When climbing the mountains of books, we need to use diligent steps to tread a path to the summit through the boundless wilderness.
When sailing the seas of learning, we need unremitting effort to hoist the high-hanging sail of our ideals.
People often marvel at the brilliant beauty of the flower of success, yet they rarely realize that its initial bud was drenched in blood and rain, soaked in the tears of struggle! Who accompanied it through that difficult and long journey in life? — Diligence! It is diligence that holds up its colorful sails, steers the helm of its life, and encourages it to walk forward bravely. Only in the rivers formed by converging sweat can the boat of one's career sail to the shore of ideals; that brilliant tomorrow is the fusion of today's sweat and blood!
The great figures standing atop the peaks of science show us not only the golden fruits of their labor, but more importantly, they compose a symphony of sweat and tears. They tell the world, through their silhouettes left on the horizon, about the calluses burned into their hands; their footprints covering the mountain peaks reflect the truth that "Life lies in diligence!" You, the young and talented generation of the 21st century, please do not let the boat of your pursuit moor in a quiet harbor. Let us ride the long wind, raise the sail of our ideals, and cross the oceans!
However, friends, you must know that without the soil of diligence, the seed of talent cannot find a future of spring blossoms, summer flowers, autumn fruits, or winter purity. Our tomorrow will be nothing but a shriveled seed buried in fertile soil, and the palace of my life will be merely a row of precarious walls swaying in the wind! At this very moment, do you still need to hesitate or waver? Get moving! Take our diligent steps, tread out of that boundless wilderness, and pave a golden avenue that belongs to us! Let us, under the urging of Time’s old man, build the splendor of the palace of our lives upon the cornerstone of diligence!
