Every celebrity who has achieved success will always have bitter setbacks and tribulations behind them. How much do you know? I have carefully collected and organized it for everyone. Let’s take a look.
Chapter 1: Crazy and then successful
For Werner Forsmann, a 25-year-old German country doctor, this was definitely an unreasonable and crazy move.
This afternoon, sitting in a quiet workroom, this young man who had just become an assistant physician was preparing to conduct experiments on his own body to realize the dream ideal in his heart.
The experiment began.
Forsman closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let his body relax infinitely. Then, he punctured the vein in the elbow of his left arm and slowly inserted a thin tube lubricated with sterile olive oil. When the tube was half a foot into the vein, about halfway up the shoulder and neck, Forsman stopped. He expected to feel a sting, or to faint from the pain. But the fact is that the bad situations he had imagined before did not happen.
This is a good sign. Forsman smiled, twisted the thin tube again, and slowly penetrated it.
This part should be the heart! With continuous twisting, the thin tube was inserted deeper and deeper, and finally reached the part he wanted. At that moment, even he was surprised: when the thin tube entered his fragile and sensitive heart, not only did he not feel any pain, but on the contrary, he "felt a touch of warmth like the sun."
This is incredible! This is enough to prove that the heart is not as untouchable as authoritative experts say, and is a "forbidden zone" that is strictly prohibited. It can also be operated on like other organs of the body. . After calming down his excitement for a while, Forsman did not stop the experiment. Instead, he ran out the door with his "test subject" and ran downstairs to a room equipped with an X-ray machine. He excitedly shouted to the doctor: "Hey. , quickly scan it for me, you will see the most beautiful picture in the world!"
Soon, the film came out. It was indeed a picture that shocked the world - with his love for life and persistent pursuit of dreams, Forsman successfully completed the first cardiac catheterization in medical history!
Unexpectedly, , Forsman's bold attempt brought him not honor and respect, but a storm of criticism and ridicule. The media called his experiment a "crazy move" and reported it at length. His immediate boss resolutely banned the experiment: "This is an individual case that only God knows what happened. You must Stop your crazy behavior, no, it is stupid, downright stupid!" His well-meaning colleagues warned him: because the experiments he conducted violated human ethics, if he continued to act nonsense, he would probably spend his life in prison.
This is science. Science requires dedication and has nothing to do with stupidity. Even if I go to jail, I will continue to do it. Facing the overwhelming cynicism, Forsman decided to conduct another experiment to prove that this was not a case of a strange combination of circumstances. His unrepentant behavior infected a young female nurse. The female nurse didn't want this excellent doctor to suffer any accidents, so she offered to be his "experiment". Without taking her advice, his experiment would have been difficult to carry out.
After much thought, Forsman agreed to the female nurse’s request. However, after tying the female nurse to the operating table, an accident happened - Forsman smiled at the immobile female nurse, then punctured the vein on his arm and skillfully inserted the thin tube...
This experiment was also a complete success. Forsman confidently declared that he had set clear goals and would work hard to optimize and improve cardiac diagnostic methods. Unexpectedly, the entire industry ignored his plan and even gave him the nickname "Madman", and his medical experiments were also called "clown shows." A madman cannot practice medicine. Soon, Forsman lost his job inexplicably and had to return to his original rural hospital.
During that time, Forsman was depressed. He thought of changing his career and no longer touch those cold metal instruments.
In frustration, he received a letter from the female nurse. The letter wrote: Werner Forsman, if you are the moon, please cherish the quiet night sky and don't get tired of it...
The female nurse's words deeply touched his heart. So Forsman chose to wait carefully. In the blink of an eye, 27 years later, Werner Forsman, who had long been forgotten by people, finally received an email from Stockholm, Sweden - he won the Nobel Prize in Medicine that year!
Chapter 2: Accidental Success
Hamway is a small pastry vendor in Spain. Amid the frantic immigration wave, he also came to the United States with a gold-mining mentality. But the United States is not as gold-filled as he imagined. There is not much difference between selling his pastries in Spain and selling them in the United States.
In the summer of 1904, Hamway knew that the World's Fair was about to be held in the United States, and he moved his pastry tools to Louisiana, where the exhibition would be held. Thankfully, he was allowed to sell his pancakes outside the venue.
His pizza business was really bad, but the business of the ice cream vendor next to him was very good. He sold a lot of ice cream in a while, and soon used the ice cream he brought to store it. The small plates are gone.
Seeing this, the broad-minded Hamway rolled his pancake into a cone and asked him to serve the ice cream.
Seeing that this method worked, the ice cream vendor ordered Hamway's pancakes, and a large amount of cone-shaped ice cream entered the hands of customers. But to Hamway's surprise, the cone-shaped ice cream was so well received by customers that it was named the real star of the World's Fair.
Since then, this cone-shaped ice cream has become popular in the market and gradually evolved into the current ice cream cone. Its invention is called "a stroke of genius". Some people assume that if the two shops were not close to each other, it is difficult to say whether we can eat ice cream cones today.
Among the now-famous foods, the invention of potato chips was also such a "magic touch." The American Indian Jinglum was the chef in the restaurant. One day, some French guests came. They thought the fried food he made was too thick and hard. Klum was very angry when he found out. He took a potato, cut it into very thin slices, and threw it into the pan. After it was cooked, it was served to the French guests' table. Unexpectedly, as soon as the guests ate, they shouted that it was delicious. From then on, this kind of potato chips became popular and eventually became a favorite food of many people.
Don’t ignore the accidents in your life, maybe they are the beginning of your success.
Chapter 3: How she became the "Queen of Games"
She is known as China's "Queen of Games" and "Yang Lan and Jin Yuxi of the IT industry". On January 23, 2010, after becoming famous, she resigned and founded Shanghai Yurong Network with her husband, opening up a new field in her career.

