There is a famous saying in "The Old Man and the Sea": a person is not born to be defeated. You can be destroyed, but you cannot be defeated. This is my favorite sentence, and I have since fallen in love with this literary work. "The Old Man and the Sea" does not have long and gorgeous words. It only uses the simplest language to describe the vast silver-free sea, the looming ridge islands, and the most ordinary protagonist-a weather-beaten but has the most The old man with a determined look. The sunlight that cascades between the clouds, like the fiery pursuit of the old man's heart, is so strong and so bright. The simplest language has produced the most beautiful poems.

The story of "The Old Man and the Sea" is very simple. It is written that the old fisherman Santiago finally caught a big marlin alone without catching fish for 84 consecutive days, but this fish is too big. The boat was dragged out at sea for three days before he was exhausted. He killed the side tied to the boat. It is conceivable how much courage and strong will it takes! But on the way back, he repeatedly encountered shark attacks, so the old man and the shark There was a desperate fight, but only fish head and tail and a spine were left when we finally returned to Hong Kong.

But is his perseverance and self-confidence not worth our study? Although the old fisherman did not drag the complete marlin back to the coast, it failed in the eyes of others, but in fact he succeeded. Waiting on the vast sea is lonely and unbearable. There is no radio next to the poor old man to tell him about excellent baseball games. The world under the water may be bright and colorful, but the people on the ship can only see the water and soil in all directions. But this old man who was at ease, was not overwhelmed by this sense of loneliness. He thought about the birds flying in the sky, the fish swimming in the water, and the flowing ocean. The old man will also talk to the seabirds he accidentally sees. Whether he understands it or   not, he likes to talk to himself. Some people will say that he is like a madman, but the old man does not care about these, he only does what he wants to do, even In the eyes of others, the absurdity is far away. He still scrolls the fishing line. Finally, a very heavy fish was hooked. When he was young, he was strong and strong. The old man who was once called the "champion" was frustrated by it. The left hand was numb by the rope, blood splashed, facing the threat of life, the old man never let go. Having pursued painstakingly and finally caught it now, will this strong old man let go? He has repeatedly said "I hope the child is here", in simple words, I can see that the old man is working with his potential Struggled with loneliness and helplessness, and always refused to admit defeat. The child has become an important part of the old man's spirit. After many twists and turns, the big fish was subdued, but the bloody smell left behind attracted the attack of sharks. The spoils captured by hard work only had an empty skeleton, which became garbage among other populations. The old man has become what we call "tragic hero". In the end, he still fell asleep as always, and in his dream, there still appeared a lion as always, that is the symbol of the king.

From here, I read the intensity of its life and produced an elegant and tough image under heavy pressure. When he was laughed at as a loser by other fishermen, he still persevered. After fighting for three days, he finally killed a large marlin. He was repeatedly attacked by sharks on his return journey, but he did not want to compromise with sharks. Every attempt was made to counterattack and repel the shark. Although there was only a fish head and a spine and a spine left when he returned to Hong Kong, he knew that fate had teased him again, but he had no trace of regret in his heart, because just like his life belief, his spirit had never been defeated. He is proud of everything he can do, and the old fisherman has proved with practical actions that nothing can destroy his heroic will.

As the saying goes: Don’t discuss heroes with success or   failure. His strong will and courageous spirit are not inferior to heroes’ behavior. He will become a giant invincible through hardships and worthy of everyone’s advocacy. In ancient times, Yugong moved mountains. He knew that mountain opening was not easy, nor could it be completed overnight. He "knows that he can't do it" and still insists on leading descendants to open mountains. Finally, the Emperor of Heaven was ordered to move the mountains. There are also "water droplets through stone", "iron pestle into a needle", "freezing three feet" and so on, don't all mean "whoever has lofty ideals, succeeds"

