One step is small, but it can change a person's life; Life is big, but there must be a first step. And this first step is the foundation. In the journey of life, it is impossible to achieve anything without foundation or weak foundation, because foundation is the foundation and the starting point. Without foundation, there is no starting point, without starting point, there is no process, let alone the end.
Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Huge buildings are always made of one stone and one wood. Why don't we make one stone at a time? I often do odds and ends, that's why. " Lu Xun studied hard since he was a child, and from these odds and ends, he laid a solid foundation and achieved success.
Looking back on the history of China for more than 5,000 years, there are still many great men who, like Lu Xun, regard the foundation and the first step as particularly important. One step is that Confucius repeatedly performed "Wang Wen Cao" for dozens of days, and his life is the great achievement of Confucius' later education; One step is that Qi Baishi grinds the stone into mud, and his seal cutting for his life has reached the point of perfection; One step is Mei Lanfang's efforts, and his whole life is Mei Lanfang's becoming an excellent Peking Opera performing artist. The success of these great men is related to their initial diligence and perseverance. Just as Xunzi's famous sentence in "Encouraging Learning": "So, if you don't accumulate steps, you will be thousands of miles away; If you don't accumulate a small stream, you can't become a river. " A successful and brilliant life often begins with the first step, and the success of the first step is the cornerstone of future success. Paying attention to the foundation has not only made China a great man, but also a foreign celebrity.
Demosthenes, an outstanding orator in ancient Greece, faced with strong wind and with a stone in his mouth, read the History of the Peloponnesian War to the waves. Year after year, he finally became a famous speaker and politician.
Buddha Rocchio made Leonardo da Vinci practice painting eggs from different angles, which exercised his eyesight and made him an outstanding Italian painter in the European Renaissance.
The same is true of celebrities in history, and ordinary people should pay more attention to the foundation. Simple details and down-to-earth basic skills are indispensable in our study and research, and both are our compasses leading to the other side of success.
When we take a small step in life, maybe our life will take a turning point and our future will change. Only by taking this small step in life and laying a good foundation can success be just around the corner. Thus, a successful and brilliant life always begins with the first step.
