They sit on the bench and eat cold pork. ?This sentence is a famous saying of the famous historian Fan Wenlan. Only by being willing to be lonely can you achieve success, which is the best explanation for this sentence. The origin of this sentence has to start from the past. In the past, those who had high morals, proficient knowledge and made great contributions to the country could have their tablets placed in the Confucian Temple after their death, and enjoy special treatment, sharing with the Confucian saints. cold pork. Only by studying hard day after day, year after year, enduring loneliness, and sitting on the "cold bench" can we stand out and achieve success, and finally enjoy the "cold pork" of sacrifice to Confucius. This "cold bench" and "cold pork" complement each other. Only by enduring hardship can you enjoy the joy of final success. The reason why Fan Wenlan, a leading historian, is famous at home and abroad is precisely because he has been sitting on the "cold bench" for decades. Not only has he written numerous works and is famous throughout history, but he also has the qualification to share "cold pork" with Kong Sage.

In Japan, there are two first-class swordsmen, Miyamoto Musashi and Yagyu Matajuro. They have a master-student relationship. When his apprentice Matajuro Yagyu studied swordsmanship with Miyamoto Musashi, they had this conversation:

The apprentice asked: "I want to become an excellent swordsman. How long will it take if I study hard?" /p>

Master replied: ?A lifetime of time. ?

The apprentice asked: ?How long will it take to be your loyal slave? As long as you teach me, I am willing to endure no matter how much hardship it takes. ?

Master replied: ?Ten years. ?

The apprentice asked: ?My old father is very old, and I will have to take care of him soon. If I study harder, how long will it take?

Master replied: Thirty years. ?

The apprentice asked: "It was said ten years and then thirty years. Why is this happening? I am determined to master the swordsmanship in the shortest possible time." ?

Master replied: Haste makes waste, as is the case with people who are eager for quick success. If you have this mentality, it will take you seventy years. ?

As an apprentice, Matajuro finally realized that he was too impatient, so he calmed down and came to learn from his master. The training began, but the master's requirements for the apprentice were unexpected: let him cook, wash, and clean, and he was not allowed to practice swordsmanship. Three years have passed like this, and Matajuro is still doing these seemingly meaningless things, and he can't help but worry about his future.

One day, when the apprentice was not paying attention, the master quietly hit him hard behind the back with a wooden sword. The next day, he took advantage of his unpreparedness to attack again. From then on, the apprentice Matajuro had to be on high alert at all times to guard against the master's surprise attack at any time. Day after day, year after year, Matajuro eventually became the most powerful swordsman in Japan.

It can be seen that if you want to achieve something, you can only achieve success if you can withstand loneliness and practice with concentration.

He believed that only by restraining impulses could one achieve his goals, emphasizing the importance of self-regulation of emotions. What we call our goals is multifaceted'. In today's society, there are all kinds of temptations, big and small. We know that smoking is harmful to the body, but we indulge ourselves in continuing to smoke because of the pleasure of smoking. We know that playing games is addictive, but we indulge in them. All adults will be affected by romance, fame and wealth. The lure of status. If you blindly pursue temporary happiness and small immediate satisfaction without considering long-term interests, you will never succeed. Although the small temptations or small benefits in front of you can give you temporary satisfaction, they will prevent you from achieving greater success in the future. Therefore, please be sure to stand firm and withstand the suffering of loneliness.
