"Adversity makes talents, and prosperity buries talents." This sentence illustrates this profound truth.
Sun Kang of Jin Dynasty loved reading when he was a child, and his family was poor, so he couldn't afford to buy lamp oil, so he braved the cold of winter night and borrowed snow to reflect his reading. In Che Yin of Jin Dynasty, fireflies were packed in white silk bags in summer, and they read by the light of fireflies. Unfortunately, people can stand the test better than happy people, so the poor cherish time more than the rich.
Difficulties and setbacks are a fortune to people with perseverance. Zhouyi was written by Zhou in prison. The Spring and Autumn Annals was written by Confucius after his career was frustrated. Qu Yuan wrote Li Sao when he was exiled. Zuo Qiuming wrote Mandarin after he became blind. Sun Bin's knee was cut off, making the art of war. Sima Qian wrote Historical Records after he went to prison. It can be seen that hardship is the most precious wealth. Beethoven said: Nothing can temper a person's virtue like bad luck. Failure is a blow to the weak, but it is an encouragement to the strong.
Schubert, a world famous composer, was born in a poor teacher's family in Austria. Because my father's income is meager, it is common that he can't eat. One night, he passed by a hotel and unconsciously went in, expecting to meet an acquaintance to borrow money to buy something to eat. He waited a long time, but he didn't. At this time, he found an old newspaper on the ground, picked it up and saw some new songs, so he had a whim and wrote a lullaby. The boss was fired.
Plum blossom fragrance is not bitter and cold, why can it smell? These famous examples all illustrate this point. Children of the poor can become useful people if they grow and learn in adversity.
Adversity is a grindstone, which can sharpen the will to forge ahead and the indomitable spirit. Adversity is a school where people can learn a wealth of life knowledge.
