Many people complain that their life is not good: why are some people born in rich families, but they are born in poor families; Why are some people born in developed big cities, but born in poor mountain villages with inconvenient transportation ... These unfairness are arranged by God, and we can't choose, but God has also opened a door for each of us. As long as you find this door, you can change your destiny. This door is learning, and learning can change fate.
Why can learning change fate? Normal babies with good environment and poor conditions have the same physiological structure, that is, they stand at the same starting line at birth. Then why will there be a gap between them after a few years? The former works in a comfortable office with high salary, while the latter works in the scorching sun with little income. What is the reason? Excluding some minor factors (such as relationships), a person's treatment in society is mainly related to his contribution to society, which depends on knowledge and ability, and the means to acquire knowledge and ability is learning. In other words, it is not your birth environment that determines your destiny, but your knowledge and ability.
It is true that people from poor backgrounds can't enjoy a good education because of the restrictions of guest conditions, but this can be made up by efforts. Because others have good teachers and teaching equipment, it seems unfair that you can remember a word for 15 minutes. You spend five minutes more than others, but it's not. In this learning process, you have cultivated the spirit of struggle and tempered your will. Through your efforts and more efforts, when you stand on the same starting line with others (such as the same study or work environment), the spirit and will you have cultivated before make it easy for you to surpass those who come from superior environments. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that some excellent talents are often people from poor backgrounds.
Whenever I stand on the podium and see students who are dressed simply but listen attentively, whenever I meet migrant workers with dark faces and some dust and sweat stains on their clothes reading in the bookstore, I feel respected. This is because God is unfair and makes them grow up in an intolerant environment, but they are unwilling to change their destiny! I believe that as long as they persist, God will give them a good fate.
Don't worry that your environment is worse than others. What really determines your destiny is not the environment, but your knowledge and ability. The means to acquire knowledge and ability is learning. As long as you realize this and start studying hard, your fate will begin to change!

Inspirational life of successful people in the world
On each of us, there will always be a key person in a critical period. This person may be your parents, or your teacher or friend. What he said seems ordinary, but it can make you remember it and never forget it. Ordinary people are like this, and successful people are no exception. "One day you will understand that kindness is more difficult than cleverness." Jeff Bezos, president of Amazon, the world's largest online bookstore, used to drive with his grandparents during the summer vacation when he was a child. 10 years old, Bezos traveled with his grandparents. On the way to travel, he saw a non-smoking advertisement, saying that every time a smoker smokes, his life expectancy will be shortened by two minutes. It happens that Bezos' grandmother also smokes and has been smoking for 30 years. So Bezos was smart and began to count the number of times grandma smoked. The result of calculation is that grandma's life expectancy will be shortened by smoking 16 years. Grandma burst into tears when he proudly told her the result. Grandfather saw this scene, called Bezos out of the car, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Son, one day you will understand that kindness is more difficult than cleverness." Grandfather's words were only 19, but Bezos will never forget them. Since then, he has been following his grandfather's instructions. "Go back and face them bravely. There is no room for cowards in our family." When Hillary Clinton, the former first lady of the United States, was 4 years old, her family moved from other places and lived in Puckridge, a suburb of Chicago. After coming to the new environment, lively Hillary was eager to make new friends, but she soon found that it was not easy. Whenever she goes outside to play, the children in the neighborhood either laugh at her, bully her, sometimes push her or knock her to the ground. At this time, she will run home crying and never leave the house again. After several weeks of quiet observation, when Hillary ran home crying again, Hillary's mother finally stood at the door and blocked her way. Mother said to her loudly, "Go back and face them bravely. There is no room for cowards in our family. " Hillary is going out of the house again, which surprised the children who bullied her. They didn't expect the little girl to come back so soon. Finally, Hillary finally won new friends with her courage. In the years to come, whenever she encounters difficulties and setbacks, Hillary will summon up courage and boldly