Two stories in the category of life philosophy

When the most difficult time, is not far from success

Everyone may have encountered such a time, you often think, "Why is this thing I do so difficult, through a lot of hard work but still difficult. So you say to yourself, I really have no confidence, or I really can't hold on, or only give up if you go on like this, but have you ever thought about not in your experience of all the failure and torment of the process, failure and success is like two boxers, success is just more than failure to stand up once, only the number of times you have been knocked down by failure to accumulate may achieve you than failure Only the accumulation of the number of times you have been knocked down by failure can make you more than failure, that is success.

The following two short stories are shared.

The lotus pond on the 29th day

There is a mathematical reasoning problem of "Lotus Pond Puzzle": If there is a lotus flower in a pond, and the area expands twice every day, it will fill up the whole pond after 30 days, then how many lotus flowers will there be in the pond in 29 days? Those who know a little bit about reasoning will soon figure out that it takes one day to expand from one-half of the area to the whole area, i.e. 29 days, and there will be one-half of the lotus flowers in the pond.

The question is simple, but the reason behind it is not. For each lotus flower, they change at the same rate, and before 30 days come, they have only accomplished one-half of their goal even though they have tried their best. If we compare time to life, then more than nine-tenths of their lives have passed. Looking at the share of the brilliant results, compared to the whole life, it is like a flash in the pan. It is not difficult to imagine that without hard work, perseverance and perseverance, it is impossible to embrace the splendor of the lotus pond.

The 5th Steamed Bun　

The story is about a man who ate six steamed buns and felt nothing for the first five, but felt full when he ate the sixth one. So he said, "If I had known that I could be full with this steamed bun, why would I have eaten the first five?"

The "6th bun" in this case is the same as the "last day of the lotus pond". During the struggle from the first day to the 29th day, from the first bun to the 5th bun, the difficulties also increase day by day with the numbers. This kind of difficulty, both the influence of the environment, the desire for speed, and the lure of fame and fortune; and the line of a hundred miles half ninety miles, whether it is work or life, in the long distance to the ideal, we must face the efforts we have been making, and this effort also makes us progress every day in the difficulties. Very often, just the desire for a perfect process makes us blind to our own progress; and the expectations that are raised too early and too high make our hearts unable to withstand tossing and turning and disappointment.

Napoleon has a famous saying: "When the most difficult is when it is not far from success." When you are at a loss, think about the "29th day of the lotus pond" and "the 5th bun", although the distance from the dream still seems far away, but it should be clear that their own accumulated experience, the wind and rain of confidence and the handwriting of the chest is not The same as in the past. With confidence and perseverance to the end, who said we will not succeed
