A young man went on a treasure hunt and finally found a fragrant plant and sank to the bottom of the water. The young man was so excited that he took it to the market to sell it, only to find that it was not as good as charcoal, so he burned incense wood into charcoal, but his father told him that cutting a piece of incense wood was worth more than a car full of charcoal. People are always like this, easily confused by the illusion in front of them. To be a man, you should learn to persist. Those who don't know how to persist will never succeed.
Perseverance warns us that perseverance, perseverance, can open a stone. Life experience tells us that a drop of water wears away a stone and a rope saws wood. No matter how strong the city wall is, it can't stand the erosion of thousands of years of wind and rain. No matter how high the mountain is, it can't stand the excavation of Gong Yu's family from generation to generation. As long as people stick to the end, they will always win.
Walter Mischel, a famous psychologist, once went to a primary school to do an interesting experiment: he gave each of the ten children a candy and told them not to eat it until he came back. And promised that those who didn't eat candy would get two pieces of candy as a reward. Three hours later, Michelle came back, only one child still had candy, and all the other children had already eaten it. Michelle gave the child two pieces of candy as promised.
Michelle's experiment reveals a very simple and profound truth: it is difficult for people to resist the temptation, and even if they know that there are greater interests ahead, few people can persist. This may also explain why success is always a minority, while most people can only live an ordinary and mediocre life. This is because they lack the spirit of sticking to the end.
Copernicus, the founder of modern astronomers, put forward Heliocentrism, who denied the dominant geocentric theory at that time and seriously threatened the rule of church creationism, so he was persecuted and imprisoned for life. However, he always adhered to the truth and never bowed to the church. Made an indelible contribution to the development of astronomy. Bruno and Copernicus had a similar fate. The only difference is that Copernicus went to the prison and Bruno went directly to the execution ground, but no one can change their belief in the pursuit of truth or shake their determination to uphold the truth. Today, who will ignore their contributions and who will not have reverence for them?
From Liu Yuxi's "it's hard to win gold by blowing wild sand" to Xia's "it doesn't matter if you behead, as long as it's true"; From Dante's "Go your own way and let others talk!" Today's "persistence is victory", regardless of ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign countries, regardless of classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese, tells us that we must learn to persist and stick to the end in order to win and succeed. Otherwise, like the young man who burns incense wood, he will regret it.
