Whenever I hear some students worry about writing essays, I think of the aphorism

Whenever I want to give up, I think of a sentence: as long as there is perseverance, the iron pillar is sharpened into a needle. There's another story to this story.

The protagonist of the story is the greatest poet in my country, the famous poet of the Tang Dynasty who is called "poet immortal" by later generations - Li Bai; Because he has always adhered to this belief, he finally became a poet who has been passed down from family to family.

Li Bai was very smart when he was a child, but he was also very playful, and he was not attentive when he was studying, and he was afraid of difficulties. One day, when he was reading Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs" aloud, he saw a beautiful bird flying freely in the sky, and finally stopped on the windowsill, so he closed the book and went to admire the bird. After the birds flew away, he went to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery in the wild.

Li Bai suddenly saw a person in the distance, and when he looked closer, it turned out to be a gray-haired old woman grinding an iron rod on a big stone. Li Bai walked over and asked curiously, "Old woman, what are you grinding such a thick iron rod for?"

The old woman said, "Make a needle." Li Bai was puzzled, so he asked:

How can such a thick iron rod be sharpened into a needle? The old woman said unhurriedly: "I grind a little every day, a little every day, and sooner or later I will be able to grind into a needle."

The smart Li Bai listened to the old woman's words, and immediately understood: as long as there is perseverance, the iron pillar is sharpened into a needle, and since then he has been studying unremittingly, not giving up when encountering difficulties, and learning different knowledge in his spare time. After years of hard work, he finally became a great poet full of knowledge.

Whenever I want to give up, I will think of this adage, think of this story, it makes me understand that no matter what I do, I must do it seriously, when I encounter difficulties, not only can I not give up, but also challenge difficulties, be diligent and studious, and pursue knowledge, in order to pick sweet fruits on the fruit tree of knowledge, in order to achieve success and become a pillar of talent. This is the inspiration given to me by the adage "As long as there is perseverance, the iron pillar is sharpened into a needle".

If you stumble, you can immediately resume standing; You may never be able to recover your trust. This is one of my favorite aphorisms, which means: If you fall, you can get up immediately, but if you break your word, it will be difficult for others to believe in you again.

I love it because it taught me the value of integrity.

On Friday night, my good friend Xiao Liu and I made an appointment to go to the library at 8 a.m. on Saturday to read books. But on Saturday morning, I was suddenly awakened from my dream by the deafening thunder, and I got up dimly to look, and ah! It was raining heavily outside, and suddenly, I remembered the agreement with Xiao Liu, I looked at the alarm clock and thought:

It's only half past seven, so let's see if the rain abates in a moment. But after a while, the rain did not abate, and I thought to myself: should I go now, go, and I will be drenched in soup.

If I don't go, people won't trust me anymore. I don't know what to do, I'm as anxious as an ant on a hot pan - round and round. At this time, she was seen by her mother, who had just woken up, and she asked with concern

What happened to you? "I told all the hesitations. Mom listened and said:

If you stumble, you can immediately resume standing; You may never be able to recover your trust. You have to be a trustworthy child, or others will find it hard to believe you. "Yes.

I want to be a trustworthy child. With that, I grabbed my umbrella and rushed to the bookstore, and soon disappeared into the rain. When I came to the bookstore, Xiao Liu had already arrived and was waving to me, I laughed.

If you stumble, you can immediately resume standing; You may never be able to recover your trust. "That's the motto that has always been with me growing up.
