A philosopher once said: In this world, everything is sailing against the current. Therefore, in the journey of life, in the face of difficulties, we often have many opportunities to say this simple "no". So, should we say "no"? Perhaps, we need to think about this problem dialectically.

Sailing against the current, the speed of the current determines whether our "countercurrent" is within the reach of human beings. We shouldn't say "no" when the surging water doesn't devour our lives. We should "face the difficulties" instead of "drift with the flow". Because we know that behind the waves, there is a goal that we yearn for and pursue-that is success.

Everyone wants to succeed, but the process of success is often long and tortuous. Ma Yun, president of Alibaba, once famously said, "Today is cruel, tomorrow will be even more cruel, and the day after tomorrow will be beautiful, but most people will die tomorrow night." Yes, in the face of difficulties, we will have countless opportunities and temptations to say no. Once we say "no" easily, "giving up halfway" will make us disappear into the darkness before dawn and see no dawn.

At this point, perhaps many people will put forward different views: in the face of insurmountable difficulties, should we "retreat from the torrent" and say "no"? The answer is yes. We should realize that it takes great courage not only to "persist" but also to "give up".

Because many times, life is like climbing a mountain. Perhaps the dream of many people is to climb Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world. When one day, when you have the opportunity to find your "ideal" as a member of the mountaineering team, you are likely to encounter insurmountable weather obstacles when you are closest to the summit, and may even endanger the lives of yourself and your teammates around you. For your own life, for the life of the players, you may have to give up the "ideal" in your heart, even if you clearly think it is now or never. This is actually greater courage, because it takes more courage to "give up the ideal" than to "stick to the ideal".

Comments and Model Essays on the College Entrance Examination in Guangdong Province in 2008

Author: Foshan Gaoming Memorial Middle School? Gao Yong

This year's Guangdong composition is: Please write an article with the title "Don't say' no' easily" (requirements: except poetry, the style is not limited, not less than 800 words). This is a "propositional composition", which has some changes in composition types compared with the topic composition in Guangdong in recent years, but compared with the material composition which is difficult for teachers and students to examine the topic, it embodies the guiding ideology of stability, change and impartiality.

Judging from the content of the topic, the scope of writing intention is the content of "don't say' no'", and the key point is whether students can grasp the connotation of the word "Yi", which should be said to have strong speculative color and innovative thinking. There are "learn to say no in the face of temptation" and "learn to say no in life" in traditional topic compositions. Saying "no" seems to show a fashion, a manifestation of personality and spiritual independence, and a way to learn to refuse, express and protect yourself in our real society. However, the proposer puts forward the thinking angle of "don't say it easily" in deep thinking, which is also what the majority of candidates should focus on and think deeply. "Don't say it easily" means "speak carefully", but why "speak carefully"? What issues should be "cautious"? How to be cautious is a logical way of thinking, and the word "no" here means giving up, refusing, opposing, etc. If we connect it so quickly, our ideas and contents will be familiar, because everyone has written articles like "Don't give up" and "Be eager for success" in peacetime. Don't say "no" easily, which involves challenges, setbacks, difficulties, courage, confidence, persistence and giving up. It is full of choices between "not easy" and "not easy". Candidates can narrate according to their own experiences in life, so that the article is full of life breath. In the way of argument, it can be explained from both positive and negative aspects.

This essay topic should be said to leave a space for candidates to connect with imagination, but it is not easy to express literary talent, because this topic has strong ideological implications. As a university teacher said, today's students don't lack the courage to say "no" or not to say "no", but lack the golden mean of thinking and the vision to treat the world and others with understanding, tolerance and rationality. Judging from the current background and general trend of China's development, the economy has gone up, the national strength has been enhanced, and the strong nationalist sentiment is constantly rising. As long as there is a little negative comment on China in international affairs, we will develop the national sentiment to the point where the weather is right and the people are at peace, and we will do the same thing, resist, deny and doubt everything. "Don't say' no' easily" is a kind of wisdom, which is needed when facing "challenges" and "setbacks"; "Don't say' no' easily" is a hope, especially in the face of catastrophe; "Don't say' no' easily" is a sign that a person and a nation are maturing. The profundity of composition comes from profound understanding, paying attention to society and our life, and learning to think, which we should cultivate in our usual composition and reading. Judging from the composition of college entrance examinations in other provinces and cities this year, they also pay more attention to reality. In fact, judging from the composition propositions in Guangdong in recent years, we have never said "no" to realism.

Reference model 2:

Don't say "no" easily.

People are fragile, and they will wither slowly one day after experiencing too many storms, but don't say "no" to life easily, because there is a spiritual force lurking in our hearts, supporting us to wander in the wilderness.

Don't say' no' easily, this is a kind of strength. Luo Jinyong, an anti-drug policeman, fought to the death with three drug dealers at a critical juncture and was seriously injured because he was outnumbered. But from then on, Luo Yingzhen shouldered the responsibility of taking care of her husband, never giving up, caring carefully, and having no regrets. She waits for her husband wholeheartedly every day, talks with him, writes down more than 600 love diaries with tears, calls for her husband's awakening in the depths of her consciousness, and finally calls for love. People, unmatched by any other creature, need to be summoned, encouraged and moved, and often the last thing we need is substitution. Then, in the face of a sudden blow, what reason do we have to give up? What we need is strength, which will not easily make your friends, your relatives and even everyone you meet give up.

Don't say' no' easily, it's a kind of faith. When those miracles of life were created one by one in the Sichuan earthquake, I believe every witness we met was shouting for them. In Tiananmen Square, during the Olympic torch relay, in every corner of the world, "Come on, China" resounded through the sky, and we didn't easily say "no" to life. Perhaps everyone still clearly remembers Premier Wen's gentle and firm words, "We will never give up, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will.". In front of reinforced concrete, on the road of collapse and landslide, we don't say "no" easily, because life is a ladder of dreams, which can extend to the moment when dreams come true. As long as you never give up, frustration is the cornerstone of success and the monument of hope. As long as you never flinch, sincerity is a key to communication, which can open people's closed hearts, as long as you persist.

In the history of the Chinese nation, there has never been a shortage of people with strength and belief. They never say "no" easily. I remember Lu You, a patriotic poet in the Song Dynasty, spent his whole life trying to restore his homeland in the Central Plains. Before he died, he did not forget to tell his son that "Julian Waghann will set up the Central Plains in the north, and the family sacrifice will never be forgotten." His feelings of "being too humble to forget his country" touched countless warm-blooded men and women. "Things are different, but the fragrance remains the same" is a true portrayal of his life's ideal pursuit.

Friend, if the potted plant of your life and career has withered, please don't say "no" easily! Please carefully find out the cause of withering, and find that there is a glimmer of life in withering, which may need to be nourished and need more time. Your love and care are indispensable. Take care of this life. Just like a song goes: Please don't say no easily/because this word is too cruel/it can turn beauty into nothingness. Please don't say no easily/because this word is too cold/it can turn happiness into pain. Is there anything we can't insist on/for the pain we have suffered together/for the happiness we have together/for what we can't pay? ...
