An example of success after setbacks 1: If you can't run, you can fly in a wheelchair.
10 years ago, in a primary school in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, there was a little girl named Chen Si. She likes running. At the age of 12, she has won numerous honors for the school in track and field competitions. Becoming a long-distance runner is Chen Si's biggest dream.
But fate always seems to play jokes on people with ideals. On the way to school, a car accident took her legs forever, and Chen Si's running dream was completely broken!
Chen Si, who was lively and cheerful, suddenly became silent. Watching her classmates run and play heartily, her young mind has an indescribable pain. After a long period of loneliness and inferiority, Chen Si finished his high school studies. After graduation, all her classmates found suitable jobs, but she was rejected by dozens of job applications. Chen Si shut himself in his room in despair and helplessness, and gradually lost the courage to continue living. On one occasion, she cut her wrist three times in a row. Fortunately, she was found by her family in time and sent to the hospital before she came back to life. After waking up in the hospital bed, she cried with her family in her arms.
Later, a leader of Taiyuan Disabled Persons' Federation came to see her and drove Chen Si out to play. At that time, Chen Si made many disabled friends. They are all in wheelchairs. Some of them can play the violin well, some can write good handwriting, and some even take part in labor processing. In the conversation with them, a long-lost smile appeared on Chen Si's face, and she thought: I will definitely find something suitable for myself! ?
Shortly thereafter, Chen Si saw an American disabled person's performance on the Internet? Wheelchair dance? Video of. Wheelchair dance is a kind of dance performed by disabled people with the help of healthy partners. It rose in Britain in the 1960s, and was later identified as a disabled sport by the International Paralympic Games. Although this kind of dance has been very popular in Europe, America, South Korea and Japan in Asia, it is still a new term in China. Seeing the graceful dancing of the dancers in the video, Chen Si was very excited: Since I can't run, why not dance in a wheelchair?
In this way, Chen Si quietly followed the video to learn wheelchair dance. Although she doesn't have a partner, many actions that she can complete independently still make her practice properly. She also often participates in the activities of helping the disabled at the provincial and municipal levels, and her life is gradually enriched.
From June 5438 to February 2008, an exciting news made Chen Si really have an indissoluble bond with dance. China Paralympic Sports Management Center will recruit wheelchair dancers in Shanxi Province in the future. Disabled Persons' Federation submitted Chen Si to Beijing to participate in the national wheelchair dance training and selection. Chen Si shouted excitedly.
Chen Si only attended a three-day dance training in Beijing, and obtained the qualification with excellent results. However, just before the competition started, she didn't even have her own partner. When Chen Si came home, he had to worry. At this moment, a man named Sun Hao entered the world of Chen Si. He is a young man with 65,438+05 years of Latin dance experience. He overheard something about Chen Si, so he decided to help this strong girl with ideals and pursuits realize her dream.
Training started soon, and Chen Si kept practicing for more than ten hours every day. Because Chen Si often grabs the high-speed rotating wheel in an instant, her hand is scratched and covered with blood bubbles. On one occasion, Sun Hao pulled Chen Si around, but because he didn't grasp the strength, he threw Chen Si out together with the wheelchair. However, Chen Si, who was falling stars at that time, smiled and comforted him and said, Never mind, this pain is nothing! ? Chen Si practiced from beginning to end, but never thought of giving up because of it. She gritted her teeth and insisted. It is because of this hard training that Chen Si's dancing skills have been improved rapidly.
On March 20th, 2009, the International Wheelchair Dance Open started in Beijing. Chen Sihe's partner, Sun Hao, got the third place with graceful movements and difficult flying skills. After the scores came out, the China team, which participated in this international competition for the first time, was boiling. This achievement fills the gap in the field of wheelchair dance in China! After the success of the first battle, after a short period of joy, Chen Si immediately put more efforts into dance training.
Heaven rewards diligence! Not long ago, Chen Si received an invitation to hold an international wheelchair dance competition in Japan. After hanging up the phone, Chen Si was too excited to speak. Sun Li, her partner, immediately patted her chest and said that she would accompany her to the competition no matter what. In the next few days, Chen Si hoped that he could not arrive at the competition venue, but the complicated procedures for going abroad were not completed until two days before the competition. Chen Si hurried to Japan, the game started, and there was no time for training. Therefore, Chen Si was a little nervous in the competition, for fear of not cooperating well with his partner. This international competition is divided into preliminary, resurrection and final. Although they have not been trained, their solid foundation has enabled them to win the second place in the preliminary round and directly enter the finals. After the final, Sun Hao of Chen Sihe waited anxiously for the result on the stage. At this moment, a Japanese staff member came over and spoke a string of Japanese to Chen Si, which puzzled Chen Si. One side of the Hong Kong players patted Chen Si's shoulder excitedly and translated for them. You won the first prize, and the prize will be presented soon. The organizer wants you to perform. ?
Soon, the organizer announced the results of the competition, and Sun Hao of Chen Sihe won the first place as expected. In the sound of the national anthem of the people of China, the two embraced and shed tears with excitement. After receiving the award, Chen Sihe's partner performed on stage alone, which made Chen Si feel extremely proud. The music started again, and Chen Si was dancing in her wheelchair. That wonderful feeling made Chen Si feel like a big bird, flying freely in the blue sky. At the end of the performance, she was in tears.
Chen Si, who returned with great fame, was not satisfied with this. She has a new dream: I hope to be a wheelchair dance instructor in the future, so that more disabled friends can dance in wheelchairs like her to lead a wonderful life!