meet the challenges. "You can lose your wealth, but you must never lose your character." Valtin Gregorian, former president of Brown University and now president of Carnegie Foundation, had a very unhappy childhood. His mother died of illness when he was 6 years old. It was his grandmother who brought him up in the mountains of Iran. Gregory's grandmother is also an unfortunate woman. She lost all her children because of war and disease. Although fate is unfair to her, she has not lost confidence in life. In order to get Gregory out of the shadow of losing his loved ones and grow up healthily and happily, his grandmother often taught him: "Son, there are two things that must be remembered. The first is fate, which is beyond your control; The second is your personality, which you can control. You can lose your beauty, your health and your wealth, but you must never lose your character because it is in your own hands. " Grandma's words played a key role in Gregory's growth. "If a thing is worth doing, it must be done well." Walter cronkite is a famous TV news program host in the United States. He has been interested in news since he was a child. 14 years old, became a small reporter of the school's own newspaper "Campus News". Fred Bernie is the news editor of a daily newspaper in Houston. He teaches an hour-long news course in Cronkite's school every week and directs the editing of campus news. Once, Cronkite was responsible for writing an article about Karp Harding, the school track and field coach. Cronkite wrote a perfunctory article and handed it in because there was a class reunion that day. The next day, Fred called Cronkite to his office alone, pointed to the article and said, "Cronkite, this article is terrible." You didn't ask him the right questions, didn't give him a comprehensive report, and you didn't even know what he did. " Then, he added a sentence that Cronkite will never forget: "Cronkite, you must remember that if something is worth doing, you must do it well." During her 70-year journalism career, Cronkite always kept in mind Mr. Fred's teachings and remained loyal to journalism. "What boys can do, girls can definitely do it." The mother of Ms. Andrea Jung, the female president of Ms. Andrea Jung Avon Company, is an excellent woman. She studied at the University of Toronto in Canada in her early years. At that time, she was the only girl majoring in chemistry in her class. Ms. Andrea Jung's mother wants her daughter to be as independent as she is. Therefore, she often teaches Ms. Andrea Jung: "What a boy can do, a girl can do. As long as you work hard, women can reach the top in any field. " Ms. Andrea Jung will always remember this sentence from his mother. In Avon, she succeeded step by step and eventually became one of the six female presidents of Fortune 500 companies. Of course, on the way forward, Ms. Andrea Jung encountered many difficulties and obstacles, such as being despised because of her youth and gender. But her mother's firm confidence in herself, her daughter and all women has always supported Ms. Andrea Jung to overcome these obstacles and forge ahead. Ms. Andrea Jung is very happy to have such a precious family fortune. "Just go to work and go home with the money." Toni Morrison is a famous American black woman writer. 1993 won the Nobel Prize in Literature. When Morrison was a teenager, because of her poor family, she had to go to a rich family to do odd jobs for several hours every day after school, which was very hard. One day, she complained to her father about her work. Hearing this, her father said to her, "Listen, you don't live there. You live here. At home, with your relatives. Just go to work and go home with money. " Morrison later recalled that from her father's words, she learned four lessons in life: first, do a good job, not for your boss, but for yourself; Second, grasp your own work, and don't let it catch you; Third, your real life is with your family; You and your job are two different things. You are the person you should be. After that, Morrison worked for all kinds of people: some were smart, others were stupid; Some are broad-minded and some are narrow-minded. But she never complained again. "God has only given you many minutes in life, so you must make good use of every minute." Hamilton is a famous figure skater in America. His mother is just an ordinary middle school teacher, but she cherishes time and makes full use of every minute to study hard. Later, she finally became an associate professor in the Department of Marriage and Family at Bowling Green University. She often said to Hamilton, "God has given you only a few minutes of life, and it is limited. From the day you were born, you only have so many minutes to live, so you must make good use of every minute. " In a person's life, we are free to choose how to deal with every minute we have every day. You either spend it in cafes and bars, or in research rooms and sports fields. Influenced by his mother, Hamilton also cherished time and grasped every minute of training. Hard work and sweat finally paid off handsomely. He is in 198 1? 1984 won the world championship four times in a row. "No matter what you do, you have to pay 150% effort." Carlos Santana is a world-class guitarist.

