Half of the ambition is patience

Half of the ambition is patience. After reading the history of the Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the history of the "three cuts" was carefully tasted and benefited a lot. "Three 藩" refers to the three Ming dynasty: Pingxi Wang Wu Sangui, Zhennan; Pingnan Wang Shangkexi, Zhendong; Jingnan Wang Yijimao, Zhen Fujian. Among them, Wu Sangui is the strongest. "Three 藩" occupied the main place, and the self-respect of the soldiers became a heart disease of the royal family in the early Qing Dynasty. The Emperor Kangxi, who had just been a pro-government, wanted to show his ambitions and decided to start with Wu Sangui, who was based in Yunnan. However, the steady Xiaozhuang Empress Dowager warned the young and vigorous Kangxi, the timing of the withdrawal was not mature, but also wait, the so-called "half of ambition is patience." Kangxi listened to the exhortation of the Empress Dowager Emperor Xiaozhuang. With firm determination and tenacity, he chose a good time to start. After eight years of rebellion, he won the victory of “three cuts”.
There is such a slogan in "Book of Changes": "Do not use Qianlong." The meaning of its extension is that when you are in a weak hour, you must keep your front and guard, and you must wait for it. In fact, whether you are doing big or small things, you must have long-term patience. Once in an impatient mood, it often falls into the abyss of failure. Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, used Yu Wei, who had defeated Chu Bawang Xiang Yu, to attack the Xiongnu. He believed that this would solve the problem once and for all. Unexpectedly, at this time, because of his own strength is not strong enough, he has to challenge the strong enemy, so that he is deeply immersed in the "white boarding", and finally become a prisoner. For the first time, the heroic astronaut Qi Zhigang, who left the Chinese footprint in the space, had lost the manned launches of "God Five" and "Shenzhou VI", and lost the dream of flying. However, he was not discouraged, but took more hard training and patiently waited for the opportunity to arrive. He finally flew to the sky at the age of 42 and became the "highest flying and fastest going" in China.
Being patient is not an easy task. For example, some young cadres who have just joined the work, although they have the impulse of “the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger”, do not lack the ambition of “the sea is wide and the fish is flying, the sky is high and the bird is flying”, but when encountering difficulties and setbacks, it will often Lose patience and become not calm. If you are not calm, you will be impulsive. After the impulse, you will inevitably make mistakes and make the road to ambition difficult. For another example, some "new officials" took up their duties at the beginning, and they wanted to kick their heads and burn three fires. Unexpectedly, the situation is unclear, and the rushed shots will be full of loopholes, which will cause passive work in the future. All of the above, there should be a saying: "I can't eat hot tofu." How can I be patient with the accident? I think that a calm mindset and a firm belief are crucial. Calmness allows you to have the most rational understanding of things. It can help you make the right decisions at the right time: weak hours, telling you to keep a low profile; when you are strong, encourage you to chase after victory. A firm belief can concentrate all your power in one direction and not be distracted by all sorts of disturbances and temptations around you. But this process takes time, needs to be invested, and you still need to grit your teeth and stand on the heel without seeing the ending. In the end, you will never give up. Just like the protagonist Xu Sanduo in "Soldier Assault", even if the natural conditions are not superior, even a bit clumsy, but with the perseverance and perseverance of the unyielding, under the support of "do not abandon, do not give up", silently Work, tough and persistent, and finally reach the other side of success.
Patience is a kind of tenacity, a kind of accumulation, and it is a kind of confidence and courage. As long as we can be passionate about our work, be patient with the difficulties and obstacles encountered in our work, and be down-to-earth, step by step, we can build a bridge to success and realize our ambitions.
