Standing on the track of dreams, undivided attention, perseverance, courage and perseverance will surely make dreams come true, leap to the peak of success, and face the brilliance and splendor of life with a smile. The following are my collection of celebrity stories about realizing their dreams. Let's have a look!

1, Ouyang Xiu

In his later years, Ouyang Xiu worked hard to revise the words written in his life every day. His wife told him not to change it, saying, why do you torture yourself like this? Are you still afraid of being scolded by the teacher? Ouyang Xiu said with a smile that he was not afraid of the teacher's scolding, but he was afraid of future generations' jokes.

2. Sima Guang

Sima Guang was born in an official family in the Song Dynasty. Wit and studious since childhood. Just turned 20, admitted to Jinshi. He is an honest official, who often studies in his spare time and is determined to write a general chronicle for people's reference. In order to seize the time to study, he specially made a log pillow. The magical function of pillow is that when sleeping, as long as the body turns, it will roll and people will wake up and continue to learn knowledge, so it is called "police pillow". Whenever Sima Guang needs a rest, he puts a "police pillow" on the pillow. As a result of this study, he finally succeeded and became a learned man.

3. Sun Jing

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Sun Jing, a famous politician. When he was young, he was eager to learn. He often closed the door and kept reading alone. Reading from morning till night every day, often forgetting to eat and sleep. After studying for a long time, I am tired, but I still don't rest. After a long time, I was too tired to doze off. Afraid of affecting his study, he came up with a special method. In ancient times, men had long hair. He found a rope and tied it firmly to the beam. When he is tired of reading, he dozes off. When his head is lowered, the rope will hold his hair and hurt his scalp, wake up immediately and continue to study.

4. Su Qin

Su Qin is from Luoyang. Luoyang was the capital of the Zhou Emperor at that time. He wants to make a difference. He once asked to see Zhou Tianzi, but there was no way to introduce him. In a rage, he sold his property and went to other countries to find a way out. But he ran for several years and didn't become an official. Later, I ran out of money and my clothes were worn out, so I had to go home.

The family saw him wearing sandals and carrying a broken bag, looking like a mess. His parents scolded him severely; His wife sat on the loom knitting silk without even looking at him; He begged his sister-in-law to cook for him, but she ignored him and leaned down and walked away. Su Qin was greatly stimulated and determined to take a breath. Since then, he has been eager to learn and study Sun Tzu's Art of War every day until late at night. Sometimes when I am tired and sleepy after reading in the middle of the night, I prick my thigh with an awl. Although it was painful, his spirit came and he continued to study. This is what people later called the "awl thorn stock", which is used to express the spirit of hard work. In this way, after more than a year of hard work, his knowledge is much richer than before.

5. Song Lian

Song Lian liked reading when he was a child, but his family was poor. I have no money to buy books, so I have to borrow them from others. Every time I borrow a book, he talks about the deadline, returns it on time, and never breaks the contract. People are willing to lend it to him.

Once, he borrowed a book, and the more he read it, the more he couldn't put it down, so he decided to copy it. But the deadline for returning the book is coming. He had to copy books overnight. It's the middle of winter and the twelfth month, dripping into ice. His mother said, "Son, it's midnight. It's cold. Copy it at dawn. People are not waiting for this book to read. "

Song Lian said, "No matter how many people are waiting to read this book, it must be returned before the deadline. This is a question of credit and a sign of respect for others. If you are dishonest in what you say and do, how can you get the respect of others? "

Once again, Song Lian was going to consult a famous person in the distance and set a meeting date, but it snowed on the day of departure. When Song Lian picked up her luggage and was ready to go on the road, her mother said in surprise, "How can you travel far in this weather?" Besides, the teacher has closed the mountain in heavy snow.

Your old cotton-padded jacket can't resist the cold in the mountains! "Song Lian said," Mom, if you don't leave today, you'll miss the day of your official career, so you'll stand me up. To stand up is to disrespect the teacher. No matter how heavy the snow is, I will go. "

When Song Lian arrived at the teacher's home, the teacher praised him with emotion, saying, "Young people, who are trustworthy and eager to learn, will certainly achieve something in the future!

6. Confucius

Books in the Spring and Autumn Period mainly used bamboo as bamboo slips to write, ranging from a few crosses to more than eight or nine characters. A book needs a lot of bamboo slips, which are connected in sequence with strong ropes and the like, and then a book is the last one, which is very convenient to read. Usually, those woven with silk thread are called "silk weaving", those woven with hemp rope are called "rope weaving" and those woven with cooked cowhide rope are called "Wei weaving", among which the cooked cowhide rope is the strongest. A book as heavy as Zhouyi is of course made up of many bamboo slips woven together with cooked cowhide ropes.

