Let's learn to face all kinds of problems in study, work and life with an inspirational heart. Gratitude lets us learn to cherish and treat life well, and let us deeply appreciate the richness of life. There are many inspirational stories of celebrities in history. Come and have a look with me!
Celebrity inspirational story 1 It seems that no one can easily deny her unique talent in music and her family studies that others can't match.
Known as a "prodigy" since childhood, she played the piano with her mother, who was a music teacher in primary school, and gave her first solo concert at the age of 4. Not only did he get excellent grades and jump twice, but he also played tennis and figure skating well. /kloc-When she was 0/6 years old, she entered the Music School of the University of Denver to study piano, and she dreamed of becoming a professional pianist.
Dreams are the wings of life, dreams are the yeast of success, and life is colorful because of dreams. With the warm attraction of the dream lamp and the birth of extraordinary talents, everyone believes that she will become a musical leader in a few years.
However, to her surprise, she backed out and started an ice-breaking journey with a brand-new dream. It turned out that at the famous Aspen Music Festival, she was hit. "I met some 1 1 year-old children who can play the song I want to practice for a year at a glance," she said. "I don't think I can play at Carnegie Hall one day." So she began to redesign her future and found a new goal-international politics. "This course resonated with me," she said. "It's like being in love ... I can't explain it, but it really attracts me." From then on, she turned to study political science and Russian, and found the career she pursued all her life.
The American girl's name is condoleezza rice, and she was born in 1954+0 14 June 65438+ 10/4. Not long ago, she was nominated to replace the resigned Secretary of State Powell. She was called "the most powerful woman" in Washington by the media. Forbes magazine named 100 the most influential women in the world, and Rice topped the list. Some even boldly predicted that she might be elected president in 2008.
The god of dreams stood in his heart for more than ten years and looked at it devoutly for more than ten years, but suddenly one day he collapsed because of the outstanding performance of a group of children. Is there anything more painful than burying your dreams? The more incredible others find it, the more it precipitates Rice's rare sober and independent judgment: the most valuable thing for a person is not to discover his own strengths, but to accurately discover his own shortcomings and eliminate them, so as not to make them an obstacle to life. If Rice sticks to her dream of becoming a professional pianist, she may eventually become an ordinary pianist instead of a pianist. It was the precious "retreat" that made her find the fulcrum of her life, and the painful life course of turning pupa into butterfly gained a beautiful new life like a phoenix bath fire.
Sticking to the dream of life is a kind of courage, wisdom and positivity. But it takes more courage and wisdom to bury the old dream, bid farewell to the old self, conceive new dreams, chase the new self and completely deny the self, even as fierce as a strong man's broken wrist. The precious "retreat" in life is not a passive retreat, nor a swing of coordinates, but a positive breakthrough. Sometimes I dare not say "quit" easily, just because I don't know my own advantages and disadvantages, or even the coordinates of my life, so I have to insist helplessly.
Misa, dragging two big suitcases abroad for the first time, walked into the waiting hall. She searched everywhere for a long time, but she couldn't find her nephew who promised to meet here. She sighed lightly and sat down to wait for her nephew.
Because she had just had a kidney operation, Mrs Misa went to the toilet more often than ordinary people, but there was no sign of her nephew. Although many things she brought were not very valuable, they were all precious, because they were gifts that she had saved for many years to give to relatives and friends in the city. She had to endure and look around anxiously.
"Madam, can I help you?" A smiling young man sat down beside her.
"Oh, no, not yet." Misa looked at the young man.
The young man in casual clothes took out a book and read it like no one was watching.
"This unpunctual guy will have to blame him in the future." Mrs. Misa began to complain about her nephew.
After a while, Mrs Misa really couldn't stand the physical demands. She turned to the young man beside her for help: "Please look after my luggage. I'm going to the bathroom. "
The young man nodded happily and agreed.
Mrs Misa will be back soon. She gratefully took out a dollar and handed it to the young man:
"Thank you for taking care of my things. You deserve it. "
Looking at the old man with a serious face, the young man replied "thank you", took the dollar and put it in his coat pocket.
At this moment, Mrs. Misa's nephew, wearing a suit and tie, came up to her quickly. He was about to explain why he was late when suddenly the young man next to the old man was surprised and said, "Hello, Mr. Gates, are you on this flight?"
"yes." The young man put away his books and started walking towards the ticket gate.
"Which door?" Mrs Misa followed in bewilderment.
