shortcomings

As the saying goes: gold is not perfect, no one is perfect. Not every piece of gold is free of impurities, everyone has advantages and disadvantages, there is no perfect perfect; When God closes a door for you, he must also open a window for you. Therefore, the same is true for the cultural relics "copper galloping horse", should not seek perfection blame, should not magnify the shortcomings.

Ugly in appearance, but great in spirit. China's national treasure copper galloping horse, also called horse galloping swallow, is a curious article unearthed in Gansu Province in 1969. It WAS ALSO a TOURIST symbol of our COUNTRY, BUT THIS NATIONAL TREASURE COPPER GALLOP HORSE LOOKED VERY UGLY AND LOOKED LIKE GOING MAD, BUT EVEN IF IT was UGLY, IT COULD NOT CONCEAL THE SPIRIT OF DEVELOPMENT THAT our Chinese PEOPLE HAD, WHICH REPRESENTED THE SPIRIT of a NATION AND WAS A MANIFESTATION OF ITS VALUES, BEAUTY AND UGLINESS. Therefore, we should not only look at the secondary side of the problem, we should look at its mainstream value, because the mainstream can represent the essence of things.

Poverty is sometimes the greatest wealth. It can temper people's will, let people succeed in the attack. A young man often complained about his poverty, and an old man said, "In fact, you have the greatest wealth." "Where is it? The young man asked eagerly. "You have a pair of eyes, if you give me one, I will give you all you want." "I cannot lose my eyes," replied the young man. "Well, I want your hands, with a bag of gold as compensation", "hands can not be lost", "since you have a pair of eyes, you can find, a pair of hands can create, this is not wealth?" "The old man said with a smile. Yes, in poverty to understand everything hard-won, more know how to cherish; And less detours, create and change themselves, succeed and be respected.

Setbacks make people rise up to change the status quo. Lincoln: His mother died in 1818; He went bankrupt in 1831. Had a nervous breakdown in 1836; He was defeated in 1858; Elected president of the United States in 1861, after the resume can be seen, Lincoln in a variety of setbacks after the blow, indomitable attitude to life. Keep faith, keep working hard, change the status quo, and prove yourself to the world. It can be seen that hard life, although not perfect, but it has created the spirit of not afraid of setbacks. Life is not smooth sailing, to deal with difficulties and setbacks, to respond bravely, dare to face up to the status quo of their own, research and change methods, is what we should do. Different attitudes decide different fates. If Lincoln had failed, America would have lacked a great president.

Beauty and ugliness are the norm of life. In life, we should not give up on things that are not perfect, they all have their own value, merit or strength. To discover with your own eyes is a great treasure. Just like the profile of the copper galloping horse, the steed galloping, speed and vitality, showing a strong national spirit; The positive side is the support of strength and beauty. No Mercedes, no speed? Without hard work, where is the spirit? "Delicate flower according to the water" appearance, that or galloping horse?

No man is perfect until he is pure. We should focus on the mainstream and look at the essence of the problem. The defects cannot obscure the virtues.
