Breaking the cocoon into a butterfly
Breaking the cocoon into a butterfly
The most precious thing is life, life belongs to people only once, and a person's life should be spent in this way. When he looks back, he should not regret for having wasted his time, nor should he be ashamed for having done nothing.
--Paul Kotkin
That day I opened this solemn and grave book, and these words of Paul were deeply imprinted in my heart. Time flies like a white horse, in a flash, I have become a member of the millions of senior students, time is like holding the quicksand in your hands, swiftly and immediately passed This is like what Paul said, people only live once, can not look back on the past should not be wasted years and regret.
Ask yourself, looking back, do you not regret it?
When I think of the day I first entered the campus, that morning, the breeze blew away a ray of sunshine that fell on my head, as if greeting me as a new student. I was so nervous to usher in my new high school year, as my hands were clenched into fists and sweat was seeping out of my palms.
You know, it's hard to adapt to a new environment. So I had to play with my friends all day long to get rid of the fear in my heart. Time just slips away so quickly and unnoticeably. Time seems to be a long-footed urchin who tiptoes past you while you're lounging in your comfortable bed.
Is time endless?
No, it always runs away when you are playing with friends, in your daze laziness is walking past you. Even if you try to reach out and grab it, it flies further away as if it has wings.
As a student, you know, less and less, is the exam.
Most of the semester has passed, are you ready?
More than a year has passed, but I remember clearly that every night before the exams, I had trouble sleeping because the majority of the semester was spent just frolicking with my new friends. Classes and homework were all behind me! The night before the exams was so dark that the wind outside the walls messed up the frequency of the swaying leaves and my thoughts.
The next day, sure enough, everything went according to order, in the right way. The world's rules of the game are such that they will not break the huge rules because of your little things.
I didn't have to think about it, but I was bound to lose this exam, and I was going to lose.
More than a year later, I still clearly remember how I felt at that time, so when I saw Paul say: "A man's life should not look back and regret his bungling!"
Now I look back on the past, but there is a lot of regret in my heart.
When I have time to sit down and think about it, do I want my life to go on like this?
To become a big tree, each leaf has to struggle to break free from the bark of the tree.
To become a delicate flower, each petal has to struggle to break free from the bud to bloom beautifully.
To become a butterfly, you must become a cocoon.
Many times I am just a caterpillar that no one asks for. If I want to become a butterfly one day, what awaits me is not just a challenge or two.
Because I don't want to become the kind of person Paul said.
Since I can't decide to stop wasting time.
When I had time, I would go to the study room in the library to study hard. The first time I arrived at 9:30, I didn't realize that there were so many people in the world who cherished time and worked harder than I did. Going to play, there was no place to sit down and study, even so, I didn't have the idea of slacking off and going home.
That day, I stood in the library all day, and it was good that many books filled my head. I didn't have time to think about whether I was still tired or not.
The next day, I decided to go early, that was my first encounter, the library just opened. The tables and chairs in the study room were neatly arranged, no one was around, and at this point, I finally looked like a grasper.
Every day of the summer since then, I have chosen to read more and consolidate my knowledge a little more. Lu Xun was right when he said that time is like water in a sponge, as long as you are willing to squeeze, you will always have it. Yes, we often fail to finish many summer assignments, is it really because there are many? Isn't it because of laziness?
It's because of going to the library that you have the opportunity to pick up "How Steel is Made".
Because I went to the study room in the library, I realized that the desk was worn out by the hand of writing.
Many, many people are working hard toward their dreams, and luckily, I managed to join the team so that I am not alone in the way my peers do.
If you work harder when you're young, you'll thank yourself for working so hard in the future. I will always be like this, working tirelessly towards my dreams.
I read this quote.
"May I ask what color your life has been for a few years?"
"I don't know, I don't know what color hard work is!"
Now the days may be confused, but determined the direction, everything will slowly become better. Now I slowly cocoon, I hope that one day, I will be grateful for the time and effort I cherish now.
One day, I believe I will break through the cocoon into a butterfly.
