Is it possible to live a happy life without victories.

Composition on the topic “Do defeat and victory taste the same?”
Do defeat and victory taste the same? Enough controversial issue. In confrontation, there is always a winning side and a losing side, so we can say that these phenomena are opposite. The winner, as a rule, experiences joy, happiness, euphoria, a surge of strength. The loser experiences completely opposite feelings: sadness, despondency, despair. But I didn't say "usually" for nothing. After all, it happens that after a defeat he feels very good, because he fought with dignity with the enemy. And it also happens that the winner does not feel satisfaction from his victory. There is no single answer to the question “do defeat and victory taste the same?”. Therefore, it deserves attention and careful study.
There is a lot of material for reflection in the works of literature. Let's start with conventional warfare. It reveals it very clearly. famous work LN Tolstoy "War and Peace". It describes the feelings of both the winners of the battle and the losers. I would like to consider the descriptions of the Russians and the French after the Battle of Borodino. The Russians rode along the Smolensk road saddened, despondent, already with difficulty believing in victory. The French, on the contrary, went to Moscow inspired, as if they had won not in a battle, but in a war. They behave like winners in Moscow too: they rob, drink, loot, mock the population. But let's fast forward a month: the Russians realized that they had lured the enemy into a trap, and the defeat near the village of Borodino no longer seems lost to them. At the same time, the French began to realize that they would soon run out of supplies and begin the harsh Russian winter, which would be especially cold that year. They no longer feel excited about that victory and feel betrayed. This example clearly shows that with seemingly the same phenomenon of victory or defeat, people can experience completely different feelings, rather even opposite ones.

Another type of conflict is the conflict between small group people, most often comrades, close friends, relatives. This situation is well illustrated by the work of Lermontov "The Hero of Our Time", and specifically the conflict between Pechorin and Grushnitsky. When Grushnitsky insulted Princess Mary, Pechorin stood up for her, demanding an apology. After the refusal, he challenged Grushnitsky to a duel. In a duel, Pechorin kills the missed Grushnitsky. But here is the moment to which I would like to draw your attention: having killed Grushnitsky, Pechorin did not experience a sense of satisfaction, much less joy. He understands that Grushnitsky was too young to realize what he was getting into and to restrain his feelings and emotions. After the death of a comrade, Grushnitsky's friends simply dispersed without feeling disappointment or pity. Although they, one might say, lost this confrontation with Pechorin, this did not upset them.
I would also like to consider the conflict in the human soul. Here I would like to consider the work of V.A. Soloukhin "The Avenger". The conflict occurred between classmates, Vitka Agafonov and the main character of the work. When the guys went to work in the fields, harvest potatoes, Vitka threw a lump of earth at his friend and hit him in the back, from which the hero felt severe pain. Most likely, Vitka felt ashamed of his act, this can be seen from the fact that he was afraid of the revenge of the protagonist. And although Vitka initially did not feel joy, the fact that his conscience woke up in him and he realized that he had acted vilely can already be called a victory. This becomes apparent when he happily agrees to go into the forest to "burn the greenhouse." Now I propose to consider the main character. He came up with a plan to take revenge on Vitka for that act. While they spent in the forest, the hero of the work wanted to realize his plan of revenge. But luckily, he kept putting it off. And although, it would seem, his plan failed, and he never took revenge on Vitka, the hero at the end of the work experienced feelings of satisfaction and joy.
In conclusion, I would like to say that every person, walking along the road of life, becomes both a winner and a loser, and what feelings he experiences depends only on how he perceives his victory or defeat. A person can perceive the greatest victory in his life as something insignificant, and turn a small failure into a tragedy of life. So there is no definitive answer to the question “Do defeat and victory taste the same?” it is impossible to give, so everyone must decide for himself whether what happened is victory or defeat. I would like to end with the aphorism of Ursula Le Guin: "Success is always someone's defeat."

The victory of the whole country is built on the small victories of all the inhabitants of the country, thanks to which a happy ending, therefore, victory over oneself in such terrible event, like war, is extremely important and priceless, it is from it that the victory of your entire Motherland begins.

