Life focuses on accumulation, and success is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. One step into the sky is just people's fantasy of success, and down-to-earth is the simple truth.
The story of "pulling out seedlings to encourage others" tells us that success can't just take shortcuts. Every harvest is the accumulation of every drop of sweat. As long as you are willing, it doesn't take much courage to take one more step.
Nobel, a great inventor, owned 355 patented inventions in his life. And has been widely recognized and praised by people all over the world.
1In the summer of 862, Nobel began to study nitroglycerin. This is a difficult journey full of danger and sacrifice. Death has always been with him. An explosion experiment exploded and the laboratory was blown up without a trace. Five assistants are all dead, even his youngest brother. Out of fear, his neighbor sued Nobel to the government. Since then, the government has not allowed Nobel to conduct experiments in urban areas. But Nobel is indomitable. He moved his laboratory to a boat in a suburban lake to continue his experiment. After a long period of accumulation and research on failure, he finally found a substance that is easy to cause explosion-mercury radium. He used mercury radium to make detonators for explosives, which successfully solved the problem of explosive detonation.
Success may be just a choice when you face difficulties.
Edison had 1000 inventions in his life. In order to invent the electric light, he read a lot of materials, including his notes with more than 40 thousand pages. He experimented with thousands of substances and did tens of thousands of experiments before he invented the electric light. For example, Wang Xianzhi, a famous calligrapher in Jin Dynasty, used up 18 jar of water to write, and eventually became a generation of calligraphy masters; For another example, Li Shizhen spent 3 1 year, read more than 800 kinds of books, wrote tens of millions of notes, traveled to seven provinces and collected thousands of unilateral books. In order to understand the detoxification function of some herbs, I swallowed some poisonous herbs and finally wrote China's brilliant masterpiece Compendium of Materia Medica. Another example is the British biologist Darwin, who spent 22 years studying the theory of evolution and wrote the book The Origin of Species. There is also a famous French physicist, Madame Curie, who, after XX years of experiments, is not afraid of setbacks and failures, extracted a few grams of radium from dozens of tons of minerals; Throughout the ages, diligence is a necessary prerequisite for people's success.
One more drop of sweat will be another gain, and laziness in handling it will be another result. Success requires us to accumulate step by step. Success and failure are not a step distance, but a step distance.
Lebedev, a famous Russian physicist, said: "A calm lake can't make a thin sailor, and a comfortable environment can't make a great man of the times." Many times, persistence can change a result. When we encounter setbacks and want to give up, remember to tell ourselves that it doesn't take much courage to take one more step.
