A group of little girls are practicing diving. When all the children have bravely jumped off the three-meter platform, only one little girl didn't jump.
The little girl is beautiful, but panic is written on her face. The teacher is encouraging, and the students around him are also encouraging. But she's just scared. Tears have been shed with fear. The teacher seems to have lost patience with the little girl and said discontentedly, "The class will be over in a few minutes."
The little girl's legs trembled even more. But she took a small step back with difficulty. Another big step forward. Looked under the pool, three meters high. Suddenly, people around saw her jump with her eyes closed. The splash was high, but the applause rang.
"Angela, we are all proud of you! How did you overcome your timidity? " A friend named Migina next to her asked her.
The 12-year-old girl named Angela has wiped away her tears and put on her clothes. She said slowly in a trembling voice, "I suddenly remembered something my father said. He said that in difficult times, close your eyes and take a step forward. "
Angela's father is very strict with her. I hope she can stand out among her peers, and she has never forgotten what her father taught her. In every way, I work hard. Even in the worst sports, she persisted. Because of this belief, Angela has made rapid progress in her studies, especially in science. She participated in the National Olympic Mathematics Competition twice, and her math teacher once commented, "I have never seen a girl like her in my math class. She is really rare. Strong logic, strong analytical ability and very concentrated attention. "
At the age of thirty-two, Angela got a doctorate in physics. At the same time, this young man, who usually leads all the way in academic performance and seems a little conservative in life, has started another outstanding side of her, that is, showing extreme concern and concern for politics, and the political glory that belongs to her from this. She is Angela Merkel, the first female chancellor and the youngest chancellor in German history. A female politician who has been neglected for a long time and is called a little gray mouse by many people.
When a reporter asked her why she persisted in the end and won, Merkel smiled. She said that she suddenly remembered the diving when she was a child. The timid little girl finally got up the courage to take a step forward. "I want to thank my father well, because when I face difficulties, she will repeat this sentence. When you are worried about things and there is no progress, please don't stop your trembling feet. Please take one more step, just one step.
