Chapter 1: Dreams are precious because of persistence. Dreams are illusory, and so are thoughts. Are dreams more illusory?
Dream, an unreachable word, is as elusive as the future, but there is a word called realizing dreams, so can you grasp it?
People who realize their dreams will say how hard and tired they used to be, but they persisted and finally caught their dreams; People who don't realize their dreams are mostly because they don't have dreams, but because they don't persist. We are just ordinary people, but we all have a heart with dreams, but we don't all have perseverance.
There are so many people and dreams, and the things that exist in the world should be despised by people. Just like cheap goods, they can only be sold cheaply, but their dreams are different. It shines brightly and insists on making it more eye-catching. Those dreams are valuable because of persistence.
I used to have many dreams, such as being rich when I grow up, being admitted to one of the best universities when I grow up, and having a high degree ... These dreams were a long time ago, seemingly unrealistic, but unrealistic are called dreams rather than ideals. My recent dream is to follow the footsteps of literature and travel in a cool way before the college entrance examination and after graduation ... There are many more, but I can't remember them clearly ... Maybe it was time that made me see the reality clearly and gave up the dream that I couldn't reach when I was a child, and it was also because I didn't persist and gave up those dreams that I might be able to catch if I tried harder. People are lazy, right? Try to overcome that laziness. Can we be more successful than we are now?
I'm just an ordinary person, a little numb. At first I vowed to be a small bar owner, but last month I offered to resign. Only two or three months later, I began to give up. If I hadn't given up, would I be as famous as the master now? I know that success is not fast, maybe this idea is too unreliable. I am a failed person who has a dream but doesn't know how to stick to it. Until now, looking back on the past 20 years, I found myself really mediocre, without special talent, admitted to a good university, without special ability to handle affairs, and even without any valuable qualities!
Dreams are really out of reach for a group of people like me. Maybe we won't touch them in this life, but if we persist a little more, we may be able to touch the shining corner.
Dreams are empty, but the important thing is to persist! A little more persistence, and we can become successful people!
Chapter 2: Persistence, Achieving Dreams It has been said that the sadness of life lies in: wrong persistence and easy giving up. Looking back, it is really easy to do it well in one day, but it is not easy to do it well all your life. Some people just don't have enough patience, perseverance and perseverance, so it's easy to give up the chance of success.
I always feel that life is so short that I want to seize the opportunity to do something I like, but I have never tried it. I will never succeed if I just talk and don't do it. When I come to college, I want to study hard, because my ideal is to be a primary school teacher, find a stable job and have a stable income in the future. I thought so in my heart, but I never put it into action. Even if I did, I persisted for a few days, and my enthusiasm for work was only three minutes. Three days of fishing and two days of surfing the internet have no effect at all.
I gave up when I encountered difficulties, but I just didn't have perseverance. I just said that I should study hard and do everything well, but in less than three days, I gave up, forgot my original promise and started surfing the Internet and reading novels again. I'm graduating soon now. Looking back on the hard work at the beginning, I feel a little sorry. It is not easy for my parents to earn money for my education. Can I live up to my parents? After studying for more than ten years, I am only one step away from success. Why should I give up? Why not insist? Dreams without persistence are always just "dreams".
God is fair. He gave everyone a key to success. No matter who you are, as long as you grasp the key of persistence, the dawn of success will shine on you without stint. With persistence, you can split the thorns and cut them off. You can fall down a thousand times and stand up a thousand times. Why didn't it work? That's because persistence has not accumulated enough success. In the great cause of heaven, people must first suffer their minds, work their bones and muscles, and starve their bodies and skins.
In the face of difficulties, we must go forward bravely. For example, like Steve Jobs, from dropping out of school to starting a business again to fighting against illness, he always faced difficulties with a warrior's attitude and pursued his dreams persistently, eventually achieving the glory of life and becoming a strong man in life. In fact, it is not suffering, not wasting yourself, but not hesitating when setting goals.
Jobs had a long life, but because of his love for his career, he took on great responsibilities and made greater achievements. In the face of difficulties, there are still more great men who persist. Confucius' carriage bumped on the narrow path all his life, but it couldn't close the palace door. Liu Wei played a magnificent battle song of life with persistence and optimism. One by one, it seems that life is always associated with suffering. They suffered the misfortune of life, but they honed immortal spiritual wealth in it. Because their persistence makes their dreams come true.
