为未来加油Cheer for the Future
冰冷的夜来临了，那样清，那样静，就连微风吹过的声音也能让我听得一清二楚，哪怕是不远处那树叶飘落的声音，也听得很清晰。也许是心情的衬托，心情的寄语，才让那树叶飘落的吧。我不禁想道。叶子终有一天会离开树的，就像我们，总有一天会离开父母的怀抱，独自去面对社会中的种种挫折，去承受种种磨练，学会自己处理好一切，独立生活。
还记得刚从学校出来时，有好多同学在一起工作，大家在一起生活，那时真的很开心，可是，天下没有不散的宴席，分别的一天还是来了，同学们都因为受不了那种工厂里上班的生活，一个一个选择了离开，原来有9个人在一起的，到最后就只有一个人了留在了那里，然后大家东一个，西一个的，有的后来还失去了联系的，原本是好多人在一起的，突然只有自己一个人了，我躲在被窝里哭了起来，到那时才明白，这才是我独立面对我以后生活的一个开始，我要面对的还有很多很多…而我更应该学会去面对工作中的朋友，我的朋友不会只有同学，认识新的朋友，学会处理好生活中的种种，感觉真的好吃力。那时候还不敢和家人说，从员工到推销员，到现在的会计，可以说经历了好长好长的路，是我十八年来走的最多最多的路了。
期间，哭过，笑过，痛过，绝望过…可是却不敢想到放弃，如果我放弃了，那样我的人生就已经没有价值了，我才十八岁呀，我的人生还很长，而我的命运握在我自己的手中，我怎么敢松开双手来寻求一时的快活，而丢失了一辈子的人生呀，坚持，我告诉自己，我要坚持，因为我要自己的人生充满色彩，而不是一层不变的黑色，白色，为未来加油吧！我可以的，相信你们也可以，21世纪的新青年，我们一起努力为我们的未来加油!
The cold night has arrived, so clear, so still that I can hear with perfect clarity even the sound of the breeze passing, even the sound of leaves drifting down from the tree not far away. Perhaps it is the mood setting the scene, the mood entrusting its message, that lets those leaves fall. I cannot help thinking: a leaf must one day leave its tree, just as we must one day leave our parents’ embrace to face alone the many setbacks of society, to bear all kinds of tempering, to learn to handle everything ourselves and live on our own.
I still remember when I first came out of school, with so many classmates working together, all of us living together; those days were truly happy. But no feast under heaven lasts forever, and the day of parting came all the same. Unable to bear that life of factory shifts, my classmates chose to leave one after another. Nine of us had been together at first; in the end only one remained there. And then we scattered, one east, one west, and with some the contact was later lost altogether. Where once there were so many of us together, suddenly I was on my own. I hid under my quilt and cried, and only then did I understand: this was merely the beginning of facing my future life alone, and there was still so very much ahead for me to face… And I ought all the more to learn to make friends at work; my friends will not only be classmates. Meeting new friends, learning to manage all the affairs of life, it honestly feels so strenuous. Back then I did not even dare tell my family. From ordinary worker to salesperson to the accountant I am now, you could say it has been a long, long road, the longest I have walked in all my eighteen years.
Along the way I have cried, laughed, hurt, despaired… yet I never dared think of giving up. If I gave up, my life would already be without worth. I am only eighteen; my life is still long, and my fate is held in my own hands. How could I dare loosen my grip for a moment’s pleasure and lose a whole lifetime? Persist, I tell myself, I must persist, because I want my life to be full of color, not an unchanging black and white. Cheer for the future! I can do it, and I believe you can too. New youth of the 21st century, let us strive together and cheer for our future!
