Failure makes people cry, make people sad and look back. I know that this article I am going to write may be old-fashioned, but the truth I want to show is an indisputable fact that has been circulating for thousands of years! I don't want to be spurned, but I still insist that failure is the mother of success!
Goujian, taste the courage.
In 496 BC, He Lv, the king of Wu, sent troops to attack the State of Yue, and was defeated by the State of Yue. He Lv was seriously injured and died. Two years later, He Lv's son, Fu Cha, led an army to defeat the state of Yue, and Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was escorted to the state of Wu as a slave. After serving the King of Yue in humiliation for three years, Fuxi cleared his guard and sent him back to Yue.
In fact, Gou Jian did not give up revenge. On the surface, he obeyed the king of Wu, but secretly trained elite soldiers, strengthened political supervision and governance, and waited for an opportunity to fight back against Wu. Hardship can exercise the will, and ease will kill it. Gou Jian was afraid that he would covet the comfort in front of him and kill the will for revenge, so he arranged a hard living environment for himself. He sleeps at night without a mattress, just laying some firewood (called salary in ancient times) and hanging a gallbladder in the house. In order not to forget the shame of the past, he will taste the gallbladder from time to time.
In order to encourage the people to join the Queen and the people in the labor, Gou Jian made the State of Yue strong with the help of Vietnamese Qi Xin, and finally found the opportunity to destroy the State of Wu.
Because of his great failure, Gou Jian did not abandon or give up, and finally succeeded, successfully destroying Wu State and expanding Yue State!
Liu Bei visited the cottage three times.
The yellow turban insurrectionary uprising at the end of Han Dynasty caused great chaos in the world. Cao Cao sat in the imperial court, and Sun Quan supported Dongwu. Liu Bei, the imperial clan of the Han Dynasty, heard from Xu Shu and Si Mahui that Zhuge Liang was very knowledgeable and talented, so he took gifts with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Wolonggang in Longzhong and asked Zhuge Liang to come out to assist him. It happened that Zhuge Liang was out that day, so Liu Bei had to turn back in disappointment. Soon, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei braved the snowstorm and invited them for the second time. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang went out for a walk again. Zhang Fei doesn't want to come again. Seeing that Zhuge Liang was not at home, he urged him to go back. Liu Bei had to leave a letter expressing his admiration for Zhuge Liang and asking him to come out of the mountain to help him save the country's crisis. After a while, Liu Bei was a vegetarian for three days and was ready to invite Zhuge Liang again. Guan Yu said that Zhuge Liang may have a hollow reputation, but he may not have real talent and learning, so he doesn't have to go. Zhang Fei, on the other hand, advocated that he should make a phone call alone and tie it up with a rope when he didn't come. Liu Bei scolded Zhang Fei and went to visit Zhuge Liang with them for the third time. At this time, Zhuge Liang was sleeping. Liu Bei dare not disturb him. He stood until Zhuge Liang woke up and sat down to talk to each other. Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei was interested in doing things for the country and sincerely asked him for help, so he came out to help Liu Bei establish the Han Shu Dynasty.
Liu Bei, because of his persistence and perseverance, finally succeeded after two failures. This can be described as "failure is the mother of success", and there is no success without failure!
Zhang Heng, seismograph
When Zhang Heng, an ancient scientist in China, invented the seismograph, he was demoted and used by the court at that time. Others laughed at him for doing nothing but doing science. However, he was not shaken by fame and ridicule, and he still studied hard and finally succeeded.
Some people say that failure does not necessarily lead to success, while others say that success can come naturally. Is it true?/You don't say. No, it's not! Who has seen success come with the wind? In school, is the one who is the first in grade really a success at one stroke? Of course not. It was through unremitting efforts and fumbling in knowledge that she succeeded. How many difficult exercises hindered her and how many questions haunted her? Why did she succeed? Because she persisted after failure!
It's the same old saying-"Failure is the mother of success"!