Another work that fully demonstrates that victory over oneself is the beginning of all other victories is the work of Anatoly Aleksin “In the meantime, somewhere”. This story tells about moral choice, the victory of the young boy Seryozha, who abandoned the journey he dreamed of, for the sake of another person, for the sake of former woman his father. An unexpected letter from Nina Georgievna, the very former woman of his father, who, by the way, was also called Sergei, prompted the boy to go and defend exemplary, that is, the honor of his family. But in conversations with this woman, Seryozha Jr. learns that his father owes a lot to Nina Georgievna, she gave all her strength to cure his severe insomnia, and then his father went to the front. Sergey the elder never came to Nina Georgievna, although she called him more than once. The woman is not offended, you understand everything, but, with a high degree of probability, in the depths of her soul she does not leave hope that they will meet someday, but the boy's father does not even think about meeting her. And then there was the departure of her adopted son, without saying goodbye, whom she took from the orphanage, whom she raised, protected, loved and treated like her own son. Seryozha Jr., who has become a friend to the woman, understands that Nina Georgievna now has no one. The woman refuses to leave for the sake of the boy, but writes that she will not be offended if he cannot spend the summer with her. The boy makes a mature decision - he cannot become the third loss for her. Serezha sacrifices his dream, because he understands that he should be with her, and this is the decision of a person who has won his dream, and therefore himself.

This act of the boy shows that age is not always an indicator moral development, the ability to sacrifice oneself, one's plans for the sake of another person who needs help, support. This is a real victory over himself, which suggests that the boy will grow up as a person who can always be relied upon, who will never give and will not leave in Hard time.

In conclusion, I want to note that not in every case a person immediately achieves his goal, dreams, victory, but the main thing is not to give up, not to give up this goal or dream, to motivate and win yourself. And then, sooner or later, a person will achieve the victory to which he aspired, walked. And the most important thing that, most likely, a person will remember is that if he had not then begun to defeat himself, he would not have achieved any victories.

A story that will impress readers of all ages. "Spark of Life" by Erich Maria Remarque. From one name, one can understand that, again, there is some kind of internal and external state of man, nature. An incredible struggle, a struggle for life, for the light that is so necessary, for the sky, for everything that surrounds a person. Only knowing that all this incredibly beautiful, unique can disappear in an instant, our hero, he believes in "Victory", he does not give up, fights to the end. but still, what a loose, deep word "Victory". Someone thought about how to act in a given situation. Well, for example, when you are faced with the choice of "Win" or surrender. Here, there are people fictional characters by which this question decides their fate. And now imagine for a while that exhausted, lost, forgotten man. And exhausted from what, probably from life, (yes). If you could not make the right decision, choose the right path. and now, what do you choose: "Victory", which sounds so publicly or defeat, no, you have time to think, but while you are thinking, time passes. And you can't bring back the past. This is to ensure that every person who has gone astray chooses "Victory" unconditionally, because no matter what situation you are in, do not give up! Fight, Fight! As for me, "Defeat" is chosen only by those who are weak in spirit. no matter what the circumstances are before you! "Victory", it is always alive in us, it is like blood flowing in our veins. Like oxygen, like a sip of water, so why are we, PEOPLE who know their history, who live under God, we are afraid to make a mistake and choose "Defeat". Well, who said that "Defeat" is a way out of any situation. I don't believe! We must "Win" and fight for the Victory, otherwise there will be no point at all, somewhere to move on. Well, remember our "Soldiers", our defenders! When they ran to the enemy, what did they shout, together amicably, as one big family. They shouted Hurray, Hurray, Hurray! I mean win, win, win! Going to the enemy, they did not think that someone would die, they fled without fear of death! And believe in "Victory"

