A few short stories about celebrities who study diligently

Su Qin used an awl to prick his legs to clear his mind after studying day and night during the Warring States Period; In order to prevent him from falling asleep while studying, Sun Jing tied his hair to the beam with a rope. As long as he dozed off, he would be woken up. This is the story of "thorns hanging on the beam" in history.

Che Yin, Sun Kang, and Kuang Heng, who cut through walls to steal money from the Jin Dynasty, were all so poor that they couldn't even afford oil for lighting lamps. On summer evenings, Che Yin made a small bag with gauze, caught some fireflies and put it in it, and read with the light emitted by the fireflies; Sun Kang sat in the snow on a cold winter night, using the reflection of the snow to read hard; Kuang Heng I cut a small hole in the wall and "stole" some light from my neighbor's house to read. The idioms "The firefly reflects the snow" and "The wall is cut to steal the light" tell these stories.

Wang Xizhi, the great calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, practiced calligraphy hard since he was a child. Every time he finished writing, he would go to the pond in front of his house to wash his brush. Over time, the pool of clear water turned into a pool of ink. Later, people called this pond "Mochi". Through diligent study and practice, Wang Xizhi finally became a famous calligrapher and was known as the "Sage of Calligraphy".

Helen Keller has a book. Have you read it? The name of this book is "The Story of Diligence and Study". This book records the stories of many famous people studying hard. Let me tell you about one of them: Helen Keller. I believe everyone knows it, right? She is a famous female writer in the United States. She suffered a serious illness when she was a child, which made her blind and lost her hearing. When Helen was seven years old, her parents hired a teacher to help her learn. But Helen couldn’t see or hear, so how could she learn? So the teacher thought of a way: first give her a doll to play with, and then write the word doll on the palm of her hand, so that Helen would know what a doll is. Therefore, Helen quickly fell in love with this method of learning. From then on, Helen used this method to learn. She memorized words one by one. Over time, she learned a lot of words. You can think about it, as a deaf and blind child, what difficulties did Helen have to overcome? But she was not afraid of difficulties, studied and lived with amazing perseverance, and finally became a world-famous writer. Nowadays, people's living and learning conditions are much better. There is no need to "cut through walls to steal light", let alone imitate the practice of "thorns and hanging beams", but the diligent and studious spirit of the ancients is worth learning from, and we are all healthy People are much better than Helen Keller. As long as we learn not to be afraid of difficulties, don’t give up halfway, study hard, and are determined to become talented, we will definitely succeed.