I want to understand that the difficulty is not a punishment, but an opportunity to learn, which will make me reflect and strengthen my belief. Facing difficulties directly is a kind of courage, a kind of persistence and a kind of responsibility. Real success is not only a result, but also how you get there. Persevere, set out to dream and March towards success. I believe I will succeed, persist and realize my dream. Only by perseverance, success is in sight.
Chapter 3: Persistence, let the dream set sail. Maybe you haven't heard of Lucky Rabbit Lucky Rabbit Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. But you must have heard of Mickey Mouse. But in the late 1920s, he was more famous than Mickey Mouse.
The story of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit the Lucky Rabbit begins when Walter Disney and ub iwerks (Disney's talented graphic artists) just moved to California. By that time, Disney and Fox had become famous by making animated short films in Kansas. But the profits of those cartoons were less than expected, so they decided to move to the west. They came to California and Hollywood. In Hollywood, they created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a lucky rabbit, which quickly became a new favorite on the screen.
However, the ownership of the image of Lucky Rabbit Oswald the Lucky Rabbit does not belong to Disney and Ai Fox, but belongs to Universal Studios. After the success of Lucky Rabbit Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, executives of Universal Studios used it to blackmail Disney. They threatened Disney that if he didn't reduce the production cost of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit Lucky Rabbit, they would poach his best animator. Although Disney and Ai Fox were deeply offended, they decided to avoid the lawsuit that was likely to lose and concentrate on their creation.
Finally, after their long-term painstaking creation, a new animated character was born-Mickey Mouse. Mickey mouse until now, I believe everyone knows.
They went forward bravely in setbacks, did not flinch because of difficulties, did not give up, but looked for new opportunities and achieved different glories.
Life is not like this. Successful people, whether born poor or rich, must have suffered many setbacks, satire and blows from others. However, they persisted, so they succeeded. Let's say Lei Jun. What Lei Jun knows about him is that he is the founder of Xiaomi Company, and he started the Xiaomi era. But do you know that he has another identity? That is, he used to be the CEO of Jinshan Company. Just a few days ago, at Xiaomi's new product launch conference, Lei Jun also said that 13 years ago, he left his hometown alone and came to Beijing on the train to Beijing. He was only confused and thought more about where to live and what to eat tonight. Now, why can he achieve what others expect in this life? Why can he live a life that others can't? He can have wealth that others don't. For people like us, his family didn't provide him with a good family, high status and rich network resources, more because he worked hard and worked hard. He can persist to the extent that others can't do it, thus having the ability that others can't do and achieving the cause that others can't do.
Everyone longs for a smooth life, but is life without setbacks and blows still life? There is only an ideal utopia. Setbacks and blows, in the hearts of the weak, are the end of the world, but in the eyes of the brave, they are the new beginning of life.
The weak become depressed under repeated blows, carrying the shell of life, but living a snail's life. Perhaps they have no troubles in life, but they have wasted their time, wasted their years and left regrets in mediocrity.
Brave people regard repeated blows as the driving force to forge ahead, hold the determination to get up from where they fell, grit their teeth, turn the pain of broken heads into rising power, and turn the lessons of black and blue wounds into raised sails. Keep sailing under the dark clouds. When the sun penetrates the dark clouds, the other side of success has arrived.
A person's life is made up of countless fragments, each of which has a different color, bright, dark and low. Only when properly matched, the picture of life will be more charming.
Remember, as long as you don't bow your head, no one can make you kneel, tears can flow, blood can flow, and never bow your head. Even if you are humble, you should stand up and raise your head, strengthen your faith and pursue your dreams. In the future, who can decide, fate is in your hands, don't care how much you have now, for fear that you don't have an eternal heart.
The last sentence: turn the stumbling block on the road to success into a stepping stone, otherwise you will become a stepping stone on the road to success for others.
Article 4: Stick to your dream weekend and have lunch with your daughter in the coffee shop. I like the dining environment in the coffee shop, which is elegant, simple and quiet. I found a window seat and took the menu from the waiter. Niuniu is a special food. She is the kind of person who can eat for a lifetime-aunt, do you have any risotto? The waiter said no, Niu Niu was a little disappointed. However, she still likes to eat clay pot rice, so she ordered a rib clay pot rice. I ordered a Japanese beef set meal and a glass of milk papaya juice. Soon, delicious and healthy meals came up.
