Efforts are not necessarily successful, and no efforts are not necessarily successful.

Ten proverbs of knowledge changing fate (9)

-a public welfare report made on the central platform of a middle school in Beichuan.

Ninth sentence: efforts may not succeed, and efforts will not succeed.

The ninth sentence is: efforts may not be successful, and no efforts will be successful. This sentence corresponds to the relationship between two concepts: hard work and success. Originally, these two concepts have four possible components: effort and success; Try hard without success; No effort and success; There is no success without hard work. In fact, this sentence implies three combinations, which three are composed, and I will explain them slowly.

Let's see who this sentence belongs to first. I don't know, because it's not like a famous saying, but more like a slogan. Even the advertising language does not affect the release of this sentence. In an advertisement, China's NBA superstar Yao Ming once said this in his own thick voice. I believe this is the idea of the advertising planner behind him, but I can't say that this sentence was initiated by him.

Let's take a look at the first half of this sentence: efforts may not necessarily succeed. This statement includes two relationships: hard work and success; And two possibilities of trying but not succeeding. I tried, and I succeeded. Of course, everyone is happy and everyone loves me. Pursuing success and being able to succeed are all the reasons for everyone's efforts, and efforts are made to have a successful day. However, this sentence shows a cruel result, that is, I tried hard, but I still couldn't succeed. This is a bit wrong. When you meet anyone, you will feel innocent. You will feel that God is not good enough and your fate is miserable. There are such people, and there are many. What are you going to do if this happens?

The second half of this sentence just answers this question. Because I have tried and failed, I will have the idea of giving up; I've seen many other people try, but none of them succeeded, so people can only feel that they don't work hard. Well, if you really don't work hard, there is only one result waiting for you: you will definitely not succeed. In fact, the failure of efforts does not mean that efforts are useless and ineffective, but that efforts are not enough and not in place.

Efforts without success are not failures. What are you afraid of? Even if you really fail, you can still be a successful mother. Isn't there a saying that failure is the mother of success? Failure is not terrible, but giving up trying. In the enterprise family, almost all final successes include many failures. As we all know, great entrepreneurs, such as Wang Shi, Ma Yun and Shi Yuzhu, all have a "criminal record" of failure, so that they can't even pay their salaries, or even go bankrupt in debt. Before they succeeded, the first half of the sentence was fulfilled: efforts may not necessarily succeed. But they didn't give up, kept trying and finally succeeded.

So do politicians. Mr Deng Xiaoping failed three times, but he continued to try three times. Finally, he became the chief architect of reform and opening up, and led China to the fast lane of economic construction. In foreign presidential elections, many people failed twice or even three times, but they did not stop trying, and after learning the lesson, they continued to work hard and finally reached the peak of power. Churchill, the former British Prime Minister mentioned earlier, also lost in the re-election campaign, but he did not give up. Six years later, he went out to campaign hard, was elected as the British head of state for the second time, and won Nobel Prize in Literature as prime minister. Soldiers on the battlefield and generals who have won many battles are great, but generals who have lost many battles are equally worthy of admiration, because they never give up their efforts. If they give up their efforts, they have completely failed before, and they will persist until the last moment because they refuse to give in. For such soldiers, they know a truth too well, and they will fail if they don't work hard.

After that, I feel a little dizzy. But you should listen carefully, because in life, there is actually another situation: you succeed without hard work. How to explain this phenomenon? I have to admit that some people will be more successful if they don't work hard. In fact, this success is the result of a wrong definition, because the so-called success of those who don't work hard is temporary, and the final result is definitely unsuccessful.

For example, if parents have money, they will become "rich second generation" at birth. Is this a success? It doesn't count, because I didn't work hard, I inherited it, and it doesn't count. Please remember, there is a saying waiting for them, called: rich but three generations. Why not just three generations? Because I didn't work hard, I was defeated by myself or my next generation. For another example, parents have the right, and they can or may inherit the official position and become the "second generation of officials." This is also terrible, because there are many "unaffordable Liu Adou". Before long, the mountains and rivers laid by parents will be handed over to each other. All regime changes in history are the black sheep of the former "Liu Adou", and they are also the inevitable result of their lack of efforts. Also, some people get rich by gambling and lottery, but they also get it for nothing. Yes, something for nothing, and it's really something that can make people suddenly excited. However, what is the final result? Who has ever heard that people who are addicted to gambling will end up holding their winnings in their hands? How many people who won the lottery can finally survive? A survey in Britain shows that 70% of people who win the lottery will go bankrupt again after ten years and return to their original living standards. A few people, if they don't give up their efforts, can keep winning. Getting something for nothing, winning the lottery is a very small probability event, which is much smaller than the probability of being lost by a bird when going out. However, someone is possessed and the result is to try to bankrupt himself and make himself unsuccessful.

