Zeng Guofan is one of the most influential figures in the history of China, but his talent was not high since he was a child. One day when I was studying at home, I repeated an article many times and was still reading it aloud because he hadn't memorized it yet. At this time, a thief came to his house and lurked under his eaves, hoping to get some benefits after the scholar went to bed. But wait and wait, just don't see him sleeping, or read the article over and over again. The thief was furious and jumped out and said, "What books do you read at this level?" Then recite the article and leave! The thief is very clever, at least smarter than Mr. Zeng, but he can only be a thief, and Mr. Zeng has also become the person admired by President Mao Zedong: "the richest man in modern times." "Diligence is a good training, and one point is hard work." The thief has a good memory. He was brave enough to recite the article after listening to it several times. He can jump out of "great anger" when he sees others not sleeping. Teach Ceng Laoshi a lesson, so we have to endorse and leave. Unfortunately, however, his name is not known, and Mr. Zeng later used a lot of talents. It is said that the thief and Mr. Zeng have known each other for a short time and can be used for one or two things. Unfortunately, his talent was not coupled with diligence, and he became ignorant.

The idiom "Heaven rewards diligence" means that God cares for diligent people, and their efforts will be rewarded. It also shows that opportunities and inspirations often only patronize prepared minds and only favor diligent people. It means no pains, no gains, and it means that more work is praised at all times and in all countries.

Origin: "Heaven" in The Analects of Confucius means "providence", and "reward" means reward and generous reward; And "diligence" means diligence and dedication, which means "God will reward those who work hard and diligently".

Sentence: As long as you work hard, you won't believe that there is no heaven to reward hard work. You should believe that heaven rewards diligence, so work hard.