Another work that demonstrates to us that all victories begin with a victory over oneself is Aleksin's “Meanwhile, somewhere”. The story tells about the boy Seryozha, who lived in an "exemplary" family, but Seryozha himself did not comply with the laws of heredity. When the parents went on a business trip, they took turns writing letters home to their son, who stayed with his grandmother. Since his father's name was also Sergei, when he saw a letter addressed to his first and last name, Seryozha thought that it was for him, from his parents, and was surprised when he read the letter, as he further understood addressed to his father. Serezha learns from a letter that once his father had a woman, Nina Georgievna, who left him after the war and then they parted. She wrote that she forgives everything and does not complain about anything, but now her adopted son Shurik is leaving her, but she understands this too, because he found parents. Gradually, Serezha became friends with Nina Georgievna and filled the void that had formed around her. The story ends with the fact that when his parents bought a long-awaited trip to the sea, which Seryozha had dreamed of for so long, he found out that Nina Georgievna had given up her vacation to see him, he refused to go to the sea and decided to stay with Nina Georgievna. Seryozha does not act like a boy, but like an adult man, having chosen the right path of moral maturation. He chooses to help a person in need of support. Serezha wins over himself, choosing between the sea and Nina Georgievna.
In conclusion, I want to say that I completely agree with the saying “all victories begin with victories over oneself”, because in order to achieve something you need to step over yourself. If a person sets himself a goal, dreams, then in order to achieve them, and not give up in the middle, you need to defeat yourself first and then the result will not keep you waiting.

Osipov Timur, part 2

I will also touch on the work of Daniel Defoe "Robinson Crusoe". It tells about how a man, thirsty for sea adventures, finds himself on a desert island. He leaves his parental home to try his luck at sea. After failing twice, warned by a recurring storm, he finds himself stranded on an island all alone. And it is from here that we begin to follow the development of Man. The joy of a saved person is replaced by grief for dead comrades. When examining the area, he realizes that there is no one on the island but him. At such moments, many would give up. But the thirst for life overcomes all sad thoughts and our hero begins to act. He takes a lot of useful things from the ship before it is smashed to pieces. He equips his home and begins to adapt to the environment. He is faced with the task of surviving. This is a struggle not only with the sea, bad weather, wild flora and fauna. First of all, it is a struggle with oneself. To find the strength in yourself to fight, in spite of everything, not to give up in any case, to see the positive aspects in everything - that's what should real man to myself. Robinson masters many "professions". Now he is a hunter, and a carpenter, and a farmer, and a livestock breeder, and a builder, and a cook. All this tempers his body and spirit. Even when another ship crashes near his island, he is not very upset that he did not manage to escape, and that the booty is not so great. After all, he stands firmly on his feet, fully provides for himself. This shows that he has grown stronger over the years like never before. But even on his calm island, unpleasant things happen. Bloodthirsty cannibals arrange their meals there. This awakens anger and hatred in our hero. On the next visit of cannibals, Robinson heroically beats off the captive from the villains and takes him to her. After that, we see in him not only a strong and well-worn person, but also a person with a pure soul who appreciates morality and morality. With his new friend, "Friday", he began to live with a new life. He accepts it despite the fact that he is also an ogre. Robinson teaches him good and useful things. Communicating with him, he pours out his soul, hungry for people for such for a long time. Later, he beats off two more captives from the savages, and then a rebellious team gets on his island, who wants to deal with honest people. Our hero prevents this and restores justice. Finally he can go home. He leaves the villains on the island, sharing with them not only supplies, but also the most valuable experience of survival. This once again shows us in him, a man of great soul. At home, in England, he begins with a calm soul new life. After all, he won. Nature, injustice, and most importantly, yourself.

In conclusion, we can say that a person is capable of much. Regardless of ability, age, gender and other things. After all, the most important thing is to go towards your goals, by all means, never give up, because by defeating yourself, you will defeat everything in this world.

