Japan? Daisaku Ikeda
I firmly believe that youth means not only age or physical youth. Only by persisting in the belief of youth all one's life, perseverance and hard work, is the true glory of youth.
Don't imagine that life is smooth sailing, first of all, we should cultivate the ability to have a keen insight into the world and society. Knowledge is a kind of power. Never compromise easily and drag out an ignoble existence. Instead, we should fight against society with courage and wisdom and grow up in difficulties and hardships. There are indeed many contradictions between the world and society, and problems that must be solved are piling up. However, if you blame everything on the world, there will be no real self-growth. Make yourself strong, don't drift with the tide in the secular evil flow, and become a person who promotes society and changes the environment. People must be revolutionary.
The value of the past flows in the present. The future picture is mainly conceived in the present. Old people should not use the past to criticize the present, but should project better things from the past to the present, while young people must correctly grasp the present and design the future. Mature people today should cherish the past, face up to the present and cherish the future. Everyone should contribute wisdom to a better present and future. I think it is better to eliminate each other's prejudice and achieve the goal of harmony than to eliminate each other's isolation. Based on this knowledge, the discussion will be effective.
Fame is priceless to young people. A young man who challenges a new undeveloped field must have the ambition to March towards the ideal, and at the same time, he must have the wisdom to correctly understand the times and society. Don't be a stupid young man who has only courage and can't see clearly the intention of politicians and the trend of the times. Go your own way, won't you lose the privilege and joy of youth?
The characteristics of young people are pure passion and ambition, and the spirit of going through fire and water to realize their ideals. The so-called young people want to live like young people, that is, to devote themselves to their own aspirations and do their best without regret.
Young people should study and work hard in their own harsh environment and strive to enrich themselves. After all, life is a victory or defeat. Only in a serious life can we be tempered, strengthen our personality, increase our knowledge and talents. A thinker once said: a shallow coat of knowledge is no different from an ape who wants to stand up with rubbish. Don't decorate yourself with cheap "upbringing" bought from the outside, but cultivate the real upbringing that shines under the skin from the inside of life.
Caution is the achilles heel of young people. Young man, you should be a performer in any life theater. In a word, in youth, for our brilliant future, we should dare to fight in mud and sweat and cultivate indomitable spirit and backbone. As long as there is this spirit, with the growth of age and the test of social storms, concrete results will certainly emerge unconsciously.
Youth is the wave of the times. It is a natural law that people get older gradually. On the whole, this phenomenon is generational alternation. Teenagers will become young and young people will become mature, just like the huge waves of the sea, no force can stop them, just like the rotation of the earth, which will never stop. Young people are bound to break the bamboo and enter the next era. There is revolution, real innovation and vigorous vitality here.
It is by no means alarmist to say that the rise and fall of a country depends on the young people who shoulder the future. What kind of leaders trained these young people and how did they grow up? What kind of outlook on life and world has been established? What style? These are the road signs of a country tomorrow.
No matter what era, no matter where in the world, the pioneers of the revolution will always be young people, especially students, or young people of the same age as the students studying at school now. What does this mean? It shows that students have the tradition and spirit ahead of the times. They have uncompromising criticism, ideals and passion to advance towards ideals, and have great power to destroy established authority and established system. When they believe in a certain idea, they would rather die than surrender and devote themselves to their careers and ideals. This is a characteristic of young people, especially students. When the will of these young people and students is unified for a common goal, it will become a surging wave, which can change society and history. Once this surging wave forms an avalanche, no one can stop it and no one can change it. Moreover, when this turbulent wave is getting more and more turbulent, all people will join this torrent and move in one direction. Youth is the symbol of continuous construction and innovation, that is, tenacity and purity, which contains the infinite possibilities of young life.
No matter when and where, it is as bright as the bright sun, as open-minded as a young eagle soaring in the sky, as all-encompassing as the sea, and once it is needed, it will resolutely rise up and fight evil like a gale-this is youth.
