What is the truth behind positive stories?

There is never a real desperate situation in life. No matter how many hardships one experiences, as long as a person still has a seed of faith in his heart, one day he will be able to get out of the predicament and let his life bloom and bear fruit again. The following is what I have compiled for you. I hope it will be helpful to you!

Chapter 1: You can lower your head, but you cannot bend over

The architecture of the Miao people’s houses is the most distinctive. There can be dozens of eaves and thresholds in a large house. On weekdays, the villagers in the Miao village walk in through the eaves and thresholds from the outside carrying heavy baskets on their backs. What I don't understand is that although there are so many obstacles, I have never seen any of them hit the eaves or trip over the threshold. You know, for a foreigner, even if they walk empty-handed in a house like this, they will often bump into their heads and stumble, not to mention, they are carrying such a heavy backpack behind them.

Later, I asked a local resident for advice. The old man told me that if you want to walk freely in such a building, you must remember one sentence: You can lower your head, but you cannot bend. Lowering your head is to avoid obstacles above and see clearly the threshold under your feet. The reason for not bending down is to have enough strength to carry the backpack on your body.

After listening to the old man’s words, I fell into deep thought. You can lower your head, but not bend over. Isn’t this how our attitude towards life should be? Isn’t the Miao family’s house just like our life? The road is full of eaves and thresholds, and a small space is full of stumbling blocks. And the big backpack on our shoulders is filled with our human dignity. Carrying dignity and walking on a road with different levels and ups and downs, we must always be alert to the dangers around us. In order not to kowtow or stumble, we began to learn to lower our heads - to lower our heads in life, in dealing with the world, to restrain our sharp edges, and to walk cautiously with our heads down.

There are too many eaves and thresholds in our lives. From a very young age, we have been bumping into each other and falling over each other. Later, when we grew up, our parents told us that we must bow our heads when we meet others, and be patient in everything. Just for less trouble and less pain. But we forget that there is a backpack behind us, a backpack full of human dignity. As we keep bowing our heads, the dignity behind us has wavered. Once we lower our heads beyond the bottom line and even bend down, how can we still shoulder the dignity of being a human being and the dignity of life?

San Mao, a famous Taiwanese writer, had a similar experience. Back then, she went to study overseas alone. Before leaving, her parents repeatedly warned her that she must do things with her tail between her legs and her head down in a strange environment. Talk less, do more. She did exactly what her parents wanted. She does all the chores in the dormitory alone. At first, everyone was a little embarrassed, but gradually, people thought that the Chinese girl was a fool, and her patience was regarded as stupidity. So he treated her more and more and took her work for granted. Later, even Sanmao had to wash her underwear. This situation lasted for nearly a year. In the end, Sanmao, who was exhausted physically and mentally, couldn't bear it anymore. She negotiated with them in the toughest tone of her life. The Chinese girl who never loses her temper became angry and threw the other party's clothes back to them one by one. Only then did people realize that this girl who always lowered her head even when walking was not a fool. They mistook Sanmao's concession as cowardice and caution as mental retardation.

From then on, no one dared to look down upon this student from Taiwan. What's even more surprising is that Sanmao, who straightened his back and behaved himself, was not isolated by everyone, but instead won people's respect. And became friends with all of them, some of whom kept in touch with her throughout their lives.

In the years that followed, Sanmao still walked with her head lowered, but she never bent down because of fear of injury, and never let her dignity fall out of the backpack behind her.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Sanmao kept lowering his head. There is nothing wrong with lowering one's head as a human being. The fault lies in lowering one's head so much that one even bends one's back. As soon as the waist was bent, the backpack could no longer maintain balance, and the dignity fell out, scattered on the ground, and shattered to pieces. What you get is not the respect of others, but endless contempt and fooling. Facts have proved that life is a snobbery. He only sees superior people. If you want him to respect you, you have to straighten your back and behave yourself. Mature seeds always turn their heads toward the earth, and we also bow our heads deeply in reverence for fate.

But when you bow your head, don’t forget that behind us we still carry the dignity of being a human being, the heavy dignity. That is the most important thing for us. Once we even bend our waist when we bow our heads, we Will be unable to shoulder the dignity of being a human being.

Taste life and understand life: stand up straight and tell the world that we can lower our heads, but we cannot bend.

Chapter 2: Another kind of success

In Cammy, a small town near New York, there is a 14-year-old boy named Jim. He is a cute boy who is born to be the best. Good athlete. He has dreamed of becoming a football player since he was a child. However, soon after he entered middle school, his legs became lame and his cancer quickly progressed. The doctor told him that surgery was necessary otherwise the cancer would spread throughout his body. So he lost a leg in surgery.

