6、 we should confront the adversity properly.robinson crusoes life is full of legends. he was born in a good family in the city of york. owing to his rambling thoughts about going to the sea, he broke loose to be a sailor against his parents will. unfortunately, he was caught by the morning and became

7、 a slave at the african shore. because of the unbearable life, he escaped from his patron in a boat. then he was saved by a freighter. and he was sent to brazils safely. he became rich by plantation. but when some one suggested going to the sea to buy and sell negroes, he surrendered himself to his

8、dream again. then he stepped on his way to navigation to africa. on the way there, they were caught in a violent storm, which brought death to everyone except robinson. he was driven by the current and drifted to an island and was saved. since then he began his life on the island.robinsons life on t

9、he island is the most wonderful part of the whole story. robinsons twenty-eight years life on the island is acclaimed as the acme of perfection. confronting such an adversity, robinson showed his amazing willpower and staunch life-force. he also showed people how to deal with adversity in life. unde

10、r such an adverse circumstance, he overcame various difficulties and created splendor of his life. nowadays, people will not have robinsons experiences. but people will run into various adversities. how will people confront adversity? in real life, nobodys life is plain sailing. there will always be

11、 some bump or adversity. when people are thrown into such surroundings, they are always full of remorse, not knowing what to do. learning from robinsons experiences, people should learn his methods and attitudes towards adversity, confront adversity properly and create splendor of their own lives. i

12、. robinsons attitudes towards the adversity reflected from his twenty-eight years life on the islandrobinsons life is full of various adversities, and especially his 28 years life on the island is the most arduous one of the all. and the experience of living on the island can show best his attitudes

13、 towards the adversity. it is showed in the following aspects:a . learning to lose in adversityrobinson is not a person who was born with courage to confront the adversity. he is not a man who is eager to live stably. but owing to his rebellious thoughts about sailing, he is always faced with variou

14、s adversities. why can he deal with the adversity well? it is his attitude that is the most important factor.when the adversity comes, is he happy? no. just as he said, he had a dismal prospect of his condition. it is easy to see that robinson also felt miserable. though the adversity came unexpecte

15、dly, and robinson also complained about his condition in the beginning, he can convert his thought to another one:but something always returned swift upon me to check these thoughts, and to reprove me; and particularly one day, walking with my gun in my hand by the seaside, i was very pensive upon t

16、he subject of my present condition, when reason, as it were, expostulated with me tother way, thus: “well, you are in a desolate condition, tis true, but pray remember, where are the rest of you? did not you come eleven of you into the boat? where are the ten? why were not they saved and you lost? w

17、hy were you singled out? is it better to be here, or there?” and then i pointed to the sea. all evils are to be considered with the good that is in them and with what worse attends them. (daniel defoe, 49)it is his transposing thoughts that changed his attitudes towards life. when he felt miserable

18、about his condition, he thought of his companions misfortunes. he understood that his condition is not bad compared with them. as he said: “all evils are to be considered with the good that is in them and with what worse attends them.” it is just the same as the truth that to lose is another way to

19、gain. there is no doubt that robinson lost many things, such as his companions, his comfortable lifebut he got more. he was survived, which is the most important for him. that is enough. life is everything. where there is life, there is hope.besides, robinson knew how to set the good against the evi

20、l to enjoy the comforts.evili am cast upon a horrible desolate island, void of all hope of recovery. i am singled out and separated, as it were, from all the world to be miserable. i am divided from mankind, a solitaire, one banished from human society. i have not clothes to cover me. i am without a

21、ny defense or means to resist any violence of man or beast. i have no soul to speak to, or relieve me.goodbut i am alive, and not drowned, as all my ships company was. but i am singled out, too, from all the ships crew to be spared from death; and he that miraculously saved me from death can deliver

22、 me from this condition. but i am not starved and perishing on a barren place, affording no sustenance. but i am in a hot climate, where if i had clothes i could hardly wear them. but i am cast on an island, where i see no wild beasts to hurt me, as i saw on the of africa. and what if i had been shi

23、pwrecked there? but god wonderfully sent the ship in near enough to the shore that i have gotten out so many necessary things as will either supply my wants, or enable me to supply myself even as long as i live. (daniel defoe, 52) it is just as robinson said that upon the whole, here was an undoubte

