A girl, after graduating from Beijing Broadcasting Institute, applied for a job in a TV station. Although she got good grades, she was eliminated by Sun Shan in the fierce competition. Just as she was leaving the examination room, she suddenly changed her mind and asked the examiner to keep her, no matter what job she did. The examiner was moved by her sincerity and persistence and agreed to let her stay as a handyman. So, she swept the floor happily and busily, fetched water and newspapers, and did her job dutifully, but whenever she was free, she secretly practiced broadcasting. One day, the leader of Taiwan Province suddenly asked her to be on camera for a pilot broadcast, and the broadcast was out of control. She changed from a handyman to a host and was transferred to CCTV. This girl is now the gold medal host of CCTV-Zhou Tao.
Another girl, despite her best efforts, failed to enter the provincial women's football team. The girl begged the coach to keep her. The coach said that the main players were enough, and there was no need to enter again. The girl never gave up and told the coach that she would be a substitute as long as she could stay. When the coach asked her why she had to stay, the girl said, "Stay, and you will find the closest step to success. In this way, I have the opportunity to become the main force at any time. " The coach couldn't bear to refuse her and let her stay as a substitute. Usually when the players are training on the court, she practices the ball silently outside the court. The opportunity has finally come. In an important game, a main player was injured unexpectedly, so the coach had no choice but to send her on the field. She played well in this competition and became famous in one fell swoop. This girl is Sun Wen, winner of the Golden Boot Award in the Women's World Cup.

La Ciolina: The president is a minor.
On March 8, 2009, 35-year-old Andre? La Ciolina was elected President of Madagascar for a term of two years, making him the youngest president in African history.
La Ciolina, handsome in appearance, used to be just a radio DJ. Later, he began to organize many performances and gradually became a successful businessman. In 2000, he had owned several radio and TV stations in Madagascar, but he told himself in his heart that the president was the goal.
From radio DJ to a country's president, La Jolina has completed her "transformation" in more than ten years.
Some people think he is a maverick, others think he is a troublemaker, but more people think he is the most dynamic Malagasy. In 2007, he broke into Madagascar politics for the first time and was elected as the mayor of the capital with a high vote. In the following 12 months, he was removed from the post of mayor, and his relationship with the top government deteriorated sharply, not only competing with each other, but finally replacing him. The most important reason for becoming president is that he fully seized the opportunity-because the government shut down his TV station unreasonably and pursued it. He strongly criticized the president for dismissing himself as mayor without justifiable reasons, saying that he would fight to the end even if he faced jail. Although La Ciolina was removed from the post of mayor, he established the image of a victim in Madagascar and won the sympathy and support of his supporters.
In addition, the handsome and capable appearance also gives La Ciolina a lot of points, and the presidency is in his pocket.
■ Material application: seize the opportunity and stick to it. La Ciolina, the youngest president in Africa, once again tells us that there is no limit to success. He used to be a DJ on a civilian radio station, but now he holds the scepter of a country. As a minor, he stood at the starting line earlier than his peers, set out, ran and finally rushed to the end of victory!
