The setting up of an ideal does not merely mean to go without doing anything. Real and concrete action should be taken. For us students, the most important thing to do is to study both inside and outside school. We study not to become bookworms but to be well-equipped and prepared for the pursuit of our ideals.

In my opinion, a youth should have ideals. But it is more important that these ideals are not merely centered on the "self". They should be also the ideals of the majority of people. Then you would get strength and confidence towards life.

To different people, the word "ideal" may mean different things. To some, it may mean success and fame in their career; to others, a peaceful life. Very often, we have ideals for the "self" and no ideal for society, not to mention the people of the world. Is it a sound attitude towards life?

Sometimes, in striving toward our ideals, we may encounter certain difficulties and failures. But we should not give up or lose hope, for as long as we try, there is always a way out. We will not lose heart if our ideals are the wish of the many!
