Wherever you are sincere, gold and stone will open.

Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing can do it.

If you persevere, the rotten wood will not be broken; if you persevere, the gold and stone can be carved.

As long as you work hard enough, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle.

A horse can leap forward but cannot take ten steps; a horse can drive ten times, but the merit lies in perseverance.

If you have perseverance, why bother to sleep from the third watch to the fifth watch? The most useless thing is to be exposed to the cold for ten days in one day.

Examples of famous people who can succeed through persistence:

Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, did not like reading when he was a child. One day, while the teacher was not at home, he quietly slipped out to play. He came to the river at the foot of the mountain and saw an old woman grinding an iron pestle on a stone. Li Bai was very puzzled and asked: "Old woman, what are you doing grinding the iron pestle?" The old woman said, "I am grinding a needle." Li Bai asked in surprise: "Oh! How can the iron pestle be ground into a needle when it is so thick?" "The old woman said with a smile: "As long as you grind it every day, the iron pestle can be ground finer and finer. Are you afraid that it will not grind into a needle?" After hearing this, Li Bai thought of himself, felt ashamed in his heart, turned around and ran back to the study room. From then on, he kept in mind the principle that "as long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle", studied hard, and finally became a great poet.

Before his expedition to Persia, Alexander the Great distributed all his property to his ministers. One of the ministers named Pierdigas was very surprised. Asked: "Your Majesty, what are you taking with you to set off?" "Hope, I only take this kind of treasure." Alexander replied. Upon hearing this answer, Pierdigas said: "Then let us share in it," and he declined the property assigned to him. Hope is the guidepost for creating life, don't give up on it at any time.

Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty dabbled in books when he was young, determined to inherit his father's business. Just when his writing of "Historical Records" was progressing smoothly, he was implicated in the "Li Ling Incident" and suffered castration. Faced with this great shame and humiliation, he did not sigh or sink, but forged ahead with determination, "secretly and furious". He had been wronged for decades and finally wrote "Historical Records", which "understands the changes of ancient and modern times and becomes a family story", which will be remembered for generations. .

Socrates assigned an assignment during a class, asking his disciples to do one thing and shake their hands a hundred times a day. After a week, he asked how many of them still insisted on doing it. Yes, 90% of people insisted on doing it. A month later, he asked how many people still insisted on doing it, and now only half of them answered. A year later, he asked again, and now only one person persisted, and that person was Plato.
