Mussels endured the grinding of sand and persisted, and finally gave birth to beautiful pearls; The iron sword endured Rise of the Legend's insistence and was finally refined into a sword. All rhetoric and rhetoric are illusory, but persistence is the cornerstone of success. Edison, the great inventor, tried thousands of materials when he developed the incandescent lamp, and all failed. Someone laughed at him and said, "You will never succeed." Edison was unmoved, did not abandon or give up, and insisted on forgetting to eat and sleep. Finally, he successfully developed the world's first electric lamp, which brought light to the world. He persisted in research all his life, invented a series of inventions that benefited future generations, and branded his name in the history books with a brilliant attitude. After years of washing, he did not fade, and his reputation has been passed down to this day. Is to insist on making his life brilliant. Turning over the centennial picture of the Olympic Games, we can also find the highlights of persistence. As early as 1984, when Xu Haifeng won the first Olympic gold medal for China, 24-year-old Wang Yifu stood on the podium. Since then, the members of the national team have changed one after another, but Wang Yifu has always insisted on playing on the field and vowed to win an Olympic gold medal. 192 At the Barcelona Olympic Games, Wang Yifu got his wish and won the gold medal of 10 meter air pistol. At the age of 32, he should have retired, but the voice of doubt kept him on the court-he wanted to prove himself. Finally, after two defeats in 1996 and 2000, Wang Yifu came to Athens with dreams and made a public outcry with practical actions. By this time, he was 44 years old, but he persisted and made him frustrated. Finally, he succeeded. History is like sinking sand and smashing halberds, which will be washed away by itself; It is persistence that has turned Liu Yuxi into a clean lotus after experiencing the bitterness of "self-destruction for 23 years"; It is persistence, so that Su Zizhan is trapped in the "Wutai Poetry Case" and insists on writing "Old people talk about juvenile madness"; It is persistence. Let Liu Yong completely ignore the gradual widening of his belt, and shed an eternal story. Cao Xueqin insisted on eating porridge for his family and wrote the immortal Dream of Red Mansions. Ouyang Xiu lost his father at a young age; Kuang Heng was born in a poor family, and insisted on poaching, and finally he was admitted to the university. Sages are telling us a truth through personal experience: persistence is an indispensable condition for success. Therefore, the sky will fall on the Sri Lankan people, who must first work hard and work hard. How many people who can't stand tempering can succeed? Even with age and eight directions, the future is like the sea, and there is still plenty of time. My friend, from today on, learn to persist. You will have the opportunity to take charge of the vast land and proudly ask who is in charge of the ups and downs. I still remember that it was a composition for the senior high school entrance examination in 2007. It was a cartoon: the protagonist in the cartoon dug five wells there, but none of them dug water. But every bite is only one step away from the water. Dig another shovel and water will come ... Looking back at ancient and modern times, no successful great man has succeeded without unremitting persistence. Without Edison's efforts to dig wells, the electric lights there would bring us light; If there is no dedication like Watt digging wells, the steam opportunities there will bring us convenience; Without Napoleon's insistence on digging wells, there would be prosperity in France. Their success was not accidental, but determined a goal, worked hard for it, persisted and persisted again. A well will not stop until water is dug. So their success is inevitable. On the other hand, the hero in the cartoon, what is the reason for his failure? He lacks perseverance. With this spirit, you can turn decay into magic. Without this spirit, even if you are a genius, it will be in vain. Also disabled, some people just ask for sympathy. And some will laugh against the wind, and will persist and struggle with a hundredfold effort. The same is true of Zhang Haidi, which makes life shine with dazzling light; The same is true of Helen, who makes life bloom beautifully; Isn't Hawking, too? He turned the gloom in his life into a distant light. Miracle after miracle, there is only one similarity between them, and that is persistence. Persistence is a drop of water wears away the stone, persistence is a pestle ground into a needle, and persistence is a rope saw. These seemingly impossible things will succeed as long as they persist. The definition of success may not be persistence, but without persistence, you will never succeed. The problem of going back to the well again: if you keep digging, there may not be water, but if you don't dig, there must be no water. Persistence is the first element of success. This well is right in front of you. How to dig? How to dig? It's up to you.

