No despair.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, historian Shangian after more than 20 years of painstaking writing, finally completed the Ming Chronicle-"Guo Monopolizing". Facing this can spread through the ages of the giant, Shangian heart of joy imaginable. However, he had not been happy for a long time, and something unexpected had happened.

One night, thieves into his home to steal things, see utterly destitute, nothing can steal, thought locked in Zhouzhi in the "State monopolizing" manuscript is a valuable property, the whole Zhouzhi stole. Since then, these precious manuscripts are unaccounted for.

More than 20 years of hard work in the blink of an instant, such a thing for anyone, is a deadly blow. For the year over six, the temples have begun to Gray Shangian, is a ruthless hit. But Shangian soon rose from the pain, determined to write the history book again from scratch.

After 10 years of moving on, another "state monopolizing" was born. The new "Guo Monopolizing" a total of 104 volumes, 5 million words, content than the original part more informative and wonderful. Shangian is therefore the name of the history, immortality.

The British historian Carlisle also suffered a similar misfortune.

Carlisle after years of hard work, finally completed the "History of the Great revolution in France" all the manuscript. He entrusted the huge manuscript to his most trusted friend, Mir, and asked for his valuable advice in order to further improve his manuscript.

A few days later, the mill turned pale and breathless, helpless to Carlisle with a tragic message: "The History of the Great revolution in France", in addition to a few scattered pages, has been all his home maid as waste paper , thrown into the stove burned to ashes.

Carlisle was unusually depressed in the face of the sudden blow. At the beginning of every chapter he wrote, he readily tore the original notes and drafts to pieces. The history of the Great Revolution of France, which he wrote with painstaking pains, did not leave any record to be recovered.

But Carlisle was back on his feet. He calmly said: "It is like I put the notebook to the primary school teacher correcting, the teacher said to me: ' No! Son, you must write better! ’”

He bought another big stack of manuscript papers and began another painstaking writing . The history of the Great Revolution in France, which we are now reading, is the result of Carlyle's second writing.

Life philosophy: All efforts are wasted, is the most desperate thing, but as long as you can start from scratch, there is no despair in life.

No despair.
