Distant dream
Mary Golda couldn't read and write when she was a child, and experts concluded that she was mentally retarded. When she was a teenager, Mary got another nickname: "hopeless guy" and was sent to receive two years of education. But in the small space of the reformatory, Mary began to study. She spends 16 hours studying at her desk every day. God knows, she finally got her high school diploma.
But bad luck followed. After leaving the reformatory, she got pregnant first out of wedlock, and then two years later. Successive blows almost destroyed her hard-won reading and writing ability. With her father's help and support, Mary pulled herself together and found what she had lost.
Mary devoted herself to charity under the extremely difficult economic situation. Finally, with a small income, she adopted seven children. During this period, she began to study community school courses, and after graduation, she was admitted to Albany Medical College.
Spring in Oregon 1984. Mary? Goroda? Louise-she is married now-walked into the graduation auditorium with great dignity. When she reached out and accepted the certificate containing her confidence and perseverance, no one could guess the myriad ripples in Mary's heart. This certificate announces to the whole world: Here, in an obscure place on this planet, stands a person who dares to cling to distant dreams, and a person who shows the extraordinary spirit of mankind to the world-Dr. Mary Golda Lewis (MD) stands here.

A mile race
In the mile race, after the first professional athlete ran for four minutes, all sports experts and physiologists all over the world asserted that running for four minutes in a mile is the limit of human beings, and no one can break through it. However, an unknown coach helped an amateur athlete break through this limit in an uncomplicated way. He only used a simpler method. He divided the mile into eight equal parts and calculated the time needed to pass each equal part according to the physical fitness of the players. Then each division has a small coach to hold the second and report to the athletes: "Too fast, take it easy!" " ""slow down, it's time to refuel! "Interestingly, the first person to break the' limit' turned out to be a medical student! Obviously, the problem is not the athlete's athletic ability, but whether we can break through the limits in our hearts.

The story of fleas
A friend of mine went to the south to look for a job. According to her expertise and talent, it is not a problem to be responsible for the operation of a department. I wrote a letter of recommendation to chief engineer Yu of a telecommunications company, and then made my friend make an appointment for an interview. Unexpectedly, she said that she had never been a supervisor in such a big telecom company. I am afraid that I can't pass the interview, or I can't do my job well, which will affect my friend's face, so I have to "settle for second best".
She first tossed herself in several employers and talent markets, and the result was "high is not low." Finally, she called chief engineer Yu of the telecommunications company, and the secretary answered the phone and asked, "Who are you looking for?" She replied, "Tell it to Mr. Yu." The secretary said, "Sorry, Manager Yu is in a meeting. Could you please leave a message? " She was embarrassed to leave a message.
Later, I told her a "flea story": I put a flea in a glass and found that it could jump 400 times as high as its body. If the height is increased, fleas can't jump out. But when you hold the alcohol lamp to the bottom of the cup, the flea will jump out because it is too hot to stand. As Sun Tzu's Art of War said, "Give it to death and you will be born later."
My friend soon realized that when she went to work the next day, she called Manager Yu, and the secretary answered the phone again, but she called Manager Yu by his first name. The secretary didn't dare to neglect him and quickly turned on the phone. ...
Now my friend has become the design director of the company.
If you psychologically acquiesce to an "insurmountable" height limit, you are willing to endure the life of a loser.