As long as Roland has been working hard and making unremitting efforts, there is nothing he can't conquer. -Seneca In the duel between hope and disappointment, if you persist with courage and firm hands, victory will belong to hope. Since Pliny is looking forward to a brilliant and great life, he should start from today, create happiness for himself and mankind with unshakable determination and unshakable faith, and with his own wisdom and perseverance. -nameless persistence in a great cause requires unswerving spirit. Voltaire should have a strong will, excellent ability and perseverance to achieve his goals. -Goethe
My only strength to achieve my goal is my persistence. One of the great advantages of Pasteur's outstanding people is their perseverance in unfavorable and difficult encounters. If Beethoven wants to succeed in this world, he must insist that he can't live without his hand until he dies. -Voltaire Everything needs to be done with your best. People who give up halfway will never achieve anything. -Shakespeare's invention is not an accidental result, but the result of unremitting research. 1 Dickens, a famous British writer, usually pays great attention to observing and experiencing life. No matter whether it is windy or rainy, he insists on observing and listening to the streets every day, writing down the words of pedestrians and accumulating rich living materials. In this way, he is in David? Copperfield gave a wonderful description of the dialogue between characters and left a vivid description of the social background in A Tale of Two Cities, thus becoming a generation of British writers and achieving great success in his literary career. Edison spent ten years developing storage batteries, during which he kept gritting his teeth. After about 50 thousand experiments, he finally succeeded in inventing the battery and was awarded the reputation of "the king of invention"
Dickens and Edison won the final victory by persistence. Insist that Dickens left many excellent works for people and added many fine works to the treasure house of world literature. Persistence enabled Edison to overcome many difficulties and made indelible contributions to the progress of mankind. It can be seen that persistence can make people achieve career and academic success. ?
Those losers often give up their efforts at the last minute and miss success. I remember that a chemist in Sweden seemed to find a new element when extracting iodine from seawater, but he flinched in the face of this complicated extraction and experiment. When another chemist spent a year, after numerous experiments, and finally added a new member to the element family-bromine, making him immortal, the Swedish chemist could only watch each other silently immersed in the joy of victory. Two chemists, one of whom persevered and won; The other one didn't hold on and didn't succeed. It can be seen that persistence is the last obstacle to victory. In the darkest moment, that is, the moment when the light comes, the more at such a moment. The more you need to persist. Because persistence is victory. ?
3 Helen? Keller is blind and deaf, but she tries to change from a compassionate little girl to a strong woman who is respected by the whole world. If life is really unfair, then life is extremely unfair to her. She can give up her dream and hide in a dark corner and cry loudly. No one will blame her. She can also lie in bed or sit in a wheelchair and be served like a vegetable. But all this, she didn't do it, she just learned the blind language with the help of the teacher, and what she moved only depended on her never-giving-up faith and perseverance. She painted her ideal sky with the brightest color of life.
According to legend, Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, was impatient when he was a child and often played truant. One day, he came to the foot of a high mountain and saw an old lady grinding an iron bar. Li Bai was puzzled and asked questions. The old lady told him to grind an embroidery needle. Li Bai was amazed. How can iron bars be ground into needles? The old lady said, "As long as you have perseverance, you are not afraid of failure." Li Bai was deeply inspired. From then on, I studied hard and never slacked off, and finally became a generation of "poetic immortals".
Hang in there, success is at your feet. Persist in challenging setbacks until the final success. Let stress be your motivation to reach the finish line. Despair is both a challenge and an opportunity. Just stick to it and you will succeed one day.
Countless failures have created a brilliant life.