Semirikov Kirill part 1
Direction: "Victory and defeat"
Topic: "All victories begin with a victory over yourself"
Victory over yourself. For some, these are just words, a reason for celebration and rejoicing. However, the real victory over oneself is a test and hard work, which not everyone can overcome. Only those who are not afraid to walk this path, no matter how difficult it may be, can, the path of overcoming their difficulties with the help of perseverance, diligence and self-confidence
In Mikhail Sholokhov's story "The Fate of a Man", the protagonist Andrei Sokolov has a very difficult life path. Being a real Russian soldier, he was not afraid to risk his life for the sake of his comrades and the Motherland, he volunteered to carry ammunition for an artillery battery to the front line, saving a colleague from a traitor in captivity, he got his hands dirty by strangling a traitor from his detachment, he divided honestly deserved food between career prisoners . Without losing the honor of a Russian soldier, Andrei behaved with dignity, without bending under the fascists and their oppression. Even the Germans themselves admired his bravery before them, and therefore spared his life. Soon he learned that his entire family was killed, realizing that he had lost everything: his family and home. Showing true masculinity and willpower, he overcame all these obstacles, he did not break, defeating himself. After all, Andrei decided to give a new life to the orphaned boy Vanyushka. The author tries to convey how important it is not to give up and remain yourself, despite even the most terrible trials that have befallen you
Also, this topic echoes the work of Sergei Alexandrovich Khmelkov “Attack of the Dead” The author was a member of this historical page of our state, writes about the fascist siege of the Osovets fortress, which is of great strategic importance. After two hundred days of artillery fire and holding positions, the German command gives the order to use gas weapons. Hoping that our soldiers would lay down their arms and anticipating victory, the Germans could not even imagine what awaited them. From a poisonous cloud, coughing, choking and half-blind from chemical gases, Russian chains are moving towards them. Soldiers defending the motherland - mother to last breath- heroes. Patriots who doomed themselves to death, but battling with hostility. With one look, forcing seven thousand fascists to flee. But not everyone is capable of such an act, self-sacrifice for the good of their homeland, wives, children. The scientific work of Sergei Alexandrovich showed what a person is capable of, who conquered his fear and gathered courage in order to give the future to his people

part 2
You can also consider this topic in the work of Valentin Rasputin “Live and Remember.” One of the main characters, Andrei, who served until the forty-fourth year in the war, was wounded and went to the hospital on a visit. Expecting that this will free him from further service, he dreams of hugging Nastenka, his parents and living happily. However, he decides to go home on his own to visit his family, realizing that there is no way back. He hides in an old estate, where Nastenka helps him, but over time, gradually, he turns into a beast, even howls like a wolf. Nastena invites him to come to the village and confess to desertion. After all, his parents are there, they will understand. However, Andrei's mind is increasingly clouded by selfishness and pride, callous in soul, he forgets about any feelings for his parents. Soon, he loses everything he had, growing a beard and leading the life of a savage, the words "Live and remember" will forever accompany him and torment him. The author shows how scary it is when a person does not want to overpower himself, find the strength and courage in himself to go out to people and confess to a crime.
In conclusion, I want to say that this is true, all victories begin with a victory over oneself. Let in small steps, but we must go towards the goal, overcome all the obstacles and trials that are in store for us. After all, if a person has conquered himself, he will conquer everything.

All victories begin with a victory over oneself.

Cicero said: "The greatest victory is victory over yourself," and I cannot but agree with this. wise saying. Every day in the life of the most ordinary person there are various battles. It may be working on an important project that you do not have time to do on time due to laziness; it can be a sports match in which the opponent is much stronger than you; Yes, even a quarrel with a loved one is already a battle, and above all with oneself.

If a person cannot overcome his laziness, then he will never do the job on time, but at all. If an athlete gives up in front of a strong opponent, he will lose confidence in his abilities and lose in this competition by no means to an opponent, but first of all HE WILL LOSE TO HIMSELF. If a son quarreled with his mother, but is in no hurry to ask for forgiveness, is this not a loss to his egoism? After such a defeat to oneself, is it possible to achieve victory in something else? Why is it so important not to lose the battle with yourself? How are "inner" battles related to "outer" battles? The answers to these questions are hidden in the works classical literature. Let's turn to them.

As a second example, I would like to take the work “Not on the Lists” by Boris Vasiliev. The main character, Nikolai Pluzhnikov, was sent to serve in Brest fortress before the start of the war. Literally on the first night of his arrival, the German invaders are trying to occupy Brest. But our lieutenant is not a bastard, although luck has pulled him out of the clutches of death more than once; he honestly defended, tried to protect people, to protect this small piece of land from enemies. He did not lose in any external battle, although he had the opportunity to escape. After all, Nikolai "did not appear on the lists," in fact, he was a free man he wouldn't be a traitor. But duty, honor and courage did not allow him to do this. He knew that this land was HIS. This homeland HIS. And no one but HIM can protect her. He did not seek glory by these actions, he only wanted to once again see the peaceful sky above his head.

