讲述四川地震中另一种感动——对生命的乐观，本人以小见大，反映乐观之美
“Oh, May I Have a Bottle of Coca cola?” ----Optimism: another kind of
spirit in the
Sichuan earthquake
“May I have a bottle of coca cola, I’m thirsty?” such a remark appears to
be commonplace in our daily life. However, it was of great significance when it
was produced on a special occasion by a special person. A little girl made the
above remark the minute she was rescued from the ruins of
Sichuan earthquake. Suddenly, I was greatly buoyed up, because several
days’ grief had taken me away.
I, a sentimental girl, simply forgot there was a kind of spirit called
optimism. Yes, optimism is needed in such a life-death battle, and it is also
needed in our post-disaster reconstruction. Optimism: a belief in the darkness
Optimism can help one to be happier, stronger and more confident. Pessimism
leads, by contrast, to hopelessness, sickness and failure. In the context of the
great earthquake, what else can be more helpful and effective than teaching
those in trap a spirit named optimism? The belief that you can get through
decide whether or not you will. An old man, for instance, living through more
than one crisis: the Chinese War against
Japan’ Invasion, Chinese War of Liberation, showed his sense of humor and
optimism by saying “hey, I thought the shake had brought me aboard!” when he was
saved by a contingent of foreign rescue members. Noticeably, the earthquake just
like the one of the wars he has experienced, in his eyes, which was destined to
be defeated in the end. It was the old man’s belief that he would survive that
brought him a second life. A miracle, isn’t it? Optimism: a guide on the way
forward An optimistic attitude is not a luxury; but it’s a necessity. The way
you look at life will determine how you feel, and how you perform. It has been
two months since the
Sichuan earthquake took place, facing the fact that our beloved ones have
lost and our homeland has been seriously destroyed, how will we view the road
ahead? Will we look up in hope or down in despair? I believe in the upward look,
and I’m confident that our mother nation will choose the former, too. Take
education as an example. In order to secure the normal education for the
students in disaster-affected areas, local and central governments pooled their
efforts to provide necessary educational facilities and materials at the first
minute, thus making studying a reality instead of a dream, thus turning a sea of
ruins into a promising land on which students are playing, learning and
growing.
As the leader of the nation, CPC set us an example of optimism, therefore,
there’s a good reason to believe that under the leadership of CPC,
Sichuan province will usher a new round of development and prosperity.
Optimism diverts our attention away from negativism and channels it into
positive, upward thinking. The earthquake is by no means a fate for us but a
trial that entails concerted wisdom, efforts of one mind and one heart, and
above all, a spirit of optimism. |