He is Mr. Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, and the president of Microsoft whom I often tell you about. My nephew dragged his suitcase and told Mrs. Misa loudly.
"Oh, I finally know the secret of his success today. I only paid him a dollar. " Mrs Misa's face was calm and proud.
"Did he really accept your reward of one dollar?" The nephew opened his mouth wide in surprise.
"Yes, I'm glad I still have a dollar while waiting for the plane today, because I did a small thing for this lady." Gates turned around and answered calmly.
This is definitely a sentimental story-because of a natural seriousness, a poor rural old lady, Mrs. Misa, and the world's richest man worth tens of billions are very concerned about that little dollar, which makes that dollar exceed its own value: in the eyes of the former, it is a kind of labor that must be paid; In the latter's mind, it is respect for a sincere thank you that must be responded.
There is no wealth gap and no status difference. In a simple way, they tell the world with extraordinary calmness that no matter who they are, they should be willing to help others and accept their help, generously pay their own labor and accept the corresponding rewards, so that wealth will continue, not only materially but also spiritually.
Jonathan is a black handyman in the White House, and his wife Davis is also a cleaner in the White House. One day, Jonathan said that he found some quails on the lawn of the White House while weeding. Davis had never seen quail before and wanted to know its appearance, but Jonathan refused because he felt very tired after weeding in the White House all day. At that time, Davis was very angry and said angrily, "If you don't give an explanation, I will ask President franklin roosevelt for help!"
I didn't expect Davis to really do this! At that time, Roosevelt gave a detailed answer, put down his book and went to the lawn with Davis, pointing out that the bird with a chestnut yellow head not far away was a quail.
The president is as busy as a bee in dealing with the bad economy. Davis shouldn't bother the president with such a trivial matter. Jonathan blamed Davis very much for this, thinking that she was ignorant and stupid, and warned: "If you continue like this, you may be fired from the White House tomorrow!"
Later, when Roosevelt learned about it, he said to Jonathan, "I don't think Davis did anything wrong, and I can't see her ignorance and stupidity!" " Jonathan, it's just that you think too complicated. I tell you, if a person can't solve the little things around him, don't expect him to solve the big things! "
Jonathan still "topped" the sentence: "But I am thinking of the president! If everyone bothers you at this time, won't it affect your work? "
"no! As a president, major events need to be solved by themselves, but we cannot ignore the small things around us. " Roosevelt was moved by Jonathan's understanding: "What you said is also very reasonable, but it depends on the occasion. If you are really too busy to answer other people's small questions in time, you should also say you are sorry and explain to others, because you can't answer them immediately because of something urgent. If we meet next time, I will remember ... "
"Quails can be seen at any time on the lawn of the White House. If you don't take this as a trivial matter and promise to take Davis to the appraisal tomorrow, the contradiction between husband and wife will not be so big! " Having said that, Roosevelt's words returned to the topic, "Don't think that these things that can be solved easily are trivial, so you can shirk or ignore them! If this goes on, people's grievances will increase and people's anger will grow. As president, you can not only do great things, but also do small things well. In the face of big things and small things, we can't lose big because of small things! "
"Don't repair with small profits, and don't guard against small losses". Roosevelt can become the longest-serving president of the United States, which is inseparable from his attitude of "no small matter" all his life!
Franklin was one of the founding fathers of America. When he was young, he visited an old man who lived in a low hut. When Franklin swaggered in, his forehead banged against the door frame and he was bruised all over. The old-timer came out to meet him with a smile and said, "Does it hurt? Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? This is the greatest achievement of your visit to me today. If a person wants to understand the world and practice human feelings, he must always remember to bow his head. Bowing your head is also a gesture of being a man! " Franklin remembered the words of his predecessors, kept a low profile, and made his own career by not showing mountains and not showing dew.
The mountain does not mean that it is high, and it does not affect its standing in the clouds; The fact that the ocean cannot explain its depth does not affect its ability to accommodate hundreds of rivers; The earth doesn't explain its thickness, but no one can replace it to breed everything ... Being a man without explanation becomes a wise man's choice. Bowing one's head to be a man is a gesture, a cultivation and a mind.
