Wang Xizhi practices calligraphy.
Many people have read the following two poems: In the old days, Xieyan Wang flew into the homes of ordinary people. Wang and Xie were two famous families in the Jin Dynasty. The Wang family, represented by Wang Xizhi, is a famous calligrapher. "The breeze is in the sleeve, and I will be in my arms next month." People use wonderful metaphors to describe Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. His brushwork, pen and ink, style and charm are admired by future generations. He is a great calligrapher without original works, but his calligraphy works are admired by later generations. His story is also a household name, known to all women and children.
Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy at the age of 7, and was diligent and eager to learn. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, he stole his father's previous calligraphy works and read them. When he is mature, he practices writing. He sat by the pool every day practicing calligraphy, seeing off the dusk and welcoming the dawn. He finished writing more or less ink, more or less rotten pens, and washed pens in the pool water every day. It took a long time for a pool of water to become ink. This is what people see in Shaoxing today.
Wang Xizhi concentrated on practicing calligraphy and forgot to eat and sleep. When he was eating and walking, he was also trying to figure out the structure of words. He kept scribbling on his body with his hands. Over time, his skirt was worn out. When Wang Xizhi was a child, he once had lunch, and the extremely boy brought him his favorite garlic paste and steamed bread. After urging him to eat quickly several times, he still didn't even look up, as if he didn't hear, and he was absorbed in reading posts and writing. The meal was cold, so Jibang had to ask Wang Xizhi's mother to persuade him to eat. Mother came to the study, only to find Xihe holding a steamed bread stained with ink and sending it to her mouth, making her mouth black. It turned out that when Xi Zhi was eating steamed stuffed buns, he was still looking at the words and thinking about how to write them in his mind. As a result, he mistook the ink for garlic. Mother couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene. Wang Xizhi still doesn't know what's going on Hearing his mother's laughter, he also said, "today's mashed garlic is really fragrant!" "
Referring to Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, there was a custom in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. On the third day of the third lunar month, people must go to the river to play, so as to eliminate the ominous. On the third day of March 9, Yonghe, Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi invited 41 scholars, including Xie An and Sun Chuo, to gather in Lanting to drink and write poems in Huiji Yin Shan. Forty-two celebrities were sitting by the stream, and buddhist nun put feathers full of wine into the stream, and the feathers fluttered with the wind. If the feather stops at someone's place, that person has to write a poem. If you can't do it, you will be fined three glasses of wine. When everyone was intoxicated with the aftertaste of the wonderful wine-scented poems, it was suggested that 37 poems written that day should be compiled into a collection, which is the Preface to Lanting Collection. At this time, many scholars urged Wang Xizhi to write Preface to Lanting Collection. Wang Xizhi was full of wine and rice, and began to write freely on silkworm paper in one go, resulting in the world-famous Preface to Lanting.
Whenever Wang Xizhi is mentioned, everyone will envy his achievements and marvel at his talent, but behind his success is more sweat and diligence. Edison said: "Genius is 1% inspiration plus 99% sweat", which fully proves that "Heaven rewards diligence" and it will never treat hard-working people badly. A person who doesn't want to work hard, who doesn't even want to sweat, can only waste his youth. Human history has produced two kinds of geniuses: one is extremely clever and the other is diligent all his life. And history pays special attention to the latter. Therefore, if you are determined to start a career, then the diligent boat can never be abandoned.
Finally, I want to use a sentence in Zhouyi as a conclusion to encourage everyone: Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement; The capacity of the earth is limited, so a gentleman must constantly cultivate his own virtue to undertake the world.
the Sudan
A magician performed magic in front of Sudan. His wonderful performance greatly praised Sudan and called him a genius.
However, a minister said, "Your Majesty, the master did not fall from the sky. His skills are the result of his diligent practice. "
The sultan was disappointed after being refuted by the courtiers and shouted contemptuously at him: "You have no genius, go to the castle!" " You can consider my words there. In order not to make you feel lonely, I'll give you two calves as company. "
From the first day he entered the cell, the priest practiced holding the calf and walked from the lower steps to the tower. A few months later, the calf grew into a strong bull, and the minister's strength increased greatly.
One day, Sudan suddenly remembered that his minister was still in prison and went to see him. When the Sultan saw him, he was very surprised: "God, how amazing and incredible this is."
The minister held a big cow in his hands and told the Sudan what he had said before: "Your Majesty, the master didn't fall from the sky. My strength is the result of my diligent practice. "
Without bitterness, there is no sweetness. Without hard-working hands, you are a' slave' by relying on the' charity' of others.
A drop of sweat, a harvest, there is no easy skill in the world, genius comes from diligence. If you can't work hard with the word "diligence", if you can't suffer from diligence, how can you get ahead? Only by sweating hard can trees thrive; Only when you have a hard meal will it be sweeter.
