Chapter 1:
This semester, we studied a text - "The Magic of Money". In the article, Todd and the boss were so ugly when they saw money that I was disgusted and it also made me disgusted. I understand a lot of truth. Introduction to the article
This text is excerpted from the book "Millions of Pounds" by the famous American writer Mark Twain, which greatly satirized those people in society at that time who were blind to money and loved it as much as their lives. We should not act like our bosses and Todd, who are greedy for money and only seek profit, and use the amount of money to determine our attitude towards people. Regardless of whether the other person is poor or a rich man, treat them warmly and respect them.
"One Million Pounds" tells the story of a poor, honest man, the protagonist of this story, who received a letter from a pair of brothers, which gave him one million pounds. It turns out that this brother made a bet on what would happen to a poor, honest man if he received one million pounds from the sky. The brother thought that he would starve to death because he could not prove that the money was his own and would be suspected by others. Even the bank would not let him save money. The younger brother thought he would live well, so the brothers lent the poor man a check for one million pounds and went abroad for thirty days. Unexpectedly, during this period of time, people tried their best to win over this rare rich man who suddenly became rich. From free meals, buying clothes, to free accommodation, they tried to please him one by one, and constantly improved his social status. It has reached the highest status outside the early royal family, the Duke! Not only that, he also got a good wife and 30,000 pounds in bank interest. Finally, he got a good job from the two brothers and lived a very comfortable life.
After closing the book, I quietly closed my eyes and thought deeply. I envied this protagonist, but at the same time, I thought: Isn't the reason why people please him because people at that time valued money too much? Money worship is shameful, and getting something for nothing is even more inappropriate? Money is not everything, there are many things in the world that are more important than money...
Chapter 2:
When a grass has a wish, it will bloom into a flower When a clam has a wish, it will grow a pearl; when a stone has a wish, it will create a castle. This is what I felt after reading "When a Stone Has a Wish".
It tells a story: A postman tripped over a stone on the way to deliver a letter. He discovered this beautiful stone and decided to use this stone to build a castle. In the end, he realized his dream and made the low castle a beautiful sight in the local area. He carved on a stone at the entrance of the castle: "I want to know how far a stone with a wish can go."
As the saying goes: "A drop of water penetrates a stone, and a rope saws the wood." When a When a drop of water has a wish, it can endure loneliness and boredom, and it can drip through a stone; when a rope has a wish, it can endure pain and destruction, and it can cut the wood. What about that person? What about the heart? When Yu Gong had the desire to move the mountain, he and his descendants worked tirelessly to dig it out day and night; when a man with burns all over his body had the desire to return to work, he was able to get out of the wheelchair and walk in the bloody After soaking, I took steps again and started writing again. The protagonist in "A Book from Two Places" fell from the plane but did not want to face the wheelchair. With the encouragement of his mother, he faced the three major pains in life with a smile. After recovering, they studied alone in a foreign country, raised the five-star red flag in their school, and won two gold medals at the sports meeting!
There was once a saying to the effect of this: "Great actions are always accompanied by great plans, and great plans are worthless if they are not accompanied by great actions." Desires are not Should this be the case?
Wishes are dreams, and wishes are the wings on which a person's heart can fly. Because of these wings, people can soar in the sky; because of these wings, people have discovered more constellations; because of these wings, the moon is no longer as mysterious as before; because of these wings, people are becoming more and more knowledgeable about the universe day by day. Learn more... This pair of wings has given us a lot, and it has led us to discover the road to success.
That’s great, I will always remember this article - "When a Stone Has a Wish".
