Composition for full marks in college entrance examination: The undulating waves are more powerful

This cartoon is a set of clever and profound contrasts. The child who got full marks first and then 98 points received a kiss and a slap in the face, while the child who got 55 points first and then 61 points received a slap and a kiss. From the situation of these two children, we see a mentality that many people have intentionally or unintentionally: pursuing excellence, being proactive, and denying mistakes and regression, even if the "mistake" is only two points.

Striving to improve is certainly a good thing. Just like the second child in the comics, he went from failing to passing, which is a qualitative change and achievement worthy of recognition. Although the climb is arduous, the magnificence of "seeing all the small mountains at a glance" on the top of the mountain cannot be enjoyed by those who linger at the foot of the mountain. However, is going from 100 to 98 a reprehensible fall? No. 98 points is still an enviable good result. 98 points and 100 points are both excellent levels. From 100 points to 55 points is the depravity that should be alerted to.

There is such a huge gap in attitude towards the still excellent first child, even I can’t help but feel aggrieved. In the context of increasingly fierce competition, many people pursue an extremely elite education that demands perfection, and yearn for "the high place is not as good as the cold". From "tiger mother and wolf father" to college entrance examination slogans like "raise one point and sweep away thousands of people", everyone's nerves have become a taut bow, fearing that they will be slapped in the face.

However, there is a timeless and simple truth: "No one is perfect, and no gold is pure." We always think of "hanging the clouds and sailing across the sea", but forget that setbacks and ups and downs are the normal state of life. . The power of "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead" lies in this ups and downs. The vast sea will never be as weak and quiet as a blue lake. The clear and shallow water surface can remain stable, but it also loses the energy to carry the big boat.

Yes, undulating waves are more powerful. Without retreat, without troughs, there would be no motivation and space to move forward, and there would be no shock of accumulation. Just like the penguins living in the Antarctic ice sea, when they want to jump to the shore, they do not struggle desperately on the water surface, but plunge into the deep water, and then jump out of the water with a surge of momentum, landing gorgeously on the shore. The second child is like the penguin who gained the strength to leap after a failed deep dive.

Of course, we should give encouragement and support to our first child. We do not have to get full marks to be an outstanding child. He is the ebb and flow of the sea, the turbulent waves that can drown everything. I also believe that he can make up for his shortcomings in the two-point gap and get full marks next time.

The ups and downs of waves are more powerful. I believe that in imperfection, we can better break through ourselves, and in retreat, we can regain the courage and motivation to move forward.
