Night Reading | Only by putting in "hard work" can one get closer to success.
一点点向前,一点点收获,就是最好。书中说:“骐骥一跃,不能十步;驽马十驾,功在不舍。” 决定一个人最终走多远的,往往是时间和坚持不懈的努力。
The book states: "The shortest shortcut is to take the long way around." Those who diligently put in hard work, though their progress may be slower, will ultimately achieve tangible results. For example, a towering building that rises from flat ground needs to be constructed piece by piece. The foundation must be built solidly to ensure there is no risk of collapse in the future.
Those who seek shortcuts will find themselves gradually with no way out. Meanwhile, those who put in hard work will find their path getting wider. The ancients once said, "When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it must first frustrate their spirit and will, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their body, and deprive them of what they desire." Every journey in life faces a variety of challenges. Each person who dares to confront difficulties will eventually reap rewards and achieve a shining self.
To achieve genuine growth, one must experience and grow through practical efforts. The more diligent you are, the richer your rewards will be. Life may seem ordinary, but every accomplishment requires the sedimentation of time. Success in any endeavor often demands ten thousand trials and errors before the ten-thousand-and-first attempt feels effortless.
As the saying goes, "Great skill appears clumsy." True masters often seek quality over quantity. The principles, though simple and plain, are often the most difficult. Those who overcome inner laziness and impatience, endure solitude, and do not strive for immediate gains, but steadily move forward, will walk calmly and securely.
Stay calm to exert strength. Endure the loneliness to see the bright future and wait for the blooming flowers of tomorrow. I fully agree with the saying, "The ultimate simplicity can surpass the ultimate cleverness in the world." In this world, there are no successes that come easily, nor achievements that are enjoyed without effort. Behind every shining achievement lies a person's solid and diligent effort. Only by putting in diligent effort can one get closer to success.
Step by step on your life's journey, making progress and reaping rewards, that is the best state of life.
