As his family is poor, he has to do a lot of work during the day to earn money. Only at night can he sit down and read.
However, he can't afford candles, so he can't read when it is dark. Kuang Heng was heartbroken at this time-wasting behavior, and his heart was very painful.
His neighbor's family is very rich. At night, light candles in several rooms to make them bright. One day, Kuang Heng summoned up his courage and said to his neighbor, "I want to study at night, but I can't afford candles. Can I borrow an inch of your house? " Neighbors have always looked down on people who are poorer than their family, so they said viciously and sarcastically, "Since you are too poor to buy candles, what books are you reading?" Kuang Heng was very angry, but he decided to read the book well.
When Kuang Heng came home, he quietly cut a small hole in the wall, through which the neighbor's candlelight came in. With this faint light, he eagerly began to read books and gradually finished reading all the books at home.
After reading these books, Kuang Heng felt that his knowledge was far from enough, and his desire to continue reading more books was even more urgent. There is a big family nearby with many books.
One day, Kuang Heng rolled up his bedding and appeared in front of a big house. He said to his host, "please take me in, and I will work for you at home for free."
Just let me finish reading all your books. "The master was moved by his spirit and agreed to his request to borrow books.
This is how Kuang Heng studied diligently. Later, he became the prime minister of the Han and Yuan emperors and became a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty. 2. During the Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Sun Kang who was very studious.
His family is too poor to buy lamp oil and can't study at night, so he tries his best to study hard. On winter nights, he often studies outdoors by snow light regardless of the cold.
At that time, there was a man named Che Yin who, like Sun Kang, had no money to buy lamp oil. On summer nights, he caught many fireflies, put them in gauze bags, and studied them day and night with fluorescent lamps.
When Zhu Maichen was a child, his family was poor. In order to make a living, he has to go up the mountain to cut wood every day and has no time to study.
But he is tireless in learning, and often walks with firewood on his back when reading. In the Sui Dynasty, there was a man named Shimi who herded cattle when he was a child.
Every day when he goes out, he takes some books and hangs them on the speaker. When cows eat grass, they sit on the grass and study hard. 4. Sima Guang studied. Sima Guang had a poor memory when he was a child. Others recite an article and read it three or four times. Ten times is almost enough, but he has to read it dozens of times every time.
In order to recite articles, Sima Guang often studies until late at night, but because he is also studying during the day, he is too sleepy to open his eyes at night, and sometimes he lies there and falls asleep in a daze. Later, he took a piece of wood as a pillow.
In the middle of the night, as soon as he turned over, the log rolled away. As soon as his head was lowered, he would wake up immediately and get up again to continue reading. He called logs "police pillows".
5. Su Su studied hard. Su, 190 1 was born, a famous mathematician and scholar in China, and once served as honorary president of Fudan University. Born in a poor peasant family, he worked in the fields since he was a child: herding cattle, mowing grass, plowing fields, and doing everything.
At that time, he thought, there must be no chance to study in this life. It happened that a rich family in the village hired a tutor to teach his son to read.
Sue listens outside the window when she is free, and writes and draws casually. Unexpectedly, this childe didn't learn well, but Sue learned a lot of knowledge.
Seeing that he wanted to study so much, his uncle took out money to persuade Sue's father to send him to a primary school hundreds of miles away. In the first semester of primary school, Sue came last in the exam. The teacher called him to the office and encouraged him enthusiastically.
This greatly moved Sue, and she made up her mind to make a fortune. If he really makes up his mind, the situation will be different. From the second semester to the university graduation, I won the first prize every semester.
Sue is a model of taking the time to study hard. Since primary school, he has spent time reading many good books.
After entering junior high school, his first composition was handed in. At first glance, the teacher found that the writing was very similar to the famous Zuo Zhuan in ancient times, and she wondered if Sue had written it herself. In class, the teacher wanted to test him, so he randomly selected an article on Zuo Zhuan and asked him to talk about what he had written.
Unexpectedly, he immediately recited the article word for word to the teacher. This surprised the teachers and classmates: it turned out that he could recite Zuo Zhuan.
2. Write a composition entitled "Change yourself" to change yourself.
Life is often not smooth sailing. Sometimes, in order to make greater progress, we need to change ourselves
Changing yourself is a process of self-improvement. Monroe, a famous Dongwu star in the Three Kingdoms period, is a good example. At the beginning, Monroe only knew how to dance with knives and guns, but she could not be diligent in cultivating cultural knowledge. After Sun Quan pointed this out to Monroe, Monroe studied hard, and later even Lu Su said, "Don't be with me for three days." Because of Sun Quan's words, he changed himself and truly achieved both civil and military skills, laying the foundation for the achievement of Wu's hegemony. Monroe naturally perfected her personality and self-cultivation and successfully changed herself.
