"Endless obstacles" comes from the Book of Songs, which means that the road ahead is full of obstacles, long and long.
Excerpt from the original text: White dew is frost. The so-called Iraqis are on the water side. Tracing back and forth, the road is blocked and long. Swim back from it, in the middle of the water
Large areas of reeds are green, and the dew in the morning turns into frost. I miss my sweetheart. Standing on the other side of the river Go against the current to pursue her (him), and the road to follow her (him) is dangerous and long. Looking downstream, she (he) seems to be in the middle of the river.
"Soon" comes from Xunzi's self-cultivation, which means that as long as you keep going, you will definitely reach your destination.

Self-cultivation means self-cultivation and striving to improve one's ideological and moral cultivation. Taoism, Confucianism and Mohism all emphasize self-cultivation, but their contents are different. Since Confucius, Confucianism has attached great importance to self-cultivation and regarded it as one of the eight purposes of education.
The Confucian standard of "self-cultivation" is mainly the principle of loyalty and forgiveness and the three cardinal principles and five permanents, which is essentially an idealistic method of self-cultivation divorced from social practice. They believe that the process of self-cultivation is: respecting things, knowing and doing, being sincere and being upright. Self-cultivation is the foundation, and family, country and the world are the goals. Therefore, through the method of "introspection", individual behavior is consistent with feudal morality, and talents are cultivated for the consolidation of feudal rule and political power.
