I remember when I was a child, I learned guzheng. Because I was young, I couldn’t understand it well in class and it was very difficult to practice. Once, the teacher asked us to recite a piece of music. I was not proficient at it. I practiced it several times at home, but there were always pauses and mistakes in notes. Because I didn’t play well, the more I played, the angrier I became, and finally I dropped the music score on the ground. After a fall, my mother came over and said: "The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Only by hard work can you be rewarded. Now you can't even overcome any difficulty and give up easily. How can you learn a skill well?" "Listening to my mother's words, I thought to myself: Yes, I just encountered a little difficulty and was about to give up. How can I learn guzheng well? Isn't it just memorizing it? If others play it twice or three times, I will play it five or six times, and I will always succeed. Thinking of this, I picked up the sheet music and continued practicing. From now on, I will try my best to complete every task assigned by the teacher.
During the summer vacation, the teacher saw that I played well and asked me to participate in a competition. I have to play for two hours every day. Every time I finish playing, there are big beads of sweat on my forehead. My feet become sore and numb that I can't walk. My fingers are sore. When I feel discouraged, I always think of what my mother said to me: "The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." I would secretly encourage myself: If you want to succeed, you have to work hard. Aren't I just sharpening? ? A sword that has not been sharpened will not be sharp, and a sword that has not been sharpened will not be sharp. Where can the fragrance of plum blossoms come from without experiencing a "chill to the bone"? My efforts will be rewarded, so I continue to practice. Hard work paid off, and I won the silver medal in this competition.
