Excellent argumentative essays in the second day of junior high school

Regret is a traditional Chinese medicine.

Some people say, "Regret is a bigger loss than loss and a bigger mistake than mistake, so please don't regret it." I think this statement is inappropriate. It is human nature to make mistakes. It is inevitable to say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, go the wrong way, encounter setbacks and experience failure ... At this time, most people will feel annoyed and regret, but it's no big deal. Sometimes, regret is not necessarily a bad thing!

If people don't regret it, how can the tense nerve be relieved? Life is not easy, and it is impossible to get anything you want. Not everyone has foresight, and everyone is sure to do everything well. In this case, life will inevitably stumble, encounter setbacks and fail. People who pursue perfection and don't want to have regrets will be too cautious in everything, and their nerves are always tense. This often backfires and makes things worse. In other words, if a person does not allow himself to regret, then his psychological pressure will not be released, but he is more likely to make mistakes. Regret is also beneficial, it can relieve stress and people's nervous strings.

Sang Lan, a famous female gymnast, is very strict with herself and never allows herself to fail and regret. Vaulting is her strong point, but before a competition, she tried to jump again and again in order to play her best. As a result, in the last jump, she landed on her head first because of high tension, resulting in paraplegia below her abdomen. If she had not been so strict with herself and allowed herself to fail, perhaps such a tragedy would not have happened. It was many years before she said frankly, "I don't want to let myself fail and regret." Sometimes it's terrible. I hope I try less. " This is also the experience and lesson she summed up for future generations.

If people don't regret it, how can they learn from failure? Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that you don't learn lessons after failure. Regret after failure is actually a process of summing up experience and lessons.

There was a sailor who often came home late because of work. The elderly father often waits for him until late at night. Every day, he asks, "Are you hungry? Do you want a bowl of noodles? " In fact, the father wants to chat with his son, but sailors don't know how to cherish it and always refuse it bluntly. One day, he received the bad news of his father's death, but he couldn't get home until 15 days later. He is very guilty and regretful, because he never had a good chat with his father, nor did he take time out to spend more time with him. It is the greatest sorrow in life that children want to raise and their relatives are absent. Fortunately, he still has his mother, and he has had regrets. He gave up his well-paid job as a sailor and went back to his mother. He finally understood that he must not leave his regrets for his father to his mother, and he should serve her well.

As the saying goes, happiness makes people simple for a long time, but misfortune makes people grow rapidly. Although regret after failure is unpleasant, it is this emotion that makes people understand how to make regret never happen again.

Those who set off the "Lin whirlwind" have also experienced countless failures and even almost passed the NBA. After every game, he always regrets that he didn't play his best, but he can sum up his experience in regret. Finally, when the main force was injured and he came off the bench temporarily, he seized this precious opportunity and played beyond the normal level, and finally became famous in World War I.

Therefore, regret is not completely useless. It's like a piece of Chinese medicine. Although bitter, it can't be immediate, but gentle infiltration can eventually cure the disease. Regret this prescription can make people progress in constant reflection.

Chapter II Breaking the routine and creating wonderful things

Since ancient times, rules have always been respected and observed by people, but tom sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer don't abide by them. They are "naughty boys". They hate the stories that priests cheat people, and they don't like the boring and rigid education methods in schools ... They always try to break all kinds of rules that restrict students.

However, when the danger comes, those timid "good boys" and "excellent students" hide in front of the contest between good and evil, while tom sawyer and Huckleberry Finn can stand up and bravely show their bold charm. Their spirit of breaking the rules is admirable.

Don't blindly follow the rules. If we change the angle and method, it is possible to make things develop in different directions. A child accidentally fell into the water tank while playing. The water tank was deep and the child was about to be submerged. The other children cried when they saw something was wrong. Only Sima Guang used his quick wits to lift a big stone from the ground and smash it into the water tank. The water tank broke, the water in the tank came out, and the child was saved. Sima Guang broke the mindset of "saving lives by entering the cylinder" and chose "saving lives by breaking the cylinder", which is a good move to break the routine.

As can be seen from the above, breaking the rules requires wisdom and courage, because without courage, there is no action to break the rules. Just think, if tom sawyer and Huckleberry Finn don't have the courage, how can they defeat the big bad Joe? If Sima Guang didn't have the wisdom and courage to break the mindset, how could he successfully rescue the child who fell into the water tank? Therefore, breaking the routine is not useless, sometimes it will make us get twice the result with half the effort.

If everyone doesn't have the courage to break the rules, the world will be a world without scientific development and progress of the times. Throughout the ages, human progress is the result of people breaking the rules.