It's important for you to give up these things. Lincoln didn't give up, and he didn't say, "What if you fail?" Lincoln never gave up his pursuit. He was the master of his own life. 1860 was elected president of the United States.
Hold on a little longer, and success is just around the corner.
1905, Lorenz? Chadwick is famous for successfully crossing the English Channel. Two years later, she set off from Kadena Island and swam to California beach, trying to set an unprecedented record.
That day, the sea was foggy and the sea was cold. After swimming for 16 hours, my lips turned purple with cold, exhausted and shivering. She looked up into the distance and saw only the mist in front of her, as if the land was far away from her. We can't see the coast yet, so we can't swim the whole distance this time. Thinking like this, she suddenly collapsed and even had no strength to paddle again.
"Drag me up!" She struggled to say to the people on the boat with her.
"Bite your teeth and hold on, it's only a mile away." The people on the boat encouraged her.
"You lied to me. If there was only one mile left, I should have seen the coast long ago. Drag me up, quick, drag me up. "
So, shivering chadwick was dragged up. The ship went ahead at full speed. Just as she wrapped the blanket tightly and drank a cup of hot soup, the brown coastline emerged from the dense fog, and she could even vaguely see the beach and the crowd waiting for her cheering. Only then did she know that the people on board didn't lie to her, and she was really only one mile away from success.
"A hundred miles is half of ninety miles." The last section of the road is often the most difficult threshold to cross. In fact, in everyone's life, no matter work or life, they will encounter some extreme environments or extreme difficulties more or less. Sometimes it takes a little perseverance and a little hard persistence, and success can be within reach, instead of passing by with regret.
Madame Curie put more than 20 kilograms of waste residue into a furnace for heating and melting at one time, stirred the boiling slag liquid continuously for several hours with a thick iron bar, and then extracted only one millionth of trace substances from it. From 1898 to 1902, after countless times of extraction, dozens of tons of slag were treated, and finally 0. 1 g radium salt was obtained, and its atomic weight was determined to be 225. Madame Curie also became a scientist admired all over the world.
A boy asked Tao Yuanming for advice. Tao Yuanming took him to the edge of the field and pointed to the rice and asked, "Look carefully, have you grown taller now?" The boy squatted down and stared at He Miao intently for a long time, saying, "I'm not good at it." Tao Yuanming asked, "Are you sure you can't? So, how do the seedlings grow tall in spring? " The boy shook his head in confusion. Tao Yuanming enlightened and said, "In fact, this seedling has been growing, but we have not observed it. The same is true of reading and studying. The growth of knowledge is accumulated bit by bit, and sometimes you don't even realize it. But as long as you are diligent and persistent, you will learn a lot from what you know. Therefore, some people say that' diligence is like a spring seedling, and it will be stronger if it does not increase'. " Then, Tao Yuanming pointed to a big millstone and asked, "Look at that millstone, why is it concave like a saddle?" The boy replied, "that's for wearing." "Have you ever seen anyone dressed like this?" The boy said, "I haven't seen it." Tao Yuanming further induced him to say: "This is the result of farmers sharpening knives, sickles and hoes on it every day. Over time, it is worn out. It can be seen that' dropping out of school is like sharpening a stone, and you will lose money every day'. Once learning is interrupted, what you have learned will be forgotten unconsciously. " Persuade and enlighten young people to realize that they must "step by step and persevere" and "study hard to make progress, and drop out of school".

According to historical records, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, had different intentions to study when he was young. He soon lost interest in learning to read and write, and wanted to learn fencing. He is tired of practicing fencing for a short time and wants to learn the art of war. His uncle Xiang Liang was furious at this, but Xiang Yu was a "top gun" and replied plausibly: "It is enough to learn to read and write your own name; No matter how well you learn fencing, you only learn the skill of' one enemy', which is insignificant; We must learn the skill of' ten thousand enemies'. " These words touched Xiang Liang, so he began to teach him the art of war. At first, Xiang Yu was interested in learning. Unexpectedly, after a long time, he relapsed and was still tasting. As a result, none of them can persist. This bad habit formed by Xiang Yu when he was young has laid a deep hidden danger for his future "overlord career".

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.
24 foreign celebrity Jack? London, his success is also based 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.

Xunzi said, "You can't take ten steps in one leap, and you can't take ten steps in one leap." 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 that "a drop of water wears away a stone, but a rope saws wood". However, why can insignificant water penetrate 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.
When Qi Baishi was young, he asked a seal engraver how to learn seal engraving well. The seal engraver asked Qi Baishi to pick a stone and go home to practice by himself. Therefore, Qi Baishi kept practicing day after day and year after year according to the teacher's words. A load of stones became less and less, and the ground was covered with mud. At this time, Qi Baishi's seal cutting technology has also been very exquisite, and finally became a famous seal cutter. Because of persistence, Qi Baishi succeeded. Hang in there, success is at your feet.
