Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.
He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then
addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."
Everyone may encounter a scene when he or she wonders what the meaning and purpose of life is. Answers to this question vary from person to person. As for me, I agree with the view that the meaning of life is to discover your gift and the purpose of life is to make the best of it.
On one hand, one's gift could be the source of his inner happiness, providing spiritual impetus and correct orientation. Take the world-renowned Chinese pianist Lang Lang as an example. His gift was noticed before he was 3 years old, which laid the foundation of his glorious life. On the other hand, proper use of talent helps people to realize their value in a positive way, thus making contribution to the society as a whole. For instance, Isaac Newton made a universally amazing discovery by digging into his gift and finding the Newton's law of gravitation.
In conclusion, let's search for our true gift and utilize it to the fullest to achieve a happy and valuable life.
星期一,我的四个朋友来看我,正巧妈妈在给恭喜清洗它的小房子,而此时的恭喜由于被困在桶里,急的'只想往外蹦,恨不得想长对翅膀从里面飞出来。
终于,恭喜被放进了它的小房子,这时,恭喜总算放心了。恭喜望着这焕然一新的小房子,顿时心情舒畅。突然,它看见房子外的我们都在全神贯注地看它,也不知道从哪里来的力气,开始登高爬低。
恭喜首先跑到笼子旁,伸出双爪,腿和手配合的还挺默契,噌噌噌往上爬。哎呀,这下可糟了,恭喜已经爬到顶上了,它是继续呆在那儿呢?还是直接跳下来呢?不,都不是。恭喜就像是一名运动健将,双爪交叉着,熟练地吊在钢网上。恭喜看到自己已经在“二楼阳台”的上方了,就把双爪松开,蹦了下来,它四处张望了一下,就钻进自己的小屋子。看到这里,我们忍不住哈哈大笑,还喊着:“哇!恭喜,你真厉害!”
其实,后面还有更精彩的呢!你们看,恭喜把小脑袋从窗口伸了出来,突然,它伸出双爪,扶着窗口,身体向前倾。果然,它毫不犹豫地跳了下来,头在下,身体在上, 一头栽进了它的饭碗里,活像一位跳水运动员一头栽进水里一样。恭喜出来的时候,还是晕乎乎的,走路都不稳了,仿佛连我们都能感觉到恭喜的头还在剧烈的疼呢!天色晚了,四个朋友都走了,而恭喜也钻进了自己的小屋。
小朋友们,恭喜是不是很有趣?你们发现恭喜的秘密了吗?没错,那就是每次有人来看它的时候,它都会特别的兴奋,赶紧来一番表演。
