Inspirational story 1: the inspirational story of Olympic champion Sang Xue.
Swimming up from the training pool, the girl habitually brushed the beads off her face and then combed her wet hair back. Then, she stood there for a long time, staring at the water that had accompanied her for many years. Finally, warm and clear tears poured out.
Why didn't she give up here? From the first time she jumped into the water alone at the age of 2 to the time she changed from gymnastics to diving at the age of 9, she loved this sport so much. Even when she was rescued from falling shock, her first sentence was: "Can I still dive?" I once gambled on the stage of life, but now I have to stick to it silently in another way. How can her heart not hurt? Besides, diving has brought her so many honors and cheers.
But, "It's dusk further, and life is life to take a step back". Who sang this? The state of life is not only to go forward bravely, but also to pause and give in. The last dive in the familiar training hall is a farewell to the past. She left.
After leaving, she applied for a job as a waitress in a coffee shop and got a job of helping people copy, calculate and type. No one can understand her choice, and even many people cast contempt and suspicion on her. Is there a problem? Still feel overwhelmed? Or is there a dispute with the coach teammates that is difficult to bridge? Otherwise, such a dazzling aura does not fight for hugs, but instead does those low-paid and hard work? However, when she entered the School of Journalism of China Renmin University, she knew that another kind of growth was slowly beginning.
Growth comes at a price. She forgot to eat and sleep, studied hard, and "chewed" those "heavenly books" with perseverance, just like she practiced diving in those days. After several years of hard work and precipitation, in 2006, the girl graduated from college smoothly. At the same time, by participating in the singing competition, she successfully signed a contract with a record company and released her first single "Wounded Snow" in the shortest time.
From the champion to the college student and then to the singer, the small figure has undergone several twists and turns, dazzling and gorgeous! This girl is Sang Xue, one of the women's 10 meter platform doubles champions at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. From 1998 to 200 1, Sang Xue cooperated with his teammates to complete the "grand slam" of gold medals in the World Cup, World Championships and Olympic Games.
Sang Xue still has no regrets about choosing to retire when his career is in full swing. Because, in the process of her numerous platform dives, she has long understood a truth: only when her feet exert downward force can she have the elasticity of jumping. The greater the downward force, the more "eye-catching" the moment the fish jumped off the platform. So is life. Rational and temporary "retrogression" is another kind of progress, because it is a more powerful force called ready to go!
2. Success is not far from us.
Rockefeller, the world-famous American oil giant, turned out to be just a small employee of an oil company. Moreover, his job is the lowest, most mechanical and least creative inspection and confirmation of whether the fuel tank cover is welded automatically.
He watches this kind of homework thousands of times every day, and his eyes are almost cocoon. It's really boring
Well, if someone else does this job, they will either jump ship immediately or die of old age by the machine forever. Cautious Rockefeller became a millionaire because of this work.
Once, he suddenly found that every time the fuel tank turned, 39 drops of flux fell, and the welding work was over.
Since then, he has been thinking: can the flux be less? If we can reduce the flow by one or two drops, can we save some costs?
He began to observe and study this problem for a long time, which was considered boring at that time.
Soon after, he developed "35-drop welder", "36-drop welder" and "37-drop welder". However, the continuous tests were all accidental oil leakage after welding, and they were unsuccessful. People advised him not to eat and have nothing to do. If he is idle, he might as well do it after work. However, Rockefeller did not flinch because of this, and developed the "38-drop welding machine". After the trial, it was unexpectedly successful. Soon after, he applied for a patent and found someone to invest in the production of this new energy-saving machine.
Rockefeller only saved a drop of flux, but "one drop" brought the company hundreds of millions of dollars in profits every year. He eventually became a famous American oil giant.
3. Get rid of impatience.
Lin Zexu was a famous politician in the late Qing Dynasty and a famous national hero in China's modern history. The people of China admire his advocacy of banning opium, resisting western aggression and safeguarding China's national interests.
However, although Lin Zexu was clever when he was a child, he was quick-tempered and careless and often made some mistakes. Father thinks that children will develop inertia and make big mistakes in the future.
One day, my father called Lin Zexu to his side and told him the story of a "keen judge".
Once upon a time, there was a judge who was very filial to his parents, so every time he met a prisoner who was not a dutiful son, he was particularly strict.
One day, two men brought in a young man, saying that the young man was an unfilial son and should be severely punished by the judge. Hearing this, the judge immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Somebody, hit this 50-person board."
The young man wanted to make a noise, but his mouth was blocked and he couldn't say anything. He had to get fifty boards and was beaten to pieces.
After a while, an old woman hurried in on crutches, crying that two thieves had sneaked into the yard to steal cattle and were caught by her son, trying to send them to the government, but they were unable to do so. Instead, two robbers tied up her son and told the judge that he was a dutiful son.
Hearing this, the judge thought: Did the wicked complain first, and I just hit her son? He hurriedly sent for the two kidnappers, but they had already escaped. At this moment, the young man who was knocked unconscious suddenly let out a cry. When the old woman saw it, it was her own son. She exclaimed and fainted to the ground, never to get up again.
The clever Lin Zexu knew that his father's story was aimed at his fault and said, "I must change my impatience."
The story of Sharp Judge is firmly in Lin Zexu's mind, and then he studies harder.
