Compilation of Classical Materials for College Entrance Examination Composition (9) 56. Is suffering really wealth? "Suffering is a fortune in life." This is often said to inspire people to forge ahead, but it is more practical to learn to treat suffering correctly. After all, suffering is not a blessing, and not everyone can bear it. At a party, those successful industrialists and stars laughed and laughed, including the famous car dealer John? 6? 1 Elton. Ayton recalled his past to his friend Churchill, who later became the British Prime Minister. He was born in a remote town and his parents died young. It was his sister who helped people wash clothes and do housework and earned money to raise him. But after my sister got married, my brother-in-law drove him to my uncle's house, and my aunt was even more mean. When studying, you are only allowed to eat one meal a day, and you have to clean the stables and mow the grass. When he was an apprentice, he couldn't afford to rent a house at all. He spent nearly a year sleeping in an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs ... Churchill asked in surprise, "Why didn't you say anything before?" Elton smiled and said, "What is there to say? People who are suffering or getting rid of suffering have no right to complain. " The car dealer, who has been frustrated and miserable for a long time in his life, added: "Suffering is conditionally transformed into wealth. This condition is that you have overcome the suffering and stayed away from it. Only at this time, suffering is the wealth of life that you should be proud of. Others listen to your complaints, not because you study hard, but because you are strong-willed and worthy of respect. But if you are still in pain or not free from it, what do you say? For others, this is tantamount to asking for cheap pity, or even begging ... at this time, you can say that you are enjoying suffering, exercising your own quality in suffering and learning to be tough. Otherwise, others will only think that you are playing the spiritual victory method and anesthetizing yourself. " Elton's words made Churchill modify the creed of "love suffering". He wrote in his autobiography-is suffering wealth or shame? When you overcome suffering, suffering is your wealth; But when suffering overcomes you, it is your humiliation. Then, the premise of making suffering no longer a humiliation is to face it bravely, persevere and struggle bravely, and finally overcome it and make it a real treasure worth learning in your life! 57. The bitterest tree produces the most fragrant flowers. When I graduated from college, I found several jobs, none of which were ideal. To make matters worse, I was hit by a car on my way to apply for a job. After the injury, my left arm can no longer be completely straight. After that, every time I applied for a job, my arm became an important reason why people sent me away politely or mercilessly. During this period, my girlfriend of three years also left me. In those days, the world was gloomy. One day, my cousin accompanied me to the park to play. It's April, and the lilacs are blooming brightly, but they can't ignite my inner enthusiasm at all. Wandering among the lilacs, my cousin told me her story about how she got up in the initial constant fall and how she succeeded today-she opened three clothing stores today, and at first she just set up stalls on the street. Just then, my cousin suddenly asked me, "Do you smell the lilac?" At this time, the air was filled with refreshing flowers, and I nodded. Cousin reached out and picked a leaf, put it on her mouth and took a bite. She smacked her mouth and said, "What do you think lilac leaves taste like?" I also picked a leaf and took a bite. The bitter taste made my mouth almost numb, and I couldn't help frowning. My cousin looked me in the eye and said, "In those days when I was most frustrated, it was also spring. I often come here to taste these leaves. In this bitter taste, I finally understand that only the most bitter tree can produce the most fragrant flowers! " "Suddenly I understood my cousin's good intentions, and my heart was filled with emotion for an instant. Looking at the trees and flowers, there is a warm current in my heart. Now I have come out of those gloomy days and face life with the brightest smile every day. I don't remember any philosopher who said that only success rooted in suffering is the most cherished success. As long as we don't give up our hopes and dreams, we will surely bloom the most beautiful life in the suffering life. 58, don't talk about past lives yesterday, two sisters at home are talking about the reincarnation of life with great interest. I found tears in their eyes when they talked. Many people only care about "past lives" and ignore "this life". In fact, this moment is the vitality of life, and truly grasping every minute is the best praise and praise for life. It goes without saying that a person's fate and family background often affect his life. Some people come from powerful families, and some people are the sons of ordinary people, which people can't choose. For those born, there is only recognition. However, we should seek solutions to the difficulties, problems or disappointments the day after tomorrow with a positive attitude. Strive to create a life, stand firm, go your own way, and face all possible blows and disappointments calmly. Try your best to fight for it, don't run away from the problem, don't accept it. Life is given by nature, while wealth is created by oneself. Among them, "love is the most important. If we can cultivate a love for life, we can build an open life. " My sister said, "The past life has long been forgotten. What matters is this life. " The second sister said, "The most important thing in this life is love. This love has nothing to do with God, but love of dust! "Indeed, people have a lot of potential and should be developed through different channels. Faith is one of them. And I firmly believe that "love can make the world have no boundaries and make the human mind have no barriers." "So, one must first learn to love one's own life, and then put oneself in other's shoes to respect other lives. This is a relatively open attitude towards life. 59. Mandela's Epiphany Mandela of South Africa was imprisoned for leading a policy against white apartheid. The white rulers kept him in Robben Island, a desolate Atlantic island, for 27 years. At that time, although Mandela was old, the white rulers still abused him like ordinary young prisoners. However, when 199 1 Mandela was released from prison and elected president, a move by Mandela at the inauguration ceremony shocked the whole world. At the beginning of the inauguration ceremony of the president, Mandela stood up and made a speech to welcome the guests. He first introduced dignitaries from all over the world, and then said that although he was deeply honored to receive so many distinguished guests, what pleased him most was that when he was detained in Robben Island Prison, three former prison staff guarding him were also present. He invited them to stand up so that he could introduce them to everyone. Mandela's magnanimity made South Africa feel ashamed of the white people who cruelly abused him for 27 years, and also made everyone present awe. Watching the elderly Mandela stand up slowly and respectfully pay tribute to the three guards who helped him, all the guests present were quiet. Later, Mandela explained to his friends that he was impatient and grumpy when he was young. It was in prison that he learned to control his emotions and survived. His prison life gave him time and encouragement, and he learned how to face his pain. He said that gratitude and tolerance come from pain and suffering and must be cultivated with great perseverance. He talked about his feelings on the day he was released from prison: "When I walked out of my cell and walked through the prison door leading to freedom, I knew that if I couldn't put my grief and resentment behind me, I would still be in prison." Is it because we lack Mandela's tolerance and gratitude that we are always troubled, full of pain, always complaining, and always have so much dissatisfaction and disappointment? references/s/blog _ 5 12df 03 10 100 aoww . html