But war is a terrible thing. It breaks not only lives, destinies, cities, but also Man. But she did not break our Hero. Yes, there were moments when Nikolai was on the verge, no one would judge him, but at that time there were people who helped him. Salnikov, Fedorchuk, Volkov, foreman, Semishny, other soldiers ... Mirrochka ... When they all leave his life, he will no longer fight with himself. He has already won "within". And he knows that he must also win "outside". So, readers come to the conclusion that "internal" victories lead to "external" victories. That by conquering himself, a man becomes a man. He gets strength, will and self-confidence. Such a person will be able to overcome any life circumstances.

Ultimately, we come to the conclusion that, indeed, all victories begin with a victory over oneself. Yet the main "activity" of the personality takes place inside him, inside his heart and soul. And it is from there that all “external” decisions and actions arise. Therefore, it is very important to be in balance with yourself and be able to overcome yourself when life requires it.

Anastasia Kalmutskaya

P.S. Lord, what are you difficult topics gave, Oksana Petrovna. Do you know how many days I sat on the intro? Three days!

He will be able to conquer himself, through pain and suffering. - speech. Lost word passing.
She became the light that became his salvation. - unjustified repetition.
And no one but HIM can protect her. - a comma is lost.
oh, Nastyushka, how dear to me is your exclamation, your cry of the heart! But what a job! mmm! Hard to learn, easy ... you know where! but how proud I am of my students and students, smart, kind, educated, developed, subtle and able to see what a thick-skinned person does not see or feel. Pupils and students who know how to speak not in the language of a bird, who know how to appreciate the Russian language. love him, speak fully, convincingly, able to be good, literate and well-read interlocutors! 5To begin with, I would like to give an example from life. Paralympic athletes, having no arms, legs, manage to show a very good result. Even say, not every athlete is capable of this. After all, they have a purpose. They work not for the sake of money, but for the sake of their victory, they were able to overcome all the pain and all the difficulties in themselves, and strive for the best. These people deserve to be called successful.
Also, many works reflect the struggle over oneself. But in the work of V. Rasputin “Live and Remember”, the hero Andrey Guskov, a peasant guy who was called to the front, who served well, was a good and faithful comrade “and didn’t climb first, and didn’t stand behind his comrade,” as the author writes. This indicates that the service was carried out well. But one day, after being seriously wounded, having got to the hospital, he is given the opportunity to go home to his wife. But after that, he is told not a pleasant thought that he is being returned to the front. With the mere thought of seeing his wife, he decides to run away and meet his wife for a little while. Thus, he shows weakness, absolutely everyone at the front dreamed of seeing a family, but everyone fought, they persuaded themselves, defeated themselves, and thus Soviet people won, which Guskov could not do. Moreover, Guskov becomes not just a deserter, but begins to completely lose the qualities of a person. He does not care about his wife Nastya, who was the only one who knew about his existence, he becomes selfish. He lost the war within himself.
But in the work of B. Vasiliev “The Dawns Here Are Quiet ...” the victory over himself of the foreman Vaskov and five anti-aircraft gunners is shown. During the Great Patriotic War, the calculation of anti-aircraft installations under the command of Vaskov, once in a quiet environment, lead wild image life. After that, the command sends “non-drinkers” to Vaskov, these were two squads of anti-aircraft gunners. After one of the anti-aircraft gunners noticed 2 saboteurs, the command gave the order to intercept the enemy troops, Vaskov recruits a group of five girls and goes to fulfill the order. Each of these girls thinks about their problems and they manage to overcome themselves and their fear. After all the girls were killed, the foreman, feeling guilty, busted himself, stopped the enemy. If not for the internal victory of the girls and the foreman, the order would not have been carried out. That is why the first ones are happy. And the second pretend to be happy. But who are these winners? Not chosen, and not born under lucky star. This ordinary people who stepped over themselves more than once, did not stop there, becoming better every day - not someone! - themselves. These people just once realized that the key to all victories is victory over oneself, achieved by long, painstaking work on one's vices. But why is it so important? And how not to lose in the battle with the most indestructible opponent - yourself...?

