"If you are constant, why do you have to sleep at night and get up at night?": The most useless thing is to be exposed to the cold for ten days in one day. "This is a couplet written by Hu Juren, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, which is intended to encourage yourself to persevere in doing things.

to persevere, we should focus on continuous accumulation, not cramming. "If you don't accumulate steps, there will be no miles; If you don't accumulate a small stream, you can't become a river. " As long as you keep accumulating, there is no "mountain" that you can't conquer. American writer Jack? In the room in London, there is a kind of decoration that everyone is amazed at-small pieces of paper. Whether it's curtains, clothes hangers or kitchen utensils, there are all kinds of pieces of paper, all of which are beautiful words. He put pieces of paper in every corner of the room and memorized them all the time. For ever, Jack? London's constant accumulation of language and materials enabled him to write with ease and wrote works as popular as Love Life.

Sima Guang was a playful and sleepy child when he was a child. Under the guidance of his teacher, he was determined to get rid of the bad habit of sleepiness. In order to get up early, smart Sima Guang made a police pillow out of logs. As long as you turn over, your head will fall on the bed board and people will naturally wake up. In this way, he got up early every day to study, persevered, and finally became a knowledgeable university scholar, and wrote the magnificent masterpiece Zi Zhi Tong Jian.

there is also the lotus law that people often say. The lotus in the lotus pond blooms twice as much as the day before. If the lotus blooms all over the pond on the 3th day, how many days will the lotus in the pond bloom half? Day 15? Not really! But the 29th day. This is also called the 3-day law. In reality, many people take things seriously at first ... but gradually, they begin to feel bored or even bored, and may give up their persistence on the 9th, 19th or 29th day. At this time, success is often only one step away.

indeed, in the end, everything is not about luck and cleverness, but about persistence. Let's learn to persist and always remember what Qian Xuesen once said: It is often the last key that opens the door.

Comment on the exercise

The exercise quoted couplets from the beginning, which showed his attitude that "perseverance is the most important thing in doing things". And choose Jack? The story of London's use of small pieces of paper to accumulate language discusses the first sub-argument, "Perseverance means focusing on continuous accumulation, not cramming for the Buddha's feet." Then, the story of Sima Guang getting up early every day and insisting on learning and the "Lotus Law" which is widely spread on the Internet are selected to discuss the second sub-argument: "Perseverance means persistence, not one exposure to ten cold". Finally, a call is issued to end the full text with Qian Xuesen's famous sentence "Often the last key opens the door". The argumentation process is clear and the argumentation language is very rigorous.