During the dinner, we ate and talked. Surprisingly, Niu Niu actually talked to me about literature.
She told me about her classmates with good compositions. She said that the classmate likes to watch banana philosophy, and she said that she also wants to watch it. I haven't seen banana philosophy, but it sounds good. I have always encouraged her to read.
Then, Niu Niu changed the subject and talked about another classmate of hers: this classmate's Chinese score is quite good, and he has been contributing articles everywhere. She said that this classmate of hers adored me. I looked at Niu Niu and said, go back and tell your classmates to keep it up. In such a world, what a delightful thing it is to persevere and have dreams. It can be said to be a miracle.
Niu Niu also has a dream, and she insists on it. Her dream is music. She likes singing and wants to be a singer. I support this unconditionally. Because I deeply understand that in this world, fewer and fewer people have and stick to their dreams.
The topic changed from literature to music. I am delighted to find that Niu Niu has grown up. At least at this moment, she understood what I said.
At the school meeting last night, I received a phone call from Wenyou. I told her that I would call her later. After the meeting, I called Wenyou. Wenyou said she was very upset. She said her prose was not good and wanted to write novels like me. However, she felt that no matter how she wrote it, it was beside the point. She asked me a good question: Is the language of prose the same as that of novel? Of course not. I said. Prose is sincere and fiction is fiction. Fiction is much longer than prose, but the author really wants to express very little. A novel can have tens of thousands of words, but writing it down may only express one meaning, which is the wonder of the novel. Moreover, it is a wonderful thing that a thousand readers have a thousand different ideas after reading this novel. Wenyou seems to understand what I said, but I still support her. I always remember her saying to my face that I can't make up stories. What should I do? I want to tell her that there is no other way but to keep writing and reading. Everything is waiting for you ahead.
Talking about literature with my daughter and friends, I like it!
Chapter 5: Insisting on the simplicity of dreams, we have to start from Henan Writers' Network.
After the publication of my collection of local prose novels Wild Watermelon, I have always had a vague idea, hoping to find some famous writers or celebrities to appreciate the quality of my works. The content of this book is mostly published in space, which is highly praised by friends in space literature. I also sprouted the idea of publishing and put it into action. I'm not sure about the quality of what I say. Although Yang Guicai, the teacher who wrote my preface, gave me a high evaluation, I have been very nervous and think that this is not the case. Teacher Yang Guicai is a literary elder whom I successfully met through the president of Henan Daily. He and President Cheng are old friends, so I feel that his evaluation of my words will inevitably be exaggerated because of being soft-hearted.
The reason why I use the adjective hazy in front of my thoughts is because I have never really analyzed my psychology before. In fact, I subconsciously want to look for celebrities to appreciate it for two purposes: first, to enhance the influence of the work. Although my book has come out, it has not been widely listed for various reasons and is little known. Especially as a famous writer of the writers' association of the authoritative department, I don't know the existence of this book at all, which is an unspeakable embarrassment and hidden pain for me. But I didn't keep in touch with Mr. Yang Guicai, and I didn't know any celebrities in other literary circles. How to make famous writers see my books and comment on them, and expand their influence, has become a big problem for me. The second is to join the Provincial Writers Association. It is my lifelong dream to join the Writers Association, become a writer and communicate with literary celebrities. Teacher Yang Guicai once mentioned to the Provincial College of Literature and recommended me to join the Provincial Writers Association, but it was never implemented. There are many reasons during this period, so I won't repeat them here. But this matter ran aground after all, which made me always bitter. These two hopes gradually became clear after I had a simple understanding. I posted articles on Henan writers' online, and even consciously contacted the Provincial Writers Association, but I didn't understand them.
