Poverty is a fortune. The reason for this is that the more poverty motivates people to make progress, the more they want to change their living environment, the more motivated they are. In ancient times, there was a saying that "a poor family gives birth to a noble son, and a white family gives birth to a fair and noble son". Mencius also said: "Heaven will take great responsibility in Sri Lanka, and it must first suffer its mind, its bones and muscles, its body and skin, and its body ..."
Madame Curie is a household name. She is a miracle in the history of modern science. Like a radiant and dazzling superstar, she lit up the starry sky of science and left a lasting glory. However, when she was less than seventeen years old, she had to make a living as a tutor because of her father's meager salary. During that time, rain or shine, she had to walk a long way in the city. Her students are either disobedient or lazy to study, and her parents don't respect her very much. But in order to get that poor reward, she can only do so. Later, at the age of 17, she even went to a family in the country to be a tutor for her sister to go to school and live in poverty.
But it is such a poor little girl who discovered polonium and radium when she grew up, wrote an unprecedented scientific chapter and made great contributions to the development of all mankind. Perhaps, it is the unbearable poverty in her youth that gives her courage and perseverance that ordinary people can't imagine, and gives her perseverance and perseverance, which makes her persevere and succeed in radium smelting for more than three years.
Not only Madame Curie, but also countless successful people at home and abroad have experienced poverty: Fan Zhongyan lost his father at the age of two, his mother remarried, and even thick porridge was unpalatable when he was a child; Song Lian, a great scholar in Ming Dynasty, was born in a poor family. Gorky, a Soviet writer, used to be a waif. Van Gogh, a Dutch painter, was once broke and often relied on his brother's help in his life. Danish fairy tale writer Andersen was born in a shoemaker's family ... although they lived in poverty, they all achieved great success in the end. Poverty has become their wealth, and it is precisely because of the hardships of poverty that they have all kinds of valuable qualities and self-motivation.
I remember when Bailey, the king of world football, was happy for the birth of his son, a reporter congratulated him: "Look how strong he is, and he will be a great sports star like you in the future." Bailey retorted without thinking: "He may become an excellent athlete, but he will never achieve what I do, because he is rich now and lacks the innate sense of competition, while I was poor when I was young."
Yes, Bailey is right, wealth is a hotbed of laziness, and a comfortable life will make people comfortable with the status quo. These are not wealth, but black hands that push people to failure. People who lack the sense of competition and self-motivation will never succeed!
Poverty is a wealth, because it stimulates people's enterprising spirit, which is favored by success. Therefore, people living in poverty need not feel sorry for themselves. Work hard, maybe success has come to you.