Confucius spent a lot of energy reading the Book of Changes again and again, adding a lot of notes. I don't know how many times he opened it. It is generally believed that Confucius could read and write in this way, and the cowhide belt of serial bamboo slips was worn off several times and had to be replaced with new ones for repeated use. This is a metaphor for studying hard.

Even after reading this, Confucius said, "If I live a few more years, I can fully grasp the literary quality of Zhouyi."

7. Kuang Heng

During the Han Dynasty, Kuang Heng was very studious as a teenager. As his family is poor, he has to do a lot of work during the day to earn money. Only at night can he sit down and read.

However, he can't afford candles, so he can't read when it is dark. Kuang Heng was heartbroken at this time-wasting behavior, and his heart was very painful. His neighbor's family is very rich. At night, light candles in several rooms to make them bright. One day, Kuang Heng summoned up his courage and said to his neighbor, "I want to study at night, but I can't afford candles. Can I borrow an inch of your house? "

Neighbors have always looked down on people who are poorer than their family, so they said viciously and sarcastically, "Since you are too poor to buy candles, what books are you reading?" Kuang Heng was very angry, but he decided to read the book well.

When Kuang Heng came home, he quietly cut a small hole in the wall, through which the neighbor's candlelight came in. With this faint light, he eagerly began to read books and gradually finished reading all the books at home.

After reading these books, Kuang Heng felt that his knowledge was far from enough, and his desire to continue reading more books was even more urgent. There is a big family nearby with many books.

One day, Kuang Heng rolled up his bedding and appeared in front of a big house. He said to his host, "please take me in, and I will work for you at home for free." Just let me read all your books. " The host was moved by his spirit and agreed to his request to borrow books.

This is how Kuang Heng studied diligently. Later, he became the prime minister of the Han and Yuan emperors and became a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty.

8. Johnson

Dr. Johnson, his father runs a big second-hand book stall. Once, there was a program not far away, and everyone went to the market. It's raining, and his father wants Dr. John to distribute some books and transport them to the market for sale. His father called him three times in a row to go, but Dr. Johnson was absorbed in reading a thick and big book at this moment, pretending not to hear him and ignoring him. His father sighed and had to go by himself. At this time, Dr. Johnson was eighteen years old. One day fifty years later, at eleven o'clock at noon, the local people saw the bloated old man kneeling in the middle of the street. He put his hat under his arm, put his crutch aside, bowed his head and knelt in the sun, tears streaming down his face. By this time, Dr. Johnson had become famous and everyone came to see him. He said to everyone: 50 years ago, on the same day and at the same time, I didn't listen to my father, and now I am kneeling here to confess!

9. Chaplin

Chaplin, who can compose music, direct and act, is a rare all-round filmmaker. Once, he held a film production meeting and a fly circled around him. At first, he hit a few times with his hand, missed, and asked for a fly swatter. During the dinner, he took a fly swatter, posed as a fly swatter and looked at the flies viciously. But I called three times and didn't get it. Later, the fly was on the table in front of him. He slowly picked up the fly swatter and was about to deliver a fatal blow when he suddenly laid down his weapon and let the fly fly away. The man sitting next to him saw it and said, why don't you kill it? The comedian shrugged his shoulders and said, this is not the one just now!

10, Newton

Newton was very absorbed in the study of knowledge. Once, a friend treated him. During the dinner, he remembered that there was a bottle of good wine at home, so he told his friends to wait and go home to get the wine himself. Friends were waiting around, but Newton didn't come back, so we had to investigate. It turned out that Newton thought of an experiment on his way home. When he got home, he plunged into the laboratory and started the experiment, completely forgetting about entertaining his friends with wine. On another occasion, when he was hungry, he boiled eggs to eat, but while thinking about the problem, he put the eggs in the pot. The problem was solved. When he wanted to eat eggs, he opened the lid and picked up his pocket watch.

1 1, Hawking

Hawking, a scientist, seems to have a weak learning ability when he was a child. He learned to read very late. After school, he never got into the top 65,438+00 in his class. Moreover, because his homework is always "untidy", his teachers think he is "hopeless" and his classmates regard him as the object of ridicule.

When Hawking 12 years old, two boys in the class took a bag of candy and bet that he would never succeed. The classmates ironically nicknamed him "Einstein". Who knows, after more than 20 years, the little boy who was not outstanding in those days really became a master of physics. What is the reason?

