An example where hard work pays off.

Lincoln, the first 16 president of the United States, was a world-famous great orator. His success lies in that he has been practicing his eloquence since his youth, watching and listening more. When he was young, he worked as a farmer, lumberjack, shop assistant, postman, land surveyor and so on. In order to become a lawyer, he often walks 30 miles to a court to listen to lawyers' arguments and see how they argue and gesture. He imitated politicians and speakers while listening to their impassioned speeches. He listened to the evangelists who traveled everywhere, waved their arms and shook their voices in the sky. When he came back, he followed their example and practiced his speech repeatedly in the Woods and cornfields. The success of the speech made Lincoln finally become an eloquent lawyer and finally entered politics. Churchill, the British Prime Minister during World War II, was an outstanding speaker and was listed as one of the world's 10 famous speakers. However, when Churchill made a speech in Parliament for the first time, he made a big fall-halfway through, he suddenly forgot the following words, and he couldn't remember them clearly. He blushed and had to interrupt his speech and return to his seat awkwardly. However, he was not discouraged. He devoted himself to the study of speech skills and often exercised his oral expression ability. Churchill finally became a famous speaker in the 20th century.

Everyone is eager to succeed, but only a few people succeed. Why? Not everyone lacks a goal, but is unwilling to work hard for it. As long as you choose the right direction and make unremitting efforts towards the goal, your efforts will be rewarded and success will naturally bloom in front of you.

Many things in ancient times have confirmed the famous saying "many things grind". "Where there is a will, there is a way, cross the rubicon. 120 Qin Guan will eventually be Chu. Hard-working people, the sky pays off, go forward bravely, and 3,000 Yue families can swallow Wu. " This is a couplet of Pu Songling's self-encouragement and inspiration in Qing Dynasty. Xiang Yu, who fought in the south and fought in the north, paid the price of cross the rubicon and finally let Qin Cheng return to the Chu family. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, made a living by this, accumulated a lot of money, and finally defeated Wu, making a fool of himself. The road to success is bumpy, and only those who are determined and not afraid of hardship can reach the peak of success.

Speaking of successful examples, I think of the famous director Zhang Yimou. Perhaps, what everyone saw was the glory of him standing on the podium with a trophy in his hand, and what he heard was the applause surrounded by flowers, but as Bing Xin said, people only saw the beauty when the flower of success bloomed, and who knows the wind and rain she experienced behind. Zhang Yimou used to be a worker in a cotton textile factory, carrying raw materials bag by bag into the workshop every day, but he was unwilling to live like this. After work, Zhang Yimou contributed to the wall newspaper of the factory. Finally, one day the leader discovered his artistic talent and transferred him to the art department. Here, Zhang Yimou became interested in photography. In order to buy a camera, he chewed pickles steamed bread and saved money, and finally bought a camera. Zhang Yimou took a camera, waded through mountains and rivers, photographed landscapes and people, and his works finally knocked on the door of the first prize in the photo contest. In the movie "Old Well", in order to achieve a realistic effect, he really jumped all over in the scene of "giving his life to protect the well". When filming "Village Head", he really did it, and he was black and blue. In order to shoot underground scenes and find the feeling of dying, he didn't touch a drop of water for several days, and even rolled and crawled to shoot all the shots. With hard work, he succeeded and became famous. He led and planned the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, which made him famous all over the world.

How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? No one can succeed casually. A lyric sings the true meaning of success. Let's remember the old saying that "many things grind" and water the flowers of victory with our own efforts and sweat. Let this famous saying hang the sail of sailing for us, break the waves and sail to the other side of success.

5. Sun Jing is from the Western Han Dynasty. Every night when he studies, he ties a rope to his hair and the other end to the beam. Every time his head droops, the rope will wake him up and continue reading after waking up. In this way, he became a celebrity who used a hanging beam to prevent himself from falling asleep. Su Qin, who is also a spy, has been looked down upon by others because he can't be an official in Qin. So he decided to fight for breath. From then on, he studied hard and forgot to eat and sleep.

