With perseverance, gold and stone can be carved. If you cannot persist to the end, even the rotten wood cannot be broken. It is said that as long as you insist on carving with a knife, you can carve floral decorations even on metal and jade. The extension is: As long as you work hard unremittingly, you can do even the most difficult things.
The translation is as follows:
1. Small clods of soil pile up into mountains, and wind and rain rise from there; water flows merge into abyss, and dragons grow there; accumulate good deeds and form good character. You will gain the highest wisdom and have the ideological realm of a saint.
2. Therefore, if you don’t accumulate every small step, you can’t reach a thousand miles; if you don’t collect the trickles, you can’t form a river or sea. A good horse can't jump ten steps with one jump; a bad horse can go far in a carriage for ten days. Its success lies in not stopping.
3. If you use a knife to carve something, if you stop in the middle, the rotten wood will not be able to cut; if you keep carving, you can carve gold and stone successfully. The earthworm does not have sharp claws or strong muscles, but it can eat soil and drink spring water because it is single-minded; the crab has six legs and two large pincers, but it has nowhere to live in a cave without an eel. Because of his impetuous mind.
