世界是我們的，將來(lái)是我們的

一些人說(shuō)“我們正在讀一本無(wú)窮的書(shū)中的第一章的第一節(jié)。”我不知道誰(shuí)寫(xiě)了這些話，但是我始終很喜愛(ài)它，因?yàn)樗崾玖宋?，我們能夠?chuàng)建我們想要的將來(lái)。

我們是年輕的?！霸鯓佣冗^(guò)青春？”這是個(gè)有意義的問(wèn)題。為了去回答它，我首先要問(wèn)“從?青春?這個(gè)詞中你能理解到什么？”青春不是人生的一個(gè)時(shí)期，而是精神的一種狀態(tài)。青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深厚的意志，。青春是生命的深泉在涌流.

一位詩(shī)人說(shuō)“從一粒沙看世界，從一朵花看天堂，把無(wú)限放在你的手掌，永恒在一剎那里保藏”。讓我們伸出右手，我們可以看到手掌中的展示我們的愛(ài)，事業(yè)和生活的三條線。我在生活方面這條線很短，那你們的呢？我想知道我們是否可以用這種方法去看我們的將來(lái)。好的，讓我們一起握拳。我們的將來(lái)在哪兒？我們的愛(ài)、事業(yè)和生活在哪兒？告知我！是的，它們就在我們的手中。它們被我們自己駕馭著。

我們?nèi)咳硕枷Ｍ麑?lái)能比過(guò)去更美妙，但是將來(lái)能自己變得更好。不要因?yàn)榻Y(jié)束而哭泣，微笑吧，為你的曾經(jīng)擁有。從過(guò)去來(lái)看，生活是艱苦的，但我們是更堅(jiān)毅。我們知道我們不能選擇感覺(jué)，但是我們能選擇和它相關(guān)的東西。失敗并不意味著你不擁有勝利，它只意味著你應(yīng)當(dāng)用另一種方式去做這件事。失敗并不意味著你應(yīng)當(dāng)放棄，只意味著你應(yīng)當(dāng)更加努力。

正如我在前面所說(shuō)的“我們正在讀一本無(wú)窮的書(shū)中的第一章的第一節(jié)?！边^(guò)去的已經(jīng)過(guò)去，無(wú)論我們無(wú)力變更，但是將來(lái)卻在我們前方。信任“我們給了世界什么，世界也將給我們”。并且從今日起，讓我們一起做我們自己的主子，一起大聲說(shuō)出“世界是我們的，將來(lái)是我們的?！?/p>
