During the Han Dynasty, Kuang Heng, a teenager, was very studious. 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 read all your books. " The host 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.
The ideal of fish is to travel all over the country, between rivers; A bird's ideal is to have food every day and not to starve itself. The fish smiled, the bird was naive, but the bird waved its wings carelessly. "Our ideals are different. You have your ambitions, and I have my own ideas. Everyone's ideals are different, depending on how we achieve them. " Many years later, the fish were exhausted in the rapids of the river, but the birds still flew freely in the sky and continued to sing their ideals.
Each of us has a dream in our hearts, whether it is meaningful or not, but it will always be a jigsaw puzzle of life. Some people make dreams come true through hard work, so that dreams are no longer dreams; However, some people have empty dreams and never work hard for them. Dreams can only be dreams in the end, only wishful thinking and future regrets. Why is this? Is it because these two people have different attitudes? Or is it because the idea is too difficult to realize?
Tang Dongjiebu is the originator of Tibetan opera. His ideal is to build a cable bridge on the Yarlung Zangbo River, but everyone laughs at him because it is extremely unlikely to be completed. The river drowned countless people, let alone built a bridge. It is good for people to live separately from each other. In order to realize his ideal, Tang Dongjiebu organized a troupe to perform in various places, and the people who watched the opera would pay the troupe a little. It is this small sum of money that Tang Dongjiebu accumulated to build one cable bridge after another on the river that swallowed countless people, creating one Tibetan myth after another.
Tang Dongjiebu persisted in his ideals and made painstaking efforts, but his efforts not only failed, but brought benefits to people.
For example, Bill Gates turned a small coin into billions of wealth; Another example is Edison, who overcame all doubts about him and became a great inventor; The Wright brothers, despite the ridicule of others, built the world's first plane ... a living example and a familiar story. Aren't they all people who persist in their ideals and succeed?
I also have my ideals!
In our pursuit of ideals, there may be other novel things that will induce your future, but no matter how bright the stars are, they can't replace the unique moon, and no matter how beautiful the trap is, only our ideals are the brightest. Our ideal is like a jigsaw puzzle. If we put it together at will, will it still be what we imagined? No matter how long and bumpy the road is, if persistent struggle and persistence can have a chance to realize our ideals, why don't we travel?
