Rivers, without the vastness of the ocean, strive relentlessly
to keep flowing. Stars, without the brightness of the moon, twinkle across the
sky, giving their all. Grass, without the abundance of large trees, possess a
tenacious vitality. Instead of grieving over what we lack, we should strive for
what we don't have.
Compared to those born with inherent advantages, what we lack are favorable
family conditions and personal superiority. Some people are born into wealthy
families, living a worry-free life with abundant food and clothing. As children
growing up in impoverished households, all we have is our industrious qualities.
How can we also live a life free from worries?
Diligence. Faced with our own shortcomings and those of others, we should make
efforts to compensate for these deficiencies. There are no true geniuses; talent
is simply the result of hard work and sweat. If our starting line is not the
same as others, we should strive to run harder and make up for the distance
we've fallen behind.
This world is not inherently fair. Instead of worrying about what fate has taken
away from us, we should think about what we possess and what we can gain through
hard work. A philosopher once consoled himself by saying, "When God closes a
door, He opens a window." This is not self-deception but a reminder to ourselves
that we should strive and be diligent. Diligence is the wealth of a lifetime.
Only through diligence can we attain what we desire and compensate for what we
lack. However, the journey of entrepreneurship is not smooth sailing; it is
filled with numerous setbacks and difficulties. "When the mountain seems
impassable and the road is obscured, the willow may hide, but the flowers will
bloom again in another spring." Only by traversing paths laden with thorns can
we achieve great brightness.
While embracing diligence, we should not overlook the importance of
perseverance. It tests one's determination. Perseverance is a form of faith, as
they say, "Mastery comes from diligence, while mediocrity stems from
indulgence." When we embark on a task, we should commit ourselves wholeheartedly
and persist without wavering.
If you lack external advantages, then create your own internal advantages!
Children without umbrellas should run, for it is through effort that true
rewards are obtained. By persisting, a brighter future and a better tomorrow
await! |