Franklin's story reminds me of another person's experience, that is, Peisi Chen. Twenty years ago, Peisi Chen performed a sketch with Zhu Shimao at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, which made him become a big hit from an ordinary movie actor overnight. When invitations from all over Shang Yan poured in, Peisi Chen was not carried away by fame and fortune. He thinks that life is a tragicomedy, and what he needs to do more is to do what a clumsy "nobody" should do modestly and dutifully. Encouraged by this idea, he worked hard in the more barren fields of comedy, film and drama. Today, Peisi Chen has created a group of lifelike little people on the comedy film and drama stage, and achieved success. In this regard, he said that horses always sleep standing up. Although his posture is a bit clumsy, it doesn't affect his running speed.
Dare to be an ordinary person, dare to be a clumsy person at the peak of fame and fortune, isn't this a kind of grace, a kind of wisdom and a kind of strategy? Isn't this the best gesture to be a man?
As the saying goes, the rafters in the early days are easy to rot. It is difficult to be a man, and it is difficult to stabilize the mentality from restless emotions and desires; It is difficult to achieve anything, and it is difficult to sort out the mess of contradictions and interests. In today's society, getting along with people may cause a lot of trouble as long as it is handled slightly improperly. Lighter, unhappy at work; What's more, it affects your career. So we should learn to be a low-key person and look at everything in the world with a peaceful attitude. When you are humble, you are happy and open-minded; When you are prominent, if you are profitable, you will not be arrogant or crazy. Only by being big but not arrogant can we protect ourselves and integrate into the society, but also hide our strength, sneak in the cracks, achieve our career, and not show the mountains and dew.
Nightingale was born in a rich family. She likes to help injured sheepdogs and babies since she was a child. Becoming a nurse is her lifelong dream, because she has experienced the fragility of life. But she was afraid to tell her family, for fear that they would object.
After the family knew it, they strongly opposed it, but she didn't give up. Finally, her mother agreed that Nightingale would go to Germany for training. After my German training, I was introduced by Mr. Habart and worked as a head nurse in a private hospital in London. After becoming a head nurse, she put forward many measures to make patients more comfortable. It was not until 1854 that she read in the newspaper that the British and French allied forces joined the Croatian-Armenian war, and more and more soldiers were injured in the war. So nightingale wrote a letter of introduction to the British Secretary of the Army, expressing her willingness to be a battlefield nurse.
When I arrived, the battlefield was a mess. The chief military doctor there looked down on women and didn't want them to help, but the number of wounded soldiers increased rapidly, so I had to ask nightingale for help. With nightingale's efforts, the environment improved a lot, but she was overworked and fell ill. In the end, nightingale also defeated the germs with strong willpower. Although her health is not as good as before, she still works very hard. After the war, Britain sent warships to take Nightingale home, but she didn't want to make a fuss, so she quietly went back to Britain by boat.
After returning to China, she established a nursing school, and Nightingale also joined a course to improve nurses' morality. The students who graduated from this school are all excellent. Florence nightingale died in her sleep, and her birthday, May 12, was designated as "Nurses' Day" by later generations. I hope everyone can inherit the spirit of angels in white, make the world full of love, and let patients get the most perfect care and dignity.
In the past, the profession of nurse was regarded as a lowly job by everyone, and nurses gave everyone a bad impression, so Nightingale was strongly opposed by her family. Nightingale devoted her life to nursing. She changed the stereotype of nurses in the past, but she never gave up this idea when she was ruthlessly frustrated. Edison, the great inventor, said, "Many failures in life are because people don't realize how close they are to success when they give up their efforts." If nightingale gives up, she may not know how close success is to her. And her efforts and persistence have won great admiration and admiration from future generations.
Nightingale has been marching towards her dream step by step, which is the result of her efforts and the crystallization of her efforts. I believe that nothing is impossible as long as you are willing to work hard. If you haven't achieved your goal, it may be that you haven't worked hard enough. Nightingale's angelic care for patients is the expression of human love and the best example for the world forever!
Celebrity Inspirational Story 61881July, US President james garfield was assassinated at Washington Station, and was seriously injured and needed surgery urgently. But it was summer and the temperature was as high as 40℃. The doctor asked to lower the temperature below 30℃ to ensure the success of the operation. Therefore, the American government gave this arduous task to an engineer named Xie Duo.
However, at that time, cooling indoor air, let alone Xie Duo, was never done by some scientists. In many people's experiments. Except for the snow and ice in the mountains, there is no artificial cooling method in this world.
