1. Success is inseparable from accumulation
American writer Jack London’s room has strange decorations. There are pieces of paper hanging on the curtains, hangers and kitchen utensils. Some wonderful words were recorded on pieces of paper. He placed the pieces of paper in every corner of the room so that he could recite them at any time. It was this continuous accumulation of language and materials that Jack London could achieve. He was very good at writing and wrote such popular works as "Love of Life" and "Iron Hoof".
The story of Jack London illustrates a truth; "Success is inseparable from accumulation." This is very inspiring to us. Learning is a step-by-step and persevering process. It is impossible to achieve success in learning overnight and become a great scholar, because this does not conform to the objective laws of people's understanding of things. This is what Xunzi, an ancient Chinese thinker, said in his exhortation to learning: "When water accumulates, it becomes abyss, when soil accumulates, it becomes a mountain, when good deeds accumulate, it becomes virtue."
Some students do not pay attention to the accumulation of knowledge. As people often say, people without ambition often make up their minds. Although they spend a lot of time studying, they gain very little. It is difficult to solve practical problems when time is limited.
In daily study, we should pay attention to reading more, memorizing more, writing more, and have the spirit of water droplets. In the process of reading, we should accumulate more knowledge and strive to improve our understanding of the language. and application ability, and use knowledge in daily study and life to be able to master it with ease and mastery.
As Deng Tuo said, the real so-called achievement is to develop on the basis of previous knowledge and experience. Without accumulation, there is nothing to talk about. Only by focusing on accumulation and continuous accumulation can we lay a deep foundation. The root of knowledge. We must learn from Jack London's spirit of perseverance and long-term accumulation, take our studies seriously, and master a skill in order to gain a foothold in society.
2. Chiseled the wall to steal the light
Kuang Heng, courtesy name Zhigui, was born in Donghai (the name of Hanjun in the Western Han Dynasty) from the east of Pi County in Jiangsu Province to the sea, and connected with Ziyang County in Shandong Province. People from the east to the sea area). He comes from a farming family, and his grandfather and father have been farmers for generations. He was born in Kuangheng, but he likes to read. When he was young, his family was poor. He worked as a hired worker during the day to make ends meet, and only had time to study at night. But the family was so poor that they couldn't even light a candle. The neighbor's lamp is bright, but it can't shine. Kuang Heng came up with a way to cut a hole in the wall next to the neighbor's house, "steal" a little light from it, and let the neighbor's light shine through. He held the book and read in front of the cave against the light.
Kuang Heng’s family was too poor to afford books. There was a rich man in my hometown who had a rich collection of books in his home. Kuang Heng went to his house to work, but he didn't receive any wages. The rich man felt strange and asked Kuang Heng why? Kuang Heng said: "I don't want wages, I just hope you can lend me all the books at home to read, and I will be very satisfied." After hearing this, the rich man was deeply moved by his diligent and studious spirit, and he agreed to his request. From then on, Kuang Heng had an excellent opportunity to study. History books say that Kuang Heng was energetic and surpassed ordinary people. The wealthy family's rich collection of books, coupled with Kuang Heng's own diligent efforts, finally turned him into a knowledgeable scholar. There was even a saying among scholars at that time: "No one could explain the Book of Songs, but Kuang Ding came; Kuang Heng explained the poems to Renyi (no one could explain the Book of Songs, but Kuang Heng happened to come; Kuang Heng explained it to everyone) After solving the doubts in "The Book of Songs", everyone burst into laughter." This shows that his reputation is very high. At that time, many scholars worshiped him as their teacher and learned from him.
