There is a beautiful picture: a boat, an old man, a vast sea.
A ship that has traveled through the end of the world, sailing into the unknown sea. On the bow of the ship hangs a flag that is still very colorful, even though it has been eroded by the wind and rain. On the flag, dancing like a dragon general four words shining - never say die. This is Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" brought me the shock.
The Old Man and the Sea describes the old Cuban fisherman who, for eighty-four consecutive days, failed to catch a single fish, and resolutely decided to sail deeper into the sea, fishing, and alone. There was not that little boy, those eyes, ah, as blue as the sea, were pleasant and undismayed. The little boy was so vibrant, so sunny, so innocent. The little boy brought back the old man's youth and found himself for him.
An old man was sailing in the ocean, and the old man's persistence allowed him to catch a big marlin that was two feet longer than the fishing boat and more than a thousand pounds. The old fisherman fought the marlin for three full days and nights at sea. During these three days and nights the old man gave himself much encouragement and comfort. A sentence "I will accompany you to death" mixed in the roar of the sea, echoing in my ears; a sentence "I wish the child was here" and let a person feel that the old man alone with the enemy to fight to the death, can not be considered heroic?
Three days, seventy-two hours, the old man how tenacious will, but also in that noble confidence, the old man finally killed the marlin. ( Kunshan City Zhangpu Town Jia Limei - Jia Limei Literature www.sz-yaxin.com )
And in the return journey and repeatedly attacked by sharks. In the vast expanse of the sea, the old man beat his life up to fight the sharks. Despite the fact that the marlin's flesh was taken away by the sharks again and again, he fought back with everything he had. Whether it was a harpoon, a knife, a short stick or a rope, it was enough for the old man to wrestle. I admire the courage of the man who "knew he could not do it," and it shook my heart.
Beethoven once said, "I can be destroyed, but I can not be conquered." Yes, human nature is powerful, and human beings themselves have their own limits, but it is because of people like the old fisherman who time and again challenge the limits and surpass them.
The old man returned to the harbor with empty hands, a lucky "triumph" -- only the head and tail of the fish and a spine. But the old man is the true victor. He was a tiny, tiny man for the sea, but a great man for humanity. The old man won the war without smoke, he defeated not only the big marlin, the big sharks, but the ups and downs of life. This old man was able to meet the challenge with a tenacious and confident heart, what can we as young people say? Then why should we feel sorry for ourselves because our grades are unsatisfactory, give up on ourselves because we haven't found a job, and degrade ourselves because we are not appreciated? Then we should give shame. For these we should be brave and cross over from these difficulties! Go beyond the limits! Doing our best is not enough!
The endless pursuit of human life is long and difficult. For the difficulties of life, we should be like the old man: never say die! Constantly challenge. Miracles will always arise, because God always favors those who dare to struggle. Unnecessary transcendence, positive struggle.
The old man brought back a long, thick, white spine with a huge tail at one end, which rose and fell and swayed with the tide as the east wind continued to make big waves outside the harbor. The boy believed that the old man had caught a big fish, and so it was. In the old man's shack on the other side of the main road he fell asleep again. He still lay face down, and the boy sat beside him, keeping watch. The old man was dreaming of lions. The lion, the king of all beasts, the old man was just like the lion on the beach in his dream, with his vigor and the youth that the child had helped to bring to him. The old fisherman's greatest victor.
Close the book, close your eyes, the mind feels light, the soul has a kind of sublimation, a vast and magnificent picture in your mind, there is only a boat in heaven and earth, an old man, a vast sea ......

Part 2: In the face of setbacks, never say die
The road of life is long, not always smooth sailing, in which there will be countless setbacks, difficulties in the way we. And we must not retreat at this time, to rise to the challenge, never give up, when we do these we will certainly succeed.
The great inventor Thomas Edison is known to everyone. His life has nearly two thousand inventions, each product is experienced countless times of experimentation. Edison's life experiments encountered countless failures, but he never because of failure and lost confidence to continue experiments, has been in the fight against the difficulties. ( Kunshan Zhangpu Town Jialimei - Jialimei Literature www.sz-yaxin.com )
"Edison, the Messenger of Invention" introduces Edison's experience of inventing the electric light. Edison used 1600 kinds of materials to make the heat-resistant material in the electric light bulb, but none of them was ideal. The news of the constant failure of the experiment was disclosed, and the outside world's accusations poured down on Edison like a downpour. Edison resisted the pressure of public opinion, and continued to do experiments, the bulb's "life expectancy" also began to increase - 100 hours, 125 hours, 170 hours ...... Edison used about 6,000 kinds of plant fibers to do experiments, and finally reached the requirements of good quality and low price.
When we encounter setbacks on the road of life, we can not be pessimistic and disappointment, we must understand that "failure is the mother of success", to have a strong will, to have the courage to overcome the setbacks, perseverance, believe that they will eventually succeed, you will be able to become free to soar in the blue sky of the eagle!

