The Old Man and the Sea" after reading.
The only book I've read that really moved me was The Old Man and the Sea by the famous writer Ernest Hemingway.
The Old Man and the Sea tells the story of an old Cuban fisherman, Santiago, who did not catch a fish for 84 days in a row, and was regarded as a failure by other fishermen, but he persevered and finally caught a big marlin. Although the fish were bitten, nothing could break his heroic will. This book reveals to us such a truth:
Man is not born to fail, a person can be destroyed, but not defeated.
In the past, whenever something didn't go well, I would back down, and sometimes I would say a few words of despair. In terms of studying, I have no confidence as long as I am not very good in a few exams. Since reading this book, I have known my own shortcomings, and I no longer lose confidence in my studies because I don't go well once or twice, but the more I don't do well in the exam, the more I have to do well in the exam.
In The Old Man and the Sea, the lonely old fisherman Santiago is no longer just a tough guy, and the spiritual values embodied in him are completely modern echoes of the spirit of ancient Greek tragedy. In "The Old Man and the Sea", Hemingway finally finds the soul of the tough guy he loves, and this soul is the eternal value of human beings.
This value includes self-confidence. Santiago has been out to sea for eighty-four days in a row and has not caught a single fish. But "those eyes, as blue as the sea, were pleasant, and not discouraged."
The kid who had followed Santiago out to sea to fish, said of his father calling him to another boat, "He didn't have much confidence. "Yes.
The old man said, "But we do, don't you say?" ”
Santiago's self-confidence is absolute self-confidence, the self-confidence that does not change due to changes in the environment, and the self-confidence that does not need to be compared with others. In Santiago's philosophy of survival, even if one encounters extreme bad luck, one can only be confident.
The only certain necessity of human life is to die. Other than that, there is nothing necessarily to fall back on. Since people live by chance, the only thing that supports people's courage to survive is self-confidence.
If he loses his self-confidence, will Santiago still have the courage and perseverance to go to sea to fish after so many days of bad luck? Therefore, people must be confident in life, and unconfidence is a luxury that people cannot afford. Because of Santiago's absolute self-confidence, he showed complete tolerance and understanding for the child to be called away.
Here, Hemingway shows the connection between self-confidence and tolerance.
Materially speaking, the old man struggled for three days and three nights, and the result was failure; But in terms of the human spirit, from the self-confidence and self-esteem of the people, and from the courage of the people to fight with all their might, Santiago has won.
In the final analysis, the true victory of man can only be the victory of the spirit. No matter how much material achievements a person has, he cannot win our high respect. And only the victory of spirit and courage moved me, and made me weep for the tragedy of the old man like the children who followed him.

Recently, I was reading the book "Aphorisms", which is very rich in content, including how to control our behavior, how to make ourselves adjust our mindset, and how to make our own lives healthy and healthy, I read it with relish, and n funny articles:
It is said that Xiang Yu is invincible and invincible, in addition to his courage, there is also a magic weapon for victory - a mobile phone ......
Xiang Yu defeated the Wujiang River, there was a surging river in front of him, and then tens of thousands of chasing soldiers, at this time the anxious Xiang Yu had to throw out the killer weapon, take out his mobile phone, dial the boatman's **, and ask the boatman to take him across the river quickly. That's when the most unfortunate thing happened: "The ** you dialed is not in the service area, please call again later."
The overlord said a sentence from his mouth, "Heaven will kill me, and it is not a crime of war." "So it seems that the mobile phone is still better than Unicom. What is the proof of Xiang Yu's use of a mobile phone?
Of course, because he was wearing armor and had no pocket, he pinned his mobile phone to his waist, so there was a "overlord farewell machine" that has been passed down through the ages.
Although the essay here is a joke, he uses accurate words, is full of humor, and the description of the environment is also very good, and some of the articles portray the characters vividly, and I should learn these writing techniques.

Nowadays, people live in a wonderful world, where there are flowers, grasses, birds, and what people call "insects" and other creatures. But have you ever thought about it? What kind of world would it be if one day there were no flowers, no grass, no birdsong, and all living things disappeared on this earth?
Once upon a time, in a small town in the middle of the United States, everything seemed so quiet, beautiful, and fragrant. However, the good times did not last long, and one day, the first villagers to build houses and dig wells came to this town. Everything has changed since then.
From that moment on, a strange silence enveloped the place, and an ominous omen descended on the village. Chickens, cows, sheep and other poultry began to die inexplicably, and the ghosts of death were everywhere. Later, plants and animals died one after another, and even humans were not spared, and everything was as silent as death.
We found out that there was a white substance on their houses and on the ground, so there were many speculations. It's a virtual town, but what makes it a silent spring? "Silent Spring" gives us the answer.
In fact, organisms on earth interact with the environment and influence each other. It is a new life - the emergence of human beings, and nature has been changed. In the primitive agricultural period, people began to develop drugs to deal with pests in the fields, and with the changes of the times, we have also continued to develop a variety of new drugs.
Charles Darwin once said, "The fittest survive, and the unfit are eliminated." "Those pests are trying to resist those pesticides in order to survive, and in the end, we still lose this struggle between man and nature.
We are polluting rivers because of our heavy use of these chemicals, and the chemicals left on our food are also harming us. With the progress and development of society, factories have sprung up one after another, and various chemicals with trade names have appeared on the market. Wastewater from those factories pollutes the river, making it impossible for the fish to live.
Due to the improvement of our living standards, economic income has also increased greatly, and cars have gradually become people's means of transportation, so people's exercise is becoming less and less, and immunity is weakened, which endangers people's health; The exhaust fumes emitted by cars have also become the main culprit of air pollution. People are littering now, environmental pollution is getting more and more serious, and people are living in a world full of harm......Protecting the environment, protecting the earth, but also protecting ourselves, everyone has a responsibility, in order to make our spring no longer silent, let us act together!
Strive for dreams, strive for ideals, stand tall for responsibility, and stand tall for solemnity. >>>More
The General History of the World gave me a strong sense of reality: it is an idea that can be used to cure the deep spiritual crisis that we now face as a result of revulging in technological progress; It helps people understand the future – the future with all kinds of possibilities and choices. In recent years, the most influential attempts to rewrite world history with a global perspective or with a global content have been written by individual historians, among whom Stavrianos's General History of the World is the most famous. >>>More
