He could not go to school, so he studied on his own. He loved learning very much, while selling newspapers and reading books and newspapers, seize the time to study and do experiments.

  When David Beckham, the famous English soccer player, was small, he wanted to be a cross-country running team runner. Beckham's family, however, was very supportive, and the whole family saved money to pay all his expenses.

  Soon after Beckham joined the team, an opportunity presented itself when the famous Essex trail running competition would kick off in four months. But unfortunately, by the time the news was known, the time for registration had already been missed. Nevertheless, the owner of the team was determined to take this opportunity to make the team's name known no matter what. Next, the owner bought many gifts and went to visit Mr. Huntley, the organizer of the race.

  As a result, the boss came back with gifts in his hands. But he still didn't give up and sent some of his best assistants to visit him again, but still to no avail.

  At the team's internal meeting, many runners said dejectedly, "Are we just going to watch and lose out on the Essex trail running competition?"

  At that moment, the young Beckham volunteered, "Let me try, I believe I can get the place." The boss looked at this milquetoast kid and said with a snort, "With you? Even I've been ruthlessly rejected for going, are you sure you can convince him?"

  Beckham patted his chest and said, "I dare to make a military order, but if I can get it successfully, I hope I can represent the team." Seeing Beckham so confident, the boss readily agreed to him.

  Taking the address given by the boss, Beckham successfully found Huntley's villa, only to be stopped by the nanny at the door. "Hello," Beckham said politely, holding out the team's business card, "please tell Mr. Huntley I'd like to talk to him about racing." A few minutes later, the babysitter came out and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but you've already been here a few times and there's no need to get in touch." Beckham still smiled and said, "That's okay, please tell Mr. Huntley that I'll be back tomorrow."

  The next evening, Beckham arrived early in front of Huntley's villa, choosing to knock on the door promptly at 8:00 p.m. He was still greeted by the nanny. Beckham smiled and said, "Please tell Mr. Huntley that I would like to talk to him about racing." The nanny couldn't bear to brush him off and went in to report, and a few moments later, she came out and said, "Son, you'd better go. The gentleman doesn't want to see you." Beckham said confidently, "I'll come back tomorrow."

  For the next three months, Beckham went every day, and on weekends, Beckham insisted on visiting twice a day, even though he did not see Mr. Huntley once.

  But Beckham still didn't give up, and that rainy evening he went once again. It was still the nanny who opened the door and said, "Son, I've counted with you, plus this time, you've been here a whole hundred times. Our husband is watching football, and he shouldn't see you." Upon learning that Huntley was also a die-hard fan, Seeksham's eyes lit up and he walked down the hall and said, "Mr. Huntley, I'm not going to talk to you about car racing today, let's talk about soccer." When the sound of the TV in Huntley's room was heard much weaker, Beckham began to talk about the present-day situation of English soccer and his own ambitions.

  After a while, the door opened and Huntley came out: "You are a man with deep insights into soccer, and for someone so persistent, I believe you have a bright future ahead of you. So, I would like to talk to you about the details of this tournament." The two men spent the next two hours in the study talking about all the details of Team Beckham's participation in the Essex Cross Country Running Competition.

  A month later, the Essex trail running competition took place as scheduled, and with an outstanding performance, Beckham won the Essex trail running competition. Years later, Beckham switched to soccer, and because of his perseverance, his soccer career also took off. He not only won the runner-up of the 1999 and 20xx World Football Awards, but also served as the captain of the England team.

  Every time he goes to meet with fans, many fans ask him the secret of success, Beckham always said: "I want to tell you is that there is no more powerful weapon in this world than persistence, I want to give you a saying, but also a summary of my life: one setback is a failure, a hundred setbacks is success. "

  There was a learned man who met God, and he asked God in anger: "I am a learned man, why don't you give me the chance to become famous?"

  God replied helplessly: "Although you are knowledgeable, you have only tried a little bit of everything, not deep enough, so what can you use to become famous?"

  After hearing that, the man began to practice piano hard, but later, although he played the piano well, but still not famous, inspirational short story: frustration is the ticket to success.

  He went back to God and asked, "God! I've mastered the piano, why don't you give me a chance to be famous?"

  God shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't give you a chance, but you can't catch a chance, inspirational "Inspirational Short Story: Frustration is the ticket to success". How can I be blamed for your lack of confidence the first time I secretly helped you go to a piano competition, and your lack of courage the second time?"

  After hearing God's words, the man practiced hard for several more years, built up his self-confidence and had the courage to go to the competition. He played very well, but due to the injustice of the judges, someone else took his chance to become famous.

  The man was disheartened and said to God, "God, I have tried my best this time, and it seems that God has destined that I will not be famous."

  God smiled and said to him, "Actually, you're almost there, you just need one last leap."

  "The last leap?" His eyes widened.

  God nodded and said, "You have been given the ticket to success - frustration. Now that you've got it, success becomes a gift from frustration to you."

  This time the man kept God's words in mind, and he did succeed.
