The legendary woman who was reborn from the ashes

It took the bamboo four years to grow only 4cm. From the fifth year on, it grew wildly at a rate of 3cm per day, and in just six weeks, it grew to 30 meters.

In fact, in the previous four years, the bamboo extended its roots into the soil for hundreds of square meters.

The same is true for life and work. Don't worry that your efforts at this moment will not be rewarded, because these efforts are all for taking root.

Life requires reserves. How many people cannot survive those three centimeters?

In the south of China, there is a vast bamboo forest, in which lies a little-known story. The people here have lived on bamboo for generations, and bamboo is not only a tool for their lives, but also a belief in their lives.

The protagonist of this story is called Li Ming, he is an ordinary bamboo craftsman in this bamboo forest. His father is a bamboo craftsman, his grandfather is also a bamboo craftsman, and his life seems destined to be spent in this bamboo forest. However, Li Ming is not satisfied with such a life, he longs to go out of the bamboo forest and see the outside world.

One day, Li Ming met a painter from the north, who told him that the growth of bamboo does not happen all at once. The first four years of obscurity are to accumulate strength in the fifth year to explode all at once.

Li Ming was deeply inspired and began to reflect on his own life. Should he also be like bamboo, quietly accumulating strength and waiting for the moment to explode?

Li Ming decided to stay and continue to live in the bamboo forest, but he was no longer just a bamboo craftsman. He began to learn painting and used his brush to record the beauty of the bamboo forest. His paintings attracted more and more people to come and see, and the bamboo forest became more and more well-known.

Many years later, Li Ming became a famous painter, and his works were praised as "the representative of the Bamboo Forest School". And he has been practicing the law of bamboo, quietly accumulating strength and waiting for the moment of explosion.

A dialogue between two bamboo poles:

Two pieces of bamboo can be made into a flute and the other into a clothesline.

The clothes hanger asked Dizi unconvincedly: We are both bamboos from the same mountain, why am I worthless despite being exposed to the sun and rain every day, while you are worth a fortune?

The flute replied: Because you only took one cut, but I went through thousands of cuts and was carefully carved. The clothesline was silent at this time.

The same is true of life. Life will be valuable only if it can withstand polishing, endure loneliness, shoulder responsibilities, and shoulder missions.

When you see others succeed, don’t be jealous, because they have paid more than you.

Qian Mu, a master of Chinese studies, said: "Throughout the ages, those who have achieved great success have no other secret than being able to work hard."

Hu Shi also said: "There are too many smart people in this world, but too few people are willing to work hard, so only a few people succeed."

When talking about Qian Zhongshu's vast knowledge, people often attribute it to his high talent and strong memory. In fact, Qian Zhongshu's profound knowledge is more due to his hard work of reading books.

Qian Zhongshu's college classmate Xu Zhende described it this way:

When I was in school, I read Chinese classics one week and European and American masterpieces the next week, alternating between the two for four years. Whenever I went to the library to borrow or return books, I would carry five or six large volumes in my arms, running and jogging. After I finished reading a book, I would make notes...

Guanzibian, which represents his academic achievements, quotes tens of thousands of documentary evidence from tens of thousands of works by more than 4000 famous writers. It is vast, unrestrained, profound and extensive.

Some people may not know that after he entered Tsinghua University, his goal was to "sweep the Tsinghua Library."

His experience in studying is: "The smarter you are, the more you need to work hard."

"If you focus on a skill, you will be good at it; if you focus on a job, you will be successful in that job."

Growth doesn't happen overnight. There is no such thing as a life cheat. It's just the result of long-term accumulation.

This is the bamboo law!

Ouyang Xiu once said: "The color of bamboo represents the virtue of a gentleman, and it becomes even greener in the cold." The ancients saw bamboo as if they saw a gentleman, and believed that bamboo had the demeanor of a gentleman.

In our long journey of life, we will encounter many things, setbacks and difficulties; however, no matter what we encounter, we must not give up. As long as we don’t give up in this second, there will be hope in the next second.