Go through difficult times
Nobel didn't go to school until he was eight years old, but he only studied for one year, which was the only formal school education he received. When he was 10 years old, his family moved to Petersburg, Russia. In Russia, because of the language barrier, Nobel and his two brothers could not enter the local school, so they had to hire a Swedish tutor to guide them to learn Russian, English, French, German and other languages. The frail Nobel studied very hard, and his studious attitude not only won the praise of teachers, but also won the love of his father and brothers. However, when he 15 years old, the three brothers had to stop studying because of family financial difficulties and could not afford the tuition. Nobel came to the factory run by his father as an assistant. He observed carefully and thought carefully, and all the important knowledge he heard and saw was keenly absorbed by him.
In order to study more, he went abroad to study 1850. In two years, he has been to Germany, France, Italy and the United States. Because he is good at observing and studying hard, he accumulates knowledge quickly. He soon became a multilingual scholar and a scientifically trained scientist. After returning to China, during his internship in the factory, he inspected many production processes, not only added a lot of practical technology, but also became familiar with the production and management of the factory.
In this way, Nobel, who had no formal education, finally became a scientist and inventor through hard work and persistent self-study.
Genius comes from diligence.
Coming to work in Tsinghua is an important turning point in Hua's life, and his mathematics career really started here.
From a junior high school graduate to a university teacher, it took Hua only six and a half years. Later, he said to his friend, "People have received more education than me, and I have to spend twice as much time to remedy my shortcomings, so I have to work 12 hours or more every day to feel at ease." During his four years in Tsinghua University, Hua published more than ten papers on number theory and taught himself English, French and German. By the age of 25, he had become an internationally renowned young scholar. Hua was quickly promoted from teaching assistant to teaching assistant and teacher, and was later hired as a researcher by China Cultural Education Foundation.
Hua has never been superstitious about genius, saying: "Genius is due to accumulation, and cleverness lies in diligence." As a warning to himself, he put forward the famous saying that "the old tree is easy to empty, the old man is easy to loose, and the scientific way is to keep it empty and loose, and I am willing to be loyal to it all my life." Shortly before his death, he wrote: "You don't know wisdom until you are white, and you should work hard for the future. Diligence is a good medicine, and one point of hard work is a talent. "
The jewel in the crown
Chen Jingrun, a young mathematician in China, insists on getting up at 3 am every day to learn a foreign language, and goes to the library every day to immerse himself in the ocean of mathematical symbols. Three days at noon, when the administrator left, he shouted and asked if there was anyone inside, but Chen Jingrun, who was absorbed in reading, didn't hear anything and was put in. Later, he looked at the locked door, smiled indifferently, felt hungry and tirelessly returned to the pile of books.
It is because of this diligence that Comrade Chen Jingrun won the "jewel in the crown" and became a famous mathematician.
Confucius
Confucius, surnamed Kong, named Qiu, was a famous thinker, educator and politician in the Spring and Autumn Period in China, and also the founder of Confucianism in China. The reason why he became a saint with 3,000 disciples and became famous in the world is inseparable from his efforts as a child. Some people say that "genius comes from hard work".
Confucius' mother taught him to read and write when he was three years old. By the time he was four years old, he could read more than 100 words. One day, his mother said, "Can you recite the words I taught you yesterday?" Kong Qiu said, "I remember everything." Mother said, "well, I'll test you tomorrow morning." Kong Qiu sleeps with his brother. That night, after he went to bed, he said to his younger brother, "Brother, have you remembered everything your mother taught you?" My brother said, "I remember everything. What about you? "
Kong Qiu said, "I've practiced many times, and I may have memorized it, but I'm not sure. My mother will test me tomorrow morning. If not, she will be very sad. No, I must get up and practice more. " The younger brother was moved by his spirit of studying hard and being filial to his mother. He said with distress, "It's cold. If you don't get up to practice, just write it on your stomach." I can feel right and wrong, so I can check what you wrote! "So little Kong Qiu wrote on his brother's chest. Whenever you write a word, read it out loud. But the voice grew louder and louder, and when he finished writing the last word, the voice could not be heard. After checking the last sentence, my brother listened to his even breathing and watched him smile sweetly and lovingly.
The next morning, when his mother took the exam, he passed again. The mother was surprised and said, "This child is really amazing. He taught him so many words the day before yesterday, and only one day later, he knew everything. He will surely do great things in the future! "
Kong Qiu looked at her mother's happy face and smiled happily. However, in this smile, there are two lines of tears.
My brother standing by knows him well and knows that behind his superhuman talent, more is my brother's perseverance and hard work.
