Inspirational stories of foreign celebrities 1 One day, Mo Bosang took his own article and asked Flaubert for advice. He said frankly, "Teacher, I have read many books. Why do my articles always feel boring? " "This question is very simple, but your kung fu is not home yet." Flaubert said bluntly. "So-how can I take Kung Fu home?" Mo Bosang asked eagerly. "Only in this way will we be willing to endure hardships and practice frequently. Isn't there a carriage passing by your door every day? Just stand at the door and record what you see every day in detail and remember it for a long time. " The next day, Mo Bosang really stood in front of his house and looked at the carriages coming and going in the street all day, but found nothing. Then, he looked at it for two days in a row and found nothing. In desperation, Mo Bosang had to come to the teacher's house again. As soon as I entered the door, I said, "I have looked at the paintings for several days according to your instructions, and I didn't see anything special. It was so monotonous that there was nothing to write about." "No, no, no! How can you say there is nothing to write about? Is that gorgeous horse and a poorly decorated carriage walking on the same road? How to get to the carriage in the hot sun? How did the carriage go in the storm? How does the horse push the carriage when it goes uphill? How does the driver shout when the car goes downhill? What's his expression like? Can you write all this clearly? You see, how can there be nothing to write about? " Flaubert talked endlessly, and one question after another left a deep imprint on Mo Bosang's mind. From then on, Mo Bosang looked at the passing carriages with rapt attention at the gate every day, from which he got rich materials and wrote some works. So he asked Flaubert for advice again. Flaubert read several articles carefully, smiled and said, "These works show that you have made progress. But young people insist that talent is the result of insisting on writing. " Flaubert went on to say, "It is not enough to observe carefully what you want to write, but also to find the characteristics that others have not found or written." If you want to describe a bonfire or a green tree, you should try to find out the differences between them and other bonfires and other trees. "Mo Bosang listened attentively, and the teacher's words inspired him a lot. Flaubert took a sip of coffee and said, "When you find these features, you should be good at writing them down. In the future, you will walk into a factory, describe the janitor of this factory, and show the figure, posture, appearance, clothing and all the spirit and essence of this janitor in a painter's way, so that I will not confuse him with farmers, coachmen or any other janitor after reading it. "

Mo Bosang remembered the teacher's words and studied harder. He carefully observed and pondered, accumulated a lot of information, and finally wrote many famous books with world influence.

Inspirational stories of foreign celebrities 2 Henry Ford is called "the father of cars" by Americans. 19 13 took the lead in assembling cars by assembly line, and realized the myth that 10 seconds assembled a car for the first time. A few years later, the price of civilian cars was reduced by half, and cars were no longer exclusive to the rich. Ford's ideas have also had a great influence on the manufacturing industry all over the world. Today, everything from airplanes to a packet of candy can be produced on the assembly line. Once after the Ford Motor Company took shape, Ford suggested improving the existing assembly line in a high-level meeting to improve production efficiency. This proposal has been opposed by many people: some people think that improving the assembly line is too risky, not only to invest in buying machines, but also to retrain workers; Others think that the company's production capacity is strong enough and the benefits are good, so there is no need to work hard to improve efficiency.

After listening to everyone's opinions, Ford raised the glass on the table and asked, "What do you see?" Someone said worriedly, "I have drunk half a glass of water, and the glass is still half empty." "Don't worry," someone said optimistically, "there is still half a glass of water in the glass. If you are thirsty, there is still half a glass of water to drink. " "Unlike you, the cup I see is twice as big as water." Ford said, "The water here can be contained in half a cup." It is a waste of resources and inefficient to use large cups to do what small cups can do. Now the employees on the production line are like this mug, and half of their potential has not been brought into play. All I have to do is change a small cup, and then we can put more and better things in a big cup! "

Life is the same, if the environment gives you a big cup, please don't just use it to hold half a glass of water; If your gift is a big cup, please don't use it as a small cup. Smart people 100% know how to use what they have.

