As the saying goes: "Those who have lofty ideals, things will be accomplished, the cauldron will be broken, and the hundred and two Qin Guans will eventually belong to Chu; the bitter hearted, the sky will not bear, the salary will taste the guts, and the three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu." "In fact, success requires the superhuman courage to break the sign, and victory requires the unremitting persistence of the lying gall. Zhengfeng boy needs to have the courage to cut through the iron, give up everything that does not matter, ride the wind and waves, hang up the cloud sails, cross the sea, and reach the ideal shore.
In the last year of the Qin Dynasty, the rule was in danger, and the Qin general Zhang Handan attacked the State of Zhao. The Zhao army was forced to retreat to Julu, and faced with the heavy siege of the Qin army, the Zhao army had to ask the princely state of Chu for help. Therefore, King Huai of Chu made Song Yi a general, and Xiang Yu led an army to rescue Zhao Guo as a deputy general. The general Song Yi had been pinning his hopes on Qin Zhao to take advantage of the damage of the Qin army in the battle, so the Chu army remained still for more than 4,000 days. Xiang Yu strongly opposed the general's proposition, and the two had a fierce conflict. At that time, the Chu army was faced with the difficulty of lack of grain and grass, but the general Song Yi indulged in drinking and taking care of himself, and finally Xiang Yu could not bear it and made up his mind to kill Song Yi in the name of Song Yi's treason and anti-Chu. Xiang Yu's move was very gratifying, and the native soldiers supported him as a general. So Xiang Yu led the Chu army to extradite the Yellow River to rescue zhao guo. In order to show his determination not to retreat and move forward bravely, Xiang Yu ordered the whole army to bring only three days of dry food, sink the ship they were riding on, destroy the used pots, and burn the barracks where they lived. Xiang Yu's behavior greatly boosted the morale of the Chu army and boosted the morale of the soldiers. The Chu army finally defeated the Qin army with one shot and ten and one drum.
At that time, Xiang Yu broke the Qin army in one fell swoop with the courage of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, and although that history has been long, it has not been forgotten by posterity. "Breaking the cauldron" has become a symbol of the determination to do things without hesitation, inspiring future generations to make continuous progress. In reality, people often make excuses for their failures and leave a way back for their tomorrow. Today's things are not finished, they always drag things out until tomorrow, and they lack the courage to act vigorously. Born in sorrow, died in comfort. Only in times of crisis can a person explode with astonishing courage and overcome countless difficulties. If he lived in comfort all his life, his fighting spirit would be consumed and his enterprising spirit would be sharply reduced. It's like the flea effect, a self-limiting person is doomed to have no brilliant future.
There was an eagle that fell from a tree as a child due to mischievous movements, and soon the mother eagle left the forest with her sisters. Luckily, the poor eaglet was found by a farmer who went for a walk in the mountains and brought home. At that time, the farmer's home was feeding the chickens, so the farmer put the eagles into the flock. At first, the eagle resembled a chick, but when it grew up, it was discovered that it was originally an eagle. After the surrounding neighbors knew, for the safety of the chickens, they advised the farmers to release the eaglets to nature. The farmer took the advice of the crowd and let the eagle return to nature. But the eagle already has feelings for people, and several releases have failed repeatedly. At this time, an elder proposed a good idea: he took the eagle to the extremely steep cliff and threw it under the cliff with a sudden release of his hand. The eagle didn't react at first, and a few seconds later it flapped its wings and took off into the air and flew into the blue sky.
If the eaglet continues to survive in the flock, it will only be like a chicken for the rest of its life, and it will never know that it can spread its wings and soar. This is like human potential, which will not be discovered until the last resort. People in life often leave a way back for themselves, which makes themselves without a sense of crisis, and they will not better tap people's inner potential. Therefore, if people want to achieve their careers, they must learn the courage of Xiang Yu to break the boat, have the courage to cut off their own back road, and let themselves temper their steely will in the cliff where there is no way to retreat. Life should not be afraid of the cliff, but learn to give yourself a cliff and let yourself hone yourself on the top.
In 1927, the American Berlin flew a single-player single-engine plane over the Pacific Ocean for 32 hours. In the decades since, this record has been difficult to break. Because the Pacific Ocean is the world's first ocean, it is not easy to fly an airplane through this vast sea. In particular, small aircraft, because their fuel load is very limited, if you want to fly over the Pacific Ocean, it is inevitable to refuel halfway. According to incomplete statistics, most of the plane crashes occurred during the landing process, especially single-person single-engine aircraft, which is even more difficult. The aircraft taxis to the end of the runway with a single engine, and once the speed of liftoff is not reached, there is often a risk of crashing or falling into the sea, and increasing the fuel load of the aircraft undoubtedly means increasing the risk factor.
However, this insurmountable world record was broken in 1984 by a Chinese named Cai Yunwei. Cai Yunwei flew the "Overseas Chinese Spirit" small plane across the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to Taipei, setting a world record for flying over 7312 nautical miles in 35 hours and flying over the Pacific Ocean by a single-person single-engine aircraft. He became the first Oriental to fly a small plane over the Pacific Ocean and the first Chinese. His achievements were included in the "World Aviation Records Encyclopedia", and to this day, his world record has not been broken, and no one has challenged him to succeed. At the press conference to award the certificate, Cai Yunwei explained the mystery of his success to the world: "Since the moment the plane took off, I cut off my own retreat and put myself on the cliff of fate. It is precisely in the face of this situation that there is no way back, I will concentrate on moving forward and strive for my own place in life. Indeed, as Lu Xun said, only by getting rid of despair can we rise again. Only when there is no distraction in the center of crisis and courage to move forward, can we survive in a desperate situation and turn danger into disaster.
Once, an old captain personally directed a freighter to escort the cargo. When the freighter arrives at its destination and returns after unloading its cargo, the sky is not beautiful, and the storm is raging. The sailors had never encountered such a storm in their sailing experience, and they were terrified and panicked. To their surprise, the experienced old captain ordered the sailors to immediately open the cargo hold and pour water into it. This puzzled all the sailors and passengers that there was something wrong with the old captain's brain. But the military orders were like mountains, and the sailors did not dare to disobey, so they had to obey the old captain. As the water level in the cargo hold rose higher and higher, the ship gradually sank inch by inch, while the threat of fierce winds and waves gradually decreased, and finally the freighter landed smoothly. The captain said in a serious tone: "The probability of a huge ship of tens of thousands of tons being overturned is almost zero, and it is usually a small boat with a lighter foundation that is overturned." Therefore, the ship is the safest when carrying weight, and the extremely dangerous when the ship is empty. This is known as the "stress effect."
Only when there is pressure will there be motivation, and only then will there be the courage to fight backwater; no pressure is like a deflated balloon, which can never move quickly. Some people mourn and sigh all day long, pessimistic and disappointed, and be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day; they often do not experience the tribulations of life, do not have a sense of crisis in their hearts, and will not have the courage to break the boat. Their ship of life is aimlessly moving in the vast sea, and it is easy to sink to the bottom of the sea in the event of sudden rainstorms.