Changing yourself can temper your will. The caterpillar turned into a butterfly and experienced a hard transformation. If it gives up, it will fall short. The process of changing yourself is like climbing a mountain. Facing the brand-new self at the top of the mountain, only unremitting efforts can reach the top of the mountain. Although you will encounter unexpected difficulties in the process of climbing, if you overcome them, you will eventually find that your willpower is stronger than before. While changing yourself, I also honed my will. This is fundamentally inevitable and complementary.
Changing ourselves can make us better adapt to life. Everyone's life cannot be smooth sailing. What will you do when you meet a brand-new living environment? The answer is to change yourself. Because you cannot ask society or others to change anything for you. I know two people, A and B, who are both introverted and even a little closed. After entering junior high school, in order to better adapt to the living environment and actively change herself, A made many good friends when she graduated from junior high school, and her social skills became stronger and her communication became wider. On the other hand, he is more closed than before. It can be seen that changing ourselves can make us better adapt to the living environment.
Changing yourself is basically a re-understanding and re-creation of yourself. When you find that you need to make a change, it means that you are clear-headed. I can realize that I need to make some changes to live better. This is an improvement of self-awareness. This kind of promotion is exactly what we need. Driven by this new understanding, you have re-created yourself. People who can change themselves are extraordinary people, and this kind of re-creation is helpful for future life. When we face adversity or bumps, we immediately realize that we need to change, and we can put it into action immediately. We have been able to reach the realm of "change".
Therefore, we should all learn to change ourselves. In order to make greater progress, we should be good at changing ourselves and dare to change ourselves, so as to get a brand-new self!
Change yourself
A big tree that has been growing in the mountains for many years was pruned and transplanted into a newly-built park. People are talking about it. One said, "Without this transplant, no one will appreciate it. To be appreciated, we must change our living environment. " And I want to say: "to be appreciated, you must change yourself!" " "
Everyone is a beautiful scenery, there is only one unique you in the world, and the world will not change because of you. So, change yourself! The environment will never take the initiative to adapt itself, but we can change ourselves, adapt to the environment and succeed.
Perhaps, we don't have the romance of Zhuang Zhoumeng Butterfly, and we don't have Zhuangzi's detachment of "being in the mud"; Perhaps, we can't recommend the hot-blooded Xuanyuan like the lonely fighter Lu Xun, and profoundly reveal the inferiority of the Chinese nation for thousands of years; Perhaps, we don't have the courage to explore the unknown world with Helen Keller's heart, but at least, we can change ourselves, accept the influence of Zhuangzi, accept the strong voice of shouting and hesitation, accept the baptism of "If you give me three days of light" and change ourselves with the help of books.
Tao Yuanming, who has only been an official for more than 70 days, hung up his seal and retired to the mountains and changed himself. He can't change the darkness of officialdom. He can only change himself. He doesn't bow down for a bucket of rice, but keeps company with chrysanthemums. Although his official career is gone, his lofty aspirations are appreciated by history and remembered by future generations. Li Bai, a royal scholar, changed himself when he raised him in a white deer between green cliffs, that is, when he rode a horse to visit famous mountains. Li Bai thought he would show his ambition, but he didn't think he was just singing a hymn for the court. Unable to change the officialdom, I had to change my ambition, show my affection for mountains and rivers, and see famous mountains and rivers. Although he failed to fulfill his dream of crossing the celestial latitude, he created half a poem in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which was praised by later generations. They have changed themselves and changed the times. Although they were not admired by people at that time, they were remembered by future generations and shone in the historical sky.
Those who cannot change themselves can only be eliminated by the environment. Although the old shoemaker in The Quality of John Galsworthy has the best shoemaking skills in the city, he is unwilling to change himself, so that he can't keep up with the era of mechanization, insists on making every pair of shoes by hand, and finally starves to death in his own shoe store. Only by changing ourselves can we keep pace with the times and not be eliminated by the environment.
Change is the eternal law. Only by changing yourself, the blood drop of will and the sweat of hard work can become the nectar of Mika, and the eternal hope and dream can be built into an iron wall …
Change yourself!
3. Change one thing about yourself. Change yourself. When Wang Leehom sang Change the World, Change Yourself, I liked the second part better.
There is no one in this world. Because, for the whole world, people are as small as dust.
Chimonanthus praecox blooms in the cold winter, not because it is strong, but to survive. It was winter that chose it, not winter that it chose.
If you live in summer, it is bound to wither quickly and dissipate in the air. Isn't that what people do? A person, without his own flowering period, can only adapt. If he can't integrate into this society after all, he can only be buried in the dust like a flower.
