Heroes don't ask for provenance

Beijing Winter Olympic ski champion Gu Ailing was born in kochi, the United States, and stepped onto the sleigh at the age of 3, ushering in a gorgeous bloom with long-term persistence. Tokyo Olympic diving champion Quan Hongchan comes from a low-income family in Zhanjiang and jumped at the age of 7
Taiwan, with hard training, has created the glory of the gold medal. The two people have different origins and different families, but they have the same destination, which gives us inspiration to pursue ideals: the key to success is not in objective conditions but in subjective efforts.
Superior conditions should not become our dependence. Gu Ailing was born in Kochi family, and her well-paid parents can easily provide their daughter with abundant food and clothing, and can easily meet their daughter's high expenses; especially her mother is a ski instructor, Gu Ailing's super skills are certainly inseparable from her mother's words and deeds and careful guidance. However, there are many ski instructors in the world, and her children have only heard of Gu Ailing alone, if she covets comfort, her mother's demonstration will be useless; if she is exposed to ten colds, her mother's teaching will have little effect; if she stagnates, the role of the mother cannot be played. It can be seen that the key to its success lies not in the superior conditions and the coach mother, but in her tenacious struggle and continuous transcendence. This is reminiscent of today's increasingly affluent life, many families are very rich, parents' money can make their children have no worries about food and clothing, and parents' assets can let their children enjoy their success. As a result, some young people have developed a psychology of dependence and are intoxicated with comfort; they have lost their enterprising spirit and have no intention of studying; they have lost the direction of life and indulged in pleasure. Such youth, how silent compared with Gu Ailing's passionate burning; such a normality, how dim compared to Gu Ailing's glittering colors; such a life, compared with Gu Ailing's flower applause, how pale!
Bad conditions should not be an excuse for us. Quan Hong chan was born in a low-income family and had a difficult life; her mother was seriously ill and had no money for medical treatment; she lacked change, and luxury goods were cheap spicy noodles. However, her humble origins did not become an excuse for her negativity, and her poor family situation did not become a reason for her depression; the thorns along the way were cut by herself, and the bumps along the way were smoothed by herself. At the age of 7, many children are enjoying a golden childhood, but she has stepped on the springboard that her peers are afraid of; at the age of 7, many children are still addicted to fun games, but she has begun to train day after day. It can be imagined how many times the flexion body has a solid foundation, how many times the churning has the outstanding technology, and how many times the rotation has the strength to surpass the opponent. It took seven years of hard work for her to break through the cocoon and become a butterfly; seven years of suffering, she had a dazzling aura; and after seven years of suffering, she transformed into a beautiful white swan over Tokyo. Its success once again proves that the family is poor and insufficient, and the key to life depends on oneself; the conditions are not terrible, and the key to success depends on hard work. In contrast, some people like to find family reasons for frustration, like to find objective reasons for depression, in fact, they should all look to Quan Hongchan, we can't choose what kind of family, we can choose the spirit of hard work; we can't choose superior conditions, we can choose tenacious will, we can't choose the same starting point, we can choose to run fast!
Young people are eager for superior conditions, but only the courage to work hard can play the role of superior conditions and help themselves; young people are difficult to have a higher starting point, but as long as they dare to pursue, they can quickly achieve transcendence based on a low starting point. Yang Zhenning's conditions in the United States were unique and unparalleled, and he achieved success; Deng Jiaxian's conditions in the northwest of the motherland were harsh and the environment was harsh, and he could also detonate the first atomic bomb on the mainland. Although there is no shortage of examples of the success of young rich second-generation entrepreneurs, there are also many grassroots entrepreneurs like Liu Qiangdong who have achieved a magnificent turn in life. The root cause is that the family environment and material aspects are only the external causes of change and development, and hard work and tenacious struggle are the internal causes of change and development; external factors are auxiliary, internal factors are the key, and external factors must play a role through internal factors. The success of Gu Ailing and Quan Hongchan once again proves this truth; heroes do not ask the source, success should be thought of, we should be inspired from it.
As young people, we cannot covet enjoyment and not think of making progress because of the superior conditions, nor can we be pessimistic and fragile because of the difficult conditions. If the conditions are superior, we should strengthen our confidence and work hard like Gu Ailing; if the conditions are difficult, we should be as poor and strong as Quan Hongchan and challenge our destiny. Let us take the struggle as the oar, the struggle as the sail, and sail to the ideal shore where the flowers bloom!
