Examples of success and failure

Failure is the mother of success! Here are some examples of success and failure I have compiled for your reference!

Examples of success and failure 1 Xiang Yu is a descendant of the nobles of Chu. He and his uncle Xiang Liang always wanted to restore Chu.

Xiang Liang, educated and able to fight, made many friends in Huiji County. When he heard about the Chen She Uprising, within a few days, he assembled a team of 8000 people. This team crossed the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, and many teams defected to Xiang Liang and Xiang.

Xiang Liang found the descendants of the King of Chu and made him Chu Huaiwang. Soon, Zhang Han, the general of Qin, launched a fierce counterattack. Xiang Liang died in this war. Xiang Yu was so angry that he was determined to avenge his uncle.

Xiang Yu was brave and good at fighting, which was fully demonstrated in the Julu (Pingxiang County, Hebei Province) War and became famous. He first cut off Qin Jun's grain transportation, divided Qin Jun's army into two parts, and then stormed Qin Jun.

After he led the troops to cross the river, he ordered the soldiers to take only three days' dry food, smash all the rice cookers and sink all the ships crossing the river (this is the origin of the idiom "cross the rubicon". The kettle is a pot), Xiang Yu said to the soldiers: "There is no retreat in this battle. Within three days, Qin Jun must be defeated! " His courage and determination played a great role in the soldiers. The Chu army surrounded Qin Jun, and under the command of Xiang Yu, the soldiers became more and more brave, which was really one in ten. After nine fierce battles, Qin Jun was killed and Wang Li, the general of Qin State, was captured alive.

Other rebel armies attacking Julu are all afraid of Qin Jun, and dare not attack head-on. They are all watching. When they heard ChuBing's earth-shattering shout ShaSheng, they jumped high and saw ChuBing's rampage in the Qin camp, they all stuck out their tongues and held their breath. When Xiang Yu invited them to meet after the battle, they all knelt on the ground and crawled in, not even daring to lift their heads. They said, "The general's power is amazing. There has never been a second one since ancient times. We are willing to obey your command. " Since then, Xiang Yu has actually become the leader of various rebel armies.

Xiang Yu is famous for his bravery in combat, but he has a bad temper and kills too many people. For example, Zhang Han, the general of the State of Qin, led his troops to surrender to Xiang Yu, but before Xiang Yu entered Xianyang (the capital of the State of Qin), he knew that the surrendered Chi was in an unstable mood and was afraid that he could not control his surrender. As a result, with the exception of Zhang Han and two generals, more than 200,000 Chi surrendered overnight and were buried alive in a big pit. His cruelty is also famous.

Xiang Yu prided himself on taking the credit. Later, he simply put Chu Huaiwang aside, claimed to be the overlord of Chu, and even made a self-assertion to packet meritorious generals. Because of their own shortcomings, they are not good at employing people, so that a group of counselors around them are talented but unable to play, and some go to Liu Bang. As a result, from weak to strong, Liu Bang ambushed on all sides and surrounded him in gāi (southeast of Lingbi County, Anhui Province).

That night, the besieged Xiang Yu was in his tent, and he was very sad at that time. The songs of the soldiers in the Han camp were accompanied by the west wind. Hearing this, Xiang Yu was stunned by the songs of the Chu people. He felt that the tide had ebbed and said, "It's over. Has Liu Bang already laid my hometown of Xichu? " ? How can there be so many Chu people in Hanying? "

That night, he rode on Wu Zhi's horse and broke through with 800 soldiers. Along the way, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties in the battle with the pursuers. By the time we reached Wujiang (northeast of Anhui County), there were only 26 people left.

There happened to be a boat parked on the shore at the pavilion head of Wujiang River, and the pavilion head advised Xiang Yu to cross the river and go home. Xiang Yu said with a wry smile: "I led 8,000 soldiers to start fighting. I'm the only one who went back today. How dare I say goodbye to my hometown? " . This is my destiny, not that I can't beat them. "He gave the ZhuiMa to TingChang, 26 soldiers with short knives, and caught up with the Han soldiers in hand-to-hand combat, killing many Han soldiers, and 26 soldiers were all dead. Xiang Yu was wounded in more than a dozen places, and drew his sword to commit suicide by the Wujiang River. This formidable soldier, a bully with unstoppable courage, ended his life under siege.