Part 3: Never say never--read "Bronze Sunflower" feeling
"Bronze shouted again: 'Sunflower! --flower!' At that time the sun was pouring down on the endless sunflower fields, thousands of sunflower plants, the disk is big and round, is brushing towards the wheel of the golden celestial body that is rolling in the air ...... "I read "Bronze Sunflower" written by Cao Wenxuan with tears in my eyes. As the title of the book suggests, it is about a boy and a girl. The boy's name is Bronze and the girl's name is Sunflower.
Sunflower is a city girl who came to the countryside with her father. They are going to build a house, clear land for farming and dig a pond for fish. But Sunflower's dad died unexpectedly, and the poor girl was devastated. But God is not heartless, after the suffering, Sunflower was adopted by Bronze's family, and Bronze became her brother and sister as friends. It seems that the world is full of love everywhere, although sadness and pain is inevitable, but people's love is everywhere.
But God seemed to be playing a trick on them. When Sunflower was twelve years old, fate brought her back to the city where she used to live. Since then, the bronze often look away from the end of the reed field, looking away from the place where the sunflower is ...... on the thoughts of sunflower, so that a bronze who can not speak opened his mouth and shouted out the name of sunflower. I think, being in the distance sunflower must feel the bronze to her thoughts.
In this book, each character is depicted by Cao Wenxuan vividly, there is a kind and simple bronze, there is a lovely handsome sunflower, there is also a kind and lovely grandmother ...... so a picture full of love, touching and heartfelt picture unfolded in front of my eyes: when the sunflower's only relative, dad unfortunately fell into the water and left the world, sunflower but declined the village's richest Ga fish family to foster her good intentions, and then into the poor bronze family. From then on, Bronze and his grandmother don't let her be afraid, no matter the wind, rain, snow, or March locust plague, they try their best to make Sunflower well-fed and well-clothed. In order to sunflower go to school, bronze gave up his own wish; in order to sunflower photo, bronze in the cold winter to sell rutabaga shoes; in order to sunflower do homework at night, bronze caught fireflies to do ten pumpkin lamps, he went all out to do his brother's duty, no matter looking for sunflower to put his feet pricked, or give her to do ice necklaces blowing small holes blowing the cheeks straight numb ... ... even take her to the circus to fight for position by a few children were bullied, he did his part to Sunflower.
Sunflower is also an innocent, understanding, good girl. In order to save money for their poor families, the school organized photo activities she did not participate; in order to be able to weave more reed shoes to sell, every day after school and brother together to pick reeds; in order to make money, save money to grandma to see a doctor, their own one person sneak run to the south of Jiangnan to pick up the ginkgo, the test intentionally test poorly ......
"Every age has its own pain, and pain is by no means unique to today's teenagers. When you are a teenager, you have a poise toward pain, and you may be a strong person when you grow up." I think the book "The Bronze Sunflower" is not only about affection, but more education that we should dare to face reality, dare to face the pain, and do not bow to the difficulties!

Title 4: Never Say Die--Reading The Old Man and the Sea
Recently, I got a good book from the bookstore. The title of the book is The Old Man and the Sea. It tells a story about an old man who fished alone for many years. Once he fell into a big fish, but on his way back he met a school of sharks. In order to keep the big fish, the old man tried his best to fight with the sharks, but unfortunately he was not successful. The sharks ate all the meat they could. As a result, the old man dragged back only a big fish skeleton. Hemingway succeeded in showing us an old man who never gives up.
Although the old man did not get a whole fish, he got more in the process of fishing. I also feel y sorry for this, but at the same time, I am also impressed by the old man's never-say-die spirit. In the face of swarms of sharks, the old man did not retreat, did not fear, but bravely defended their own a little "territory" in fact, he could have left the fish, peacefully away, but he did not. Or that at the beginning, the old man can give up to catch the fish. In the course of fishing, the old man had many times almost lost his life, but he didn't give up. This kind of never-say-die spirit is so rare and precious.

