The meaningful inscription "If I rest, I will rust" found on an old key will be an excellent motto for those who are affected by slight laziness. Even the most industrious people may use it to remind themselves that if a person lets his abilities rest, like iron in an unused key, they will soon rust and eventually fail to finish the work they are asked to do.
I found a deep inscription on an old key-if I rest, I will rust. For lazy and troubled people, this will be a wise saying. Even the most diligent people take this as a warning: if a person has talents and doesn't use them, like iron on a discarded key, these talents will rust quickly and eventually fail to complete the work assigned to him.
Those who want to reach and maintain the heights of great men must maintain their abilities through constant use, so that they can open the door to knowledge, which is the door to every department of human efforts, such as occupation, science, art, literature and agriculture.
Some people want to achieve what great men have achieved and maintained, and they must constantly exert their talents.
In order to open the door of knowledge, that is, the door of all fields that human beings are trying to explore, including various occupations: science, art, literature, agriculture and so on.
Diligence is the key to the treasure house of achievement. Hugh Miller will never become a famous geologist if he spends his evenings relaxing and entertaining after working in a quarry all day. If the famous mathematician Edmund Si Tong had nothing to do in his spare time, he would not have published a mathematical dictionary, nor would he have found the key to open the door to mathematics. If Ferguson, a young Scottish boy, put his busy brain to sleep while herding sheep on the hillside, instead of calculating the position of the stars through a string of beads, he would never become a famous astronomer.
Diligence keeps the key to success bright. If Hugh Miller relaxes at night after working in a quarry all day, he won't become a famous geologist. Edmund Si Tong, a famous mathematician, would not have published a mathematical dictionary or found the key to open the door of mathematics if he had nothing to do in his spare time. If Ferguson, a young Scotsman, kept his active brain at rest while herding sheep on the hillside instead of counting the positions of the stars with a string of beads, he would not become a famous astronomer.
Labor conquers everything-not unstable, intermittent or wrong-headed labor, but faithful, persistent and daily efforts in the right direction. Just as eternal vigilance is the price of freedom, eternal diligence is the price of noble and lasting success.
Labor conquers everything. The labor referred to here is not intermittent, intermittent and off-direction, but firm, persistent, daily and in the right direction. Just as we must always be vigilant if we want to have freedom, we must make unremitting efforts if we want to achieve great and lasting success.
