I once heard a wise saying: "Genius is the diligence of ninety-nine Eight Immortals, plus the talent of one Eight Immortals. Even geniuses need 99% diligence, let alone ordinary people? Therefore, if you want to succeed, diligence is the best policy. Talent is rare and helpful to everything, and its importance is of course undeniable. But with relative efforts, it is far from enough. As the saying goes, "diligence can make up for it, and diligence can make up for it." In other words, diligence can surpass talent. On the contrary, if you have only a little talent, or you are endowed with as many talents as a genius (an eight immortals), you can't be a genius without hard work, let alone a genius, because a genius grows from hard work. I believe many people have heard the story of "a firefly reflecting snow" and understand its truth. Che Yin, a famous scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was too poor to buy an oil lamp when he was a child, which made him unable to study at night, which made him very upset. But diligent, he will never give up. One midsummer night, he saw many fireflies flashing around him, giving off crystal light, so his heart moved. He thought, can't the light of fireflies be used? So he caught dozens of fireflies and put them in net bags to make fluorescent lamps. Since then, every night, he has studied diligently in such a dim light. Sun Kang, a contemporary of Che Yin, was too poor to buy an oil lamp. In winter, he uses the snow light reflected by moonlight to read books. With this spirit of studying hard, I finally became a very learned person. Let's talk about the way of doing things, regardless of talent! If you don't work hard, you will get limited or even nothing. The well-known Waiting for Him is a typical example. Stupid people always regard the small sweetness gained by an accidental opportunity as a way to replace their efforts. Some people may have worked hard and sweated, but because they gave up halfway, they were lucky, didn't work hard for a long time, and finally got nothing. "There is no way to learn books and mountains, and there is no limit to learning. Ancient sages knew that diligence was the key to success. Unfortunately, this suggestion is the most unpleasant for some young students. They don't like bitter medicine. They think that a little more talent than others can help them get twice the result with half the effort. Some even think that they can get something for nothing, and as a result, they gradually become lazy and hate work. Needless to say, their achievements must be in direct proportion to their efforts. It's a little late to regret it then. Why not work hard as soon as possible and make steady progress? On the contrary, some students with lower qualifications are not much different, just a few tenths of a square. However, they don't blame others for it. They are convinced that diligence can make up for the deficiency. Through unremitting efforts, they will eventually excel. Stop trusting geniuses. Diligence is our motto to forge ahead.

Famous words; (success or failure) 1. Hard work is the mother of success. Author: Cervantes 2. Failure is the mother of success Author: Philipps Story: Xunzi said in "Xunzi Outline" that "if the country wants to be rich and strong, it must be your teacher and your teacher; If you are a teacher and attach importance to Fu, your statutes will survive. The country will decline, not as light as a teacher; If you are a cheap teacher, you will be quick; If people are fast, the statutes are bad. " Hearing the words of the sage Xun, our teachers must be filled with emotion and shout the truth. Can be associated with the actual status of teachers today, we as teachers must feel dejected, shouting that today is different from before. In retrospect, Xunzi once became the academic leader of Jixia Academy. Lectures are "the most teachers" and are recognized as the most promising teachers. And was named "Doctor Lie" by the monarch of Qi State. As a teacher, how many people in history can enjoy this honor? In this way, it is clear to everyone why Xunzi can take such a fancy to the teacher and raise his position. However, looking back at the history after Xunzi, we find it strange that it was not Qi State that made Xunzi brilliant and the school founded by Xunzi finally unified China, but Qin State, which was called "the country of tigers and wolves". You may say that this ruthless fact overturns Xunzi's assertion. I don't think so. Education needs a specific economic and political foundation. In an era of frequent wars, social unrest, economic stagnation and devastation, education can never save people in from the mire. I don't think education is everything Although Qi was still an established power at that time, it had gone from bad to worse. Qin has strict laws and regulations and high efficiency, and a powerful country has risen. In such an era, it is no longer a question of how to preserve and protect, but who can seek innovation and change. Finally, the Qin State, which had the courage to reform and strive for innovation, was unified. This history seems unable to prove Xunzi's argument, but in fact Xunzi has another story. To sum up, Qin relied on martial arts and despised moral education. Without popular support, it is difficult to live in peace for a long time. Sure enough, as Xunzi expected, Qin Ershi died and his career was booming, but his decline was also sudden. It seems to conquer the world at once and rule the world at once. How to maintain order, we must promote learning, and learn to respect teachers. Only by respecting teachers and attaching importance to morality can culture maintain the development of the country and the nation. Otherwise, the country is old and weak, and the family is immortal in name only.
