In America, a poor young man sticks to his dream wholeheartedly even though all his money is not enough to buy a decent suit. He wants to be an actor, make a movie and be a star.

At that time, he visited 500 film companies in Hollywood with his own written and tailor-made script, according to his own route and arranged list order. But for the first time, none of the 500 film companies wanted to hire him.

Faced with 100% rejection, the young man didn't lose heart. After the accident at the last rejected film company, he went back to start with the first one and continue his second visit.

On his second visit, he was rejected 500 times.

The end of the third round of visits remains the same as that of the second round. The young man gritted his teeth and started his fourth move. When he visited 349 houses, the boss of 350 film company promised him to leave the script for reading first.

A few days later, I informed the young man and asked him to discuss it in detail.

In this discussion, the company decided to invest in filming and asked the young man to play the leading role.

The film is called Rocky. This young man is called Sylvester Stallone.

Turn over the history of any movie, this movie called Rocky and this future superstar who will be popular all over the world are on the list.

Do you have the courage to face the rejection of 1849? Have you ever experienced 1849 rejection? If not, don't say: Why didn't good luck come to me!

Peter has known Albert for several years. On one occasion, Albert told Peter a story that he would never forget:

I used to be a dissatisfied person, so I was unhappy all day. But in the spring of 1934, when I was walking on Daofei Street in Pei Wei, I witnessed one thing, which made all my troubles disappear. It happened in 10 second, and I learned more in this 10 second than in the previous 10 year.

I opened a grocery store in Pei Wei for two years. Not only did I lose all my savings, but I was also heavily in debt. Just last Saturday, my grocery store finally closed. At that time, I was getting a loan from the bank, and I was going back to my hometown to find a job. I walk like a lifeless person, because I have lost my faith and fighting spirit.

Suddenly I saw a man without legs coming and sitting on a wooden board with wheels. He walked down the street with a stick in one hand. Hardly had he crossed the road when I met him. He was sliding to the sidewalk, and our eyes met. He greeted me with a smile: "Good morning, sir! The weather is fine, isn't it? " His voice is so infectious and full of energy, as if he is not a physically handicapped person at all.

When I stood there looking at him, I felt how rich I was I have two legs. I can walk. But in the face of his confident eyes, I think I am a disabled person! I said to myself: since he can be happy without legs, of course I can be happy. Because I have legs!

I feel suddenly enlightened. I wanted to borrow 100 from the bank, but now I have the courage to borrow 200 from the bank. I originally wanted to ask someone to help me find something to do in my hometown, but now I confidently announced that I would find a good job in Kansas City. Finally, I borrowed money and found a job.

I wrote down the feelings of this experience in a few words and posted it on the mirror in my bathroom. Every morning when I shave, I will read it out loud:

I am depressed because I have no shoes.

Until I met a man in the street-he had no feet!

A philosopher expressed the great wisdom of mankind in extremely concise words. He said: "there are only two purposes in life: first, to get what you want;" Second, enjoy what you get. "In real life, only a few people can do the second point well.

Bill works in a car company. Unfortunately, a machine failure caused his right eye to be injured, and soon this eye became blind.

Bill used to be a very optimistic man, but now he has become a man of few words. He is afraid of going to the street because people always ask him why he is blind.

Bill's holiday has been extended again and again. His wife Tess pays all the family expenses, and she also works part-time in the evening. He cares about this family very much. He loves his husband. He wants the whole family to live the same life as before. Tess thought it was only a matter of time before the shadow in her husband's heart disappeared.

But to make matters worse, Bill's vision in the other eye was also affected. On a sunny morning, when Bill asked his wife who was playing football in the yard, Tess looked at her husband and son in surprise. In the past, my son could see farther.

Tess said nothing, but went into her husband and hugged his head gently.

Bill said, "honey, I know what will happen in the future." I have realized it. " Tess's tears brushed down.

In fact, Tess knew the consequences for a long time, but she was afraid that her husband could not stand the blow and asked the doctor not to tell him the truth.

Unexpectedly, when Bill knew he was going blind, he was much calmer, even Tess was surprised.

Tess knew that Bill's days were numbered, and she wanted to leave something for her husband. She dresses herself and her son beautifully every day and often goes to beauty salons. No matter how sad she is in front of Bill, Tess always tries to smile.

A few months later, Bill said, "Tess, I find your new skirt has become so old!" " Tess said, "Really?" With that, Tess ran to a corner where Bill couldn't see and began to cry in a low voice. The color of his clothes is very dazzling in the sun.

Tess thought, what else can she leave for her husband?

The next day, Tess invited a painter. He wants to paint all the furniture and walls at home, so that Bill will always be a new home.

The painter worked very hard while whistling. After working for a week, he finally painted all the furniture and walls in a new look.

In the meantime, the painter also knew about Bill. He said to bill, "I'm sorry I worked too slowly, but I'm glad I finally finished painting."

Bill said, "I am very happy that you are so happy every day."

When calculating the salary, the painter swept out $65,438+000, and Bill said, "You underestimated the salary."

The painter said, "I took too many pictures." A person waiting for blindness is still so calm. You tell me what courage is. "

But Bill insisted on giving the painter $65,438+000. Bill said: "I also know that disabled people can support themselves and live so happily."

The painter has only one hand.

In Boston, there is a baseball team, and its audience has been very small. Support for them is weak, and their performance is poor. However, later they arrived in Milwaukee, where the citizens were very enthusiastic about the new team, and the baseball field was crowded with people. They were very concerned about the team and believed that the team would win.

The enthusiasm, optimism and trust of the citizens gave this baseball team great encouragement and jumped to the top of the league almost the next year. They are still the original team, but they have unprecedented strength within this team, so they have played an unprecedented level. The enthusiasm of the audience injected fresh blood into the baseball team and created miracles for them.

Many people have a sense of inferiority, often underestimate themselves, lose confidence in themselves and lack enthusiasm. In fact, everyone should believe that their health, energy and endurance have great potential, and this self-confidence will help you a lot. If you love yourself, it will help you succeed.

It is not enough for a person to have a little enthusiasm, but to enhance it.

So, how can we enhance our enthusiasm?

Optimism-the basic attitude of life 19 14 One night in February, Edison, the great inventor, caught fire in his factory in Orange, New Jersey, USA, with serious losses, and nearly one million dollars of equipment and most of his research records were destroyed. The next morning, 67-year-old Edison rushed to the scene of the fire. Some people imagine that if his hopes and ideals are reduced to ashes, he will be furious. But Edison was calm. He said: "Disaster is also good. All our mistakes have burned out, and now we can start over. " His words illustrate a truth: any situation, good or bad, is influenced by our attitude towards it. A strong-willed optimist always holds a hopeful attitude when facing many problems, and will become stronger when encountering changes. It is not difficult to understand the profound meaning of his statement that "my success was achieved through failure all the way".
