《Fisherman and Boat in Storm》- Painted by dawnxisoul393
First Part:
On the beach, after meditation, we set up easels and prepared to paint. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the sea was like an enraged giant. The sea breeze rolled up huge waves one after another, slapped the rocks in the sea, splashed waves several meters high, and made an incredible sound. Suddenly, a small fishing boat appeared in the strong wind and waves. A fisherman on the fishing boat was casting a net to catch fish. Obviously, although the storm raged, the fisherman's mood seemed very calm, as if nothing had happened. In the vast sea, the wind kept blowing, and small fishing boats and seagulls flew arrogantly together. Sometimes the bow of the boat collided with the waves, and another time, with the ups and downs of the waves, the boat went straight to the sky. The small fishing boat and fisherman bravely battled the wind and waves. Strong winds howled and threw layers of huge waves onto the reefs as a shattering mist.

The small fishing boat flew like lightning and walked through the waves, like a proud seagull in the storm, excited about the victory of fighting the storm. Soon the wind stopped and the waves leveled. What we have just experienced is an exciting scene. We put up the easels that had just been blown down by the strong wind and continued to draw. After staying on the beach for a long time, the paintings on the drawing board have been completed. Suddenly, we thought of the scene just now, and we couldn't calm down for a long time... The sea purified our souls. The strong will of that fisherman is a mirror of our life. In our life, no matter what happens, even if the situation is difficult to control, we should keep calm. In the future, when we encounter difficulties and setbacks, we will think of the sea and the small fishing boat.

In a long life, no matter career or family, it can't be plain sailing. We need to survive and develop in adversity. We believe that there must be cracks in life, and then the sun can shine in. Life is to fly against the wind, like seagulls, bravely open their wings and calmly face adversity. Life is training, brave to work hard, brave to refuel, brave to cry, brave to laugh and complete our life value in a limited life. When we encounter difficulties, it shows that the front is where the truth lies. Don't give up, life, sometimes need precipitation, but more need experience. Only with enough experience can we grow up and make ourselves more perfect, wiser, and mature. After the wind and rain, there is a beautiful rainbow, after the severe cold, there is the fragrance of plum blossom. We can find relaxation in pain, we can find happiness in fatigue. No matter how big the storm stops, no matter how big the dark clouds can't cover the sun forever.

Second Part:
Although the road of life ahead of us is far and long, our direction, pace, and pursuit are still there. All suffering is meant to make our lives more exciting. We suffer because we are making progress toward success. On the road of life, setbacks are inevitable, just like fishermen on fishing boats encounter storms. When we encounter setbacks, difficulties, sadness, and frustration, we should not lose faith. We should be as calm as fishermen. The process of growing up is to go from familiar territory to an unknown territory. A life without setbacks is never a perfect life. When we overcome setbacks, we will have a deeper understanding of success. Every pool has the taste of the sea, every leaf has the secret of the forest, every stone has the mark of the mountain, and every river has dangerous beaches and rapids.

There are always ups and downs in life. Growing up is about exercising yourself in one big storm after another and becoming a strong and brave person. Without the baptism of the storm, our feet seem to walk on a flat road, easier to walk on than a muddy one, but in the end, it doesn't leave any traces. Do what we want to do, love what we want to love. Do the wrong thing, don't regret it, don't complain. When we fall down, get up and start again, we believe we will walk more steadily next time. When the grass breaks through the earth with its perseverance, when the flowers bloom with beautiful smiles, when the notes of the times play a great symphony, these are all happy experiences, but when we are extremely sad, isn't this just another wonderful experience of life? All of us have experienced grief, and those with big hearts see it as the cornerstone of their re-emergence.

Grief is the cold wind, and strength is the majestic pine tree standing in the cold wind. Grief is the storm, and strength is the rainbow after the storm. Without strength, how can we have happiness? If fate breaks the sail of hope, we should not despair, because the shore is still there; if fate withers the beautiful flowers, we should not sink, because the spring is still ahead. The willow tree withered, will be green again when spring comes, the flower withered, will open again when spring comes. Depression is the certificate of a coward, and struggle is the passport of a warrior. A wise man said: "When I go out, the hut is the starting point of my happiness. When I return, the hut is the home of my happiness. I go back and forth between happiness and bliss. What's wrong with that?" Successful people often have this optimistic attitude. A seagull flying on the vast ocean must have experienced the pain of being thrown off a cliff by its mother numerous times before casting a pair of wings to fly.

Those brilliant pearls in the sea must have experienced countless times of clam peristalsis and countless times of wind and waves before they can shine. In the embrace of the sea, we are calming our once impetuous heart. If there is a kind of jewelry, mellow, tough, noble and romantic, classic and fashionable, it is pearl. We like pearls and appreciate the spirit behind them. When a grain of gravel is deeply trapped in the soft body of the pearl clam, over the years, the pearl clam wraps the gravel layer by layer with its own life and tenderness, overcoming hardness with softness, and finally, the gravel becomes a round pearl. This process is the same as when we encounter difficulties in life. We bear it in our own way, overcome it, resolve it, and finally take on a new look. Therefore, a pearl is a gift from nature, and suffering is an accident arranged by God for us.
Third Part:
In life, each of us has the opportunity to become a pearl. The reason why a pearl is that it has suffered a lot. No matter what kind of adversity, it is patient and persistent. When it passes through the darkness of a long stage of life, it naturally ushers in a glorious and beautiful time. There are many people who like pearls in life. Before they become pearls, they are ordinary sand and stone in the sea. Behind the brilliance of any pearl, it is destined to be all kinds of pain. Before the light shines, it must go through a long night. By the docks of some small islands in Hong Kong, we occasionally see some small stalls selling live pearls. There is a wooden bucket on the small stall. There are pearl shells in the wooden bucket. Each pearl shell sells for dozens of Hong Kong dollars. After tourists choose the pearl shell, the fishermen dig it up and touch a pearl on the spot, just like a lottery. People with good luck will touch a big pearl.

