Case 5 about failure as the mother of success

In the ancient Chinese myth "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the Sea", it is said that Kun stole the soil (soil that can grow) from the Emperor of Heaven to ward off the flood, but without success. The Emperor of Heaven ordered Zhu Rong to kill Kun, but he was still alive although he died. "Returning to Tibet: Enlightenment" cloud:

The three-year-old is not rotten, and it is cut with a Wu knife, which is to come out of Yu. These words are to say, "Yu was born from the belly of the cang." His father's body did not decompose for three years after his death, and he eventually gave birth to his son, Yu.

This shows that this failed hero's ambition has not been rewarded, and his spirit is immortal, and he has passed on his indomitable spirit of struggle to the next generation ——— Yu. On the basis of summing up the lessons of the previous generation, Yu used the method of diversion to subdue the flood and achieved success.

Kun failed, Kun gave birth to Yu, and Yu succeeded. Later generations created the idiom "failure is the mother of success" based on the myth of Kun Yu's water control.

The mathematically famous axiom of parallelism has been questioned since its inception. For thousands of years, countless mathematicians have tried to prove the axioms of parallelism, but they have failed. The mathematician Pourier spent his life on the proof of parallel axioms without success, and finally died in despair and agony.

Just as the problem was devouring people's wisdom like a bottomless pit without giving anything in return, Lobachevsky (who contrasted the facts of Porier and Lobachevsky to show that "failure is the mother of success" is to learn from failure and sum up experience) found out the cause of failure after seven years of verification without results. After repeated failures, Lobachevsky summed up and analyzed the causes and consequences of the failures, understood the problem in essence, and thus achieved success. (Excerpt from:.)

knows").

If you fail, it doesn't matter, start all over again, you will always succeed.

Stoop to conquer. In 496 B.C., King Wu sent troops to attack the Yue Kingdom, but was defeated by the Yue Kingdom, and He Lu was also seriously wounded and died. Two years later, Fu Cha, the son of Helu, led his troops to defeat the Yue Kingdom, and the Yue King Gou Jian was escorted to the Wu Kingdom as a slave, and Gou Jian endured humiliation and served the King of Wu for three years, and the Fu Cha discouraged him and sent him back to the Yue Kingdom.

In fact, Gou Jian did not give up his heart of revenge, he was obedient to King Wu on the surface, but secretly trained elite soldiers, strengthened the government and waited for the opportunity to counterattack Wu. Hardship can temper the will, but comfort will wear out the will. Gou Jian was afraid that he would covet the comfort in front of him and lose his will to take revenge, so he arranged a difficult living environment for himself.

He slept at night without a mattress, but laid out some firewood and grass (called wages in ancient times), and hung a bitter gall in the house, which he would taste from time to time, in order not to forget the shame of the past.

In order to encourage the people, Gou Jian and the queen participated in the labor with the people, and under the concerted efforts of the Yue people, he made the Yue Kingdom strong, and finally found the opportunity to destroy the Wu State.

Failure is the mother of success, such as Edison's never give up, Yue Wang Goujian's courage to lie on the salary, Colonel Sandoz's perseverance, and Lincoln's hard work, all of them have achieved success through their own efforts.

Edison's storyWhen Edison invented the battery, he failed 25,000 times, but the countless failures did not make him give up. During his lifetime, Edison obtained a total of 1,093 invention patents, and it is his inventions that make our lives more convenient.

The story of lying down and tasting gutsIn 496 B.C., King Lu of Wu failed to attack the Yue Kingdom and died of his wounds, and two years later his son Fucha attacked the Yue Kingdom and captured Gou Jian. After serving King Wu in Wu for three years, Gou Jian finally found an opportunity to return to Yue. After returning to Yue, he ostensibly obeyed Wu Wang Qingmeng, but in fact secretly trained elite soldiers.

In order to temper his will, he hung a bitter gall in his room, and tasted the bitter gall from time to time, so that he would not forget the shame of the past. In the end, the Yue Kingdom became stronger and stronger, found the opportunity, and finally eliminated the Wu State.
