There is a saying in "The Doctrine of the Mean": "When you travel far, you will feel inferior; when you climb high, you will humble yourself." It means that if you want to go far, you must start from near; if you want to climb to the top of a mountain, you must start from the foot of the mountain. . Xunzi's "Encouragement to Learning" states: "Therefore, if you don't accumulate small steps, you can't reach a thousand miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't build a river." Just like the basic skills and common skills in Go, the basic skills are the foundation, and the expert skills are the creations. , you must use your own skills step by step to achieve mastery, and you must not use ordinary skills that seem to take shortcuts, but actually damage the whole body. Whether it is the classic wisdom of our ancestors or the popular saying that life is like a chess game, they all tell us a universal truth: Only by consolidating the foundation of life can we reach the top of the mountain and appreciate the scenery thousands of miles away.
"Step by step, read carefully and think carefully." Strengthen the basic skills, empower life, and accumulate strength for your masterful hands. Wang Xizhi attached great importance to the basics and practiced calligraphy every day. "Preface to the Lanting Collection" became famous all over the world, and the name of "Sage of Calligraphy" has been passed down to this day; Qi Baishi "closed the door for ten years", explored with difficulty, fish, shrimps, insects and crabs, full of interesting things, and finally became a generation of paintings Wonderful hand.
In the present, Huang Xuhua has been anonymous for 30 years, calculating data with an abacus and slide rule, tempering his life, and is famous as the "Father of Nuclear Submarines"; Nan Rendong, for more than 8,000 days and nights, without any distractions, carefully crafted " "Celestial Eye", "the father of China's Celestial Eye" shows his extraordinary skills. In various fields of building "important weapons of the country", there are countless masters like Huang Xuhua and Nan Rendong, and they all became masters of the country only after they played their own chess well.
From this point of view, the master hand is the source of living water. With the blessing of the master hand, everything will come naturally. On the contrary, without basic tempering, creation becomes water without a source and a tree without a root. "Genius girl" Gu Ailing jumped up from the big platform and completed a 1620 turn. When she landed easily and smoothly, she completed her own personal and even skiing event. If she didn't train hard non-stop, how could she have such a wonderful life? It can be seen that behind the masterful hand is the consistency of the master.
There is no doubt that when playing chess, it is easy to be eager for quick success and there are some common tricks, and the same is true in life. In the current era of materialism, we see parents who want their children to succeed but deprive their children of childhood happiness, young "old people" who have empty dreams but are unwilling to take action, and plagiarism who do not want to sit on the bench and plagiarize. College students... how to get rid of the temptation of utilitarianism and the vicious circle of vanity and impetuousness in life?
Mr. Yang Zhenning taught his disciples to "better to be clumsy than skillful" when doing scientific research. What he said is that there is no shortcut to learning, and one must take one step at a time. I think that this is the case in learning, and it is also the same in life. Get rid of the common mentality of eager for quick success and impetuous advancement, carry forward the spirit of being calm and down-to-earth, and wait for the unique and leading masters. I hope that you and I can "not live in idle dreams, and not live in false claims" and be able to see our own "thousand-mile map of mountains and rivers" when we are at the top of our game.