" . But your art has many' excellent' achievements. I can see that you have a talent for painting, and I can see that you are a musical genius. If you want to be an artist, then I can take you to visit the Academy of Fine Arts in San Francisco to let you know the challenges you are facing. "A few days later, knudsen really took the whole class to visit the San Francisco Academy of Fine Arts. There, Santana saw with her own eyes how others painted and deeply felt the huge gap between herself and them. Mr. Knudsen told him, "People who are absent-minded and don't make progress can't get in here at all. No matter what you do or want to do, you have to pay 150% effort. "knudsen's words deeply influenced Santana and became his motto. In 2000, Santana won eight Grammy music awards for her album Supernatural. The principle of adjusting herself with the changes of the times, but keeping the same "Jimmy Carter When Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, was in middle school, Miss Julia Coleman was his class teacher. She encouraged Carter to study music, art and especially literature, and made a reading list for him. Miss Julia cares about every student in the class. She told them: "We should adjust ourselves with the changes of the times, but the principles we abide by are unchanged." When he grew up, Carter had a deeper understanding of Miss Julia's words. What Miss Julia wants to tell her students is that we should always analyze new situations. However, whether we choose a lifelong partner or make difficult decisions in difficult times, test times or when we are tempted, we should not only adapt to these new challenges, but also adhere to some principles we have learned, such as fairness, honesty and loyalty. Carter will never forget Miss Julia's words and always stick to the basic principles he learned from Miss Julia and her parents. In the inaugural speech of the president, he quoted Miss Julia as saying: "Adjust yourself with the changes of the times, but stick to the same principle. No matter how difficult we face, I am determined to keep myself and the American people loyal to the beliefs of justice and truth. "

Inspire everyone
People are very interesting. They are different and complicated. It is always challenging to let them give full play to their best abilities.
Your people are driven by different reasons. You can't use one person's reason to motivate another person. Isn't it easy to be a leader if you can?
The respected Swiss psychologist carl jung said:
* 80% of us are driven by desire;
* 20% of us are driven by what we don't want.
We may be moving in the same direction, but the reasons for inciting it are quite different.
For example, ask members of a working group why they should work hard to achieve their sales and production budgets. People who are "driven by desire" will explain that they want to:
* Be encouraged;
* Get a sense of accomplishment;
* Hear the big boss publicly recognize them.
People who "do what they don't want to do" will say that they don't want to:
* Missed opportunities for encouragement;
* regarded as "ordinary people";
* Put up with other groups' bragging.
As a leader, if you can speak two inspiring languages, you can inspire the whole team to move in the same direction for different reasons.
What needs to be reminded here is that the success of those who are "driven by what they don't want" will be inhibited. Because the human brain can't handle negative goals. Our brains need positive goals.
For example, in driving school, the teacher teaches you to watch the road. If you always look at the center line of the road, you are likely to cross the line.
When you return to your career, you should encourage them in your own way and direction and guide them to pay proper attention to positive goals. In this way, they will become your excellent men.

Facing the college entrance examination, I will fight to the last drop of blood.
It's really cold, the sky is blue as water, and the wind in Beijing is impenetrable, which still makes people shudder. 10 October 1, I went to Xiangshan. The leaves are not red yet, but they are all pale yellow in the distance. Blowing the wind and thinking about past stories, it can be said that everyone is actually very ordinary. I still remember that ten years ago, such a book "Waiting for you in Peking University" opened my ignorant mind. I still remember at that time, I didn't yearn for holiness. Silent running water diluted my unclear juvenile memory, and my relationship with Peking University began with that book. ...
There is a dream in front of me, distant and vague, and I am heading for misty hope and unknown darkness.