24、d testimony, that there was scarce any condition in the world so miserable, but there was something negative or something positive to be thankful for in it; and let this stand as a direction from the experience of the most miserable of all conditions in the world, that we may always find in it somet

25、hing to comfort ourselves from and to set in the description of good and evil on the credit side of the account.robinson made a comparison between the evil and good, and understood that he got more than he lost indeed. as time went on, he learned to take more upon the bright side of his condition, a

26、nd less upon the dark side, and to consider what he enjoyed rather than what he wanted. somebody thinks that if one gets great prestige, he will lose the freedom that the ordinary have; if one gets enormous wealth, he will lose the ease when he is sleeping; if one gets brisk business, he will lose a

27、 lot of timein a word, if everyone can think of his own gain and loss seriously, he will find that there is real loss in varying degrees in the process of gaining.b.making plans for the future on the island so that i had a tolerable view of subsisting without any want as long as i lived; for i consi

28、dered from the beginning how i would provide for the accidents that might happen and for the time that was to come, even not only after my ammunition should be spent, but even after my health or strength should decay.( daniel defoe, 50)from this, people can see that robinson is a foresighted person.

29、 when he ran into the adversity, he could deal with it calmly, and he could consider his future rationally. some people will lose his reasoning power when he is in a bad condition. but robinson made plans for his future life on the island. for example, he made a plan for his daily work: every mornin

30、g he walked out with his gun for two or three hours if it did not rain, then worked until about eleven oclock, then ate what he had, and lay down to sleep from twelve to two as the weather was excessively hot, and then continued to work until the evening.he made plan not only for his daily work but

31、also for his food, bullets and powder. his food was very limited. he always ate cannily. and he tried his best to find something eatable. some times he went hunting, which he could get some meat for eating through. and he tried to tame the sheep. then he got not only milk but also some mutton. his b

32、ullets were used cannily and seriously. only when it is quite necessary, he would use it. as for his powder, he considered it carefully; he separated his stock of powder into many little parcels to avoid danger. and he used them according to his plan. because he did not know how long he would live o

33、n the island. owing to his consideration and plans for his future life, he could live on the island for such a long time. assume that robinson did not consider his future life and did not make a series of plans for it, he spent his food, bullets casually, and how could he live on? no one knows. c.le

34、arning to bring forth new ideas when he is short of the necessitythough robinson got a lot of things from the ship that wrecked, he was still short of some necessity, such as a table and a chair, a basket, some earthen vessels and a stone mortar. when he faced the shortage of the necessity, he did n

35、ot give up but think of ways to make out those necessities.without a table, he could not write, eat or do other things. so he set to work and made a table and a chair. he just took the materials he had. though it took him a lot of time and labor, he finished them. and when he needed a basket in his

36、life, he tried many ways to make one. but he failed. though he knew the methods, he did not have the materials. observing carefully, he found the twigs which were as tough as the osiers in england. then he tried again to make a basket with the twigs. finally he succeeded.he also tried to make some e

37、arthen vessels many times. owing to the soil structure, he failed again and again. after having labored hard to find the clay, he made some jars and several small things. because of a happy accident, he found a broken piece of one of his earthen vessels burnt as hard as a stone, which brought him an

38、 idea of burning the whole vessel. then he did so, and he succeeded in making some vessels and some pots. and he used these vessels and pots in his life. these necessities gave him some interest of life. though he had some certain necessity of life, he was still in lack of a stone mortar. he planted

39、 barley and rice, so he needed a stone mortar to pound them into powder to make bread. but he was unqualified for a stonecutter, and the stone was in solid rock which was not fit for making a stone mortar. after a great deal of time was wasted in searching for it, he gave it up, and resolved to look

40、 out for a great block of hard wood. he finished it, and he ate the bread made by himself at last, which provided robinson more food and made his life more wonderful.as robinson said that reason is the substance and original of the mathematics, so by stating and squaring everything by reason and by

41、making the most rational judgment of things, every man may be in time master of every mechanic art. (daniel defoe, 58) robinson had never handled a tool in his life, but he could make out what he wanted through his labor, application and contrivance. he always brought new ideas to solve his problems

