What's belief? It means one constantly believes in something no matter what happens. Belief is a very magical thing, and the power it could generate is beyond our imagination.

Looking back to the past one and a half year after work, I had to admit more than one time I'd lost myself and even thought about giving up what I was sticking to, also the belief. After a rather deep reflection, I found that the exact thing that broke me down was the real life. Excessive demanding orders from leaders gradually cultivated me into an obedient person or more like a slave, endless mechanical work little by little paralyzed my mind, quarrels and misunderstandings caused by trifles between family members annoyed me again and again, and too straightforward comments from others on my single status further put me into an embarrassing dilemma. These things totally went against what I had imagined before work, moreover, they devoured my dream and my hope, as if a very tiny thing could cause great changes on my mood. For some certain time, I almost chose to submit to the reality, because I couldn’t see any hope for my future. When my leaders arbrarily commanded me to do this and that, despite of extreme reluctance, I knew I was not qualified to challenge the hierarchy firmly rooted in the current society system, so I chose to submit; When my family experienced verbal conflictions, despite of all-out persuasion, I knew my words were pale and useless, so I chose to submit; When others urged me to attend blind dates and even introduced me divorced or very old person, I knew I was of no possibility to become others’ favorite, so I chose to submit. Just because of my cowardly concessions, my life went into a gloomy situation and it was like every day was cloudy in my world. While, as a saying goes, “the best always comes after the worst”.

My life started to change because of three people. The first person I wanted to give thanks to was my executive leader, it was him that taught me a great lesson about the attitude towards work. I would never forget his words“one could win others’ sincere respect only when he or she realized self-value ”. The second person that enlightened me was our supervisor in charge of scientific study. Despite of the bad impressions he left on my colleagues, I still found he was an awesome person. Though he had made great achievements in scientific field, he was still making unremitting efforts to become better. The very merit that I had admiration for him was his executive ability, and it seemed that he wouldn’t wait for even a moment to take it into action once he had some new thought. As a leader, he enjoyed great power and fume at my workplace, and most of us had to be under his command. Because of some negative comments from my colleague, I once thought he was only a strict, indifferent and diplomatic person. But after I heard he telephoned his family in a tender tone and saw he rode a bike send her daughter to school, I knew he was not that terrible as my colleagues described, actually, he was a good son, a good husband and also a good father. From him, I realized that no matter how far one went or how successful one became, he should never forget what his efforts were for and what the most important thing was in his life. The last but the most important person I had appreciation for was a “special”friend. It was this person who opened my closed inner world, changed my attitude towards life, lighted up my vanishing passion and brought back my long-lost belief. Frankly speaking, I had never thought I could meet someone who had similar experiences, similar personalities, similar likes and dislikes as mine. Meeting him was just like meeting another me. Without any exaggeration, after my father’s pass-away, the happiest thing was his appearance. Because of his encouragement, I became more confident, more optimistic and more hard-working. He let me know I was not a useless person, he let me know sometimes things would be totally different if I chose to see them from another point, and he also let me choose to believe. As a book mentioned, only if you choose to believe in something first, then it would come true.

Actually, life was not that complex, the fact was we human perplexed it. Indeed, nothing in the world is more fortunate than being alive, and nothing in the world is more terrible than death. So, except birth and death, we indeed could make any kind of choice. Happy or not, it all depended on which way we chose to adopt to think and act. For myself, I had figured out that only my dream and my beloved were the most important in my life, so nothing could defeat me as long as my dream and my beloved was there for me. For work, I had learnt to independently think, and I believed that I would become much better as long as I constantly learned by myself and modestly learned from others. For my family, I learnt to cherish every moment to be with them, even if the endless quarrels, I still felt I was fortunate and happy. For love, I had learnt to wait, because I firmly believe that I was deserved to meet a better person. I chose to believe in love, and I would like to spend more time to be a better person to meet him.

This was the power of belief, so determined, magical and undefeatable. Wish my belief be with me forever.