Along the way from ignorance, the memory of childhood is broken, with a lot of bitterness. I don't want to recall or answer. After that ignorant day, I opened my eyes slightly and looked ahead. What was in the distance was still distant and vague. Through fantasy and naivety, I worked hard alone, and the image in front of me gradually became clear, and the unreachable ideal gradually took shape. I entered high school.
High school life is very depressing. I constantly accept setbacks and failures. Perhaps, this is how people progress.
Once, the results were so repeated that my confidence in the future was shaken;
Once, I participated in the Chemistry Olympiad, with only 1 point, which missed the first prize.
Once, my heart was very fragile and I couldn't study at ease when I was frustrated;
On one occasion, I looked at my classmates' good grades and looked at myself when I was envious, and my head was lowered;
I was a mess in high school. I have never won the first and second place in the exam, so I can only try my best to keep the bottom line. In addition to setbacks, perhaps, I also have success and pride:
On one occasion, I did experiments and sorted out reports, and I forgot to eat and sleep for three days and nights;
Once, I bet with my classmates that I was fined for running on the playground. I was crazy for a week. I did more than 40 sets of questions to beat my classmate and made him run more than 20 laps.
Once, skipping classes and playing billiards before the college entrance examination did not delay learning;
Once, I had too many times. ...
Suddenly I looked up, and my hand finally touched the lamp in front of me-the unnamed Peking University.
Now I think there is nothing in studying in high school. Everything is inevitable because of those accidents and specialities. When we admire or envy someone, we should act according to higher standards more and more. As a singer, I like Chyi Chin's artistic temperament, but I don't like the pallor of F4 and other idols. As a star, I like Garnett's perseverance, but I don't like Kobe's vanity. As a scholar, I like wiles's years of obscurity and hard work, but I don't like scholars to give up research and appear on TV. The same motto, I yearn for the truth of "fight to the last drop of blood"; The same is poetry, and I like the heroism of "being able to fight three thousand miles in one water"; Also a great man, I lamented Mao Zedong's verve. Really, everything, there are always some internal qualities that support us to move forward. Some people will graduate in the future, and there will be some special stories, some things they want to say and some things they don't want to say, but behind everything, there are intersections that we can see. Who knows whether we need special or necessity? We thought we were ordinary, but we were never ordinary.
I looked back and saw everything in the past. It's just a cloud I don't want to think about it anymore, and I don't need to think about it anymore. Entering the campus, all of a sudden, I feel very fresh, as if a clean stream rushed into the campus. [China Inspirational Network] Peking University is not as gorgeous as expected, but it is very fresh. The sense of vastness here wraps my heart tightly. It's true, my heart will settle here, too. The world is too vast for me to watch. Ahead, there is a new sky.
The air here is fresh and the pond here is sweet. Before I was fully integrated here, I was firmly attracted by that powerful force. Every inch of land and every leaf here seems to exude a kind of cultural atmosphere, which I can't read. Here, I am a newcomer. Maybe one day, when I am an old student, I will still feel this way. I can't read it. Here, I am just an ordinary person wrapped tightly by the unnamed atmosphere of Peking University.
There are many things that words can't express, just like the feeling of being told by the teacher in class. In the triangle, I saw the "Hundred Regiments War". What's the feeling behind it ... In the next class, the students hurried all the way, what's the feeling ... In the unnamed lake, I looked at the colorful lakes and towers, how did it feel ... In the quality development training, I stood at 7.
Now, I find that there are too many unexplained mysteries and too much to learn.
Language is pale, isn't it? Many things, we need to think slowly.
I should learn to look to the future. Peking University has given me not only an honor, some opportunities, but also something I have to study hard. My heart is here, and so is my dream. At the same time, my brothers and sisters, don't regret gradually widening your belts for your own hearts and dreams, so that people will languish for Iraq. Maybe one day, I will wait for you here, so you have to fight to the last drop of blood!
