Xunzi's "Persuasion" said: "You can't jump ten steps; This is a great contribution to the success of Ma Xu. Perseverance, rotten wood can't be carved; Perseverance can open the stone. " Success lies in perseverance. No matter how good a horse jumps, it is still ten paces away from Xu; Even a piece of rotten wood, "persevering", will be difficult to break, let alone make it into a tool: the power of a stone to stir up thousands of waves lies in the spirit of perseverance and perseverance. In just a few words, persistence can reveal the secret of success.
Success belongs to persistent people. In America, there is a poor young man who sticks to his dream of becoming an actor, making movies and becoming a star, even though all his money is not enough to buy a decent suit. At that time, there were 500 film companies in Hollywood. He visited all the companies with a script tailored for himself. Three rounds of visits, 1500 rejection, can consume all the enthusiasm and passion of an ordinary young man. But he is no ordinary young man. He decided to start 150 1 visit. Finally, when I visited Company 350 in the fourth round, a miracle appeared. Luck finally came to this young man this time-the boss of this company agreed to invest in the filming of his film, and he played the leading role. This movie is Loki, which is popular all over the world. This young man is Sylvie Stallone. Suppose, after the third round, he stops visiting 150 1. Is there such a superstar now? Are there any other excellent films in which he acted? Can he still realize his beautiful dream? I believe the answer is not true. It is because of this persistent spirit that he achieved the final success and victory.
Balzac said: "Continuous labor is the iron law of life and art", and a large number of literature and art are the iron law. It took Marx 40 years to finish Capital. It took 34 years for Xu Xiake's travel notes to be born. And Goethe's Faust is the essence of 60 years. These figures are simple and clear, but they provide us with an out-and-out fact: if you want to achieve something, you need to persevere.
Looking back at the history of China, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, showed us the hidden danger of slacking off.
When I was young, I read and read half-heartedly, and everything was "tasted": I wanted to learn the sword, but I didn't want to spend time practicing it; I want to be familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War, which is also a relapse. Everything, nothing can persist until the end. This habit stayed with him until he lost his hegemony. After the defeat of the Chu-Han War, Xiang Yu became more impetuous, with neither perseverance nor perseverance, not to mention the determination and domineering to "clean up the old mountains and rivers". If he had this persistent personality, would he still "know everything and say everything" when he was young? Will he lose his country when he is old? On the other hand, Mr. Qi Baishi, a painter who never stops writing. In his painting career of more than 70 years, he painted almost every day. After I was 27, I only put my pen down four times: twice because I was sick and twice because my parents died. This kind of diligence is persistent. 1957 spring and summer, that is, the year of his death, his spirit and physical strength have not allowed him to continue painting. Under such circumstances, he still stubbornly drew a picture of the flower king-peony, and completed his masterpiece. Mr. Qi Lao's tireless pursuit of art has made him famous in today's painting world.
Persistence is the longing for spring in the cold winter and the expectation for dawn in the dark night.
Persistence is the only constant goal in the journey of life, and it is also the ultimate magic weapon for our success in life.
