The annual autumn wind blows bitterly. When the autumn wind is bleak and the rotten grass is green, it is time to clean up the weeds in the tree ditch and take part in the only collective labor in a year. The tree ditch occupied by the unit is long and overgrown with weeds. Many people get together to work. Only at this time, there are always few people in our office: a total of 14 people, and five or six of them are on business or something, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Either you had a meeting or he didn't come in previous years. The leader can't say anything. I'm afraid his dissatisfaction can only be suppressed and inconvenient to express. Cutting grass is a strange job for me, a middle-aged farmer. Most of the lush wheat straw beside the tree ditch is soft and thick on the ground, and the sharp blade of the new sickle is difficult to hold; There are many places mixed with camel thorns and xanthium sibiricum, which will make you accidentally prick it. You have to carefully pick it for a long time before you can pull it out. Although I had the experience of cutting wheat many years ago, it is useless here. For most young people who grew up in cities, mowing grass with a sickle is a completely new attempt. After a few cuts, they entered a period when their arms were sore and their hands could not hold the sickle. After all, manual labor is different from mental labor. Without basic training, certain skills and considerable physical strength, we can only look at the ocean and sigh. Therefore, for many young people's fantasy of "putting some oil on their bodies and setting a fire", I understand their behavior of standing up after a few cuts.

However, about five hours of physical labor can still show everyone's attitude of sweating in the face of difficulties. Except for us middle-aged "old people", most young people are facing the same situation: they can't do it, and it's quite hard. However, different people always have different answers to the same question. Some people can always touch others. They can't do it very well, but they don't hide or hide. They try to satisfy them, cut them bit by bit, and persist when they are tired. Especially some lesbians, their patience and hard-working spirit far exceed those of some men who look strong. Others always make people feel despised. They are smarter than people anywhere. They talk more than they do, and stand and watch more than they do. They are young, but they are afraid of sweating. They don't work and want others to think that they are not idle. Cutting grass for a few hours, although short, can also detect a person's basic character and quality. Gold can shine everywhere, but chaff will be blown away by the wind everywhere. People, not necessarily who is smarter than who, but who can be more practical and more practical.

In manual labor, some people avoid it and some people are smart. I think this is not just a personal problem, but a social phenomenon. The main reason for despising manual labor is that the value of manual labor is too small, and manual workers are mostly in a humble position and at the bottom of society. The main representatives of manual labor are migrant workers and farmers. Judging from the status of farmers in rural areas and the value of ordinary manual workers, few people can aspire to it. The deeper reason is the principled attitude of doing things and being a man. People who are down-to-earth and conscientious rarely despise others, even a cleaner and a sweaty migrant worker. Only people with defects in life can divide people into many levels, with the same attitude and the same attitude. The differences between people are generally reflected in small things; The height compared with others is also in an attitude.

The reason why we wash our souls with sweat is because it can test our hearts, our attitude towards life and our ability and character. Working once a year always gives people some new ideas and new inspiration. In this sense, I especially cherish this opportunity.

Labor, labor, the basic activity of creating the world, is too important for human beings, and it is too important for us to know the world and experience life in today's pampered days.

Article 2 Labor and enjoyment

In Van Gogh's paintings, there are tanned wheat baskets gnawing at potatoes' faces, full of enjoyment. I began to think about how inextricably linked labor and enjoyment are. Labor is the operation of body and mind, which brings hardship and fatigue; Enjoyment is usually associated with comfort and relaxation. Therefore, some people seize the contradiction between the two and conclude that the two are incompatible; Better regard enjoyment as the fundamental purpose of labor, ignoring the significance of labor itself. In fact, isn't labor a kind of enjoyment? It is a pleasure to see the fruits of your own labor, whether it is sweet and full or slightly insufficient. Because the fruit of labor is the affirmation of self-ability and the realization of self-value, we can gain a higher sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in the spiritual level and realize self-identity. Tolstoy's love for labor is well known. He is not only a master of literature, but also a skillful craftsman. He made cowhide boots for his friends and son-in-law, affectionately calling them his most satisfactory works. Tuo Weng saw his brand-new value in physical labor, and his spiritual enjoyment pushed him to bend over and work tirelessly, so he had a famous painting "Tuo Weng plowed the field". This is the enjoyment in labor. It is Jia Dao's great satisfaction to refine "the monk pushes the moon down the door" into "the monk knocks the moon down the door". After several generations of efforts, we finally completed the joy of the first step of "the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon"; It is farmers standing in front of rice fields, looking at the golden rice waves, feeling the quiet years and the endless joy of mankind. The fruit of labor is sweet, but the process is often bitter. This bitterness is considered unbearable by mediocre people, but smart people understand that it is the birth of hope. Isn't it a pleasure to wait for the moment when flowers bloom? In fact, life itself is a process, and all feelings in the process are income on the ledger. Hemingway started his hard creative work after getting up every morning, consuming as many as six or seven pencils every day. He is not even satisfied with the ease of sitting, but seeks a kind of tension and sobriety in the standing posture. He must have got the pleasure of suffering, otherwise he wouldn't like writing so much. In the hard experience, Hemingway enriched the meaning of life, and his rich thoughts created great works and this unique tough guy. This is the enjoyment in labor. Is to enjoy the bitterness of the process, breathe the breath of life, and wait for the bud to bloom. Nowadays, under the attack of commodity economy, there is indeed an atmosphere of seeking comfort and enjoyment spreading quietly, but as the core value of the Chinese nation, loving labor should not be forgotten. We should also see that there is no contradiction between labor and enjoyment. Labor is a kind of enjoyment. Only by recognizing this, can the wheels of society and individuals move steadily and forcefully towards a brighter future.

Article 3 Labor creates the future

Labor is a kind of exercise, labor is a virtue, and labor is a kind of accomplishment. The Chinese teacher once said to us, "Labor is the key to happiness and the paving stone on the road to success." I quite agree with this sentence, because I have deeply felt the happiness brought by labor.

One sunny afternoon, my father took me to mow the grass in the field. I agreed happily, jumping and laughing all the way, but when I looked into the field, I was dumbfounded and couldn't help sighing in my heart: This grass is really lush! In this scorching sun, I started my "glorious mission" for half an hour. I eliminated many weeds, and the sweat from my forehead ran down my cheeks. By this time, I was out of breath. My father and I smiled at each other and smiled happily.

Marx once said: "Any nation that stops working will perish within a few weeks, not to mention a year."

Labor played a decisive role in Lucy's evolution from forest apes to ancient humans, then to ancient humans in East Africa, and after tens of thousands of years, until it evolved into modern humans.

Therefore, the history of human development is a history of labor, which has created the world and changed it! We should join hands and work together to create the future with our hardworking hands!