In order to prepare for the interview, Li Yu not only thoroughly researched the company, but also researched the boss of the company and even the boss's father. So when she went for the interview, she actually knew more about the company than the interviewer: including the company's financing background and what kind of person the boss's father was. If you are not a senior executive of a company or a CEO, usually an employee will not care about this aspect, but Li Yu's carefulness and seriousness deeply impressed the interviewer. The interviewer thought that she had worked hard for this job, and as a result, she received the offer notice two hours after the interview.
At the beginning of their employment, ***30 new employees participated in induction training.
While Li Yu fully understood the company's business, she also took the initiative to help the company optimize its processes. Through scientific data analysis, she led the development of an artificial intelligence system that automated all processes that required manual processing, which not only saved the company a high cost Amount of cost, but also obtained a U.S. national patent. After three months of training, she was quickly promoted and appointed as department manager. Li Yu once said: "Promotion is not decided by the boss. The decision-making power actually lies in your own hands. If you have proactively made a value contribution higher than your position, your superiors can only and will be happy to promote you. The company In the rapid development, there is an urgent need for employees to contribute more 'remaining bandwidth'. At this time, whoever can contribute more can go faster and farther."
Two years later, Li Yu. He took the initiative to change his career and served as a senior manager at the Boston headquarters of Fidelity Investments in the financial industry.

At this stage, one should be willing to contribute without asking for anything in return and accumulate experience, but one should also maintain stability while trying. Therefore, she is good at constantly adjusting herself. After working at Microsoft for 5 years, she entered Shanda Company in the interactive entertainment industry and served successively as Director of Shanda Business Development Center, Vice President of the Game Division, and Group Vice President.

On May 17, 2010, Li Yu came to Tsinghua University. When she shared the "secret" of her career success with young students, she said: "The difference between success and failure often lies in persistence." There is always a period of darkness before the dawn. Persist in the past and the next step will be the dawn. After graduating from college, students must choose an industry based on their personal characteristics, just like if there is a lake and a sea in front of them. If you choose the sea, you can choose a big ship, and you can sail on the vast sea. But once you decide on this ship, you must have a perseverance mentality, and you must hold on even if you encounter big waves. An industry and a position must be guarded by eight words: professional, dedicated, professional, and happy. These eight words are what I stick to today. It’s my magic weapon for success. I believe that as long as everyone remembers these 8 words and follows them after graduation, they will also become the magic weapon for everyone’s success.”