After he was discharged from the hospital, he did not collapse as people feared. On the contrary, he immediately returned to school with a cane and happily told his friends that he would have a wooden leg. He said: "When the time comes, I will You can stick socks on your legs with thumbtacks, and none of you can do that."

As soon as football season started, Jim went back to the coach and asked him if he could be the team's administrator. During the few weeks of training, he came to the court on time every day and took the coach to practice the sandbox model of offense and defense. His courage and perseverance infected all team members. One afternoon he didn't come to training, and the coach was very worried. Later, he learned that he had gone to the hospital for examination again, and learned that Jim's condition had deteriorated into lung cancer. The doctor said: "Jim can only live for six weeks."

Jim's mother decided not to tell him about this. They wanted to let Jim spend his last days peacefully. So Jim returned to the court without being hospitalized, smiling to see his players and coaches, cheering them on. It was due to his encouragement that the team maintained an unbeaten record throughout the season and eventually won the championship. To celebrate the victory, they decided to hold a celebration banquet and prepared to send Jim a ball signed by all the players, but they waited for a long time and did not see Jim appear at the banquet.

A few weeks later, Jim returned. His face was pale and bleak, but he was still the same as before, smiling broadly and talking and laughing with his friends. The coach saw him and deliberately asked him why he didn't come to the banquet. The other team members also joked that he didn't have a big meal. "Coach, don't you know I'm on a diet?" His smile covered up the paleness on his face. In fact, Jim suffered an illness attack and only returned to the world from the hands of death after emergency rescue. Every day from then on, Jim could only take in a small amount of food to stay alive.

A teammate took out the football that was going to be given to him and said to him: "Jim, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have achieved such good results." Jim shed tears with excitement. As he listened to the coaches and players discuss plans for next season, Jim burst into tears again. Because he knew he might never see the team win another championship.

When Jim left the court, he turned around, looked at the coach and players with firm and calm eyes and said: "Goodbye, friends!"

"You mean we will see you tomorrow, Right?" the coach asked.

Jim's eyes immediately lit up and he smiled: "Yes. Don't worry about me, I will be fine."

Two days later, the team received the news that Jim had died. message.

Jim is a strong-willed, positive and optimistic person. Facing death, he did not bury his head in the sand like an ostrich, escaping from reality and becoming depressed and disappointed. Instead, he calmly accepted his fate. He was not knocked down by illness, he was never knocked down. Although his life was so short, he still grasped it and left courage and laughter in people's hearts forever. Jim did not win the football championship with his own feet, but who can say that he failed?

Chapter 3: Knock on the door and go in

A girl has experienced many setbacks, She couldn't find a successful one. She was very confused and in a bad mood.

Once, she traveled to the United States. When she visited the San Francisco City Hall, her interest was particularly high and she wandered around. At the door of the mayor's office, she knocked on the door involuntarily. Unexpectedly, a strong and majestic bodyguard came out and asked in surprise: "Miss, what can I help you with?" She was stunned, not knowing how to answer. After a pause, I thought, since I knocked on the door, let’s go in and take a look. She said to the bodyguard energetically: "Can I go in and see the mayor?"

The strong bodyguard looked at her carefully and said, "Okay, but you have to wait a moment. "After that, he used the monitor to talk to the mayor and contacted him about the time and place of the meeting. After a while, the chubby mayor with a big belly came out and happily took photos and chatted with her, like a pair of friends who have been in love for a long time.

That time, she was very happy and in a good mood.

After her trip to the United States, she realized something: knock on the door and go in. After understanding this truth, she followed the path without hesitation, and finally found success and became the manager of the banking department of a well-known domestic securities company.

She is Ma Rongqiao, one of the twin beautiful hosts of CCTV's "Talking about Famous Brands".

Knock on the door and go in is a rare spirit, and it is also a stepping stone to success. After knocking on a door, many people feel uneasy and have no confidence at all, and then turn around and leave. What a pity this is.

Now that you’ve knocked on the door and taken steps, why don’t you go in? It’s due to lack of confidence and lack of courage. If things go on like this, opportunities will only flash before your eyes for a moment and then disappear without a trace. , success is always out of reach.

Persistence for a long time is important, but when you are near the end, a moment of decision-making often seems more urgent and precious. We may have the courage to travel long distances and be prepared to endure hardship for a long time, but sometimes what we lack is the spirit to knock on the door and go in.
