Excerpted from an American article entitled "Thank you for the storm"

The cold wind blows wildly outside the window, and the wind is mixed with drizzle, dripping, like cow hair, like needles, like filaments. Walking in this drizzle, I feel particularly refreshing. I reached out and touched the thin rain, and soon I was intoxicated with this poetic picture.

Not far away, a flower, washed by drizzle, seems more vibrant and beautiful than before; The sky has also become blue, higher and cleaner, as clear and blue as jasper; Streams have to be baptized by rain and injected with new vitality. The stream is singing and running away, because they all have a dream: running to the sea ... everything in nature seems to have washed away fatigue and become more energetic.

Seeing this beautiful nature, it suddenly occurred to me that everything in nature has become more beautiful, rather than decadent after the storm. Nature is like this, so is our life.

"The blade comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold." The reason why the sword is sharp must be that it has been tempered by countless blows from the caster before it is refined into such a sharp blade. The plum blossoms in Leng Yan are fragrant because they have withstood the tests of cold winter, cold wind and cold snow, and only then will they have the spirit of being proud of snow in the wind and bloom such beautiful plum blossoms. Similarly, an upright and successful person must stand up again after countless falls, because a lyric says well: "How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?" Therefore, no one can succeed casually.

The "storm" of nature means setbacks in life. Only when a person has experienced numerous setbacks can he succeed, overcome setbacks and become the master of life.

Maybe there are many ups and downs in life, but ups and downs are not necessarily disasters, and disasters are not necessarily pains. Wind and rain can make me understand the philosophy of life, and I am grateful for it. We should learn to face the wind and rain, work hard under the encouragement of the wind and rain, keep moving forward towards our own life goals, never give up, go forward bravely, cross the mountains and dangerous beaches until the other side of success.

Frustration is a fortune in our life and a good medicine to promote our success. How can flowers that have not experienced wind and rain be gorgeous, and how can life that has not experienced tempering shine brilliantly? How can people not fall again and again, get up and grow up after falling again and again? Wrestling and falling is also a kind of happiness, and wind and rain are the precursors of rainbows after rain! Life is our own, our destiny is in our own hands, and our decisions and mentality are our choices.

Wind and rain, we have the responsibility to face and solve. We must understand that it is not terrible, just as we have always had the courage to sing this song: How can we see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? No one can succeed casually.

In the storm, I want to thank you, accompany me to grow up and let me understand a lot of life. ...