Let's turn to literature. I think the task of each author is to show how the hero changes from the beginning to the end of the work, what his thoughts, feelings, views become ... For example, in the story "Ionych" the author shows the hero's changes through degradation, both moral and physical . If at the beginning of the work the main character is intelligent, smart and educated, loves art, then at the end he lives boringly, is not interested in anything, he only eats, sleeps and plays cards. The hero's name even changes! He was Dmitry Ionych (to call by name and patronymic means to be respectful), but he became simply - Ionych (that is, he lost his name, and therefore, his face). And the story is the same. I don't think it's a coincidence. They say that it's not scary to fall, it's scary not to rise. So, calling his story "Ionych", A.P. Chekhov wanted to convey to readers that the main character fell, but would never rise again. He will no longer, as before, excitedly talk about his work (it is no longer a favorite), he will not show a keen interest in music and literature (after all, now he is only interested in maps) ... He will not walk, because now there are horses !
And here is the first answer, why it is so important to defeat yourself and fight your shortcomings: there will be movement forward. Otherwise, degradation is a sure way to the bottom.

But in order to fight your shortcomings, you first need to see them. Andrei Bolkonsky managed to do this from the novel by L.N. Tolstoy "War and Peace". Andrei understood all the pettiness of his views on life and revised them. For example, he renounced the glory that he once craved for himself. He realized that he cannot be an egoist, especially in a war, when you need to be in unity with your people, believe in their victory and fight for it. And Prince Andrei learned to forgive, which, of course, is a real feat! True, this great wisdom came to him just before his death. But she came, and that's all that matters. When Andrei realized that he had forgiven his enemy - Anatole, whom he had previously wanted to kill, a new happiness was revealed to him. "Yes, love, but not the love that loves for something, but the love that I experienced for the first time, when, dying, I saw my enemy and still loved him." Andrei felt that he had found peace, and his soul was now calm. "You can love a dear person human love; but only the enemy can be loved with Divine love. "Prince Andrey managed to realize that it makes no sense to bear resentment in the heart. Will you become happier from this ?! Real happiness is to let go of this very offense, the burden that pulls to the bottom. Let go with ease. Without regret "Prince Andrey was able to do this. He became free, cleansed his soul. And that means he won."

As for me, I can hardly call myself a winner. At least on this moment. I give up quickly. Something doesn't work - I quit. Because you want everything to work right away. No effort - and on you! - victory. But this does not happen ... When I stop believing, my hands immediately let go. When you have faith in yourself, everything is easy. And when it is absent, any, even the most insignificant obstacle seems to be an invincible obstacle. When you think about it, those are all excuses. And only losers are justified ... But still, where to look for this very faith in yourself? From what corner of the soul do you need to draw strength in order not to give up, but to move forward? You can talk a lot, think, guess ... But I still don’t know the answer. And what are the words? Just water... The main thing is to start doing, and the rest doesn't matter...
What else would you like to say? Probably the fact that to win or lose is both fate, and suddenly smiling luck, and a simple accident ... But defeating yourself is a choice. Victory over oneself is the basis of all other victories, because it gives freedom. And when you're free, you never try to be better than anyone. Because you know that the only person you have to be better than is yourself. As Pierre Bezukhov said: "We must live. We must love. We must believe." Here it is, the cherished formula of the winner! And that magic word is "should". You have to be able to admit mistakes. And it is necessary to overpower yourself. Bite your elbows, clench your teeth, but overpower. Even when everything seems to be against you. That all is lost. Gotta be stronger than the pain. Stronger than circumstance. Stronger than fear. Stronger laziness. It’s difficult, but if you manage to step over yourself and overcome seemingly indestructible obstacles, then everything else will be on your shoulder ... And if it seems that the days drag on in a familiar and boring sequence, you must remember that every morning is a chance to start living anew !

