[quote=ZOEY,262400]No.1 磨杵成针 (Mo 2 Chu 3 Cheng 2 Zhen 1). It means " To grind an iron rod into a needle---perserance spells success." History: Do you know Li Bai, a great poet in Tang Dynasty? It is said that he did not word hard on his study when he was young. One day, he found an old granny beside a creek grinding an iron rod on a rub stone. Li Bai asked:"What are you doing, granny?" She answered:" I am grinding this iron rod into a needle." Li Bai said:"It must need a long time to grind the iron rod into a needle." The old granny said:" As long as you work hard, you will have ground the iron rod into a needle." Li Bai was inspired by this granny's words and understood that he would be successful as long as he worked hard on his study. Finally, he became a great poet in Tang Dynasty.[/quote]
