No matter how heavy the storm is, I have to go on the road

In the face of difficulties, those who do not change their beliefs have finally achieved extraordinary success. Let's take a quiet look at how successful celebrities face difficulties.

J. Johnson

Dr. Johnson, whose father runs a large secondhand book stand. Once, when there was a show not far away, and everyone was going to the market, it was raining, his father wanted Dr. John to carry a portion of his books to the market place and sell them. His father called him three times to go, but Dr. Johnson, who was now absorbed in a large, thick book, pretended not to hear or take heed, and his father sighed, and went himself. By this time, Dr. Johnson was eighteen years old. Fifty years later, at eleven o 'clock one day, the local people saw this portly old man kneeling in the middle of the street, his hat under his arm, his crutches on one side, kneeling in the sun with his head bowed and tears welling down. By this time Dr. Johnson had become famous, and everyone came to see him. He said to them, On the same day fifty years ago, at the same time, I disobeyed my father, and now I am on my knees here to repent!

Charles Chaplin

Chaplin can write, direct and act. He is a rare all-round actor. Once, when he was in a filming meeting, a fly circled around him. At first he hit a few with his hand, missed, asked for a fly swatter. While the meeting was going on, he would hold the fly swatter and pose as if he were swatting a fly, looking at it fiercely. But I called three times, but I didn't get it. Then the fly was on the table in front of him. He slowly picked up the swatter and was about to deliver a fatal blow when he dropped his weapon and let the fly fly away. When the people sitting next to him saw it, they said: Why don't you kill it? The comedian shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's not the other one!"

Newton

Newton was very absorbed in his studies. Once, a friend invited him for dinner. During the dinner, he remembered that there was a bottle of good wine at home, so he told his friend to wait and go home to get the wine. The friend waited here and there, but when Newton did not come back, he had to go and see what was going on. Newton thought of an experiment on his way home. When he got home, he plunged into the laboratory and did the experiment. He forgot all about taking wine to entertain his friends. On another occasion, he was hungry and boiled an egg, but while thinking about the problem, he put the egg into the pot. When the problem was solved, he opened the pot and wanted to eat the egg, but what he picked up was his pocket watch.

Hawking

The scientist's learning ability seems not to be strong as a child, he learned to read very late, after school in the class has never been in the top 10 grades, and because of the homework is always "very untidy", teachers think he has been "hopeless", classmates also took him as the object of ridicule.

When Hawking was 12, two boys in his class bet him a bag of sweets that he would never succeed, and his classmates sarcastically nicknamed him "Einstein". (Famous quote www.lz13.cn) Who knows, more than 20 years later, then no outstanding boy really became a master of physics. What is the reason for this?

As he got older, he became interested in how things worked. He often took things apart to get to the bottom of them, but he was unable to put them back together. However, his parents did not punish him for this, and his father even gave him a "coach" in mathematics and physics.

At the age of 13 or 14, Hawking found himself very interested in studying physics. Although physics in middle school was too easy and boring, he thought it was the most basic science, promising to solve the problems of where people come from and why they are here. Hawking began his real scientific exploration.

Lincoln

The best example of staying the course is probably Abraham Lincoln. If you want to know who has given up, then you do not have to look for!

Born poor, Lincoln faced setbacks throughout his life, losing eight elections, two business failures, and even a nervous breakdown. There were times when he could have given up, but he didn't, and because he didn't, he became one of the greatest presidents in American history. Here is Lincoln's resume from before he entered the White House:

In 1833, he borrowed money from a friend to go into business, but he went bankrupt at the end of the year. It took him sixteen years to pay off his debts. In 1834, he ran again for state senator and won!

In 1835, when he was betrothed and about to get married, his last wife died and his heart was broken. In 1836, he had a complete mental breakdown and was confined to bed for six months.

Paul Getty

American oil tycoon Paul Getty was once a heavy smoker, a heavy smoker.

Once, when he was driving through France on holiday, it rained heavily. After driving for several hours, he spent the night in a hotel in a small town. After dinner, tired, he soon fell asleep.

At two o 'clock in the morning, Getty woke up. He wanted to smoke a cigarette. Turning on the light, he naturally reached for the cigarette case he had left on the table before going to bed, only to find it empty. He got out of bed and searched the pockets of his clothes in vain. He searched his luggage again, hoping to find a pack of cigarettes he had inadvertently left behind. By this time the restaurant and bar were closed, and his only hope of getting cigarettes was to get dressed and go out to the train station a few blocks away, for his car was parked in a garage some distance from the hotel.

The more there is no smoke, the greater the desire to smoke, people who are addicted to cigarettes probably have this experience. Getty had taken off his nightgown and dressed for the door, and was reaching for his raincoat when he stopped short. He asked himself: What am I doing?

Getty stood thinking that a so-called intellectual, and a reasonably successful businessman at that, a man who fancied himself sensible enough to give orders to others, would leave his hotel in the middle of the night and walk a few streets in the rain just to get a cigarette. What kind of habit is this? How powerful is this habit?

After a while, Getty made up her mind, crumpled up the empty cigarette case and threw it into the basket. She took off her clothes and went back to bed in her nightgown. With a sense of relief, even triumph, she fell asleep in a few minutes.

