Adversity produces genius debate materials

First of all, people need strength, perseverance and confidence more in adversity than in prosperity. "People in adversity, such as vanilla, smell better." Therefore, people who come out of adversity can achieve something more.

Mencius said: Heaven will take great responsibility for Sri Lanka, so he must first suffer from his heart, work hard on his bones and muscles, starve his body, empty his body, and mess with his actions, so he can endure and get what he can't do. Great men at all times and all over the world struggled out of adversity with indomitable spirit, unwavering determination and invincible will.

Second, when I was young, Zola was very poor. In order to resist hunger, she caught sparrows and baked them. In order to write, she only sent a few clothes to the pawnshop, but she wrote a sensational Lu Gong magal family. Iacocca is a superstar in American automobile industry, but he was fired by his jealous boss in 1978 and was driven to a small room in a warehouse. Before he found a new job, he called it Iacocca's office. In the face of great humiliation, Iacocca did not feel depressed. Later, he became the president of Chrysler Automobile Company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, and earned 2.4 billion dollars in profits for the company, exceeding the total profits of the company in the previous 60 years. If Zola was born in a rich family, she may not be famous; If Iacocca hadn't been fired by his boss, he might have been a successful car salesman at best. So Balzac said: Suffering is the teacher of life.

Third, the great composer Beethoven failed to go to college because of poverty. At the age of seventeen, he suffered from typhoid fever and smallpox. At the age of 26, he was unfortunately deaf and suffered setbacks in love. In this case, Beethoven vowed to "take life by the throat". In the tenacious struggle against fate, in the career of music creation, the fire of his life grew stronger and stronger. Adversity did not frighten him, but became a magnetic field for him to gain great vitality.

Horace greeley: When he came to new york, he was just a penniless printer, but later he became the founder of The New Yorker Weekly and The new york Tribune Daily, which had a great influence on Americans.

5. william cobbett: He was originally a farmer's child. He became an important British politician through self-study.

Elihu Boerrigter: This Connecticut man is called "the learned blacksmith". He began to teach himself in his spare time and eventually became a linguist, writer and mathematician. One of his diaries often goes like this: "19 June Tuesday, 60 lines in Hebrew, 30 lines in Danish, 0/0 lines in Bohemia, 9 lines in Polish, 15 star names, and 0/0 hours while the iron is hot."

Michael faraday: He is the greatest experimental physicist. When he was a child, he lived in a stable in London and rented newspapers for a living. During his apprenticeship as a bookbinder, he learned the knowledge of electricity from Encyclopedia Britannica and started to build his own laboratory. Sir Humphrey David, a Scientologist, accepted Faraday as his assistant and exposed him to some of the greatest scientific ideas of his time.

Frederick Douglass: He is both a slave and an abolitionist. "He was born poorer than a person, because even his own body does not belong to him." The rules of the plantation forbade the slave to learn to read and write, but he only learned to read letters from pieces of paper and labels of medicine bottles. Later, his friends bought him freedom.

The best defense:

First, what is adversity? Adversity is the resistance that people encounter in the process of becoming useful, and it also includes difficult and tragic situations, namely predicament and despair. The process of a person becoming a talent is itself a difficult process of constantly overcoming many difficulties and experiencing many hardships. Just as only through eighty-one difficulties can we find the true scriptures, only through the baptism of wind and rain can we stand in the forest of true talents and practical learning.

Adversity makes talents based on the following points.

First, adversity exists objectively. We insist that adversity produces talents, not because we like living in those difficulties, but because it is an objective fact! True prosperity exists only in utopia. The appearance of human beings began when apes overcame adversity and walked out of the forest. They are the earliest talents, and the history of human development itself is a magnificent epic against natural adversity!

Second, materialist dialectics tells us that the fundamental reason for the development of things lies not in the outside of things, but in the contradictions within things. It not only provides the source and motive force of things' own movement, but also stipulates the direction and process of things' development. We admit that prosperity can provide the material conditions for the development of talents, but compared with these external factors, adversity can provide the motivation for talents to become talents and guide their development direction and process. When you are in trouble, you have the motivation and determination to get out of it. Only in adversity can people have the motivation and direction to advance, thus promoting the success of their careers.