The ancients believed that the earth was square and the sky was a fixed circular roof. In the 2nd century AD, Ptolemy, an ancient Greek astronomer, put forward the geocentric theory with the earth as the center of the universe. Because geocentric theory was in line with theocracy, it was supported by the church at that time and remained in a dominant position in the Middle Ages. Although some people have doubts about the geocentric theory, no one dares to explore it. Later, Copernicus * * * introduced "geocentric theory" at the cost of his life, and created a new view of the universe-"Heliocentrism". From the perspective of modern science, "Heliocentrism" has certain limitations, but it is precisely because there are many scientists like Copernicus who dare to break the rules and explore that they have promoted the process of human civilization. Innovation often comes at a price and requires extraordinary courage. Yes, without the courage to break away from convention, how can there be a major discovery of Einstein's theory of relativity? Without the courage to break the routine, how can there be Apple creativity that Jobs leads the trend of the times? Without the courage to break the rules, how can there be the rise and take-off of the Chinese nation in the 2/kloc-0 century?

We also need this kind of courage to break away from convention in our study and life. Think about the problem from different angles and find a simpler solution; Only by being brave in questioning and diligent in exploration can we truly master knowledge; Only dare to think, practice and try can we find our own shortcomings, so as to break through ourselves, surpass ourselves and create a wonderful life.

* * * * once said: "Innovation is the soul of a nation's progress and an inexhaustible motive force for a country's prosperity." Dear students, let's summon up courage, break away from convention, create excitement, sail to the sea of learning, climb the mountains of life and work hard for the national takeoff!

The third is to sit in the front row of life.

There was a warrior, and the goddess gave him a sword. Although he has a godsend sword, he doesn't feel lucky because it is a dagger. A man with a long sword can seal the enemy's throat one meter away, and a man with a short sword must come forward and attack each other. When soldiers set foot on the battlefield, a miracle happened: soldiers with long swords fell one after another, while soldiers with short swords were unstoppable and finally defeated the enemy.

Yes, the warrior is invincible because he remembers the words of the goddess: "Take a step forward and the sword will become longer!" " "Holding a dagger, he is more flexible than the enemy and can pierce the enemy's heart before the enemy reacts.

This story reminds me of myself. Because of my short stature and poor eyesight, I applied to the class teacher to sit in the front row of the classroom to make up for my shortcomings. As the saying goes, gold is not enough, and no one is perfect. Everyone is more or less imperfect. Faced with our own shortcomings, we should not feel inferior and sink, but should have a positive heart and try to sit in the front row of life.

After Yao Ming, a basketball superstar, retired, his defects were well known: at the age of six, he was deaf in his right ear and his hearing in his left ear was lower than that of ordinary people. I immediately understood why the "little giant" is always close to others when talking. It is said that Yao Ming's basketball future once stagnated because of his right ear deafness. If it is someone else, it is likely that they will shrink back because of hearing defects, but Yao Ming is just the opposite. He did not shut others out of his own world, but took the initiative to communicate with others; Good interpersonal relationship made him quickly gain a foothold in the complicated NBA team. Visible, a person's strengths do not depend entirely on his natural qualifications, and sometimes even the opposite-depends on his defects. When Yao Ming realized his shortcomings, he tried to change them. With the mentality of "sitting in the front row of life", he surpassed himself and went to success. In fact, it is precisely because of the belief of "sitting in the front row of life" that we can have a positive and self-surpassing character.

Another story is equally thought-provoking: In June 20 10, Haines, then a 5-year-old British boy, held his own art exhibition, and 40 works on display attracted tens of thousands of visitors. Haines was diagnosed with congenital cerebral palsy, permanent heart infection and other diseases from the moment he was born. In addition, his pulmonary artery stenosis was recognized by doctors as "never living 1 year". Although Haines is young, he has been fighting resolutely against the disease. Under the careful guidance of his grandmother, he used painting skills to communicate with his family, and took painting as one of the important means of his continued treatment. Haines has been in a state of excitement for several days in the exhibition. He goes to the scene every day to listen to people's comments on his works, so as to draw nutrition for creating better works in the future. Faced with a beautiful painting of a 5-year-old disabled child and other hearts stronger than normal people, we can only say, "Well done, Haines is sitting in the front row of life!" "

Sitting in the front row of the classroom like Yao Ming and Haines, I am also trying to sit in the front row of life. Although I have a "dagger", I firmly believe: "Take a step forward and the sword will become longer!"

The fourth goal is to dance in contraction

If a person has no goal, but keeps going, he will get nothing in the end. It is true that we should have a goal in mind, but if the goal is too high, it will sometimes backfire. Therefore, lowering our goals appropriately will sometimes bring us closer to success.

It is good to have lofty goals. If we keep them in mind, we can always push ourselves forward. However, we should not blindly pursue high goals. If we can't reach the set high goals, our self-confidence will be seriously hit. So set your goals according to your own abilities.

