A joke that wants to persuade people to keep their feet on the ground

Success, this extremely familiar but unfamiliar word, attracts the hearts of generations of people. People's desire for success seems to be instinctive. Success always makes people happy, failure always makes people depressed. But who has ever thought about what it takes to succeed? The road to success is not something that can be reached by walking aimlessly, nor is it something that people who just want to see things in a hurry can get involved in. It requires you to walk with your heart and down to earth.

An astronomer was observing the starry sky in the wilderness at night. Because he was only looking at the sky and did not pay attention to his feet, he missed the step and fell into a dry well. This spirit of courage to explore and selfless work seems worthy of praise. But this kind of spirit can only play its due role under the right conditions. If you fall into a dry well just because of your own negligence, no matter how talented you are and how knowledgeable you are, you may only be able to survive here. Crying loudly for help in the wilderness! If you are lucky, you will be rescued, ask the reason, say a few words you don't like to hear, and then it will be over; if the god of luck always goes against you, then you can only spend your time in this dry well. The exploration of life has just begun. At that time, you may truly feel the sadness of "the frog in the well". Therefore, in this colorful world, among the millions of roads in life, whether you take an ordinary path or not, what matters is whether you are walking down-to-earth.

Looking around the world, there are many successful people who will remain in people's hearts forever. However, if we look at it, there is no one who has made brilliant achievements without conducting research down to earth. If Marie Curie did not have that down-to-earth spirit and was busy in the laboratory for several months, not seeking speed, only seeking efficiency, and exploring step by step, how could she have extracted one gram of pure radium from a ton of minerals? . If Edison didn't have that down-to-earth spirit, how could he choose the most suitable filament for the light bulb from among the many metals? How could he proudly say on his seventieth birthday: "I am already one hundred and thirty years old." It is this quality of being down-to-earth and starting from small things that makes this known as the "Master of Time" and the "King of Invention" that will always be remembered.

Friends, please don’t hurry. When you have just taken a step, please don’t forget to look back and see if the land you just stepped on has your footprints. Are the footprints deep? At the same time, don’t forget to put a placard next to your footprints to tell those who come after you not to forget to leave footprints as memories of your old age!

Maybe in a few years, you will succeed. While you are overjoyed, please remember to tell the world the secret of your success: the road to success must be down-to-earth!
