Diligence is the foundation, and hard work is the strength
Zeng Guofan pointed out: "All the mediocrities in the world, ancient and modern, are defeated by a lazy word."
a generation of famous officials have emphasized "diligence" all their lives, and their success is inseparable from every diligence. Diligence begins with curing laziness.
according to historical records, Zeng Guofan was the first in the diligent ranking of Qing officials.
when he was in the army, Zeng Guofan demanded that he must "smell the chicken and dance", whether it was windy or rainy, it didn't matter whether the environment was bad or not, day after day, he went to bed late and got up early, trained and supervised, and handled affairs.
after he became an official in the DPRK, his office efficiency was even higher. Have you read such a data: in just six months, he has processed more than 4, volumes of documents, and every one of them has been carefully reviewed without carelessness.
Zeng Guofan's diligence is not blind or blind. He is also diligent in finding problems and methods, solving them early and achieving peace early.
throughout his life, heaven rewards diligence.
As the saying goes, "Nothing is difficult in the world if you are diligent, and everything will rest if you are lazy."
Diligence is the foundation, and failure is born from laziness. The degree of diligence can determine a person's achievement.
what can really make you go far is always positive, self-discipline and diligence.

Perseverance, so as to achieve your final goal
Zeng Guofan has a saying: Perseverance is what counts.
Shakespeare also said, "You should do your best in everything, and those who give up halfway will never achieve anything."
It took Li Shizhen nearly 3 years to finish Compendium of Materia Medica, giving up his career and sticking to medicine, studying in thousands of books and taking the road of Wan Li.
Darwin generously praised this book as "an encyclopedia of ancient China".
There has never been an overnight success, and Wang Xizhi, a "book saint", is no exception.
Wang Xizhi washes pens in the pool every day after practicing calligraphy, using countless bottles of ink and writing countless pens. Over time, the pool runs out of ink, and he is called "Mo Chi", and he has also developed a pen power of "getting into the wood".
haste makes waste, and success comes from persistence.
it's enough to be born as a human being, even though I still have my thoughts.
I have worked hard all my life and persisted all my life. In my later years, Zeng Guofan felt with emotion:
A person's life is like the process of fruit ripening, so you can't worry or slack off.
people's efforts and cultivation will make a tree grow quietly and make a person mature slowly.

Diligence and perseverance make everything possible
Diligence makes Hua Luogeng, a poor student, a great mathematician, and he is listed as one of the 88 mathematicians in the Chicago Museum of Science and Technology.
persistence has created Cao Xue's feat of "reading for ten years, adding and deleting five times", and also created the immortal masterpiece A Dream of Red Mansions in the history of world literature.
Everything in the world is persistent, and time will give the most due reward.
Nowadays, many young people are full of energy and enthusiasm for three minutes:
They want to keep fit, spend a lot of money to get an annual card, go there twice and then throw it in the drawer;
An old writer once warned young people: Don't always think that you will make a comeback tomorrow. You can look back, but you never succeeded.
excellent as Zeng Guofan, he still wrote in his diary in his later years: he hates himself for being young and doesn't know how to work hard, and he often regrets in his old age.
