What is a dream? Please give a detailed answer.

Meaning: 1, sometimes equal to ideal, different from ideal 2, yearning for 3, the ideal that can be realized in dreams. Discrimination: Dream is a kind of longing for beautiful things, sometimes unrealistic, but there is no doubt that dream is the most naive, beautiful and lovely wish of human beings. Basic explanation: a pursuit in consciousness, the source of motivation. There is always a gap between reality and dreams, because there is a gap, so others will dream of dreams. Han Sima Xiangru's "Long Gate Fu": "Suddenly dreaming, feeling a gentleman." Liang Wudi of the Southern Dynasties wrote in Harmony: "I want Qu Qing to go out for a walk and enlighten me for the rest of my life. I failed because it was a waste of business. Delaying work and carrying dreams. " "Tang Yan Yan Yan Anger" by the kings of the Five Dynasties: "Although limited to mountains and rivers, I often dream." Gao Mingqi's "Living in Lu Hong": "Kaiyuan began to seek treatment, and Tessa worked hard for her dreams." 2. Ideal. He Qifang's poem "I sing for boys and girls": "I am full of dreams and yearning for life." Facing most people who escape from life, Du Shiyang, a life mentor and educator, lamented: "Most people don't have dreams, but lack the courage to face them!" For the power of dreams, Teacher Du Shiyang praised: "Dreams ignite the hope and enthusiasm of a person's life. Dreams make a person stand up and fight with courage and determination. Dreams inspire a person to ignore any difficulties ahead. Dreams inspire a person to persevere and never give up! " 3. fantasy; Delusion. Song Sushi's poem "To the Elders of Liang Qing Temple": "The old man dreams of going up the mountain, and the bells and drums are clearer after the rain." The fourth time in "Flower Moon Mark": "With vision, there is consciousness. When you are conscious, you will be hindered, frightened, changed and reversed, and your dream will come true. " Mao Dun's Midnight Eight: "Oh! You-Lao Feng, and this dream of enjoying happiness! In another year or two, your title deed will be given to others, and no one will appreciate it! "

It's hard to say what is impossible, because yesterday's dream can become today's hope or tomorrow's reality. People who want to express their dreams should be more sober. No matter how vague dreams are, they always lurk in our hearts, so that our mood will never be peaceful until these dreams come true. Youth is the happiest time in life, but this kind of happiness is often entirely because of being full of hope, not because of what you have gained or escaped. No matter which era, the characteristics of youth always embrace all kinds of ideals and fantasies. This is not a shortcoming, but a valuable quality. When I was young, I prepared materials and wanted to build a bridge to the moon, or two palaces or temples on the ground. Living to middle age, I finally decided to build a shed. Try to go up, the stars are hidden in the depths of your soul; Dream a distant dream, and each dream will surpass your goal. How natural it is to make youth anti-aging, long hair anti-baldness, enthusiasm anti-stale, and the future anti-past! Dreams are the driving force of a person's struggle, and dreams are the source of a person's motivation. If you want to achieve great things, you must act in addition to your dreams. 1.

Mrs Gandhi: "There are two kinds of people in the world: those who do things; Another kind of person takes credit. I will try to be the first person, because such people have no competitors. " It is said that Brooke in Austria lives in a poor country. Her mother died in her early years, and her father was later injured at work, so she was unable to continue to support her family. Together with her two younger brothers to support, the burden of family suddenly became Brooke's heavy responsibility. One day, a customer hurriedly took a pair of leather shoes with broken soles for Brooke to repair. Brooke's movements were skillful, and the soles were mended and nailed the next day. The customer stroked the shoes and said with emotion, "Young man, thank you for mending my shoes. This is the best pair of shoes that I have ever seen repaired. It is not only mended firmly, but also polished like new. " The nearby shoeshine whispered, "Brooke is really over-served." Customers only pay for repairing shoes. What's the advantage of polishing shoes so brightly? " So stupid, doomed to life down and out. "Brooke didn't care about these words, just continue to do their own work. He thinks it is enough to be considerate of customers, live up to his conscience and accept customers' money with peace of mind. Later, Brooke was hired by a leather shoes factory to repair defective leather shoes in the factory. Many years later, those who laughed at Brooke were still repairing shoes in the street. As for Brooke, she has been the production manager of the largest leather shoes factory in Austria. Successful people are usually generous, informal, practical and diligent, and willing to pay. Only by ignoring the immediate small interests, constantly accumulating their own experience, step by step to build their own future dreams. You want fate to give you a chance, and you want others to give you a chance. Before that, shouldn't you give others a chance with your own efforts and then slowly accumulate your dreams? Dreams help people overcome one difficulty after another and make people realize one wish after another! It enables people to live in a progressive society! Because there are dreams, people will realize their dreams and work hard! In today's society, if you don't have a dream, then you will not be able to stand in this society. In this competitive society, dreams play a very important role. People should realize this and work hard for it! As long as you believe, your dream will come true.

