Examples of ancient celebrities' success in adapting to the environment and adversity

1, head suspension beam.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a young man named Sun Jing who was diligent and studious. He studies behind closed doors from morning till night, with little rest. Sometimes it is easy to take a nap in the middle of the night.

In order not to affect her study, Sun Jing came up with a way to find a rope, one end of which was tied to her hair and the other end was tied to the beam of the house. In this way, when he is tired of reading and dozes off, as long as he lowers his head and the rope pulls his hair and hurts his scalp, he will wake up from the pain and continue to study. Later, he became a famous politician.

2, awl thorn stock

Su Qin was a famous politician in the Warring States Period, but when he was young, he didn't have much knowledge. He went to many places, and no one paid attention to him. Even if he had any ambition, he would not be reused. So he is determined to study hard.

Because he often reads until late at night, when he is tired enough to take a nap, he pokes his thigh with an awl prepared in advance, so that the sudden pain makes him wake up at once and cheer up to continue reading.

3. Dig the wall and steal the light

Kuang Heng is diligent and studious, but there are no candles at home. There are candles next door, but the light can't reach home. So Kuang Heng cut a hole in the wall to attract the light from next door, so that the light could shine on the book and read. There is a large family in the county who know nothing about literature and have a lot of books.

Kuang Heng went to a big company as an employee, but he didn't want to be paid. The host felt very strange, asked why, and replied, "I hope to read all the books of the host family." Hearing this, the master sighed deeply and used books to help Kuang Heng. So Kuang Heng became a great scholar.

4. Yeast

In the Jin Dynasty, Che Yin was always eager to study, but because of his poor family, his father could not provide him with a good learning environment. In order to maintain food and clothing, there is no extra money to buy him lamp oil for evening study. To this end, he can only recite poems during the day. One night in summer, he was reciting an article in the yard when he suddenly saw many fireflies flying at low altitude.

The flashing light is a bit dazzling in the dark. I think, if you put a lot of fireflies together, wouldn't it be a lamp? So, I went to find a white silk bag, immediately caught dozens of fireflies and put them in, then tied the mouth of the bag and hung it up.

It's not very bright, but it can be used for reading. From then on, as long as there are fireflies, just catch one and use it as a lamp. Diligent and inquisitive, I finally achieved something, and I went to the official department.

5. Snow reflection

Sun Kang's family is too poor to afford lamp oil. One night in the middle of the night, Sun Kang woke up from his sleep. When he turned his head to the window, he found a ray of light in the window. It turned out to be light reflected by heavy snow. He found that he could use it to read. So he was so tired that he immediately got dressed, took out his book and went outside.

The snow reflected on the wide earth is much brighter than the snow in the room. Sun Kang ignored the cold and immediately read a book. His hands and feet were frozen stiff, so he got up and ran, rubbing his fingers at the same time. Since then, every snowy night, I have never missed this good opportunity to study tirelessly. This hard-working spirit makes him a well-read person. Finally, he became an ancient scholar.
