Once upon a time, there was a mother named Meng who had a son named Mengzi. Mengzi did not like to study when he was young and spent his days playing instead. Despite Meng's mother's repeated admonition, Mengzi refused to listen.
One day, Meng's mother saw that the children of her neighbors were all studying hard and was very surprised. Meng's mother asked her neighbor, "Why do your children work hard at their studies?" The neighbor replied, "Because only through studying can one become intelligent and successful."
After hearing her neighbor's words, Meng's mother was deeply shocked. She made up her mind to change Mengzi's bad habits. She burned all of Mengzi's books and told him, "If you don't study hard, you don't need to do anything else."
From then on, Mengzi began to study seriously and stopped playing around. He worked hard and became a talented person. Eventually, Mengzi became a renowned Confucian scholar.
This story tells us that only through hard work and dedication can we achieve success.