Edit the story of this dream

This is a story about dreams.

The endless sea can always arouse people's infinite reverie. What is on the other side of the sea? For those brave adventurers, the end of the sea is their dream, even those desperate pirates have their own dreams to fight for. "I want to be the first swordsman in the world who is famous in the sky!" -A third-rate swordsman (Sauron) said. "I want to make a map of the world that I have seen with my own eyes." -a strong girl (Nami) said. "I want to be a brave sea warrior." -a coward (liar) who always likes to brag said. "I must find the blue ocean." -A dashing chef (Xiang Jishi) said. "I want to be a doctor who can cure any disease." The shy reindeer (Qiao Ba) said. "I want one piece!" -A simple man with only dreams (Luffy) said. So, a group of pirates full of dreams set sail for the sea. At the age of four, a boy said to himself, "I want to be a cartoonist." Thus, the supernova in Mandan, Japan was born. Eiichiro Oda grew up under the influence of cartoons, and Eiichiro Oda began to create his own cartoons when he was in high school. His first cartoon was drawn on paper with a pencil. It was a story about pirates. Eiichiro Oda found himself in too many scenes on the theme of "pirates", so he secretly made up his mind to serialize his pirate cartoons in the first Japanese comic magazine "Weekly Youth jump". In order to improve his painting skills, Eiichiro Oda once worked as an assistant to three cartoonists, namely Kaitani Shinobu (Invincible Green Mountain), Dehong Yezheng (Unforeseen Mount Tai) and Nobuhiro Watsuki (Rogue Mark). As Nobuhiro Watsuki's assistant, Eiichiro Oda used his spare time to create a cartoon "Romantic Dawn" with the theme of pirates. Although it was not published, it became the embryonic form of One Piece. Nowadays, the sales volume of One Piece has exceeded 1 100 million copies, and Eiichiro Oda has climbed from the position of comic assistant in Nobuhiro Watsuki to the first place in the Japanese comic market. His One Piece was rated as "the hope of Japanese animation industry that is expected to catch up with Dragon Ball"! A passionate cartoon full of dreams and colorful colors guides many passionate teenagers! This is the One Piece! My dream is burning, and my bright future comes from hard work, just like a seedling born in spring, growing day by day; Laziness is like a grindstone. You can't see its harm, and it gets better every day. Rice barnyard grass is the bow, and barnyard grass is the head. Actions are more convincing, hard-working and confident than words. No matter what the result is, it is willing to accept happiness in hope, stick to its own path in suffering, and let others talk! Be happy and simple. Hope is pain, and the knowledge of playing music can change fate. Learning can create a lost future. If you want to surpass mulberries, you must surpass the highest peak and never be equal. Otherwise, stand at the lowest point in the world, learn to adapt, learn to be strong, survive in adaptation, grow up in strength, let go of your thoughts and burn your youth. If you go in the wrong direction, stopping is the source of my world, and my ideological world is inexhaustible. Don't take a person's value as the standard, look at what he has contributed, not what he has achieved. As long as you work hard and persist, you have laid the foundation for success and can change your destiny. Learning will lead to future failure. This is not terrible. The terrible thing is that there is no real confidence and action, which is the way to realize your dream. The highest state of survival of the fittest is to safeguard human dignity regardless of the time outside. Success depends on your own life, not the lack of beauty, but the lack of eyes to find beauty (every bit is a miracle). Don't do nothing with small good, and don't believe that I can do it with small evil. I am angry and might as well live up to others' happiness and create it myself.

