Thoughts after reading Dignity

After carefully reading a famous book, everyone must have a new understanding and perspective on life. It is time to calm down and write a good composition. Many people must be worried about how to write a good composition. The following is a review of Dignity compiled by A Bundle of Green Grass for everyone. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

Chapter 1: Thoughts after reading Dignity

When I first read "Dignity", I was deeply impressed by the character of Hammer. Others were devouring their meals, but he asked for labor again and again. Among such a group of people, he seemed so different. This is obviously the key figure of the article, so it is natural to dig into it carefully. After reading it several times, I had doubts about this topic and the author's evaluation point of view: Hamer's insistence on using his own labor in exchange for what he needs is indeed dignified. But he showed that others seemed to have no dignity. I beg to differ. I believe that dignity here is a kind of persistence, a kind of backbone, and a kind of principle of life.

In addition, there is another respectable figure hidden in the article-Uncle Jackson. In order to maintain Hammer's dignity, he concocted a white lie. Such a person is more respectable. This reminds me of an article I read many years ago: That winter, it snowed heavily. Many parents from relatively wealthy families called a public school in the United States to ask whether classes should be suspended. The answer they received was that classes would continue as usual. Because there are many poor children who can eat a free lunch at school, if classes are suspended, they may go hungry. In order to let these poor children eat "as a matter of course", school must be in session no matter how heavy the snow falls. When responding to parents' inquiries, the school only told them that they would go to school and nothing else. Isn't this just like Uncle Jackson?

There is a kind of hero who is in front of the stage, like Hammer; there is a kind of hero who is behind the scenes, like Uncle Jackson! I appreciate what’s behind the scenes even more!

Chapter 2: Thoughts after reading Dignity

Today, we learned a new text called "Dignity". I was deeply touched after learning this text.

The lesson "Dignity" mainly tells such a story: A group of refugees came to the small town of Walson in Southern California. The kind and simple Walson family made a fire to entertain them. It was obvious that they had not eaten such good food for a long time, and they wolfed it down without saying a word. The only exception was the young man Hammer. He insisted on using his own labor in exchange for food. His approach not only maintained his dignity, but also won the appreciation of the town mayor, Uncle Jackson.

I have always associated it with myself from Hammer. If I were one of the refugees, I would not give up the delicious food in my mouth just to maintain my dignity like Hammer. At that time, I would have thrown my dignity away long ago. While both enjoyed delicious meals, the food was completely different. What Hamer eats is the fruit of his own labor; while those who eat without doing anything eat food that is filled with the sympathy and love of Wall's people. The meanings between the two are completely different.

After constant polishing, the jade stone of Hammer finally gave off its dazzling light. He became the unparalleled oil king in the world.

The inspiration this text brings to me is: if you want to become a dazzling star on the big stage of life, dignity is what you must be equipped with.

Chapter 3: Thoughts after reading Dignity

One cold winter, a group of refugees came to the small town of Watson. The local people entertained them warmly, and they wolfed down the food. There is only one exception, and he is Hammer. He has to work for the people of Walson Town and use his own labor to get food. So, Uncle Jackson asked him to beat his back. After beating his back, Uncle Jackson sent Hammer some dishes, and Hammer also ate them hungrily. Later, Uncle Jackson kept Hammer and betrothed his daughter to him. And I believe that Hammer will succeed. Twenty years later, Hammer achieved great success and became a world-famous oil king.

This story tells us that we must love ourselves and believe in ourselves in order to gain the respect of others. Likewise, if Uncle Jackson didn't respect Hammer, Hammer wouldn't be where he is today, because Hammer learned to respect others from Uncle Jackson. The story mainly tells us that Uncle Jackson is a person who knows how to respect and value others; Hammer is a person with dignity, and dignity has two meanings here; one is to summarize Hammer's character, explaining that people should love themselves, be confident, and have self-respect; the other is to praise Uncle Jackson's quality of respecting and valuing others. In the article, Jackson said this to his daughter: "Even though he has nothing now, he is 100% a rich man because he has dignity!" Yes, dignity is a huge wealth.

Through this story, I thought about the reality of my life. Sometimes we help others and when others give us money in return, we do not accept it, which will hurt other people's self-esteem. Sometimes, when we force others to give money, it will also hurt their self-esteem.

