Running on the road of dreams is both exciting and happy! ――Inscription
It is snowing heavily today and the weather is suddenly cold.
Getting up in the morning is simply a contest between yourself and yourself. The last thing I want to hear is the alarm clock, and the last thing I want to do is get up. But what needs to be done must be done, get up, pack everything, and set off.
After leaving the community, the fog filled the air. Fortunately, I can still see clearly ahead. Be careful all the way to the school. Students have swarmed the class and run to the playground.
Walking quickly to the gathering place of our class, these students have arrived as before and are still reciting: Jia Yiqing? Tan Yu, Qiao Xue Yuqing? Li Jiayue, Wang Siyuan, Wei Jingyu, Cui Yinoo, Zhang Haoyue? Zhang Yuwei Sun Xiangze, Shen Jinjiang, Zhai Runan, Li Yizi? Wang Yijing? Shao Ziying. Within a few minutes, everyone was almost there.
I admire these children for being so persistent. Maybe they also have the pain of getting up, but in order to get a few minutes earlier and to be able to persist in doing this thing, what does the pain of getting up mean? Reciting loudly and passionately under the light of the cold and empty playground, this kind of persistent tenacity should be the youth burning with passion! With struggle supported by will and passion, the ideal must be full!
You who are in the third year of junior high school feel more and more the importance of diligence and hard work, the preciousness of time, and the firmness of ideals. Nothing can stop you from struggling.
During the morning training, Li Yixi, the squad leader on duty, shared a very philosophical statement:
Life is like archery, dreams are like targets, hard work and struggle are the sharp arrows. What’s the point of drawing the bow every day if we can’t even find the arrow? All success in the world is not based on dreams and hopes alone, but requires hard work and struggle to achieve your dreams.
Ideal is the direction, the fulcrum, and the driving force. Who has any reason to stop?
Have meals with the children in the morning. When they saw me coming with a plate, they became enthusiastic. Give up your seat quickly.
Sunshine and confidence hang on your face. Happiness and warmth are conveyed to each other at this moment.
When I was on duty in the past, I rarely had meals with me. Unexpectedly, eating with students is such a simple and happy thing.
Some people think that reading is a painful thing. Do you feel it’s hard to see these children going into the classroom to read after lunch break and working so hard? Turn suffering into joy and try to do things you don’t want to do. As long as you are in the right direction and have faith, your ideal will definitely come true! Efforts will not be in vain, every bit of effort will be presented at some point in the future.
Remember the saying: "Choose what is good and stick to it." What does it mean? That is, when you encounter problems and tests, you cannot let the villain in your heart interfere with you. You must insist on choosing the path that you may not want to choose, but it is indeed the right path.
Don’t worry that reality will be farther away than your dreams, and don’t care about the harvest as it is better to give in abundance. Your attitude towards the present determines your future height.
Children, come on! You are not alone on the road of struggle! There is you, there is me, there is everyone; there is suffering, there is joy, there is happiness, and we are together!
