Examples of persistence and success 1:
Napoleon pursued success in everything he did when he was a child, and he developed a habit over time.
It always happens between little boys? War? . Once, Napoleon in the fourth grade and a boy two years older than him? Narrow roads? Yes Napoleon is short, how can he be the opponent of a big boy? Soon, he was beaten into a panda eye by the big boy. Coincidentally, Napoleon went to class as soon as the bell rang. After class, he ran to find that boy again. This time it was even worse. His mouth became? Weenie. Napoleon did not stop there. He went to see that boy after class every time until he got tired of him.
? Why do you keep coming to me? You can't beat me! ? The boy finally asked Napoleon.
Napoleon, like a proud rooster, said confidently: You have offended me, and you must apologize to me! Or I'll keep fighting you! Until you say sorry! ?
Maybe the big boy was shocked by Napoleon's words, or maybe he was tired of fighting such a weak opponent as Napoleon. He hesitated for a long time and finally told Napoleon? Excuse me. Three words.
Napoleon was badly beaten, but he heard? Excuse me. After three sentences, I left contentedly.
No matter what Napoleon did, he tried his best to win the final victory. In the end, his great ambition was successfully realized. When he has his own empire, he must not know how happy he is!
Example 2 of persistent success:
Fan Zhongyan, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, lost his father at an early age. In order to keep herself and her son alive, the mother had to remarry to Zhujiajian Island's home in Changshan.
When Fan Zhongyan grew up as a teenager, he realized that this father was not his own. Xiao Zhongyan felt that he was a seven-foot man and it was shameful to change someone else's surname. What did he say to restore his original work? Fan? Surname, so there was a contradiction with health, came out from home and lived in a monk's room in Liquan Temple Hill. He has been studying hard day and night and persevering.
Life in the temple is very hard. Fan Zhongyan, who is only a teenager, is growing up and eating a lot. Every time he eats, he picks up the bowl and only peels off a few mouthfuls. Before the next meal, he is so hungry that he can't concentrate on reading. Thinking about what we should do, he came up with a way to cook a pot of porridge every morning. When the porridge cools and condenses into porridge, he cuts it with a knife, cuts it into four pieces, and eats two pieces for breakfast and dinner. As for the next meal, it's even simpler. Just cut some pickles.
During his stay in Liquan Temple, Fan Zhongyan read a lot of books, learned a lot of truth and learned a lot. In order to broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge, he traveled thousands of miles to that time three years later? Du Nan? Ying Tianfu (now Shangqiu, Henan Province) entered the famous academy at that time and worshipped the famous scholar Wei as a teacher. At first, he had gruel to eat every morning and evening, just like when he was in Liquan Temple. Later, even gruel could not be supplied.
Whenever the sun goes down, he just eats something casually, which is a day's meal. However, he has never been distracted by the problem of eating, but he is working harder and harder in his studies. He made a strict study plan for himself, and he didn't sleep until he finished it every day. On a cold winter night, whenever he feels tired from studying, he washes his face with cold water to boost his spirits. Although the learning environment is so hard, Fan Zhongyan has never complained about suffering.
It is with such a firm belief that Fan Zhongyan studied hard every day and became a famous politician, strategist and writer in the mid-Northern Song Dynasty.
Persist in successful example 3:
During the day, she is a maid. Bloated figure, shabby clothes, unkempt hair, rough hands, black mud under nails. She did all kinds of chores, such as sweeping the floor, washing pots and cleaning rooms. Her employer's wife despised and mocked her, and the landlady screamed for rent and abuse. Her life was overwhelmed by heavy work.
But whenever night falls, she will lie prone on the floor in her shabby little room, under the dim oil lamp, carefully draw a wonderful picture and hum happy songs. This is the happiest time of her day. Drawing makes her forget the tiredness and tiredness of the day and the sarcasm and ridicule around her.
She has no easel, no desk, no canvas, and even the paint for painting is on credit. Even, she often makes her own pigments: mud at the bottom of the river, weeds on the roadside, candle grease in the church, animal blood, bread crumbs and so on. Are they all hers? Exclusive formula? . She used her finger as a pen and drew her own picture on a small board.
In a small town in France called Sanris, her life has gone through 50 years. She has never been married, but she has only been in a failed relationship once. She is lonely and seldom communicates with others. No one knows that she is a painter. People only know that she is a domestic servant of Mrs. dufour's family.
One day, a guest named Wood came to Mrs. dufour's house. Wood is a famous German art critic and collector. He is a close friend of Picasso and Braque. At Mrs. dufour's dinner party, Wood came across a small board with apples on it and threw it in the corner: it stood quietly in the corner, but its rich colors gave it vitality. Wood's eyes lit up. In his view, the painting was not only colorful and full, but also dizzy and even suffocating.
Wood was very surprised and asked the author's name in a hurry. Mrs. dufour said contemptuously, It was only painted by a maid named Sahefen. She has never studied painting. ? In the eyes of everyone's surprise, Wood immediately bought the painting. He found Sahefen and told her that she was a talented female painter, but she should continue to practice more. He can support her and hopes to hold a personal exhibition for her in Paris in the near future.