Third, talent is a scarce resource of society. Talents at all times and all over the world have two very important characteristics: 1, tenacious vitality, and 2, good self-improvement ability. The growth process of talents is an unrepeatable and arduous struggle process that needs to break through many difficulties. Only adversity can eliminate people's own weaknesses, constantly improve their own congenital deficiencies and weak willpower, stimulate their own potential, and achieve self-improvement and transcendence! The lion who grew up in the zoo will never be the overlord of the grassland! The flowers cultivated in the greenhouse will never stand the baptism of wind and rain!

Fourth, it is human nature to take refuge easily. In prosperity, people tend to be complacent. Compared with adversity, prosperity is more of a hotbed of arrogance and extravagance. Mencius said, "Born in sorrow, died in happiness". In fact, those rich and prosperous royal families and descendants of princes in history have superior family education and good material conditions. How much is left in history? On the contrary, those people with lofty ideals who steal light from the wall in adversity, smell chickens dancing, and weave beams and thorns have finally become the pillars of a country.

Fifth, different adversity makes different talents, and the times make heroes. Talent varies greatly, just because of different adversity. Facing the adversity of national disintegration, the precedent of Tang Zong and Song Zu appeared. Facing the bondage of slavery, heroes like Lincoln and Martin Luther King emerged. Facing the needs of building the motherland, Deng Jiaxian and Qian Xuesen are the general models of the times!

Adversity makes talents, which is one of our beliefs. If you believe that prosperity produces talents, how can you have the courage to face the hardships and hardships on the long road of life alone, how can you continue to stick to your ideals in adversity, how can you not abandon your beliefs, blame others, and not fall down? If we believe that talented people come from prosperous times, aren't those inspirational quotes that still ring in our ears empty talk? !

An idealist may think that talent comes from prosperity, but "lions don't hunt unless they are hungry." "Wounded Zhong Yong" is a story that we are already familiar with. However, the aura of genius makes Zhong Yong a mediocre story. Are there few examples of being submerged in such prosperity? Look at those sages who are short of food and clothing! Confucius was frustrated all his life, but he cultivated "seventy-two sages" and founded the Confucian School, which was admired by later generations. Sima Qian finished his historical masterpiece in prison; Zhuge Liang "plowed Nanyang" in his early years, but later helped Liu Bei form a three-legged pattern and become an eternal star; Du Fu was in exile all his life, but he left precious poems, which made future generations sigh that "Du Li's articles are there, but the light is long"! ..... Although there are few politicians in the history of China, there are such outstanding thinkers, historians, militarists and poets!

King Wen was arrested and acted in Zhouyi, while Confucius did it in the Spring and Autumn Period. Qu Yuan's exile was endowed with Li Sao, his eyes were blind and he spoke Mandarin. Sun Tzu's Art of War was revised, but Lu Lan did not move to Shu. Han Fei was imprisoned in Qin and wrote 300 poems, saying it was difficult and lonely.

Mao Zedong, the great leader, ran around at the critical moment of national survival, learning and accepting new ideas. Later, he founded Mao Zedong Thought in the frustration of the revolution, overcame all difficulties, and led the people of China to achieve national independence and national liberation, making great contributions!

In the modern history of China, the pillar of the country that rose in adversity wrote a brilliant chapter, which enabled us to face and surpass adversity and left precious spiritual wealth.

Abroad, Balzac, Beethoven, Edison, Lincoln, Madame Curie and many other well-known names are giants of the times who grew up and tempered in adversity!

Looking back at our own surroundings, even in today's superior material conditions, how many students in our university campus are really sleepless for their studies, and how many students are addicted to online games and fall in love all night? From this, I miss our high school days, those years when we were immersed in learning and were willing to fight even if we were malnourished and didn't get enough sleep.

Today, with the development of education and the general improvement of education level, our society has produced several rice experts like Yuan Longping. Have produced mathematicians like Hua, geologists like Li Siguang and meteorologists like Zhu Kezhen? Compared with these talents who grew up in adversity, where are the talents produced by today's superior conditions? Even in Tsinghua University, the top educational institution in China, about 80% graduates choose to go abroad every year and never come back. I want to ask, is this the "talent" we have cultivated in prosperity? This reminds us of Qian Xuesen who resolutely returned to China in adversity. Deng Jiaxian, who developed "two bombs and one satellite" on the basis of poor motherland, was criticized and put into the bullpen during the Cultural Revolution, and later became the leader of Shanghai University, Qian Weichang. It is this kind of talent that has built the science and technology building of our motherland, and it is this kind of talent that has stood up the backbone of China!