Inspirational Stories of Foreign Celebrities 9 Chernyshevski1862 In June, Modern People, edited by Chernyshevski, was ordered to stop publishing by the reactionary Russian authorities. A month later, Chernyshevski's home was searched, but he was taken away even though no evidence was found. 1February 5, 864, the Russian reactionary authorities, in accordance with the will of Alexander II, made a judgment on Chernyshevski, namely, "deprive all public rights, send them to the mine for seven years of hard labor, and then live in Siberia forever."

Ten years later, the Tsar government sent Vinnikov, the adjutant of the Governor of Siberia, to persuade Chernyshevski that he could ask for pardon as long as he was willing to yield, and the authorities would approve his request. Yes, when Vinnikov gave him the documents he had brought to Chernyshevski, he picked them up, took a look and returned them to Vinnikov.

Inspirational stories of foreign celebrities 10 A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil may cause a tornado in Texas, USA.

It is no exaggeration that a trivial action may change a person's life. It can be proved as an example. Ford Company of the United States is famous in the world, which not only makes the American automobile industry in the forefront of the world, but also changes the national economic situation of the whole United States. Who would have thought that Ford, the creator of this miracle, entered the company with a simple action of "picking up waste paper"?

At that time, Ford had just graduated from college, and he applied for a job in a car company. Several people who applied together have higher academic qualifications than him. Ford felt hopeless when others interviewed him. When he knocked at the door and walked into the chairman's office, he found a piece of paper on the floor at the door. Naturally, he bent down and picked it up. Looking at it, it turned out to be a piece of waste paper and threw it into the garbage basket. The chairman sees all this in his eyes. Ford just said, "I'm here to apply for Ford." The chairman issued an invitation: "Very good, very good, Mr. Ford, you are hired by us." This decision that surprised Ford actually came from one of his casual actions. From then on, Ford began his brilliant road until he changed his name to the company and made Ford famous all over the world.

A salesman of Ping An Insurance Company also had a surprise similar to Ford's. He visited the general manager of a company many times, and finally he was able to sign the bill only because he picked up a piece of waste paper on the ground and threw it into the trash can on his way to the general manager's office. The general manager said to him, "I watched all morning (through the window glass) to see which employee would pick up waste paper, but I didn't expect it to be you." Before this meeting with the general manager, he was "left hanging" for more than three hours, and many colleagues were vying for this big customer.

The harvest of Ford and salesman seems to be accidental, but it is inevitable. Their subconscious actions come from a habit, and the habit formation comes from their positive attitude. This is just as the famous psychologist and philosopher william james said: "Sow an action and you will reap a habit;" Sow a habit and you will gain a character; Sow a character and you will reap a fate. "

In fact, the "butterfly effect" used by scientists to vividly illustrate chaos theory also exists in our lives: a bold attempt, a bright smile, a habitual action, a positive attitude and a sincere service can all start from an unexpected starting point in life, which can bring far more than a little joy and superficial return.

Whoever can catch the "butterfly" that is beneficial to life will not be abandoned by society.

When she stopped crying, grandma pointed to the tree behind her and said, "This is a century-old tree. In my memory, it was struck by lightning and blown away by strong wind. The worst time, because of an inexplicable mountain fire, only a few bare branches were left. Every time, people thought it was dead, but before long, it grew green branches and began to sing in the wind again! You see, it can enjoy the sunshine now, and all of us should look up to it! "

After the collapse, she suddenly remembered the tree on the mountain, so she shook off the frog calmly, took up her schoolbag and went home. The students looked at each other, feeling very boring, and no one made fun of her anymore.

As a diva, her first screen farce has reached $90 million at the global box office and won three Golden Globe nominations, making it one of the highest-grossing films in the history of musical films in recent years.

Faced with the flowers and applause that followed, the girl who had experienced ups and downs often smiled and said, "As my grandmother said, since there is no way to avoid the wind and rain, it is useless to stand in the same place and sigh or complain. It is better to be a tearless tree and sing in front of the storm! "