However, fate played a cruel joke on Sahfen. German troops entered France and World War I broke out. Wood was forced to flee France. When he left, he told Sahfen that he hoped she would continue painting. Sahfen's life is in an awkward position again. Despite the hardships of life and the war outside the window, Sahfen seems to have forgotten everything and insisted on painting every day. She believes in St. Madeleine's words: stick to your own works and you will find God in the pot. ?
13 years have passed. 1927 One day, Wood came to the French town of Sunris again. At this time, an art exhibition is being held in the town. At the exhibition, he saw it again? Sahfen? The name of. He praised Sahfen as an indomitable great painter and promised to continue to prepare for Sahfen's Paris exhibition.
Sahfen said: You know what, sir? Stick to your own works and you will find God in the pot. When I am sad, I will go to the wild, touch the trees, talk to flowers, birds and insects, and everything will be fine. ?
With the support of Wood, Sahfen's life has improved obviously. She bought shiny silverware for the first time and had a spacious studio for the first time. She even decorated the room carefully and made herself the most expensive gauze skirt as the opening of the exhibition.
However, fate once again played a trick on Sahfen. On the eve of the exhibition, an unprecedented global economic crisis broke out The pre-arranged Paris art exhibition can only be discussed again because the co-organizers temporarily cancel it. Sad and disappointed, Sahfen returned to the shabby hut. In the dim candlelight, she took a brush and painted quickly and crazily until she was finally sent to a mental hospital by her neighbor.
1942, Sahefen died alone in a nursing home. 1945, with the efforts and dedication of Wood, Sahefen's works were finally exhibited in Paris and all over the world, and Sahefen became France in one fell swoop? Modern primitive painting school? (also known as? Sketch school? ) is a famous painter.
Sahfen was lonely, unknown and poor all his life. But she's happy. In poverty, painting has always been her spiritual pillar, and she has realized her unique value in love and persistence. Everyone comes to this world with his own unique mission and value. Everyone has a god in his pot, because everyone is unique.
Example 4: Success requires persistence:
He grew up in Dublin, Ireland. He was born with perfect limbs, but he was severely paralyzed and unable to move. He suffers from severe cerebral palsy, his pronunciation is inaccurate, and only his left foot can move. At the age of seven, he was in a wheelchair and went to the park with his family. Several children are taking part in a painting competition. He stared at them with envious eyes. UH huh? Crying quietly and refusing to leave. A child seemed to understand what he meant and laughed loudly. I can't even speak clearly, and I'm afraid I can't draw anything good! Leave us alone! ?
He left sadly and went home. In order to make his sister understand what he meant, he grabbed a piece of chalk from her with his left foot and tried to draw and draw, but he couldn't draw well. My sister accompanied him and encouraged him to say: I believe you can draw very well. God only disarmed you temporarily so that you can't paint like other children. But if you are willing to spend time practicing, you can draw wonderful pictures. If you dare to dream, you can do anything. ?
With the growth of his age, he has been studying hard to draw and write with his left foot. His family firmly believes that his intelligence is not impaired, but he can't communicate with others. The family made up their minds to let him live a normal life as much as possible, so they dragged him around in a cart to let him know more about the outside world. His left foot became more and more flexible, and he actually learned to swim. At home, he always concentrates on painting and begins to learn to write.
His toes are often worn out, but he keeps practicing with pain; Many of his manuscripts were rejected, but he didn't lose heart. He has experienced failures again and again, but his enthusiasm remains the same. He told himself to stick to it for another day, week, month and year. Slowly, he found himself with great enthusiasm again. When his paintings won prizes in the whole city and his first novel My Left Foot was revised and published many times, he felt that his eyes were opened. Life is full of possibilities, and he believes there will be a better day ahead.
He tasted the joy of writing and painting, and he never stopped. Although he struggles every time he draws a picture and writes an article, his feet are bruised and he often receives rejection, but he never gives up. He wants to seize every opportunity.
His mother sent him to Johns Hopkins Hospital with the help of a doctor, and he got good treatment. He especially respected this great doctor, who later not only founded a hospital for him and other cerebral palsy patients, but also introduced him to the literary world. He was encouraged by several famous Irish writers to write. At the age of 27, he made great efforts to write the novel "Those Low-tide Days".
What's exciting is that once published, the novel topped the list of best-selling novels and was adapted into a movie by Daniel? Dai? Starring Louis and Dai? Louis also won the Oscar for Best Actor for this film. He later published six more books. In addition, he is an active painter.
His name is Christie? Brown, who heard that he could only move with his left foot and make a few noises, became a famous writer, poet and painter, which surprised many people. Christie wrote in her diary: As my sister once taught me, nothing is impossible as long as I work hard! Be brave and firm in the storm; In the dark, grit your teeth and move forward; Facing the desert, your heart should be full of oases. As long as you go through the pain like a cicada and never give up, you will surely fly high! Children in wheelchairs should try everything! ?
