“Chinese travel”持续成为热搜不意外，眼见为实。

两个人一起旅行。
一个人拿着书本，查景点、看攻略，生怕错过任何“值得去”的地方；
另一个人只是静静地坐着，看着眼前的风景，任由时间流淌。
前者是 tourist（游客），后者是 traveller（旅行者）。
这让我想到，很多时候，我们的语言里，其实应该衍生出更多精准表达的字眼，去描述不同的状态、不同的体验，而不只是活在过去的框架里。
别总是回头看历史，往前走，我们也可以创造新的语言，新的表达方式，甚至新的世界。

Life is like a long journey, and each of us is a traveler. On this road, falling is inevitable. It may be the difficulties in academics, the setbacks in the workplace, or the twists and turns in relationships. These "falls" will temporarily plunge us into confusion and loss.
However, never be afraid! Every fall is an opportunity for growth, a moment when fate gives us a chance to re - examine ourselves and accumulate strength. Just like a fledgling eagle learning to fly, countless falls can only be exchanged for the freedom to soar in the sky. When we grope in the dark, we should have such a belief in our hearts: as long as we spread our wings and fly, we can break through the haze.
Your sky is full of hope. Every hard - working star is lighting the way for you. Don't let the difficulties in front of you blind your eyes. Believe that after the wind and rain, a gorgeous rainbow will greet you. Stand up bravely again, pat the dust off your body, and soar towards the dream in your heart! Because that vast sky belonging to you is waiting for you to write a wonderful chapter.

On this long and unknown journey of life, we often find ourselves in confusion and difficulties. Sometimes, it's the huge pressure at work. The deadline of a project is approaching, but the progress is extremely difficult. It seems as if we are in a dark maze and can't find the way out. Sometimes, it's the trivial troubles in life, such as family conflicts and financial burdens, which make us physically and mentally exhausted and lose confidence in the future. At these moments, we are like travelers who have lost their way in the dark, lonely and helpless.
However, when we feel lost in the dark, we might as well look up and gaze at the starry sky. The vast starry sky is twinkling with stars, and each star seems to be a revelation from the universe. They shine in the night sky, traversing endless time and space, and sending their faint but firm light to our eyes. In ancient times, sailors relied on the stars to identify directions and found their way forward in the vast ocean. Today, the starry sky still has a unique power. It can make us temporarily withdraw from the busyness and anxiety, return to the peace of our hearts, and re - examine our lives and directions.
The famous physicist Stephen Hawking fought tenaciously against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) throughout his life. The gradual paralysis of his body greatly restricted his movement and expression, but he never gave up exploring the universe. During those difficult days, he perhaps often looked up at the starry sky and drew inspiration and strength from the mysterious universe. With his extraordinary perseverance and love for science, he proposed a series of groundbreaking theories such as the black - hole theory from his wheelchair, opening a new door for humanity to understand the universe. For Hawking, the starry sky was not only the object of his research but also the spiritual pillar that enabled him to persevere in difficult situations, guiding him to keep moving forward on the path of science.
When we encounter setbacks in life and feel isolated and helpless, the starry sky is silently accompanying us. It makes us understand that the difficulties we experience are just a brief moment in the face of the vast universe. Those twinkling stars are like the seeds of hope, reminding us not to give up. No matter how difficult life is, there is always a beam of light waiting for us ahead. As long as we hold hope in our hearts and firm our beliefs, we will surely be able to find our own way.
So, the next time you are overwhelmed by the pressure of life and lose your way in the dark, don't forget to look up at the starry sky. It will use its eternal light to dispel the haze in your heart and guide you forward. Let us follow the guidance of the starry sky, bravely take steps, pursue our own dreams, and shine our own light on the path of life.

In the magnificent picture of life, failure is an inevitable gloomy stroke. Everyone has moments when they are shrouded in the haze of failure, and it doesn't feel good. Perhaps you have studied day and night for an important exam, but the result is not satisfactory; perhaps you have put a lot of effort into starting a business, but it fails due to the rapidly changing market; or perhaps on the way to pursue your dreams, you have encountered doubts and denials from all sides, making your steps forward heavy. The frustration, loss, and self - doubt brought by failure are like cold tides, wrapping us layer by layer.
But believe that after the storm, there will surely be a gorgeous rainbow; after failure, you will become stronger. Take Michael Jordan, the basketball superstar, as an example. He didn't even make the high - school basketball team when he was in high school, which was undoubtedly a heavy failure. However, this failure didn't defeat him. Instead, it inspired the fighting spirit deep inside him. He didn't complain about the unfairness of fate but regarded failure as a ladder to growth. Through continuous hard training, he improved his basketball skills and mental qualities. In his subsequent career, he led his team to win championships many times and became a legend in basketball history. It was precisely that failure that made him learn perseverance and 铸就 his later glory.
In the business field, the process of Jack Ma founding Alibaba was also full of hardships. He traveled around to seek investment but was repeatedly rejected. Some even thought his ideas were absurd. But Jack Ma was not defeated by these failures. He summarized experience from each setback and continuously adjusted his business strategies. He firmly believed that the Internet had great development potential in China. With this firm belief and tenacious perseverance, he finally successfully built Alibaba, a globally renowned e - commerce enterprise. Jack Ma's experience tells us that failure is not terrible. It is a stepping - stone on the road to success. As long as we can draw strength from failure, we will surely be able to achieve our goals.
When we encounter failure, first, we must face it squarely. Don't avoid it or immerse ourselves in pain and be unable to extricate ourselves. We should calm down and analyze the reasons for failure. Is it due to our own lack of ability, the influence of the external environment, or a wrong decision - making? Only by finding the root of the problem can we make targeted improvements and enhancements. Secondly, we should maintain a positive and optimistic attitude and believe in our ability to overcome difficulties. Failure is only temporary. It is a kind of tempering given to us by life, allowing us to learn and grow in setbacks. Finally, we must take action, transform the experience and lessons learned from failure into practical actions, bravely try again, and move forward firmly towards our goals.
On the road of life, wind, rain, and sunshine always alternate. Every failure is an opportunity for growth, which makes us constantly temper ourselves in setbacks and become stronger. As Emerson said, "Every 挫折 or adverse mutation comes with the same or greater beneficial seeds." Balzac also said, "挫折 is like a stone. For the weak, it is a stumbling block that stops you from moving forward; for the strong, it is a stepping - stone that makes you stand higher." When we have experienced the baptism of wind and rain and look up again, we will find that the rainbow after the rain is so dazzling. And we, too, have become better ourselves under the tempering of failure. So, don't be afraid of failure. Bravely meet the challenges, because the rainbow after the storm is more dazzling, and you are stronger after failure. Let us carry firm beliefs and shine our own light on the stage of life.