Fishermen said that these pearls were planted in the sea at the same time, but some are very round, some are crooked, some are large and some are small. Even the fishermen who planted pearls do not know the reason. Thinking that the sand and stone in the pearl shell will grow into different pearls, our life is the same. We are also frustrated, but there are always some people who can become the largest and most beautiful pearls. The people who can really make achievements must be those who have fallen countless times and then stood up again. For each of us, pain is not terrible. The terrible thing is that you lose confidence and courage in life. In the face of misfortune, none of us can flinch. Life is our own, and our destiny is in our own hands. The setback is a wealth of life and good medicine to promote our success. How can flowers be gorgeous without experiencing wind and rain? How can a life without suffering be glorious?

Beethoven suffered all his life and was deaf in his later years, but he still wrote music handed down from generation to generation. Facing such a great Beethoven, our hearts are filled with infinite emotion. Beethoven's body and mind are tortured by a tragic fate. He is facing the hostile city of Vienna. Music is cheered, but difficulties are ignored. This is Beethoven's miserable life. Deafness is an irreparable disaster for a musician, which not only affects his work but also makes him feel lonely and helpless, which may be a reason for Beethoven's rebellious character. Beethoven wrote in his letter that he walked with Goethe and met his royal relatives and that he didn't care about his royal relatives, which fully showed Beethoven's rebellion. Beethoven, a deaf man who loved music, overcame great difficulties, withstood cruel fate, and created many immortal masterpieces such as moonlight.

Beethoven wrote the immortal Ode to joy in the last days of his life. When we look back on the twists and turns of our own life in the moonlight and feel sad, he will come to us like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes. He will play a moonlight song on the piano to comfort us crying. When we overcome difficulties and obstacles, but still can't reach the goal and feel pain, he will play a song of Ode to joy with high morale, Give us joy, courage. Beethoven, thank you for letting us out of sadness and giving us the courage and determination to overcome difficulties. Your rebellion, your kindness, and your strong will to overcome setbacks always inspire us to move forward. We look back on the most pitiful musician in childhood. Beethoven's father himself was frustrated and loved drinking. He was eager for his son to become "Mozart's second".
Fourth Part:
Beethoven's father often caught Beethoven in the middle of the night and locked him in the room to force him to practice the piano. If he couldn't play well, he would slap him. We can't help asking, is this the reason why Beethoven was deaf? In 1796, Beethoven, at the age of 26, began to have tinnitus. The year before last, he won the attention of Viennese people with Piano Concerto No. 2. At this moment, even the idea of Symphony No. 3 hero has not jumped out, he has encountered this most embarrassing problem. Fortunately, Beethoven's willpower is strong enough. He firmly believes that only his art can keep his life. If he doesn't release everything in his heart, he can't leave the world. It is because of this unspeakable secret that Beethoven escaped into his music world and thoroughly carried forward his enthusiasm and talent in music. Beethoven's really great masterpieces came out after he lost his hearing.
Haydn wrote more than 100 symphonies, Beethoven only nine, Mozart wrote more than 20 piano concertos, and Beethoven only five, which tells us the secret of facing work, emphasizing quality rather than weight. Beethoven's creation is not to satisfy the princes and nobles who reward him with money, let alone think of any great ideas. As he said, he has never thought that writing music is for fame and glory. The blocks accumulated in his chest have to spit out and then quickly, which is the reason why he composed music. Beethoven has few works (only 138 numbered works approved and published by him), mainly because his composition speed is very slow. Compared with Mozart's three symphonies (No. 39 to No. 41), it was completed in six weeks. Looking at the first movement of Beethoven's "hero" Symphony, it took three years to complete.

We can see how Beethoven spent a long time chanting a sound from the traces of painting and modification on Beethoven's manuscript. Therefore, his nine symphonies can become an insurmountable mountain, which makes future composers feel pressure. Beethoven can make music tell stories because he injects his ideas into his works, which can naturally provide listeners with great imagination space. Bach's music is like writing a textbook, practicing all the composing techniques over and over again. It is difficult to hear the stories in the music. Mozart's endless stream of natural melody is inspired by God. However, Beethoven writes music for ordinary people. Although he simply uses notes to reflect his own thoughts and feelings, he has this power, Let Beethoven become one of the greatest composers of all time.
In 1802, Beethoven, 32, wrote his suicide note because of his ear disease. Fortunately, it was written, but he didn't commit suicide in the end, otherwise, we could only hear his Symphony No. 2. Beethoven transformed his misfortune into a great masterpiece and persisted until he was 57. Beethoven's music expounds on the eternal value of life for us. We people living on the island understand that danger always exists at sea, and no one knows what will happen next minute. But the fishermen still braved the wind and waves and sailed every day. As long as you have courage in your heart, any storm can be overcome. Over the years, we have gone through a very tortuous road. We have experienced many things along the way, including sadness, crying, stumbling, and countless hardships.

But now these are not important, because anyway, we have come. We know that although we hope to always be sunny days, gloomy days are inevitable. With the people we love, supporting each other, happy and encouraging, tears and laughter all the way, gradually go farther and farther.
The End
