He started as a little-known actor on a Hong Kong film set.

As a result of a childhood in the troupe learned good kung fu, coupled with hard work, a few years down, he did the actor, martial arts guidance, gradually budding.

So he dreamed of being a movie star every day.

There's a movie. In the story, his hero is falling in love with three women at the same time. The heroine is played by a popular actress. The actress feels the same unknown play opposite demeaning, greatly dissatisfied, playing bone down on him.

One day, the actress unexpectedly in front of his face, said to the scriptwriter; "The man with the big nose and the small eyes, who would like him?"

That's not sarcasm. It's a personal attack.

Tears were in his eyes, but also had to put on a smile to bow to her, his heart was deeply hurt, feel a sense of inferiority. Indeed, his head is not tall, appearance is not handsome enough. Are you sure I can't? At that time, he almost thought about giving up his film career.

And one more time. He wants to find a warrior to write his script. Da Xia is a famous martial arts writer in Hong Kong.

Through the friend matchmaking bridge, very not easy, invited the warrior to eat. During dinner, to show sincerity, he frequently toasted, drunk as mud, ran to the bathroom almost spit out the intestines. For the script, eat this little suffering is not what, he washed his face back, respectfully sat there, waiting for the reply of the warrior.

Which know after being full of food and drink, the warrior just threw down a word, and the head also did not go back: "My script is written for handsome men."

Not the Kui is a warrior, sarcastic words can also say so subtle. If he could tell the future, he'd slap himself in the mouth.

This time, the warrior's sarcastic sarcasm, not only did not make him feel inferior but aroused his endless fight. He secretly vowed: the more you look down on me, the more I will work hard, must do to show you, must let you regret their words.

Then something happened to prove that he did, and he did it very successfully.

At that time, he was invited to an awards ceremony, where many of Hollywood's biggest stars were gathered. He was a little less confident, because he didn't see familiar friends, so he had to stand aside. To his surprise, the big movie stars lined up to shake hands with him. He suddenly realized: "Oh, so I am the big star."

That's how a man is born!

In 42 years, he worked hard, made more than 80 films, injured 29 times, but never lay down. He has 290 million fans around the world and is the only Chinese actor to have his finger and noseprints on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Maybe someone already knows who he is. It's Jackie Chan. A ringing name. Not many people in the world are entitled to laugh at him.

There is a person who only does two things in life. When you are successful, he is jealous of you when you are mediocre, and he laughs at you. What's a little ridiculous? It's nothing. It's a spur.

Any great person and career have a trivial beginning, maybe we are temporarily small, maybe we are temporarily naive, maybe we are temporarily humble. Just for a while, don't forget. Chi when high, or low do not forget to work hard. Believe in yourself at all times, because no one can get in the way of your success.
