There are ups and downs in life. Some people may get lost in life's setbacks, some people may envy others' success, some people always want to get benefits from relationships, and some even hope that they can be hit by happiness all day, and the result can only be a dreamer. The road under your feet is your own. It may be muddy, or it may be flat and wide. You must finish it.
Choose your own path, don't go with the flow. When the imperial examination prevailed, people always thought that "everything is inferior, and only reading is high." Some people have worked hard for the imperial examination all their lives, but they have neglected themselves. Li Shizhen bravely chose his own path and became a doctor with low status at that time. Later, he became a great doctor. Don't let other people's ideas affect you. Ships in a storm will be destroyed along the storm, and kites can fly against the wind in the blue sky.
We should strengthen our faith and make it our guiding light. Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions and opened up the world-famous Silk Road alone, which was driven by his beliefs. Xuanzang went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers on his way to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures, but he always adhered to his faith and firmly moved forward on his own road. Faith is a sword that helps us to open our own world.
We should also strive for self-improvement and rely on ourselves, instead of always relying on others. Cleopatra pinned Egypt on Anthony and was finally destroyed by Octavian. After the September 18th Incident, Chinese people pinned their hopes on the League of Nations, but they were even more humiliated. Ma Yun didn't do well in other subjects except English, but he made Alibaba through his own efforts. Montaigne of France said: "A person who just follows others will not explore anything and can't find anything." Everything should be felt and experienced by yourself.
As middle school students, we should go our own way like Master Tong Ming. Open up your own path, with a firm belief, and go on by your own efforts, there will be a bright future.
It is a kind of courage and wisdom to go your own way. The road depends on oneself, perseverance and self-improvement, and it can only be turned into steel after a hundred trials.
