In the course of life, adversity accounts for 67/ 10, and prosperity accounts for 34/ 10. These two situations often appear alternately. No matter how big or small things are, there will inevitably be resistance several times or even ten times. Although there is some big and some small resistance, it is inevitable in short. Those who are weak in ambition and ability will say from the beginning that I will do whatever I want. He felt in his heart that what happened in the world was very simple and easy. When he tried at once, the resistance suddenly came and he lost confidence. People with weak willpower, on the spur of the moment, passed this first pass and flinched when they met the second setback; People with a slightly stronger will will only shrink back after three or four setbacks; No matter how strong a person is, he will only shrink back after five or six setbacks. The bigger he does, the more setbacks he encounters, and the harder it is for him not to back down. No one can be good at reaching its destination unless he is very strong.
Do not flinch when encountering setbacks, and there will be small prosperity after small adversity; After great adversity, there must be great prosperity. No matter how complicated the situation is, it will be solved one day. Onlookers just envy others' success and think that this person is probably a lucky one, and God always loves him for some reason. I also think that I have been reckless, so my grades are not as good as his. Such people don't know the so-called "bad luck" and "good luck". It is the same for him and me, and whether he can conquer these "bad luck" and make use of these "good luck" at the same time is the difference between his success and failure. Let's take sailing for example. If it takes twenty days to walk a thousand miles, during this period, the wind and tide sometimes run counter to each other and often affect each other. With the strength of hard work and patience, he ran against the wind and countercurrent, so that he could move forward calmly and spend a smooth journey. But I will come back one day, two or three days, or five or six days, so I will never reach the other side.
Confucius said: "for example, to build a mountain, you need a basket of soil." If I stop, I will stop by myself; " Another example is filling soil, even if only a basket of soil is poured, I will continue to fill it and fill it myself. Mencius said, "People who do things, such as digging wells, dig seven or eight feet deep, but they haven't dug well water yet, and they are still abandoned. "The law of success or failure, that's all.
2. What was the "charcoal man" who described the hard industry in ancient China? Bai Juyi
An old man selling charcoal cuts wood and burns charcoal in the mountains in the south all year round.
His face was covered with dust, which was the color of smoke burning, his temples were gray, and his ten fingers were burnt black.
What is the money for selling charcoal for? Buy clothes, buy food in your mouth.
Pity that he is wearing thin clothes, but he is worried that charcoal can't be sold, hoping it will be colder.
At night, it snowed a foot thick outside the city. Early in the morning, the old man drove a charcoal wheel to the market.
Cows are tired and people are hungry, but the sun has risen very high. They are resting in the mud outside the south gate of the market.
Who is that proud man riding on two horses? It was the eunuchs in the palace and eunuchs who did it.
The eunuch, with documents in his hand and the emperor's orders in his mouth, shouted at the petrified palace.
It's a pity that a car full of charcoal, more than a thousand Jin, is driven by an official to a general.
Half a horse's red yarn is a silk, which is filled with charcoal to the cow's head.

Translation:
My family is poor and I can't grow enough to support myself. The child gave birth to a house, and there was no food in the rice jar, so there was no way to get it. My relatives and friends often advise me to go out and be a small official. I have this idea myself, but there is no way to hire an official. There happened to be an overseas mission, and all county chiefs took caring for talents as their virtue. My uncle was appointed as an official in this town because he saw my poverty and hardship. At that time, the war had not subsided, and I was afraid to go far away. Pengze county was only a few hundred miles away from home, and the grain harvested by the field was enough to make wine, so he begged. A few days later, I missed the countryside and had the idea of returning to China. Why? My nature is frank and natural, and I can't change it by force; Hunger and freezing are painful, but going against my heart (or even more) makes me suffer double pain. I have done some things, but they are all driven by my appetite. So I am very distressed and very ashamed of my lifelong wish. But I still want to wait until after the autumn harvest, so I packed my bags and left overnight. Not long after, my sister who married the Cheng family died in Wuchang. I felt very sad and hoped to attend the funeral at once, so I abandoned my official position and left my job. From autumn to August to winter, I worked in the official position for more than 80 days. Through this incident to express my feelings, I wrote an article entitled "Looking Back". Second year 1 1 month.