Probably in the second half of last year, by chance, I broke into Henan Writers Network. I don't remember how I got in. Driven by my above psychology, I entered the website of Henan Writers Association for the first time. The pleasure of meeting each other late is self-evident It feels like a person who has been alone for a long time in the hot summer, and when he is thirsty, he meets a clear spring. I registered an account on the website and often published my works in the prose and novel sections. However, I lost interest before Tuozai. Before I entered Henan Writers Network, I played the starting point of Shanghai, the prose online in Ningbo and the Jiangshan in Beijing, but I lost interest in playing. I have carefully explored the reason why I lost interest, not because I lost interest in the text itself, but because these websites are all profit-oriented cultural enterprises and have not established a management mechanism that most authors agree with. To put it mildly, these websites don't understand the author's real needs. To put it more seriously, they don't understand the dialectical relationship between doing something and inaction. The biggest confusion of amateur authors is that they can't clearly judge whether their finished works are good or bad. And their greatest need is to get comments and corrections from celebrities. For enterprises, customers are God; Therefore, for literary websites, the author is the support for survival. Whether it is people-oriented, whether it can satisfy the author's demands and wishes, make the author feel at home, and have warm and cordial recognition, I think this should be the key to whether the website can be stronger and bigger. Otherwise, the interest will drop sharply (at present, I think Mangyuan, a bimonthly pure literature in Henan Province, is doing well. They not only pay the author the manuscript fee, but also have famous comments behind the published works, which is worth learning. Unfortunately, Henan Writers' Network also gave me the same feeling of chicken ribs, which is also a * * * sexual problem existing in domestic literature websites in recent years. However, I happened to see a group of writers in Henan Writers' Network, to be exact, it was Group 3 of the original Henan Writers' Network. In fact, the quality of Henan writers' network was not important to me at that time, because my focus was not here. I found the administrator Xiao Zhao in the group. He is a staff member of the Provincial Writers Association. I briefly told her about my situation, and then asked her if she could help me contact an authoritative writer and have a look at my works. She said without thinking, this matter, you can find a simple one. I said, who is simple? She said, you don't know him. He is one of the most active and famous poets in recent years. Then she gave me simple contact information.
I got a simple mobile phone number and couldn't wait to dial the phone that afternoon. Jane was away on business at that time, attending a pen meeting. But his sincerity and enthusiasm for me, a strange and unknown author, is beyond my expectation and imagination. I made all kinds of assumptions before calling him. For example, what is his attitude, will he put on airs, will he make excuses and so on. And according to my thinking, I made coping strategies in different categories. His sincerity and enthusiasm instantly dispelled my doubts and made me close to him, like a reunion of long-lost friends. Anyway, I'll contact you when I get back to Zhengzhou in a few days.
To put it simply, the day after he returned to Zhengzhou, he took the initiative to call me to meet him in his office.
Before I went to see Jane, I looked up some information about him online. When you open a search engine in Baidu, there are more than 20,000 poems and personal introductions about him. The most famous are "avant-garde poets" and "network poets". Here, I quote a comprehensive and general introduction to him: Simplicity is a pioneer poet who has been active on the Internet since the birth of online poetry. Simple teacher is not only famous on the internet, but also his colleague poetry magazine "Other Provinces", which is almost unknown in the poetry circle. As one of the representative poets in China after 1970s, his work "Hu's Beautiful Story" provides a mirror copy of our present life, and his character "Hu" is even more vivid, which has attracted many readers for more than 65,438+00 years.
The simple office is in Donghanzhai Community at the intersection of Dongming Road and Hong Zhuan Road. After greeting each other, I soon got used to pure enthusiasm and sincerity, or quickly eliminated the strange barrier with him. Because in front of this tall, burly, handsome and steady middle-aged man, those sincerity and enthusiasm are not disguised, but natural and innate. Therefore, my previous concerns vanished in an instant. That day, I, Jane, and Yunchang, the three of us, had a good chat in his19th floor office. From literature to life, from emotion to works, speak freely and talk about everything. Yun Chang is very active in the writers' online group. I have known him for a long time and learned that his novel Pursuit will be published soon. We talked about the lack of faith, the devaluation of culture, our own life experiences, and the contradictions and puzzles in our creation and life. To put it simply, I am actually very simple, but I have been sticking to my dream. For 20 years, no matter what setbacks I encountered, I never gave up writing. Writing, to some extent, has become a necessity in my life, just as people need air, sunshine and water to survive.
