Helen Keller (1880- 1962), an American female scholar, was born in Tuscany, Alabama. /kloc-when she was 0 and a half years old, she suddenly fell ill, which made her blind, deaf and dumb. In such unimaginable life adversity, she embarked on a long journey of life. ...
People say that Helen came into this world with a studious and confident temperament. Although fate was so unfair to young Helen, with the help of her first teacher, Anne Sullivan, tenacious Helen learned to write and speak. Little Helen once confidently declared: "One day, I want to go to college! I'm going to Harvard University! " This day has finally arrived. Radcliffe Women's College of Harvard University arranged her entrance examination in a special way. I saw that she skillfully touched the raised braille with her hand and then answered the question with a typewriter. After 9 hours, I passed all the subjects and got excellent grades in English and German. Four years later, Helen graduated with honors from Radcliffe College with a parchment certificate in her hand. Helen loves life. She devoted her life to the welfare and education of the blind and deaf, and won the praise of world public opinion. She has completed my life's work.
Things and other 14 works have had a worldwide impact. Her self-esteem, self-confidence and indomitable spirit of struggle are known as the eternal pride of mankind.
1 0 Helen, who is blind, deaf and dumb at the age of half, could not have grown into a scholar praised by the world without strong courage and confidence to challenge her fate. Life will face one challenge after another. How do we face the challenge? If the ego does not shrink back, knows the difficulties and finally wins, then the ego will be more perfect and mature. In the face of challenges, we must first affirm ourselves, which means our strength and confidence; Self-confidence can make people constantly strive for self-improvement, overcome difficulties and explore their inner self-potential. Helen is a powerful example. Helen once said, "Faith is the master of fate". It is important to cultivate a confident temperament. But self-confidence is not innate, it is gradually formed and developed in personal life and practice. Seriously sum up your strengths and successful experiences, let self-confidence give us the strength to meet the challenges of life and learn from Helen.
Your mentality determines whether you succeed or not.
Why are some people more successful than others, earn more money, have good jobs, good interpersonal relationships and good health, and live a happy life with high quality all day? It seems that their life is better than others. And many people are busy with work but can only make a living. In fact, there is not much difference between people. But why can many people succeed, overcome all difficulties and make contributions, while some people can't?
Many psychologists have found that this secret is the "mentality" of people. A philosopher said, "Your mentality is your real master." A great man once said, "Either you control life, or life controls you." Your mentality determines who is the mount and who is the jockey. "
About 40 years ago, two brothers lived in a poor village in Fujian. Unable to stand the harsh environment, they decided to leave their hometown and seek development overseas. The eldest brother seems to be lucky, being sold to the rich San Francisco as a slave, and the younger brother being sold to the Philippines, which is poorer than China.
Forty years later, the two brothers were lucky to get together again. They are not who they used to be. The eldest brother became an overseas Chinese leader in San Francisco, with two restaurants, two laundries and a grocery store. His descendants were full, some inherited the mantle, and some became outstanding engineers or computer engineers and other scientific and technological talents.
Where's the younger brother? In fact, he has become a world-famous banker, with a considerable number of forests, rubber plantations and banks in Southeast Asia. After decades of hard work, they all succeeded. But why are there such differences in the career achievements of the two brothers?
When two brothers get together, they can't help talking about what happened after they separated. My brother said that since we China people have no special talents in white society, we can only cook and wash clothes for white people with one pair of hands. In a word, we China people have all taken on jobs that white people refuse to do, and there is no problem in life, but we dare not expect our own careers. For example, my children and grandchildren, although they have read a lot of books, dare not dream. They can only make a living by doing some intermediate technical work with peace of mind. As for entering the upper white society, I believe it is very difficult.
Seeing his brother's success, a brother can't help but envy his happiness. The younger brother said there was no luck. When I first came to the Philippines, I did some rough work, but I found that some locals were stupid and lazy, so I gave up my career, gradually acquired and expanded, and my business gradually expanded.
The above is a true story, reflecting the struggle history of overseas Chinese. It tells us that it is not only the environment that affects our lives, but also the mentality that controls our actions and thoughts. At the same time, mentality also determines a person's vision, career and achievements.
There are two 70-year-old ladies. One thought that this age could be regarded as the end of life, so she began to take care of the aftermath. There is also an idea that what a person can do is not his age, but his idea. So, at the age of 70, she began to learn to climb mountains, several of which are world-famous. Just recently, he climbed Mount Fuji in Japan at the age of 95, breaking the record of the oldest person to climb this mountain. She is the famous old lady Huda Cruz.
It's a miracle that I didn't learn to climb mountains until I was 70 years old. But miracles are created by people. The first sign of a successful person is his way of thinking. If a person is a positive thinker, practices positive thinking and likes to accept challenges and deal with troubles, then he is half successful. The feat of the old lady Huda Cruz just proves this point.
Whether a person can succeed depends on his attitude! The difference between winners and losers is that winners always dominate and control their lives with the most positive thinking, the most optimistic spirit and the most brilliant experience. The loser is guided and dominated by all kinds of failures and doubts in the past.
Some people always like to say that their present situation is caused by others. These people often say that their ideas cannot be changed. However, our situation is not caused by the surrounding environment. In the final analysis, how to look at life and how to grasp it depends on ourselves.
The hardest thing to be a man is to grasp a degree, no matter what you do.
As long as you can freely control the degree of doing things, then you have reached the highest level of life, or at least you can be regarded as a successful person.
