Kid, you always have to try to stick to something

On the first day of summer vacation, after some discussion with my son, I helped him draw up a summer schedule, and then posted it on his door. Children are very playful and have poor self-control. I hope that through this method, they can always remind themselves to persist in doing something and have a fulfilling and enjoyable summer vacation. The first item on the schedule is to get up at 6 o\’clock to play basketball. On the first day, as soon as 6 o\’clock arrived, I asked him to get up. He immediately got up, put on his jersey, washed up, brought a basketball and water, and went out happily. After I finish my housework, I go for a walk in the park to exercise. Passing by the basketball court, I saw that he was the only one in the entire basketball court. He was taking the trouble to practice shooting, with a good shooting percentage and a three-pointer. I didn\’t disturb him and continued walking forward, feeling pleased with his efforts. The next morning, I asked my son to get up. He hesitated for a few minutes, but he still got up. When I left the house, I lost the joy of the first day. On the morning of the third day, despite my calls several times, he just said \”let me sleep a little longer\” and stayed on the bed refusing to move. Half an hour passed in a flash, and the sun was already shining brightly. I am angry. He said: \”Playing ball is really tiring. Why do we have to go every day? Can we go every few days?\” \”Playing ball is really tiring, so tell me, what are you doing that is not tiring? Don\’t my parents go out early and come back late to work?\” Are you tired? If we don’t insist on working, how can we let you go to school, let the whole family have food and clothing, and go on a trip? Only after hard work will you be happy. Without persistent efforts, it is impossible to get what you want. The result you want.\” \”I understand all this, but isn\’t it just a matter of playing ball? What will happen if I miss a few days of playing? The sun is so bright outside, and the temperature is so high these days…\” \”There are only four seasons in a year, If you are afraid of heat in summer and cold in winter, what can you learn if you fish for three days and dry the net for two days? If you don’t persist in anything, you will not make great progress. Even if you are very talented, it will only be short-lived. Part 1 In a basketball game, which team won the championship, do you think it is just the height advantage? If it were not for hard training day after day and superb skills, no matter how tall and strong it is, it would not be possible to achieve such good results. .\” When I mentioned this, my son suddenly sat up and said excitedly: \”I am not reconciled when talking about this. Our team had a chance to win the championship, but we were just two points away. Two points! Next time, we will definitely win. We need to take back the championship and defend the honor of our school. I\’m going to practice now!\” \”Well, you can definitely do it. Come on!\” I showed a happy smile. This morning, my son went to practice football as usual, and I went to the park to exercise as usual, and we both persisted. Breathing the fresh air and the fragrance of lotus, the bright sunshine above the head and the blue sky and white clouds, everything is so beautiful. As soon as I entered the park, I heard bursts of cheers. It turned out to be an old man practicing handstands. There was a towel spread on the ground, and his head stood on the towel. He supported the ground with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands, with his feet in the sky, constantly adjusting his posture and direction to maintain balance. I instantly thought of unparalleled magical skills such as \”Tietou Kung Fu\” and \”Two Finger Zen\”, and I couldn\’t help but respect the old man. The old man finally finished practicing. He stood up without changing his expression and spoke lightly.Loose and determined. Everyone applauded and cheered for him again. Many people chased the old man and asked him about his \”martial arts secrets\”. The old man smiled slightly and wrote lightly: \”Nothing but persistence.\” The old man\’s words reminded me of the famous saying of the oil seller: Nothing but familiarity. After walking a few steps further, there was a lush green lawn. A young father was playing on the grass with a four or five-year-old boy. The boy chased a small football and kicked it to his father, who in turn kicked it to him. After a while, the boy was sweating profusely and was not happy to play football anymore. He shouted that he was tired and bored and wanted to go home and watch cartoons. The father knelt down, held the child\’s hand, and said softly: \”Baby, don\’t you want to be a star when you grow up? Are you giving up now? If you don\’t persist and practice well, you will definitely not be a star in the future. Those Stars, they are practicing all day long, they are working hard.\” After listening to his father\’s words, the little boy\’s eyes flashed with excitement, and he asked: \”Dad, as long as I persist, can I become a football star?\” A star?\” \”You may not become a star if you persist, but if you want to become a star, you must persist. Baby, you always have to try to persist in something to know whether it works. Let\’s work together, okay?\” \”Okay? !\” The father and son high-fived happily and smiled brightly. When I went home and passed the basketball court, I found that my son was still practicing. The sun was already very strong at that time, and it was very hot on his body. I called my son home, and he reluctantly left. On the way back, he happily told me that a grandfather who often played there just chatted with him and said that he had been observing him for several days and praised him for his hard work and that he would definitely be successful in the future. \”He even praised me for being so sunny and handsome, haha!\” The son was a little embarrassed, but also a little proud. \”I think so too. You look really handsome when you work hard.\” I smiled. There are never shortcuts in this world. The only way to succeed is to persevere. This world is full of wonders and temptations, and no one doesn\’t like to have fun. We are swept up in the torrent of life, running wildly all the way, and sometimes it is inevitable that we will lose our way. But there is a secret garden in everyone\’s heart, where our dreams live and support us all the way forward. So, kid, you should always try to stick to something, and you should always try your best for your dreams. No matter what the result is, you will have no regrets or regrets.