On the contrary, a person's continuous efforts have the power of faith to turn seemingly impossible things into facts. In 20 10, Mr. Qian Weichang, a famous scientist in China, passed away. This year, he was rated as the first person who touched China by CCTV. Why do you say he moved China? Because what he did seemed impossible, but through his efforts, it finally became a reality.

Qian Weichang is a man with a serious development of eccentric subjects. According to the present statement, he is good at liberal arts and poor at science. Such people are usually ignored or even discriminated against in present schools. He was born in a scholar's family in Wuxi, Jiangsu. 193 1 year. At the age of eighteen, he took the college entrance examination and was admitted to Tsinghua University. However, his achievements are at two extremes. According to the current college entrance examination policy, he must be a failed student. If he doesn't want to give up the idea of going to college, he can only go to an advanced class and take the exam the next year. Because his score is 200 points in Chinese and history, he applied for Tsinghua. At that time, there was a good institute of Chinese studies in Tsinghua University. Wang Guowei, Liang Qichao, Chen Yinque and Zhao Yuanren are all professors in this institute, which attracted him. However, Qian Weichang's performance in science was a mess, and he only got 25 points in mathematics, physics and chemistry. If he doesn't get two 100 scores there, some people may wonder if he is mentally underdeveloped.

193 1 08 September 18, the "September 18th Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries took place, and the Japanese began the first step of fully occupying China. On this day, it was the second day that Qian Weichang went to Tsinghua University History Department to study. When he heard the news, he was very angry: "I don't want to study history, I want to learn to build aircraft cannons." The needs of the country are my major. " This hot-blooded young man must have frightened everyone at that time. Think about it, math and physics are only 25 points, which can be said to have no scientific basis. How can we learn the major of building airplanes and cannons?

Faced with such achievements, the head of the physics department refused to accept him to study in the department. Qian Weichang was so stubborn that he alarmed the headmaster. Finally, the headmaster and dean agreed to let him try out in the physics department, but everyone didn't like him. At this time, Qian Weichang must understand the truth that "efforts are not necessarily successful, and no efforts are not necessarily successful". "Therefore, the only way out for him is to work hard. In order to catch up with the content of the course, he got up early and greedy for the dark, forgot to eat and sleep, and studied hard. As a result, at the end of the first semester, he was no longer the last one in his class, but by the time he graduated, he had become one of the best students in the physics department, and since then he has embarked on the road of saving the country through science. He studied in Canada, gave up the opportunity to study in the United States, returned to China to develop science and technology, and became the father of mechanics in China, a famous scientist and educator.

The length of human life is limited. Even if he lived to the age of 100, he only had more than 30,000 days, of which more than one third was spent in sleep, and one third was spent in growth, learning and degradation. It's really effective, and the time spent on work and leisure is only over 10 thousand days. If you waste a day's work and leisure, it is equivalent to wasting three days in your life. Others live to be 90 years old, and so do you. Therefore, each of us should study hard, gain more knowledge and ability through study, and make our life more valuable. If others live for 30 years, you should live for 90 years. Others live to be 90 years old, and you have to make contributions equivalent to 270 years. In the length of life, we can't really be three times that of others, but in the width and height of life, we may be more than three times that of others.

I have a theory: age and life span are the length of people; Happiness and happiness are the width of people; Achievement and contribution are the height of people. So to speak, the life that was originally just a line has become a three-dimensional life composed of three faces, and its value immediately appears. The life span is determined by human genes, and no one can change it. Short life and long life are decades of difference, several times of difference. The width of life is determined by one's own mentality. Content is always happy, rigid without desire, and generosity can always get more happiness and happiness. As far as the width of life is concerned, the difference between people may reach dozens of times. The height of life is determined by everyone's knowledge and structure, and he can reach as high as he can. The height of life varies from person to person, far greater than the difference between length and width. The difference is not the concept of several times or dozens of times, but the concept of hundreds or thousands of questions. Saints and sinners are the two extremes of this height, and the talented and the mediocre are the whole region where our attitude changes from looking up to disdain. Some people die and are completely forgotten a few years later, while others are remembered and admired by everyone after a thousand years. This is the height difference of life.

I hope that people present today will not only pay attention to the length of life, but also expand the width of life and strive to improve the height of life from today. Let's live a wonderful life in a three-dimensional world composed of longevity, happiness and contribution.
