Write a composition of 1000 words on the topic of experiencing ups and downs.

When we are young, the road of life is undoubtedly flat and broad for us. When I grew up, I began to leave my parents' umbrella and walk alone, facing life directly. Only then did I suddenly realize that the road under my feet was so tortuous.

In the face of ups and downs, when you can neither retreat nor detour, you have no choice but to go forward bravely.

I have a friend who failed the college entrance examination twice. Arguably, this blow is big enough. But he didn't collapse or even sink. He loves literature very much. After returning home, he engaged in heavy farm work while studying hard and delving into literary creation. Two years later, he went to work in the south to "escape marriage". During his working days, he did all his work and suffered a lot. He gritted his teeth and survived. One day, he learned in Guangzhou Daily that a newspaper wanted an editor and reporter, and he dared to apply for it, bringing his "works" published in middle school and after graduation. He was one of more than 80 applicants who were finally hired after written examination and interview. The other two are graduates from famous universities. He worked in that newspaper for more than a year and was recommended by a famous old writer in Beijing to work in an excellent children's periodical agency in Guangdong. During this period, he won many editorial awards and published many influential children's literature works.

After becoming an editorial reporter, his living conditions have been greatly improved compared with those of picking earthworks and doing construction work, but there are still many obstacles behind the appearance of "scenery" that outsiders don't know. In the magazine, he has no formal establishment and no corresponding welfare treatment. The salary is not high, so he can't afford to rent a house. He can only sleep in the office secretly. He has a movable bed. In order not to let the boss find it, he put it on the roof of the office building. Every day when a colleague gets off work, he also gets off work, slips around outside and comes back to make the bed; Get up early the next morning, "hide" in bed, go out for breakfast, and then come to work with colleagues. That summer, I went to Guangdong to contact and publish one of my books, and I was lucky enough to squeeze through the narrow folding bed with him. His office is extremely hot, and there are surprisingly many mosquitoes. I didn't sleep well all night, but he slept well. I think he is used to mosquito abuse. Due to long-term running away from home and limited conditions, he can't take care of himself well and suffers from severe colitis. He was not knocked down by life, but continued to work hard while eating Chinese medicine brought from his hometown. Like a wandering tree, it took root and sprouted in a foreign land in Guangdong, stretching out a sky of its own.

The wisdom of life

Last year, our unit hosted a national academic journal seminar with high standards. His appearance brought me another surprise. It turned out that he had left the previous children's newspaper. In order to learn more knowledge when he was young, he studied at Wuhan University for one year at his own expense and then joined an academic journal club. Thanks to his hard work and diligent study, he has now become the editorial backbone of that periodical. And his academic papers often win prizes. From a failure in college entrance examination to an excellent editor of children's periodicals; From an ordinary editorial reporter to the editorial backbone of large academic journals; From general literary creation to high-level academic research, only his own heart knows how many puddles and muddy he has walked, how many hardships and frustrations he has walked, and how many blood and tears he has paid.

The deeds of friends eloquently prove that no matter how bumpy the road is, you can still walk through it as long as you bite your teeth. Rough is not terrible, what is terrible is that you don't have enough courage to overcome it in the face of rough.

The stream in the mountain stream, after bypassing Qian Shan Wangu, is greeted by the jumping and rolling of the river and the magnificence of the sea. Life is the same, behind the ups and downs, there is often a charming scenery. There is no turning back in life. It's not up to you to advance and retreat. Success or failure depends on whether you can go through the ups and downs smoothly.
