20 18 college entrance examination composition material: the quickest step for people is "persistence"

I read a book recently and accidentally turned to an account, which was quite touching. When Shi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, was the judge of Haizhou, he found that "the mountains are high and steep, people and roads are blocked, and there are no flowers to decorate the reflection" opposite the county government. One day, he had a whim and had peach stones wrapped in yellow mud and made into small balls, which were then thrown into the mountains one by one in his spare time. After a few years, it turned out to be "full of flowers." Later, Su Shi traveled here and wrote a poem in praise: "Sitting makes the empty mountain beautiful, and leaning on the sky shines countless flowers on the sea." On the surface, the empty mountain benefits from the poet's whimsy and elegant taste, but in essence it comes from day after day's persistence. After several years, no one can remember who took part in the throwing game in the Qing Dynasty, and it is impossible to calculate how many peach stones finally landed on the hillside. However, what is certain is that there will be no surprises all over the mountains without persistent repeated sowing and silent waiting. In fact, it's not that you are determined to learn to start a business.

"Career often becomes perseverance and is destroyed by impatience. In the desert, I have seen travelers who are in a hurry fall behind calmly; The galloping horse fell behind, and the slow camel moved on. " As the poet said, life is a long way, not the speed of one place at a time. In Caowangba Village, Zunyi, Guizhou, Huang Dafa, an old branch secretary, spent 36 years. With perseverance, he finally cut through the canal "around three mountains, over three cliffs and over three dangerous cliffs", which completely changed the fate of water shortage for generations. There is no overnight success in the world, and there is no "big country" that falls from the sky; Those who are not in a hurry and forge ahead towards the set goals will reach the other side of their dreams in time.

Decadence has no beginning, and fresh talents have an end. The word "persistence" is easier said than done; It is not difficult to do it for a while, but it is difficult to do it for a lifetime. Socrates once assigned homework to his students and asked them to cut their hands hundreds of times a day. As a result, all the students can finish it on the first day, but only half can persist after one month, and only Plato can persist after one year. In reality, many people are also in high spirits at the beginning of their business, but their enthusiasm and passion have gradually faded during the long and arduous journey. As everyone knows, even if you are slow, even if you encounter setbacks, as long as you persist and work hard for a long time, you will eventually encounter beautiful scenery. Persistence can be said to be a vivid footnote of dreams.

Of course, persistence doesn't mean that we don't know the direction clearly, ignore the reality and advance blindly. In the right direction, no matter how slow you walk, you will eventually arrive; Without a goal, no matter how fast you move, it's hard to get what you want. Today, with the rapid economic development, the "career map" has been rapidly refreshed, and people are facing more career choices and a faster pace of life. In this context, some people think that accumulation and persistence are outdated and efforts have no future. As a result, they pursue quick success and instant benefit with the fastest speed, open online stores to make money and become shopkeepers. "Internet celebrities" became popular and rushed to broadcast live ... In impetuousness, they gradually fell into a vicious circle of inefficiency and hectic. For individuals, it is inevitable to draw water with a sieve without thinking about their own position and focusing on process accumulation.

The slowest step is not to take a step, but to hesitate; The quickest step is not to sprint, but to persist. There were no birds in Saihanba, Hebei Province before, but now the trees are lush and the sky is clean. This green mile reflects the persistence of Saihanba people for more than half a century. Everything is always expensive and unchangeable. The persistence of the sun is always the golden key to open the door of dreams.
