Enlightenment of life
This famous saying, "A scholar should strive for self-improvement and shoulder a long way to go", enlightens us that if we want to succeed on the road of life, we must have strong and brave qualities. In the process of realizing our ideals and goals, we often encounter difficulties and setbacks, and we need enough perseverance and courage to face and overcome them.
I once experienced such a thing: I studied table tennis since I was a child and have always loved this sport very much. However, in junior high school, I found myself far behind by my peers, and my grades didn't improve. So I decided to take part in a table tennis training class and train after school every night. I wasn't too tired at first, but as time went on, I felt more and more tired and even a little overwhelmed. However, I insist on practicing on the table tennis court for several hours every day. The final result was significantly improved, which also won my confidence and love for table tennis.
This incident made me deeply realize that if I want to achieve my goal, I must have the quality of Hongyi and make unremitting efforts. Even if the road is rugged and long, we should keep our faith and perseverance and go forward bravely.
Therefore, we should constantly improve our perseverance and courage, not afraid of setbacks and failures, and bravely face all difficulties and challenges. Only in this way can we make continuous progress on the road of life and win success.
