I remember reading such a cartoon, a well digger with great ambition but little talent failed because of lack of faith. In fact, he dug a lot of big pits and small pits on the ground, but he never persisted. Even when the water he longed for was in front of him, he abandoned it and eventually failed.
Obviously, ambition is generally important, but what is more important is action, which depends on whether there is tenacious perseverance and tenacious belief in action. Of course, in our life, ideals are essential. If a person does not have lofty ideals and ambitions, he will become short-sighted and even do nothing in his life. However, the ideal is still just a dead letter, and it depends on firm belief to turn it into reality. There is no smooth road to life. Every step forward in human history needs the feeding of fire and the baptism of blood. If we only have lofty ideals and don't fight "hard" with great faith, when the years pass by in a hurry, we will find that the ideal is still an ideal or a mirage on the horizon, and eventually we will get nothing like a well digger. But if we set up an ideal, we will not forget to persist in our efforts and go on with tenacious perseverance. If we overcome difficulties with the belief that we will never give up until we reach our goal, we will certainly overcome them. A satirist put it well, "Ideal is the other side, reality is this side, and action is the bridge between the two sides." With faith, we will succeed in the end.
Xunzi said: "You can't take ten steps in one leap; Xu, ten drivers, never leave. " "Perseverance, never break a dead wood; Perseverance makes stones precious. " Only perseverance can achieve ultimate success: Sima Qian, Shi Sheng of China, determined to study history, endured humiliation and burden with superhuman perseverance on the long and depressing road of life, and finally completed an immortal masterpiece; Chemist Nobel hurt himself and killed his relatives in the explosion experiment, but he still worked steadfastly. Marx, the great revolutionary mentor, is a model of combining ideals with beliefs. Under his seat in the London Library, there are ditch marks left by him when he was reading. ...
Great people are ambitious, and great people persevere. Ideal and belief are inseparable. When we want to retreat in the face of difficulties again, think about Marx's famous saying: Only those who climb along steep mountain roads without fear of difficulties can hope to reach the peak of glory. I hope that when we meet, we can proudly tell our success, instead of giving up halfway without perseverance like a well digger, and finally getting sad!