Xie Duo is a thinking engineer. He once worked in a mine and knew how to dilute the air, thus reducing the gas concentration in the coal mine roadway. He thought, since air will release heat after compression, will it also absorb heat when the compressed air returns to its original normal state? Xie Duo immediately started the experiment and found that reducing compressed air can cool the surrounding air. So Xie Duo installed such a machine in the president's ward and successfully lowered the indoor temperature from 37℃ to 25℃. Therefore, Xie Duo became the inventor of the world's first air conditioner and turned himself from an unknown engineer into a pioneer of a new life.
The invention of vacuum cleaner. I have had such an experience of "trying backwards". One year, people held a "dust collector" performance in London. The working principle of "vacuum cleaner" is to blow away dust with the wind, so many spectators at the scene are blown all over with dust. People come back disappointed on a whim. A man named Booth thought: Blowing dust doesn't seem to work, can you find another way? How about blowing dust instead of vacuuming? Booth came home, covered his nose and mouth with a handkerchief, and leaned on the ground to inhale hard through his mouth. As a result, the dust no longer flies around, but is adsorbed on the handkerchief. Later, the vacuum cleaner was made according to Booth's idea.
Not only Shedo and Booth, there are many examples in the world that skillfully use reverse thinking to make themselves successful. On the way to success, we often encounter many seemingly insurmountable obstacles. When we can't solve them by conventional methods, we should learn to turn our minds around-try the other way around. Because facts show that many creative leaps are often the result of breaking through conventional and habitual thinking. A road. When we clearly see that there is a dead end ahead, we might as well try to turn around, maybe the surprise of a bright future is not far away!
Naughty Fu Haifeng and Cai Yun, three years older than themselves, picked up rackets almost in the same year and began to spend time playing badminton. The difference is that his parents let him play ball because he is too naughty. In order not to get his son into trouble, he had to find something to tie his heart.
When he was six years old, Xiao Haifeng always liked to ride his tricycle around the farm when he was free. Once, he saw his neighbor's sister struggling with two buckets of water. Fu Haifeng's eyes, as big as a child, turned round and round, and a "bad" idea came to mind-he aimed at the bucket, adjusted the direction of the handlebar, stepped up the pedal at his feet, and the speed was getting faster and faster. With a bang, the bucket the girl was carrying was knocked to the ground, splashing and wetting her clothes. Seeing that her efforts were wasted because of this annoying little boy, the girl lost her head. She grabbed a wooden bucket and poured the remaining half of the cold water on Fu Haifeng. The "devil incarnate" who is fearless on weekdays is also dumbfounded at the moment. In an instant, he became a "drowned rat". He tried to turn and run away, but he was caught by his elder sister and was scolded. He once made others cry, and this time it was Fu Haifeng's turn to cry.
He came home in a mess and complained to his mother. Lin Yinchan angrily ran to the neighbor's house, but the girl said with grievance, "He got me covered in water first. Why don't you ask him why he hit my bucket with his bike? " Lin Yinchan was speechless.
From then on, she began to wonder if there was any way to control her son and prevent him from causing trouble everywhere. However, my children are so skinny that I don't trust to give them to anyone. After much reasoning, she thinks it is most appropriate to put Fu Haifeng on her husband's badminton team. First, my son grew up most afraid of his father. With her husband's strict discipline, maybe the child can converge a lot; Secondly, playing ball can not only exercise, but also cultivate children's indomitable spirit. So, the couple "announced" that they had chosen badminton for Fu Haifeng.
In fact, this decision is not completely mandatory for Xiao Haifeng. As long as he can remember, he knew that his father loved badminton, was a famous coach in the town, and brought many players. I heard that his parents want him to practice playing ball, and he only wants to play ball with a large group of friends, and has no idea about his future career and future achievements. In this way, his fate with badminton began in a blur.
On May 20th, 20001,an American salesman named george herbert successfully sold an axe to President George W. Bush. The Brookings Institution learned the news and gave him a golden boot engraved with "the greatest salesman". This is the first time since 1975 that a student of our society has successfully promoted a miniature tape recorder to Nixon, and another student has reached such a high threshold.
The Brookings Institution was founded in 1927, which is famous for training the most outstanding salesmen in the world. It has a tradition, that is, when each student graduates, design an internship that best reflects the salesman's ability, so that students can complete it. During Clinton's administration, they raised such a question: Please sell a pair of briefs to the current president. In the past eight years, countless students have racked their brains for this, but in the end they all failed. After Clinton left office, the Brookings Institution changed the topic to: Please sell President Bush an axe.
