800-word essay "Down-to-earth, to be truly happy

Looking up at the stars and keeping your feet firmly on the ground WEN/YANG LONGYUE Source: Oriental Sports Daily In 1986, Maradona scored the most amazing goal in the history of the World Cup in Mexico, 68-year-old Nelson Mandela was trapped in a cell on Robben Island, the prison uniform No. 46664. at that time, he was never likely to see the 24 years later, the celebration of the sky. At that time, South Africa and soccer as black and white, and in the World Cup season, Mandela can do, is through a corner of the cell window, looking up at the stars. Now, Mandela can finally put his head down and look down on a feast that the entire soccer world has dedicated to him in South Africa. It is said that he wrote a song called "Hope" for the opening ceremony of this World Cup, perhaps there should be such a lyrics - people can look up, is happiness.　　What will the World Cup in South Africa bring? This is a question. At least today, before we've seen the spectacular goals, the rising stars, the intense matches and the unexpected winners, we've already seen stampedes, looting and burglaries, with victims including fans, players and media journalists. Mandela dedicated his life to fighting for equality and freedom, leading South Africa to break through the barriers of black and white. But on the ground, people will find that there are still new barriers growing between whites and blacks, between the poor and the rich. The psychological boundaries and subsequent reactions that cannot be undone after the reversal of black and white can be read in Kutcher's text. And the widening gap between the rich and the poor has formed the main social conflict in South Africa now, a breeding ground for crime. The hosting of a World Cup will not change South Africa, a country rich in diamonds, where many people look up to the stars, but because only the stars are the poor man's diamonds.　　Some people look up to the stars to inquire about the coordinates of human beings in the world, such as Mandela. Some people look up to the stars because they are a drunken poet, like Maradona. Some people look to the stars because they are not actually soccer players, but astrologers, like Domenech. And some people look up to the stars just because they are sitting on the fence and think they can have the biggest piece of cake. Of course, I won't name who the latter are; the frog may be withered, but it at least has the right to blow itself up into a toad.　　In the World Cup, the green stars were shining brightly, and Mandela was the idol of many of them. Crow, Beckham, Weah, etc. were honored to have met with Mandela, and the latest to be invited was Maradona. I always feel that Maradona is also a man who likes to look up to the stars, so he even plays soccer with a fake hand of God, so he acts without any reason and is shocked by the world. Crazy Maradona with his crazy Messi, Iguane, Milito and so on on this crazy continent of Africa is a magnificent adventure, as if the sound drunken people sat on the driver's seat of the Ferrari, no accident, there will be a story. Such a person, with such a car, is a must wave to drive. In my opinion, if Argentina does not go to the end in this World Cup, perhaps not because crazy too much, but because crazy enough.　　Every four years to this time, the same in the world of soccer looking up at the stars, and Chinese soccer. Although we can not do anything but look up, this feeling can not be eliminated. Kant said: in this world there are only two things that make us feel y shocked, one is the brilliant starry sky above us, and the other is the noble moral law within us. Translated to soccer, I thought these two things were natural laws and man-made rules. What shocked me y is that these two things are not present in Chinese soccer. Therefore, the reconstruction of Chinese soccer must start from these two points, otherwise, looking at 2014, we still have two empty eyes.　　Liang Xiaosheng talked about the Beijing college entrance examination essay "stargazing and down-to-earth" writing method Source: People's Daily Online "stargazing" and "down-to-earth" three writing methods 2010 Beijing college entrance examination essay question: stargazing and down-to-earth, required to write an 800-word essay, not limited to the style of writing.　　"Although the 800-word essay is not long, it can test the students' skills and literacy." Hearing the reporter's question, the famous writer Liang Xiaosheng said that this essay topic has a deep meaning, not only the candidates should consider the issue, but also worth every one of us to savor the true meaning of it.　　"Look up to the stars" and "down-to-earth", with a strong background of current events, the expectations of Premier Wen on contemporary youth, interpreting the values of the young generation should be.　　Candidates can do this essay question in three ways. First, if candidates know these backgrounds, candidates can write an essay on this, from the Premier's concern for aviation, as a way to spur themselves on to have a modern scientific spirit and a spirit of practical work. To have a lofty ideals and firm beliefs, inspired by the ideals and beliefs to continue to forge ahead, which is the intrinsic motivation for success in all things; but also to have a down-to-earth and indomitable spirit of struggle, in order to realize the ideals and beliefs of the unremitting struggle, which is an important condition for the realization of the ideals.　　Second, students may not know the background. One would immediately think of starting from the self, taking the stars as the goal of the self, and keeping one's feet on the ground as the spirit and way to realize the goal. It is okay to write this way. Only, the gap between personal goals and the stars is too wide. Generally speaking, we do not compare our personal goals to the stars, and still look up at the posture. This may be written with a lack of confidence, and there will be airy, inappropriate aspects throughout the text that some students will realize as they write.　　