1. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba in 1999, never gave up on his dreams. He once wanted to get into a key elementary school, but failed; he also failed in a key middle school; it took him three years to get into college; he wanted to get into Harvard University, but he didn't succeed either.
But he has the spirit of perseverance and courage. As the saying goes: "The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." Through his own efforts, he finally succeeded. He said: Dreams must be down-to-earth and are closely related to tears.
2. Once in class, Socrates assigned an assignment, asking his disciples to do one thing and shake their hands a hundred times a day. After a week, he asked how many people were doing it now Ninety percent of the people who still insist on doing it insist on doing it. A month later he asked again and now only half the people were there. A year later, he asked again, and now only one person persisted, and that person was Plato.

4. Van Gogh’s persistent painting dream. Although it was a pity that his works were not appreciated by others during his lifetime, he still persisted in the environment of indifference and poverty.

5. Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, did not like reading when he was a child. One day, while the teacher was not at home, he quietly slipped 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 very puzzled and asked: "Old woman, what are you doing grinding the iron pestle?" The old woman said, "I am grinding a needle." Li Bai asked in surprise: "Oh! How can the iron pestle be ground into a needle when it is so thick?"
The old woman said with a smile: "As long as you grind it every day, the iron pestle can be ground finer and finer. Are you afraid that it will not grind into a needle?" After hearing this, Li Bai thought of himself, felt ashamed, turned around and ran back to the study room. . From then on, he kept in mind the principle that "as long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle", studied hard, and finally became a great poet and was called the "Immortal of Poetry".
