There is a president named Roosevelt in the United States. When he was a senator, he was radiant, handsome, talented and deeply loved by the people.

One day, he was on holiday in the Caribbean. When he was swimming, he suddenly felt his legs paralyzed and could not move. Fortunately, a lucky person was saved and a tragedy was avoided.

After the doctor's diagnosis, Roosevelt was confirmed to have polio.

The doctor said to him, "You may lose the ability to walk."

Roosevelt replied, "I still have to walk." I want to walk into the White House. "

When running for the presidency for the first time, he said to the campaign assistant, "You have built a big platform, and I want all voters to see that this polio patient can' walk to the front desk' and make a speech without any crutches."

On that day, he was wearing a straight suit and his face was full of confidence. He stepped onto the platform from the background. Every step he took, every American deeply felt his thoughts and full confidence.

We'll talk about it later. Roosevelt became the only great American president in American history who was re-elected for four terms.

The success of many things mainly depends on indomitable willpower and absolute self-confidence. People who always limit their abilities with their own defects are not smart. That was just an excuse to hide my fear of failure. Some people may say that they have no sales experience at all and dare not try, wasting an opportunity that may lead them to success.

Life itself is a challenge. Even if you have defects, as long as you don't admit defeat and are willing to try to prove your skills in a certain field, you will surely succeed.

Children should be self-reliant.

During the Kangxi period, Liu Yinshu, the governor of Guizhou, retired to his hometown and wanted to build a bridge for his hometown with his life savings. However, the children objected to him: "You have been a senior official all your life, but we haven't touched any light. It is easy to expect you to go home, but you are so indifferent to us. " Liu Yinshu was very sad. He felt that although he was innocent, he neglected the education of his children. So he used up his savings and spent five years building a bridge named "Liu Yuqiao". After the bridge was repaired, he said to his children, "The reason why I spent all my savings on repairing the bridge is to tell you with facts that I want to go my own way and create my own life. It is better to rely on yourself. " In order to completely eliminate the children's dependence on their parents, he sold the bridge to the government for fifteen taels of silver.

What Liu Yinshu did deeply touched his children. His children will become the pillars of the country in the future.

It should be said that Liu Yinshu is far-sighted in attaching importance to the cultivation of children's spirit of self-improvement, and he is well-intentioned in educating children with his life savings. The ancients still did. How should parents view the cultivation of children's self-improvement spirit today, and what role should parents play from it? Let's look at two stories first.

Edison came from humble origins and lived in poverty. His life's "education" is only three months of primary school. Because his teacher was always tongue-tied by his strange questions, he even told his mother that he was a fool and would have no future. Although Edison did not receive a good school education, he achieved great success with his personal struggle and extraordinary intelligence, self-confidence, self-reliance and self-reliance. Self-taught, he stood up from thousands of failures with perseverance, rare enthusiasm and energy, overcame countless difficulties and became an American inventor and entrepreneur. He invented the automatic telegraph and phonograph; Experiment and improve electric lights (incandescent lamps) and telephones. In his life, there was a new invention every 15 days on average, so he was called "the king of inventions".

Gates was born into an upper-class family in Seattle, the west coast of the United States, and his father was a famous local lawyer. Gates is an excellent student and is famous for his extreme individualism. According to one of his high school classmates, Gates once asserted that he would become a billionaire at the age of 25. 1970s, Gates and his partner paul allen, who were still studying at Harvard University at that time, designed an Altair BASIC interpreter for Altair 8800 computer. Altair is the first commercially successful personal computer, and BASIC language is an easy-to-learn computer programming language. The version of BASIC developed by Gates and Allen is the later version of Microsoft BASIC, which is also the basis of MS-DOS operating system and the key to Microsoft's early success. Microsoft Basic later became Microsoft QuickBasic, and gradually evolved into Visual Basic which is still popular today.

In the early 1970s, the young Gates/Kloc-0 wrote a famous "Open Letter to Enthusiasts", which shocked the computer world. Gates declared that computer software will be a huge commercial market, and computer enthusiasts are not allowed to copy computer programs without the consent of the original author. At that time, the computer industry was influenced by hacker culture and thought that creativity and knowledge should be shared. Gates then left the campus, founded one of the most successful enterprises in the world-Microsoft, and gradually industrialized the software.

China has studied it.