In eighty-four days, the old man didn't have any gains. Some people said that the old man "had fallen blood mold", but the old man's heart was strong, and this bad luck couldn't beat our San Diego. From this perspective, the old man does have perseverance, because of the decades of fishing experience, no matter how many storms and rains are vividly remembered, it is nothing to catch the fish right now, and everyone’s criticism can not help me. When the whole world no longer believes in him, he can still see through and let go, calmly, how many people in the real life can have the mentality of the old man? From the perspective of our college students, when they were six or   seven years old, they entered the school at the same time. In the face of the same knowledge, some people have developed good study and living habits, while some people still have difficulty in breaking away from their parents. The gap is Then pull away. But preschool education does not completely determine all the learning time of a person, and the talent who insists to the end is the winner. It reminds me that when the old man was young, he compared with a black athlete for a whole day and night, but the old man insisted to the end. On the boat, when a person is lonely and lonely, I think of such a good time, give myself courage, give myself comfort, I am not old, nothing can beat me, this is the old man, one who never refuses to lose and can find reasons to make himself happy. Looking back at my college life, a good brother once said to me "I can't find a reason to be happy." Yes, we do not have the experience of the old man, the mentality of the old man, and the belief of the old man. We are only mechanized and doomed to live every day. We cannot even find the reason and trace of our existence in this world. Why is this happening? Because we are not busy enough and full enough, we have not learned to persevere like an old man. The old man’s perseverance is unparalleled. As long as there is a breath of breath, we must fight to the last moment. The harpoon is dead and the shark sinks to the bottom of the sea. Take away the harpoon, without the harpoon, tie the knife to the paddle. When the shark strikes again, the old man's heart is not fear, but a fight. With a desperate fight, even if the knife is broken, the paddle is also broken, As long as there is a wooden stick left in the hand, even if the shark has eaten the big marlin fish, even if the old man's hand has donated blood, but as long as the heart wants to fight, then nothing can stop the old man. Compared with the elderly, what can we do if we have been studying hard for 14 years? Every time the old man goes to the sea, every fight with the fish is a game for the brave, and he is fighting with his life, and we have experienced fourteen years of cold windows, just for the comfort and enjoyment in the university dormitory, Is it mediocre? Maybe some people will feel that there is a lack of challenges in college life, and if the elderly stay on the shore, will there be challenges? Will there be a magnificent life experience? So life is dominated by yourself, you can decide to live a mediocre life, or   you can be full of challenges. A mediocre life is like a calm sea. People who are not willing to be lonely do not like this rhythm. People who are willing to be lonely adapt to this kind of calm, so There is no happiness and comfort in their lives. The old soldiers always look for any opportunity to enrich themselves and challenge themselves. The old man is invincible. What reason do you have to retreat as a young man? What if you don’t go out and find challenges when you are young? So with the increase of age and inertia, what can you do in the future? You have the perseverance of an old man. Do you understand the old man's persistence? The university is free, so there is polarization. Some people are nestled in the bedroom all day and called takeaway. They ask students to help answer and hand in homework. All kinds of online games and virtual all day long; some students will not sleep from morning. By noon, because he knew that when he slept like this, time passed like this, and if he got up early to read books and run, then his mind and his body would be proud and proud of himself one day in the future, because he knew "Why do you need to sleep for a long time when you are born, you must sleep long after death". You can choose to strive for excellence, because excellence is a habit. You can read a book every week, watch a classic inspirational movie, and then join many social organizations, and play an important role in it. You can spend your holidays When you go out to work part-time, you can go out and walk more. You have your gains. Also in September last year, everyone sat in the same classroom with similar results, but when they go to society four years later, everyone’s work may be Differences between the world, like the old man, persevere, you will laugh to the end.

Hemingway used symbolic fables to show us the eternal consciousness of human self-proving across time and space --- the tragic and lofty struggle against destiny.

 

On the road of life, anyone will experience some setbacks and failures. Santiago's enlightenment to us is: Positive progress and action are unrelenting actions in the face of failure. The value and meaning of life lies in the action itself."Old Man and the Sea" is a heroic hymn. The image of the old fisherman Santiago who "remains elegant under the weight" portrayed by the novel: strong, generous, kind, and loving, he is strong, indestructible, and he does not bow down to difficulties, and any doom will not scare him, even Failed in the arena of life, facing the irreversible fate, he is still a spiritually strong man and a "hard man." Despite the failure, it maintained human dignity and courage, and had the victorious demeanor. He regarded fishing not just as a means of earning a living, but as a wrestling life, a yearning, a glory! A fearless heroic spirit is reflected in him!

In real life, encountering difficulties is inevitable. The most important thing is to face it bravely, have the spirit of perseverance, and learn from failure. Looking back at myself, I am impatient every time I encounter a little difficulty, and it is like a deflated ball when I fail. When I saw "the old fisherman thought: here is too close to the coast, maybe there will be bigger fish in the farther place", I can't help but feel: Although the old fisherman has caught some fish, he It is not settled on the status quo, but has more ambitious goals. And what about us? With a little bit of achievement, we are complacent, self-satisfied, and have no goal of struggling. How can this succeed? "Failure is the mother of success." This is the sentence. After 84 failures, the old fisherman At the 85th time, the big fish was caught and the joy of success was tried.

In daily life, we often lose because of the failure of the test and have no confidence in ourselves; maybe we will be sad because of the betrayal of our friends, and we will give up ourselves. In the past, every time I encountered any difficulties, I would complain about unfair fate, or   blame others. But I was ashamed when I watched the old fisherman fight the hard life and enjoy myself. I am only worried about some small things in life and study, but Santiago is fighting with the fate of the fate! In fact, things are impermanent, and everyone will encounter problems of one kind or   another. As the book says, "There is no one thing is easy." The key is to see how we treat these problems. If we are affected by these problems, we will be worried and irritable. That only shows that you are a weak person and can't grasp your life well. But we can really fight the fate like the old fisherman Santiago, do not complain, even if we fail, we are victorious. Because we have sensed the process, learned lessons, gained experience, and experienced life, so that we are strong and wise! However, since I read "The Old Man and the Sea", think about coming to the fisherman and think about yourself again, I feel that what I have encountered is not a problem. Students, who has never failed in life, the most important thing is to stand up bravely after the failure, actively face it, find the root cause of failure, and correct it.

"There are a few strokes in life", we must go all out and challenge with a whole-hearted look, firmly believe that success will not be far away. "People are not born for failure. A person can be destroyed, but not defeated." When we are faced with difficulties and become discouraged, we must persevere. The ancients said: The mountains and rivers are doubtless and the road will be dark. Meet the challenge with confidence. Because I believe that success always belongs to us, life is always an endless pursuit. Its road is long, difficult, and full of ups and downs, but as long as he bravely and tenaciously meets the challenge with a confident heart, he will always be a real winner.

Tribute to the old fisherman!
