The story about persistence and success 1 Andersen's father was a shoemaker when he was very young, and he died, leaving him and his mother to live a poor life.
One day, he and a group of children were invited to the palace to meet the prince and asked for a reward. He sang hopefully and recited the script, hoping that his performance would be appreciated by the prince.
After the performance, the prince asked him kindly, What can I do for you?
Andersen said confidently:? I want to write a play and perform it at the Royal Theatre. ?
The prince looked at the clumsy boy, with a clown-like nose and a pair of melancholy eyes from head to toe, and said to him, reciting plays is one thing, and writing plays is another. I advise you to learn a useful craft! ?
However, Andersen, who had a dream, did not go home to learn the craft of life, but broke his piggy bank, bid farewell to his mother and went to Copenhagen to pursue his dream. He wandered around Copenhagen, knocking on the doors of all Copenhagen nobles, and no one paid attention to him. He never thought of retreating. He has been writing epics and love novels, which failed to attract people's attention. Although Joe is sad, he still insists on writing.
1825, Andersen wrote several fairy tales at random, which unexpectedly caused children to scramble to read them. Many readers are eager for the publication of his new book. This year, he was 30 years old.
Until the cold days, many fairy tales written by Andersen, such as The King's New Clothes and The Ugly Duckling, accompanied many children in the world to grow up healthily.
People as smart as you, no matter how hard the environment is, don't bow to it, just stick to it. Although the sand is barren and dry, the green cactus still straightens its body and allows itself to blossom colorful flowers.

One day, they drove the sheep to a hillside, and a group of geese flew over their heads singing and soon disappeared in the distance. The shepherd's youngest son asked his father, Where are the geese going? Said the shepherd. They are going to a warm place where they will settle down and spend the cold winter. ? The eldest son blinked and said enviously. If only I could fly like a wild goose. ? The youngest son also said:? If only I could be a flying geese! ?
The shepherd was silent for a while, and then said to his two sons. You can fly if you want. ?
The two sons tried, but neither could fly. They looked at their father suspiciously, and the shepherd said, let me show you. ? So he opened his arms, but he couldn't fly. However, the shepherd said firmly, I can't fly because I am old and you are young. As long as you keep working hard, you will fly and go where you want to go in the future. ?
The two sons firmly remember their father's words and have been working hard. When they grow up, their brother is 36 years old and their brother is 32 years old. They really flew because they invented the plane. These two men are the Wright brothers in America.
