I have a pot of cactus¹, which the body was stabbed, the body is oval, plus a small thorn root straight Yo, looks like a lovely Xiaoci Wei. Cactus look really strange, it was neither the elegant peony, jasmine fragrance² and no fragrance, and no graceful³ narcissus, but it does have a kind of vitality⁴.

Cactus is often said to listen to great length in the desert, it is very strong, even if a month does not give it water, it can still full of life.

Quite right, these days have been snow, the weather is very cold, I have forgotten the existence of Cactus, when I found it, its body covered with a layer of snow, thin, standing⁵ there, like dying, I It was pathetic, could not help but to sigh: "Poor cactus, dead!"

I hold the pot cactus, on the mother said: "It's dead! You see it, all withered⁶!" "No, it stands strong with, you see!" Mother cactus flutter of snow rushed to me after said: "Look, it is still so green, but it was wrapped in snow.!" the whole winter, potted cactus that grows in silence still, despite cold invasion, thirst torture, was left intact.

Yes ah, people do not like this? A person with difficulty, as it was encased in the cactus, as long as you can stand the strong, never falling, what difficulty will be overcome it? Even the cold of snow Cactus can unplug see green. Not to mention us?

Think of a child, I am learning calligraphy⁷, then I did a little strong determination, difficulties always retreat. An exercise, I also practiced how well this practice with a brush to write the "dragon" character I gave up the brush on paper back after some chaotic⁸ map of the room watching TV. I backed out, I was overwhelmed that heavy snow, but also did not want to stand up. I gave up, it should not be more, ah, I'll use my strong push this snow

Open, good light, in front of me, and I have to give up.

Really, I want to learn the spirit of Cactus, regardless of wind and rain, I will remember, the sun just after the storm, a storm, a rainbow.
