What can we learn from The Old Man and the Sea?

0920

The central character is an old Cuban fisherman named Santiago, who has not caught a fish for 84 days. The family of his apprentice, Manolin, has forced the boy to leave the old fisherman, though Manolin continues to support him with food and bait. Santiago is a mentor to the boy, who cherishes the old man and the life lessons he imparts. Convinced that his luck must change, Santiago takes his skiff far out into the deep waters of the Gulf Stream, where he soon hooks a giant marlin. With all his great experience and strength, he struggles with the fish for three days, admiring its strength, dignity, and faithfulness to its identity; its destiny is as true as Santiago’s as a fisherman. He finally reels the marlin in and lashes it to his boat.

However, Santiago’s exhausting effort goes for naught. Sharks are drawn to the tethered marlin, and, although Santiago manages to kill a few, the sharks eat the fish, leaving behind only its skeleton. After returning to the harbour, the discouraged Santiago goes to his home to sleep. In the meantime, others see the skeleton tied to his boat and are amazed. A concerned Manolin is relieved to find Santiago alive, and the two agree to go fishing together.

  蜜桃伏特加

  I understand from the old man and the sea the spirit of the old man is not hard. Life is the sea, you must be the old man. Never say die. That's what the Old Man and the Sea tells us. Learn his courage to fight, fearless, fearless and undaunted spirit!

  Even if like a drop in the ocean is small, can also be proud of that has been insisting on their own

  Those who have seen the sea know what is vast; Those who live by the sea know what it is to be small and fearless.

  The old man never doubted his ability or asked for luck, whether he didn't catch any fish for 84 days in a row or the marlin he caught after three days and nights was eaten by sharks to the bone.

  It is not an easy and simple thing to live forever in the sea.

  84 days without catching a fish, the 85th day also full of hope to go to sea!

  No meat, no fish bones.

  Think of such an unlucky old fisherman, ear seems to be echoing a voice: persist, persist...

  Since you choose to go to sea, you must insist on it, otherwise, in the ruthless sea, how do you not be swallowed by the sea.

  People can't rely on luck to live, you do not blame the day, no blame the fate of the truth, because it is always your own, you can insist on going to sea, can proudly enjoy the fish bones taken from the jaws of the shark.
