It was late at night, and the moonlight filtered through the windows and spread all over the floor. I sat alone in front of my desk, letting my tears wet the test paper with pitiful scores.
In this final exam, I fell far short of the expected results. I feel aggrieved, why do I pay so much, but get nothing every time? I blame God for being unfair. Unconsciously, I remembered the scene of reading at night, and the scene of my parents bringing me bread and milk. Why, why, am I really not good at studying?
Forget it, don’t think about it, turn on the light and read the extracurricular books. I turned on the desk lamp. I noticed that the biscuit crumbs on the table were moving. I pushed up my glasses to see clearly. I saw a few ants moving the biscuit crumbs. The biscuit crumbs moved and stopped, as if they were struggling to move them. It was really interesting! I got a magnifying glass and wanted to take a closer look at these little things. I also want to set up some "obstacles" for them. I put the pencil in front of them, and they were about to change direction. As a result, they were surrounded by my pens. Let's see what they will do this time! I observed carefully with a magnifying glass. A leading ant climbed onto the pen first, like a commander. Several more ants climbed up one after another. They tried to push the biscuit crumbs over, but they tried several times without success. The leading ant lifted the biscuit crumbs, and the ants behind pushed hard. It took about thirty minutes before the ants finally carried the biscuit crumbs away from the pencil.
I suddenly realized that even such a small ant is not discouraged in the face of setbacks. We humans should dare to face setbacks. I remembered again: Edison’s laboratory was bombed. Faced with such setbacks Edison did not lose his fighting spirit and successfully invented the phonograph in just three weeks; Beethoven was deaf in both ears, which was undoubtedly the biggest setback for a musician, but Beethoven did not flinch in the face of setbacks. He said: "I want to hold the throat of destiny." In this way, Beethoven created the world-famous "Destiny" symphony.
There are winds and rains on the road of life, and there are thorns everywhere. As long as we fight and fight, there will be flowers and applause waiting for us. Celebrities have said that setbacks are a bottomless abyss for incompetent people, but for those who dare to face setbacks, it is a stepping stone to success.
I opened the textbook again, and at this time the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the house. Wherever I fell, I got up. I laughed, setbacks, I challenge you, life is more exciting because of setbacks.
Postscript: My subsequent achievements are like sesame blossoms. I am grateful for that sleepless night. During that night, I tasted the setbacks and understood its connotation. I am grateful for the setbacks!
Frustration, pain, life
I heard it said: Eagles and eagles are originally from the same species, and their names are falcons. Every year there is a severe drought, the vegetation dies, all the deer and rabbits die, and the falcons become hungry. Some may fight against the sky, only to search for the tops of the mountains in vain; some may gather their wings and feathers and flutter away at the dust, preferring to settle for carrion and sacrifice their flesh. The former is proud and turns into an eagle, while the latter is contemptuous and is called a vulture. After hearing this, I said: In the year of severe drought, the Falcon clan faces setbacks and pain. Different aspirations lead to different futures. Wherever you belong, it is up to your will.
However, pain and setbacks are not limited to this one case in all things in the world. They exist everywhere in the vast universe. Have you ever seen a clear spring flowing through a large rock? This spring is also a setback. Those who choose to retreat will be sheltered in the shade of rocks and escaping in forest depressions, and will rot for a long time and will not be famous in the world; those who advance are not afraid of dangers and obstacles, and will attack millions of people in a circle, turning into deep valleys and rapids to choke boats and boats. Have you also seen the breeze blocked by the cliff? This is the frustration of the wind. Those who choose to avoid will be scattered outside the mountains, becoming invisible for a moment, and will be wiped out; those who choose to advance will continue to grind for thousands of millions of years, and then they will be covered by the flying sand of the red desert. The appearance of things depends on the choice of setbacks.
Throughout history, all those who have made great achievements have chosen to suffer setbacks. Baili Xi's actions and Sun Shuao's official career are all due to the hardships of adversity. However, Shi Qian's heart is determined by his great ambitions, and he is not discouraged by torture. He resolutely chooses life under heavy humiliation and setbacks. In the end, he has a swan song, a rhymeless coquettishness that makes later generations of writers sigh; Hou's ambition is to inherit the virtues of the late emperor and serve the country with all his loyalty. He points his sword at the Central Plains and never stops winning. Although he loses his big plan at the street pavilion, he never chooses to retreat. He returns to the army and finally builds his reputation as a hero and is praised throughout the ages.
Most people are unsatisfactory in life. Those who face setbacks and resolve them without speaking of pain. Those who have great ambitions and do not talk about failure can turn into outstanding people. Those who hesitate and return when faced with minor setbacks or boast about pain. There are countless people in the vast thousands of years, but no one has left his name.
It is known that there will be those who fall into the dust and mud, those who lose their ambition will die, and those who rise up will gain their feet; when an ape climbs a cliff, some will lose their hands and break their arms, those who become discouraged will perish, and those who struggle will gain magical skills. "There will be people who stumble in the wind and rain, those who are content to live in a cave, closed in and ignorant for the rest of their lives, and those who stand proudly jump on the water, wait for the rainbow to appear like a painting, and then climb up to the smooth road and enjoy the cool breeze." Tao Qian chose to live in seclusion and give up his glory instead of fighting for rice, so "Return to Come" has been recited for thousands of years. Unyielding in the face of danger, Wen Tianxiang chose to die in his country and gave up his official title, and his burning eyes and heart will shine in history forever!
