With our economy growing fast,there are two kinds of people in society.Some are the people who search for wealth and fame as the best motivation and reward for there achievement,like Guo Meimei and the mammonists.And some put emphasis on the sense of happiness and fulfillment from their success such as the tennis player Li Na and the singer Lin Youjia who has joined the army recently.In my opinion,I am in favour of the last.
Our attention should be paid to the process to success instead of the result.In a way,we are eager for spiritual satisfaction from success but not success itself.And then we try to get it from the process to success.There’s an example.During the Tang dynasty, a poet who called Jia Dao was riding a donkey through the city street,a portion of a poem came into his head like this”The bird sit on the tree branch near a pond.A monk approaches and knocks at the gate......”.He wondered if the word”push”would be better than”knock”in his poem.It was a hard process to wonder it.Jia Dao imitated the a ction of”push”and”knock”from time to time.Finally,with the help of Han Yu,a scholar and author prose himself,Jia Dao chose”knock”.The process to make a poem give Jia Dao space to thing deeply and brought the joys of making poems to Jia Dao.And Jia Dao who has absorbed in his poems was devoted to making his poems wonderful instead of using them to get wealth or fame.It’s because the process to make poems which was full of happiness and fulfillment that Jia Dao made efforts to poems.
Now,let’s turn to science.A famous writer called Wang Xiaobo once said,”Science is a process of continuous exploration.”Then I think Edison is typical example. It’s universally acknowledged that Edison invented the light bulb.But before he invented it,he had failed one thousands a nd five hundred times.Even that,he didn’t give up.Eventually,Edison had a breakthrough.Can we say what he did for human was to seek wealth and fame?Certainly not!It’s obvious that Edison who was often discouraged from studying science in his childhood occupied all his life in science due to his interests and spiritual satisfaction.And more than 1000 inventions that Edison invented proved that he enjoyed science.
Generally speaking,there is no fault for people to seek wealth and fame.They fix their eyes on the result of success,it is the formal requirement for living.While the sense of happiness and fulfillment will never stop increasing our enthusiasm for life.It’ll prove to be the more important motivation and reward for our achievement.
