For a person of 18 years old, it seems that I have no right to comment on my life with little experience, but there is no lack of yearning for a better life. I said that time is like a poem and youth is like a dream. The poem is short, but rich in connotation. It is short-lived, just as Confucius felt when he stood by the water: "The deceased is like a husband." The passage of time seems very inhuman. We walked all the way from the ignorant children, crying and falling down, but laughing and singing to get up. Each of us sincerely with emotion, go forward and write our own poems. All the way up to now, I have stepped into the door of the university and become an adult and a social person. Here, we will continue to write our poem, a different line. I believe this line will be more mature, rational, thoughtful and attractive. Because the university is a place where people's taste and temperament can be improved, "a hundred flowers blossom", and that kind of fragrance infiltrates the soul and cultivates temperament.
As for dreams, it is a wonderful thing and a gift from God to young people. With dreams, we feel that life has pursuit and meaning. Hugo said in Les Miserables: "Man can only survive with material things; Only with ideals can we talk about life. Do you want to know the difference between life and life? Animals live, while people live. Without dreams, no one has a life. " The summary is very incisive and tells the meaning and connotation of living as a person. That is: struggle for the ideal life. It can be said that the ideal of life is for the ideal life. I remember the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, that is, the Mid-Autumn Festival in my third year of high school. In the evening, I run alone on the big playground to relieve my inner depression. I always felt that life at that time was very bitter and dark, and I struggled for my ideal university, but I failed in the exam, and I kept fighting, and even felt farther and farther away from that dream. I cried as I ran. On the big playground, it's quiet. Suddenly I looked up, and I saw the round moon, and the bright moonlight reflected on me. I thought at that time: if only I could enjoy the moon in the Weiming Lake of Peking University next Mid-Autumn Festival. This is really like a dream. A year passed in a blink of an eye. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival happened to be the second day I reported to Peking University. In the evening, the new students held a Mid-Autumn Festival class get-together by the unnamed lake. This Mid-Autumn Festival, gazing at the brightly lit Boyata and looking up at the bright moon, I can't help feeling deeply. At this party, everyone introduced themselves to each other. I told you about it, and my classmates said my dream came true. I said we probably all have dreams! Perhaps this dream is not as beautiful and sweet as originally imagined, but the process of chasing dreams is irreplaceable. It is our own life wealth, and it is probably a poem that only we can read.
It may be just a small dream for us to be admitted to a university and Peking University. In college, there are still many things waiting for us to discover, a lot of knowledge to learn, a lot of abilities to exercise and, of course, many dreams to pursue. I often think these days: What kind of poem is a university? What does college mean to us? Mei Yiqi, the first president of Tsinghua University, made an incisive exposition on the scientific connotation and practical significance of "the way of university" in "The Way of University": At the beginning of the book "University", he said: "The way of university lies in Mingde, Xinmin and perfection." If its purpose is concerned, understanding, profound knowledge, sincerity and integrity, and self-cultivation are "mingde"; The family, the country and the world are all "new people". It is an important picture of today's university education, and it is also a work of "one solution to the university". (Mei Yiqi: A Solution to the University, in The Spirit of the University, edited by Yang Dongping, published by Sanhai Press in 2000, p. 69-8 1 p. ) "stop at the best", the best is endless, and the best is a process, an absolutely unified process. First, there is relative goodness in a place at present, and it must stop here before it can be stable, quiet, safe, considerate and available. (On the History of Education in China, Hubei Education Press, 1997, pp. 359-361page) University is a symbol of wisdom and a place for seeking knowledge and truth. University is a spiritual home, a place to constantly enrich the mind and improve the quality. University is a new starting point for success in life and career.
