Next sentence: The gods are complacent.
the original text is from Xunzi's exhortation to learn: the accumulation of soil makes mountains, and the wind and rain flourish; Little drops of water make an ocean, the dragon is born; Accumulate goodness into virtue, while the gods are complacent and the sacred heart is prepared.
It means that the soil piles up and becomes a high mountain, from which the wind and rain rise; The water flows into an abyss, from which the dragon was born; If you accumulate good deeds and cultivate noble moral character, you will naturally reach the highest wisdom and have the spiritual realm of a saint. Accumulate goodness into virtue and be good: good deeds, good things; Morality: noble character.
Expanding information:
This sentence is intended to tell the importance of accumulation in life. No matter what you do and what skills you learn, only by continuous accumulation, the whole person will be promoted from quantitative change to qualitative change slowly. The attitude of learning should be persistent, but not everyone can realize this, even if they know it well, they may not be able to implement it.
As for the spirit of perseverance, some people just dabble in it and give up halfway before they understand the true meaning. Others are anticlimactic and indulge in a good start, ignoring the tireless efforts of the other half. In the end, they will plant watermelons and get sesame seeds. What everyone should do is to set a goal from the beginning, keep their feet on the ground, move forward step by step, and never give up halfway.
You can't make a river or a sea without accumulating small steps. Everything starts bit by bit. No one can acquire rich knowledge without accumulating. Only by accumulating constantly can the knowledge he has mastered be continuously increased. The same is true at work, where you constantly learn new skills, master new methods, and work hard to overcome difficulties.