Youth is the era of laying the foundation. If you change your mind or become lazy before the foundation is laid, you will never build a house. During the period, I always feel that accepting the guidance of others is not as good as my own pleasure. However, if you think that youth is only freedom and relaxation, then you are like a broken kite, and you will eventually suffer. Passion and self-motivation are very important for the growth of young people themselves.
A politician once said, "If you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer your own sorrow." Buddhism is a lifelong duel with the self-devil. There is a saying in Germany that calm water and barking dogs are the most terrible. Young people should be as deep as unfathomable still water and as calm as dogs that don't bark easily, which are different from wild dogs. Although it is slow and steady, once it rises, it will burst into immeasurable power.
From the characteristics of young people, young people should also be ambitious. Without ideals, youth is meaningless. But it is not enough to have ideals, but also to have full preparation and unremitting efforts. This principle applies at any time in life, whether on the job or after work.
Failure is failure, and young people should have the courage to admit failure frankly. This is aboveboard. It's despicable if you don't admit your failure and shift the blame to others. We should not only bravely admit failure, but also calmly and seriously analyze the reasons for failure, so as to lay the foundation for future success. Nature, the world and the universe never stop. When you stop moving forward, you start to go backwards in life. Constantly exploring life, constantly creating, and constantly advancing are the signs of real survival, which is the privilege of youth.
Young people are extremely disgusted with the hypocrisy and imagination that pervades society. Many things have only abstract concepts and no actual content. The so-called thought has also lost its luster, and it is doubtful how much life power it can draw from it. What young people pursue is not a virtual image, but a real image, not an empty concept, but a real feeling. In particular, we should understand that young people have lost their goals, their sense of accomplishment, their burning passion and their frustration.
I love young people and have talked to many young people before. As a result, I found that the fundamental problem is that there is no leader who is willing to live and advance with young people. I think it is necessary to reform the social system so that young people have more possibilities for further development. The current social system is not so much for young people as for adults, and it protects the interests of the existing system. It is no exaggeration to say that adults force young people to follow the life path they designed for young people. Young people can't stand this. We have the responsibility to build a society that respects young people and gives full play to their potential. Even if such a society cannot be established immediately, it will certainly be inherited by later generations.
There are several seasons in life. There is a winter that must be endured, and there is also a spring that thrives like a small tree in the bright sunshine. Especially young people around the age of 20, full of knowledge and nutrients, will emerge in a blink of an eye. Youth is flower of life, the sparkle of young life and the crystallization of innocence. Riptide-like enthusiasm, dreamy vision, unyielding firmness-youth is full of charm, dazzling and unlimited future. The blooming flowers of youth will pave the way for your life. Youth is the most precious. You should cherish this precious time, don't waste it and don't go astray.
They must be given hopes and dreams commensurate with their youth. Leaders must pour all their wisdom, so as to do their best for their future construction. In the field where young people have completely mastered the leading role, we should not hesitate to give them the torch.
Go to the future. There must be hope there. Unlimited possibilities are hidden in you. Live happily, for your youth and for the young friends around you. It must be full of joy. Courage up and live tenaciously. There, the road will naturally appear before your eyes.
We live in vanity, but don't be blinded by vanity. Living a real life honestly is the most precious and strong. On the basis of this understanding, take a solid youth step.
Youth is the era when life lays the foundation. If the foundation is not firm, everything built on it will collapse. Realizing that this is the era to lay the foundation for blooming gorgeous flowers in the future, then studying, working and everything is very meaningful.
He who is afraid of failure will accomplish nothing. In the past, all celebrities have experienced failures again and again. But when they failed, they didn't feel discouraged, but fought tirelessly and finally won. The real failure of youth is that you would rather avoid hard work, have no goal, and be cowardly and down. Failure after hard struggle is a valuable asset in life. I hope you don't be afraid of failure and spend your youth bravely and strongly.
