                                                                                                            不畏困难
        人们的脚步走向成功时,往往会遇到一些困难。有的人战胜了困难,最终成为事业的成功者;而有的人却畏惧困难,对事业冷冷淡淡、毫无信心,最终成为一个精神堕落的流浪汉。所以我认为,不管在什么情况下,遇到什么困难,都不应该畏惧。
        被誉为“当代神农氏”的科学家袁隆平,他掀起的粮食生产业的“绿色革命”席卷了神州,震惊了世界。他从一个普通的农村教师到取得划时代的科学成就,历经了漫长的岁月,终于在这场艰难曲折高度复杂的科学实践中脱颖而出。如果他畏惧了困难,就不会取得这样大的成就,而且更不会被誉为“当代神农氏”的称号。