As a second example, I would like to take another work by Boris Vasiliev. “The Dawns Here Are Quiet” is a story about female heroism in war time. In this story, Vasiliev describes the life and death of five anti-aircraft gunners: Rita Osyanina, Zhenya Komilkova, Gali Chertvertak, Lisa Brichkina and Sonya Gurvich. How many girls, so many destinies. They received orders not to let the Germans through. railway and they fulfilled it. Five girls, having gone on a mission, died defending their homeland. There are five of them, but each of them dies differently. Someone accomplishes a feat, and someone is in fear, but we must understand each of them. War is scary. And they went to the front themselves, voluntarily, knowing (!) What can be expected of them - this is a feat on their part. They received an order not to let the Germans through to the railroad, and they carried it out. Five girls, having gone on a mission, died defending their homeland. The life of young people was cut short - this is a defeat. After all, even Vaskov, a man who has seen a lot, cannot refrain from tears when anti-aircraft gunners die. He single-handedly captured several Germans! But we understand that it was all thanks to those little girls who sacrificed themselves. Fortitude, faith, heroism is victory. I would also like to mention the son of Rita Osyanina, Alik, the future rocket captain, who embodies victory, but victory over death itself!

In conclusion, I would like to say that every person throughout his life will be both a loser and a winner. I believe that defeats are important, because they make a person stronger. With what stronger man the more likely he is to win. Give one answer to the question "Do winning and losing taste the same?" impossible. Each person looks at the current situation differently and it is up to him to decide whether he won or lost.

Yes, captivity is a terrible defeat. But we are convinced that the author of the story, showing such a complex life situation, emphasizes that the defeat turns out to be a high moral victory for the Russian people. In the interrogation scene, the defeat of Andrei Sokolov becomes his moral victory, when the commandant of the prisoner of war camp near Dresden, Müller, admires the dignity, courage and steadfastness of the prisoner and highly appreciates him for this - saves his life, calls him a real Russian soldier.

Conclusion to the essay So, what conclusion can be drawn? What led me to reasoning on the books of L. N. Tolstoy and M. A. Sholokhov? Rereading and recalling the pages of these works, I come to the conclusion that in the life of any person the problem of victory and defeat plays serious role because it is difficult to go through life without victories and defeats. And how a person endures victory and defeat depends entirely on himself, on his character. This is very important in the life of each of us. So let in our real life there will be more people who win than lose.

Chatsky. Who is he? Winner or loser? In Alexander Sergeevich Griboyedov's comedy Woe from Wit, we see that few people understand Chatsky in Famusov's house. The hero with his views turned out to be completely out of place. The Moscow light renders its verdict to Alexander Chatsky: madness. And when the hero delivers his main speech, no one wants to listen to him. What is this? Chatsky's defeat? Writer I.A. Goncharov in his essay "A Million of Torments" claimed that Chatsky was the winner. Why did the author of the essay come to this conclusion? It is hard to disagree with Goncharov: after all, Chatsky shook up the stagnant Moscow society, destroyed the hopes of Sophia, shook the position of Molchalin. And this is the real victory!

Raskolnikov's theory and its collapse Reading F. M. Dostoevsky's novel Crime and Punishment, we learn that the thought of saving the world forced Raskolnikov to create own theory. As a victim, he chooses an old pawnbroker. The idea does not give the hero rest. Everything that happens around pushes Raskolnikov to kill the old woman. A noble crime turns into a bloody murder. Murder is a terrible crime, it cannot be calculated. Raskolnikov kills the old pawnbroker and, together with her, takes the life of the kind, humble Lizaveta. The hero of Dostoevsky experiences unbearable mental anguish, is terribly tormented. Inhumane thoughts and deeds can never serve the benefit of humanity. Happiness cannot be built on blood, cruelty and violence. Therefore, this theory has failed. This is the complete defeat of Raskolnikov. He comes to rethink moral values: “Did I kill the old woman? I killed myself." And, reading the pages of the novel, we clearly realize and understand that only through the humane principle can humanity rise and rise, that there is no other way and cannot be.

What did Ernest Hemingway show? What makes you think about his story "The Old Man and the Sea"? How did it all end? Victory or defeat? Definitely a win! It was not just a victory, but a victory of the human spirit, endurance and courage. Being on the high seas, Santiago talked to himself and said: “Man is not created to defeat. A person can be destroyed, but not defeated. How well said! The story of an American writer about a man who does not give up. The duel of the old man with a huge fish, which carried his boat along the Gulf Stream for a long time, made a great impression on the writer. And he decided to tell about the dignity of a person, about the grief and happiness of the winner. The theme of victory and defeat in the story takes on a special role. The old man conquers not only the fish, but his own weakness, fatigue and old age.