Part 5: Never say defeat
"Defeat" is a terrible word that some people will go backward when they hear it because no one is willing to taste it because it is very bitter. Bitter in the mouth, pain in the heart. Every time you taste, strong people, maybe feel a little pain, weak people will shed tears, straight to the bottom of the heart, that is, bitter to the bottom. That kind of pain is hard to resist
"Failure" and how simple it is? A person to go from failure to success, in the long journey, to climb over how many times the mountain, across how many "Nile", down how many times the abyss, so that you are bruised. To beg the blessing of God, let you "live". Continue to take difficult and heavy footsteps, and how many times you have to walk through the desert and plateau without water and oxygen. However, how easy is it to go from success to failure? All you have to do is to take the "slide" down from the peak. In the process, you may be free, you may be happy. You may be free, you may be happy. You may see a lot of beautiful scenery while you are descending, but do you ever know that they are the successes that have accompanied you, laughed with you, and cried with you? When you get to the bottom of the mountain, maybe you won't look up to see where you were before, and you can move forward boldly. But if you look up, you will be shocked to realize and recall the former, in order to climb up all the hardship and frustration, but also remember in order to climb up the tears, and hardship. And you are now giving up that position. I believe that you will regret that you came down. But often in life, there is no turning back when you choose. When you regret, everything is too late. You have to climb up again step by step, this is you may give up, because you are afraid to go back to the previous tough .
At this point you will go forward at the bottom, the more you go, the easier it is, the happier you are, perhaps thinking that it is more pleasant at the bottom than at the top, and so you go faster and fall deeper. At the end of that there is always a heavy blow that wakes you up. It's at that point that you feel the pain of defeat, all the way down to the bottom of your heart, and you have to bear it alone.
So we have to have a never-say-die spirit, do not give up in the face of setbacks, and do not think of the difficult far away, but to look behind the long road traveled. It doors will give you confidence to keep going forward and continue to walk towards success in the distance.

I am an unabashed tennis fan. When people ask me why I like tennis so much, before, I would say it's because of the strong power and versatile techniques, but now, I would say the main reason is the never-say-die spirit.
What changed me was the Nadal vs. Blake match at the 2009 Northern Open.
The tension was high at the start of the match, as no one knew what kind of match the two men would play on this particular court - where Nadal, the world number one, had lost to Blake. How could Nadal let that go? It's a matchup of powerhouses, and with that in mind, I watched on.
The match was exceptionally exciting, thrilling and nail-biting. Both sides came out with their best shots at the start and fought each other to a standstill. I think they were fighting not only for the big prize, but also for the larger-than-life honor.
In this battle of honor, the most touching thing for me was the second set. At this point, Blake had already taken an absolute 6-2 lead, and I guess Nadal was bound to lose this set because he was going to face the full power serve of Blake, a power player. Look! The ball was sent out, like the wind and lightning so that people could not catch the trail. Only to see Nadal hands hold racket, with full force hit a return, Blake first ate a shock, and then with the ball to Nadal to run all over the court. I was impressed by Nadal's perseverance: he chased every ball like a hungry wolf seeing its prey. Nadal won this set 2-1. He defended the dignity of the world No. 1 and shook me at the same time.
Why did Nadal win?
I analyzed after the match that his strength is one aspect, and the other reason is that he always faces his opponents with a calm and firm heart. Whether it's former world No. 1 Federer or Blake, who beat him, he fights with a never-say-die heart.
That's right, never say die is a quality that a good athlete must have. Not just on the field of play, but on the path of life as well. When one fails, the only thing one has to do is to fight back again and again, and that's never say die. Jordan's "big deal, start over" is also never say die. Only by never giving up can a person rise in adversity, stand up in the storm, and create their own better tomorrow.

