The heart is there, the dream is there

"The heart is there, the dream is there"

/01/

The heart is there, the dream is there; happiness is actually where you turn around.

There's a story: In a war, both Mike and Reese lost an arm. When the war was over and he returned home, Mike would say to his friends, "Thank God for your blessing, I still have an arm, and with this arm, I can do anything." "Then straighten your waist and live optimistically and positively." Rhys, on the other hand, said to others, "Well, I don't have an arm, how should I live?" "Since then, I have completely fallen into the trough of my life, depressed, and unable to extricate myself."

In the face of the same encounters in life, Mike is optimistic, Reese is pessimistic, Mike chooses to live like ordinary people, but Reese always lives in the shadow of losing an arm. Mike lost an arm, but he never lost his heart, a positive heart, an optimistic heart, an enterprising heart. Reese, no longer positive, no longer optimistic, no longer enterprising, not only lost his arm, but also lost his heart. Their lives will draw different trajectories, Mike has vitality and will live a wonderful life, and Rhys, who has no vitality, will eventually live a bleak life. Happiness is far away, but Mike is still happy.

In the face of brutal war, bloodshed is inevitable, and even worse, it will lose its life in the smoke of war and turn into smoke. Turning around, comparing the comrades who gave their lives for the war, Mike and Reese should both think that it would be good to come back alive. In the future life, although it will bring many difficulties due to the loss of one arm, there is life, there is another arm, there is an optimistic and positive heart, and a new wonderful chapter in life will be created. Mike recognized this and was able to laugh at the misfortune of luck.

Rhys, on the other hand, was miserable, not only losing his arm, but also losing the sense of happiness that should be compared to those comrades who had lost their lives, and losing his optimism and positive spirit. The heart is lost, and life is of little significance to Reese. What Reese values is only the arm, not life itself. He was wrong.

There is no smooth life. The circumstances of life are different, but the positive optimism and enterprising of the heart are indispensable. Suddenly, I thought of the text "The Monk of Shu" that I read when I was studying in my early years: The two monks of Shu, rich and poor, want to go to the South China Sea, the poor, with a bottle and a bowl, "the next year, from the South China Sea", the rich, but "for several years want to buy a boat down, but still failed to do it."

In a plain life, we do not talk about the lofty topic of aspirations, just to say that the pursuit of simple happiness in life, the poor monk must have experienced a lot of hardships between his comings and goings, but his heart is far away, not under his feet, he can overcome all difficulties and complete his wishes. The rich monk, on the other hand, valued hardships and knew only planning, but did not see action. I think what is more important is that the poor monks have a positive and optimistic and enterprising heart, but the rich monks do not. Going to the South China Sea is also a pursuit of happiness. The rich monk's heart was defeated first, and he fell into a "desire for several years", which is sad.

In the near future, on the road of my life, there are many stories of my classmates that are difficult to forget. I remember going to primary school, there were two friends who were very stubborn, dropped out of school early at home, and now goodbye, unexpectedly a heroic, is already the director of the village committee, a lewd and embarrassed, unemployed wandering in society; when I was in junior high school, there were friends and parents who taught, and he doted on him, but he was greedy and aggressive, and finally he hastily chose a technical school to study, and finally came back to be an idle person who guarded the door to the enterprise vigil, and there were friends and parents who were not there, only according to relatives' support, graduated early from the normal college, walked on the three-foot podium, and now have a family, a house and a car, and a happy life.

For the irreversible opportunities in life, we cannot avoid it, because avoidance will not help. Since we can't avoid it, we must learn to turn around and make more efforts with a positive and optimistic spirit. If you work hard, people will live happily. Whether it is reading the story of Mike and Ruisi, or remembering the second monk of Shu, or even thinking about the life course of those classmates, I think that when we live, we must be positive and optimistic, and only when we are positive and optimistic will we live a wonderful life and achieve happiness.

The heart is there, the dream is there, the happiness is there; the heart is not there, the dream is extinguished, and life will be a dark night! For happiness, you and my heart should be full of vitality!
