Meaning: To keep carving without stopping (unwavering perseverance)
Summary: 锲而不舍 (qiè ér bù shě) is a highly positive idiom used to praise someone's persistence and grit. Originating from the writings of the philosopher Xunzi (荀子), it suggests that just as one can carve through metal or stone by not stopping, any goal can be achieved through continuous, 'never-say-die' effort. It is a staple in academic and professional contexts to emphasize that 'persistence is the key to success.'