After graduating from middle school in China, he was forced to drop out of school because he could not afford the tuition. Back to my hometown, while helping my father to work, I continued to study and teach myself tenaciously. Soon, he was infected with typhoid fever and his life was dying. He stayed in bed for half a year, but after his illness, he left a lifelong disability-deformity of the left leg joint and limping. He was only 19 years old at that time. In that confused, confused and almost desperate day, he thought of Sun Bin behind Sun Tzu's Art of War. "The ancients can still be physically and mentally disabled. I'm only 19 years old, so there's no reason to give up. I want to replace my imperfect legs with a sound mind! " Young Hua is so tenacious in fighting against fate. During the day, he dragged his sick leg, endured severe joint pain and worked with crutches. In the evening, he taught himself late into the night under the oil lamp. 1930, his paper was published in Science magazine, which alarmed Professor Xiong Qinglai, head of the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University. Later, Tsinghua University hired Huawei as a teaching assistant. On the campus of Tsinghua University, where famous artists gather, Hua served as a teaching assistant in the Mathematics Department. He also taught himself English, German and French in four years and published ten papers. By the time he was 25 years old, he was already an internationally renowned young scholar.

Newton stood on the shoulders of giants.

Newton, known as the "father of mechanics", founded calculus in his twenties, discovered the spectrum and put forward the law of universal gravitation. But instead of taking the credit for himself, he said modestly, "If I see farther than Descartes, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants." .

Sixth, Xu Beihong's rhetoric.

At the beginning of the 20th century, when Xu Beihong was studying in Europe, he met a foreigner who picked things up. The foreigner said, "China people are ignorant and have become the material of the conquered since they were born. Even if you send it to heaven for further study, you can't become a talent! " Xu Beihong replied indignantly: "Well, I represent my motherland and you represent your country. When you graduate from school, you will know who is a talent and who is a fool! " A year later, Xu Beihong's oil paintings were well received by French artists. After that, he won the first prize in many competitions. His solo exhibition caused a sensation in the whole Paris art world. Such amazing achievements are far beyond the reach of that foreigner.

Seven, come to dinner.

