Highlight: There are many unfortunate people in this world. Please believe that you are definitely not the most unfortunate. If they haven't given up on themselves, what reason do you have to give up on yourself?
I read this book two years ago, and many people in Nick Vucic must have heard of it. The famous motivational speaker was born without limbs, only two fingers can move. His special physical condition makes his survival particularly difficult. When he was a child, he often had a high fever, and he might be burned to death if he was not careful. Every second of his life is fighting death.
Therefore, Nick Vujicic's growth has experienced hardships that ordinary people simply can't imagine, and even he tried to commit suicide several times. However, Hu Zhe, who was not favored by God in this respect, finally overcame various restrictions with amazing perseverance and love for life. He not only finished his college studies, got a double degree, but even became the first president of the disabled student union in the history of the school.
Not only that, Nick Vujicic has been trying to break through. By chance, he found that he liked speaking, and his speech always inspired others, so he began to practice public speaking in a small circle. Later, he traveled all over the world, bringing strength and hope to people in trouble, and eventually became a world-renowned positive energy speaker.
When I read this book at that time, the shock I felt inside was beyond words.
If a person with such unfavorable congenital conditions can get out of the disaster of fate through his own efforts, then what are the difficulties and setbacks we encounter?
Many people can't help but feel sorry for themselves when they encounter a trough, as if they are the most unfortunate people in the world. Actually, it's not. Many people are even more unfortunate than us. Think about Nick? Hu Zhe, born without limbs, is hard enough for him to survive, but he has done many things that we healthy people can't.
Think of Yu Xiuhua, a child with cerebral palsy. He has never been blessed by fate since he was born, but his poems are full of aura and amazing.
Think about Lin, the author of Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise, a girl who combines beauty and wisdom. But because I was seduced by a makeup teacher for five years, my body and mind were greatly hurt. Even though she was admitted to the highest university in Taiwan Province Province with excellent results, she was deeply depressed and finally chose to end her 26-year life after writing her autobiography.
Imagine, if it weren't for this painful experience, she might have become the happiest girl in the world, and she might have become the most talented new generation writer. However, she is jealous of talent and bad luck.
Reading other people's biographies can help us jump out of our narrow vision and life circle. You will find that in fact, compared with many people, we may be lucky. More importantly, compared with those lives that come to an abrupt end, as long as we are willing to come out, there must be new possibilities.
At this time, I believe you will be suddenly enlightened and open-minded. On the contrary, if a person doesn't study, his mind will be easily restricted, thinking that his frustration must be greater than the sky.
Nick vujicic was lucky to meet his life partner, a beautiful and kind Japanese girl. Together, they formed a happy family and had two lovely children. In Love Without Limits, he talked about his own emotional experience, which was equally exciting.
Life is infinite, even in the dark, we still long for light.
Even if the wind is strong, life will not give up.
02. VIA: Life is for change.
Highlight: Life has its ups and downs. Only by walking constantly can we reach the distant place we want to go.
In fact, I paid little attention to Viya before, only knowing that she is the leading e-commerce female anchor with first-class ability to bring goods. After reading this book by chance, I learned about her life struggle experience, and I was deeply touched.
From a very young age, Victoria's parents divorced, and their parents went their own way. She has been living with her grandmother. 18 years old, her grandmother who loved her most passed away. Viya couldn't find the meaning of staying in her hometown in Anhui, so she chose to travel to Beijing alone.
After arriving in Beijing, she worked as a local clothing shopping guide for more than ten hours every day, with a monthly salary of 1200 yuan. Later, because of its outstanding performance, it rose to 1, 800. She is clamoring for sales promotion every day and has changed dozens of clothes. Because she lives far away, she often has to go out to work after three in the morning.
After working for two years, it coincided with the arrival of SARS, and Victoria stayed in her hometown for a period of time. Later, the epidemic gradually dispersed. As soon as she got together with her boyfriend, she simply went into business together. They rented a booth less than 10 square meter and started selling clothes.
But Via has always had a dream of being a singer. When she was a child, she was always a literary model in the school. She took part in many singing, dancing and reading competitions and achieved good results. Later, by chance, she took part in a draft competition and won the ranking, so she was lucky enough to be signed as an artist by a record company.
Then, her life did not become bright because of it. Instead, she entered the record company, except for repeating training every day, doing some odd jobs, and then spending it in endless waiting opportunities.
In the past few years, Via's career as a singer has hardly made any progress and there is no hope in sight. She also spent all her savings, and her life was uncertain because she brought her boyfriend in. After struggling for several years, Viya finally decided to give up the show business and continue to open a shop with her boyfriend.
After going to Xi, they continued to do what they were familiar with and good at. Business is booming again and their lives are getting better and better. The family originally expected them to buy a house, a car, get married and have children, but Viya is a restless person, which coincides with the vigorous development of e-commerce after 20 10. Seeing the huge opportunity of e-commerce, Viya resolutely chose to go south to do online e-commerce and closed the physical store that was still profitable. It was really the last battle.
However, entrepreneurship is often a narrow escape. E-commerce and physical store opening are completely different. Because I am not familiar with the operation method, I also have differences with my partner. In the end, Viya lost 6,543,800 partners and various debts, and finally managed to make ends meet by selling a suite. But the twists and turns are not over.
14 During the Double Eleven period, Viya harvested a large number of orders. But in the end, due to poor service and uneven product quality, not only did I not make any money, but I also lost 3 million yuan. I was able to tide over the crisis by selling a suite.
After years of hard work, Viya has not achieved the long-awaited success. It was not until 20 16 that she began to try live broadcast, which ushered in the outbreak of entrepreneurship and gradually became the queen of the whole network. However, it has been eight years since she gave up singing and five years since she started a business in the south.
It took Viya 20 years to grow from an ordinary clothing store clerk to a super popular female anchor on the Internet. After many hardships and setbacks, she also experienced a long wait before finally achieving her goal.
No one's life is smooth sailing. This book will tell you that life has ups and downs, sunny days and stormy days, but the important thing is that you have to keep going to get to the far place you want to go.
