First of all, we must set a goal of becoming a success. What is success? Einstein said: "A person's value to society depends on how much his feelings, thoughts and actions have played in promoting human interests." In other words, a person can't just take from society when he is alive, so that society will have more material consumption and loss, and more importantly, contribute to society. Gorky said well that "giving" is always happier than "taking". Similarly, when someone asked Kai-Fu Lee, the global vice president of Microsoft, about his life goals, he replied: "There is only one life, and I think the most important thing is to have the greatest impact, help yourself, help your family, help your country, help the world, help future generations, make their lives better and more efficient, and bring them happiness." Such a goal in life is the goal of success. It will be the beacon of your life. If some people regard hard work as synonymous with chasing money and fame, the higher the goal, the heavier it will be in the end. Only by establishing the goal of success will you be guided to overcome difficulties and setbacks and have the confidence to forge ahead towards your own goals. At the critical moment when China's revolution suffered major setbacks, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and He Long launched the Nanchang Uprising. Mao Zedong led the autumn harvest uprising; Zhang, Su, Ye Ting launched the Guangzhou Uprising. This is because they have set a life goal of saving the destiny of the country and the people, and they have made such extraordinary achievements. The correct goal in life is also the spiritual pillar of people. When difficulties come, because you have a correct goal in life, you can inspire the courage and great strength to overcome difficulties and setbacks. Wang Ruofei, a revolutionary of the older generation, was in prison and still insisted on doing gymnastics every day. He said, "The enemy will kill me in the next quarter of an hour. I have to take care of my health in this quarter of an hour. I live in this world, not for the enemy, but for our cause. " He has such a goal in life, which makes him have such a cool head and extraordinary courage and makes him a hero.
Secondly, the establishment of life goals should be practical. American writer william faulkner said, "Don't try your best to compete with your colleagues. What you should care about is that you are better than now. " Of course, we advocate lofty goals in life and admire people who have lofty goals, but we should be more rational when setting goals. Don't want to be a singer just because she is beautiful; Yang Liwei is a space hero. He is determined to be an astronaut. Liu Xiang is our pride. He vowed to be an athlete. Bill Gates is very rich, so he dreams of becoming rich ... In fact, we should not blindly follow them, because we only see their beautiful side and know little or nothing about the details. When they set their goals, they all set out from reality and strive to achieve them. As we all know, when Sima Qian was convicted of corruption, he took the completion of Historical Records as his life goal, which made us admire. However, the strong cultural atmosphere of his family has given him a good cultural influence since he was a child. "At the age of ten, I can recite ancient prose", and I have studied historical books such as Zuo Zhuan and Guoyu, which has cultivated profound cultural accomplishment and firm ambition to write history. In addition, Sima Qian once roamed the whole country purposefully and visited historical sites on the spot. Wherever he goes, he will visit historical sites, listen to local elders telling historical events, collect historical materials and learn about mountains, rivers, products and social customs. He also broadened his horizons, raised his consciousness and made material preparations for the writing of Historical Records. So his determination of this goal is not emotional, but practical. Each of us has different conditions. When setting goals, we should foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and choose suitable goals. The so-called appropriateness is to make the goal conform to the individual's ability, don't aim too high and do what you can. If the goal is set too high and the strength and ability are insufficient, it will lead to frustration and loss of confidence, which is what we don't want to see. As long as our life is valuable and meaningful, it is worthy of recognition. If we can't be the sun, we will be stars and shine in our own constellations. If you can't be a big tree, be a grass and decorate your hopes with your own green; If you can't become a vast sea, then make a quiet stream to nourish the seedlings. If you can't be a great man, be yourself. This is also the need of the people and the country. Because society is not only composed of thinkers, scientists and artists, such a society is also imperfect. As long as we rely on our own conditions and do our best to contribute all our strength to the motherland and the people, we will not live in vain. We are also heroes and great men.
