Ideal

Ideal is a stone, knocking out a spark;

Ideal is a fire, igniting an extinguished lamp;

Ideal is a lamp, lighting up the road at night;

Ideal is a road, leading you to dawn.

In an era of hunger and cold, the ideal is food and clothing;

In an era of food and clothing, the ideal is civilization.

In an era of chaos, the ideal is stability.

In a stable era, the ideal is prosperity.

Ideals are like pearls, one connected to the other.

Threading through the past and present, they string together the future, and their gleaming light is endless.

A beautiful string of pearls, the backbone of history,

The past reflects on the present, the present reflects on the future, and the ancestors reflect on the descendants.

Ideal is a compass, guiding the direction of the ship;

Ideal is a ship, carrying you on a long journey to the sea.

But sometimes ideals are like the arc of the sea and the sky kissing each other.

It is just out of reach, torturing your enterprising heart.

Ideals make you observe life with a smile;

Ideals make you stubbornly resist fate.

Ideals make you forget your premature gray hair;

Ideals make you still naive when your hair is gray.

Ideal is an alarm clock, crushing your golden dream;

Ideal is soap, washing away your selfish heart.

Ideal is both a kind of gain,

Ideal is also a kind of sacrifice.

If ideals bring you honor,

it is just a by-product of it,

but more importantly, it brings misunderstood loneliness,

The laughter in loneliness, the bitterness in laughter.

Ideals make loyal people often suffer misfortune;

Ideals make unfortunate people survive in desperate situations.

Ordinary people become great because they have ideals;

A person with ideals is a "capital person".

There are always people in the world who abandon their ideals,

Ideals never abandon anyone.

To give sinners new life, the ideal is the resurrecting fairy grass;

To call the prodigal son back, the ideal is the loving mother.

If your ideal has been tarnished, there is no need to be resentful.

That is the devil testing your steadfastness;

If your ideal has been stolen, there is no need to cry.

Go find it quickly and be careful in the future!

A hero loses his ideals and turns into a mediocre person,

boasting about his achievements in the past;

A mediocre person loses his ideals and turns into a mediocre person all his life.

Cursing the environment in front of him ridiculously.

Ideal for flowering, peaches and plums will bear sweet fruits;

Ideal for budding, elms and poplars will have deep shade.

Please ride on your ideal horse and set off with a whip.

The spring scenery is just right on the road and the sun is sunny in the sky.
