As soon as the car stopped and there was no other work, he would sit in the cab and read. He wrote this passage in his diary: "Some people say You are busy with work and have no time to study. I think the problem is not that you are busy with work, but whether you are willing to study and whether you can squeeze in time. There is time to study, but the question is whether we are good at squeezing and whether we are willing to squeeze in. Together There is not a single hole in a good wooden board, but why can nails be driven in? This is because they are squeezed in by pressure. From this point of view, nails have two advantages: one is the squeeze force, and the other is the drilling force. We We should also promote this "nail" spirit in study and be good at squeezing and drilling