Even if you are alive, you can't avoid pain. It may be difficult to change yourself, but changing the world is too simple.
Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in the history of China, has the ability to change the country because she has the ability to change herself. Once upon a time, she was just a talented person with only beauty and no talent. But when she fell out of favor, she understood the truth that "those who serve you with talent are long, and those who serve you with color are short." She tried to change herself from an ordinary woman to a scholar and from a scholar to a generation of kings.
She succeeded because she had the courage to change herself, and even more because she had the courage and perseverance to change herself. Turn around and look at the present.
In this new era, there are so many "neets". They graduated from college, gifted, but happily lying on the sofa at home, eating their parents' meals and using their parents'. When they leave home, they become insignificant. They think it is not easy to find a job and there is nowhere to earn wages, but they don't know how everything in this world can be as they wish. Without good jobs, they will not work. I believe this is not a good excuse.
As "Fisherman" wrote: "The water in Canglang is crystal clear, which can support my tassels, while the water in Canglang is turbid, which can support my feet." How many Qu Yuan can there be in this world? What's more, we are prosperous and peaceful here, and we have never seen many people throw themselves into the river and die in the belly of fish because of unemployment.
The work is poor, and there is more room for improvement. Why not? The world is a huge dye vat, colorful. Ordinary people can only try their best to integrate and adapt. Tagore said, "Don't blame your food for your bad appetite."
Then, don't criticize your environment because of your poor literacy. Life is a road full of thorns. If you try to break them, you will only hurt your hand. Only by changing your route and bypassing it can you see the sunshine faster.
4. An argumentative essay about "changing yourself". I read an article based on facts and arguments, which is about the origin of leather shoes. I thought some famous person got some inspiration and invented this kind of thing. I didn't know until I saw it.
Long ago, people walked barefoot. A king went out by teleconference. The road he met was rugged and full of rubble, which stung the king's feet. After returning to the palace, he gave an order: all roads in the country were paved with cowhide. He believes that doing so is not only beneficial to himself, but also beneficial to his people, so that everyone can walk without stinging.
But even if we kill all the cattle in China, we can't raise enough leather. And the money spent, the manpower used, I don't know how much. Although it can't be done at all, it's even stupid, but because it's the king's order, everyone can only sigh secretly.
A clever servant boldly made a suggestion to the king: "King! Why spend so much money, sacrifice so many cows and send so many people? Why not cut two pieces of calf leather to wrap your feet? And everyone can do it! "
The king was surprised, thought it over carefully, and immediately withdrew his order and adopted the servant's suggestion. As a result, there is such a thing as "leather shoes" in the world.
I told you a story.
After reading it, I have a great feeling-how great the creativity of servants is! All the roads are covered with cowhide-everyone's feet are covered with cowhide. They all have the same purpose, and different ideas lead to different results. The warning behind this story, or the famous saying, is written like this: "It is difficult to change the world; It's easier to change yourself. It is better to change yourself than to change the world. When you change yourself, the world in your eyes naturally changes. " I really like this passage. Synthetic network
In front of some things, each of us is closer to the king in the text. Since the king can't spread cowhide on the roads all over the country, how can he change what he wants to change in his heart? Since we can't change the world, why not change ourselves?
If you want the teacher to be good to you, let yourself study hard; If you want your classmates to be close to you, make yourself sincere; If you want mom and dad to feel at ease with themselves, let yourself be calm and cautious. ...
Don't try to change the world, just try to change yourself!
5. Change yourself with the theme of changing yourself. Wang Qing, a big tree that has grown in the mountains for many years, was pruned and transplanted into the newly-built park.
People are talking about it. One said, "Without this transplant, no one will appreciate it. To be appreciated, we must change our living environment. "
And I want to say: "to be appreciated, you must change yourself!" " "Everyone is a beautiful scenery, but the world will not change because of you, and the environment will not take the initiative to adapt to ourselves. So we can only change ourselves and adapt to the environment before we can succeed.
Perhaps, we don't have the romance of Zhuang Zhoumeng Butterfly, and we don't have Zhuangzi's detachment of "being in the mud"; Perhaps, we can't recommend the hot-blooded Xuanyuan like the wandering soldier Lu Xun, and profoundly reveal the inferiority of the Chinese nation for thousands of years; Perhaps, we are not as brave as Helen Keller, who is blind and deaf but explores the unknown world with her heart. But at least, we can change ourselves, let ourselves be influenced by Zhuangzi, let ourselves accept the strong voice of shouting and hesitation, let ourselves be baptized by "If you give me three days of light", let our hearts boil imperceptibly, and change ourselves with the help of books.
Tao Yuanming, who has only been an official for more than 70 days, hung up his seal and retired to the mountains and changed himself. The darkness of officialdom, he can't change, only himself.
