Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, is a world-famous great speaker. His success lies in his hard practice of speech eloquence since his youth, and he has seen and listened more. When he was young, he worked as a farmer, a lumberjack, a shop assistant, a postman, a land surveyor and so on. In order to become a lawyer, he often walks 3 miles to a court to listen to lawyers' arguments and see how they argue and gesture. While listening to those politicians and speakers' impassioned speeches, he imitated them. He listened to the preaching of evangelists who traveled everywhere, waving their arms and shaking their voices in the sky. When he came back, he followed their example and practiced his speech repeatedly in the Woods and cornfields. The success of the speech made Lincoln finally become an eloquent lawyer and finally stepped into politics.
Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, didn't like reading when he was a child. One day, when the teacher was not in the house, he sneaked out to play.
He came to the river at the foot of the mountain and saw an old woman grinding an iron pestle on a stone. Li Bai was puzzled and asked, "Old woman, what are you doing grinding the iron pestle?"
the old woman said, "I'm sharpening the needle." Li Bai was surprised and asked, "Oh dear! The iron pestle is so thick, how can it be ground into a needle? " The old woman walked over and said, "As long as the iron pestle is always grinded more and more finely every day, are you still afraid that it will not be a needle?"
after hearing this, Li Bai, a clever man, thought of himself and felt ashamed. He turned and ran back to the bookstore. From then on, he kept in mind the truth that "as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is ground into a needle" and studied hard.
