One stone of wisdom brings rain;

The two ancestors and six sects of ancient Dharma. ——Zeng Guofan's admonition

Most things in the world are caused by mistakes;

Half of good people come from suffering. ——Zeng Guofan's self-titled study

This is a self-admonishment and self-encouragement study couplet. The first couplet is a self-admonishment, which means that things in the world are complicated and it is easy to make mistakes when you are busy, so you must guard against impatience. The word "many" is very appropriate and avoids the error of overgeneralization. The second couplet encourages oneself, happiness comes from hardship. People must be able to endure hardship and endure hard work. Only by going through hardships can they become a perfect person. The word "half" is also used very well, because to be a perfect person, it is obviously not enough to just endure hardships and stand hard work.
