I like this idiom about perseverance the most.

Everyone has advantages and disadvantages. As the saying goes, 'No one is perfect, and no one is perfect. ’

We should learn from each other’s strengths and make progress together. My strength is persistence. I remember it was a winter with flying snowflakes, and heavy snow fell like goose feathers outside the window. Since my parents were away, I took my three-year-old sister at home to look after the house. It was cold in the house, and the fire in the stove was sluggish. ‘Sister, it’s so cold. ’

My sister said tremblingly. As she spoke, her upper and lower teeth kept fighting. ‘You sit here for a while, and my sister goes to see if the fire in the stove has gone out. ’ I used a hook to lift the lid on the stove and saw that the fire in the stove was out. I thought to myself: ‘It’s such a cold day, how can we not light the stove? What's more, my sister is so young, the cold will be bad! no way! Try making a fire! I imitated my mother, first put a few pieces of coal into the stove, and then took some newspapers to light the fire.

‘Why doesn’t it work? ’ The flame in the stove opened his eyes, looked at me, and then continued to ‘close his eyes and meditate’. ‘This irritating flame usually gets off my mother’s side, but today, it just got serious with me. no! For the sake of my sister, I must turn on the stove! ’ I continued to do this, again and again, but the fire in the stove refused to cooperate. I was so angry that I seemed to give up. However, the sister next to me is waiting to warm herself up by the fire! If this continues, my sister will freeze to death! I used an electric fire to heat up a pot of water for my sister, poured the hot water into the hot water bottle, and let my sister hold it. And what about me? Go ahead and light the stove. The fire in the stove is really shameless! No matter what I did to it, it just wouldn't burn. Suddenly, it dawned on me: I should get out the ashes first. I was thinking about it, but unexpectedly, the fire in the stove really woke up from my dream. I added fuel to the fire again. I found some flammable plastic and put it into the stove. The fire in the stove It was getting more and more prosperous, so I added a few pieces of coal and closed the lid of the stove. After a while, the whole room became warm. The fire in the house not only warmed my body, but also my heart.

Because I learned to light the stove through my perseverance and wisdom. From this, I understood a truth - just using brute force to do things is not enough. You have to persevere and use more brains to get things done successfully.