We also talked about old people, filial piety and hometown. When we first met, as the topic deepened, we didn't feel strange at all. I talked about how my mother served my father until he was old in my hometown in the 1980s after his illness. I also talked about my mother's illness, saying that my main energy in recent years has been spent on serving my mother and treating her. After listening briefly and thinking for a while, he talked about his father's car accident. His tone is gloomy and his expression is dignified. He said that when I was still in middle school, my father's accident made me immersed in sadness for a long time, and I felt that the sky was always gray, like rust. At that time, it was mainly faced with economic pressure. A rural child, studying in the county, suddenly lost his financial resources. You can imagine what that would be like. I almost dropped out of school because of this and suffered a lot. It is this kind of life that has sharpened my will and made me enter literature more deeply. He said that poetry had always warmed him at that time, and in the cold dormitory without quilt, poetry roasted him like fire. He said that he remembered writing poems at that time, lying on the only desk in the dormitory and writing with a pencil. It's cold and it's snowing outside. He said that in retrospect, it was quite poetic, but it was very cold at that time, and I rubbed my hands with cold. The winters in those years were very cold. He also talked about his mother. He said that his mother was a very strong woman and optimistic, which greatly influenced his later life. After his father died, the simple mother took care of everything at home. In the most difficult time, she also sang the major of Henan pendant and folk artist Bai Niu, encouraging him to study hard. Speaking of hometown, to put it simply, gratitude is an emotion that everyone should have. Every time I go back to my hometown, I feel that every river is kind, because there are my memories, a part of my life and my relatives. I have many poems dedicated to my hometown, Shangdian, which is a small town. Compared with my city life, it is my "Xanadu".
The simple office is a three-bedroom high-rise residence with an area of about160m2. The living room is an office with desks and chairs, computer lights and office equipment. A room is full of books wrapped in kraft paper. Our conversation was held in another reception room, because the water dispenser was in the outside office, and it just kept walking back and forth between the two rooms, pouring tea and water for us. Friends, can you imagine my inner feelings? It is a kind of unspeakable gratitude, gratitude, apology and other mixed derivatives. He is a celebrity, but he doesn't consider himself a celebrity at all. Only by treating himself as an ordinary and insignificant individual, as our bosom friend and bosom brother, can he have such deep sincerity, passionate feelings and humble approachability.
That night, Yunchang and I were invited to dinner. I left early because I had other plans.
I have to admit that simple personality charm is powerful. This is not only the warm artistic atmosphere that keeps flowing from him, but more importantly, because he persists and persists even after his success, as well as the care and support of unknown authors. On that occasion, he proposed to hold an online gathering of friends of Henan writers.
Shortly after that, my mother died. My mother lives in Zhengzhou. Because of her sudden death, she was unable to send her body back to her hometown according to the opinions of many relatives. She can only be cremated in Zhengzhou and then allowed to go back to her hometown for burial. As an only child, I have even been deprived of the right to vent my sadness at this sad moment, and there are too many urgent things waiting for me to deal with myself. I can only tighten my nerves, strengthen my spirit and fulfill a series of secular wishes in great detail after my mother's death. It was not until the night my mother was cremated that she cried. After my mother died, I didn't have any simple contact for a long time. I need a period of emotional recovery, a period of self-adjustment time and space. Simple originally said that I would be recommended to join the Provincial Writers Association at the end of the year, but this time I can only regret missing the declaration.
I met Jane for the second time some time ago. Let's briefly mention the old story, and then talk about holding a literary friend party. As one of the famous online poets, the founder and manager of Henan Writers' Network, Jane knows the significance of online literature to the authors, and says that to enliven the writers' network, first of all, we must do a good job of leadership, and secondly, literary friends should form a strong team. And the foundation of the team is contact and communication. Therefore, he attaches great importance to the organization of this activity. Just ask Yunchang and I to help prepare for the party. His sincerity and passion are irresistible. Simple in recent years, I have been writing novels, Yunchang is engaged in pharmaceutical business, and I have been engaged in the pilot declaration and project construction of kitchen waste treatment projects. Everyone is very busy. And we all know that this activity is purely public welfare and unofficial, not only unprofitable, but also the problem of funds. Other issues such as venue rental aside, invited celebrities and friends in the literary and art circles have to eat at least two or three thousand yuan. In short, for the sake of Henan's online literature, I am willing to pay for it myself and organize everyone.
On second thought, I don't think it is appropriate. Because the biggest beneficiary of the party is not the organizer, but the participants. I suggest adopting aa system. Finally, everyone passed my suggestion-a membership fee of RMB 0/00 per person. The sincerity, friendship and hearty at the event site have been experienced by the literary and art friends who participated in it. It should be mentioned that Wenyou's 100 yuan was returned, including the expenses of the stenographer at the venue, which was paid by him.
Dedication comes from the extension of dreams. This is my simple evaluation, as well as this and future activities.
In short, he has been sticking to his dream. No matter what setbacks he encounters, he will never give up writing or his friends who love writing.