Examples of success and failure 2 In 496 BC, Yue Wangyun died often and his son Gou Jian succeeded to the throne. Wu began to attack Vietnam. Wuyue's two armies fought against Li (now south of Jiaxing, Zhejiang). Wu's array is neat and serious. Gou Jian, the King of Yue, sent death squads to fail. Instead, he tried to attract Wu Jun's attention by committing collective suicide in front of the battle line. Then he attacked Wu Jun, and the more he drifted, the more he fought, the more he stabbed He Lv, the king of Wu. Wu Jun retreated, He Lv died on the way, and his son Fu Cha succeeded to the throne.

In order to avenge his father, Fu Cha sent someone to stand outside the palace gate. Whenever Fu Cha came in and out, he asked, "Fu Cha, have you forgotten the king of Yue's revenge for killing his father?" Focha replied: "I dare not forget!" Finally, in 497 BC, Wu defeated the Vietnamese army in Fujiao (now Taihu Lake, southwest of Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province), forcing the state of Yue to submit and letting Gou Jian, the king of Yue, go to Wu Weinu for three years.

Three years later, Fu Cha didn't listen to Wu Zixu's advice, didn't kill Gou Jian, the King of Yue, and let him go home.

In 485 years before the park, Fu Cha joined the vassal in Huangchi (now southwest of Fengqiu, Henan Province) and defeated Jin to become the overlord.

In 478 years before the park, the State of Yue attacked Wu, and the two countries confronted each other in (water domain name, in the south of Suzhou today, from Taihu Lake to the sea, and parallel to Wusong River in the south). At night, the left and right squadrons of the Vietnamese army beat drums and shouted, pretending to attack the two wings of Wu Jun, and Wu Jun divided his forces to defend, while the main force of the three armies of the Vietnamese army waded in secret, storming the Zhong Jun of the State of Wu, and the State of Wu was defeated.

In 473 BC, the Vietnamese army attacked Wu on a large scale for the third time and surrounded Fucha on Gusu Mountain. Fu Cha sent Gongsun Xiong and naked resignation, but failed to make peace with Gou Jian, the king of Yue. Fu Cha said with shame, "I have no face to see my son." Like masked suicide.

Examples of Success and Failure 3 Fang Zhongyong, a native of Jinxi, has been farming for generations. When Zhong Yong was five years old, he didn't know the writing tools. One day, he suddenly cried for them.

His father was surprised by this and lent him a neighbor's writing tool. Zhong Yong immediately wrote four poems and wrote his own name. This poem of his is about supporting parents and getting on well with people of the same family, and it was spread to the scholars in the whole town to watch it. From then on, he was assigned to write a poem, so that he could finish it at once. The literary talent and truth of the poem are worth seeing. People in the same county were very surprised at this and gradually treated his father as a guest. Some people paid Zhong Yong to write poems. His father thought it was profitable. He took Zhong Yong to visit people in the same county every day to stop Zhong Yong from studying.

I've heard a long time ago. In the era of Ming Dow, I followed my late father back to my hometown and met him at my uncle's house. He is twelve or thirteen years old. Let him write poems, and his poems are not as good as his previous reputation.

Seven years later, I came back from Yangzhou and went to my uncle's house to ask about Zhong Yong. I replied, "Zhong Yong's talent has disappeared, just like ordinary people."

Examples of success and failure 4 After the Three Kingdoms stood firm, Wei, Shu and Wu each occupied their own territory, but they all wanted to annex each other.

Northern expedition to the Central Plains and revival of the Han Dynasty are the established strategies of Shu Han, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have been worried about it. Guan Yu was ordered to stay in Jingzhou and wait for an opportunity to advance northward.

Guan Yu marched northward, captured General Wei alive, and besieged General Coss of Wei Zhengnan in Fancheng, which won worldwide attention.

General Wu, who was guarding Lukou at that time, was. Back in Jianye, he said that he was ill and wanted to recuperate. In fact, he was planning to deal with Guan Yu. Lu Xun went to visit his ministry, and they naturally talked about military affairs.

Lu Xun said: "Guan Yu usually bullies others." Now that we have won one victory after another and made great achievements, we will be more complacent. I also heard that you are ill, so our preventive measures may have to be relaxed. He just wants to crusade against Wei, and if he is surprised at this time, he will be caught off guard. "

Lu Meng was impressed by Lu Xun's knowledge, so he recommended Lu Xun to Sun Quan to guard Lukou instead of himself.

