The general history of celebrities

(Great comes from ordinary)

Andersen is a fairy tale writer. He was an apprentice and a theater handyman.

Before the poet Whitman became famous, he worked as a carpenter, compositor, primary school teacher and editor.

Before the writer Dickens became famous, he was an apprentice, calligrapher and journalist in a shoe store.

Mark Twain used to be a compositor, navigator and miner.

Gorky did more. He worked as a baker, apprentice, cook, dock coolie and railway worker.

Living "martyr"

(Ordinary breeds greatness)

Wei Wei, a famous writer, wrote an essay called "Who is the cutest person". The article describes a heroic battle of SongGu Feng. Among those martyrs who fought the enemy with fire, there was a man named Li Yu 'an. However, this "martyr" did not die and is still alive today. After being rescued, he returned to his hometown in Heilongjiang and became an ordinary grain depot worker. He has been working hard for decades and never boasted about his past to anyone. Until 1990, people knew that he was a hero on the Korean battlefield. Many people were puzzled and even regretted that he had not been treated as he deserved. Li Yu 'an, on the other hand, gave up all kinds of generous treatment that he could have received, and chose to be an ordinary and ordinary worker, silently dedicating his life's energy. This ordinary life also shines with dazzling brilliance.

Einstein pursued the ordinary.

Great men also have an ordinary side.

The train pulled into the station, and the driver looked for the great scientist everywhere. In his mind, Einstein must be a well-dressed and elegant professor, but he didn't find the shadow of this great scientist until all the passengers dispersed. He had to drive back empty and report to the king, "The professor didn't come today." Half an hour later, Einstein walked to the palace. People looked at him: wearing a dusty raincoat and a pair of old leather shoes. How can a driver who only looks at clothes and doesn't recognize people think he is the famous scientist?

Lenin's works

(There is greatness in the ordinary)

Lenin, the great revolutionary mentor, still took time out of his busy schedule to take part in ordinary labor.

On May 1920, Lenin and the workers and staff took part in voluntary labor in the Kremlin. When a worker was carrying wood, he said to Lenin, "Let's do this work. You have more important work to do! " Lenin replied: "At this time, this work is crucial. "How thought-provoking this statement is!

Americans' view of heroes

(Ordinary breeds greatness)

An American company teamed up with the media to survey people on the topic "Who is your hero" and selected 20 heroes in your heart. In addition to celebrities, there are 10 "heroes of life" in the selection results. Although they are not well-known, their "heroic feats" are very intriguing. Let's see:

A soldier named Hugh Thompson joined the army in 1967 to fight in Vietnam. In order to save nine Vietnamese civilians from slaughter in the encirclement of the United States, he pointed his gun at his comrades: "You shoot, I will shoot!" " His behavior was criticized at that time and was formally investigated, but later the Pentagon awarded him the Vietnam War Medal. He ranks second in the list of "Heroes of Life".

John MacKay, another soldier who also participated in the Vietnam War, has been in Vietnam for six years since 1967, but he did not go to the battlefield, but stayed in a Vietnamese prison camp. It is such a prisoner of war that after returning to China, he was not only regarded as a hero, but also a "cadre" (stepping into politics). He ranks sixth on the list.

There is also a black lady named Rosa parks. 1 955 65438+February1,Parks crowded the bus after work. Tired, she sat in a white seat and refused to give up her seat for a rude white man. She was taken to court for this. Later, it triggered a nationwide black civil rights movement. She ranks ninth on the list.

An ordinary feat that touched thousands of people.

(Spanning the distance between the ordinary and the great)

2001165438+1On October 29th, the memorial service for hero Zhou Guangyu was held in Shizigang Funeral Home.

18 days ago, Zhou Guangyu was brave in front of Nanjing Railway Station, and he was stabbed six or seven times by gangsters and died heroically.

Zhou Guangyu's heroic deeds touched the citizens. People talk about him and learn from him. The warmth of the party and the government also poured into Lao Zhou's family. ...

These days, we walked into Lao Zhou's home, into the farm and factory where Lao Zhou once worked, into the street where Lao Zhou lived, and chatted with many people who were familiar with Lao Zhou ... Gradually, a living Lao Zhou stood up in front of us-there were no brave words and few deeds that made people cry. The most profound impression he left on people was his "ordinary" and "ordinary"

But in these seemingly ordinary lives, we feel the valuable qualities of this ordinary person more and more clearly. No matter for work, life, family or society, Zhou Guangyu has been practicing the moral code of an excellent citizen for decades. Perhaps it is this extraordinary ordinary that makes each of us, whether strangers or strangers, deeply moved. ...

He is down-to-earth and diligent-for 40 years, what he has done is unremarkable work, but in every post, he always does everything carefully. Everyone who has worked with him says that he is a good colleague and a good employee.

He loves life-he never complains about the difficulties after being laid off, but he is always self-reliant, optimistic and full of confidence in life. People who know him well say that no matter how hard life is, he can't be crushed.

He knows right from wrong-he is honest and doesn't talk much on weekdays, but in the face of right and wrong, he always dares to be true and stand up in times of crisis. People who know him well say that it is not surprising that he dared to hit a gangster this time.

He is respected-he is doing hard work in the society with little income, but he always has others in his heart. People around me say that such a good man is worthy of trust and respect.

