Practice your sword when the rooster crows—diligence and self-discipline
Zu Ti of the Jin Dynasty was a man with a broad mind and great ambitions. But he was a naughty boy when he was a child and didn't like reading. When he entered his youth, he realized his lack of knowledge and felt that he could not serve the country without studying, so he began to study hard. He was well-read and studied history seriously, so he began to study hard. I learned a wealth of knowledge and made great progress in my studies. He visited Luoyang, the capital, many times. People who came into contact with him said that Zu Ti was a talented person who could assist the emperor in governing the country. When Zu Ti was 24 years old, someone recommended him to become a lawyer, but he disagreed. He still studied tirelessly.
Later, Zu Ti and his childhood friend Liu Kun served as the chief registrar of Sizhou. He and Liu Kun have a deep relationship. Not only do they share the same bed, but they also share the same lofty ideals: to make contributions, revitalize the Jin State, and become the pillars of the country.
Once, in the middle of the night, Zu Ti heard the crow of a rooster in his sleep. After he woke up Liu Kun, he said to him: "Other people think it is unlucky to hear the rooster crow in the middle of the night. I don't think so. How about we get up and practice swordplay when we hear the rooster crow in the future?" Liu Kun readily agreed. So every day after the rooster crows, he gets up and practices his sword, with the light of the sword flying and the sound of the sword clanging. Spring passes and winter comes, cold passes and summer comes, never ending. All good things come soon. After long and arduous study and training, they finally became all-rounders who could write good articles and lead troops to win battles. Zu Ti was named General Zhenxi and realized his desire to serve the country. Liu Kun became the commander-in-chief in charge of the military affairs of Hebei and Youzhou, and also gave full play to his literary and military talents.

Hard work will pay off
"All good things take a long time" is a famous saying that tells people that as long as they work hard, nothing can be accomplished.
For example, Sun Jing of the Jin Dynasty tied a rope to his hair every night and tied the other end to the beam in order to prevent him from dozing off. Whenever his head drooped, the rope would wake him up and he would continue reading. In this way, he became a famous person who used a hanging beam to prevent himself from falling asleep. Su Qin, who is also a spy, has always been looked down upon by others because he could not get an official position in Qin. So he decided to argue. From then on, he studied hard and forgot to eat and sleep. Whenever it was late at night and everything was quiet, Su Qin would feel dizzy and always wanted to sleep. He immediately stabbed his thigh with an awl, and when he felt pain, he woke up. This is Su Qin, a celebrity who wakes himself up by pricking stocks.
Another example is Kuang Heng of the Western Han Dynasty. His family is very poor, but he likes reading very much. However, there was no oil to light the lamp in his house at night, and there was a lamp burning in the neighbor's room, so Kuang Heng dug a hole in the wall and read with the light coming from the hole. This is the story of "poaching and borrowing money".
There is also the modern Xu Beihong, whose paintings are famous at home and abroad. When he was young, he was motivated to learn painting and used his own efforts to bring glory to our country and prevent foreigners from looking down on us in China.

From these celebrity stories, everyone must have learned a truth: Only by persisting to the end and persevering can you make a difference.
Hard work will pay off
Someone once said: Hard work pays off. In fact, everyone in the world is equal, so why do some people succeed in life while others fail? Because successful people are willing to work hard and endure difficulties; those who fail are often discouraged by difficulties. "As long as you don't kneel down, no one will be higher than you.".
In February 1847, Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, USA. He believes that the commonly used lighting tools for people are kerosene lamps or gas lamps. Because this kind of lamp burns kerosene or gas, the black smoke is very thick and the smell is pungent. It is also inconvenient to refill the lamp cover frequently and it is inconvenient to clean the lampshade. Therefore, in order to develop electric lights, Edison often worked in the laboratory for more than ten hours a day, sometimes for several days in a row. After he invented carbon filament, he tried more than 6,000 plant fibers but never gave up. Finally, he chose bamboo filaments, burned them in a high-temperature sealed furnace and reprocessed them to obtain carbonized bamboo filaments, which he put into the light bulb to increase the vacuum level of the light bulb again. The light bulb could be continuously lit for 1,200 hours. "All good things come in hard times." Finally, the electric light was invented on June 1879+October 21.
This is not unusual. The famous German mathematician Gauss loved mathematics very much since he was a child. Once, the teacher asked a geometry question and said that so far, there is no correct answer in the world. Gauss was eager to try it, so he studied day and night. He went to the library every Sunday and chewed two loaves of bread when he was hungry. There is no one in the library who doesn't know him. In this way, Gauss consulted a lot of information, and the calculus draft paper alone took up most of the room. It only took him three years to finally solve this mathematical problem. Known as the "Prince of Mathematics".
Where there is a will, there is a way. Everyone who is successful has put in a lot of effort. "Hard work pays off", as long as you put in the effort, an iron pillar can be ground into a needle.
