Article: You can't sweep the world without sweeping a house. Laozi said, "Hold it with wood, and live to the end; Nine-story platform, starting with tired soil; A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. " Xun Kuang said in Persuasion, "If you don't accumulate steps, you can't travel thousands of miles, and if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers." Lenin, the revolutionary mentor of the former Soviet Union, also said that "if people want to achieve great things, they must start from small things." Therefore, you can't sweep the world without sweeping a house. Chen Fan was a famous figure in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He lives alone in a room, and his yard is dirty. Qin Xue, his father's friend, criticized, "Why don't you sweep it for the guests?" He replied: "When a gentleman does things, he should clean up the world and settle down in a room?" Qin Xue immediately asked tit for tat: "If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?" It is true that great successes are made up of small successes. If one can't even do small things well, how can one talk about achieving great things? There is an ancient saying that "a levee of a thousand miles collapses in an ant's nest", which talks about the importance of small things and warns us to beware of small sufferings and decorate great wisdom with small "wisdom". In fact, as long as we observe carefully, we will find that everything in the world follows a law-from small to large, from simple to complex. As the saying goes, "If you don't accumulate pace, you can't go to Wan Li Road, if you don't accumulate petty profits, if you are sincere, don't disturb." Without the gathering of many streams, there would be no Yangtze River rolling eastward. Without dust, there would be no towering peaks; If there is no rich literary precipitation, it is impossible to write a literary article ... Can a person who doesn't even love his family be patriotic? Similarly, can a person who can't even sweep the house sweep the world? When Li Shimin made an alliance with Khan in Inner Mongolia in the Tang Dynasty, Prince Li Chenggan was willing to violate the imperial edict in order to save his sister. When Li Shimin came back, he didn't blame the prince, but highly praised his behavior. Because Li Shimin thinks that a person can love his family and be patriotic, which will benefit the society. If a crack is not handled properly, the crystal pyramid of ancient Egyptian wisdom may disappear; If some bricks are not well built, the Wan Li Great Wall, a wonder of the world, may become a pity. Therefore, ignoring small things is the destruction of great success. Premier Zhou Enlai, from the day of the birth of the * * * production party to the founding of New China, has been thinking about the small things in the party, which can be described as "doing my best to die". Over time, he has finally made great contributions to the great cause of the party. Why didn't he sweep the house and the world first, and he did it successfully. But to start from small things does not mean that any small thing should be thought too much, spend too much time, or even affect the real big thing because of some unnecessary details. This is just a small loss, fixed at the end of the injury. This is what we should know how to choose and focus on the overall situation. Imagine how ambitious Han Xin would be if he stuck to a rut and was not humiliated by leg lifts. If Gou Jian sticks to details and is not humble, how can he destroy Wu's achievements later ... Tai Shigong once said: "Many people are attracted by gold and there are no bones left." Although the function of small things is invisible, its power is enormous. We can be as ambitious as Chen Fan, but we can't ignore the solid efforts needed to realize our ambitions. It should be noted that small success makes great success. Success is a pyramid accumulated over time, not a castle in the air overnight. In life, we should also clean a house and do small things well, so that we can do big things and sweep the world. How can you achieve great success if you don't pay attention to small details? Therefore, you can't sweep the world without sweeping a house.