After reading "The Old Man and the Sea" this small said, I was the main character Santiago's never say die, perseverance spirit said shock, from his body I understand, people, in trouble to never say die.
This article wrote the old fisherman Santiago in the 85th day out to sea to catch the big marlin, but unexpectedly attracted the sharks, he only had to fight with the sharks, he fought with the sharks every time to pay a terrible price, but he persistently adhere to his ideas until the return to the harbor of the story.
The story of persistence does not get old: Edison in the test after test, again and again in the failure, only to find out the invention of the creation of the electric light of the gold wire; Beethoven's name is as thunderous as the ears, he was deaf and blind, never say die, and fate against, and finally to create a lot of outstanding works of art ......
The spirit of perseverance is immortal: perseverance, never say die, perseverance ...... "A person is not born to be defeated, you can destroy it, but just can not defeat him." Yes, you "beat" him, but he's still alive, because his body is still alive, and you can't beat him spiritually. When Santiago fought with the sharks, he knew that he was not strong enough, but he still had to fight with the sharks, and he never gave up, even if he fought to the last breath of his life, it was worth it, and he was willing to do it. Because he never gave up, he persevered. In our life, also can be seen, such as: in doing difficult problems, no matter how profound the topic, you have to do your best to think, although, the final answer is not the same, it is also counted as you try your best, in the spirit, you have won.

Hundreds of gold to buy steeds, thousands of gold to buy beauty; ten thousand gold to buy a high knight, where to buy youth?

Youth is the most wonderful part of life, a young boy and girl full of vitality with unlimited thoughts about the future, in order to a beautiful dream and never say die.
With the growth of the school age, a strand of great pressure from different places on our tender shoulders, the pressure we can not breathe, a beautiful dream is suppressed in the depths of the mind to care about ......
Looking up at the moon, a scene from the past is displayed in front of us:
Students The students are sitting in their seats, in front of the language teacher gloomy face, mouth is in the "promulgation" of the students since the beginning of the school year "excellent" results.
The classroom was quiet, only the teacher's voice. The students who got the exam papers are buried; the students who haven't got the exam papers are in fear of their lives, and the faint sound of choking can be heard faintly.
Ah, it's my turn, 79 points! This was like a bolt from the blue, striking at my heart; tears welled up, my eyes were hazy, tears lingered in my eyes, I tried my best to hold back the tears from flowing down in front of the crowd, because I had just announced in front of the crowd that 'I'm going to be a great scholar in the future, and I'm going to write a great masterpiece that no one has ever written before!' God can you really be so heartless? I just told the crowd about my dream and you're going to immediately destroy my little spark?
"Ring! Ring!" The bell rang for the end of class, I got up and just wanted to go out when the teacher called me to the office with an order. Gosh, it looks like there's no way to avoid it, eh, let's just listen to God. I said secretly in my mind.
"Report!" I shouted, and when I went in, the teacher was straight to the point "Recently your grades have dropped drastically ah, what are you doing ah! Just took the test so little ah! Look, see how many places you've dropped back." The teacher said aggressively and flung me a ranking sheet. I lowered my head and bit my lip, looking at it silently. "See? What was number one last time, and this time?" The teacher said sternly. "11th last time, this time... 26th this time..." I replied, loosening the lip I had been biting and forcing back tears. The teacher eased her tone and patiently told me, "Your foundation is good, and your writing is okay, but how much of the basics did you get wrong? Nearly half of the points deducted, I think." I stood speechless in contrast, with my head down. "You look at your results in various subjects, see, the science test is very good, but you must understand one thing: science alone and others than there is no advantage," the teacher looked at me again and said "If you want to take a better high school to take the two subjects is not enough, the language of the midterm examination has 120 points, English is still 100 points, social thinking 80 points, adding up to 330 points, science science 150 points math 120 points, a **** only 270 points, so partiality is not. Go back." "Oh." I walked slowly with my head down. Just as I entered the classroom, a few of my classmates said sarcastically with mean words, "Yo, our great scholar is back!" A wave of anger rushed through me, and I had a real urge to rush up to them, but then I thought, "At least they 'recognize' me." I changed my face to a cold one and said, "It's just a mistake this time, but it's better than you anyway, right? "You!" Watching the other party speechless, my heart changed to a trace of joy, and at the same time, I made up my mind: I will prove to you that what I say is not just empty words!
A little more than a month later, we ushered in the second monthly examination, and sure enough, after my long and serious study, the results have made great progress, but also in exchange for the teacher's encouragement and the affirmation of classmates.
It is the self-confidence for me to build up a life platform, make me brave to correspond to the study, and make me can enjoy the fun of victory with ease. I firmly believe that there is self-confidence in order to have achievements, have achievements will be more confident. If failure is the mother of success, then self-confidence is the foundation of success. The sky is not all blue, the clouds are not all white, but the style of self-confidence is an eternal beam of brilliant constant light, this beam of light will always illuminate our path to the goal, so that we are no longer confused!
Youth needs self-confidence, youth never say die, so the youth will be more beautiful.

