Taking a look around, we can easily find some students dreaming of their brilliant future but unwilling to attend classes or to do homework, some netizens worried about the fate of our nation but refusing to better themselves first, some officials claiming their determinations in making our society a better place but reluctant to give up parts of their own interests. Such phenomena collectively reflect the fact that some modern citizens, especially a number of young people, lack the spirit of “think big, down to earth“. This can be chiefly due to the fact that these people are so lazy and blind that they are only in want of a fruitful outcome but never make any efforts. As a famous saying goes, you reap what you sow. Those who wants to fly but forget the power of the gravity will be sure to fall down on the ground and hurt badly as a result.According, I suppose it is imperative for us young people to understand that all that matters to us now should be to better ourselves.

Those basic skills may look simple to learn, but without them it will not be simple at all to achieve further goals.To sum up, we should think highly of the importance of basic and fundamental skills that guarantee our wonderful and brilliant future. Furthermore, we should make full use of those elementary skills, consciously applying them in our works and life. Basic skill will never be outdated.The importance of reading literatureAs is humorously portrayed in the cartoon, a teacher is handing a classic literature book to a student, asking the student to “just read it as if you are reading a long text message.” Obviously, the symbolical meaning of this picture is to show us the importance of reading literature.It should be generally acknowledged that classic literature plays a significant role not only in preserving the essence of great minds but also in enhancing the quality of ones life. To begin with, literature as the collection of gr
