美夢不一定成真，但我們必須擁有美夢。

——題記

我們常常把“理想”與“彼岸”聯(lián)系在一起，其實潛意識中，我們把理想比作了汪洋大海，把自己看成了一條航船，而把理想的實現(xiàn)當作了勝利的彼岸。這個比喻沒什么新鮮可言，但每個人卻始終逃不出這個比喻，因為我們無時無刻不在眺望著彼岸，拼力劃槳。

彼岸是個領獎臺，每個人都渴望成為優(yōu)勝者，在掌聲中被眾人寵愛。但是勝利者們是否想過，掌聲從哪來?自己嗎?不是!是更多的被“淘汰者”和觀眾。其實，鼓掌的人不一定會因為沒站在臺上而沮喪，而站在臺上的人也不一定比鼓掌的人高興幾分。每個人都有自己的內容，每個人都有自己的體驗，而正因為這些，每個人都有每個人的各不相同的幸福滿足感。

殘酷的現(xiàn)實總是無法拒絕的，而人們卻總在痛苦時怨天尤人，刻骨銘心；快樂時人們沾沾自喜，在心靈深處總感到自己是最最幸運的人。其實仔細想想，自己一直在前進著，勝利固然是最完美的結局，但起點與結局不是僵死不變的，我們更應該敞開心扉，仔細體味，過程才是更多的生命旅程。

過程是積累，是到達彼岸的途徑。它展示了大海的雄偉，與伴隨著危險的臺風；它擁有迷人的浪花，也有可怕的冰山；它會給任何人機會，又不會給任何人留情面；它是欣賞與歷險的結合；它是感謝與磨練的化身。正是它讓我們的航行不再孤單，也正是在過程中我們認識著自我，提高著自我，體現(xiàn)著自我?？赡芪覀儠粨舻梗覀兘洑v了自己所擁有的歷程、不會同任何人一樣的歷程，我們應該展開胸襟，看到海的壯美，看到我們的人生其實就在這一片藍湛湛的海上。

其實，彼岸也是海。

Only for the sea

Beautiful dreams can't always come true， but we must have some. (A motto)

We like to link our ideals to the other seashore， regard ourselves as a boat， and take the realization of ideals as a journey at the boundless sea. Though this simile is no longer fresh， it is still popular. That's be- cause all of us are rowing at full tilt and heading for the other shore， in order to live our beautiful dreams.

The other shore is a prize- awarding platform many people are fighting for. Every competitor wishes eagerly to become the winner， so that they could be admired by people around and petted by passionate ap- plause.But has the winner ever thought about where the applause comes from? From himself? Definitely not! It is from those who have been defeated by him in the competition and the audiences.In fact， those who applaud are not always less happy than the person standing at the platform， and the person standing at the platform are not always more excited than people who applaud. Ev- erybody has his own content， experience and ambition. Because of this， everybody has his own criterion of happiness， which is quite different from others.

Sometimes， the reality is cruel and it is unavoidable. Somepeoplealwayskeep blaming or cursing whenever they are in trouble or in agony.When things go well，they laugh happily and forget the potential troubles. At that time， they believe that they are the luckiest ones in the world. However，thinking about it carefully， we will find a different conclusion. It is no doubt that the most perfect result is to win if we are making progress all the time. But if success is out of the question， should we give up what we are doing？No! Just go on and on.Because if we have done our best， even though the result is still not satisfying at last， it is still a preciousexperiencebecauseitatleast brings us a great many fantastic memories.Applause， flowers， gold medals， all of them will be deserted as time goes by and the winner passes away， but the spirit of fighting and challenging will exist forever in people's heart. So we should pay more attention to the course than to the results. Opening our heart and savoring every drop of life， we will be most happy. After all， the course is the real content of our life journey.

The course is not only a means of accumulating energy， but also an approach to reach the other shore.It shows the grandness of the sea， as well as the dangerous typhoon; it has not only beautiful waves， but also terrible icebergs; it will give everyone a chance， but it will not give anyone a single privilege. It is the combination of appreciation and adventure， of gratitude and suffer- ing. It is the course that makes us no longer lonelywhen wearenavigating.Italso makes us know ourselves， reflect ourselves and improve ourselves. We are likely to be knocked down， but it' s worth trying， because at least we will go through a totally different experience of our own. If we keep our eyes open， we will see the magnificence of the sea， and we will find our life quite interesting and enjoyable while fighting in the sea.

Actually， we are not fighting for the other shore but for the dangerous and exciting sea.