In this big garden, we have too many choices, which means more confusion. Like a crossroads on the road, which road do you want to choose from left to right? On the campus of Peking University, we will meet too many strongmen, which means that we may no longer be the stars of the past and the pride on the honor roll of the college entrance examination. I need more humility and tolerance. First, I will accept mediocrity, but I will not be content with mediocrity. I will try to set up my own ideal and direction, and often ask myself, "Where is my dream?" Bing Xin always hung such a couplet in his home before his death: "The vicissitudes of life have been fixed, the sea in his chest is flying in his dreams." Liang Qichao once wrote a poem called "Water Tune", one of which reads: "If you don't hate the passage of time and worry about teenagers, it's better to kill half." Here, they all mentioned the word "worry", so what is "worry"? A belief and pursuit that often exists in the heart. With this kind of "worry", even if the world is vicissitudes, it is fearless. With an independent personality, it does not lose its way when the world changes and makes its own choices decisively at the crossroads of life. This kind of "worry" often wears away gradually because of the loss of time, which is a very sad thing, but it is also God's blessing to young people, giving our dreams to those who fly in the sky. Then how can we waste this precious opportunity? Dare to think and do, dare to fight and dare to rush, is my character! People's dreams are big and small. We can't say that the big one is good and the small one is bad, but we all know the truth. If you want to buy an apple within reach of a big tree, your ability can only be limited to "reaching" and you will never reach the highest branch. I remember when I graduated from high school, at the graduation meeting, the principal said to us: I hope everyone can do great things in the future. I think a person who has the ability to do great things will inevitably create more value for society. You can't just freeze your dreams on personal gains and losses. 17-year-old Marx said in his graduation thesis "Youth's Consideration in Choosing a Career": "If a person only works for himself, he may become a famous scholar, extremely clever and excellent poet, but he will never become a great and perfect person." Therefore, as college students, we should cultivate our feelings of caring about the world. After all, we will become the hope of society and the force to promote social progress and development in the future!
Of course, ideals alone are not enough. No matter how beautiful the flowers are, we should also plant sweet fruits. Otherwise, everything is just a castle in the air and a mirage. How can we write that beautiful poem and pursue our dreams? Yang Zhenning emphasized three "P's", which I think is very reasonable. "Perception (vision), persistence (perseverance) and strength (ability)." Attention is all about study, and exercise is always appropriate. In a university, the first thing worth paying attention to is the humanistic atmosphere. Strictly speaking, there is no pure natural landscape on campus, most of which are humanistic landscapes, which is also a major feature of China University landscape: the close combination of nature and humanities. For example, the Yanyuan building in Peking University originated from nature and is higher than nature. It is the crowning touch of a beautiful environment and a classic of campus culture. It realizes the unity of architectural function and environment, forms a harmonious rhythm with architectural groups, creates a variety of beautiful feelings with the spatial sequence of architecture and landscape, roads and forests, and embodies the unique humanistic care of architecture. Looking at the entire Yan Garden, the lake and the tower shadow, the mountains and rivers are interdependent, the green tiles and red tiles, and the trees are lush and beautiful. (Excerpted from Beijing Evening News, August 2002, issue 1 105 1) Next, we should pay attention to the master's style. Mei Yiqi said: The university is called big because it is not a building, but a master. Be humble and sincere and be diligent in asking questions. A few days ago, I went to the library of Peking University to see the calligraphy and painting exhibition, which mainly showed the calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting of contemporary famous artists. I just like painting and calligraphy, and I haven't studied it deeply, so I don't know much about the connotation of many paintings and calligraphy exhibited here. There happened to be an old man next to him who read it carefully and took a pen to record it in his notebook. I ventured to say, "Grandpa, I think you must know calligraphy and painting. Can you tell me something about it? " Grandpa smiled and said modestly, "I am engaged in Chinese painting and appreciate a work." Different people have different angles of appreciation. I can't tell you anything except my own opinion. " Next, he told me seriously the steps to appreciate this painting and what to appreciate. Then he talked about art from painting, and then talked about today's national conditions. My memory of him is still not deep. He said: Art is based on economy and politics, and it is a mirror reflecting the times. When grandpa mentioned his own experience, he said that he is 70 years old and has experienced the changes and development of the country. Suddenly I feel that everyone around me is a teacher worth learning, because everyone has an extraordinary story. Especially in Peking University, like my grandfather, he may be a well-known professor in a certain field or even an expert master, but they are all so ordinary, modest and amiable. As for the ability to exercise in college, in Chinese words: expert, knowledgeable and diffuse. First of all, you should master one or two specialized abilities, which may be your major or one of your advantages, such as speech, design, planning and so on. Then we should "blog", that is, we should get in touch with all kinds of things, read more books, participate in community activities and tap our potential. When we learn to a certain extent, we will integrate and even spread to other disciplines and become a compound talent needed by the times. This is an ability, but also a realm. Just like a frog at the bottom of a well, it is always open to the sky as big as the wellhead. Only by bravely jumping out can we reap the real blue sky!
There is a story: on the prairie, a lion kept running, but there was no prey in front of him. When asked why he ran, the lion said, I can only get food if I run faster than my prey. Similarly, a deer was running alone and asked him why he was running. The deer said, "I must run faster than other deer to avoid being eaten." This tells us: no matter how strong or weak, only one step ahead, continuous efforts and continuous transcendence can survive.
So, run hard for your dreams! Write a poem without regrets with our youth and passion!