As soon as Lu Xun arrived at Lukou, he immediately wrote to Guan Yu: "You defeated Wei Jun and made great contributions. How amazing! Even before Jin Wengong's feats in the battle of Chengpu, Han Xin's tactics of destroying Zhao Zhong can't compare with you. I just came here to work, and I don't have much knowledge and experience. I have always admired your good reputation, so I beg your advice. "

When Guan Yu received Lu Xun's letter, he was naturally flattered by the praise in the letter, so he took it for granted that Lu Xun was just a nobody, so he was not afraid and relieved the future trouble of Wu.

After stabilizing Guan Yu, Lu Xun secretly accelerated the military deployment. When the conditions are met, he will command the army and conquer Nanjun, an important town in central Sichuan. Guan Yu defeated Maicheng and was finally killed.

In this way, Guan Yu paid a heavy life price for his conceit and underestimation.

Inspirational story from failure to success: countless failures are equal to success.

Liao Rongdian is the president of an international investment consulting company in the United States. He once had a very famous percentage law.

This law says: If you meet 10 customers and only get the order from 200 yuan at the last customer, what do you think of the first 9 failures and rejections?

Mr. Liao further explained: "Remember, you earned 200 yuan because you met the customers of 10, not the customers of 10. Each customer makes you earn 200/ 10=20 yuan. So the income that is rejected every time is 20 yuan. Therefore, when you are rejected, you should smile and salute the customer, because he made you earn 20 yuan. "

Ryoji Aocheng, the king of Japanese Nissan car sales, has a similar statement.

He saw from a car magazine that according to statistics, the success rate of Japanese car salesmen visiting customers is 1/30. In other words, one of the 30 customers visited will buy a car. The information excited him.

He knows that as long as he visits 29 people in a row, the 30th person is the buyer. Most importantly, he thinks he should thank not only the 30th buyer, but also the previous 29 buyers, because without the previous 29 setbacks, how could he have succeeded for the 30th time!

Indeed, a stone remained motionless after being struck violently by a hammer for 99 times. The100th impact finally cracked it ... Do you think this is just the last blow? Of course not!

You are hungry and bought five loaves of bread. When you finished the fifth piece, you felt full. Do you think that if I knew this, I wouldn't have bought the first four loaves? Of course not!

In the face of all setbacks and rejections in life, I think each of us should face them with a good attitude and always thank them. Only in this way can we gain something from every effort. Because, the final success is always accumulated by countless failures before. This is what Liao Rongdian's percentage law tells us.

Examples of success and failure. The top scholar in the ancient imperial examination is little known now, but many students who failed the exam are world-famous.

The most legendary loser is Zhang Ji, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. He is only famous for a failed poem. According to legend, after Zhang Ji failed the list, he thought his classmates and friends were the first, but he fell out of Sun Shan. He was depressed and went to Suzhou to play. The poet lives on a passenger ship next to Hanshan Temple. From evening to night, Zhang Ji has been standing at the bow of the boat looking at the night in Suzhou, feeling as bleak and cold as the night wind, so he casually sang a song "Night Sleeping by the Maple Bridge": "On a frosty night, Jiang Feng is worried about fishing and sleeping. Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, passenger ships are ringing at midnight. " This poem not only made Hanshan Temple famous, but also let future generations know that there was a great poet named Zhang Ji.

Gui Youguang, an essayist in Ming Dynasty, failed the list eight times. Gui Youguang was very clever since he was a child, and he could write at the age of 9. 10 years old, wrote a thousand words of "Begging for the Ultimate". Gui Youguang studied hard since childhood and was determined to struggle. But in the imperial examination, he failed once. He moved to Jiading (now Shanghai) and began to study and give lectures to attract disciples to give lectures. Gui Youguang's prose is plain, simple and touching. Ji Xiang Xuanzhi, the representative work, was included in the Chinese textbook of senior high school. Gui Youguang has made great achievements in prose creation. He wrote 40 volumes of Collected Works of Zhenchuan, which was praised as "the first plain language" by later generations.

Pu Songling, the author of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, is also doomed to fall off the list. When Pu Songling 19 years old, he took the boy's exam and got the best result. Later, the examiners and scholars failed repeatedly. However, such a blow did not make him depressed and down for life. On the contrary, it prompted him to study poetry books harder, often went deep into the people to collect information, and wrote a famous article "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio". "Where there is a will, there is a way, cross the rubicon. 120 Qin Guan will eventually be Chu. Hard-working people, the sky pays off, go forward bravely, and 3,000 Yue families can swallow Wu. " This is Pu Songling's motto. Wu is also a failed student. He doubted the imperial examination system because of his failure, and finally stopped taking the imperial examination. On the contrary, he spent nearly 20 years writing a long satirical novel The Scholars.