There is such a saying, it is your persistence that will eventually bring you good results;

Jiang Juan also has deep feelings about this. Her own learning journey since entering the stock market has been: persistence + hard work, interest + understanding. These eight words have accompanied Jiang Juan step by step.

When Jiang Juan encountered difficulties in the transaction, she did not give up, but solved the difficulties. When Jiang Juan stepped on the difficulties one after another, she was getting closer to success step by step.

During this period, Jiang Juan wanted to give up countless times because she saw no hope. Sometimes she broke down and cried silently alone. However, the voice in her heart told her not to give up, and she persisted until now.

Along the way, I have been unable to do without the help of many friends; I also want to thank myself for never giving up no matter what I do, because only with hard work can there be a better tomorrow.

We should also thank the Bamboo Law, which teaches us that a person must first take root and accumulate before he can grow upward. Just like King Zhuang of Chu, "If you don't make a sound, you will be amazing when you do." Only by cultivating yourself deeply can you make great achievements.

Success is never achieved overnight, nor is there any way to get there. If you can endure loneliness, stand the test, and endure the hardships, you will reach the pinnacle of life one day.

Success is never achieved overnight. It requires doing every little thing in daily life well. No matter what you do, don't be impatient for success. You should do the basic skills well and lay a solid foundation, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.

If you want to be rewarded, you must first pay. I have thought about how many people were left behind at this stage because they gave up before seeing the results of their work. Little did they know that if they persisted a little longer, they would succeed.

Success in life requires the accumulation of time, just like a tree. It takes a long time to grow from a sapling into a towering tree. It needs to go through long periods of sun, rain, wind and rain. This is a long process.

When you have decided on something or a direction, you must keep going and persist; the process of persistence is also a process of accumulation, and one day it will explode. You need to give success some time, just like bamboo, waiting to break through the ground;

The simple bamboo law contains a profound life lesson: persistence is victory. All your efforts and hard work will be returned to you double in the future.

What we need to do now is to accumulate and settle. As long as we persist in the right things and do not give up, we will usher in the dawn and see hope and beauty.

After reading the Bamboo Law, most people are amazed that "bamboo is not easy". It takes bamboo four years to take root. No one sees it, and no one knows it. But it works hard day after day in the soil that never sees the sun, accumulating energy for its emergence.

The same is true when dealing with people and doing things. Maybe your efforts now do not get immediate rewards, but don’t give up or be anxious, because these efforts are taking root and settling.

Growth does not happen overnight. If you keep your feet on the ground, persevere, and take root downwards, you will inevitably usher in a time of upward growth.

Before you take root, you need to find a direction that suits you. A person without a goal is like a ship drifting aimlessly on the sea, which greatly reduces the effort.

"Take advantage of the good times now, be brave to try, and make mistakes boldly", bravely show a new attitude towards life. But before reaching the light, you must first go through the dark period of taking root, and persevere through the thorns and overcome fatigue.

You envy others' success and achievements, but you are unwilling to work hard. You only complain about the environment and do not reflect on yourself. In the end, you will be abandoned by life.

On the contrary, don’t compare yourself with others, don’t envy their achievements, just do your best and focus on your own growth, and you will surely see your day of growth.

Believe that your daily accumulation, improvement and persistence are all processes of accumulating luck and confidence for your future self. Learn to be like bamboo, settle down more, take deep roots, be tenacious, and be able to withstand setbacks and hardships, and good luck will always be with you.

No matter where you are or what you do, you should be like bamboo, with patience and perseverance, quietly accumulating strength and waiting for the moment of explosion. Only in this way can you show your value on the stage of life.

Maybe your efforts at this moment are not rewarded immediately, but never give up! Because all these efforts are taking root, accumulating, and settling, waiting to explode one day in the future.

The world has been quietly rewarding those who study hard, and cruelly punishing those who are mediocre and lazy.

A victorious soldier will fight again after a thousand victories, while a defeated soldier will fight again after a thousand battles. The best money-making asset in the world is people, yourself. If you work hard, you are a gold mine.
