1. Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Benefit from what it cannot do.

Translation: Therefore, when God is going to place a great responsibility on such a person, he must first make his heart suffer, make his muscles and bones tired, make him suffer from hunger, make his skin become thin, and make him suffer from poverty. The pain of suffering makes what he does confusing and always unsatisfactory. Through these things, he can make his heart alert, make his character firm, and increase the talents he does not possess.

2. The stumbling block is the step forward.

3. If there is a will, things will come true; if the cauldron sinks the boat, a hundred and two Qin passes will eventually return to Chu; if you work hard, God will not let you down; if you lie on the firewood and taste the courage, three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu.
