the inspirational story of a successful person 1: Columbus

Christopher Columbus was a dreamer, a famous Italian navigator and a pioneer of great geographical discoveries. Born in Genoa in August or October, 1451, he died in valladolid, Spain on May 2th, 156.

Columbus was born in a worker's family in Genoa, and was a descendant of Jews who believed in Christianity. He has read Travel Notes of Marco Polo, and he yearns for India and China. When he grew up, he became a captain and was a skilled navigator. When Columbus was young, he was a believer in the theory of the earth circle and an admirer of Kyle Poirot, who had been in prison in Genoa. He was determined to be a navigator. He is convinced that a feasible navigation route to East Asia can be found from the Atlantic Ocean in the west.

he is determined to make this dream come true. He successively asked the kings of Portugal, Spain, Britain, France and other countries for funding to realize his plan of sailing west to the eastern countries, but all of them were rejected. He finally persuaded Queen Isabella I and provided funds for his expedition. He crossed the Atlantic Ocean four times from 1492 to 152 with the support of the King of Spain, and reached the American continent, so he became a famous navigator in history.

At that time, the theory of the earth circle was very popular, and Columbus believed in it. He successively asked the kings of Portugal, Spain, Britain, France and other countries for funding to realize his plan of sailing west to the eastern countries, but all of them were rejected. On the one hand, the theory of "the circle of the earth" is not perfect, so many people don't believe it and regard Columbus as a charlatan. Once, at a special review committee on Columbus plan in Spain, a member asked Columbus: Even if the earth is round, sailing to the west can reach the east and return to the port of departure, then a voyage must climb up from below the earth. How can a sailboat climb up? On this issue, Columbus, who was eloquent and eloquent, was only speechless. On the other hand, at that time, in addition to traditional silk, porcelain and tea, the most important needs of western countries for oriental material wealth were spices and gold. Among them, spices are essential materials for Europeans' daily life and cooking, which are in great demand and are not produced locally. At that time, these commodities were mainly transported by traditional sea and land combined transport routes. The vested interests in these commodities also strongly opposed Columbus's plan to open up new air routes.

Columbus lobbied around for more than ten years to realize his dreams and plans. It was not until 1492 that the Queen of Spain had an eye for heroes. She persuaded the king and even gave her own private money to help Columbus, so that Columbus's plan could be implemented.

on August 3rd, 1492, Columbus was sent by the king of Spain, with credentials for the Indian monarch and emperor China, and led three sailboats of over 1 tons, leaving the Atlantic Ocean from john young, Barros, Spain, and heading west. After 7 days and nights of hard sailing, land was finally discovered in the early morning of October 12, 1492. Columbus thought he had arrived in India. Later, I learned that the land that Columbus boarded belonged to the Bahamas in the Balebi Sea in Central America, and he named it San Salvador at that time. On March 15th, 1493, Columbus returned to Spain. After that, he repeated his voyage to the west three times and landed on many coasts of America. Until his death in 156, he always thought that he had arrived in India. Later, an Italian scholar named Amerigo, after more investigations, realized that these places Columbus arrived in were not India, but a new continent that was unknown before. Columbus discovered the new continent. However, this continent was named after the person who proved that it was a new continent: Amelia Argo. Later, as to who first discovered America, various whispers kept appearing. The conclusion that Columbus discovered the New World is beyond doubt. This is because at that time, people in Europe and even the whole old continent of Asia and Africa really didn't know there was this continent on the other side of the Atlantic. As for who arrived in America first, it is another question, because the native Americans themselves migrated from Asia in ancient times. It is also very possible that China and Oceania sailed to America, but none of this can change the fact that Columbus discovered the new continent.

Columbus's voyage was the beginning of the era of great navigation. The opening of new air routes has changed the course of world history. The influence of Columbus's epoch-making action on human society and civilization undoubtedly occupies a decisive position in human history, and his evaluation will be different in every historical era in the future, but the influence of his epoch-making is unquestionable. It ushered in a new era of development and colonization in the New World. At that time, the population of Europe was expanding. With this discovery, Europeans had two new continents to settle in, and they had mineral resources and raw materials that could change the European economy.

