1. He Feipeng
He Feipeng, a famous financial reporter, had a very special experience, that is, within three months, he changed from a new reporter who knew nothing to an old reporter who knew all about financial policies, shopping mall dynamics and industrial knowledge.
In 1978, Business Times was published in Taiwan Province, China, and He Feipeng became a new reporter without any experience. At that time, competitor Economic Daily had been founded for more than 1 years. During the interview, the interviewee spoke in a few words, and the reporter of Economic Daily knew it well. However, He Feipeng was often blind and miserable because of lack of knowledge. Faced with this situation, he came up with the most stupid method, that is, reading the Economic Daily from the first word to the last word every day, not only the content, but also the advertisement. This is a boring, boring and painful process. The newspaper printed a lot of names of people, companies, industries and products, plus figures, professional knowledge and proper nouns ... In the first week, he couldn't understand half of them. What should we do? Read it three times and recite it first.
this stupid method has an excellent effect. After a month, He Feipeng roughly figured out the main names, companies and industries of the business community at that time, and also roughly grasped the focus events that were taking place at that time. By the time the Business Times was officially published, his basic economic knowledge and social trends were as good as those of the old reporters of the Economic Daily. The way for him to catch up with the old reporter for 1 years in three months is to work hard.
2. Earl Bree
At a large concert held in Paris, people were fascinated by the wonderful performance of the famous violinist Earl Bree. Suddenly, Bree, who was absorbed, felt a quiver-he found that one of the strings of the violin was broken. But after no more than two seconds of hesitation, he continued to play one song after another with a smile as if nothing had happened. The audience and Bree were immersed in those beautiful melodies, and the whole concert was a great success.
At the end, Earl Bree excitedly held up the violin curtain call, and the broken string fluttered conspicuously in mid-air. The audience responded with more warm applause in surprise and admiration, and paid deep respect to this musician who was calm and skilled.
facing the reporter's question "how can I stay so calm", Earl Bree said with a relaxed face, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a broken string, and I can continue playing with the remaining strings. This is many unfortunate lives that we are familiar with, and we can still be beautiful and regretless. "
Bree's wise answer is as wonderful as his outstanding performance-"It's just a broken string", which conveys to the world calmness, optimism, freedom and freedom, a belief that he won't lose his heart, a declaration of confidence of the strong who are in control of fate, and a proud response of the wise men who walk forward calmly in the face of those storms in the years.

IV. Lin Zhaoze
Lin Zhaoze is an out-and-out farmer, but he is constantly creating "myths": he began to teach himself to paint at the age of 45, and in just a few years, his charcoal paintings became popular at home and abroad; He has been to more than 1 colleges and universities to give lectures; Now, although I am over the age of ancient times, my ambition is undiminished, and I vowed to sing my own inspirational songs throughout the country.
Lin Zhaoze is 72 years old this year. In 1957, at the age of 17, due to family reasons, he had to give up the opportunity to go to school and farm at home. He once pulled a boat, lifted stones, worked as a cook for two years, a carpenter for eight years, and a mechanic for five years ... An accidental business trip brought Lin Zhaoze into contact with painting.
In 1985, Lin Zhaoze passed Zigong on a business trip, and was deeply attracted when he saw someone painting charcoal figures at a street painting booth. After returning to Nanchong, he bought a lot of professional books and devoted himself to research. When I first started to learn painting, Lin Zhaoze thought about making brushes because there were no brushes for drawing carbon paintings on the market. Apply glue to the brush, and after air drying naturally, cut out large and small pen tips with scissors. There was no material to smear shadows on a large area, so he stuffed cotton into an empty pen to make a smear tool and improved his painting tool in practice again and again.
He was self-taught, but he quickly worked miracles: in 1989, Lin Zhaoze took his work Portrait to the first China Self-employed "Glory Cup" painting and calligraphy photography exhibition jointly organized by China Artists Association, Calligraphers Association and Photographers Association, and won the third prize at the provincial level. CCTV also broadcast a close-up of Portrait. In 2, Sichuan Folk Art Association awarded him the certificate of "First Class Folk Artist (Carbon Fine Painting)". Later, he set up a painting booth on the streets of Nanchong City to paint portraits for others. This painting lasted for 8 years.

Lin Zhaoze never collects handout fees during his lectures and lectures. He and his family spent nearly 2, yuan on travel expenses, information expenses and rent, all at their own expense. Not only did he use up all the money he earned from painting stalls, but even the living expenses his children gave him were almost exhausted. Today, he and his wife still live in the Xiaoqing tile house left by their ancestors. Several Xiaoqing tile houses are broken and damp, which is in great contrast with the "Xiaoyanglou" of the surrounding villagers. In his home, a few simple pieces of furniture are still "antiques" from 2 to 3 years ago. His desk is also made of two wooden boxes, and his household clothes were given to him more than 1 years ago.
