It has always been an eternal topic to set up lofty ideals since childhood. The road blazed by our fathers in the thorns needs the efforts of ten thousand generations in Qian Qian to persist and open up a new era through persistence. Therefore, each of us should set our own lofty goals from an early age, and honor our promises with actions and sweat on the long road of life in the future.

"Ideal is the bridge between reality and the future. It is linked with the goal of struggle, and it has the possibility of realizing imagination. It is people's yearning and pursuit for the future, and it is also people's spiritual pillar. " This simple sentence in The Moral Cultivation Reader for Middle School Students sums up the meaning of life ideal. A philosopher said, "people can't lose hope in life, hope is the sunshine of life;" One cannot live without ideals, which are the navigation of life. "It can be seen that ideals are not dispensable in everyone's life. If we persist in our unshakable ideals when we lose confidence temporarily, we will rekindle the light of hope. Ideal is the wing of the soul and the navigation of life. To take the helm in your own hands is to take control of your own destiny.

We used to stand at the crossroads of history, and now we are a cross-century generation. What we shoulder is no longer the responsibility of two bags of rice and a few bottles of butter at home. We shoulder the tomorrow and future of our motherland. 200 1 is an exciting year for China people. This year, China fulfilled the wishes of generations of Chinese children, and China successfully bid for the 2008 Olympic Games. China football qualifying; China's accession to the WTO and the International Trade Organization. In 200 1 year, in the World Chronicle, "China" was shouted by1300 million Chinese people again and again, and it was recognized and supported by people all over the world. The motherland has stepped out of the history of suffering and humiliation and moved towards a brilliant tomorrow. But when we calm down and think about this hard-won success, it is not difficult to see that it is the result of the unremitting efforts of several generations of Chinese sons and daughters, and it has condensed into a powerful force. This is the great ideal of the Chinese nation, and now it has finally come true. I think it is precisely because of everyone's persistent pursuit and accumulation of their own ideals that there will be great success.

However, if we think about it again, if the failure of applying for the Olympic Games in that year crushed the confidence of the people of the whole country and the people of China gave up hope, struggle, hard work and all possibilities in the future, then I believe that the sleepless night in Beijing in 1992 will repeat itself, and 200 1 year will also be a year of regret for China people; China football has not qualified for decades. If all football coaches, athletes and all those who support football grieve blindly and lose the courage to enter the world again, 200 1 will be a year that China people will regret. China's entry into WTO vividly shows that China people have changed from black hair to white hair. If negotiations fail again and again, hopeful expectations fail again and again, and China people give up their efforts and goals again and again, then 200 1 will also be a year that China people regret. However, the great nation overcame everything and succeeded under great pressure. Our nation's persistent pursuit of ideals has opened a new era in history, and every Chinese descendant is proud of it and excited about it.

A nation is like this, and so is a person. Look around and see how many ambitious and outstanding young people there are in the society now. They persevered in pursuing their goals. Since childhood, Di Yun has dreamed of becoming a world-class piano master. After 13 years of unremitting efforts, he finally won the gold medal in the Chopin Piano Competition, which is known as "Piano Olympics", and became "Chopin of China" at the age of 17. Cheng Huiming has a green ideal of electric vehicles traveling around the world. In order to realize his dream, he became friends with Xiao Nano. On the basis of nearly 20 years of experimental research, he synthesized a large number of nanofibers and single-walled carbon nanotubes, and made a major breakthrough in the field of nano-research. Wang Changtian, who graduated from Fudan University, is determined to establish "time warner Inc. Company in China". After more than ten years of exploration and efforts, it has opened up its own market in China TV entertainment programs. China Entertainment Report, World Entertainment Report and China Music Billboard are all popular with nearly 100 TV stations in China. Whether it is Di Yun, Cheng Huiming or Wang Changtian, their success is not the result of one day, but the reward of more than ten years' efforts. They strive to realize their ideals and become role models for contemporary youth.

But there are also some middle school students who have ideals and a good learning environment, but after repeated setbacks and failures, they bow to difficulties and even give up their precious lives. A female high school student, with excellent grades, ended her life as beautiful as flowers and jade ahead of schedule because she didn't go to her favorite university on the college entrance examination admission list, but in fact her name was omitted from the announcement list, but when the admission list was sent to her home, she was already buried underground. Behind this heartbreaking story, we can see that this person gave up her life so rashly that a small setback can crush her because she has no strong ideal pillar. The ideal of middle school students is in the forming stage, and the ideal is ultimately a question of world outlook and outlook on life. We just stand in the picture of life, which shows that establishing ideals is the starting point of life struggle. We should correctly face every failure and every success in our growth, and "win without arrogance and lose with grace". We should regard setbacks and failures in our life journey as a ladder to success. There is a lyric that says well, "how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?" No one can succeed casually. " Ideal is not equal to success, and cannot be defeated by one failure. It is a belief in life and a pyramid built with determination, perseverance and persistence. None of us can escape the sweat and tears when building pyramids in our hearts. Without hard work, there will be no rich returns.

We are an extraordinary generation. Our extraordinary is that we have experienced a great turning point in China; Our extraordinary lies in that we have spanned a century and shouldered the heavy responsibility entrusted by the new century. And our extraordinary also determines that we must set up lofty ideals, bear the burden of history, and stand the test of time.

Raise the ideal sail all the way, and the long-distance ship will definitely reach the other side of success.