Thirdly, the student is equally unaware of the context, but he is also able to step outside the realm of the realization of personal life goals. The relationship between the two can be understood as the tomorrow or the future of the endeavors of a country and a nation. A relentless quest toward the endless unknown. Written in this way, the momentum is different, the dimension of thinking seems to be vast, the students will write a passion.　　Written along these three lines, the first will feel down-to-earth and sincere, serving as an inspiration; the third can be written romantically, with a broad vision and passion. The second is probably the case for most candidates. Most of the candidates did not know the background of "looking up to the stars and keeping one's feet on the ground", but all of them should describe "looking up to the stars" as the ideal goal of life, and "keeping one's feet on the ground" as the path to reach the goal. The path to reach the goal was described by all candidates as a desirable goal in life, and "keeping one's feet on the ground" as the path to reach the goal, in the form of an essay. However, the lack of confidence in the intention will make people feel that the essay is seemingly simple, but really put pen to paper to write but found not so simple, want to write a colorful very difficult.　　Therefore, young people nowadays must pay attention to reality. "Stargazing" caters to the unique personality of 80, 90 after, in favor of 8090 life imagination comparison, "down-to-earth" has a very deep moral! In short, this topic is based on "down-to-earth", which has a strong social significance. Not only for the young people to participate in the college entrance examination, the whole nation should pay attention to overcome the impatience, down-to-earth reality. (Reporter Ni Guanghui) Stargazing and Down-to-earth Stargazing is a kind of spirit and state of mind, and down-to-earth is a kind of posture and action.　　People who often look up at the starry sky have a deep vision, a broad mind and a lofty goal. Only those who see the distant future will have the direction and motivation to move forward, and will have the vigor and vision to embrace the world and the universe. He is not afraid of difficulties, he is not afraid of difficulties and dangers, because he knows his goal very well, he knows where he is going. He doesn't get lost because he is able to scrutinize his trajectory often and he can correct his course at any time. Looking up at the stars can make us feel small and vast, and can let us grasp the present and the future!　　Looking up at the stars is a kind of direction; keeping one's feet on the ground is the action and ability to move towards the direction.　　Down-to-earth, so that we have something to rely on, so that we have a point of landing. Only with a foundation can we build a tall building; only to move forward, there can be progress. Down-to-earth, is our forward all the boiling point and action of the landing point. Is all our dreams based on the reality of the consideration and possession of the decision. The pavilion in the air can't stand the slightest touch; the boat seeks the sword, can't recover the lost treasure.　　Looking up at the starry sky, we can always give ourselves a position, and give ourselves a suitable and reasonable quadrant. In their own appropriate quadrant, can be free to stretch, soaring, and not to the folding of the sand, head broken and bleeding. Grounded, can give themselves enough power, can give themselves forward steps. In the footsteps of the cycle, can little by little shrink their distance from the direction and dream, can gradually change their position and status quo, can for their next height and far away from the accumulation of due power.　　The headless fly, blindly bumping and banging, finally not its door, because it does not have its own forward direction. The ostrich, burying its head in the sand, is in the end not immune to the approaching danger. All kinds of animal behavior, and how similar to some of our human actions. But the bloody cost of animal life, still can not wake up our own reflection and alert.　　How many people, boiled white sideburns, still can not find their own position, so how many talents with the loss of years; how many people, countless fantasy, still dreaming of pie in the sky of the beauty of the encounter. Years and years go by, the stars shift, how many human sorrows and joys in the bright starry sky under the cycle of staged, and how many old tears of sorrow in the eyes of the world and the bottom of the heart replayed over and over again ...... Some people say that the stars are too far away, can not solve any problem; some people say that the reality is too helpless, rubbed away all the edges of my. I say, this is an excuse, everything has its negative side, but that is not all, not even a very small part. What we have to do is that we should see their macroscopic side, the main side, instead of magnifying its very, very small part infinitely, magnifying it to the extent that it can hinder us from moving forward.　　"The road is long, the road is far, I will go up and down." The words of a patriotic aspirant pierced through the ages, especially with a lingering sound; "I look up to the starry sky, which is so magnificent and glorious; that eternal incandescence, which makes my heart ignite with the blaze of hope and resound with the thunder of spring." A Prime Minister who has labored for the people, and what a deep hope he has placed in us. Our times need us to look up to the stars to assess the situation, our times also need us to put our feet on the ground to move forward!　　Adhering to the lofty aspirations of our predecessors, and carrying forward the spirit of the Chinese nation of practical work, let us shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, and together write the world's splendor.
