【親子教養篇】天才出於勤奮

This society is a stage and we are all audience waiting for the stage. Sometimes, one or two of us are successful, and we are honored to be on that stage. Under the spotlight, we marveled at his accomplishments, and someone in the audience shouted, "Look! Another genius has been born!"

We all want to know the secret of his success, we all want to be the next genius to be praised by everyone, but how many of us know how many years of hard work, how many years of training are hidden behind the success? "The crown of success is made of thorns." If a genius lacks diligence, he will not have a bright and shining day.

"Success is one part genius and ninety-nine parts hard work." It was in this spirit that Thomas Edison, the great inventor, broke through the bottlenecks in his research. He didn't give up when he failed for the 2,000th time to find the material to make a filament, and he didn't lose heart when his experiments went up in flames. So it was his diligence that made him successful, and it was his diligence that created the key that opened the door to success.

There is a passage in the Old Testament that says, "O lazy man, observe the ants and you will find wisdom! Observe the ants, and thou shalt find wisdom." If we just think about success without putting in the effort, success will always be a dream. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union successfully launched the world's first artificial satellite. When you look up at the starry sky at night, you can see its beautiful arc in the sky, and such a scene touched the dream of a young man, Hou Mak. He learned math, built his own rockets, and figured out how to do it all by himself in a small mining town where resources were scarce. Because of his hard work and diligence, Hou Mak not only won the first prize at the National Science Fair, but also entered NASA.

When we applaud the so-called geniuses on stage, shouldn't we also think about the struggles they went through before they succeeded? Genius is not the monopoly of a few, but the number of people who can persevere to the end with the spirit of hard work is very small. Therefore, we have to remember: success is based on the result rather than the process, no matter how many setbacks you have experienced and how far you have detoured, the one who can persevere to the end is the winner, and since ancient times geniuses have been mostly due to hard work.