42、, which stemmed from the enlightenments in his life. and he made his life on the island more comfortable. it seemed as if it were a kingdom of his own.d.being perseveranttwenty-eight years is not a short time. it is difficult to live on an alone island for a person for such a long time. and he must

43、bear the bad condition. but robinson survived. though he was unfortunate, he refreshed and began to plan for his own life; though he was in lack of many things, he tried his best to make them out, not to just think about what he wanted; though the things he made were not good enough, they could be u

44、seful in his life; though he met with many difficulties, he never gave up. he was perseverant until he was saved.living on an island alone for twenty-eight years is too difficult for a person. and he lived on the island with limited necessities. this was more difficult. and during the twenty-eight y

45、ears, robinson lived comfortably and created his own “kingdom”. this resulted from his perseverance. when he met with some difficulties, he never gave up his hope, and overcame the difficulties with amazing willpower and tenacity. at last, he was saved. and during the twenty-eight years, robinson cr

46、eated the splendor of his life, which astonished many people. present situation of dealing with adversitynowadays people wont have experience like robinson crusoe. but there is still some adversity in peoples life. for some reasons, some people can not deal with adversity very well. and they have so

47、me wrong ideas of dealing with adversity.a.the causes of dealing with adversity improperlythere are various causes of dealing with adversity improperly, which can be divided into two groups: one is the exterior cause, the other is interior one.the exterior cause is the basic one. with the developmen

48、t of the society, peoples life has become better and better. people are accustomed to a comfortable life. when they meet with adversity, they do not know what to do. for example, a young man has already been accustomed to ascendant life that his parents provide for him. if one day his parents can no

49、t provide him with such ascendant condition, what will he do? and the society and the family put much pressure on him. thus he may not bear the pressure, and can not change the role well. then he may go too far, even do some illegal things to meet his needs. though people think those who can overcom

50、e the adversity are successful, the exterior pressure becomes one obstacle on the way.the interior cause refers to the psychological cause. it is the main reason. people always regard the adversity as something that is impossible for them to overcome. thus they are unable to overcome it. people alwa

51、ys feel that they lose all things in such a situation. then they begin to be pessimistic, and complain. fear and self-abasement are the obstacles on the way to victory. if one can not bear them, one will never be successful. just as the zurich axiom saying goes: optimism means expecting the best, bu

52、t confidence means knowing how to handle the worst. people should not be beaten by themselves. for instance, beethoven, a famous musician, continued to compose after his hearing, and created the world-famous music. whether one can overcome the difficulty or not depends on what they think of. b.some

53、wrong ideas of dealing with adversitynowadays, many people have poor mentalities. they cannot treat the adversity properly. so they have some wrong ideas of dealing with adversity.some people regard the adversity as the extreme which does not have room for convert. consequently, they give up their h

54、ope, make no effort to get out, and they get a final loss. there is a parable about two frogs: two frogs fell into a jug which was filled with some milk. one frog thought that he would not get out of the jug for ever. then he sank quickly. while the other made much effort to get out and succeeded in

55、 jumping out. it is easy to know the truth that adversity is different from extremity.life is not fair. when one suffers the unfair treatment, he will complain about it constantly. and he will think he is the most unfortunate people in the world. in fact, it is meaningless. hugo, a great french writ

56、er, was banished by the potentate, and wandered destitute far from home. every day he always threw a lot of stones to the sea. when a brave child asked him the reason for it, he said that he discarded painfulness of himself by doing so. thus he overcame the adversity, created splendor of his own and

57、 achieved a lot in his career.people who are not forethoughtful and do not create some conditions in adversity will not get away from the plight. otherwise people who live in adversity are eager for chances. chances belong to those who are prepared for them. one who is always positive and waits for

58、the chance without considering the future or creating the chance will be beaten finally.besides, people always lack the spirit to take a risk. it is as an old saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained. a series of human beings discoveries and creature, the transformation of societies begins with

59、 the adventures. galileos astrophysics and columbias discovery of the new land were owing to the adventures. if one never takes a risk or makes any mistakes, he will achieve nothing. if one will not write a letter when he does not know the appropriate wording. the result is that the letter will never be finished. this is the same as the truth that one who does not have the spirit of adventure will not be successful. adventure
