Hard work will pay off.
1, basic explanation
Kung fu: ① skills; Cultivation refers to martial arts and "kung fu" (refers to taking up time and doing useful things diligently). This sentence refers to ③.
Negative: live up to it.
Willful person: a person who is willing to work hard and use his head. Intention: Intention, carefulness and seriousness.
Everything comes to him who waits: as long as you do one thing with your heart, you will succeed. Explain that the success of things lies in being willing to work hard. It has the same effect as "persistence is victory", but hard work pays off, and "persistence is victory" means persistence.
2. China's example:
(1) Smell the chicken dancing
Zu Ti in Jin Dynasty was an open-minded and ambitious person. But he was a naughty boy when he was a child and didn't like to learn to read. When he entered his youth, he realized his lack of knowledge and felt that he could not serve his country without studying, so he began to study hard. He read a lot of books extensively and studied historical knowledge seriously, from which he learned a wealth of knowledge and greatly improved his knowledge. He has been in and out of Luoyang, Kyoto for several times, and all the people he contacted said that he was a talent who could assist the emperor in governing the country. At the age of 24, Zu Ti was recommended to be an official. He not only refused, but also studied harder.
Later, Zu Ti and his childhood friend Liu Kun served as the main book of Sizhou. He and Liu Kun have deep feelings. They not only share the same bed, but also share the same lofty ideal: to make contributions, revitalize the state of Jin and become a pillar of the country.
Once, in the middle of the night, Zu Ti heard the cock crow in his sleep. After he woke Liu Kun up, he said to him, "People think it's unlucky to hear chickens crow in the middle of the night. I don't think so. How about we get up and practice swords when we hear chickens crow in the future? " Liu Kun readily agreed. So every day after the rooster crows, he gets up to practice his sword, and the light of the sword flies and the sound of the sword is sonorous. Spring goes to winter, cold goes to summer, and it never stops. Many things happen. After long and arduous study and training, they finally became generalists who can write good articles and lead troops to win the battle. Zu Ti was named General Zhenxi, realizing his desire to serve the country. Liu Kun became the commander-in-chief in charge of military affairs in Hebei and Youzhou, and also gave full play to his literary talent and military talent.
(2) Gong Yu moved mountains.
Legend has it that an old man in his nineties lived in Beishan, named Gong Yu.
There are two mountains in front of his house, Taihang Mountain and Wuwang Mountain, which are inconvenient to get in and out. Yugong consulted with his family and wanted to dig them up.
Gong Yu's wife asked a question: "Where did you put the stones and mud on the mountain?" Regardless of this, Gong Yu and his sons began to transport the excavated soil and stones to the Bohai Sea far away, only once a year.
An old man named Zhisou in Hequ advised Gong Yu not to be stupid. How can he dig Hirayama at his age? Yu Gong said, "When I die, I have a son. When my son dies, I have a grandson, and the grandson has a son. How can we dig uneven mountains if we continue to work for generations? "
Yugong mobilized the strength of the whole family and moved the Jade Emperor, who sent Hercules to move mountains.
Old and weak; Few people; On the surface, great difficulties like simple tools and long-distance transportation seem "stupid". However, Yu Gong was not intimidated by the immediate difficulties because he had great ambitions. It can be seen from "referring to the south of Henan and reaching Hanyin" that he moved mountains to benefit thousands of people and future generations in Qian Qian, Qian Qian. In addition, his confidence in moving mountains comes from his correct understanding of the relationship between man and nature. He understands that human strength is "infinite" and "the mountains do not increase". His knowledge is far higher than the average person, and he is really "still smarter than a fool". However, Wan Zhi only looked at the problem from a static perspective, thinking that natural conditions could not be changed, and only saw the strength of a generation, thus concluding that people could do nothing in front of nature, which was really "short-sighted". The above analysis shows that fools are not stupid and wise men are not wise. This inversion not only intensifies the contrast tone, but also has an ironic effect.
③ Jian Zhen Du Dong.
Jian Zhen became a monk at the age of 18 and studied Buddhism diligently. In 742, Japan sent Yung Wing and Pu Zhao to China to invite Jian Zhen monks to preach in Japan. Jian Zhen failed to cross Hainan Island three times. In 753 AD, Japan sent its envoy to China for the tenth time, and Jian Zhen finally took the Japanese mission to Kyushu, Japan.
(4) grinding the iron pestle into needles
Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, didn't like reading when he was a child. One day, while the teacher was not at home, he sneaked out to play.
He came to the river at the foot of the mountain and saw an old woman grinding an iron pestle on a stone. Li Bai was puzzled and asked, "Old woman, what are you doing grinding the iron pestle?" The old woman said, "I am grinding the needle." Li Bai was surprised and asked, "Oh dear! As thick as a pestle, how can it be ground into a needle? " The old woman walked over and said, "As long as the pestle is always ground more and more finely every day, are you still afraid that it is not a needle?"
Li Bai, a clever man, was ashamed of himself after hearing this. He turned and ran back to the bookstore. From then on, he kept in mind the truth that "as long as kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is ground into a needle" and studied hard. Later, he became a great poet and was honored as a "poetic fairy" by later generations.
3. Foreign examples:
(1) Churchill practiced speaking.
Churchill, the British Prime Minister during World War II, was an outstanding speaker and was listed as one of the world's 10 famous speakers. However, when Churchill gave a speech at the meeting for the first time, he fell down-halfway through, he suddenly forgot the following words, and he couldn't remember. He blushed and had to interrupt his speech and return to his seat awkwardly. However, he was not discouraged. He devoted himself to the study of speech skills and often exercised his oral expression ability. Churchill eventually became a famous orator and an outstanding politician in the 20th century.
Madame Curie discovered radium.
From 65438 to 0897, Madame Curie studied radioactive substances. In order to extract a pure natural radioactive element, she got a ton of industrial waste residue that may contain this substance. Smelting, dissolution, precipitation and analysis are all carried out in the courtyard. She is not afraid of hardship or the effects of radiation on her health. After three years and nine months, she finally extracted 0. 1 g new substance from several tons of slag and named it radium. This research also won her a Nobel Prize. But she doesn't love honor, treats money like dirt, awards medals to her youngest daughter and donates bonuses to France in the war. Her spirit has been praised by people from all over the world.
