An example from frustration to success

There is no ship in the sea without injury

Lloyd's Insurance Company of England once bought a ship from the auction market. The ship was launched in 1894, and it encountered icebergs 138 times, hit rocks 116 times, caught fire 13 times and broke its mast 27 times by the storm. However, it never sank. Lloyd's insurance company finally decided to buy it from Holland and donate it to the country based on its incredible experience and considerable benefits in premium. Now the ship is moored at the National Ship Museum in Salem, England. However, it was a lawyer who came here for sightseeing that made this ship famous all over the world. At that time, he had just lost a lawsuit and his client committed suicide not long ago. Although this is not his first failed defense, nor is it the first suicide he has encountered, he always feels guilty whenever such a thing happens. He doesn't know how to comfort these people who have suffered misfortune in business. When he saw the ship in Salem Ship Museum, he suddenly had an idea, why not let them visit the ship? So, he copied the history of the ship and hung it in his law firm together with the photos of the ship. Whenever the clients in the business world asked him to defend, he suggested that they go and see the ship regardless of winning or losing. It makes us know that there is no ship sailing on the sea without injury.

Papermaker

In Germany, a papermaker accidentally made a mistake in the formula when producing paper, and produced a batch of waste paper that could not be written. Therefore, he was fired by his boss. Just when he was frustrated and sad, one of his friends advised him, "Everything has two sides. You might as well look at it in a different way and maybe find something useful from your mistakes." So, he found that the water absorption performance of this batch of paper is quite good, and it can absorb the water on household appliances. Then, he cut the paper into small pieces, named it "absorbent paper" and took it to the market to sell, which turned out to be very popular. Later, he applied for a patent and made a fortune exclusively producing absorbent paper.

Barenyi who overcame disability

Barenyi became disabled due to illness when she was a child, and her mother's heart was like a knife, but she still fought back her grief. She thinks that what children need most now is encouragement and help, not mother's tears. Mother came to Barenyi's sickbed and took his hand and said, "Son, my mother believes that you are an ambitious person. I hope you can use your own legs to walk bravely on the road of life! Good Barenyi, can you promise your mother? " Mother's words hit Barenyi's heart like a hammer. He threw himself into his mother's arms and burst into tears. From then on, whenever my mother was free, she would practice walking and doing gymnastics for Barenyi, and she was often so tired that she was sweating. Once my mother caught a bad cold, she thought that a mother should not only teach by words, but also by example. Despite her high fever, she got out of bed and helped Barenyi practice walking as planned. Soybean-like sweat trickled down from her mother's face. She wiped it with a dry towel and clenched her teeth, which helped Barenyi finish the exercise plan that day. Physical exercise makes up for the inconvenience caused to Barenyi by disability. Mother's role model has deeply educated Barenyi, and he finally withstood the severe blow of fate. He studies hard and his academic performance has always been among the best in his class.

Finally, I finally got on the podium of the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.

Struggle is struggle

When Zeeman was a child, his consciousness of reading was not high, and his grades were always average. Zeeman's mother was very anxious when she saw her son's performance. One day, she called her son to her, looked him in the eye, and said excitedly, "Son, I knew you were a mediocre and incompetent person, and I shouldn't have struggled in the waves at the beginning ..." Then, she recalled the past to the silent Zeeman: when Zeeman was about to be born, her hometown was suddenly attacked by a flood, and she narrowly escaped and boarded a small boat, where Zeeman was born. After listening to her mother's memories, Zeeman realized that her mother had experienced difficulties, and her heart was strongly shocked. She secretly vowed to study hard and never let her down. Hard work pays off, and he was finally appreciated by the school authorities with excellent results and was hired as a teaching assistant by the school. When he went to see his mother with joy, her mother was seriously ill and dying. On her deathbed, she looked at Zeeman with affectionate eyes, and her lips trembled with difficulty. "Struggle, earn, plunge!" He died suddenly after leaving this last word. Struggle is struggle. Struggle, struggle again, is not satisfied with the status quo, always struggle. Zeeman engraved his mother's words on his mind. He hung a small gold picture frame embedded with his mother's portrait on his chest all the time. When he encountered difficulties and setbacks, he stared at his mother's portrait and recalled her inculcation to increase his courage to overcome difficulties. Zeeman struggles on the road of science, and struggles again! Finally, he climbed the peak that ordinary people can't reach. In 192, Zeeman won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
