Today, I read "A Hundred Inspirational Stories," a book that tells the stories of famous figures from home and abroad, past and present, and how their relentless efforts led to their widespread recognition.
One story left a deep impression on me: "Opening the Door to Invite Thieves." It taught me that when facing difficulties and setbacks, merely crying or becoming dejected is not only unhelpful to oneself but also gives enemies the opportunity to exploit the situation. Being weak only emboldens the wrongdoers, akin to opening the door to invite thieves and, with them, disaster. Sun Quan understood this truth and adjusted his course in a timely manner, setting a great example for us.
To become a famous or learned person, one must not sit idly by and let time slip away but should seize the opportunity to study diligently. As the poem says, "If you do not work hard in your youth, you will only regret it in old age."
