- I would like to dedicate this article to He Zhongxiang, the third place student in science in this mid-term exam
Mid-term exam results Come out and you will be ranked third among flowers. However, more than two weeks have passed, and I have yet to put pen to paper and fulfill my promise. I won’t tell you the reason, but you can understand it.
As the saying goes: People in the world cannot help themselves. Life is full of all kinds of helplessness. Although I have a strong willpower and I think as a class teacher I can turn the situation around on my own, but the development of some things will not change according to my personal will. When I became involved with the authorities as a bystander, I became a complete authority figure in the development of events. From awakening to confusion, it only takes one thought. Every day, my body is busy with chores and my mind is obsessed with worldly thoughts. Just when I was frustrated, your "exam reflection" gave me great inspiration.
? "'When things come up, your mind responds, and when things go, your mind stops.' These four simple words are easy to say but difficult to do. When everything returns to calmness, except for 'the mind stops' , what else can we do? In the face of test results, there is no need to explain too much. Whether it is ideal or not, it is past, no need to care, just do what you want to do seriously, don't worry about it. It is enough to make excuses for failure, but to learn lessons from it and take your exams seriously. The Buddha said: "The shadow of bamboo sweeps across the steps without moving, and the moon passes through the bottom of the pond without leaving a trace." This is probably true no matter what you do! You have to face everything calmly and with a smile. "
You are right, you have to be able to take things and let them go, otherwise, everything you have will be in vain. Cai Kangyong also said: "You should treat life like a refrigerator—fill it to empty it, not to preserve it." People often say: Only by not forgetting the original intention can you always be there. But they don’t know: the original intention is easy to get, but it is always hard to find. Life is like a journey, and the destination is the driving force of the journey. We care about it, but we can’t care too much.
As high school students, we have ideals, pursuits, and drive. We are full of youthful vitality. We value results, but we value the process more than the results. Effort, hard work, perseverance, meditation, devotion...these are all scenery in the journey of life. Whether your life is beautiful or not depends on the process of your pursuit and your mood when looking at the scenery.
? "The shadow of the bamboo sweeps across the steps without moving the dust, and the moon penetrates the bottom of the pond without leaving a trace." This is a Buddhist verse, which means that no matter how everything changes, it cannot affect one's mood. Be calm and unmoved by the outside world. The wind moves and the flags move, but the heart does not move. The level of your state of mind determines the level of your life realm. The level of your life realm does not depend on the size of what you do, but on the degree of awareness you have in doing it.
There is a Buddhist saying: Situations arise from the heart, and the situations change with the heart. There is no situation outside the heart, and the situation never leaves the heart. If the original mind is pure, hell is also a paradise; if the mind is troubled, heaven will eventually become a ghost palace. The three years of high school are the most difficult period in the early days of life, and also the darkest period before dawn. We fight bloody battles in the most difficult times, and we describe our lives in the darkest times.
He Zhongxiang, during nearly a year of getting along with me in my second year of high school, the teacher deeply felt that you are very determined. High school study requires this kind of Zen spirit. In your future life, the teacher hopes that you will become a warrior in a bloody battle, hope that you will be the light in the darkness, and more importantly, hope that you will dare to take responsibility, bravely shoulder the heavy responsibility of the future of the motherland, and move towards the Chinese dream.
