Life Is a Struggle 生活是就一場戰爭
Life is a struggle. I shall never forget the most striking part of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow' s poem -- A Psalm of Life: "In the world's blood field of battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife!"
Ludwig van Beethoven was a typical "hero in the strife". He was not only one of the greatest composers, but also one of the most persevering men. As a deaf man, he went on working with his strong will in the last year of his life, though he was not able to hear his own fine and original music. Another example of persistence in struggle is Deng Yaping. She once said that her technique came from continuous training, emphasizing the importance of daily practice to a player.
As a student, I seem to be in a boat sailiug against the current. I must make an effort to forge ahead. A little carelessness will result in being driven back. Indeed, learning is a struggle against idleness and carelessness. Following the examples of Ludwig van Beethoven and Deng Yaping, I shall take great pains to urge myself on, moving steadily forward like a heroic boatman in the rough sea of knowledge.
生活是一場斗爭。我永遠不會忘記Henry沃茲沃思朗費羅的詩——生命的詩篇中最引人注目的部分：“在世界的戰斗血場，在野外生活，不要像啞巴，帶動牛！做一個戰斗英雄！”
路德維希貝多芬是在斗爭中一個典型的“英雄”。他不僅是最偉大的作曲家之一，但也是最有毅力的人之一。作為一個聾子，他在他生命的最后一年工作的堅強意志，雖然他沒能聽到他自己的優秀原創音樂。另一個例子是鄧亞萍堅持斗爭。她曾經說過，她的技術來自于不斷的培訓，強調對于一個球員日常實踐的重要性。
作為一名學生，我似乎是在逆水行舟。我必須努力進取。一個小的疏忽會導致被擊退。事實上，學習是對懶惰和粗心的斗爭。跟據路德維希Van貝多芬和鄧亞萍的例子，我要想方設法鞭策自己，穩步推進就像在知識中的驚濤駭浪英勇船夫。
