Persistence is the most important thing in life. If you want to win, you must make unremitting efforts. You can only succeed after many failures, that is, failure is the mother of success and success is the symbol of victory. In other words, persistence is victory.
Throughout the ages, didn't many celebrities win by persistence?
There is a story about a snail crawling in the grass. It wants to climb to the top of Mount Tai and experience the feeling that "all other mountains are short in the sky". , but it takes 999 days to calculate, shake your head. It thought of the source of the Yellow River and felt the momentum of "how the water of the Yellow River moved the sky", but after 888 days, it shook its head again ... Finally, the snail died in the rotten haystack. The snail's ambition is not far away, but its sorrow lies in the feeling that it has never taken a step, so "all other mountains are dwarfed under the sky". And the momentum of "how the water of the Yellow River moves out of the sky" can only become an eternal dream.
A priest wrote on his tombstone: when I was 20 years old, my ambition was to travel around the world; At the age of 30, I traveled all over Europe. At the age of 40, I traveled all over the country. At the age of 50, I just want to travel completely. At the age of 60, I had to stay at home. With the increase of age, the pastor's ambition is constantly changing, but the scope of travel is gradually decreasing. There is only one reason-the lack of down-to-earth action between reality and ambition.
Take action, take action. There are thousands of words in the resort. When you encounter difficulties, use your head to think; When you have a wish, set out to pursue it. Take action and mobilize every cell in your body. Even though we haven't succeeded yet, we are getting closer and closer to success. Take action and take a step in a down-to-earth manner, whether on a wide avenue or a muddy path, so that you can leave a solid footprint along the way and shed your hard sweat along the way. On the road, we cultivate, beside the road, we think. Sweat and wisdom spilled all the way, and beauty and achievements were written behind.
Going forward and working hard are always more convincing than rhetoric. Perhaps it is a thorn with no end in sight, or a desert with no end in sight. However, as long as you go on, you will really go on, leaving a flat land after stepping over thorns and crossing the desert to reach the oasis. Down-to-earth, tireless to do some practical things, this is the embodiment of the value of life. If you only describe success and look forward to the future, you will lose practice when you say it, and you will lose your exploration when you hesitate. Success can only be a distant dream.
Walk in front of dreams, call for beauty with actions and prove hope with practice. In hopes and longings, the most important thing is to take a down-to-earth step and let us move; Keep your faith and let's move on. We have only one eternal creed: keep your feet on the ground and walk before your dreams.
Sima Qian, the author of Historical Records, continued to write historical records after suffering from corruption, and finally completed this glorious work.
What does he rely on? Just insist. If he loses confidence in himself after suffering from corruption and does not insist on writing historical records, then we will never see this masterpiece again, nor can we absorb the essence of his thoughts. So his success, his victory, mainly depends on persistence.
Jack London, a foreign celebrity, also built his success on persistence. He insisted on copying the written words on pieces of paper, some inserted in the cracks of the mirror, some nailed to the clothesline, and some put them in his pocket so as to remember them at any time. Finally, he succeeded, and he succeeded in becoming a generation of celebrities. However, the price he paid was several times or even dozens of times that of others. Similarly, persistence is the guarantee of his success.
Xunzi said: "You can't jump ten steps, but you can't give up." This fully illustrates the importance of persistence. Although the war horse is stronger and its legs are stronger, it can only jump once, no more than ten steps at most. This is the consequence of not insisting. On the contrary, although a bad horse is not as strong as a good horse, it can still go far if it can persistently pull the cart for ten days. Its success lies in its non-stop, that is, perseverance, which is like a race between a tortoise and a rabbit: the rabbit's legs run much faster than the tortoise's. It should be said that the rabbit won the game, but the tortoise won the game on the contrary. What is the reason? This is precisely because the rabbit did not persist in the end. It runs fast on its long legs. After running for a while, it slept on the side of the road, as if it were a sure thing. However, the tortoise is different. Instead of being discouraged by short legs and slow climbing, it climbed to the finish line more persistently. Persistence is victory, it won, and finally won the game.
We all know the truth that "a drop of water wears through a stone, and a rope saws through a wood", but why can a trivial amount of water wear through a stone? Can a soft rope pass through hardwood? That's clear. I still insist. The power of a drop of water is very small, but many drops of water keep hitting the stone, which can form great power and eventually wash the stone through. Similarly, rope can also cut wood.
Success is natural, and there must be failure before success. However, as long as we can overcome difficulties and make unremitting efforts, then success is just around the corner.
In our present study, we must learn to persist. Only persistence can achieve success, so persistence is victory.
