Through the actions of the character Chao Chet, who is only a diamond miner, Chao Chet never hates work, even under the hot sun, Chao Chet dares to sacrifice his strength to work with all his heart and with great care. Moreover, Chao Chet even secretly loves Khun Naray, the daughter of his father. Chao Chet's desire has not faded. Finally, Chao Chet achieved both work and success in love. These all come from patience and knowing how to work slowly from the first step to the last step, which makes Mr. Luang Rattanasam and Khun Naray very satisfied.
According to the above explanation, it is more clear that every task or plan must be done in the first step, slowly, not too hastily, so that the fruits of love will be pleasing to the heart.
Through the above simple explanation, it can be concluded that this proverb really embodies many educational values, which cultivates everyone to be careful and patient. As a student, as well as all Cambodian citizens, we should be able to study hard and work hard, so that we will have no regrets in life.
An ancient Khmer proverb says: “Tak tại phận tốp!”. What is the educational meaning of this proverb? Khmer ancestors want to teach us: There are some things we need to be patient. For example: You learn to swim. You can’t learn in one day. But if you try every day, you will be able to swim one day. Therefore, don’t lose hope and be patient in everything you do in life. Be patient and try!. Efforts to benefit the public both in the present and the future, or to benefit each individual to come into being. Pathānak translates as effort, trying to benefit the public both in the present and the future, or to benefit each individual to come into being, is called pathānak.
The word that is a verb has many types, such as the word viryā, which translates as courage, power, and the ability to strive to fulfill the benefits to the end. Paragkam: means to move forward without slowing down, even if there are obstacles: no matter how much they hinder, you will not be excited, trembling, or shocked. Ussah: means to have patience, perseverance, and determination to do everything. Udana: means to give up laziness and get up and start working without getting tired. Mada: means to burn the heat or pull the things that cause defilements to come out of the mind. Chitta: means to have a strong and determined zeal for everything. Athitam: means to do something that happens at the right time and does not wait, does not hesitate, does it immediately, does not let time pass. Appadivani: means to do something that has not been completed, does not retreat, does not give up on that task.
Writing: Effort, Success, Part 1
In this world, people always want a good life full of happiness. But in life, everyone always has obstacles that prevent them from achieving success. Difficult problems and situations occur in a hurry, making people almost give up. For those who have a strong spirit and determination, they do not give up halfway. They only strive to overcome small and large obstacles little by little, even if they are tired and exhausted, they will persevere and try their best until they achieve the expected success. Therefore, there is a saying that (Perseverance leads to success).
(Speaker: One saying that (Perseverance leads to success). Explain with examples from society and literature.)
What does this proverb mean?
To help explain the above statement clearly, it is necessary to understand the meaning of the words perseverance and determination first. Striving is the effort to strive hard. The word determination refers to the result of a desire. The meaning of the speaker wants to show that a person's perseverance in the work he wants will definitely meet success.
Of course, effort is a powerful act that will make your wishes come true. This is because perseverance is a unique strength and has the power to solve problems and break down obstacles. As we know, every task that people do cannot immediately achieve the desired results. Sometimes it takes a long time, sometimes it fails or the results are not as desired. Therefore, only by trying as much as possible, little by little, from little to more, exploring good ways, experimenting, practicing, and being full of confidence, whether sooner or later success will come, do not despair at all. The benefits of all efforts are determined to make life strong, the future is prosperous, and the nation is also prosperous. In fact, some students who want to become professors, teachers, doctors, engineers, each one strives to be tireless, sometimes encountering difficult life, lack of funds to study, competitive exams, encounter failure, almost giving up hope, but because of perseverance and faith, they finally achieve the goal of obtaining the skills they want to become civil servants and have a very comfortable life. While some individuals start from small roles, day by day they strive to do their work with care. After many years, they develop themselves higher and get better positions as managers, CEOs, and have a very large salary. For farmers, farming encounters all kinds of obstacles and takes a long time to get results. Some years, suffering from crop damage by floods or pests, they have to struggle again until they get satisfactory results. Looking at the literary work Kolap Pailin by the writer Nhok Thayem, he shows a life of struggle (Buddhist Philosophy in Economics Episode 08)