This discovery led to the destruction of American Indian civilization. In the long run, it has also led to the emergence of some new countries in the western hemisphere. These countries are very different from the Indian tribes who once settled in this area, and they have greatly influenced the countries in the Old World. It shifted the route of overseas trade from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic coast. Since then, the west has finally stepped out of the darkness of the Middle Ages and started to rise in the world with an irresistible trend, and in the following centuries, it has achieved maritime hegemony. A brand-new industrial civilization has become the mainstream of world economic development.

Isabella promised Columbus that he could be the governor of any land he found. But as an administrator, he was incompetent, and finally he was removed from his post and sent back to Spain in chains. He was quickly released in Spain, but he was not given any official position. But until his death, he was quite rich.

Columbus said: Even simple things need to be discovered and verified. It is useless to stand behind and dictate, the key lies in innovation.

inspirational stories of successful people 2: Socrates

Socrates, a great philosopher and scholar in ancient Greece, lived with a few friends in a small room of only seven or eight square meters when he was single. Although life is very inconvenient, he is always cheerful all the time.

someone asked him, "There are so many people crowded together that it is difficult to turn around. What's the coke?"

Socrates said, "Isn't it a great thing that friends can exchange ideas and feelings at any time when they are together?"

after a while, my friends got married one after another and moved out one after another. Socrates is left alone in the room, but he is still happy every day.

"I have many books! A book is a teacher. With so many teachers, you can ask them for advice all the time. How can it not be pleasant? "

A few years later, Socrates became a family and moved into a building. This building has seven floors, and his home is on the bottom floor. The environment on the ground floor is the worst in this building, where sewage, dead mice, broken shoes and miscellaneous dirty things are always thrown down. The man saw that he was still enjoying himself and asked curiously, "Are you happy to live in such a house?"

"yes! You don't know how wonderful it is to live on the first floor! For example, entering the door is home, and you don't have to climb high stairs; It is convenient to move things without much effort; It is easy for friends to visit, and there is no need to knock on the door floor by floor to ask questions. . . . . . What makes me particularly satisfied is that I can raise a bunch of flowers and plant a bunch of vegetables in the open space. These pleasures are endless! " Socrates couldn't help saying.

after a year, Socrates gave his first floor room to a friend, who had an old man with hemiplegia, so it was inconvenient to go upstairs and downstairs. He moved to the top floor of the building, the seventh floor, but he is still happy every day.

The man deliberately asked him again, "Sir, isn't it beneficial to live on the seventh floor?"

Socrates said, "Yes, there are many benefits! Just to give a few examples: going up and down several times a day is a good exercise opportunity, which is conducive to good health; Good light, reading and writing articles does not hurt your eyes; No one is interfering at the top, and it is very quiet day and night. "

Later, the man met Plato, a student of Socrates, and asked, "Your teacher is always so happy, but I feel that his environment is not so good every time!"

Plato said, "What determines a person's mood is not the environment, but the mood."

Inspirational Story of Successful People 3: Sinbad

During the reign of King Hruna Ladd, there was a porter named Sinbad in Baghdad. He was poor and lived by carrying goods for others. One day, the weather was very sultry, and the heavy burden on his shoulders made him sweat and panting. When he walked past the door of a wealthy businessman with his burden on his shoulders step by step, he couldn't walk any further, so he had to put down his burden and sit on the spacious and clean stone steps in front of the door for a while.

