Only strong people have divine will, and those who fight can win. The following is a collection of celebrity materials and aphorisms about self-improvement that I have compiled.

Celebrities who strive for self-improvement

1. Chen Ping: Chen Ping is a famous prime minister in the Western Han Dynasty. When he was young, his family was poor and he and his brother depended on each other. In order to uphold his father's destiny and shine in the family, he did not engage in production. He studied behind closed doors, but was not tolerated by his sister-in-law. In order to eliminate the conflict between brother and sister-in-law, he endured repeated humiliations. As his sister-in-law became more and more serious, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and ran away from home. He wanted to wander around the world. After being chased back by his brother, he returned home. Regardless of past grievances, he stopped his brother from divorcing his sister-in-law, which became a good talk in the local area. Finally, there was an old man who came here because of his reputation and accepted apprenticeships for free. After completing his studies, he assisted Liu Bang and achieved great success.

2. Sima Qian: Sima Qian was influenced by his father since he was a child. He liked history and accumulated information extensively. Following his father's instructions before his death, he began to study and organize information. Unexpectedly, an unexpected disaster caused him to be imprisoned, tortured, and castrated. However, He restrained himself, wrote vigorously, spent his whole life, and finally completed the history book.

3. Fan Zhongyan: Fan Zhongyan studied diligently when he was a child. He was from a poor family and had no food to eat. He could only drink porridge. In winter, he cooked the porridge, let it freeze, and then cut it into small pieces with a knife. He could only eat one piece a day. When his friends found out, they brought him food, but he let it rot without touching it. He told his friends that he could not let himself learn to enjoy it, and finally made a difference.