In the famine years of ancient times, a rich man stood a stall to give alms to porridge and rice. When they saw a stumbling man, they shouted, "Hey! Come and eat this! " That man is really a hungry and cold person; He came over, but he persisted and said firmly, "It is because I didn't eat this' hey, come and eat' that I came to this step; Now, that's it. Will I eat this again? ! "Say that finish, he strolled away again. 8. A doctor was assigned to a research institute and became the person with the highest academic qualifications. One day, he went fishing in the small pond behind his unit. It happened that the director and deputy director were around him and were fishing. He just nodded slightly. What are these two undergraduates talking about? After a while, the director put down the fishing rod, stretched himself and walked briskly across the water to go to the toilet. The doctor's eyes are about to fall off. Floating on the water? Really? This is a pond. When the director came back from the toilet, he also floated back from the water. What's going on here? Doctoral students are not easy to ask, they are doctoral students! After a while, the deputy director also stood up, took a few steps and floated across the water to go to the toilet. Now the doctor almost fainted: no way, go to a place where Jianghu experts are concentrated? Doctoral students are also very anxious. There are walls on both sides of this pond. It takes more than ten minutes to go to the toilet opposite, and it's too far to go back to work. What should I do? Doctoral students don't want to ask the two directors. After holding back for a long time, they got up and stepped into the water: I don't believe undergraduates can pass, but my doctoral students can't. The doctor fell into the water with a bang. Two directors pulled him out and asked him why he had to go into the water. He asked, "Why did you walk there?" The two directors smiled at each other: "There are two rows of stakes in this pond. Because it rained these two days, the water just rose below the surface. We all know the location of the stake, so we can step on it. Why don't you ask? " Education represents the past, and only learning ability can represent the future. People who respect experience can take fewer detours. A good team should be a learning team. 9. A said to B, "I want to leave this company. I hate this company! " B suggestion: "I raise my hands in favor of your revenge!" " ! This broken company must give it some color to see see. But now is not the best time for you to leave. "ah q:? B said, "If you leave now, the company will not lose much. You should take advantage of the opportunity in the company, try your best to attract some customers for yourself, become a unique figure in the company, and then suddenly leave the company with these customers, the company will suffer heavy losses and be very passive. "A think what B said is very reasonable. So he worked hard and got what he wanted. After more than half a year's efforts, he has many loyal customers. When we meet again, B asks A: It's time to jump, so hurry up! A smiled indifferently: the boss talked to me for a long time and was going to promote me to be the assistant to the general manager. I have no plans to leave for the time being. In fact, this is also the original intention of B. A person's job is always just for his resume. Only by paying more than you get, and letting the boss really see that your ability is greater than your position, will you be given more opportunities and create more profits for him. 10. Before a master performer came on stage, his disciples told him that his shoelaces were loose. The master nodded his thanks and squatted down to tie it carefully. Disciple turned his back and squatted down to untie his shoelaces. A bystander saw all this and asked inexplicably, "master, why did you untie your shoelaces again?" The master replied, "Because I play a tired traveler, I can show his fatigue and haggard through this detail, and let his shoes loose through a long journey." "Then why don't you just tell your disciples?" "He can carefully find that my shoelaces are loose and enthusiastically tell me that I must protect his enthusiasm and encourage him in time. As for why I untied my shoelaces, I will have more opportunities to teach him to perform in the future. I can talk about it another time. "People can only do one thing at a time, and only by grasping the key points can they become real talents. 1 1. There was a rich boy who loved jiaozi very much and ate it every day. But he is very cunning. He only eats stuffing and throws the tips of his skin into the river behind him. The good times didn't last long. When he was sixteen, a big fire burned his whole family, and his parents died in anger. I'm penniless now, so I'm embarrassed to beg. The neighbor's sister-in-law is very nice. She gives him a bowl of mushy noodles for every meal. He studied hard and came back after three years. He must thank his neighbor's sister-in-law Sister-in-law told him: Don't thank me. I didn't give you anything. I put away the jiaozi tips you lost in those years, dried them and bagged them. I wanted them to plan ahead. I gave it back to you just when you needed it. The official thought for a long time. . . . There is a famous March 8 theory: eight hours of sleep and eight hours of work, everyone is the same. The difference between people lies in how to spend their spare time. Time is the most affectionate and heartless thing, and everyone has the same thing, which is fair. But people with resources may not be successful, and those who make good use of resources will be successful. Living during the day and developing at night are the requirements for talents in 2 1 century. 12, two people were in the forest and met a big tiger. A quickly took off a pair of lighter sports shoes from the back and put them on. B was so anxious that he scolded, "What are you doing? Changing shoes can't beat the tiger! " A said, "I just want to run faster than you." "In 2 1 century, no sense of crisis is the biggest crisis. Especially after China's entry into WTO, telecommunications, banking, insurance and even civil servants, which we think are very stable and secure, will also face many variables. When more tigers come, aren't we ready for running shoes? 13. Father and son live on the mountain and drive ox carts down the mountain to sell firewood every day. The old father is more experienced, driving in the town, the mountain road is rugged and curved, and the son has a good eye. He always reminds him when he wants to turn: "Dad, turn! "Once my father didn't go down the mountain because of illness, and my son drove alone. At the corner, the cow refused to turn, so the son tried every means to get out of the car and push and pull, lured by grass, and the cow did not move. What the hell is going on? My son is puzzled. In the end, there is only one way. He looked around to see that no one was there. He leaned close to the cow's ear and shouted, "Dad, turn!" " "The cow responded and was moved. Cows live by conditioned reflex, while people live by habit. A successful person knows how to cultivate good habits instead of bad ones. When more good habits are accumulated, there will naturally be a good life. At the age of 14, five-year-old Hank went to work in the forest with his parents and brothers. Suddenly it began to rain, but they only brought a poncho. Dad gave the poncho to mom, mom gave it to my brother, and my brother gave it to Hank. Hank asked, "Why did my father give it to my mother, my mother gave it to my brother and my brother gave it to me?" Dad replied, "Because dad is better than mom, mom is better than brother, and brother is better than you." We all protect the weak. Hank looked around and ran to cover the poncho on a delicate flower swaying in the wind and rain. This story tells us that the real strong man is not necessarily powerful or rich, but how much he helps others. Responsibility allows us to accomplish things, and love allows us to do things well. 15, a scholar went to Beijing for the third time to catch the exam and lived in a shop where he often lived. Two days before the exam, he had three dreams. The first dream is that he grows cabbage on the wall. The second dream is that it is raining. He is wearing a hat and an umbrella. The third dream is that he is lying naked with his beloved cousin, but his back is to his back. These three dreams seem to have some profound meanings, so the scholar hurried to find fortune-telling dreams the next day. Hearing this, the fortune teller patted his thigh continuously and said, "You'd better go home. Think about it, isn't it futile to grow vegetables on high walls? Isn't it unnecessary to wear a hat and an umbrella? Isn't it impossible to lie naked in a bed with my cousin, but back to back? "Hearing this, the scholar was disheartened and went back to the store to pack his bags and prepare to go home. The shopkeeper was surprised and asked, "Isn't there an exam tomorrow? Why did you go back to your hometown today? "When the scholar said this, the shopkeeper was happy:" Hey, I can also interpret dreams. I think you must stay this time. Think about it, isn't it high to grow vegetables on the wall? Doesn't wearing a hat and an umbrella mean that you are prepared this time? Lying naked in bed with your cousin doesn't mean it's time for you to turn over? "Hearing this, the scholar made more sense, so he happily took the exam and got a flower-exploring. Positive people, like the sun, shine wherever they shine, while negative people, like the moon, are different on the fifteenth day of the first month. Ideas determine our lives. What kind of ideas, what kind of future.
