What are some examples of failure without persistence?

American scientist Bell announced the invention of the first telephone, which caused a sensation in the scientific community at that time. Unexpectedly, scientist Rice read a lawsuit against Bell, claiming that the invention right of the telephone should belong to him. After investigation by the court; Before Bell, Les did invent a device that uses electric current to transmit sound, which can transmit sound to places beyond 1000 meters.

However, this kind of equipment can only transmit sound in a single item, and the two parties can't talk. Rice agreed with this, so scientists and courts decided that this device could not be called a telephone. Bell said that he had used Rice's experimental results, but by changing intermittent current into continuous direct current, he solved the problem of short and changeable telephone voice.

He screwed half a turn of screws on Rice's equipment, only five meters, so that the phones could be connected to each other. The court finally ruled that Les lost the case, and the right to invent the telephone belonged to Bell. Les failed five meters away from success.

(2) In the wuyue War at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, avenged his father He Lv, and Qiang Bing, a rich country, finally defeated Yue, which was about to be destroyed. But I gave up halfway, and later released the tiger to the mountain, seeking pleasure and not working hard. The King of Yue Gou Jian was brave after knowing shame, hard-working and indomitable. In the last 20 years, Wu perished, Fu Cha perished, and the country was ruined.

(3) The fiasco of Liu Bei's Yiling War in the Three Kingdoms was apparently defeated by Lu Xun's ingenuity. Actually, it is not. He still failed to adhere to Zhuge Liang's longzhong right. Even if Sun Wu did not have Lu Xun, Liu Bei could not defeat Sun Quan, because Cao Pi would not let Liu Bei succeed. Liu Bei can't compete with the two countries with the power of Shu.

(4) The "Eight Kings Rebellion" in the Western Jin Dynasty. The rebellion of the Eight Kings was a scuffle within the royal family of the Western Jin Dynasty. The reason is that too many kings want to take the throne when they see the opportunity. Look at Cao Wei before the Jin Dynasty. There were not so many kings. Therefore, the reason of the Eight Kings Rebellion was that Sima Yan, the Emperor of Jin Dynasty, did not adhere to the stability policy of the previous dynasty.

⑤ Cheng Han's downfall is because Li Xiong, the ancestor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, did not adhere to the founding principle that "brothers are brothers and sisters, and fathers die and children succeed". Although it is not good to stick to the rules, for the sake of national stability, we can't just break the rules. Li Xiong didn't believe this. He named his nephew Prince. He has 65,438+00 sons. Presumably, someone will refuse to accept this nephew, which will of course lead to national turmoil and eventually be destroyed.
