Zeng Guofan once said: "Those who have achieved great things in ancient times mostly come from diligent small things." ”
Throughout the ages, all those who have achieved great things have been accumulated from the little things such as diligence in life. As the saying goes, dripping water through stones is not the power of water, but the power of repetition.
When a small thing can be done to the extreme, it is not simple, ordinary things are extraordinary to be extreme, and ordinary things are not ordinary.
One day, Zeng Guofan was reading at night. A thief was about to steal, but he saw Zeng Guofan reading there, and it was difficult to start, so he hid on the beam of the house, ready to wait for him to sleep before doing it. However, Zeng Guofan memorized "The Story of Yueyang Tower" in the middle of the night, and he still stumbled. The thief couldn't stand it anymore, so he jumped down and pointed at him and scolded: "You are so stupid, what kind of book are you reading!".The thief recited "The Story of Yueyang Tower" to him and walked away.
Zeng Guofan demanded that he must "smell the chicken and dance", read no less than ten pages of history every day, and write for no less than half an hour after eating. In the early years, he learned diligence from his grandfather, and later he made a sixteen-character family motto: "If the family is thrifty, it will be prosperous, and if the person is diligent, it will be healthy;."can be diligent and thrifty, never poor and cheap", and passed on diligence to future generations, since then the Zeng family has been trained for generations and cultivated a good family style.
As the saying goes, diligence can make up for clumsiness, Zeng Guofan's talent is dull, but he has been devoting himself to studying all his life, cultivating himself, and eventually becoming a famous minister of the late Qing Dynasty.
The mediocre people in ancient and modern times are all defeated by the word 'lazy'. Treat laziness with diligence, overcome laziness with diligence, whether it is self-cultivation, self-cultivation, or doing things, there is nothing difficult in the world of diligence!
When Mr. Lu Xun was in school, he also carved a morning character on the table, and since then he has urged himself to get up early to study and Xi.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, no matter how close the road is, you have to measure it with your feet to reach it, and no matter how small the matter is, you have to solve it with both hands.
People always envy the success of others, that is the hands of others, no matter how successful others are, what good will it do you?The punishment for laziness is not only one's own failures, but also the successes of others.
Every lazy day is a failure of life. Choose the goal that suits you, bow down to the game, keep your feet on the ground, time will tell, time will give you the answer!
Don't chase horses, use the time to plant grass, there will be a large number of horses for you to choose from next year. This is a famous quote by Nobel laureate Tu Youyou, which deeply touched me and made me understand that the true meaning of life is not to chase horses, but to plant grass, and the good grass is coming, and the horses are coming.
In this rapidly changing society, we always focus on the goal, the success, and the so-called honor, but we forget to achieve the perseverance in the journey.
Only by remaining diligent and diligent in learning Xi can we continuously improve our ability to overcome difficulties and better meet the needs of social development.
In the law of compound interest, quantity is the most important quality, from quantity to quality, many times, we think that the quality problem is essentially a quantity problem, because the quantity is not enough, the foundation is not thick enough, so it cannot achieve the expected effect.
A small advantage, as long as you stick to it, it will gradually expand and eventually lead to great success.
There is no shortcut in life, no hard work is a harvest, choose the right goal, hard work is the best shortcut, diligence is the best stepping stone. Don't try to achieve it in one step, only to fall into the shackles of failure.
The best time to start was ten years ago, followed by now. So, if you missed out on ten years ago, then start now!
