　　More Striving Spirit Is Needed It is now said that the young generation is lacking of striving spirit. As I see it, this phenomenon is truly footed in fact. They are easy to give up and always turn a pessimistic attitude to failure. But why does it happen?
　　First of all, I have a sense that it is the living condition that matters. Born in the 1980s, most of us are the only child in the family living in the green house, we receive endless care like flowers. It is the love from our parents that set us away from the real world. As this goes on,when we step into the society one day, we cannot get accustomed to the fierce and competitive social life.What’s more, with a negative attitude, many young people are easy to be tired with everything. When coming across with a sticky problem,they are willing to stay behind rather than have a crack. Perhaps the so-called sloth has claimed them for its own.The last but not the least, nowadays, the competition in the society is fiercer than we could imagine. In order to survive, the young people have to struggle under burden of study and work. Be adapted to the press and failure, the young people lose their self-confidence and self-esteem little by little, not to mention about the striving spirit.
