As the old saying goes, "Make it difficult, do your best", which comes from Su Shi's famous work Theory of Thought and Governance. The original text is: "Ancient people, how can they make things easy and do their best?"
Appreciate:
Su Shi raised such a question: What did those successful people in ancient times rely on to overcome the most difficult problems and pursue the most ambitious goals? In this regard, Su Shi gave the answer in the Thought of Treating Taoism: "Be brave, be expert and be strong". In other words, when the ideal has been determined and the goal is clear, we must be fearless, brave and firm, and overcome difficulties.
Only in this way can the cause succeed. In order to illustrate this truth, Su Shi cited some typical examples in history and pointed out that the reason for their success lies in their foresight, courage, determination and verve.
