Reflections on The Old Man and the Sea
Life is an endless pursuit, regardless of success or failure, it is a starting point. Success and failure are often just a matter of ideas. Failure is not terrible. The terrible thing is that you don't have the courage to face failure. Santiago, the hero in The Old Man and the Sea, proved to us with his practical actions-be a hero even if you fail!
The Old Man and the Sea tells the story of an old fisherman, Santiago, who fought with marlin tactfully and didn't catch a fish for 84 days in a row. On his way home, he was attacked by sharks many times. When he finally returned to Hong Kong, only his head, tail and a skeleton were left.
"However, people are not born for failure. A person can be destroyed, but not defeated. " In the struggle between the old man and marlin, marlin undoubtedly became the victim. After the arrival of the shark, the old man, like the marlin, became a victim. The struggle between the old man and the shark is the will of the old man to fight against all powerful hostile forces, and the shark has become the representative of hostile forces. Although the fish has been bitten off, nothing can destroy the old man's will. Although the old man Santiago is a loser, his spirit of daring to fight against evil forces makes him a hero. Everything is doomed to destruction, only your actions will last forever. Only in this way can you become a real success!
In life, setbacks are indispensable hardships. We may shrink back because of difficult problems, we may be discouraged because of poor grades, we may be troubled because of exams ... these small setbacks are not worth mentioning, but they often become stumbling blocks on the road of life. Some people will go beyond the limit like the old man in San Diego and face difficulties in difficulties. Even if they failed, they had a clear conscience. Because you took action, you are successful! Some people have no confidence and courage to face failures and setbacks directly, muddle along, and finally be erased from the ranks of success by fate and become an idle person. Sharks may be the final winners, but there is no doubt that old people are also winners. He will always know that this great masterpiece belongs to him. He didn't surrender and compromise to the sea, marlin and shark. We also need to have the courage to fight against fate. At any time, take failure as a kind of tempering, let it become the cornerstone of our stepping stone, climb higher peaks, challenge yourself, face up to your shortcomings and surpass your limits, and you are the most important hero in life!
In the journey of life, how can we fail less? Failure is the mother of success, people will always fall, just to see if you can get up again. Whether we can still face it bravely, success is always after the storm, and only after the failure will we realize that success is hard-won. As long as you treat it with a tenacious heart, success will wave to you not far away.

To succeed in this world, we must stick to it; Never leave until I die.

When I opened the first page, an illustration came into view-I saw an old man pulling the fishing line with his hand, and his face showed a kind and firm expression. This is in direct proportion to the gray sky above the old man's head and the turbulent dark blue sea water under the boat, which further highlights the indomitable spirit of the old man in the face of difficulties. This is how the old man successfully caught a marlin 18 feet long and 1500 pounds in two days and two nights.
I can't wait to open the book and read it with relish. As time goes by, page by page, I am slowly immersed in the ups and downs of the story, like the waves of the sea. The old man's humorous and firm words and strong personality are deeply imprinted in my heart. Although nothing was found in the first 84 days, on the 85th day, the old man still insisted on fishing and finally caught a big fish in the deep sea ... The number of unread pages decreased little by little, and the tortuous story deeply attracted me.
Although the marlin caught by the old man ended up with only a huge skeleton, the fragment of the old man bravely protecting the marlin still attracted me. I can't help picturing a wonderful picture in my mind: a group of sharks surrounded the old man's boat. They rushed up in batches, with their mouths open and greedy eyes staring, biting the most tender place in Marin. The old man's heart ached, so he took up the knife and fought them to the death. ...
After reading the whole book, my mood is as restless as the sea, immersed in the tense and wonderful plot in the book. The old man is firm and great. His spirit of insisting on green hills and not relaxing is exactly what we need in our study.
The old man's boat is full of confidence. Where is our confidence? Our self-confidence should be in our minds-when we encounter a problem, we think with our brains, calculate with the pen tip, and conquer it; Our confidence is in our own hands. In today's society, we should boldly innovate and create different things with our hands. Our confidence is in our hearts, part of which is confidence and part of which is hope. We should believe in ourselves and the future!
The old man's bright eyes are burning with courage. Where is our courage? Our courage lies in our feet. If you have the courage to take the first step, you will have the courage to step into the future bravely. Our courage lies in us. We go to school with schoolbags on our backs every day. Learning is not simple, but if we carry it on our backs, we must have the courage to go forward and learn more knowledge.
The old man's slender fishing line grasped the persistence. Where is our persistence? Our persistence is in our footsteps, and we should move forward step by step like an old cow; Our persistence is in action, and we must stick to it every time we do something; Our persistence is deep in our hearts, and with this spirit, we can succeed.
A fishing line carries the hope of the elderly, and a boat carries the spirit of the elderly. The old man defeated the sea and created a miracle!
Reflection on The Old Man and the Sea (Ⅲ)
During the winter vacation, I read the book "The Old Man and the Sea" and benefited a lot. The spirit of the old fisherman deeply touched me.
"A ship crosses the end of the world and sails for the unknown sea. On the bow, there is a flag, which is still gorgeous even after the storm. On the flag, the word Yunlong dances and shines-beyond the limit! " Author Hemingway commented on his work The Old Man and the Sea.
The story The Old Man and the Sea is very simple. It says that the old fisherman Santiago finally caught a marlin himself. He didn't catch a fish for 84 days in a row, but the fish was so big that he was exhausted after dragging his boat at sea for three days. He killed the fish and tied it to the side of the boat. On his way home, he was attacked by sharks many times, so the old man fought with sharks to the death, but when he finally returned to Hong Kong, only one fish bone was left. Although the fish was bitten off, nothing could destroy his heroic will.
After reading this book, I can't be calm for a long time. It is precisely because people like the old fisherman have repeatedly challenged the limit and surpassed them that this limit has been expanded again and again, and bigger challenges have been placed in front of human beings again and again. Therefore, a hero like the old fisherman Santiago deserves our eternal respect no matter whether he succeeds or fails in challenging the limits.
Before, I went to learn to ride a bike. I was excited at first. I watched others ride, and then I took my brother's bike and tried to ride it. I'll climb up and sit down first, and my father will help me in the back. My shoulders went up and down, and my whole body was crooked and I fell a few times. After riding for a long time, I didn't make any progress and my feet were bruised. I'm a little discouraged and don't want to learn. So I sat there and rested. After a while, my father came over and patiently said to me,' Don't worry, take your time, relax yourself, keep your eyes on the front, and I'll hold you behind. "I'm still a little scared, but I watched other children ride smaller than me. I think they can ride, and I should learn. Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it. So I got up the courage again, got on the bike and continued to practice riding. I rode a horse, and my father gave me guidance at the back. It's much better to ride a few laps. Sometimes when my father lets me go when I'm not looking, I just ride for a while, and I'm a little complacent.
Then I practiced for a few days and finally learned. These days, I fell countless times, and then I picked up my bike to continue. My hands and feet are broken, black and blue, but I am very happy after learning.
I want to thank this book, let me learn so much knowledge, let me know so much truth, let me know my own shortcomings.
The real strong can only be destroyed and cannot be defeated! "Never give up, beyond the limit" is the most profound revelation of the book The Old Man and the Sea. It will inspire me to move forward bravely, along with the long road of growth in the future.
