Socrates once gave his students such a problem.
One day, he said to the students, "Today, we only learn the simplest and easiest thing, that is, throw your arm forward as much as possible, and then throw it forward and backward as much as possible." Then I demonstrated it myself. "From now on, I will swing my arm 300 times a day. Can everyone do it? " The students all laughed. How can such a simple thing not be done? So everyone answered loudly: "Yes."
After a month, Socrates asked his students, "How can some students keep swinging their arms 300 times a day?" More than 90% students proudly raised their hands.
Two months later, when he asked the question again, only 80% of the students persisted.
A year later, Socrates asked, "Please tell me, which students insist on doing the simplest swing arm exercise every day?" At this time, only one student raised his hand. This student was Plato and later became another great philosopher in ancient Greece.
This story tells us that success lies in persistence, which is the easiest thing to do, and anyone can do it as long as they are willing; Persistence is the hardest, because what can really be done is, after all, a few people. Plato insisted on doing it. Perhaps it was precisely because Plato did this that he later became another great philosopher in ancient Greece.
Many things in life can be done if you want to; We can overcome the difficulties we should overcome ourselves, and we don't need any iron will, let alone any skills and strategies; As long as a person is living a simple and interesting life, he will eventually find that the creator's arrangement for the world is natural.
Persistence can lead to success, and success lies in persistence. Precious snow lotus always blooms on the ice cliff, and only those who are not afraid of the cold and persevere can get it; Beautiful scenery is always hidden in the steep peaks, and only those who dare to climb and surpass can enjoy it. Success is the first bud that has been baptized by ice skates and frost swords and drilled from hard soil; Success is the sail that crosses the barrier of big wind and waves and reaches the harbor safely. Success requires indomitable self-confidence. In fact, the process of life is a process of persistence and accumulation. "Hemu was born in a milli; The nine-story platform starts from the foundation soil; A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. " As long as you have the determination and perseverance to persist, everyone can achieve the goal in your heart!
