Introduction stories are generally closely related to the production and life of primitive humans. They were eager to understand nature, so they used themselves as a basis to imagine that everything in the world was like humans, with life and will. The following is a classic inspirational story, I hope you will stop and read it! A classic inspirational story
When she was 3 years old, her parents divorced. Because of the family's poverty and ancestry, the family suffered discrimination. Her mother took her to live a wandering life, and they stayed on the floor of a friend's house because they could not pay the rent.
Even so, she never shed tears. Because her mother was an opera singer, she was influenced by her mother at a young age. When she was 4 years old, she became obsessed with music and often learned to sing from her mother.
After going to school, her academic performance was not excellent. In a test, she scored 6 points in math. The teacher scolded her in front of the whole class, but she stood up confidently and said: "Mathematics is of no use to me. I want to be a singer in the future." As soon as she said this , was immediately ridiculed by her classmates. Amidst the ridicule of her classmates, she clenched her fists tightly.
Since the age of 13, she began to compose music. At the age of 14, she found several recording studios and served as their backup audition singer. After graduating from high school, she came to New York with her immature dreams despite her family's opposition.
When she first arrived in New York, she could only work as a bartender and share a small house with others. She often spread a mattress on the floor of the living room to spend the night; she often could only rely on one bag a week. Macaroni and cheese struggled to survive, and during the months of extreme financial constraints, she even had to rely on hard bread and ice water given out by the owner of a nearby deli.
However, she did not give in. Under the dim light, she kept writing songs until her hands became numb and she fell asleep on the table from exhaustion. She was eagerly looking forward to getting a contract and releasing a record. However, she visited all the record companies on the streets of New York and was rejected.
At the age of 18, she finally got the opportunity to perform on stage in a popular club. Her perfect voice and creative talent gradually attracted people's attention, and Columbia Records successfully acquired her with a contract of US$350,000. into the flag. 350,000 US dollars was a sky-high price for her. At that moment, tears filled her eyes.
She quickly rose to prominence in the company, scoring top ten hits for the company. Her songs have become more and more mature, and her image has become sexy and confident. She frequently appears on the covers of major magazines. These magazines believed that her changes in music and image had driven the trend of the entire music industry, and named this trend the "Butterfly Effect". At the age of 20, she won the Grammy Music Award for Best Female Vocalist. In the following 10 years, she won the World Music Awards, American Music Awards, Soul Train Music Awards, American Composers Guild Award, European Music Platinum Award and other awards. Very rewarding.
However, just when her career was booming, something unpleasant happened. At the age of 30, she parted ways with Columbia Records and had to find a new company, but unfortunately, two years later, the new company also decided to terminate her contract. The reason was that they thought she had mental problems after falling out of love.
She was controversial at that time, but she did not give up music during the trough. She firmly believed that she was a butterfly and was not afraid of the rain on her wings.
A year later, she signed a contract with Island Records, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group. She was well appreciated in the new company, and two years later, she returned to the top of the music scene with her new album. The sales volume of this album ranked second in the world that year and ranked first in China. Since then, her songs have been ranked No. 1 on major music charts. Her songs are loved by music fans all over the world, so she is called the queen of pop music.
Butterfly has a characteristic. Its wings are covered with scales. The scales contain a lot of fat, which seems to put the butterfly on a "waterproof raincoat". She has always believed that she is a beautiful butterfly, and no matter how heavy the rain is, it will not wet the wings that fly for her dreams. Finally, she succeeded and ushered in her gorgeous spring. She was Mariah Carey. Chapter 2: Classic inspirational story
He was already 26 years old when he went to the United States to study film school. This was strongly opposed by his father. His father told him: There are tens of thousands of people competing for a few roles on Broadway in New York every year, so the film industry is not going to work.
He went without hesitation, and this once shy man traveled across the ocean to the United States. So what's the result?
