A general from China's Three Kingdoms Period. Most notable of his service to Liu Bei.

What impress me the most was he still took part in Zhuga Liang's northern campaign at 70 year old! he was eager to proof his is not old; he cut down the enemy generals and score a victory. later his aggressive almost cause his troop to be cut off from the main army, lucky Zhuge Liang foreseen the danger and support reaches him in time...
"I thought of brave old people, of Zhao Zilong,
Who, in spite of numbered years three scores and ten,
Was marvelous strong in battle; who one day
Slew four opposing generals, as great as
When at Dangyang he had saved his lord."
Zhao Zilong Slays Five Generals;
Zhuge Liang Takes Three Cities.
- ROTK chapter 92

Surname Zhao, given name Yun, style Zilong. One of the greatest warriors of the three kingdoms era. At the battle at chang ban, he loosened his shield and strapped Liu Bei's son, Liu Chan then placed him inside his armor. He rode across thousands of enemy troops, cutting anyone who gets in his way as if cutting through mud. He encountered Cao Cao's general Xiahou En bearing the Luminous Sword but the latter was easily bested and Zilong claimed the sword for himself. When he surrendered the infant to Liu Xuande, Bei threw the child and said "Because of you, I've risked losing a great commander". He was then given a post as one of the Great Five Tiger Generals.

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
