Persistence is the state before success

Some students asked the philosopher Socrates how to learn his profound and profound knowledge. Socrates did not answer directly, but said: "Today we only learn one of the simplest and easiest things. Everyone tries to push their arms forward and then try to squat back." Socrates demonstrated Once again, "From today, do 300 times a day, can everyone do it?" The students laughed. What can't this simple thing do? After a month, Socrates asked the students: "Which Has the person persisted?" 90% of the students raised their hands proudly. A year later, Socrates asked everyone again: "Please tell me who is the simplest hand-cranking action?" At this time, only one person raised his hand. He was Plato, another great philosopher of ancient Greece!
Yes, even the simplest thing can you keep doing it? Think about yourself. Every time we have a year, we always like to make plans. At that time, we are full of ambitions and have many beautiful ideas. Every year at the end of the year, we will sum up our own achievements. Time is often more regret and remorse.

Some people say that success and failure ultimately depend on the contest of will. Psychological research also shows that those who have amazing achievements, the qualities of their will manifested are mainly self-consciousness, decisiveness, persistence, and self-control. Since it takes a long time to complete the goal, the most important thing for us is persistence.

The goal is sometimes far away, and there is always no way to see it. You may be struggling in the midst of hardships, but if you give up at this time, the previous efforts will be in vain, and the effort will be in vain; and if you insist on it for a while, and then add a little effort, there may be a hole in the eyes. Cheerful. When you open the fog and see the sun, you will feel that it is worthwhile to be tired and tired. Persistence is not patience, it is not in place, it is moving forward in the countercurrent, it is pressing upwards, it is actively fighting, not waiting helplessly... You may be groping in the dark night, but then come Isn't it a bright morning?

There is a writer in the United Kingdom called John Krissey who worked diligently when he was young, but he was hit hard by a series of refusals. He received a total of 743 rejection letters. He said: "Yes, I am under the test of a lot of failures that people can't believe. If I stop, all the rejection letters will become meaningless. But once I succeed, every rejection letter The value will be recalculated." By the time of his death, John Krissey had published a total of 564 books, and countless setbacks have turned into amazing successes because of his persistence.

Achievements are of course inseparable from persistence, and small things need to be adhered to. Long-distance running, practicing calligraphy, cleaning the room, and getting up early in English seem to be a trivial matter. If you try to urge yourself to do it every day, you may get a healthy body. Beautiful handwriting, neat environment, authentic spoken English. Keep a little bit every day, and the harvest will make you happy. Persistence is a state before success.

Martin Luther King said: "You can accept limited disappointment, but you must not give up unlimited hope." In order to turn hope into reality, friends, have you persisted?
