Reading the book "100 Inspirational Stories" deepened my understanding of several life lessons. In particular, the article "Chen Jingrun's Several Sacks of Draft Paper" left a profound impression on me. It describes how Chen Jingrun successfully proved the "1+2" part of the famous Goldbach Conjecture. Those piles of draft paper were not only the steps for Chen to climb the peak of mathematics but also a testament to his hard work and sweat. This story taught me that genius is born from diligence.
When we are attracted to a grand goal, we must first ask ourselves if we possess the spirit of diligent study and the courage to strive silently. It is essential to understand that only through the hard work of our hands can we pave the road to success. Additionally, the story "Two Hungry Men" provided me with significant enlightenment. It suggests that even if immediate gains are within reach, they are often temporary. To ultimately lead a prosperous life, one must set high goals while also considering reality, integrating both aspects to achieve true abundance. Meanwhile, "Forty Thousand Experiments" reveals the power of perseverance. Forty thousand is a massive number; most people might have given up long ago, but Edison persisted and ultimately succeeded. This reminds us that we should never easily say "impossible" or "can't be done" when doing anything. We must remember Edison's quote: "There is no unsolvable problem in the world." Through these three articles, I am determined to be diligent, resilient, and ambitious in the future to achieve great accomplishments.
