<<Eat bitterness and bear hardships because,, “” through difficulties, to the heights “”.. high school motto>> I bumped into an old high school friend I hadn't seen since 1970, over 50 years ago, about a year back. I asked him if he remembered the high school motto and, by golly, he had kept a copy cut from his school blazer. Just as well... as I understand the school dropped it decades ago. But not with us, even though we thought we were rebels and hated school.... the motto lives on.

Re <<motto>> ... attended kindergarten and Forms 1 - 3 the China China China, and four sentences come to top of mind, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" "A single spark can start a prairie fire" "Serve the people", and "Fear neither hardship nor death" the 'hardship' is 'ku', in 'chi ku' of 'eat bitterness', and therefore absolutely nothing wrong with what Core Comrade motivated the youth with. At the time I was already comedic, and I varied the last ditty to "Fear neither hardship nor death, not afraid of heat and cold, eat hunger and sleep no-sleep, etc etc" - and no, the teachers did not appreciate my humour and called my parents in. It would be different should POTUS Biden use such a motivation. Reminder of back story of Xi Message 34324306 and he certainly 'had hardship for breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner'. en.wikipedia.org marxists.org en.wikipedia.org en.wiktionary.org

Son's high school latin motto = Per Angusta, Ad Augustus = through difficulty to the highest. When he started there, I asked the third form dean what that motto meant. He didn't know. So I looked it up. It's a common concept in the human realm. He got too much difficulty in life. Eat bitterness and bear hardships because,, “” through difficulties, to the heights “”.. high school motto Originally in Latin but forgotten. ;+) I guess yours was the same motto. Mqurice