Therefore, instead of bending down to pick up five buckets of rice, he kept company with chrysanthemum. Although his official career no longer exists, his lofty aspirations are appreciated by history and remembered by future generations. When Li Bai, a "royal scholar", summoned the white deer he raised between the green cliffs to visit the famous mountains, he changed himself.
The court asked him to sing praises and praise the moon, but he just wanted to show his ambition. He can't change officialdom, so he must change his ambition. So I sent my love to the mountains and rivers, and I surveyed the famous mountains and rivers. Although I failed to fulfill my dream of learning from heaven and earth, I created half of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which was praised by future generations.
They have changed themselves and changed the times. Although they were not admired by people at that time, they were remembered by future generations and shone in the historical sky. Those who cannot change themselves can only be eliminated by the environment.
Although the old shoemaker in The Quality of John Galsworthy has the best shoemaking skills in the city, he is unwilling to change himself, so that he can't keep up with the era of mechanization, insists on making every pair of shoes by hand, and finally starves to death in his own shoe store. Only by changing ourselves can we keep pace with the times and not be eliminated by the environment.
Only by changing yourself can the blood drop of will and the sweat of hard work become Micah's enduring nectar. Only by weaving a brilliant rainbow with immortal hopes and dreams can we build an indestructible iron wall with eternal persistence and tenacious toughness ... and change ourselves.
6. About changing his composition: A young man heard that there was a monk in a temple in a deep mountain who could move mountains, so he asked for advice. The monk took the young man to a high mountain on his left. After J climbed the mountain to the foot of the mountain, the monk said, "Young man, this mountain was just on our left, and now it has moved to our right." This is my ability to move mountains. " The young man was puzzled, and the monk further said, "The objective environment is unchangeable, and only oneself can change."
The above is a fable. We can hear similar stories in real life, and maybe we often see many different or even opposite situations. We often ask to change others' situation more, but change ourselves less. Why?
7. Write a composition of about 800 words by changing yourself. According to the materials, we need to grasp the connotation and extension of "change" and understand its essence and implication. There are positive and negative changes and positive and negative differences. Change is a state of life in reality. Life is always changing. Secondly, we should make it clear that the main body of change is ourselves. From naivety to maturity is to change yourself, from cowardice to bravery is to change yourself, from ordinary to great, from rejection to acceptance, from disgust to love ... are all changes to yourself. Great changes can be outlook on life, world view, emotion and so on. Small changes can also be attitudes, actions, or even just an expression. Changing oneself is a kind of maturity, courage, accomplishment and wisdom. The result of changing oneself is often to enrich the connotation of life, complete self-transcendence and achieve success in life; On the contrary, being unwilling to change or not good at changing yourself will often lead to failure or tragedy, leaving regret, pain and regret for society and life.

Long, long ago, humans walked barefoot. A king went to a remote village. Because the road is rugged and there are many gravel, his feet are sore and numb, and they are annoying and annoying. After returning to the palace, he ordered all roads in the country to be covered with cowhide, so that everyone would not be stung again. But even if all the cows are killed, enough cowhide can't be raised, and the money and manpower spent are even more difficult to estimate. Although the idea is stupid, it can't be done. But because it was ordered by the king, everyone had to shake their heads and sigh. A clever servant suggested to the king, "King! Why do you have to make a fuss, sacrifice so many cows and spend so much money? Why not just wrap your feet in two small pieces of cowhide? " The king was surprised and immediately understood what he meant, so he immediately took back his words and adopted his suggestion. It is said that "leather shoes" come from this.

A crow will fly to the south. On the way, she met a pigeon and stopped in a tree to rest. The dove asked the crow, "You are working so hard, where are you going to fly?" Why did you leave here? "The crow said angrily," Actually, I don't want to leave, but people here don't like me crying. "So, I want to fly somewhere else." The dove said kindly, "Don't waste your energy. If you don't change your voice, you won't be popular anywhere. "

A priest is preparing a sermon, while his little son is making noise. Helpless, the priest picked up an old magazine, tore up a colorful illustration and a map of the world, and threw it on the ground. He said, "Little John, if you can spell this map well, I'll give you 20 pence."
The priest thought it would take John half a morning, but 10 minutes later, his son knocked on his door again. The priest was surprised to find that John spelled out a map of the world so quickly. "Son, how did you put the map together so quickly?"
"Ah," said little John, "it's easy. There was a photo of a person on the other side, so I put the photo of this person together and turned it over. I think if this person is right, then the world is right. "

Bulgaria met the former Czechoslovakia team in a European basketball championship. With eight seconds left in the game, Bulgaria leads by two points and victory is in sight.
