Examples of success without relying on parents 1
A farmer's son happened to see a person playing the harmonica. He thought the sound was really beautiful, so he wanted to buy one and learn to play.
At that time, a harmonica cost more than three yuan. This money, in the eyes of rural people at that time, was a huge sum. He can't ask his parents for this huge sum of money. If he wants to realize his dream of owning a harmonica, he can only earn that huge sum back by himself.
He was born in Tongshan, Hubei Province, where there are many mountains and firewood. Although he is still in primary school, he knows that selling 100 Jin of firewood can get 80 points. A harmonica is equal to 500 Jin of firewood, and he can also calculate the bill.
At that time, he could only pick up fifty or sixty catties of firewood at a time, but every little makes a mickle. After playing 500 Jin of firewood, he bought the harmonica back.
A few years later, he had another dream of buying a radio. But the cheapest radio is 27 yuan. At that time, 100 Jin of firewood could be sold to 1 yuan. This account is easy to calculate. You can buy the radio back with 2700 Jin of firewood.
With the radio, his vision and knowledge, even many adults, can't compare with him.
A few years later, he dreamed of buying a violin. He went to the shops in the county and saw that the price of a violin was 80 yuan. At that time, 100 Jin of firewood could be sold to 1 piece of 30 cents.
He pulled more than 6 thousand Jin of firewood and his dream of buying a violin came true.
He didn't become a harmonica player or a violinist. Of course, listening to the radio does not make him an expert in listening to the radio.
But through the experience of buying back harmonica, radio and violin with firewood, he came to a conclusion: no matter how big the dream is, it can be realized as long as you really work hard. On the other hand, real efforts can be used to realize dreams.
He didn't become a harmonica player or a violinist, but he became a famous writer, hard pen calligrapher and photographer in Tongshan County.
This is Xue Yanming whom I met at the pen meeting. "You see, on my shoulder, I can still see the scar left by chopping wood." As he spoke, he showed me his collar with his hand.
Needless to say, he realized the dream of a writer, calligrapher and photographer, and also bought it with various efforts in reality.
How difficult is it in the world? For it, it is easy and difficult; If you don't do it, it's hard for easy people. The most difficult truth and wisdom in the world are always the simplest. You work hard and get it, and you get it. Everyone knows that all dreams need hard work. The reason why many people fail to realize their dreams is that they have too many illusions, too much hesitation, too little effort and too little persistence.