Edit the interpretation of this dream

The following is Mr. Ma Tianfeng's interpretation of dreams in Sowing and Harvesting, an international success system of Network 2 1 Century (China): What is your dream? Dreams can't be said, they will be broken; Dreams can't be touched, but they hurt; Dreams are not ahead, but in the past; Dreams are not on the water, but buried in the depths. Sometimes dreams are not material, but spiritual; Sometimes dreams are not to show off, but to stay away from the hubbub; Sometimes it's not you who dream, but the person you love; Sometimes dreams are not before life, but after life. At the end of the song, people scattered and dreams appeared; Drunk and heartbroken, dreams are bright; Stick to it and survive, and your dream will come true; I've been there, I've seen it, and my dreams have been magnified. Dreams are not memories, but efforts to create the meaning of living; Dream is not to endure, but to roar, and decide not to wait from today; The dream is not to admit defeat, but to struggle and then live more smartly; The dream is not conservative, but willing to pay any price and then share it with everyone. The initial dream is not filial piety, but having time to accompany; The initial dream is not to spoil, but to have the ability to care; The first dream is not an argument, but a knowing smile; It turns out that dreams do not all come from bright motives, but often from gloomy incentives. Dreams are not on paper, not in the mouth, but in the drawer, in the heart; Dreams are not endless, but focused, focused and temporarily silent; The dream is not more flowers and applause, but that someone you respect can call out your name; The dream is not to do more, but to be proud of you from the heart of the people who love you.

Edit the meaning of this dream

Edit this dream, stop talking.

Many people "talk" about their dreams, but few people "dream". Few people take further action, and even if they do, they rarely stick to it. In the end, their dream is still a dream. This is also why young people dare to speak out their dreams, because young people forget when they say it, and they are not afraid of others laughing. So we often hear who is learning web pages, hoping that the next job will be to be a web designer, or who is learning flower arrangement, hoping to open a flower shop, or who is learning jewelry design, hoping that this will be the way of the future ... But after a year, when you mention this dream again, they will shake their hands and say, "It's not that simple, I won't be long." Is there a problem? In fact, they gave up automatically without even starting. In most people's dictionaries, dreams are defined as "thoughts", which flash by and come and go, so it is easy to dream and give up. "There are no rich people who are not in debt, but there are poor people everywhere who have never lost a dollar." People who give up their dreams easily think they are unscathed, but the life and death of an idea is actually more like a poor man who has never lost a dollar. In fact, dreams should be more like a person's "commitment" to his life, which must be seriously faced and practiced …

A successful person is one who can constantly accomplish his goals.

How can a person become a successful person? I believe that if you are not willing to be mediocre, you must have thought about this problem. Some people may say that a successful career is a successful person; Some people can think that earning more is a successful person; Others think that being respected is a successful person. . . Of course, you may have a different view. When more and more people began to achieve their goals on the website "2 1 day", they contacted Mr. Zhao of "2 1 day", who talked about his unique view on success: "A successful person is a person who can constantly accomplish his goals. Success is a broad topic. It is obviously unacceptable for modern people to measure a person's success by career success or money. Everyone has their own correct views, but a successful person must be someone who can constantly achieve his goals. " "A person may have many goals, including life, work, study and emotion. When he finishes his goal step by step, we can say that he is successful. However, when we were operating' 2 1 day', we found that many people didn't know how to set goals and how to achieve them effectively. Many people often had an anticlimactic three-minute fever, which seriously affected the realization of his goals. Therefore, we developed the' 21day training camp', which aims to help participants achieve their goals by improving their comprehensive quality and mobility in all aspects, and has achieved great results. " Teacher Zhao told Bian Xiao that, in fact, we should not compare with others, so we can easily deviate from our goals and finally regret it. We just need to act step by step according to our own plan. When we achieve our goal, we are already a successful person. I wish everyone can achieve their goals and realize their wishes.

Edit this five-step dream come true.

