Zhu Xi once said: the sword front comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold. This famous saying means: sharp swords are polished, and plum blossoms are so fragrant because they have survived the biting cold. In fact, it is true. If one wants to succeed, he must pass the severe test and painful training. Because success is not like a rushing stream leaning over to pick it up, it is like a snow lotus, which grows on the top of a snowy mountain. Only by overcoming many difficulties can it be picked up.

I remember one day in the fourth grade, my first unit test curly hair came down. This time, the paper was very simple. I thought I would get a high score, but my ideal was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. I scored a huge and dazzling score with a red pen on my paper. This score was like a blow, which completely knocked me out-I only got 75 points! God, this, no way, the lowest score in history! I am very disappointed, I feel useless, and I am ready to break the jar. Just as I was giving up on myself, my mother came over and said to me earnestly, "The sword front comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold. Success can't knock on your door actively. Think about it. You have been playing this summer, can your grades not decline?" After listening to my mother's words, I was enlightened, such as clearing the clouds and seeing the sky, and taking "the sword front is sharpened, and the plum blossom fragrance is bitter and cold" as my motto.

From then on, whenever I have free time, I will pick up a good book to read carefully, or pick up a Chinese book and write some easily forgotten words and texts over and over again. After class, I am still immersed in the sea of books. Whenever I am tired, I don't want to work so hard any more, there will always be that famous saying in front of me. So, I once again picked up good books and absorbed the rain of knowledge. I read one good book after another, and again and again, the good words, sentences and paragraphs in the book are deeply engraved in my mind, and I feel my writing level. Finally, the mid-term test that can prove that my efforts were not wasted arrived. When I got the perfect score paper, my heart was sweeter than eating honey. When I looked at the teacher's approving eyes and the envious eyes of my classmates, I knew that all this was due to this famous saying. Without it, I would have been a poor student today.

To this day, this famous saying is still my motto. It points me in the direction when I am confused, gives me courage when I am helpless, and restores my confidence when I fail. . . . .

I love this famous saying.