6. It is said that an old man in his nineties lived in Beishan, whose name was Gong Yu. There are two mountains in front of his house, Taihang Mountain and Wuwang Mountain, which are inconvenient to get in and out. Yugong discussed with his family and wanted to dig up these two mountains. Gong Yu's wife wants to know: Where should the stones and dirt on the mountain be put? Regardless of this, Gong Yu and his sons began to transport the excavated soil and stones to the Bohai Sea far away, only once a year. An old man named Zhisou in Hequ advised Gong Yu not to be stupid. How can he dig Hirayama at his age? Yu Gong said, "When I die, I have a son. When my son dies, I have a grandson, and the grandson has a son. How can we dig uneven mountains if we continue to work for generations? " The Emperor of Heaven was moved by the spirit of Yu Gong. He sent two gods and took away two mountains. Gong Yu mobilized the whole family to conquer the tall and big mountains; Old and weak; Few people; On the surface, great difficulties like simple tools and long-distance transportation seem "stupid". However, Yu Gong was not intimidated by the immediate difficulties because he had great ambitions. It can be seen from "referring to the south of Henan and reaching Hanyin" that he moved mountains to benefit thousands of people and future generations in Qian Qian, Qian Qian. In addition, his confidence in moving mountains comes from his correct understanding of the relationship between man and nature. He understands that human strength is "infinite" and "the mountains do not increase". His knowledge is far higher than the average person, and he is really "still smarter than a fool". Wan Zhi, on the other hand, only looks at the problem from a static perspective, thinks that natural conditions cannot be changed, and only sees the strength of a generation, thus drawing the conclusion that people are powerless in the face of nature, which is really "short-sighted". The above analysis shows that fools are not stupid and wise men are not wise. This inversion not only intensifies the contrast tone, but also has an ironic effect. Sun Jing of A Jin Dynasty tied a rope to her hair every night, and tied the other end to the beam to avoid falling asleep during study. Every time his head droops, the rope will wake him up and continue reading after waking up. In this way, he became a celebrity who used a hanging beam to prevent himself from falling asleep. Su Qin, who is also a spy, has been looked down upon by others because he can't be an official in Qin. So he decided to fight for breath. From then on, he studied hard and forgot to eat and sleep.

Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, didn't like reading when he was a child. One day, while the teacher was not at home, he sneaked out to play.

He came to the river at the foot of the mountain and saw an old woman grinding an iron pestle on a stone. Li Bai was puzzled and asked, "Old woman, what are you doing grinding the iron pestle?"

The old woman said, "I am grinding the needle." Li Bai was surprised and asked, "Oh dear! As thick as a pestle, how can it be ground into a needle? " The old woman walked over and said, "As long as the pestle is always ground more and more finely every day, are you still afraid that it is not a needle?"

Jian Zhen China Eastern Airlines failed three times and the ship drifted to Hainan Island. In 753, the Japanese sent envoys to China for the tenth time. Many things happen. Jian Zhen finally went eastward with the Japanese mission to Milan, where Edison was born in Kyushu, Japan. He believes that the common lighting tools are kerosene lamps or gas lamps. Because this kind of lamp burns kerosene or gas, the black smoke is very thick, the smell is pungent, and it is inconvenient to scrub the lampshade because it is often fueled. Therefore, in order to develop electric lights, Edison often worked in the laboratory for more than ten hours a day, sometimes for several days. After he invented carbon fiber, he experimented with more than 6,000 kinds of plant fibers, but he never gave up. Finally, he chose bamboo filaments, burned them in a high-temperature closed furnace and reprocessed them to obtain carbonized bamboo filaments, and put them into a light bulb to improve the vacuum degree of the light bulb again, so that the light bulb can be continuously lit for 1200 hours. "Many things happen", and finally the electric light was invented in June1879+1October 2 1. This is not uncommon.

The lotus flowers painted by Huang Yongyu, a famous modern painter, are highly praised. But who knows how many lotus sketches he has drawn? Even Huang Yongyu himself can't count. Once, he asked his son to count how many sketches he had drawn. My son came in bundles, each bundle 100, a total of more than 80 bundles.
