Respectful teachers, students here, how are you:
It is a pleasure to be in this beautiful spring with all of you *** with the spirit of exchanges, it is the book "How steel is made" in the main character of the book Paul. Kochakin's defiance of difficulties, the pursuit of ideals and justice and the courage to dedicate oneself to the spirit. Paul's spirit in my pursuit of ideals on the road once inspired me, more determined to strive for my ideals and determination.
Before I tell the body I want to declare: I am not a talent, nor a nerd; I am not a "scholar", nor a "showman". I'm not smart, if compared with all the students here I'm still stupid. But I am sure that there is no such thing as a smart person and a stupid person in the world. My three favorite words are: ideal, hard work and seriousness. My favorite phrase: Every day is a new beginning. These are the things that the book "How Steel is Made" makes me know. One: ideal
The ancients said: young people's ambition when taking the clouds. Only the young have the ambition of the clouds, the strong years can be something, the old age can be something. There is a saying: height determines vision, how far the ideal, how big the action.
Then I read a short story: two men were doing labor on a construction site. A wise man came and saw one of them working with great interest. The wise man asked him:What are you doing? He replied: I am building a magnificent church. Then the wise man asked another man, who replied, I am laying bricks. Later, the one who said he was building a cathedral became an engineer. And the other one - the one laying bricks - was always just a mason. This story inspires me: ambition in the heart determines behavior.
After I got to middle school, my teacher asked me: What is your ambition? I answered: software engineer. After answering this question, I found it strange myself, because my ambition changed several times in one year. First I wanted to be a psychologist, then I wanted to be a government official, but in the end I changed them for various reasons. I have come to the conclusion that one must think carefully when determining one's own ideals, and that ideals set up on impulse with only a little enthusiasm will not stand up well.
After that, I re-examined my outlook on life and values. After a long period of thinking I made the decision: my ideal is to become a more themselves, to others, to society, to the country, to mankind useful people. After reading the book "How Iron is Made", I am even more convinced that my choice is right. What I said is not a big lie: even if what you do is a small and insignificant thing, as long as it has a positive significance, you have accomplished half of the ideal mentioned above. But there is still half that remains to be accomplished, and that requires more effort and diligence on our part. Therefore this ideal is extremely easy to realize and not easy to achieve, it is suitable for all people. In setting up the ideal combine it with the good, and no matter how we change, our ultimate goal is to create the good.
Two: Struggle for all-round development
Establishing an ideal requires constant struggle for it. We need to practice a few more skills and open up a few more paths to success. In other words, we have to develop comprehensively.
I have been actively participating in all school activities since I was in junior high school, such as speech contests, essay contests, Putonghua contests, handwriting contests, group knowledge contests, arts and sports activities, etc. My classmates said this to me. My classmates said to me: to participate in these activities will distract you from your studies, but I think: a wide range of useful activities for their own ability to cultivate all aspects of the benefits.
Next, I'd like to tell you a story about myself: I scored 723 points on my first midterm exam since entering middle school, which is still fresh in my mind. But the thing that sticks in my mind is that after this midterm I was given the nickname "Xiu Cai". There's some truth to it, and I realize that most people say it in a joking, friendly way. But here's what I think: I'd rather not have the 723 points than be a Xiu Cai. Because the meaning of "Xiu Cai" is a nerd who is not diligent in all four limbs and does not distinguish between five grains. The twenty-first world needs innovative talents, not showmen. We should not only study hard but also in the moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor these five aspects have a certain ability. People who know me know my living arrangements: I am bound to do physical exercise outdoors in physical education class, playing soccer and volleyball; I run 5 to 6 laps on the playground every morning when the conditions permit; I read the news every week to learn about the world situation and China's development, which I have been doing all along; and I take part in all sorts of activities when the situation permits.
I have a belief: study hard to be a knowledgeable person; have a wide range of interests to be a multi-talented person; and cultivate good virtues to be a useful person. I have read a story about a wage earner who was promoted to assistant general manager. Because in a cleaning activity he broke the boss's expensive fish tank. At this time, the boss was on a business trip, he could have quit his job and escaped, but he quietly bought a new one to pay for it. The boss later promoted him to assistant. What does the boss see in him? Honesty and reliability. This story also educates me: a person's character is very important to a successful career. Therefore, I pay attention to this point, try to cultivate my own good character, be good to people, make good friends, and try to help others. In the future, I will be a useful person who is both virtuous and talented!
Three: seriously
Light with the ideal not to strive to pursue that is a pipe dream, to turn the ideal into reality should be taken seriously, hard work!
Before I said: I am not smart. I think I can only achieve a little bit in some areas because I have a serious attitude towards things. When I read newspaper articles, if I come across new words, I will look up their pronunciation and meaning in the dictionary to find out what they mean. If I read it vaguely, I still can't understand it.
I like to get to the bottom of things when I have doubts. When studying chemistry, there are some chemical experiments that are very demanding and can't be done in school. But I think that rote memorization of experimental phenomena is not good, so in my heart there I always want to see the real experiments of the real process. Luckily, my friend has a computer at home, he invited me to play at his home during the vacation, he played games for entertainment, but I used this opportunity to check a lot of information on the Internet: the network video let me see the real experimental process. In the future, whenever a classmate invites me to his home, I will use this opportunity to look up information and lift the doubts in my mind.
In the work of the class, I have always believed that: for the tasks given by the teacher, all the work of the class must be completed seriously. If to cope with the attitude to do the work, not only failed the teacher and classmates on your expectations, and their own will not be happy. As the head of the duty student group, my group members and I practiced a principle: efficiency, quality. The hygiene of the class is related to the image of the class, I must do my duty. As a class leader, I think of it this way: all aspects should be managed, and all points should be good. I will actively organize class meetings, labor, and activities and carry them out seriously. Even if I don't need to do it myself, I will always pay attention to it.
In other aspects I also love the attitude of seriousness. Last year, our school held the second art festival, I participated in the rehearsal of five programs, four programs of the performance. At that stage, I was very busy from morning to night. Moreover, there was a period just in time for the midterm exams, and I really wanted to give up. But this idea just flash will be suppressed by me: school leaders and teachers - Principal Wang, Yang Director of the Festival is very concerned; Miao Xiaochun, Xiao Lina two teachers in order to rehearsal of the Festival sometimes can not come to eat, Saturday can not rest, May Day holiday can not be rested, busy props, busy costumes, busy stage .... Compared with the efforts of these people, my negative thoughts are ridiculous. Doing something without concentrating is the worst thing you can do. I was thinking: if I face the performance negatively, not only will the performance not be successful, but my study will also be smashed, and I will accomplish nothing. But if I do everything positively, then no matter what, I've already succeeded in my thoughts. The final fact is: a win-win situation for thoughts and actions.
Everyone is listening to me now, and I believe that if you go to read the book "How Steel is Made" will likewise feel: there is a person who is telling you something. That is: reason, struggle, serious. In the end it will be successful.
Paul said: "life for people only once, a person's life should be spent in this way: when he looks back, not because of wasted years and regret, not because of the shame of doing nothing". It is the wish of each of us to have a good life, so let's start from our student days to set up ambitious ideals, cultivate a variety of interests and abilities, and develop a good habit of doing serious work. I believe that kung fu will not fail you, the heavens will not fail the diligent, and the future of success will definitely belong to you!!!!
Thank you all!