This is the first radio gymnastics competition in our school, and we are all extremely excited to compete for our class and leave a bright spot in our school's history.
We also wanted to compete and live up to our teacher's expectations of us. But since our class was the first to go on the field, there was some pressure in everyone's mind. As a result, we made a fool of ourselves: our slogan was 'Let go of your dreams, set sail', but one of our students was nervous or forgot his words, and as soon as he was about to read the slogan, it became 'Set sail, let go of your dreams', a mistake that cost our class a lot of points. We thought we would not lose any more points later on. However, the students were too nervous and made mistakes one after another. The result was that not only did our class fail to finish in the top six of the school, but we also failed to finish first in our grade.
This result immediately gave all the teachers and students of our class a head start, many students have red eyes, heavy head down, they are in self-blame, they are in regret. Moreover, our PE teacher was crying, every teardrop contained sadness and disappointment. But, no matter how lost everyone was, it could never change this cruel reality - we failed!
But, we first hung our heads together, and then we welcomed a big smile. Because, we know: fell to a time is not terrible, afraid of falling down still can not get up, a person is not the most important victory, but self-confidence, with self-confidence life is a victory. If you give up because of a small setback, the future journey will be a failure, will be no glory. Self-confidence is the general who always wins, is the magic weapon to win. So, the bright smile came back to our faces, and everyone was as happy as ever.
Confidence is the root of our success, so, at that moment, we never say defeat.

Part 13: Never say die
I am a girl who loves to read, after reading a lot of magical fairy tales, popular and lively children's literature, began to read some serious works. During the vacation, I read The Old Man and the Sea. I was y impressed by the charming Atlantic Ocean, the noble and witty marlin, the greedy and ferocious sharks, and especially the never-say-die, resilient old man Santiago in the book.
The book is mainly about: Santiago, the old Cuban fisherman, finally caught a very large marlin after weeks of bitter, frustrating nothing. After three days and nights of epic struggle, he is nearly exhausted, but finally rejoices at having defeated such a great foe. But as he was dragging the marlin back to land in a small boat, the vicious and greedy sharks tore up all the fish. Santiago returned with only a bare fish skeleton - a reminder of his glorious victory. My favorite part of the story is the old man's heartfelt confession after the first shark had bitten away about forty pounds of fish, "A man can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated." Indeed, you have to rise to the occasion in everything you do, and how can you see the rainbow if you don't go through the storm?
In the ordinary life, in the bumpy journey of life, we will encounter many setbacks, but we can not retreat. We have to face the wind and rain, chest up and walk forward. There are many people in life, can not withstand the trials and tribulations, always helplessly bow to fate, which is a kind of cowardly performance. I often read in the newspaper that some students did not do well in the exams, they ran away from home, and even went to jump off a building to commit suicide. There are also some students who do not study well, they think they are stupid, can not learn anything, they give up on themselves, do not listen carefully in class, homework is not done. And what about the old man Santiago? After he caught the big marlin, knowing that the other side is stronger than him, or determined to fight to the end. When the shark came to attack again and again, he used all his personal means to fight back. When his harpoon was taken by the shark, he stabbed at it with a knife tied to the handle of his oar. When the knife broke, he used a short stick. When the stick was lost, he used the tiller to fight. Although the result of the fish were bitten away by the shark, but nothing can destroy his never-say-die heroic will. How heroic he was! Compared with the old man Santiago, what are the difficulties we encountered? Don't we feel ashamed?
It seems to me that in the darkness of the sea, the lights of Havana are hidden, and the old man is alone, fighting with a few sharks.
