Never lose hope

I think the key to the success of this work is that it portrays the strength of human nature that can never be defeated.Faced with a far stronger opponent, the old man did not choose to shrink back. Instead, he gathered what he had in hand to fight with the shark for protection. Perhaps the endless swarm of sharks won because they took all their meat, but I firmly believe that the old man was never defeated because he had realized his life value in this fierce battle against the whole nature. No matter how dangerous the environment he was in, how powerful the enemy he faced, how scarce the materials around him, he did not bow to fate or give up fighting for the ideal. The loud and clear slogans of "I will fight to the death" and "Man is not made for failure" reflected the fearsome power he had unleashed in the face of adversity. Santiago is the spiritual saint, the ideal winner, and he wins the battle of the mind!