Chapter 4: Thoughts after reading Dignity

A few days ago, we studied the text "Dignity", from which I learned many principles of life.

This text is about: A group of refugees fled to a small town called Walson in Southern California. The small town was home to kind and simple Walson people. The Walson family made fires to cook and entertained them warmly, but they didn't even bother to say a word of thanks and ate hungrily. There was only one exception. This man's name was Hamer. He said, "Do you need me to do anything to eat your food?" The mayor said, "No." The young man's eyes suddenly dimmed, his Adam's apple moved up and down and he said, "Then I won't eat your food. I can't get this food without working!"

The word "you" is included in the two sentences the young man said, which shows that the young man is very polite. "The eyes suddenly darkened" because the mayor Jackson did not give him a job, and he could not lose his dignity, so the eyes suddenly darkened. "The Adam's apple moves up and down" means that the young man is very hungry. This sentence illustrates the young man's resolute attitude of refusing to accept charity through demeanor, action, and language description, and reflects the valuable quality of young people in safeguarding their dignity.

Later, the mayor asked the young man to help him beat his back. The fact that the mayor asked the young people to help him pat his back shows that the mayor is a considerate and caring person. Because the mayor knew that he was hungry and had no energy when he was hungry, the mayor did not let him do any hard work such as mopping the floor or hoeing the floor. Finally, the mayor betrothed his daughter to him. The mayor said to his daughter: "Even though he has nothing, he is 100% a rich man because he has dignity." The man who didn't even bother to say a word of thanks was in sharp contrast to Hammer. Hammer is a polite, dignified, and backbone man, and the town mayor, Uncle Jackson, is also a polite, respectful, and kind man. Their advantages are written openly and covertly. No matter how hungry Hammer is, he still has to maintain it when he is about to face death.One's own dignity, what a precious quality it is. It is precisely this kind of quality that has won everyone's respect and made him an oil king.

I want to learn from Hammer and be a dignified person.

Chapter 5: Thoughts after reading Dignity

Today, I read the article "Dignity" again. Its core inspired me and made me understand: people must have dignity and cannot let their dignity be lost in vain!

This text is written like this: A agricultural famine brought many people fleeing the famine to a manor. The owner of the manor, Uncle Jack, brought water and food to these fleeing people. These disheveled people didn't even bother to say a word of thanks and ate hungrily. There is a very special young man here, skinny and pale. When Uncle Jack brought the food to him. But he asked: "Sir, do you have any work for me to do?" Uncle Jack said: "No, young man." The young man refused the food that Uncle Jack brought to him. Uncle Jack knew that if he was not allowed to work, he would not eat. So, Uncle Jack said: "Ah, I have some work that I need you to do, but I need you to do it after eating." "No! I will do it now!" the young man demanded. Uncle Jack asked the young man to beat him on the back. After beating him for a few minutes, Uncle Jack said: "Okay, young man, you beat him very well." Then he brought the food to the young man, and the young man immediately ate it hungrily. Uncle Jack looked at the young man with a smile, kept him in his own manor, and betrothed him to his daughter. He said to his daughter, "Even though he has nothing, he will definitely be a millionaire in the future because he has dignity!" Later, this young man indeed became a billionaire in the United States. He was the oil king Armand Hammer.

After reading this article, I fell into deep thought. I thought: Hammer relied on his dignity to become an oil king. What about our primary school students? We cannot live without dignity! A person, even if he has nothing, cannot be without dignity!

A story: A beggar came to a woman's house. The woman asked the beggar to move a pile of bricks from the front yard to the backyard, but the beggar only had one hand. He was very angry: "I only have one hand, how do you want me to move it?" The woman deliberately made a brick with one hand and asked, "I can move it with one hand, why can't you?" The beggar was stunned. After using that hand to move the bricks, the woman gave the beggar 20 yuan. The beggar was very grateful, and the woman said, "No need to thank me, this is the money you earned from your own labor." In this way, several beggars came, and the pair of bricks were moved several times, back and forth, and they were moved like this for several years. A few years later, a man in a suit and tie came. Unfortunately, this man had no right hand. It turned out that the boss was the first beggar who had moved bricks in the woman's house. The boss insisted on sending the woman and her family to live in a house. The woman disagreed and said, "Then give this house to someone who doesn't even have a hand."

I am quite impressed. If you want to know why the woman disagrees, you can only know if you read it carefully.