Example 2 of success after setbacks: Lincoln
1832, Lincoln lost his job, which obviously made him sad, but he made up his mind to be a politician and a state senator. Unfortunately, he lost the election. It is undoubtedly painful for him to suffer two blows in one year.
Then, Lincoln started his own business, but less than a year later, the business closed down again. In the following 17 years, he had to run around and go through hardships to repay the debts owed when the enterprise closed down.
Later, Lincoln decided to run for the state legislature again, and this time he succeeded. There is a glimmer of hope in his heart. I think my life has become better: maybe I can succeed! ?
1835, he is engaged. But a few months before the wedding, my fiancee died unfortunately. This is a great mental blow to him. He was exhausted and stayed in bed for months. 1836, suffering from neurasthenia.
1838, Lincoln felt in good health and decided to run for president of the state legislature, but failed. 1843, he ran for the US Congress again, but this time he failed.
Although Lincoln tried again and again, he failed again and again: his business went bankrupt, his lover died and he lost the election. If you encounter all this, will you give up? It's important for you to give up these things?
Lincoln didn't give up, nor did he say:? What will happen if he fails? 1846, he ran for Congress again, and he ran for Congress again and was finally elected.
His two-year term passed quickly and he decided to fight for re-election. He thinks his performance as a member of parliament is excellent, and he believes that voters will continue to elect him. Unfortunately, he lost the election.
Because he lost a lot of money in this election, Lincoln applied to become a land official in his state. But the state government rejected his application, which read:? Being a land official in this state requires outstanding talents and extraordinary intelligence, and your application can't meet these requirements. ?
Failed twice in a row. In this case, will you insist on continuing your efforts? Can you say it? I failed
However, Lincoln did not give up. 1854 ran for the Senate and failed; Two years later, he ran for the nomination of vice president of the United States and was defeated by his opponent; Two years later, he ran for the Senate again, but failed.
Lincoln never gave up his pursuit. He was the master of his own life. 1860 was elected president of the United States.
Example 3: A hundred setbacks are success.
David? Beckham is a famous English football player, but when he was a child, he wanted to be a cross-country runner. However, Beckham's family is very supportive. The whole family scrimped and saved and paid all his expenses.
Shortly after Beckham joined the team, he got an opportunity. The famous Essex cross-country race will be held in four months. But unfortunately, when I learned the news, I missed the registration time. Nevertheless, the team owner is determined to seize this opportunity to make the team famous anyway. Next, the boss bought many gifts and visited Mr. huntly, the organizer of the contest.
As a result, the boss came back depressed with a gift. But he still didn't give up and sent several effective assistants to visit, still in vain.
At the internal meeting of the team, many players said gloomily, can't we watch and miss the Essex cross-country race? ?
At this time, young Beckham volunteered: Let me try, I believe I can get this quota. ? The boss looked at the kid and said with a sneer. With you? Even I was ruthlessly refused to go. I'm sure you can convince him, but what makes you?
Beckham patted his chest and said, I dare to make a written pledge to fulfill a military order, but if I can get it smoothly, I hope I can represent the team. ? Seeing that Beckham was so confident, the boss readily agreed with him.
With the address given by the boss, Beckham successfully found the villa in huntly, but was stopped by the nanny. ? Hello. ? Beckham politely took out the team's business card and said, Please tell Mr. huntly that I want to talk to him about racing. ? A few minutes later, the nanny came out and said, sorry, sir, you have been here several times. There is no need to contact again. ? Beckham still smiled and said:? It doesn't matter. Please tell Mr huntly that I will come again tomorrow. ?
The next night, Beckham came to huntly's villa early. He chose to knock on the door at eight o'clock on time or be received by the nanny. Beckham said with a smile. Please tell Mr huntly that I want to talk to him about racing. ? Nanny can't bear to brush his kindness. Go in and report. After a while, the nanny came out and said, son, you'd better go. Mr. Wang won't see you. ? Beckham said confidently: I will still come tomorrow. ?
For the next three months, Beckham came every day. On weekends, Beckham insisted on coming twice a day, even though he never met Mr. huntly once.
But Beckham still didn't give up. One rainy night, he came again. The nanny still opened the door, and the nanny said, son, I have calculated it for you. This time, you have been here a hundred times. Our husband is watching the ball. I don't think he will see you. ? When he learned that huntly was still a die-hard fan, Beckham suddenly brightened up and walked into the hall and said, Mr. huntly, I won't talk to you about cars today. Let's talk about football. ? When he heard that the TV sound in huntly's room was much weaker, Beckham began to talk about the current situation of English football and his ambition.
After a while, the door opened and huntly came out. You are a person with profound opinions on football. I believe your future is bright for such a persistent person. So, I want to talk to you about the details of this competition. ? Next, the two talked for two hours in the study and settled all the details of Beckham's team's participation in the Essex cross-country race.
A month later, the Essex cross-country race was held as scheduled. With his outstanding performance, Beckham won the Essex cross-country race. Many years later, David Beckham turned to football. Because of his persistence, his football career is booming. His hard-won free kick and long pass skills have also become the magic weapon to win on the field. Every time I go to see fans, many fans ask him the secret of success. Beckham always said earnestly: What I want to tell you is that there is nothing stronger than persistence in this world. I want to send you a sentence, which is also a summary of my life: one setback is failure, and a hundred setbacks are success. ?
