Life with dreams is more wonderful (revised draft)

Writers should not only dedicate more good works to everyone, but also have the responsibility and obligation to further improve the quality and level of their works.

My dream of being a painter was established on my first day of college. It was unforgettable for the rest of my life. When I was in college, I was the first freshman to report for duty. I remember that it was raining heavily that day. When I traveled a long way and was drenched, I was led to his home by Professor he Qitao (a nationally famous watercolor painter). He took out his children's clothes and asked me to put them on and asked his wife to send me a glass of hot water.

However, what excites me even more is that the scene in front of me suddenly enlightens me. On the wall are watercolors painted by well-decorated teachers, and under the light blue lining hanging from the window, there is a plaster statue of David by Michelangelo, the master of European Renaissance sculpture; on the table are neatly placed exquisite picture books, and penholder is filled with various brushes of different sizes. Then look at the teachers around me, kind and elegant, with extraordinary temperament. In the face of this situation, I can't help but respect and silently swear in my heart that I must become an artist like a teacher in the future. At that time, this idea, has been accompanied by themselves, has become the driving force to move forward. Reading and appreciation of American articles

During my three years in college, I worked harder and more seriously than anyone else. Always insist on writing study notes, constantly sum up and reflect on the problems in learning and solutions; in order to hone my will, I insist on taking a cold bath every day in winter; in two summers in three years, I often think of my own shortcomings, slow reaction and poor memory. So I dare not slack off and spend twice or even several times as much time reading, drawing and thinking. It is with such a drive that he has been rated as a three-good student twice in the three years of the university. It has won the intimacy and appreciation of the leaders and teachers of the department and the respect and trust of the students.

After going to the educational post, in the 80s and 90s of last century, in the face of the current situation that the society did not attach importance to art education, many art teachers went out to receive business, make up lessons and earn extra money. When the kind-hearted man saw that I had not responded, he reminded me that it would be a fool not to earn extra money with this skill. I was not affected by these factors. After the normal completion of teaching, I conscientiously studied painting, engaged in creation, and improved my professional ability. at that time, my creative conditions were relatively poor, and only those who had experienced it could experience it firsthand. It requires indomitable will and perseverance. My persistence moved God and got the guidance and guidance of dignitaries. His works participated in provincial and municipal art exhibitions many times, and some of them won prizes and were published. in 1997, he joined Jiangxi artists Association and became a painter.

Under the condition that the status of art teachers in primary and secondary schools is not high, and many people change jobs or slack work, I stick to my job, humbly learn from the old teachers, concentrate on teaching, adhere to educational scientific research and tutoring students' extracurricular activities. I made great achievements in my work, and in 2008 I was named as the first batch of discipline leaders in primary and secondary schools in Jiangxi Province.

After having some halos on my body, I have not changed my standard of being a man, and I am still humble and low-key. I give others the impression of being elusive, silent, unsociable and a little withdrawn. Some people say that I am unsociable and pedantic, while others say that I am cold and difficult to approach. At first, I still had distress and anxiety, just because I had a dream in my heart and a goal in life. I devoted myself to busy work and things I was interested in every day. My troubles soon passed away in exchange for happiness and contentment.

A dream is an expectation for the future, a situation that can be achieved by thinking about the future in the present, but can only be achieved by hard work. A dream is something that makes you feel that persistence is happiness, happiness, and even can be regarded as a belief.

Happiness seems easy, but as you get older, it seems more and more difficult to get a sense of achievement. Only those who keep chasing their dreams will reap the greatest happiness in life-ensp; happiness is spiritual pleasure, spiritual uplift and satisfaction. This is the state of life I most want.

Everyone must have a dream on the way to growing up, and a person must have a dream if he wants to be happy. People become different because they have dreams, just like Jack Ma, his dream is to help more people realize their dreams.

A person can be very poor, poor and humble, but he can't live without dreams. As long as the dream day, as long as the dream exists for one day, you can change your situation. Oprah. If we lose our dreams, we will live in obscurity, without joy, without progress, and even without knowing the meaning of life.

I retired in 2015, and in theory, I have completed my merit, and I can go home in peace and enjoy the family happiness of my children and grandchildren around their knees. However, I did not stop dreaming, but replanned my retirement life. After some thoughtful consideration: after weighing my personality, strengths, environmental conditions, and physical condition, I decisively ended the art career that had been with me for more than 40 years. I opened up another way and started literary creation.

Since the publication of the first prose work on the China Prose Network in July 2016, it has been out of control. in more than three years, more than 100 essays, poems and comments have been published on many literary websites across the country. some of these prose works participated in the national competition and won two gold prizes, one special prize, one first prize and one second prize; two collections of essays were published, and plans are under way to publish the third collection of essays. In July last year, he was admitted as a member of Nanchang Writers Association. On March 8 this year, the Jiangxi Writers Association announced a list of new members on its website, and my name was conspicuous.

As a matter of fact, I am not very positive about joining the Writers' Association. As early as the year before last, some well-known provincial writers recommended me to declare. However, I did not take action. At that time, I felt that my work was not strong enough. After accumulating some good works, I had confidence. In the days waiting for the approval of the new members of the provincial writers' association, I am mentally prepared, no matter whether I pass it or not, I will continue to write! Because it can give me happiness!

My writing does not affect the normal life of the family, such as taking my grandchildren to and from school, taking care of their daily life, cooking and cooking, and so on. The schedule is full and busy all day. Sometimes, staying up all night because of rushing manuscripts will inevitably affect sleep. Although nervous decline occurs from time to time, it will get the concern of relatives and friends. Some people think that it is because writing affects their health. However, I think it is the opposite. Before I retired, I was tired before I was old. I always lost things, forgettable, and had a poor memory. Now I seem to be a different person, and my energy, memory and vitality are better than before. This is the charm of dreams!

I very much appreciate this passage of Lin Yutang: no matter how vague dreams are, they always lurk in the bottom of our hearts, so that our minds will never be at peace until these dreams come true; just like seeds in the ground, we must sprout and grow, reach out to the ground and look for sunshine.

In one's life, there is always a belief that supports us and makes us keep imagining that tomorrow will be better. It is in this expectation that every day becomes unusual. We see the flowers contend for beauty in spring, the branches and leaves in summer, the fruits in autumn, and the snow in winter. In this four seasons of reincarnation, because of the dreams in our hearts, life is much less boring and the soul is much less lonely.

If achievement is the height of one's life, then dream is its first cornerstone. The eagle has the dream of flying in the blue sky, so it dominates the sky; the dream of flowers is to decorate the earth. So it blossoms all over the mountains; the stream dreams of embracing everything, so it becomes the sea. Because dreams determine the height of life, dreams also determine your achievements.

According to my own life experience, I have summed up the following understanding and experience:

Dreams are big and small. Some people want to explore the universe, oceans, astronomy and geography; some people want to be painters, teachers, and doctors; and some people just want to change the status quo and make themselves happy, dignified, interesting, and so on.

Second, how many dreams there are, and some people are obsessed with selflessness for the sake of a goal for decades. Some people have several dreams, such as Jack Ma wanted to sing, be an actor, draw and so on when he was a child.

Third, dreams are dynamic and static, and they are not immutable. Change with time, work, and environment. Adjust, choose, and change as you re-recognize yourself. Since September 10 last year, Jack Ma resigned as Chairman Alibaba to become a teacher is a typical example.

Dreams make our lives brighter, dreams make our lives more wonderful. Let's always live with a dream and pursue happiness.
