Inspirational article: How long does it take to succeed?

Two young people love to paint. A talent for painting, a qualification is significantly worse. At the age of 20, the talented young man began to indulge in the feast of wine, and the whole day was fascinating and lost his own brush.

The young man with poor qualifications did not lose the brush. Although he is extremely poor in life, he needs to work in firewood and work in the fields every day, but he has never lost his favorite brush. Every day he came back late and tired again, he had to light up the oil lamp and lie on the broken table to concentrate on painting for an hour. Even when he walked through the village to build tables and chairs for others, his toolbox was always filled with ink and paper, and during the short break of the break, he sat on the side of the road while he was laying, and he would lay a blank sheet of paper. Even with a straw stick, write a pass on the mud.

After 40 years, he succeeded. A carpenter from a little-known town in Xiangtan, Hunan Province, became a master of the world of paintings. This person is Qi Baishi.

After Qi Baishi’s success, the young man who had loved painting with him came to Beijing to visit him. At this time, this person, like Qi Baishi, who has claimed to be "the old man of Baishi", is already an old man who is over 60 years old. The two men talked to each other, and Qi Baishi listened to him sighing the hardships and difficulties of art creation. He listened to his deep regrets about his own paintings. Qi Baishi heard a smile and said: "In fact, success is not as hard and far-reaching as you think. From wood craftsmen to masters of painting, it only takes more than four years."

“It only takes more than 4 years?” The man stunned as soon as he heard it.

Qi Baishi took a pen and a piece of paper and fell on the table to calculate for him: I really practice painting from the age of 20, before the age of 35, I can only have one hour of painting time, 365 days a year, only 365 hours. . 365 hours divided by 24, the annual painting time is 15 days. It is 15 years from 20 to 35 years old. The total time for painting in these 15 years is 225 days; from 35 to 55 years old. I practice painting every day for 2 hours, 20 years total is 620 days; from 55 to 60 years old, I spend 10 hours a day painting and 760 days in 5 years. Between the ages of 20 and 60, my paintings share 1605 days, which is equivalent to 4 years and 4 months.

4 years and 4 months, this is the success time of Qi Baishi from a village ignorant youth to a generation of painting masters. It is amazed that many people have only used four years and four months of success in aligning with Baishi, but why bother to be surprised? In fact, success is not far from each of us. As long as you persist, as long as you are diligent, the successful sunshine will shine on your busy body.

Don't be afraid that success will be in the foreseeable future. Success doesn't take too long. It takes enough time to spend your time in a daze or coffee.