Pan Jin painted it.

(unremitting efforts are the conditions from ordinary to extraordinary)

After graduating from Shanghai Art Institute, Pan Jin, a contemporary painter, returned to his hometown to sell paintings for a living and lived a very ordinary life. He studies painting hard and often writes nonstop for more than ten hours. In the evening, he paints under the kerosene lamp. He also found a good way to treat drowsiness. Whenever painting at night is sleepy and difficult to control, he puts his arm on the lampshade, and the hot kerosene lamp cover makes a "scowl". The sharp pain dispelled his drowsiness, and he pulled himself together and continued to paint. Over time, he left several black scars on his left elbow. He studied painting hard and finally succeeded. His fish paintings are different in style and unique, and are well-known at home and abroad.

Willing to be an ordinary military wife

Green mile

Even mortals can work miracles.

Zhang Jiawang, the husband of a farmer cow in northern Shaanxi, contracted a sandy wasteland at 1983 and decided to turn it into an oasis. Soon after, Zhang Jiawang died of cancer. Niu Qinyu and his three sons continued to work hard for more than ten years and paid unimaginable hardships. Finally, the sandy wasteland of 17000 mu was covered with green shade, and big trees grew. After her success, she followed her husband's wishes and took out her first income of 7,000 yuan to build a primary school. She took a word from her husband's name and her own name and named it "Jia Yulin Chang" and "Qin Wang Primary School" respectively. People praised Niu Qinyu for creating a "green mileage". Therefore, in 1993, FAO solemnly awarded Niu Qinyu the "Dr. Rao Award", and only three people in the world won this honor this year. 1995, China selected the top ten outstanding women, with cattle among the best.

Civilian artist Zhao

(Ordinary is not mediocre, but sublime)

Zhao, a famous comedian, died of lung cancer, which aroused the infinite regret of China people. On the day of the memorial service, nearly 20,000 unknown people rushed to the scene to see the civilian artist off.

On the night of the Spring Festival in 1989, Zhao became famous with his sketch "A Day of Hero Mother". As a matter of fact, she has long been a very successful actress, and her new co-productions with Pingju stars, Flower as Media and Sister Yang, have undoubtedly become the treasures of China art world. Later, Zhao attended the Spring Festival gala for several years in a row, and never put on airs, regardless of his sixties or seventies. When arranging "work adventure", you should write the word "genuine" on the spot. She has never been exposed to calligraphy at all, but she studies hard at home and plays freely. When performing "China Kung Fu", her feet were too swollen to put on her shoes, but she still gritted her teeth and kicked her feet on the stage. In the last year, she was diagnosed with cancer and insisted on rehearsing while taking medicine. She listened to the tape and recited the theme song of Titanic sentence by sentence, but she sang it vividly.

Zhao endured her own pain and brought joy to people, and people also expected to know her. But when someone wanted to write an autobiography for her, she said, "Why? Let people make irresponsible remarks. Besides, the book is not chosen and written ... "But it was politely declined. Before she died, she told her children: "I am an ordinary person, so I should come and go in an ordinary way." Zhao's sketches make the people of China feel the highest spiritual concern in the great changes of society, and they are filled with loftiness and justice in the ordinary.

"I'm a civilian"

(Great comes from ordinary)

Dr. Sun Yat-sen is a great revolutionary forerunner. He served as the temporary president of the Republic of China and enjoyed a high reputation among the people of the whole country, but he often regarded himself as an ordinary civilian.

Once he went to work in the presidential palace, forgot to bring his papers, and he was not allowed to enter without them, so although he had arrived at the door of the presidential palace, he returned to his residence and got a pass.

In Guangzhou, he heard that it would cost 15 yuan to give a speech, so he insisted on walking instead of taking the bus.

When the Zhongshan couple traveled to Hangzhou, they wore ordinary clothes and sunglasses to avoid being noticed. But it was found by three policemen at the railway station. So the police kept saying, "We are here to protect the nobles." Dr. Sun Yat-sen said to the police: "The duty of the police is to maintain local public order. I am a civilian. Why should I protect it? " Go back to your mission! "

Ordinary mentality is the most precious.

No matter how capable a person is, he can be ordinary. In the legendary swordsman, Liu Zhengfeng and Quyang dreamed of becoming ordinary people, but they couldn't play flute and piano all day, and finally found the most common place-death. The legendary swordsman and the legendary swordsman are geniuses of ordinary people. Death row inmates who struggle for power and profit finally get an ordinary life. They are really happy. Only when you smile well can you be proud.

Besides, to tell the truth, Comrade Cui is not a big shot, but he is a big shot, but it is really an ordinary blank. If he thought he was different, there wouldn't be so many millions of people watching TV every week, waiting to see his evil smile on his face.

Majority! Confucius is called a saint, and a threesome must have my teacher! It is a saint to learn from ordinary people.

In the final analysis, it is your own mentality. Ordinary and extraordinary do not come from your living standard and work performance, but actually from your own mentality.

Be an ordinary person, spoil and enjoy, insult and anger. Then we can abandon it and continue to live our mortal life, running in the morning and buying food in the morning market. Study hard every day, make progress every day, even if you don't promote yourself, get ahead, be extraordinary, and everyone knows it. Let's enjoy ourselves, work hard and enjoy the life of mortals. Why not?
