Difficulties and setbacks are as normal as wind and rain. If we face them with a normal heart, we can defeat them and change their color. Beethoven is one, Edison is one, Sima Qian is one...
I remember last year, I signed up for the Xuzhou Children's Calligraphy Competition. In the days before the competition, I have been practicing seriously and practicing carefully. Every afternoon after school, I would lock myself in my room and practice non-stop according to the calligraphy stickers. Until the morning of the competition, I walked into the examination room confidently. Looking at the four treasures of the study in front of me, I felt that I would definitely be on the list. Maybe it was this moment of pride that made me miss success.
A few days later, I received a letter, and all the words in that letter were words of comfort to me. In an instant, I understood everything. I failed in this competition. At that moment, tears burst out of my eyes. Was all my usual hard work in vain? Are my hopes dashed like a soap bubble? Why is this happening? There was a heart-wrenching pain in my heart. I thought to myself: "I must not have given enough, I must give more."
From then on, every afternoon after school, when other children went to play football, I would stand alone on the table Practice calligraphy beforehand. I think about every stroke seriously. Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it’s spring of the second year. I stepped into the familiar examination room again. This time I thought to myself: I must do well in the exam. Sure enough, my hard work paid off and I won the second prize.
Difficulties and setbacks often accompany us on the road of life. The key is whether we can proactively meet them and challenge them, so that we can gain valuable success. In life, cold wind and rain come from time to time, dimming the color of our lives. If we take the courage to change it and create it, our sky will be colorful. Friends, let’s change the color of difficulty together!
