Reading “The Old Man and the Sea” stems from a piano test that has experienced twists and turns.
Uncovering the piano board, the keys are black and white, and they are reflected in the eyes, and the thoughts return to the past…
After going through the ups and downs, the piano has already reached the fifth grade, and I will take the sixth grade this year. Under the hard work of my mother, I finally found an extremely strict piano teacher.
When the piano teacher gave the lecture in the first month, he gave me a score. I glanced at it. Wow, a lot of notes danced on the staff in a variety of ways. I was shocked by the scene before me. “Try it,” he said blankly. This piece is quite difficult. The first time I bounced, I was so stagnant and ridiculous. When I just hit half of it, I was interrupted by the teacher. He slammed the music sheet and said coldly: “What are you playing, it is making noise? The first time I played, I wouldn’t have to play such a mess. Go back and practice!” The teacher poured a cold water on me.
I practiced for a whole week. When I went to class again, I was preparing for the teacher to accept it. I didn’t expect him to give me a more difficult score. “Try it.” The teacher did not mention the last score. This surprised me, so I bounced and slammed, and the intermittent sound of the piano made me feel uneasy, depressed and discouraged. I couldn’t help it anymore. I suddenly rushed out of the piano room and went to the balcony and burst into tears. Am I really not playing the piano? A “self-doubt” thought sprouted from my heart. Then the teacher followed. I made up my mind and told the teacher that I chose to give up. The teacher asked me to go home and read a book about “The Old Man and the Sea.” He said: “After reading this book, you will come back and tell me one month later, you choose to give up. Still choose to bravely go forward!”
The book tells an old man that he made a living by fishing, but once he was connected to a fish for 84 days. With the help of firm belief and superb technology, the old man won only on the 87th day. He alone caught a large marlin with a weight of more than 1,000 pounds and finally won a material and spiritual double victory. But in the long hundred days in front of the favorite thing, he had no complaints, and he was positive. In order to catch the colossal marlin, his hands were broken and he was soaked in salt water. He was hungry. If you are weak, simply eat a large chunk of raw fish. The fish that was tied to the boat on the way back were shivered by sharks. When they returned to the fishing port, there was only one empty spine.
What is commendable is that he is optimistic to create a solid iron spear and use it to deal with those disgusting scums in the case of the use of his own hard work.
On this crossroad that is critical to the exam, don’t we beat ourselves like San Diego. Is it that I can only choose to back down in the face of difficulties.
Do not! Do not! I will not give up easily. My fingers kept “dancing” on the piano. My eyes showed the strong eyes of the old man. It was an invisible force that spurred and inspired me at the moment.
I can’t forget the old man and the sea. I can’t forget the scene of resistance. I can’t forget the dignity and courage of the unyielding person. Because I always feel that life is the sea, what I have to do is the old man who persists in the goal…
A month later, I took my hard work to go to class. I firmly told the teacher: “I chose to continue to work forward!” So, I bounced confidently, I can play so beautiful, so superb! The teacher asked me to play the first one. I still showed a super high standard performance… The performance ended and the teacher satisfactorily nodded. “Is this your affirmation of the song I played?” The teacher replied with a smile. Me: “Your success is not only in the song you play, but also in the spirit of the old man!”
Today, I have a special feeling for the piano, always like to play in front of it.
Looking back, I have something as important. If I give up easily at the beginning, what else can I get? The eternal value is just a slap in the face.
The old man once again propped up the ship and sailed to the center of the sea. He used his sly body to explain the meaning of persistence to people…
