【创作感言】：

我非作家，但以作家自律。过程并不重要，以结果为导向，写作范文，甘苦自知。创作是辛苦并快乐的，尤其是当你忠实于自我情感，自由表达的时候。本篇讲述了小鹏哥勇攀高峰和西藏旅行的故事。希望，你的故事也是一样的个性和精彩。

【观点类】：

People will feel happier when they finish a challenging or difficult workthan an easy job.当人们完成一项很有挑战性或困难的工作的时候，人们更加幸福，是否认同? (2009 年8月2日)托福和雅思的区别

【相关题目】：

Which is a better choice, challenging plans about one's future or practicalplans about one's future? 挑战性的计划和实际的计划，哪个是更好的选择?

【头脑风暴导言】：

孔明从来不问：为何我们的箭如此之少，于是，有了草船借箭。

关羽从来不问：为何我的士兵如此之少，但是，依然过五关斩六将。

张飞从来不问：曹兵追击如何是好，于是，有了据水断桥，一声怒吼，吓退曹兵百万。

子龙接到军令：攻下城池，其手中只有20兵将，功成之时，已然连下城池，增兵2万，马匹3千。

如果万事俱备，你的价值何在?因为艰难，彰显珍贵。

如果顺风顺水，你的快乐何在?珍重过程，喜极而泣。

成功的奥秘仅有两条：赢在执行，坚持惯性。

快乐的源泉包含两种：披荆斩棘，美梦成真。

【作家立场】：对比完成简单工作，为充满挑战的任务而奋斗才能使我们感受到最多的快乐。

【思路拓展】：

1.生活中无以伦比的幸福就是坚信我们可以通过诚实努力，实现心中梦想。过程的艰难提升了成功后的幸福指数，因为努力，期待，等待的过程使成功后的喜悦变得弥足珍贵。

2.当你可以坚持别人坚持不了的坚持，当你可以忍受别人忍受不了的忍受的时候，你也将会信心倍增。当你可以完成他人无法完成的任务，自我成就感自然带来心灵的满足。

3. 通常，梦想似乎遥不可及，但是，即使在圆梦的路上充满挫败，我们的幸福感，我们的锦绣前程就在这些挫败的背后藏身。

{三段｝：第二次支持作家立场：

Also, when I stick to what most people fail to persist, when I can toleratemost people fail to endure, my self-assertiveness grows. The satisfaction ofknowing that I successfully did something others cannot do multiplies myhappiness index. As a fancier of self-travel，I once explored Tibet bymyself，instead of choosing a metropolis as my sightseeing destination，I optedfor a challenging city，what I needed to get over includes altitudestress，cultural differences and the lack of vehicle. However, the stunninglandscapes such as spacious lake, lofty mountains and fascinating buildings areonly exclusive to Tibet. Imaginably, the success of finishing hard self-trip inTibet brought me unique happiness that I can never acquire when visiting otherscenic spots.

Granted, I have to concede that some people might remain suspicious of mystand. Some people might believe happy life needs no challenges, challengesmight make them doubt ourselves, dampen their enthusiasm and even ruin theirsense of satisfaction. Nevertheless, I want to refute that those who enjoyadversity-free youths can easily be derailed by few setbacks later on.