Dreams are the strongest desire hidden in people's hearts, lingering feelings and subconscious, and the driving force for people to succeed. Everyone has his own dream, his own desire and pursuit, perhaps the desire to have enough food and clothing one day, perhaps the ambition of Anbang to govern the country, perhaps the wishful thinking of traveling around the world ... but no matter what kind of dream, everyone wants to realize it, realize it. The five steps of "dreams come true" are the ways to lead us to create dreams and achieve future success. First of all, we should set up a dream that suits us. Know yourself, determine what you really want, and consciously set up your dreams. Because of your objective desire, it seems that you have built the sky, and dreams are like wings. With a vast space, dreams can be released from the bottom of my heart. There was once an ambitious young man who dreamed of inventing a universal solution that could dissolve all substances, but Andy asked him, what container are you going to use to hold this solution after it is developed? Dreams without factual basis can only be self-deception and fruitless. The second is meditation and analysis to decompose dreams. After establishing a dream that suits you, you should calm down and study and analyze your dream, decompose your dream, make effective plans and implementation strategies, and realize your dream step by step, which will make your dream seem out of reach. I don't remember a famous person who once said: The clearer and more detailed a person's dream goals are, the greater his chances of realizing them. The third step: self-confidence+hard work, chasing dreams. With the confidence that "the dream is not far away" and the courage to work hard, the dream will come true one day. Maybe in the process of trying to realize our dreams, we may encounter all kinds of setbacks and troubles, so we must stick to it. Don't lose confidence or stop chasing your dreams just because you think your dreams are out of reach. Only by perseverance can we grind iron bars into needles. Throughout human history, which all-powerful winner struggled for a while to realize his dream, or did it easily? ! Step 4: Learn from the example and crack the dream. Generally speaking, what kind of dreams we have, we must try our best to understand what kind of dreams have come true, and understand their growth experience and the process of realizing their dreams. Choose, absorb and digest their successful experience, so as to forge a key that suits you, break the lock of dreams and open the door to dreams come true. Because being good at learning from the successful experience of others means "standing on the shoulders of giants", so that we can see farther and act faster. Step 5: Seize the opportunity and realize your dream. Many people's success comes from inspiration, and many people can't realize their dreams because they didn't seize the opportunity when inspiration came. Opportunities are fleeting. Grasping it, you can realize your dreams, but it only favors people who have dreams and are mentally prepared. In the past, British scientist Newton thought there was a mysterious force for a long time, but he didn't know what kind of force it was. Until one day, Newton was thinking under the apple tree in the garden, and an apple fell at his feet. Newton finally got inspiration and took this opportunity to discover the law of gravity and realize his dream for many years. Dreams are like roses. For those who feel sorry for themselves, all they think about is its terrible thorn. For a confident person, what he thinks of is its fragrance and loveliness. Only those who are not afraid of being stabbed can really hold the rose and truly understand its beauty and preciousness! I hope everyone can have roses and their dreams come true!

20 1 1 Fujian college entrance examination perfect composition

"I love having a creative baby," Gide said. "I consume my feelings about beautiful things. Their brilliance comes from my constant burning, but it is a wonderful consumption. " This beautiful thing is the cause we created, and this consumption is our love. If it weren't for those dreams about rice, if it weren't for that kind of love, how could Yuan Longping accomplish great creation from the fields? Why should we use bony shoulders to provoke global satiety concerns? He loves his career because he cares about the whole world. He creates babies because of his love. Saint Exupery once said, "Creation is to exchange limited life for infinite things." A person who loves creation is often because of his persistent pursuit of some lasting value. This value, in Yuan Longping's mind, means that everyone in the world is satisfied, in Einstein's it means "scientific beauty", and in George Orwell's it means exposing all lies. Thoreau once told such a fable in Walden: "A craftsman wanted to be the perfect scepter, so he worked day and night for a hundred years, and finally the scepter became the most beautiful work in Brahma's world." Thoreau implies here that once we have determined that a creation is worth all our efforts, we should devote ourselves wholeheartedly, love it and pursue it firmly. Looking back at the long river of history, what great achievements did not come from the love of the creator? Beethoven's Symphony of Destiny is surging, Van Gogh's Red Sunflower, and even Newton's three laws, which one is not accompanied by the creator's surging passion and spread through the ages? I can't count the great creations made by love at all times and in all countries, but this prosperity is in shocking contrast with the dim light of creation at present. We have Yuan Longping, Wang Xuan and Qian Xuesen, but these science masters are old and there are fewer rising stars. Why? I think it is precisely because there are very few young people who are crazy about science itself. All we have is a group of students who work hard for fame and a paper certificate in the laboratory. Once they get the fame and fortune they want, they will stop and will not move forward in the dark. Similarly, in the field of literature, how many people can say as frankly as Sontag: "I write not because there are readers, but because there is literature"? A show, only looking at the red carpet and money, the author is more famous than the work everywhere. In the seemingly prosperous literary world, we only see fleeting "commodity literature", but I haven't even seen a work with creative light. We have long lost our indomitable enthusiasm for science, literature and even various other undertakings. So the baby died in the womb, isn't it very painful! Fortunately, we still have survivors who understand this truth. "Success or failure, ups and downs, ups and downs, will eventually die in front of death. What we see are things that will never change. " Jobs, the pioneer who led the IT industry, once said. Yes, those eternal things, the universal value of human beings, or the truth, goodness and beauty of science and art are the origin and destination of creation. When we are trapped in temporary gains and losses and don't think about whether to move forward, think of those souls who are always alive because of enthusiasm and silently say this sentence, "I love to have creative babies." Only in this way can we transcend the limited and mediocre life with our own creation.