Third, to achieve the goal, we must be mentally prepared to meet the difficulties. Things in the world are often like this: if you don't succeed in your career, you will taste the bitter fruit first; If you don't pay for your ambition, you will fail first. Difficulties often seem to be against us. The higher the goal, the greater the difficulty. Therefore, whether you want to enter an ideal university in the near future or realize your long-term goals in the future, it is a necessary process. The process of actively preparing for the exam, getting up early and going to bed late, and trying to overcome one problem after another is precisely the process of cultivating your own quality of overcoming difficulties and pioneering, and is the necessary and necessary preparation for achieving long-term goals in the future. Teenagers' persistence and perseverance are not very mature. They do things easily and anticlimactic. They can stick to short-term goals, but it is difficult to stick to long-term goals. This requires you to exercise your will and always be ready to meet difficulties. As a teenager, geologist Li Siguang wanted to "build first-class warships, ships and a powerful navy" to resist the invasion of imperialist powers. 16 years old went abroad to study shipbuilding. After returning home, he went to study metallurgy and solved the steel needed for shipbuilding. Metallurgy needs prospecting, mining, mining and geology. Since then, he has been engaged in the research of geological science all his life. In order to make his dedicated career useful to the country, he changed his major many times and overcame many difficulties. Peng is a plant virologist in China, determined to contribute to the scientific cause of the motherland. He struggled with the disease for more than 20 years and once wrote such a poem: "How ambitious is seven feet? How about transforming the Gobi?" When the tiger came out of the mountain, Lin Wei lost confidence and was willing to bow his head and let it sink. "In order to achieve his life goals, he insisted on going to Xinjiang for scientific research on plant viruses many times regardless of his illness, and finally died in the Gobi Desert in Xinjiang. In the process of achieving our goals, sometimes we can't foresee the difficulties. When dealing with these, we need to consciously cultivate our will quality in our usual work and study, and make full preparations for overcoming difficulties in the future.
Students, you are full of vigor and vitality, like a red sun just going out to sea; You are full of energy, like an aspen. Go on an expedition with your life goals! There are difficulties and obstacles on the way forward, picturesque scenery. Only enterprising people can appreciate it. Modesty and Success Huang Yankun is an open-minded person who can accomplish everything, while a complacent person can accomplish nothing. "Attitude is everything." Former China men's soccer coach Milu once said this. Although some of his theories are absolute, they are also reasonable. A correct attitude is an important condition for a person to succeed. In the process of our life growth, it is particularly important to ask for advice modestly. Because we have to face a lot of new and unfamiliar knowledge every day, and people's understanding of new things is not smooth sailing, and it is easy to make mistakes. It is from constantly making mistakes that we learn modestly and increase our knowledge. In addition, there is a deepening process of understanding, and some mistakes will inevitably be made in the process of learning. The key is to treat the wrong attitude. Only by humbly admitting and determined to correct, and learning knowledge and skills from it, can we finally succeed.
In fact, the word "modesty" is an indispensable magic weapon for countless successful people. As the saying goes, if you wash a well three times and eat good water, people will learn high skills from the three divisions. Cheng Chao, known as "Wudang Hundred Teachers", visited martial arts shrines all over the country before 17 years old, in order to learn martial arts. He believes that no matter what kung fu you learn, you should not be conceited, but should widely use Bona, constantly integrate and constantly absorb nutrition. This is the mind and compulsory kung fu that a martial artist must have. He believes that a person can't achieve anything by working hard, no matter how hard he works. To this end, he visited Shaolin, Emei and Wudang ... Everywhere he went, he humbly asked all factions. After more than a year's visit, Cheng Chao has traveled all over the country, broadening his horizons and increasing his knowledge. His open-minded learning attitude paved the way for his success. In April 2000, he won two gold medals in boxing and cudgel in the first "Sanfeng Cup" Wushu Celebrity Invitational Tournament in the new century. Li Hongquan, who has been engaged in film screening for a long time, was transferred to Lanshan People's Armed Forces Department as a press officer on 1988. For him, reporting news is a "layman", but he can quickly grow from a "layman" to a "pen" of the armed forces. What does he rely on? His road to success is paved by being open-minded and eager to learn, and he always asks his colleagues around him for advice. In order to refine the language, he took every opportunity to read the manuscript to everyone and listen to their criticisms. At first, his comrades were very picky, but later they were moved by his modesty and took the initiative to participate in news writing. Hard work pays off. In just a few years, he has published 49 articles in central, provincial and municipal journals, and was rated as an advanced individual concerned about national defense education by Shandong Military Region, and was promoted to the chief of political work in advance.