Paul Getty never picked up a cigarette again, and of course his career went from strength to strength, becoming one of the richest men in the world.

Franklin Roosevelt

A little boy thought he was almost the unluckiest child in the world, crippled by polio and with jagged, protruding teeth. He seldom played games with his classmates, and when the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always kept his head down and said nothing.

One normal spring day, the boy's father asked for some saplings from a neighbor's house. He wanted to plant them in front of the house. He told his children each to plant a tree. The father told the children to buy a favorite present to the one who planted the best sapling. The little boy also wanted his father's present.

But to see the brother and sister jumping to water the tree figure, somehow, sprouting a bleak idea: I hope the tree I planted died early. So after watering it once or twice, I didn't pay any attention to it.

A few days later, when the boy visited the tree again, he was surprised to find that it had not withered, but had grown several new leaves, which were greener and more alive than the tree his brother and sister had planted.

The father kept his promise, bought the boy his favorite present, and told him that from the trees he had planted, he would make an excellent botanist when he grew up.

From then on, the little boy gradually became optimistic.

One night, the little boy was lying in bed and could not sleep. Looking out the window at the bright moonlight, he suddenly remembered what his biology teacher had said: plants generally grow at night. Why not go and have a look at the little tree he planted? When he came to the yard, he saw his father splashing something under the tree he had planted with a spoon.

All of a sudden he understood that his father had been secretly fertilizing the little tree he had planted! He returned to his room, tears running freely...

Decades passed. The little boy with the lame leg did not become a botanist, but he did become the president of the United States. His name was Franklin Roosevelt.

Love is the best nourishment in life, even if it is just a spoonful of water, it can make the tree of life grow strong. Perhaps the tree is so ordinary, inconspicuous; Maybe the tree is so small, even a little withered, but as long as the nourishment of the water, it can grow luxuriant, even grow into a towering tree.

Lindsey Vonn

An American girl, born in Minnesota in 1984, has been obsessed with ice and snow since childhood. She began to learn skiing at the age of 7 and soon showed her talent. Therefore, she dreamed of becoming a world-class ski racer. When she was 13, her family moved from Minnesota to Colorado for a better skiing training environment. By 14, she was one of the best junior skiers in the world; At 16, she made the U.S. national team.

Unfortunately, in 2003, her parents split up. But she continued to train on the ski slopes. She said: 'I focused on my skiing career and practised six days a week. I seem to be coasting on tight nerves." She won her first World Cup podium in January 2004 and her first World Cup leg in December of that year. But she missed out on a medal at the 2005 world Championships in Bormio, Italy. She was also the favorite to win the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin. But two days before the race, she crashed while training at 112 kilometers per hour. She battled back and pelvic injuries to compete in four events but failed to medal in any of them.

On Feb. 9, 2009, after winning two gold MEDALS at the Alpine World Championships in France, she injured her right thumb while popping champagne and nearly had it amputated. At the World Cup leg in Canada in December, she won the downhill race but banged her knee on her chin and got a bloody tongue. On the 28th of the same month, she was competing in a giant slalom in Linz, Austria, when her skis were hit by a bump of snow, sending her flying through the air and landing hard on the snow, severely bruising her left wrist bone.

She fell so hard, she could have torn her knee. So her husband, Thomas Vaughan, was relieved when doctors first told him her arm was broken. As soon as she heard the news, she asked her doctor how she could continue skiing with her broken arm. While skiers typically take months or years to recover from injuries, she didn't even sigh. Her husband said she was made of special materials.

With that, she won seven World Cup titles in the 2009 season, including all five downhill events. She also won the overall World Cup title three seasons in a row. But on the eve of the Vancouver Olympics, which began on Feb. 12, 2010, she injured her right shin during a training run in Austria and was unable to train for a week. It put her through a great deal of stress and pain, both mentally and physically. Alpine skiing can reach speeds of up to 120 kilometers per hour, the equivalent of a car speeding down a highway, and the impact on the shin is so severe that there were rumors that the favorite would retire before the race. The 2,939 meter course, with a 770m drop from start to finish, is considered the most difficult in the world, putting off athletes with Olympic dreams.

After another injury, she was afraid of discovering a fractured tibia that would interfere with her competition, so she resisted the injury and refused X-rays. Her husband also supported and encouraged her to return to the competition with confidence. Fortunately, snow and rain in Whistler, where the race took place, delayed downhill training and the race, giving her valuable healing time.

On February 17, 2010, she once again stood in the Olympic Winter Games downhill field, injuries had pronounced her "death sentence" for countless times, the opponent had defeated her for countless times, but she stood up again bravely. This girl who is not favored by fate is just like the American "flying fish" Phelps, who has attracted the attention of the world with her talent and efforts.

At the sound of the starting order, she flew out quickly, like a vigorous snow swallow, hovering in the snowy mountains. She built her advantage from the start of the race and kept it going all the way to the finish, beating herself once again and becoming the first American woman ever to win a gold medal in this event with a time of 1 minute 44.19 seconds.

She is Lindsey Vonn of the United States, known as the "most beautiful woman of the Winter Olympics."

"I have waited four years to get this title, and in those four years, I have been working hard for this gold medal, and now I am the happiest man." "The injury did affect me, but once I stood on the field, I would not consider any other factors, after all, I have to be responsible for my sweat and efforts before.
