Introduction: Life requires positive energy and perseverance to pursue unremittingly and never give up. Below are examples of success through hard work, welcome to read. An example of success through hard work? Rockefeller
The world-famous American oil giant Rockefeller was originally just a clerk in an oil company. Moreover, the work he did was the lowest, most mechanical, and least creative, inspecting and confirming whether the oil tank cover was automatically welded.
He had to watch this kind of homework thousands of times every day, until his eyes almost grew calluses. It was so boring.
That’s okay. If this job is done by someone else, he or she will quickly change jobs, or he or she may end up dying next to the machine. The careful Rockefeller became a rich man because of this work.
On one occasion, he suddenly discovered that every time the oil tank was rotated, 39 drops of welding fluid dropped, and the welding work was over.
Since then, he has been thinking: Can we use less solder? If we can reduce the solder by one or two drops, can we save some costs?
He began to think about it. This problem, which was considered boring at the time, has been subject to long-term observation and research.
Soon after, he developed the 35-drop welding machine, the 36-drop welding machine, and the 37-drop welding machine. However, after successive trials, oil leakage occasionally occurred after welding, and no success was achieved. People advised him not to have nothing to do but to work part-time after get off work. However, Rockefeller did not back down and developed the "38-drop welding machine". After trying it out, it worked unexpectedly. Soon after, he applied for a patent and found someone to invest in the production of this new energy-saving machine.
What Rockefeller saved was just a drop of solder, but that drop brought the company hundreds of millions of dollars in annual profits. This also helped him eventually become a famous American oil giant. The second example of success through hard work? Andersen
When Andersen was very young, his father, a shoemaker, passed away, leaving him and his mother to live in poverty.
One day, he and a group of children were invited to the palace to meet the prince and ask for rewards. He sang and recited the script with great hope that his performance would win the prince's approval.
After the performance, the prince asked him kindly: Is there anything you need my help with?
Andersen said confidently: I want to write a play and perform it at the Royal Theater show. ?
The prince looked at the clumsy boy with a big nose like a clown and a pair of melancholy eyes from head to toe, and said to him: "Reciting a script is one thing, writing a script is another." Anyway, I advise you to learn a useful craft!?
But when Andersen, who had a dream, not only did not learn a craft to make a living, he broke his piggy bank and asked for help. Mom said goodbye and went to Copenhagen to pursue his dream. He wandered around Copenhagen and knocked on the doors of all Copenhagen noble houses. No one paid attention to him, and he never thought of retreating. He had been writing epics and love novels, but failed to attract people's attention. Although Qiao was sad, he still persisted in writing.
In 1825, several fairy tales written by Andersen at random unexpectedly aroused children's rush to read, and many readers were eager for his new works to be published. This year, he was 30 years old.
Until the cold days, "The King's New Clothes", "The Ugly Duckling" and many other fairy tales written by Andersen have accompanied the healthy growth of many children around the world.
For those who are as smart as you, no matter what the circumstances are or the hardships, do not bow to them, but persevere. Although the sandy ground is barren and dry, the green cacti still stand upright and bloom colorful flowers. The third example of success through struggle? Charles Schulz
Charles Schulz, the creator of Snoopy, is a great American cartoonist. Snoopy is the puppy of Charlie Brown, the main character in Schulz's comics. His image has been made into a variety of toys and is one of the most popular cartoon characters.
There was a little boy. Almost everyone who knew him thought he was a mentally retarded student. Even in the eighth grade of middle school, he still showed no improvement in his main subjects: he failed algebra and English. , he got a zero in physics! The little boy managed to get into the school golf team, but he lost the most important golf match of the school year. The little boy felt miserable.
Not only did his classmates dislike him, but they also seemed to have never noticed him. Even meeting him in the hall and saying "hello" to him were extremely rare. Fortunately, apart from these frustrations, the little boy still had something to console himself with: his passion for drawing. Even though all the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook during middle school were rejected, the young boy still believed in his artistic talent. After he said goodbye to school, he boldly came to Disney Studios and submitted his paintings to them. I wish I could say here that people at the Disney Studios admired his work so much that they decided to hire him on the spot. But later, he was brutally rejected again.
After repeated setbacks, the little boy did not give up. He decided to use cartoons to describe his experiences? A loser and a person who achieved nothing in the eyes of everyone. This little boy's name was Charles Schulz. Later, his paintings of Snoopy became popular all over the world, thus becoming Snoopy's eternal father.
