This article by Zhuge Liang is only about 80 words long, but it has profound connotations. As young people, we must not only have lofty ideals and lofty aspirations, but also have concrete and feasible measures to realize our ideals and aspirations and the perseverance to overcome difficulties and eliminate interference. Otherwise, the ideal may become a fantasy and even reduce oneself to mediocrity and obscurity without realizing it. Zhuge Liang's letter talks about this principle.

If a person is ambitious, determined, thinks carefully, and then takes action, he is very likely to succeed in the increasingly fierce social competition. Otherwise, it will inevitably fail. Zeng Guofan also taught his children to be "ambitious, knowledgeable and perseverant" in his family training.

If you have ambition, you will not be willing to be humble; if you have knowledge, you will know that knowledge is endless, and you will not dare to be self-satisfied with one thing; if you have perseverance, you will not be able to achieve anything. The views of these extraordinary characters embody their lifelong life experiences, and they all have the same purpose.
