Just when he was frustrated and sad, one of his friends advised him, "Everything has two sides. You might as well look at it from another angle, maybe you can find something useful from your mistakes. " So, he found that the water absorption performance of this batch of paper is quite good, and it can absorb the water on household appliances. Then, he cut the paper into small pieces, named it "absorbent paper" and sold it in the market, which was very popular. Later, he applied for a patent and made a fortune specializing in the production of absorbent paper. One day, a farmer's donkey accidentally fell into a dry well. The farmer racked his brains to save the donkey. A few hours later, the donkey was still wailing in the well. Finally, the farmer decided to give up. He thinks the donkey is too old to save it, but the well must be filled anyway. So the farmer asked his neighbors for help and buried the donkey in the well together to avoid the donkey's pain.
With a shovel in hand, everyone began to shovel dirt into the well. When the donkey realized his situation, it began to cry sadly. But surprisingly, it was quiet for a while. Everyone looked at the bottom of the well curiously, and what appeared in front of them surprised them:
When the shoveled soil fell on the donkey's back, it shook off the soil and stood on the mound.
In this way, the donkey rose to the wellhead step by step, and then ran away quickly in everyone's surprise. Barene was disabled by illness when she was a child, and her mother felt like a knife, but she still endured grief. She thinks that what children need most now is encouragement and help, not mother's tears. Mother came to Barone's sickbed, took his hand and said, "Son, mother believes that you are an ambitious person. I hope you can bravely walk on the road of life with your own legs! Good Barene, can you promise your mother? "
Mother's words hit Barene's heart like a hammer. He threw himself into his mother's arms and burst into tears.
Since then, whenever my mother is free, she will practice walking and doing gymnastics for Barene, and she is often so tired that she sweats. Once my mother caught a bad cold. She felt that a mother should not only teach by example, but also set an example. Despite her high fever, she got out of bed as planned to help Barene practice walking. Soybean-like sweat dripped from her mother's face. She wiped with a dry towel, gritted her teeth, and helped Barene finish the exercise plan for the day.
Physical exercise makes up for the inconvenience caused by disability to Barene. His mother's example deeply educated Barone, and he finally withstood the severe blow of fate. He studies hard and his academic performance has always been among the best in his class. Finally, he was admitted to the Medical College of Vienna University with excellent results. After graduating from college, Barene devoted all her energy to the research of otology. Finally, I finally got on the podium of the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. When Zeeman was a child, his consciousness of reading was not high, and his grades were always average. Zeeman's mother was very anxious to see her son's performance.
One day, she called her son to her side, looked him in the eye and said excitedly, "Son, I knew you were a mediocre and incompetent person, and you shouldn't have struggled in the waves at the beginning ..." Then, she recalled the past to the silent Zeeman: when Zeeman was about to be born, her hometown was suddenly hit by a flood, and she escaped and boarded a boat. Zeeman was born here.
After listening to her mother's memories, Zeeman realized that her mother had experienced difficulties and was deeply shocked. She secretly vowed to study hard and never let her down. Hard work pays off, and he finally won the appreciation of the school with excellent results and was hired as a teaching assistant by the school. When he went to visit his mother with great joy, her mother was seriously ill and dying. Before she died, she looked at Zeeman with affectionate eyes and her lips trembled with difficulty. "Struggle, earn and plunge!" He died suddenly after leaving this last sentence.
Struggle is struggle. Struggle, struggle again, not satisfied with the status quo, always struggle. Zeeman took his mother's words to heart. He has been hanging a small golden photo frame embedded with his mother's portrait on his chest. When encountering difficulties and setbacks, he stared at his mother's portrait and recalled her inculcation to increase his courage to overcome difficulties. Zeeman struggles on the road of science, and struggles again! Finally, he reached the peak that ordinary people can't reach. 1902, Zeeman won the Nobel Prize in Physics. One day, while Mrs. Smith was sitting in the doctor's waiting room, a little boy led by his mother went to the clinic and sat in the chair next to her. The little boy caught Mrs Smith's attention because he wore an eye patch on one eye. To Mrs Smith's surprise, the little boy didn't seem to be affected by losing an eye. To Mrs Smith's surprise, it was the little boy who cured her of her psychological disorder.
There were too many patients in the clinic that day, and it would take Mrs. Smith a long time to get her turn. Taking this opportunity, she chatted with the little boy's mother, while the little boy played with his toy soldier on the floor alone and looked up at his mother from time to time.
Finally, Mrs. Smith found an opportunity to ask the little boy what happened to his eyes. The little boy thought for a long time, then looked up, uncovered the blindfold and replied, "My eyes are nothing! I am a pirate! " With that, he lowered his head and continued to play his game.
Mrs Smith came to the clinic because one of her legs was injured in a car accident and was amputated below the knee. She is waiting for the doctor to check whether her wound has healed so that she can put on a prosthesis. Amputation was a great blow to her. She tried to summon up courage and face the reality bravely, but she still felt that she was disabled. Although intellectually, she knew that this amputation would not cause great obstacles to her later life, emotionally, she could never overcome this psychological obstacle. The doctor advised her to try imaginative therapy. She did the same, but she couldn't imagine an emotionally acceptable lasting image. In her mind, what she sees is always a disabled self.
However, at this moment, the little boy's sentence "I am a pirate" changed her life. Suddenly, she felt very excited. She seemed to see herself dressed as a pirate, standing majestically at the bow of a pirate ship: her hands behind her back, her legs spread apart-one of them was a wooden leg, her head held high and she was baptized by the storm with a smile.
At that moment, the image of the disabled in her mind disappeared without a trace, and she regained her courage. Then, she turned around and looked gratefully at the little boy in front of her-he was still absorbed in playing with his toy soldier.
A few minutes later, the nurse called Mrs. Smith's name. When she stood up on crutches, the little boy saw her amputated leg. "ah! "Lady," he cried in surprise, "what happened to your leg?" Hearing her son's question, the little boy's mother felt embarrassed.
However, Mrs. Smith looked up at the little boy and smiled and replied, "Nothing, I'm a pirate, too!" " "Lloyd's Insurance Company of England once bought a boat from the auction market. The ship was launched on 1894, encountered icebergs 138 times in the Atlantic Ocean, hit rocks 1 16 times, caught fire 13 times, and the mast was broken by the storm 207 times. However, it never sank.
Lloyd's Insurance Company finally decided to buy from the Netherlands and donate it to the country based on its incredible experience and considerable premium income. In 20 13, the ship docked at the national ship museum in Salem, England.
However, it was a lawyer who came here for sightseeing that made this ship famous in the world. At that time, he had just lost a lawsuit and his client committed suicide not long ago. Although this is not the first time that he failed in his defense or committed suicide, he always feels guilty whenever such a thing happens. He doesn't know how to comfort these people who have suffered misfortune in business.
When he saw the ship in the Salem Ship Museum, he suddenly had an idea, why not let them visit the ship? So, he copied the history of the ship and hung it in his law office together with the photo of the ship. Whenever a business client comes to him for defense, he doesn't care whether he wins or loses, and suggests that they go to see the boat. It lets us know that no ship can sail at sea without injury.
