As the old saying goes, if a jade is not cut, it will be useless.
Brilliant gold needs gold ore to be refined through thousands of elutriations; Round pearls need mussels' efforts; Exquisite stone carving needs the efforts of masons!
The first cry when a musician is born is definitely not a wonderful chapter. Einstein, the most outstanding physicist in the 20th century, said: "Between genius and diligence, I choose the latter without hesitation, because it is the mother of all success!" Einstein-the genius that makes people feel like a genius but denies it!
Therefore, whether a person is successful or not has nothing to do with the sky, but only depends on himself. Stupid birds fly first and enter the forest early. For people, as long as they can "enter the forest early", they are talents. It doesn't matter whether you are born stupid or smart, because "flying first" is the key. Qi Baishi, a master of modern painting in China, is over sixty, but he is just a mediocre painter. But Qi Baishi devoted himself to painting all his life, and remained strong in his later years, and finally achieved great success. Qi Baishi spent his life trying to prove a truth to people: diligence is the key to success!
In the jungle, it is those tall trees that are easily blown away by the wind. As the saying goes, trees are beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy them. However, the pine tree is always towering above the trees, but it is not afraid of Yin Shuang or the cold wind, because it is rooted in the blue rock and firmly rooted. So the wind can't destroy all the beautiful trees, only the crumbling foundation is blown away. Just like some talented people, they can't be self-sustaining and self-motivated, can't temper and improve themselves, can't lay a good foundation with hard work, and are finally overwhelmed by the trend of society. Fang Zhongyong in Wang Anshi's works is just like this. Fang Zhongyong didn't contribute to writing at the right time. He was extraordinary. However, he was arrogant and didn't study hard, and in the end he only ended up with the exhaustion of literary thinking. "Everyone's gone!"
Success or failure has nothing to do with congenital factors. If your IQ is not high, then diligence will make you even more powerful; If your IQ is not high, then diligence can spark wisdom in your gloomy mind. But if you are not diligent, everything can only be zero!
Because, even if you are a piece of jade, jade can only be completed after pondering!
