Chapter 1: Success is not far away from us.
Rockefeller, the world-famous American oil giant, turned out to be just a small employee of an oil company. Moreover, his job is the lowest, most mechanical and least creative inspection and confirmation of whether the fuel tank cover is welded automatically.
He watches this kind of homework thousands of times every day, and his eyes are almost cocoon. It's really boring
Well, if someone else does this job, they will either jump ship immediately or die of old age by the machine forever. Cautious Rockefeller became a millionaire because of this work.
Once, he suddenly found that every time the fuel tank turned, 39 drops of flux fell, and the welding work was over.
Since then, he has been thinking: can the flux be less? If we can reduce the flow by one or two drops, can we save some costs?
He began to observe and study this problem for a long time, which was considered boring at that time.
Soon after, he developed "35-drop welder", "36-drop welder" and "37-drop welder". However, the continuous tests were all accidental oil leakage after welding, and they were unsuccessful. People advised him not to eat and have nothing to do. If he is idle, he might as well do it after work. However, Rockefeller did not flinch because of this, and developed the "38-drop welding machine". After the trial, it was unexpectedly successful. Soon after, he applied for a patent and found someone to invest in the production of this new energy-saving machine.
Rockefeller only saved a drop of flux, but "one drop" brought the company hundreds of millions of dollars in profits every year. He eventually became a famous American oil giant.
Chapter two: Zeng Guofan reads short stories.
No one can succeed by talent alone. God gave talent, and diligence turned talent into genius.
Zeng Guofan is one of the most influential figures in the history of China, but his talent was not high since he was a child. One day when I was studying at home, I repeated an article many times and was still reading it aloud because he hadn't memorized it yet. At this time, a thief came to his house and lurked under his eaves, hoping to get some benefits after the scholar went to bed. But wait and wait, just don't see him sleeping, or read the article over and over again. The thief was furious and jumped out and said, "What books do you read at this level?" Then recite the article and leave!
The thief is very clever, at least smarter than Mr. Zeng, but he can only be a thief, and Mr. Zeng has become the person admired by all presidents: "the richest man in modern times."
"Diligence is a good training, and one point is hard work." The thief has a good memory. He was brave enough to recite the article after listening to it several times. He can jump out of "great anger" when he sees others not sleeping. Teach Ceng Laoshi a lesson, so we have to endorse and leave. But unfortunately, the name is unknown, and Mr. Zeng later used a lot of talents. It is said that the thief and Mr. Zeng have known each other for a short time and can be used for one or two things. Unfortunately, his talent was not coupled with diligence, and he became ignorant.
Chapter 3: Being strong because of hardships; Because you are strong, you will succeed in the end-Zhou Yang, a short track speed skater
On the morning of February 25th 1 1, Jilin Sports Management Center was very lively. Relevant leaders, spontaneous citizens, many journalists and Zhou Yang's parents witnessed another miracle of Changchun girl Zhou Yang: together with Wang Meng, Sun and Zhang Hui, she broke the world record and won the championship in the women's 3000-meter relay final of short track speed skating in the Winter Olympics with a score of 4: 06.610.

I hope to have a strong girl with good skates.
"Dabao is not easy. She created a miracle today! " Father Zhou Jiwen called his daughter's birth name, and his daughter's excellent performance on the court also excited him. No one knows his daughter's hardships better than he does.
Zhou Jiwen, a native of Jiutai, Jilin Province, accidentally broke his leg at work in Changchun from 65438 to 0986. It is reported that Wang Shuying, suffering from polio, got married on 1990. Zhou Jiwen didn't have a job, Wang Shuying's work unit was in crisis, and her income was meager, but her daughter Zhou Yang was born in this difficult small family at this time. Wang Shuying, born in the Year of the Sheep, named her daughter Zhou Yang, and the couple pinned their new hopes on Zhou Yang. However, due to the dissolution of Wang Shuying's unit, even Zhou Xiaoyang's monthly kindergarten tuition fee could not be paid on time. Both husband and wife are disabled in both legs and have limited ways to earn money. In desperation, Zhou Jiwen went to learn to be a chef, and Wang Shuying processed and sold cooked food at home, which temporarily solved the tuition problem of Xiao Zhouyang Kindergarten.
