Les Browne 1
Les Brown, a famous American inspirational master, has a thick cocoon on his left ear.
Brown is not a lucky boy. He was abandoned by his parents as soon as he was born and was listed as a "mentally retarded child who can still receive education".
He has too many reasons to give up on himself.
However, he met a "noble person" in middle school-a teacher who loved him.
The teacher told him, "Don't think you really are just because others say you are.".
This seemingly ordinary sentence completely changed Brown's fate.
Brown insisted that the green hills never fail. He decided to devote himself to the speech industry and shouted for help for every unfortunate person who was mercilessly teased by the blind goddess of fate like him.
Brown knows very well what a difficult road he has chosen. He said: "I have no extraordinary qualifications, no extraordinary personal charm and no extraordinary experience, so I have to call people all day."
I make more than 100 calls every day, asking others to give me a chance to speak there. "
In this way, after a long time, Brown's left ear was calloused by the microphone.
Everything comes as scheduled: applause, flowers, honor, money ... Brown has become the most popular motivational speaker in the United States today, and his speech fee is as high as $20,000 per hour.

Eric could feel rock fragments peeling off from under the ice cone and hear the echo of them falling into the abyss of ice and snow.

After being punished, I tried to commit suicide because of humiliation and pain, but I can think that my ideal of writing history books has not been completed.
So I swallowed my pride and rose up to resist, which lasted 18 years and was finally written as Historical Records.
This masterpiece has a total of 526,500 words.

183 1 year 12.27 Darwin finally boarded the naval research ship beagle and traveled around the world for five years, making a lot of observations and collections in animals, plants and geology. After comprehensive discussion, the concept of biological evolution was formed.
1859, he published the Origin of Species, which shocked the academic circles at that time.
