Olympic weightlifting champion Oscar Figueroa

Japanese writer keigo higano has a famous saying: "It's not difficult to give up, but persistence must be cool." giving up is like going downwind, and persistence is like going against the wind, so it's also important to choose the direction. The sail of jiante must have been constantly adjusted and tried. If you want to ride against the wind, the ease of going downwind should be the first to give up. The premise of persistence must be thought twice and then stand. If you want to benefit from it, you must first sharpen its tools. If you want to achieve the purpose of persistence, sharpen your mind must be the key. Think twice and shop, Find the right direction. The premise of persistence is to think about what you want to do, what kind of person you want to become and what kind of results you will achieve. Aimless persistence is as boring as chewing wax, and it is difficult to persevere

Winning or losing can only prove that the direction we adhere to is the right one, perseverance, and perseverance; With perseverance, gold and stone can be carved. Any thought must be implemented by practice. Yu Guoyan said that "empty talk will harm the country and work hard to prosper the country", and for himself, "only practice can produce true knowledge". The process of persistence is to hold the determination of repeated trials and failures, repeated failures and repeated trials, and do not make excuses. Today's things are finished today, and never delay or neglect.
