It is said that stockdale is an American admiral. He was arrested for taking part in the war and spent eight years in a prison camp, during which he was abused by the Viet Cong. As the highest-ranking officer in the prison camp, he led his companions in various struggles with the Viet Cong to improve the treatment of American prisoners of war and increase their chances of release. After his release, stockdale's deeds were widely known, and he became a national hero in the United States. The famous management scientist Jim&; Middot Collins interviewed him.
Collins asked curiously, "Why did you survive that miserable eight-year life as a prisoner of war until you were finally released?"
Stockdale's answer is: "Because I never lose heart. I firmly believe that I will come out alive. This belief has always supported me. " (This answer seems quite common. )
Collins asked again, "Who didn't come out alive?"
Stockdale said: "It is very simple, of course, those optimists." Collins is completely confused now. )
Feeling Collins' confusion, stockdale continued: "Those optimists will say:&; Lsquo We must leave before Christmas. rsquo。 Christmas will come and then go. They said again:&; Lsquo We must leave before Easter. rsquo。 Easter has come and gone. Then Thanksgiving, then the next Christmas ..... and so on. Finally, those optimists died of depression. "
Finally, stockdale concluded:
This is a very important lesson &; You can't confuse faith with principle.
The belief is that you will succeed. Mdash& ampmdash This belief must not be lost.
The principle is: you must face the cruelest reality &; Mdash& ampmdash Whatever they are.

At this time, the expedition leader took out a kettle and said, "There is still a kettle of water here, but no one can drink it before crossing the desert."

Finally, the expedition stubbornly walked out of the desert and broke free from the hand of death.

He is a heartless man, addicted to alcohol and drugs. He once committed murder in a bar and was sentenced to life imprisonment because he didn't like a bartender.
He has two sons, the age difference is only 1 year. One of them was also very addicted to drugs and lived by stealing and extortion. Later, he was jailed for murder. The other son doesn't drink or take drugs. Not only is he happily married, but he has raised three lovely children. He also serves as the branch manager of a large enterprise. In a private interview, when asked about the reasons for their present situation, the two men gave the same answer: "What can I do with such an old man?"
There are two 70-year-old ladies. One thought that this age could be regarded as the end of life, so she began to take care of the aftermath. There is also an idea that what a person can do is not his age, but his idea. So, at the age of 70, she began to learn to climb mountains. In the next 25 years, I have been venturing to climb high mountains, several of which are world-famous. Just recently, she climbed Mount Fuji in Japan at the age of 95, breaking the record of the oldest person to climb this mountain. She is the famous Hu Da&; Bull; Mrs. cruise.
For thousands of years, humans have always thought that it is impossible to run a mile (about 1609 meters) in four minutes. But in 1954. Roger & Bull; Bannister broke this belief barrier.
He was able to create such success, thanks to physical training and spiritual breakthrough. Before that, he had repeatedly simulated running a mile in four minutes in his mind. After a long time, he formed a very firm belief, so he gave an absolute order to the nervous system and must complete this mission. He did what everyone thought impossible. No one expected that in the two years after bannister broke the record, nearly 400 people entered the list.
Heart: These stories tell us that human beings will subjectively give some meaning to the encounters in life. Positive beliefs can make people regain their broken hearts and move on, while negative beliefs are likely to ruin people's lives.

Legend has it that they met a fairy by chance. The fairy taught them how to make wine, and told them to choose rice that was ripe and full on the day of Duanyang, blend it with the water drops of alpine waterfalls and flowing springs when the ice and snow first melted, pour it into a pottery urn made of Millennium purple sand, and then tightly wrap it with the first lotus flower bathed in the morning light, and seal it for 749 days until the cock crowed three times in the early morning.
They, like every legendary hero, remember the secret recipe of the immortals, go through all kinds of hardships, trudge through Qian Shan, sleep in the wind, find all the necessary materials, reconcile and seal their dreams and expectations together, and then concentrate on waiting for that exciting and doomed moment.
Time goes by day, what a long guardian. On the forty-ninth day, the wine that was about to open the urn kept them awake all night. They pricked up their ears all night to hear chickens crow. Finally, the first long and tall crow came in the distance. After a long time, there was a second sound, slow and deep. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. He gave up his patience and couldn't wait to open the clay pot. As a result, he was shocked &; mdash& ampmdash
There is a pool of water in it, which is turbid, yellow, sour as vinegar, bitter as gall, and has an unpleasant smell &; Why does hellip& amphellip ... He regrets, but everything is irreversible, even if he stomps, regrets and sighs. Finally, he just spilled water on the ground in disappointment.
The other man, though his desire was burning like wildfire, was barbecued several times. He wanted to reach out and lift the lid of the urn, but just as he was about to reach out, he gritted his teeth and held on tight until the third cock crow resounded through the sky, Ran Ran, a red sun in the East, and Ran Ran rose &; Mdash& ampmdash, what clear, sweet and refreshing dew!
Yes, the only difference between many winners and losers is often not more labor and tireless blood and sweat, nor how smart and resourceful they are, but their tenacity and patience, and the moment they persist &; Mdash& ampmdash Sometimes it's a year, sometimes it's a day, sometimes it's just a crow.

The road is still yesterday's road, but the milestone is new; The song is still yesterday's song, but today it is more beautiful; The sun is still yesterday's sun, but it radiates new light. When we look at the first sunrise in the East, should we ask ourselves: Is my dream still alive, and is my heart still flying? We once had glory, but it became a sweet memory on the pillow; Perhaps, we suffered setbacks, but became a few bitter tears. Forget the past successes and failures, we just need to engrave our experiences and lessons in our hearts and let the glory of the past inspire us. Past failures are just to set off future successes.
For the ideal of dreams, for the success of life, we have no excuse, we have no reason; We have to work hard and struggle.