We have more talents today than before, but even today, many successful people and entrepreneurs feel the same way about the lyrics of On the Road: On that day, I had to go on the road. For the sake of my self-esteem and self-proof survival, the bitterness on the road has melted into my eyes, and my inner predicament has turned into my firmness! !

We admit that the modernization process of the motherland paved the way for their success, but as a successful case, their own firmness and self-efforts in the face of difficulties are the key to their success. As two aspects of contradiction, this is the main contradiction of things!

We can't be fooled by the appearance of things. We admit that the United States is full of talents, but the United States is not a paradise, and there are difficulties there, just as Edison invented the electric light after countless hardships. The success of the United States also requires personal efforts and struggles, precisely because different adversity has created different talents. Our Chinese civilization is decades or even hundreds of years ahead of other countries. This does not mean that there were no difficulties in our previous calendars. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Du Fu's reputation as a poet was created by the growing environment of "the wine in Zhumen stinks and the road freezes to death". Wei Qing was born in the Tang Dynasty, but he was just a groom. Just because the whole country has a lot of wealth doesn't mean that success is easy and effortless!

Einstein, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, was only a small clerk in the Patent Office at first, and he did not have a superior environment to study physics. He was hunted down and displaced by the Nazis all his life. But it is precisely because he insisted on loving his career that even though the theory of relativity was almost ignored at the beginning and rejected by many physicists, he still devoted himself to studying and eventually became a giant and master of physics. Madame Curie, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, was penniless in hardships. In the research of discovering radium, her experimental conditions and equipment are extremely simple.

Unfortunately, it is a step of genius; The baptism water of believers; The priceless treasure of capable people; A bottomless pit for the weak. Balzac's words of wisdom still shock us today! !

Talent is the product of survival of the fittest. If a person is devastated in the face of difficulties and setbacks, it can only show that he does not have the quality to become a talent. The fleeting "Zhong Yong" figure is not a talent, but at most the object of people's regret or criticism after dinner; And many ordinary people, if they don't have the hard will and the ability to surpass themselves, are not talents, and there is no need to look at themselves and pity others.

Mencius said: "If Heaven wants to demote Sri Lanka, it must first suffer its mind, work its bones and muscles, starve its body and skin, and mess up its behavior, so it can't be tempted to be willful." Throughout the ages, how many people with lofty ideals can persevere and strive for self-improvement in times of adversity and even despair, all because they firmly believe that "heaven has given us great responsibility"! Such wise words, even ordinary people like us, can be used for life if we can get one or two sentences!

The story of "Meng Mu San Yun" is respectable, but it is only the external cause of Mencius' success. Compared with the internal cause of Mencius' hard struggle, which is more important, overcoming all difficulties and persisting in Confucianism research? We can't turn a blind eye to Mount Tai. Since ancient times, loving mothers have lost many children, but how many kind mothers have cultivated dependent prodigals! !

When Mao Zedong was a child, his family was very rich. Should we finally attribute Chairman Mao's great achievements in his life to the food he was able to eat and the warm clothes he wore when he was a child, and write off his self-choice and hard journey of fighting against heaven, earth and people?

There have been many comments on the top students admitted to China Youth University of Science and Technology. These people, once called prodigies, soon lost their luster and became the contemporary "Zhong Yong". Maybe everything came too naturally and gave them a devastating blow. I hope they won't be like the ancient ones or Liu.

In the midst of prosperity, we seldom see inner peace, the pillar of the era of hard work and simplicity, but we often see decadent teenagers who are arrogant and extravagant! Nowadays, many children are at home, and they don't have to take care of anything or arrange anything. As a result, their ability has not been exercised, which will only encourage their bad habits, make them unable to stand on their own feet, get along with others, and even go astray. The better conditions parents create for their children, the more everything is ready, the easier it is to have a happy life, and the more it stifles their desire to struggle!

Today, we advocate adversity to cultivate talents, not that we are willing to suffer those unnecessary hardships. But I hope we have more courage and strength in the face of difficulties. I hope that our troubled country can stand up bravely and firmly in the face of various adversities such as SARS, snowstorms and earthquakes, so that we can calmly and persistently face these difficult and even desperate scenes. Let adversity sharpen our minds, precipitate our impetuousness and extravagance, and in the belief that the sword front is sharpened and the plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold, let us realize self-improvement, even surpass ourselves, and let us go further on the road of life. The night gave me black eyes, but I was destined to use them to find light! ! !

Because the deeper the roots, the more lush the leaves; Because suffering is too heavy, our ambition is too strong! !