Rivers and seas can only become deep if they don't refuse the trickle; Only when Mount Tai does not choose soil can it be great. Only by learning with an open mind and doing things with an open mind can we make progress and succeed. Such examples exist not only today, but also in history. Confucius, a master of Confucianism, grew up in a poor family and had no good educational conditions. He can only learn by self-study. He began to study hard from the age of 15, and asked for advice in many ways when he encountered difficulties, leaving a beautiful sentence of "where there are three people, there must be a teacher", which has always inspired countless people who study with humility. During the Song Dynasty, a scholar named Shi Yang visited his teacher Cheng Yi and asked him some questions. Unfortunately, it happened that Cheng Yi was taking a nap, and he was waiting outside the door. It was the middle of winter and it was snowing heavily. When Cheng Yi woke up and saw Shi Yang, the snow was already a foot deep. The example of "Chengmen Sydney" proves to us that teachers should also be modest. Once, a young man visited the painter Zell and asked, "Why does it take me only one day to draw a picture, but it takes a whole year to sell it?" "Please try it in turn. If you spend a year painting a picture, you may be able to sell it in one day. " Zell said. Later, it really happened. This story also tells us that we should listen to others' opinions with an open mind. Isn't that young man very successful? In real life, only people with an open mind can achieve real success. People with little knowledge are proud, while people with much knowledge are modest. Don't think too highly of yourself in everything. You should ask others humbly. Only the ears of wheat with low heads are good ears of wheat.
In the new century, in order to make a greater breakthrough in China's men's chess, Chen Zude, president of China Chess Academy, said meaningfully at the seminar: "If we men's chess players want to reach the world-class level and surpass Russia, we must learn advanced theories. Under such circumstances, it is imperative to invite foreign teachers. " To find your own shortcomings is to shout "I almost arrived", which is indispensable. Chen Zude did it. "The ancient saints are also far away, so it is appropriate to ask them from the teacher." We have not lost the spirit of seeking advice with an open mind and learning from each other's strengths. Now, in order to study and make progress, we learn from all people who are better than us, including foreign countries. The necessary supplement after affirming ourselves here can ensure that we can keep a clear head and not get lost in flowers and praise after making achievements. People should be arrogant and open-minded, keep a normal heart, face up to themselves and find out their shortcomings, so that you can make greater progress. A few days ago, Russian salov came to China to teach, which is a precedent in the history of China's national image. In just 28 days of teaching and training, he left advanced Russian school theory and unique training methods for China players, because he was moved by China's open-minded learning attitude.
An ordinary high school student should be a modest person, learning from ten and thinking about himself all the time. If you get a little success, you should take this as a starting point, be humble to others, and if you are careless, you will lose the game. Now is the time for China to develop rapidly. When you go to work, the social division of labor will become more and more detailed, and society needs cutting-edge technology and high-tech talents more. In fact, no one knows everything, and no one can do everything. Everyone has his own blind spot of knowledge. This requires us to learn with an open mind and cooperate sincerely. Only in this way can we accomplish great things together. On the contrary, if you are content with your little achievements, you will feel lost and unable to move forward. Indeed, people should not be complacent. Once proud, it is like a rolling stone on a high mountain. They can only retreat down the mountain. Pride goes before a fall, which is an eternal lesson. Because proud people often put themselves in an inappropriate position, wrongly underestimate others, overestimate themselves, be self-righteous, and refuse to listen to other people's criticisms and suggestions. In the end, we can't correctly understand the situation, can't adopt the correct opinions of others, and even lead to failure. It can be seen that pride is the enemy of progress and the bane of failure. Ma Su in Romance of the Three Kingdoms was too conceited to listen to the correct opinion of Wang Ping, the lieutenant, with an open mind, which led to the fall of the street pavilion, which not only caused heavy losses to the soldiers, but also destroyed Zhuge Liang's plan to March into the Central Plains. Masu has also become synonymous with an armchair strategist. Let's abandon conceit, listen to others' opinions with an open mind, warmly welcome others' criticisms, and always remember that modesty is almost always in direct proportion to talent.
