2. The Wright brothers' flying dream
More than a hundred years ago, a poor shepherd took two young sons to herd sheep for others to make a living.
One day, they drove the sheep to a hillside, and a group of geese flew over their heads singing and soon disappeared in the distance. The shepherd's youngest son asked his father, "Where did the goose go?" The shepherd said, "They are going to a warm place, where they will settle down and spend the cold winter." The eldest son blinked and said enviously, "If only I could fly like a wild goose." The youngest son also said, "I wish I were a flying goose!" "
The shepherd was silent for a while, and then said to his two sons, "You can fly if you want."
The two sons tried, but neither could fly. They looked at their father suspiciously. The shepherd said, "Let me fly to you." So he opened his arms, but he couldn't fly. However, the shepherd said firmly, "I can't fly because I am old." You are still young. As long as you keep working hard, you will fly and go where you want to go in the future. "
The two sons firmly remember their father's words and have been working hard. When they grow up, when their brother is 36 and their brother is 32, they can really fly, because they invented the plane. These two men are the Wright brothers in America.

10, Pierre? Cardin's Choice-Pierre, a French teenager, likes dancing since he was a child. His ideal is to be an excellent dancer. But because of his poor family, his parents can't afford him to go to dance school. Pierre's parents sent him to a sewing shop as an apprentice, hoping that after he learned a craft, he could help his family lighten the burden. He was frustrated that his ideal could not be realized.
Pierre believes that it is better to end his life earlier than to live in such pain. On the night when he was about to commit suicide, he suddenly remembered Boudrie, who he admired since childhood and had the reputation of "the father of ballet music". Pierre felt that only Boudrie could understand his dedication to art, so he decided to write a letter to Budri, hoping that Boudrie would accept him as an apprentice. At the end of the letter, he wrote that if Budley didn't reply to his letter within a week and refused to accept him as a student, he would have to devote himself to art.
Soon, Pierre received a reply from Boudrie. Boudrie said in his letter that he wanted to be a scientist when he was a child. Because his family was poor, he couldn't send him to school, so he had to wander around with a busker ... Finally, he said that there is always a certain distance between reality and ideal in life. In ideal and real life, we must first choose to survive. Only by living well can the ideal stars shine; A person who doesn't even cherish his own life is not worthy to talk about art ... Budley's answer made Pierre suddenly wake up. Later, he studied sewing skills hard, and started his fashion career in Paris at the age of 23. Soon, he established his own company and clothing brand. This is Pierre Cardin. In an interview with reporters, Pierre Cardin said that he didn't have the qualities of a dancer, and becoming a dancer was just a frivolous dream of a teenager.