After graduation, he did not have a job for six full years. As a man, his only job is to cook and take care of the children at home. For a while, his father-in-law and mother-in-law saw that he was doing nothing all day long, so they tactfully told their daughter, his wife, that they were going to support their son-in-law with a sum of money to open a restaurant. He knew he couldn't drag it out like this, but he didn't want to use other people's funding to start his own business. So he decided to take computer classes at a community college, learn from scratch, and try to find a stable job. Behind his wife's back, he went to a community college to register. One afternoon, his wife suddenly discovered his computer course schedule. As a result, she tore up the curriculum and said to him: "You must stick to your ideals."
Because of this sentence, because of such a sensible and wise wife, he did not Go learn computers.
Six years later, when he burst into people’s horizons with his first independently directed film, what people saw was not the youthfulness of his fledgling character, but the steady and independent character in "Pushing Hands" Views on the collision of Chinese and Western cultures. This person is the Chinese who won the Oscar for Best Director - Ang Lee.
Human life is limited, but the splendor of life is infinite. Everyone wants to be the next Ang Lee, but there are a few people who can endure the loneliness and wait for six years, or even longer. Six years of loneliness is enough to weaken a person's fighting spirit. Even if we have the same talent as Ang Lee, there are a few people who have the patience of Ang Lee and can wait until success comes. Since ancient times, the number one enemy of persistence is temptation, which is loneliness. There is a saying: "I can resist everything except temptation." Because we cannot bear loneliness and temptation, we often lose our ambitions, deviate from the direction, and never board the ship of success. If a person wants to succeed, he must go through a difficult process. Anyone who wants to achieve success easily in the spring flowers and autumn moon is in vain. This lonely process is exactly the process in which you accumulate strength and work hard to absorb nutrients before blooming. If you can't bear loneliness, success will never come to you. As Dan's favorite saying goes, "The champion always runs ahead of the applause."
To run before the applause is to run in boundless loneliness. This is what it means to be a champion. We see that many people are disoriented by fame and wealth, and often forget the true meaning of life; but those who can be indifferent to fame and fortune can penetrate the mysteries of life and realize many truths in their indifference. Zhuangzi is such an example. When the State of Chu asked him to become an official, he refused to go. He would rather guard his heart and quietly "communicate spiritually with the world alone." This is a great realm of life. By guarding loneliness, you also guard your own heart and give your life a broader world.
French entomologist Fabre once described the entire process of cicadas from birth to death in his ten-volume masterpiece "Insects". The life span of cicadas is only 30 days, and their larvae have to wait in the soil for four years for this extremely short period of more than 30 days of flying and singing. During the four long and painful waiting years, it had to withstand various natural disasters and invasions from natural enemies, and only then could it survive and have the chance to transform into a cicada.
This is the law of nature. If you want to be successful in life, you first need to be able to endure loneliness. Loneliness can promote a person's growth. Loneliness is another state of success.
There is a joke about a man who wanted to hang a painting and found a hammer and nails. It turned out that the nail couldn't hang, so I had to get a small wooden wedge. Then he looked for wood, and when he found it he looked for an axe, and then for a saw. After twisting and turning, by the time he got everything together, he had forgotten what his original purpose was. Looking at the pile of tools, he had long forgotten the existence of the painting.
This seems like a wonderful metaphor for life. Lebanese poet Gibran Gibran said: "We have gone so far that we have forgotten why we set out." Many people long for glory, chase the bustle and the brilliance behind the prosperity, and end up losing themselves in the constant pursuit.
We forget our persistence and our choices, but we remember the busyness and the exhaustion of walking in the world. We are like the person who forgot to draw, forgetting his original intention.
If Ang Lee had learned computer science and failed to find a job, would he have wanted to learn to be a chef? If a chef graduates but fails to find a suitable job, should he study carpentry again? Then this life might be wasted in the end.
Fortunately, Ang Lee did not. He held on to his ideals in loneliness and hardship, and also held on to a career for his future. Three classic inspirational stories