The vast majority of people are usually like Charles, having neither the opportunity nor the stage to show their talent. At this time, most people default to their own mediocrity. In fact, the same is true for Charles. The only difference between him and most people is that he spent 50 years holding on to his talent. Four examples of success through struggle? Verne
Verne is a world-famous science fiction writer, but few people know that Verne once suffered in order to publish his first work. What a setback! What is recorded here is an unforgettable experience of Verne:
One morning in the winter of 1863, Verne had just eaten breakfast and was about to go to the post office. Suddenly Hearing a knock on the door, he opened the door and saw that it was a postman.
The postman handed a bulging package of mail into Verne's hands. As soon as he saw such an email, Verne had a premonition of something bad. Since he sent his first science fiction novel "Five Weeks in a Balloon" to various publishing houses a few months ago, he has received such emails every time. This is the fourteenth time.
He opened it with some anxiety and read it, and wrote: Mr. Verne: After we have reviewed the manuscript, we do not intend to publish it and hereby return it. ?
Every time he saw such a rejection letter, Verne felt a twinge in his heart. This is the fifteenth time and it still hasn’t been adopted. Verne already knew very well how the bosses of those publishing houses looked down on unknown authors. He angrily swore never to write again.
He picked up the manuscripts and walked towards the fireplace, preparing to burn them. His wife rushed over, grabbed the manuscript and held it tightly in her arms. At this time, Verne was still angry and wanted to burn the manuscript at any cost.
His wife came up with wisdom in her haste and comforted her husband with words full of concern, "My dear, don't be discouraged, try again, maybe you can get better luck this time." ?After hearing these words, Verne slowly put down his hand that grabbed the manuscript. He was silent for a long time, then accepted his wife's advice, picked up this large package of manuscripts and went to the sixteenth publishing house to try his luck.
This time it did not fail. After reading the manuscript, the publishing house immediately decided to publish the book and signed a 20-year publishing contract with Verne. Without the guidance of his wife and the courage to "try again", we might not be able to read those popular science fiction stories written by Verne, and mankind would lose an extremely precious spiritual wealth. Five Examples of Success Through Struggle: Charles Schulz
?Since childhood, I have been a failure in many aspects, a complete mess. ?he said.
When he was in elementary school, he often failed in many subjects. In middle school, his physics score was even zero.
His performance in subjects such as Latin, algebra, and English was also terrible, and even physical education was not good. Although he was on the school's golf team, he lost cleanly in the only major tournament of the season. No one at school didn't think he was terrible. He was lonely and lonely, and throughout his formative years, he was never seen in social situations.
When he was young, he longed for love. When many of his peers began to fall in love, he could only be left alone in a daze. Once, he mustered up the courage to flirt with a girl, but then he found "fragments of love" in the wastebasket.
This is truly a hopeless loser. However, this hopeless loser in many aspects numbly clings to the one thing he has not failed at yet; growing up, he cares about one thing: painting.
He believes that he has extraordinary painting talent and is deeply proud of his works. However, his works have never been appreciated by anyone except himself. When he was in middle school, he submitted several cartoons to the editor of the graduation yearbook, but none of them were accepted. Despite the pain of being rejected many times, he remained stubborn and determined to become a professional cartoonist. When he graduated from high school, he wrote a letter of recommendation to the then Walt Disney Company.
The company asked him to send his comic works for review and stipulated the theme of the comics. Therefore, he invested a lot of energy and a lot of time and meticulously completed many cartoons. However, after the comic works were sent out, nothing happened, and he was not hired by Disney.
For him, life is only night. When he was desperate, he tried to use paint to describe his ill-fated life experience. He used the language of comics to tell about his obscure childhood and unbearable teenage years. He was a failing student with poor academic performance, a so-called artist whose manuscripts were rejected many times, and a loser who no one noticed. His paintings incorporate his years of persistent pursuit of painting and his unique experience of life.
The comic strip "Peanuts" was born and became popular around the world. From under his paintbrush came out a little boy named Charlie Brown. He was also a loser: his kite never flew, and he never played a good game of football. His friends always called him ?Wooden Head
His success was unexpected. His name is Charles Schulz, an internationally renowned cartoonist.
?I failed miserably in many aspects, and I only stabilized myself in painting. Schultz said, "The so-called success only requires you to be pretentious at a certain point, from beginning to end." ?
