Dreams require courage and perseverance

Someone cut a cake into seven pieces using three straight lines. And there are seven roses on each cake. How did he cut it?

He is 26 years old. He is a young man. He studied law, but he is very interested in history. He IS HUBEI, 5 years old with his father to the bookstore, a "up and down five THOUSAND years" of the book attracted him, his father asked him whether he like history? He answered blankly: What is history?

The book was priced at 5.6 yuan, when my father's monthly salary was 30 yuan, but my father bought it for him anyway. Over the next seven years, he read the book 11 times and became familiar with the emperors of China. Reading history books became his hobby, to the amazement of his contemporaries who were obsessed with video games and Hong Kong videos.

When he was in middle school, he read "Twenty-four Histories" and "Zhi Zhi Tong Jian", which were written in classical Chinese and made even college history students scratch their heads, but he felt that if he wanted to write lively articles, he had to read those boring books. Because Chen Duxiu and Lu Xun these famous professors profound sinology foundation, is with their early private school education is not unrelated.

But ironically, he was obsessed with history and did not do well in history, for the simple reason that his views were different from those in the textbooks. And history, he felt, should be interesting, not a textbook list of eras, people, events, and meanings, or an accumulation of unequal treaties.

Therefore, it is his dream to write real history that makes people like to read, but this dream can only be a dream in front of the powerful college entrance examination!

He was the only child in his family, so, for the eager eyes of his parents, he painstakingly prepared for the college entrance examination, finally, was admitted to an unknown university, he felt that in the university, the teacher did not teach him what.

To this day, he does not even want to mention the name of the school. He is in the university four years, is completely self-study, he does not talk about girlfriend, do not go to the Internet bar to play all night, oneself a person stay in the classroom to read, read oneself like to read history books! Sometimes late at night, he looked up, he was the only person in the empty classroom, and then looked outside, the silent campus was already no one.

After graduation, he took the civil service exam and passed it. He became a civil servant in Guangzhou. After six years of working, he still kept his college habits: no smoking, no drinking, no socializing. After work, he would go home and read. Finally, he had the idea of putting his dream into practice -- rewriting the history of Ming Dynasty!

Writing history books has always been the work of historians, and he, a small civil servant, had the idea. Regardless of what others thought, he began to write his own history.

Every night, he wrote for four to six hours, and to keep his head clear, he took cold showers several times a day, which made his skin allergic. But he kept at it.

Hold on to your dreams!

Soon, his posts on Tianya became popular. His post attracted a lot of netizens, and there was a fierce confrontation between supporters and opponents, which led to the resignation of three people.

Instead, he started blogs on Sina and Sohu, which quickly racked up 3 million hits without any publicity. His easy to understand, lively and interesting articles have attracted a lot of fans from children as young as 7 years old to university professors as old as 70.

He is the author of "Ming dynasty those things" in those days the bright moon, this to now still not willing to disclose their real names small civil servant, remain indifferent to fame and fortune, he went to the phoenix TV recording shows, the dress is washed all roll collar shirt, the ordinary one, but because the single-minded pursuit of dreams and become the least common civil servants in China. The dream gave him the wings to take off. In Zhuangzi's "Carefree Tour", the reason why the roc with three thousand li long wings can fly to the altitude of ninety thousand li is the hurricane on the sea, and the wind that holds up the wings of the moon is his unwillingness to ordinary life and his strong will to pursue the ideal.

Everyone has a dream, what is missing is the courage and perseverance to put the dream into practice.