Although both husband and wife are disabled, Zhou Xiaoyang's performance in kindergarten makes them very happy. Every time her daughter takes part in a running race, she comes first. This situation continued until the second grade of primary school. Zhou Xiaoyang's "first" specialty was discovered by Ye Qiaobo coach Cui Shunzi. Soon, 60-year-old Cui officially accepted Zhou Xiaoyang as a student and learned speed skating. However, the training fee of several hundred yuan per month stumped the family. In order to ensure that their daughter has enough training time, the couple sell ice cream in a homemade "refrigerator" after work to increase their income.
My daughter is young and has to pick up and drop off every training. The training venue is limited, and the children who participate in the training can only "schedule", sometimes late at night, sometimes at three or four in the morning. In order to save money, the couple are reluctant to buy watches. Catch up with the early morning training class, the couple don't know how many times they have to "force" to get up early at night to see the time. "The child has a gift for skating. No matter how difficult it is at home, she has to slip. "
Because it is too difficult to buy good skates at home, he basically wears other people's old shoes. Because it doesn't fit, Zhou Xiaoyang often has blisters on his feet. It is in this family dilemma that Zhou Yang is increasing day by day. 200 1, Zhou Xiaoyang won the first place in the national winter competition in Shenyang. In July 2004, she went to Harbin to participate in the national competition on behalf of Changchun. In this competition, what she wants most is to have a pair of good skates.
The coach wants to inspire her, saying that as long as you get the first place in the exam, the teacher will buy you a pair of good shoes. As a result, Zhou Yang tried his best to win the championship in the competition. Holding the brand-name sports shoes that the teacher spent more than 800 yuan to buy, Zhou Xiaoyang bowed his head and gave the coach a deep bow. Looking at the stubborn little girl's insistence on skating, the coach shed tears on the spot: "Good boy, you are really good. If you can rush out in the future, rush to the national team and rush to the world arena, you can have any teacher you want! " Zhou Xiaoyang solemnly said to the coach, "Teacher, don't worry, I will rush out as you say, for the sake of the teacher and my parents." They have paid too much for me, and I can't let you work hard in vain! "
Olympic champion who makes parents live better.
In this way, the little girl entered the national team with excellent sports results in 2007 in a poor family environment with her desire for success and tenacity. From then on, Zhou Yang began to emerge in the short track speed skating competition: Changchun Station of the National Short Track Speed Skating League in 2006-2007 won the women's 1000 meter championship; 2007 Changchun Asian Winter Games women's short track speed skating 3000m relay gold medal; Member of the champion of women's 3000m relay race in Harbin Station of 2008 ISU Short Track Speed Skating World Cup; The United States won the women's1500m race, and rearranged the world record of the event with 2 points17seconds 162. Inspirational Life In February 2009, Zhou Yang successfully won the women's1500m gold medal on the first day of the 24th winter universiade Short Track Speed Skating Competition, which was the first gold medal in the short track competition of the Universiade and the first gold medal won by the China delegation. This little girl was praised as "Typhoon Week" by domestic and foreign media, and the fierce style of Zhou Yang's competition once again attracted the world's attention to China's speed skating.
On February 2 1 day, 1 1: 56, Zhou Yang created the miracle of the China delegation in the Winter Olympics. In the 1500m short track speed skating competition in which only one China participated, she was in the second lane, and three Korean players were in the first, fourth and seventh lanes respectively, so that she was double-teamed. Under such pressure, Zhou Yang broke out with great physical strength and sprint, pushing others further and further.
What moved countless netizens and hundreds of millions of TV viewers in China was her simple speech "It can make my parents live a better life". This "post-90s" girl has become the most beautiful person in the eyes of hundreds of millions of netizens.
Four days later, in the women's 3000m relay final of short track speed skating in the Winter Olympics, Zhou Yang and his teammates broke the world record again and won the championship.
Zhou Yang became the youngest Winter Olympics champion in China. Regarding Zhou Yang's success today, Zhou Jiwen said that Zhou Yang was never afraid to mention the hardships of his training and the difficulties at home in front of others. Zhou Yang said that without her past, there can be no bright future.
Zhou Yang, a girl of 18, is strong because of suffering; Because it is strong, it will succeed in the end.
