An old saying about forcing yourself to succeed.

What men are most afraid of is not that their efforts are fruitless, but that they choose to give up before trying. It's better to think a thousand times than to do it once. How can you know how good you are if you don't push yourself? It is better to change than to complain. If you don't grow up, who will be strong for you?

The writer Yang Daxia pointed out that it is better to force yourself than to be forced.
