what style of life do you want ? what type of life do you want ? success , money or high status in society ? When I was a child ,I always told someone who visited to my home and asked my ideal that i would like to become a great man when I grew up ,such as the government minister or a famous star ,even the professor in a world top university .They often boasted me as a ideal child and also reminded me that only concentration can lead us to success. On the birthday of my 23 years old ,when I received the gifts and wished as usual ,I couldn't help to reflect on the past times which has mostly used to study at school to acquire the knowledge that will benefitial for us to hunt a job when we graduated.Yes ,in the terms of chinese success ,the purpose of education is directly to find a good job .Not to mention sentiment ,we have been taught to equiptted with courage and realism .We ofen confort ourselves that we will finally find peace and free life after retired .When we at our prime years of life ,we shall to chase on the battle of competition. Some people will become success for ability or for other reasons. In the tide of this standar of value ,I always fear that I would abandon the ideal as many people do who turn around to pursue the material comfort .As the old proverb in China thousands of years ago ,"you study hard for the beauty ,money and power."But do the facts are really like that ? I would not agree it .I consider that the style of life should be more slowly to enjoy the process ,more lyrical to sense the rhythm and cycle of life melody ,more passion to show the energy and integrity of human nature .No one grew old by the number of years ,they grow old by discarding ideals . Some call it fate ,some call it chance ,but we must make it clear that the satisfaction and happiness of life would not created by the outside circumstance , but in the control of ourselves ,in the choice of what style of life you would to choose ,what progress you would make for the better life of your children .
