Liz Murray is a clever woman. She constantly breaks through difficulties, gets a new life, and then goes to success.
On the other side of the earth, in an ancient and modern oriental country, there is also a woman who is famous for her intellectual elegance and gentle wisdom. She has achieved success in her career with her fighting spirit and hard work, and won people's love with her wisdom and elegance.
Her name is Yang Lan.
She is the person who stood on the variety stage in Zheng Da more than 20 years ago. When her career was booming, she resolutely gave up her grades and went abroad to study. She is a well-known host, media person, social activist and, of course, a businessman with a cultural background.
She once wrote a book called "The world is really big, thanks to you" and sincerely shared the story of her life. She talked about her marriage and her understanding of success and happiness.
She told her female friends in front of the TV screen: live in this world affectionately and firmly. Although the world will be full of all kinds of disappointments, hope will always be in your own hands. Sometimes the road of life seems to be impossible, but if you still don't give up your efforts, maybe the road will come out.
Yang Lan, 1968 was born in Beijing on March 30th, and had to be sent to her grandmother's house in Shanghai to be taken care of by her grandmother. I remember on a TV program, Yang Lan also shared a little story of her childhood.
When I was at my grandmother's house, my grandmother gave her little pocket money every day. At that time, Yang Lan liked to eat a kind of plum blossom, and every pocket money was basically bought with plum blossom to satisfy his own desire. But one day, when she was walking, she accidentally fell down and lost her coin. She cried in the street looking for change.
At this time, an old woman came, asked why, and took out a bag of dried plums and gave it to Yang Lan. Many years later, when Yang Lan recalled this childhood, she was still very emotional and grateful. She said that the warmth from strangers really made her unforgettable.
When Yang Lan hosted the program, it was not difficult for us to find the kindness and warmth she brought to people.
At the scene of a program, an excellent young doctor stood on the stage and accidentally read the wrong word, very nervous. Just when the audience was puzzled, Yang Lan said: "This doctor is not only superb in medical skills, but also can be a host on stage. As for me, I can't even get a scalpel when I get off the stage. " The audience expressed their support and encouragement to Yang Lan and the young doctor with laughter and applause. Of course, these warm scenes have happened many times in Yang Lan's life experience.
A person's heart is full of temperature, and her words and deeds will bring warmth to others, which is also the embodiment of self-restraint and quality. And this kind of accomplishment and quality is inseparable from a person's family environment and growth experience.
Yang Lan's parents are intellectuals and his father is an English teacher at Beijing Foreign Studies University. Yang Lan's home is always full of warm atmosphere of tolerance and intimacy. Children talk to adults on an equal footing, and adults respond to children's questions. At that time, this kind of parent-child relationship can be said to be very relaxed. However, Yang Lan's parents are very strict with her education. Yang Lan's father tells stories to Yang Lan every day, and makes Yang Lan understand various truths through stories. Whenever he encounters a problem that he doesn't understand, Yang Lan always asks his father to explain it well.
At that time, there was a small garden behind Yang Lan's window. Although the garden is small and there are not many kinds of plants, it is simply a paradise for children to play games. For Yang Lan, it's just the right time to get in touch with nature in this small garden.
In this small garden, Yang Lan got to know some flowers and kept an observation diary every day. The ordinary flowers and plants in the eyes of these adults have aroused Yang Lan's curiosity. In the process of observing plants, her personality is more calm and alert.
Talking about the little things when I was a child, Yang Lan can't hide her gratitude to her parents. Although Yang Lan's parents are strict with her education, the family atmosphere is equal and open. Faced with some problems, Yang Lan holds her own different views, and her parents also respect her choice.
When I was in middle school, Yang Lan's mother was in poor health, so Yang Lan took on the housework at home: washing clothes, cooking, buying vegetables and even changing gas. These chores have cultivated Yang Lan's sense of responsibility, and her independent spirit has gradually emerged in her seemingly busy and heavy life.
While other girls are still immersed in their studies, Yang Lan has understood what commitment is. Excellence in her eyes is no longer just "good academic performance", but can take care of her own life and take care of others. This commitment and sense of responsibility to the family has laid a good foundation for the success of Yang Lan's career. Moreover, even after finishing the busy housework, Yang Lan didn't put down her homework. She still likes reading and thinking. She said that she is not a talented player, so she must work harder.
The habit of loving reading, Yang Lan said, has existed since childhood. Yang Lan's father not only told her stories and read to her, but also guided her to choose her favorite books and encouraged her to get in touch with the outside world and new knowledge from an early age.
It is under the influence of such a family environment that Yang Lan realized that it is really important for a girl to read more books. Because every book we read can enrich our hearts, become nourishment for the soul and become social capital. More importantly, good books are always with us, which can encourage us when we are in trouble and comfort us when we are lost. A good book is a good teacher and friend, which can teach people a lot of philosophy of life and bring people spiritual shock and ideological changes.
Yang Lan's lover, Mr. Wu Zhi, said that Yang Lan is a particularly stubborn person. As long as she is determined to do something, no one can stop her.
Girls' stubbornness may sometimes bring them all kinds of troubles. But we can still be a little stubborn. Where does this confidence come from? This is inseparable from their own abilities, ideas, requirements for life and so on. When we say that a girl is stubborn and has ideas about her life, it actually implies that this girl has a clear choice about her life direction.
I remember a friend joked before that the so-called difficulty in choosing was simply because there was not much money in my pocket and I hesitated when I bought something. Hesitation when shopping is not a big problem. However, when we are always hesitant in the face of life choices, it is easy to lose many opportunities for development. The fundamental reason for this "difficult choice" in the face of life choices lies in our lack of sense of direction in life. To put it bluntly, we don't know what we want.
So whether Yang Lan is stubborn or persistent has her own reasons. Her accurate grasp of her life direction is her greatest confidence. And where does this confidence come from? According to Yang Lan, this confidence comes from his commitment to life, his expectation for the future and his uncompromising attitude towards difficulties.
As women, we should believe that those difficulties that cannot overwhelm us will become our courage to overcome them.
When difficulties strike, should we abandon our helmet and armor and be defeated in the face of difficulties, or should we be strong and face the difficulties with a sunny smile of gerbera?
How to choose depends on whether our inner support is solid enough. The more girls look forward to their future, the more demanding they are about their lives, and the less likely they are to shrink back and be afraid when facing obstacles and difficulties.