As soon as Sinbad sat down, he smelled the fragrance in the room, and heard waves of melodious orchestral music and melodious songs. He listened carefully again and heard the beautiful music, including the singing of canaries, nightingales, mountain birds, turtledoves and partridges. Such wonderful music made his heart shake and excited. He couldn't help sneaking up to the door, craning his neck and looking curiously inside. What caught his eye was a very luxurious and magnificent garden, with crowds of servants and maids, which looked like an emperor's palace. A breeze brought the strong smell of delicious food, which made him intoxicated and could not help but drool. He looked up at the sky and couldn't help sighing:

"Lord! You are the god who created the universe and the master who gives people food and clothing. Whoever you are willing to give will have plenty of food and clothing. My Lord! Please forgive my sins and accept my confession! You are omnipotent, supreme and unparalleled sage. How much I love and praise you! Whoever you want to be rich will be rich; Whoever you want to be poor will be poor; Whoever you like is noble, he is noble; Whoever you want to be humble will be humble. You are the only master, how great you are! How authoritative! Among your subjects, whoever you like can enjoy the gift to the fullest, just like the owner of this house, who wears silks and satins, eats delicacies and enjoys the splendor of the world. In short, you are the god of people's destiny, so that some of them will run around in poverty all their lives, some will be comfortable and idle all their lives, some will always enjoy themselves and be lucky, and some, like me, will work hard and be humble all the time. "

Then he sang mournfully:

"How many poor people are there?

how to stand on one's feet and rely on others.

I, a poor member, am tired and hard-working, and the hardships of life and the burden on my shoulders are increasing.

have I ever been as happy as others?

have you ever enjoyed yourself?

The same people and bodies, but the gap is so huge, hehe!

I hope, fair judge, please make a judgment. "

Sinbad, the porter, chanted, picked up the burden and was about to leave. Suddenly, a handsome, dignified and well-dressed young servant came out of the room and said to him, "Our master has something to say to you. Come in with me."

The porter hesitated for a moment, put down the burden and went in with the servant.

I can only see that this house is magnificent and magnificent, and it is full of joy, solemnity and harmony. Seated on the table, it seems that they are all dignitaries. The table is filled with all kinds of exotic fruits, mellow wines and delicacies. The fragrant fragrance of all kinds of flowers is mixed with the delicious food, which is intoxicating. Musicians and artists are holding musical instruments and playing and singing heartily. Sitting in the chief is an old man with a fair complexion, who knows at a glance that he is a pampered and well-off person.

Sinbad, the porter, was dumbfounded at this scene and thought, "Swear to Allah, this must be a paradise, or the palace of the emperor." He greeted and blessed them according to the rules, knelt down and kissed the ground, then stood humbly.

The host invited him to sit beside him, talked with him kindly and treated him warmly. Sinbad, full of wine and food, praised Allah again, stood up and washed his hands, and thanked his master respectfully.

The host said, "We welcome you and wish you all the best and good luck. What's your name? What is it? "

"My name is Sinbad, and I am a porter."

The host smiled and said, "We have the same name. My name is Sinbad the navigator. Please recite the poem you recited in front of the door just now. "

sinbad, the porter, was so nervous and ashamed after hearing this, so he replied devoutly, "swear to Allah, because I was exhausted for a while, so I only made a few remarks and asked my master to forgive me."

"I have regarded you as my brother. Don't be shy, just sing. I am very interested in the poem you recited in front of the door. "

sinbad, the porter, had to obey and recite his exclamation poem again. Hearing this, the host was deeply moved and said to him, "Brother, you don't know. I once had a legendary life experience. I will tell you how I got this position today and enjoyed this happy life." I have made seven sailing trips, and the difficulties and obstacles I encountered in each sailing trip were thrilling and unimaginable. In short, everything that happens in my life is destiny takes a hand, and no one can escape the fate. "

On my first voyage, my father was a businessman. He was very rich, prosperous and wealthy, and he was one of the best wealthy businessmen and philanthropists in our hometown. When I was very young, my father died unfortunately and left me a large legacy. When I grew up, I began to manage these properties by myself. I thought these properties were enough for me to enjoy all my life, so I lived a luxurious life without scruple. I am profligate, do nothing, and indulge in a happy life. However, due to the lack of food, life is getting worse every day. When I found myself so confused and stupid, my money had been squandered, and all that was left was a lonely man with empty hands.