Li Shizhen, a great physician and pharmacologist in ancient China, also failed the list three times. Li Shizhen 14 years old, a scholar. In the following nine years, he failed the exam three times. Therefore, he decided to abandon his official position and become a doctor, and devoted his life to studying medicine. Li Shizhen traveled all over the country and consulted more than 800 kinds of medical books. After 27 years of painstaking research, he finally wrote the pharmacological masterpiece Compendium of Materia Medica. This book has been circulated at home and abroad so far, and it is a natural history book with world influence.

The famous losers in ancient times were far more than that. Another example is the poet Li Bai, the poet Du Fu, the romantic genius Tang Yin, Su Xun, one of the "Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties", the famous poet Jia Dao, and so on.

In ancient feudal society, students who failed the exam could also achieve something. So in a civilized and open modern society, what is a failure in the senior high school entrance examination or college entrance examination? It's actually just an exam, not your life!

Example 6 of Success and Failure Before the appearance of electric lights, kerosene lamps or gas lamps were widely used as lighting tools. Because this kind of lamp burns kerosene or gas, the black smoke is very thick, the smell is pungent, and it is inconvenient to add fuel, so the lampshade is often scrubbed. More importantly, this kind of lamp is easy to cause fire, which will lead to great disaster. For many years, many scientists have tried their best to invent a safe and convenient electric light.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, a British chemist made the world's first arc lamp with 2000 batteries and two carbon rods. But this kind of lamp is too strong and can only be installed in streets or squares, which is not used by ordinary families. Numerous scientists have racked their brains to make a cheap and durable household electric light.

This day has finally arrived. 1879101October 2 1 day, an American inventor finally lit the world's first electric lamp with practical value after long-term repeated experiments. Since then, the inventor's name, like the electric light he invented, has entered thousands of households. He is Edison, who is praised as "the king of invention" by later generations.

1847 In February, Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, USA. He has only studied in school for three months in his life, but he is studious and diligent in thinking. His invention has created many achievements 1000, such as electric light, phonograph and movie camera, and made great contributions to mankind.

When Edison 12 years old, he was addicted to scientific experiments. After his tireless self-study and experiments, at the age of 16, he invented an automatic telegraph that sends signals every hour. Later, the automatic counting machine, the first practical typewriter, double and quadruple telegrams, automatic telephones and phonographs were invented one after another. Edison was not satisfied with these inventions. 1in September, 878, Edison decided to attack the fortress of electric lighting. He read a lot of books about electric lighting and made up his mind to make cheap, durable, safe and convenient electric lights.

He started the experiment with an incandescent lamp. Put a small piece of heat-resistant thing in a glass bubble, and when the current burns it to a white-hot level, it will give off heat and glow. His first thought was charcoal, so he put a small piece of charcoal wire into a glass bubble, and the glass bubble broke as soon as it was electrified.

"What is the reason?" Edison picked up the carbon wire broken in two and looked at the glass bubble again. After a long time, he suddenly remembered: "Oh, maybe it's because there is air in it. The oxygen in the air helps the carbon wire burn and makes it break immediately!" " So he used his own hand-made air extractor to extract the air from the glass bubble as much as possible. Once it is electrified, it will not go out immediately. But eight minutes later, the light went out.

In any case, Edison finally found that incandescent lamps are very important in a vacuum, and the key is carbon wires, which is the key to the problem.

So what kind of heat-resistant materials should we choose?

Edison thought about it. Platinum has the highest melting point and strong heat resistance! So Edison and his assistants tried platinum several times, but this kind of platinum with higher melting point prolonged the luminous time of the electric lamp a lot, but it was still not ideal to turn it off automatically and then glow from time to time.

Undaunted, Edison continued his experimental work. He tried various rare metals such as barium, titanium and indium, and the results were not very satisfactory.

After a while, Edison made a summary of the previous experimental work and wrote down all kinds of heat-resistant materials he could think of, a total of 1600.

Next, he and his assistants began to test 1600 kinds of heat-resistant materials in different categories. You can try it, and platinum is the most suitable one. Due to the improved air extraction method, the vacuum degree in the glass bulb is higher and the life of the lamp is extended to 2 hours. But this kind of platinum lamp is too expensive. Who wants to spend so much money on a light that can only last for two hours?

The experimental work fell into a trough, and Edison was very upset. In a cold winter, Edison sat by the fire and looked at the burning coals. He couldn't help saying to himself, "Charcoal ..."

