Today, I read two stories and I was deeply moved. Although the stories are small, the truth is sobering.
Story 1: From the dream of getting rich to cows and chickens
A rich man saw that a poor man was pitiful, so he felt kindhearted and was willing to help him get rich. The rich gave the poor a cow and told him to clear up wasteland and sow the seeds when spring came, so that he could be away from poverty in autumn.

The poor started to open up wasteland with full hope, but within a few days, cattle had to graze and people had to eat. Life was more difficult than in the past, so the poor thought that they might as well sell the cattle and buy a few sheep and kill one to eat first. The leftovers can be used to give birth to lambs, which can be sold when they grow up and make a lot of money.
Sheep
The poor man's plan was put into action, but after he ate a sheep, the lamb was not born for a long time, and life became difficult again, so he couldn't help but eat another one. The poor thought that if things went on like this, it would be better to sell the sheep and buy chickens. The chickens would lay eggs faster, and the eggs would make money immediately, and their lives would immediately improve.
Old Hen
The poor man's plan was put into action again, but life did not change and became difficult again. She couldn't help but kill the chickens. When she finally killed only one chicken left, the poor man's ideal completely collapsed. There is no hope for the poor to get rich. It is better to sell the chicken, buy a pot of wine, drink three glasses of wine, and have nothing to worry about.

Soon, spring came, and the rich man with good intentions came to deliver seeds with great enthusiasm. He was surprised to find that the poor man was drinking pickles, the cows were gone, and the house was still impoverished.
In fact, in life, many people have dreams like poor people, and even have opportunities and actions, but it is difficult to persist to the end. Poor people always avoid difficulties, but rich people always find solutions to problems. Successful people find ways, and losers find excuses. This is probably the difference between the poor and the rich.
Only by persisting can we win and achieve brilliant results.