As it turns out, with the growth of age, Hawking became interested in how everything works. He often takes things apart to get to the bottom of them, but when he reassembles them, there is nothing he can do. However, his parents didn't punish him for it, and his father even gave him a "coach" in math and physics.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, Hawking found himself very interested in the study of physics. Although middle school physics is too easy and simple, it is particularly boring, but he thinks it is the most basic science, which is expected to solve the problem of where people come from and why they are here. Since then, Hawking has started a real scientific exploration.

12, Lincoln

Perhaps the best example of staying the course is abraham lincoln. Want to know who has never given up, don't look!

Lincoln, who was born in poverty, faced setbacks all his life. He failed in eight elections, failed in business twice and even had a nervous breakdown. Many times, he could have given up, but he didn't, and it was because he didn't give up that he became one of the greatest presidents in American history. The following is Lincoln's resume before he entered the White House:

18 16 years, his family was driven out of the place where he lived, and he had to work to support them; 18 18 years, mother died; 183 1 year, the operation failed; 1832 ran for state legislature but lost; 1832 I am unemployed and want to go to law school, but I can't get in. 1833, he borrowed money from his friends to do business, but went bankrupt at the end of the year. It took him 16 years to pay off his debts. 1834, he ran for the state legislature again and won!

1835, when he was about to get married after his engagement, his last wife died, so his heart was broken; 1836, he completely collapsed and was ill in bed for half a year; 1838, tried to become a spokesman for state legislators, but failed; 1840, trying to become an elector, failed; 1843, defeated in the parliamentary election; 1846, participated in the parliamentary election again and was elected this time! Going to DC Washington, the performance is remarkable; 1848, seeking re-election of members of Congress failed!

1849 I wanted to be the land director of my own state, but I was rejected! 1854 ran for the United States Senate and lost; 1856 was nominated by the vice president at the Republican national convention, and the number of votes was insufficient 100. 1858, he ran for the United States Senate again and lost again. 1860 was elected president of the United States.

Comments: The road is hard and muddy. One foot slipped and the other foot was unstable; But I took a deep breath and told myself, "This is just a slip, not death and I can't get up." -Lincoln said after running for the Senate failed.

Paul getty, 13

American oil tycoon paul getty used to be a heavy smoker.

Once, he drove to France for a holiday, and it rained heavily. After driving for several hours, he spent the night in a hotel in a small town. Tired after supper, he soon fell asleep.

At two o'clock in the morning, Getty woke up. He wants a cigarette. Turning on the light, he naturally reached for the cigarette case on the table before going to bed, but it was empty. He got out of bed and rummaged through his pockets, but found nothing. He searched his luggage again, hoping to find a pack of cigarettes he accidentally left behind, but he was disappointed again. At this time, the restaurant and bar of the hotel have long been closed. The only way for him to get cigarettes is to put on his clothes and go to the train station a few blocks away, because his car is parked in the garage some distance from the hotel.

The more there is no smoke, the greater the desire to smoke, and people who are heavy smokers probably have this experience. Getty took off her pajamas and put on her clothes to go out. She suddenly stopped when she reached for her raincoat. He asked himself: What am I doing?

Getty stood there thinking that a so-called intellectual, a quite successful businessman, and a person who thought he had enough reason to give orders to others left the hotel in the middle of the night and walked several streets in the heavy rain just to get a cigarette. What kind of habit is this? How powerful is this habit?

Soon, Getty made up her mind to knead the empty cigarette case into a ball and throw it into the wastebasket. She took off her clothes, put on her pajamas and went back to bed. With a sense of relief and even victory, she fell asleep in a few minutes.

After that, paul getty never smoked again. Of course, his career is getting bigger and bigger, becoming one of the top billionaires in the world.

Roosevelt road 14

A little boy almost thinks that he is the most unfortunate child in the world. Because of polio, he became lame and his teeth were uneven. He seldom plays games or plays with his classmates. When the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always kept his head down and said nothing.

In an ordinary spring, the little boy's father asked his neighbor for some saplings. He wants to plant them in front of the house. He told his children to plant one each. Father told the children that whoever planted the best sapling would buy a favorite gift. The little boy also wants to get a gift from his father.

However, when I saw my brother and sister skipping around watering the tree, I somehow came up with a cold idea: I hope the tree I planted will die soon. So after watering it once or twice, I never paid attention to it again.

A few days later, when the little boy went to see the tree he planted again, he was surprised to find that it not only did not wither, but also grew a few new leaves, which looked greener and more lively than the trees planted by his brothers and sisters.

Father fulfilled his promise, bought a favorite gift for the little boy, and told him that judging from the trees he planted, he would be an excellent botanist when he grew up.

