"Old Man and the Sea" to shape the success of a classic tough guy image. It is also the author of Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Cuba said the book is a Fisher the to Santiago, a man fishing alone in the 84 days after nothing caught a Marlins immeasurable. This is also the elderly have never seen more than heard of his boat two feet longer a big fish. Great efforts are also big fish, pulled the boat drift for a whole two days and nights, the elderly in the past two days and two nights have never experienced the hardships endured the test, and finally the big fish to death, tied to the bow. However, at this time has been in the midst of the sharks, the elderly and the sharks were life-and-death struggle, the result of a shark or a big Marlins finished, the old trailer home last only a bare skeleton of the fish.

Hemingway's why the elderly did not let the final victory? Novels in the words of the elderly: "A person must not be defeated born", "people do can be destroyed, but can not be defeated." This is the "Old Man and the Sea "philosophy would like to reveal. There is no denying that people will be as long as it is flawed. When a person is to recognize the shortcomings and efforts to overcome it and not to succumb to it, regardless of the final catch of the Marlins a complete or an empty frame, which have been does not matter, because the value of a person's life has been Marlins in the hunt for the process of fully embodied. Have to strive for their ideals, the struggle, and I wonder if he is not a winner right?Fisher challenge is to own their own shortcomings and the winner of the courage and confidence. View from the secular point of view of the victory, the winner will not be the last Fisher, because, despite his big win over the Marlins, but the Marlins eventually let big sharks eat, and he was just the bones of the dead with a big Marlins shelf back to shore, that is to say, the shark is the winner. However, in the eyes of the idealists,Fisher is the winner because he has not been to the sea to the big Marlins no compromise and surrender to the sharks. Beethoven's music as the master said, "I can be destroyed, but I can not be conquered."

Humanity is a powerful, human beings have their own limits, but it is because such a personFisher again and again to challenge the limits, beyond them, this limits the expansion of only one, one times the greater challenges facing the before mankind. In this sense, this Fisher Diego Sandinista hero, regardless of the challenges the limits of their success or failure are always worthy of our respect. Because he gives us is the most noble of human self-confidence!

Life itself is an endless pursuit. It is the road long, difficult and full of ups and downs but as long as its own tenaciously to a brave heart to meet the challenges of self-confidence, he will always be a real winner!
很费劲啊

　　我读过许多书，它们让我学到了许多知识，也让我懂得了许多做人的道理，其中有一本书，让我体会很深，它就是著名作家海明威写的《老人与海》。

《老人与海》这本书讲了这么一个故事，古巴老渔夫圣地亚哥连续八十四天没捕到鱼，被别的渔夫看做失败者，可是他坚持不懈，终于钓到了一条大马林鱼，大马林鱼将他的小船在海上拖了三天才筋疲力尽，被他杀死了绑在小船的一边，再归程中一再遭到鲨鱼的袭击，他用尽了一切手段来反击。回港时只剩鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨。尽管鱼肉都被咬去了，但什么也无法摧残他的英勇意志。这本书向我们揭示了这样一个真理：人不是为了失败而生的，一个人可以被毁灭，但不能被打败。

以前，我做什么事只要有一点不顺利，就会退缩，有时还会说上几句垂头丧气的话。在学习上，我只要有几次考试不是很理想就没有信心，认为自己考不到好成绩。《老人与海》中，主人公与鲨鱼搏斗，鱼叉被鲨鱼带走了，他把小刀绑在桨把上乱扎。刀子折断了，他用短棍。短棍也丢掉了，他用舵把来打。这本书揭示出的真理，不就说明了人无论怎样，最怕的就是没有信心。信心就好比是汽车的马达，是人前进的动力。如果你做一件事有了信心，你就等于成功了一半。这本书中主人公充满信心、锲而不舍的精神，不正是我所缺少的吗？

自从读了这本书之后，我知道了自己的不足，学习上不再因为一两次不顺利而失去信心，而是越考不好，就越要考好。在期末考试的那一天，上午的两门功课成绩，我没有班里的某一个同学好，但是我并不服输，反而信心倍增，决心打一个翻身仗。下午的语文考试，我做每一道题目都格外仔细。果然，我语文考试是班里的第一名，总成绩上，我也是第一名。

今后，我不管遇到什么困难，都要信心十足地去面对，坚持到底，决不退缩。我要感谢书，感谢它让我学到了那么多知识，感谢它让我懂得了那么多道理，感谢它让我知道自己的不足，及时改正自己的缺点，使我成为一个对社会有用的人。

《老人与海》中，孤独的老渔夫桑提亚哥已经不仅仅是条硬汉，他身上所体现的精神价值，完全是古希腊悲剧精神的现代回响。在《老人与海》中，海明威终于为他所钟爱的硬汉找到了灵魂，这灵魂就是人类亘古不变的永恒价值。因此，在《老人与海》中，硬汉桑提亚哥的刚毅性格，已经成为小说的表面。通过桑提亚哥硬汉性格来礼赞人类的永恒价值，才成为小说的真正主题。《老人与海》中展现了哪些永恒的价值呢？

首先就是人的自信。
