"If I learn English well, I will get the chance to go abroad"; "If my education were higher, I would find a better job"; If I were a bird, I could fly freely.
Bold assumptions, good wishes. People always spit out a series of "if …" out of dissatisfaction with the status quo or out of longing for the future.
"If" will make people immersed in the "future" and can't grasp the "present".
I always liked to fantasize about the future when I was a child. "If I become an excellent athlete when I grow up ...; "If it is a famous writer ..."; "If it is a scientist ..." Parents are always overjoyed when they hear these words from their children, boasting that their children will have a bright future. But they don't know that if they want to grow into excellent athletes, they must start strict training from the age of four or five; If you want to be an excellent writer, you should appreciate famous works and cultivate artistry from an early age; If you want to be a scientist who contributes to mankind, you must lay a solid foundation of scientific knowledge from childhood, and then you can create with the wings of imagination when you grow up. Wang Nan, a table tennis player, has won many championships in big competitions now, because she has been training with her father since she was five years old. Liu Yiting, a Harvard girl, began to accumulate English knowledge and vocabulary from primary school before she was admitted to Harvard University in high school. Einstein liked to think and ask questions since he was a child. He taught himself advanced mathematics, and all the scientific foundations inspired him to put forward the famous theory of relativity. There are countless examples of this. Their lives are glorious, and they must have had fantasies when they were young. But life doesn't believe in ifs, so they have made unimaginable efforts to finally make their dreams come true, and ifs become inevitable. So people who are always full of dreams, work hard and seize the present, and a bright future will be realized from today.
"If" will also make people immersed in the "past" and unable to grasp the "future".
After the World Cup, Brazil finally beat Germany 2-0. Both goals were scored by Brazil in the second half. In the first half, everyone watching the game thought that Germany had many rare chances to score goals, but they missed the victory every time. At the end of the game, people began to talk about "if the header was lower, the German team would score" and "if Kahn judged correctly, the Brazilian team would not score" ... When people were still sorry for the German team, a scene in which German team members were interviewed after the game was played on the big screen. "We missed many opportunities, but we won't give up. Tomorrow we will start new training ..." The German team's calmness and eternal hope for the future touched all the fans.
Yes, we should be full of hope for the future and have dreams for ourselves, but we should act and face the gains and losses with an optimistic attitude. Because life doesn't believe in ifs! I hope you can adopt it.