Since then, the little boy has gradually become optimistic.

One night, the little boy lay in bed and couldn't sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly remembered what the biology teacher once said: plants usually grow at night, so why not go and see the little tree he planted? When he came to the yard softly, he saw his father throwing something under the tree he planted with a spoon.

Suddenly, he understood everything. It turns out that his father has been secretly fertilizing the young trees he planted! He went back to his room and let the tears flow freely. ...

Decades later, the lame boy did not become a botanist, but he became the president of the United States. His name is franklin roosevelt.

Love is the best nourishment in life, and a spoonful of water can also make the tree of life thrive. Maybe that tree is so ordinary and unremarkable; Perhaps the tree is so thin and even withered, but as long as it is watered with this nutrient, it can flourish and even grow into a towering tree.

Lindsey Vonn 15

An American girl, 1984, was born in Minnesota, USA. She has been obsessed with ice and snow since she was a child. She began to learn skiing at the age of seven and soon showed her extraordinary talent. Therefore, she dreams of becoming a world-class skier. /kloc-at the age of 0/3, her family moved from Minnesota to Colorado in order to have a better skiing training environment; /kloc-at the age of 0/4, she has become one of the best young skiers in the world; /kloc-selected for the American national team at the age of 0/6.

Unfortunately, in 2003, her parents divorced. But she still insisted on training at the ski resort. She said, "I concentrate on my skiing career and practice six days a week. I seem to be sliding on tight nerves. " June, 5438+October, 20041October, she stood on the podium of the World Cup for the first time, and won the World Cup championship for the first time in June, 5438+February of that year. However, at the World Championships held in Bormio in 2005, she missed the medal. In the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, she was also the favorite to win the championship. However, just two days before the start of the competition, she fell down while training at the speed of 1 12 km/h, endured back and pelvic pain, and participated in four competitions, but all of them missed the medal.

On February 9, 2009, she won two gold medals in the French Alpine Skiing World Championships, but she hurt her right thumb while opening champagne and almost amputated. She won the downhill race in the World Cup in Canada in February 65438, but her knee hit her chin and her tongue was bitten and bleeding. On the 28th of the same month, when she participated in the slalom competition in Linz, Austria, her snowboard was scratched by a lump of snow, and the whole person flew, then fell heavily on the snow surface, and her left wrist was badly scratched.

She had a bad fall and her knee might tear. So when she first heard from the doctor that her arm was broken, her husband Thomas Vaughan breathed a sigh of relief. When she heard the news, she immediately asked the doctor how she could continue skiing with her broken arm. The average skier needs months or even years to recover from the injury, and she doesn't even sigh. Her husband said that she was really made of special materials.

In this way, she won seven World Cup titles in 2009, including all five downhill events. She also won the World Cup for three consecutive seasons. However, just before the opening of the Vancouver Winter Olympics, which started in February 10, she was injured in a training in Austria and could not train for a whole week. This made her suffer great pressure and pain both psychologically and physically. The speed of alpine skiing is as high as 120 km/h, which is equivalent to a car running on the expressway. Such a high speed has a great influence on the athlete's tibia. It was once reported that the champion was retiring before the game. The track of the Winter Olympics, with a drop of 770 meters from the start to the finish and a total length of 2,939 meters, is known as the most difficult track in the world, which makes athletes with Olympic dreams flinch.

She was injured again, afraid that she would find a broken tibia and affect the game, so she resisted the pain and refused to undergo X-ray examination. Her husband also supported and encouraged her and strengthened her confidence in back in the game. Fortunately, it rained and snowed a few days before the Whistler Mountain competition, and the downhill training and competition were postponed one after another, so she got valuable healing time.

In February 10, 17, she once again stood on the downhill track of the Winter Olympics. She was sentenced to death for injuries many times, and her opponents defeated her many times, but she stood up bravely again. This girl who has not been cared for by fate, like Phelps, the American "flying fish", has attracted the attention of the whole world with her talents and efforts.

As soon as the order to start rang, she flew out quickly, hovering and soaring on the white snow-capped mountains like a vigorous snow swallow. From the beginning of the competition, she established an advantage and kept it to the end. She beat herself again and won the championship with 1:44 and 19, becoming the first American female athlete to win the gold medal in this event in history.

She is Lindsey Vonn, an American who is known as "the first beauty in the Winter Olympics".

"In order to win this championship, I waited for four years. During these four years, I have been working hard for this gold medal. Now I am the happiest person. " After winning the championship, Vaughan cried excitedly. "Injuries do affect me, but once I stand on the court, I won't consider any other factors. After all, I am responsible for my sweat and previous efforts. "
