not ashamed to ask questions to seek and accumulate knowledge. Li Shizhen wrote Compendium of Materia Medica for decades and read more than 800 classics. When studying ancient books, I found that the views of various factions were inconsistent and contradictory, so I went deep into reality and personally "collected medicines". At the same time, I consulted many doctors, pharmacists, woodcutters, fishermen and others with practical experience, and finally identified and verified more than 1000 drugs recorded in past dynasties, and made new scientific conclusions for them. Russian scholar and poet lomonosov walked 2,000 kilometers to Moscow to study, but was rejected by the school because he was not a noble child. Later, he pretended to be the son of a foreign aristocrat and entered the Slavic-Greek-Latin College. Not knowing Latin, the teacher asked him to sit in the last row. Most of the children in the class are thirteen or fourteen. They laughed at him: "A fool in his twenties came to learn Latin!" " "However, lomonosov turned a blind eye to the teacher's indifference and classmates' ridicule. He just listened attentively, asked for advice modestly and learned Latin sentences. Later, he was sent to Germany to study with outstanding talent and excellent Latin level. Finally, from a young fisherman to a famous scientist. The achievements of these successful people are inseparable from their modesty in seeking advice and shameless questioning. With the story of Li Shizhen and lomonosov asking for advice modestly, this paper demonstrates their success and asking for advice modestly from both Chinese and foreign sides. It is inseparable to ask questions without shame, so as to demonstrate the argument. )
Liu Kai, an ancient scholar in China, said: "The learning of a gentleman must be a person who seeks knowledge, asks and learns from it, and learns from each other's strengths." . Non-learning, no doubt; Don't ask, don't know. "Learning and asking complement each other. A person's wisdom is limited and his knowledge is infinite, so he will always encounter many problems in his study. We advocate seeking advice with an open mind and not being ashamed to ask questions, that is, we should seek truth from facts when encountering problems, don't pretend to understand if we don't understand, ask more people if we don't understand, and finally break the spirit of asking questions so as to acquire knowledge. There is a young worker in Shanghai, who only attended primary school and was admitted to liberal arts in colleges and universities by self-study. When the reporter asked him the secret of his success, he said, "Ask people for advice at any time when you encounter problems. You can find my teacher on the road, in parks and bookstores. There are thousands of such teachers. "There is no shortcut to learning. The young man's road to success tells us that the most effective way to acquire knowledge is to ask for advice with an open mind and not be ashamed to ask questions. (Re-emphasize the central argument)
It takes courage to ask others for advice. Many of our classmates are always reluctant to ask for advice when they encounter problems. They feel embarrassed and afraid that others will say they are ignorant. Then, from many examples mentioned above and geography teachers, we should understand that people can ask for advice with an open mind and are not ashamed to ask questions. If we have problems, can't we ask our classmates and teachers? Confucius said, "In a threesome, there must be a teacher." Let's hold the attitude of "everyone is my teacher", ask for advice modestly and gain true knowledge!
Comment and analysis
At the beginning of the article, the central argument is drawn from a story: asking for advice with an open mind and not being ashamed to ask questions is the most effective way to obtain true knowledge, and the argument is clear and concentrated. Then, take Li Shizhen and lomonosov as examples to prove the correctness of the argument. Quote famous sayings, find evidence from us and prove the argument again. The structure of the article is reasonable, and the demonstration process is clear and convincing. Finally, it is persuasive to sum up with Confucius' words!

What are the criteria for a good beginning of an argumentative essay?
First of all, be clear.
A good beginning, let the reader know what you want to say at once, that is, let the reader know your argument or topic. Bai Juyi said: "The first sentence is aimed at its purpose", and he advocated making the beginning clear. Li Tu said in "The Essentials of Articles": "Words begin with perfection." In short, let readers know what you are talking about and know its purpose from the beginning.
Second, be beautiful.
Only beauty can attract readers. The beauty at the beginning of the article mainly refers to the beauty of skills, such as setting suspense, using allusions, quoting famous sayings, asking questions, highlighting goals, rebounding and so on. Formal beauty is the guarantee of content beauty, and the two complement each other. Never underestimate the formal beauty and skill at the beginning of an article. With this kind of beauty, you can take the lead and attract people to read your article. In this sense, "a good beginning is half the battle".
Third, simplicity.
Simplicity is the guarantee of clarity. Some candidates like to repeat raw materials when writing material compositions, which is too wordy. What should I do if I start with raw materials and can't repeat them? There are two ways: one is to "summarize" raw materials; The other is to select representative sentences from raw materials to let readers know what raw materials generally mean, and never quote more raw materials.

3. The central argument is in the middle of the article.
Some argumentative essays don't put forward the central argument at the beginning of the article, but tell a story or quote a fact. The author either leads the argument directly from it or adds a little extra points to the quoted fact.