In view of the failures and lessons of the first eight years, many students gave up. Some students even think that this graduation internship will be as fruitless as during Clinton's administration, because the current president lacks everything, and even if he lacks it, there is no need to buy it himself; To say the least, even if they come to buy it in person, it may not be the right time for you to sell it.
However, george herbert did it effortlessly. When interviewed by a reporter, he said this: I think it is entirely possible to sell President Bush an axe, because President Bush has a farm in Texas, where many trees grow. So I wrote him a letter, which said: once, I was lucky enough to visit your farm and found that there were many Japanese chrysanthemum trees growing there, some of which were dead and the wood had become soft. I think you must need a small axe, but judging from your present physique, this small axe is obviously too light, so you still need an old axe that is not too sharp. Now I happen to have such an axe here, which was left to me by my grandfather and is very suitable for chopping down trees. If you are interested, please reply to me at the email address left in this letter ... Finally, he sent me 15 USD.
After george herbert's success, the Brookings Institution said in recognition of him that the Golden Boot Award has been vacant for 26 years. During these 26 years, the Brookings Institution has trained tens of thousands of salespeople and created hundreds of millionaires. The reason why we didn't give them this golden boot is because we have been looking for such a person, who will never give up because someone says that a certain goal can't be achieved; Never lose heart because things are difficult to do.
Celebrity inspirational story 9 After Han Xin and Chu won the bet, Chu's strategist Fan Zeng said to Chu, "Han Xin is either reused or killed, but he can't be fooled by Liu Bang."
The overlord of Chu has no eyes for Han Xin, but he still refuses to reuse him. When Han Xin was frustrated, he sneaked away and wanted to find Liu Bang. Fan Zeng heard that Han Xin had run away, so he advised the overlord of Chu to chase him. The king of Chu doesn't want to go yet. Fan Zeng said, "This man is your sworn enemy. If you don't kill him here, it will be difficult to kill him in the future. "
The overlord of Chu was persuaded by Fan Zeng, so he killed Han Xin with his military forces. Korea started to run, seeing that Chu Ba had caught up with him, he stopped and peed on the upper hand. When the wind blows, the urine spilled is on Bai Ji's face and body.
When the overlord of Chu saw it, he was funny and angry: "This man is really stupid, peeing against the wind. He doesn't know if he spilled it on himself. What's the use of killing him? If you defile your sword in vain and ruin your reputation, you'd better not kill it! "
Didn't kill Han Xin, turned around and left. Back at the camp, Fan Zeng asked him if he had killed Han Xin. The overlord of Chu told him what he had seen and said, "Han Xin is a fool. What's the use of killing him? "
Fan Zeng said, "You have been cheated. This is a trick used by Han Xin. Go after him and kill him, so as to avoid future trouble. "
Chu Bawang is a rough man. Hearing this, he led the troops to pursue. When I got closer, I saw Han Xin kneeling in front of a grave with his head down, his feet up and his hat in front of it. The overlord took Han Xin's hat with his sword. It's really interesting. It turns out that Han Xin has long hair and is foaming at the mouth. "Oh, this person is an epileptic. He won't be killed. If he is killed, it will make everyone laugh! " Think about it, the overlord of Chu still didn't kill him, so he turned back to camp.
Fan Zeng saw the overlord come back and asked him if he had killed Han Xin. The bully told Fan Zeng about Han Xin's stupidity.
Hearing this, Fan Zeng stamped his foot: "You have been cheated again. This is a trick used by Han Xin. If this person is not removed, if the hegemony is unsuccessful, you will die in his hands! "
The king of Chu does not believe it. Fan Zeng said, "Did Han Xin commit any epilepsy at this time?"
This question, the overlord of Chu understood, and quickly caught up with the military forces. Han Xin knew that the overlord Chu wouldn't let him go, and he didn't catch his breath. He kept running until he reached the fork in the road, and he was worried. Where did he go? Run east and go straight to Liu Bang's barracks. The overlord will definitely chase after him, but he still can't escape. He thought about it, thought of a diversion, took off a shoe, threw it at the east intersection and turned around and ran to the west road.
The overlord Chu led the troops to the fork in the road, saw a shoe at the east intersection, and asked Han Xin to run east. Whether he likes it or not, he has been chasing it at the east intersection.
Han Xi chased, Chu Bawang chased. Which one can catch up with Han Xin? When the overlord of Chu ran back to the camp in vain, Han Xin had gone to Liu Bang.