Charcoal bars have been tried. What should I do? Edison felt hot and dry all over, so he pulled off the scarf around his neck. When Edison saw this scarf made of cotton yarn, he suddenly had an idea in his mind:

Yes! Cotton yarn has better fibers than wood. Can you use this material?

He quickly tore off a cotton yarn from his scarf and baked it on the fire for a long time. Cotton yarn turned into charred charcoal. He carefully put this carbon wire into the glass bubble, and after testing, the effect is really good.

Edison was very happy, and then he made a lot of carbon filaments from cotton yarn and did many experiments in succession. The life of the light bulb was extended by 13 hours, and then it reached 45 hours.

As soon as the news spread, it caused a sensation all over the world. The share price of London Gas plunged, and the gas industry was in chaos. People have a hunch that lighting gas lamps will soon become history, and the future will be the era of electro-optics.

Everyone congratulated Edison, but Edison didn't look happy at all. He shook his head and said, "No, we have to find other materials!" " "

"Why, it's been 45 hours?" The assistant asked in surprise. "no! I hope to open 1000 hours, preferably 16000 hours! " Edison replied.

As we all know, it is good to shine for more than 1000 hours, but what materials can we find?

Edison knew what he was doing. According to the nature of cotton yarn, he decided to look for new materials from plant fibers.

So, the marathon experiment began again. Edison experimented with all kinds of plant materials he could find, even horse mane, human hair and beard were used for filament experiments. Finally, Edison chose bamboo as a plant. Before the experiment, he took out a bamboo and observed it with a microscope. He jumped for joy. So, put the carbonized bamboo filament into the glass bulb, and after electrifying, the bamboo filament bulb lights continuously 1200 hours!

Edison finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his assistants congratulated him one after another, but he said seriously, "There are many bamboos in the world, and their structures are different. We should choose them carefully! "

Edison's scientific attitude of pursuing perfection deeply touched him, and his assistants volunteered to visit various places. After comparison, a kind of bamboo produced in Japan is the most suitable, so it is imported from Japan in large quantities. At the same time, Edison started a power plant and set up electric wires. Soon, the American people used this cheap and durable bamboo light bulb.

Bamboo filament lamp has been used for many years. Until 1906, Edison switched to tungsten wire, which improved the quality of the light bulb and has been used ever since.

When people turn on the electric light, they often think of this great inventor, who brought endless light to the darkness. From 65438 to 0979, the United States spent millions of dollars to hold a year-long commemorative event to commemorate the centenary of Edison's invention of the electric light.

Examples of Success and Failure In my primary school life, I got to know my teacher Liu Xiaowei, who taught me to play the piano. Learn to play the piano with her since childhood. Let me taste bitterness, let me taste sweetness. I began to learn to play the piano, and I was full of curiosity about playing the piano, but before I learned it for half a month, the problem came. The chords of the left hand can't keep up with the right hand at all, and they are often scolded and beaten by the teacher. It's not my fault that I can't play well. I'm still young. How is that possible? Gradually, I grew up, and in the fifth grade, it was time to take the exam 10. The teacher left so many tasks for the key. 30 auditions in a minor and b major. A piano piece and two pieces of music. The average speed is 90 to 120. I want to recite it all. Hearing this pile, my little universe is about to explode. I am not only scolded by my teacher every day, but also beaten into a meat pie by my teacher. I remember once, I didn't memorize the audition 15. Give a big slap at once. It hurt, but I didn't cry. But there are endless grievances in my heart. Turned away from his seat and slipped away. I lay quietly on the grass, enjoying the sunshine. A person is free and happy, and has a good life. There was a playful voice in my ear. Sister, what are you doing? Got a fright. I didn't good the spirit ground answers; I can't see my sister sleeping. Do what you have to do. The child seems to have seen what happened to me just now. She hesitated, came to my ear, bent down and said softly. Sister, don't lose heart, failure is failure. I drew so many pictures, and the teacher said I was happy. Maybe we are all the same, waiting for someone to tell our mother that success is failure. Success comes from failure.

Really, there will be success after failure. Soon, I was admitted with a score of 10, and I was proud with a big red book. It suddenly occurred to me that my child said that success is the mother of failure, and I was admitted to 10. It is this sentence that gives me confidence, and it is this sentence that makes me know that success is only one step away. I still believe. Because it rained, there will be a beautiful rainbow. Because human beings have been to hell, they will reach the sacred heaven. Because there are too many failures in life, we can enjoy the joy of success.