Probably, there are no people in the world who would not dream of victory. Every day we win small victories or suffer defeats. In an effort to succeed over yourself and your weaknesses, rising in the morning thirty minutes earlier, doing sports section preparing lessons that are badly given. Sometimes such victories become a step towards success, towards self-affirmation. But this is not always the case. Seeming victory turns into defeat, and defeat, in fact, is a victory.

In A.S. Griboyedov’s comedy “Woe from Wit”, the main character A.A. Chatsky, after a three-year absence, returns to the society in which he grew up. Everything is familiar to him, about each representative secular society he has a strong opinion. “Houses are new, but prejudices are old,” concludes a young, ardent man about the renewed Moscow. The Famus society adheres to the strict rules of Catherine's time:

“honor by father and son”, “be poor, but if there are two thousand family souls, that is the groom”, “the door is open for invited and uninvited, especially from foreign ones”, “it’s not that novelties are introduced - never”, "judges of everything, everywhere, there are no judges over them."

And only subservience, servility, hypocrisy dominate the minds and hearts of the "chosen" representatives of the top of the noble class. Chatsky with his views is out of place. In his opinion, “ranks are given by people, but people can be deceived”, it is low to seek patronage from those in power, it is necessary to achieve success with the mind, and not with servility. Famusov, barely hearing his reasoning, plugs his ears, shouting: "... on trial!" He considers young Chatsky a revolutionary, a "carbonari", a dangerous person, and when Skalozub appears, he asks not to express his thoughts aloud. And when the young man nevertheless begins to express his views, he quickly leaves, not wanting to be responsible for his judgments. However, the colonel turns out to be a narrow-minded person and catches only arguments about uniforms. In general, few people understand Chatsky at Famusov's ball: the owner himself, Sofia and Molchalin. But each of them makes their own verdict. Famusov would forbid such people to drive up to the capital for a shot, Sofya says that he is “not a man - a snake”, and Molchalin decides that Chatsky is just a loser. The final verdict of the Moscow world is madness! At the climax, when the hero delivers his keynote speech, no one in the audience listens to him. You can say that Chatsky is defeated, but it's not! I.A. Goncharov believes that the comedy hero is the winner, and one cannot but agree with him. The appearance of this man shook the stagnant famous society, destroyed the illusions of Sophia, shook the position of Molchalin.

In I.S. Turgenev’s novel “Fathers and Sons”, two opponents collide in a heated argument: a representative younger generation- nihilist Bazarov and nobleman P.P. Kirsanov. One lived an idle life, spent the lion's share of the allotted time for the love of famous beauty, a socialite - Princess R. But, despite this lifestyle, he gained experience, experienced, probably, the most important feeling that overtook him, washed away everything superficial, knocked down arrogance and self-confidence. This feeling is love. Bazarov boldly judges everything, considering himself a "self-broken", a person who made his name only with his own work, mind. In a dispute with Kirsanov, he is categorical, harsh, but observes external decency, but Pavel Petrovich cannot stand it and breaks down, indirectly calling Bazarov a "dummy":

...before they were just fools, and now they are suddenly nihilists.

Bazarov's external victory in this dispute, then in a duel, turns out to be a defeat in the main confrontation. Meeting your first and the only love, the young man is not able to survive the defeat, does not want to admit the collapse, but can not do anything. Without love, without sweet eyes, such desired hands and lips, life is not needed. He becomes distracted, cannot concentrate, and no amount of denial helps him in this confrontation. Yes, it seems that Bazarov won, because he is so stoically going to death, silently fighting the disease, but in fact he lost, because he lost everything for which it was worth living and creating.

Courage and determination in any struggle are essential. But sometimes it is necessary to reject self-confidence, look around, re-read the classics, so as not to make a mistake in right choice. After all, this is your life. And when defeating someone, think about whether this is a victory!