There is a story about a man who wants a fast and good horse, but he only has a bad one. The bad horse was far from his ideal horse, so he let it go with a sigh. He thought to himself: you must find your favorite horse and never lower your standards! However, he failed to find his favorite horse in the end. Someone took the bad horse he let go. The man rode the bad horse and found a fast horse that could run thousands of miles a day. If the first person is willing to lower the standard and ride that rotten horse to find his favorite fast horse, then he may have realized his wish.

Similarly, in learning, many students want to get good grades and set themselves the goal of "being the first in the exam". But it is not easy to get the first place, because there is only one first place. Some students worked hard, worked hard, and finally got the first place in the exam. However, some students failed to win the first prize because of the limitation of intelligence or learning ability. Students who fail to achieve the goal of being the first in the exam often feel depressed and even lose the motivation to make progress. Obviously, they didn't see their progress, and they didn't realize that surpassing themselves was to achieve their near-term goals. Therefore, we should lower our goals appropriately, set our own practical goals and achieve them step by step.

There was a little girl who was very thin when she was a child. She comes last in every run, so she is particularly afraid of going to physical education class. But her mother comforted her and said, "Never mind, son. Remember, next time your goal is just to catch up with your former classmates. " The little girl remembers what her mother said. When running again, the little girl struggled to catch up with the nearest classmate who ran in front of her. As a result, she went from the penultimate to the penultimate, the third and the fourth ... In this way, her running performance became better and better, and finally reached the upper-middle level. The little girl's mother extended the concept of "only catching up with the previous one" to her study and told her, "If you surpass one classmate in every exam, you will be great!"

Guided by her mother's thought of "catching up with the previous one", this girl graduated from Peking University on 200 1 and was admitted to Harvard University with a full scholarship, becoming the only China undergraduate admitted to Harvard Education College that year. This excellent girl is Zhu Cheng.

"Only catch up with the top one", that is, we often say "enough is enough to pick peaches". The goal is too high and too far to achieve, and it is easy to lose motivation. If you set your goal too high, you will be at a loss or even give up halfway. Clear and feasible goals and true and moderate expectations can make people move forward confidently.

In life, we should learn to lower our goals. Everyone dreams of living a comfortable and stable life. But there is no perfect thing, and it is obviously unrealistic to pursue a comfortable life like a paradise. Therefore, we should lower our goals appropriately and pursue a realistic life.

Life is like climbing a mountain. As long as you go up, even if it is only a small step, you will reach new heights. So is the goal. Achieving a small goal is a step towards a big goal. It is easier for people to feel the joy of success by lowering their goals appropriately. Why not? Let the target dance heartily in narrowing!

Chapter 5 March forward with gratitude on the road of youth

If you are grateful, the road to youth will be like a Rubik's cube, full of magical power.

There is a story in The Scholar: A scholar went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. On the way, he and his companions rested in a ruined temple. While eating, the scholar found an ant lying on dry food. The companion said, "I dare to steal even if I crush it." The scholar gently put the little ant back on the ground with his finger and said, "Go, little life." On the way back to the inn after the exam, the scholar suddenly remembered his negligence in the exam and wrote "Jade" as "Wang Shi", so he sighed "There is no hope this year", but when the list was announced, the scholar ranked first. It turned out that the little ant saved by the scholar fell on the word "Wang" in the paper in order to repay his kindness, which made the word "Wang" become the word "jade".

Even a small ant can be grateful, not to mention us teenagers with ideals and morality. Although Mr Hawking walks in a wheelchair, he can still face life with a smile. Why? Because Mr Hawking thinks that his fingers can still move, his brain can still think, he still has relatives and friends who love him, and he also has a grateful heart, which is enough for him to face life bravely. This shows how important it is to have a grateful heart.

Thank those who gave birth to you, because they gave you life; Be grateful to the people who raised you, because they let you grow up healthily; Be grateful to those who educate you, because they teach you knowledge; Be grateful to those who help you, because they help you tide over the difficulties; Be grateful to those who care about you, because they give you warmth; Be grateful to those who encourage you, because they give you strength; Be grateful to those who have hurt, despised and deceived you, because they have tempered your will, awakened your self-esteem and increased your wisdom …

Crows have the meaning of feeding back, and sheep have the grace of kneeling and nursing. These examples can awaken our long-dormant gratitude. Thanks to the green grass, its tenacious "endless wildfires and high spring breeze" taught us what is "strong"; Thanks to the rushing water, its determination to "how the water of the Yellow River goes out of heaven, into the ocean and never returns" has made us understand what "endeavor" is; Thanks to the fallen leaves flying all over the sky, the silent dedication of "falling red is not a heartless thing, but turning into spring mud to protect flowers" has let us know what "dedication" is. Let's thank the forest, the four seasons, the earth, the society and those who have helped us, whether familiar or unfamiliar!

Dear friends, please don't be stingy with your gratitude. When you get the care of your relatives or friends, at least say "thank you" from the heart and return with a sincere smile. Perhaps it is that simple "thank you" and that shallow smile that make our youth happier!
