Writing materials about writing 1. 16 American President abraham lincoln was born into a shoemaker's family, and American society at that time attached great importance to family status. On the eve of Lincoln's presidential election, he was humiliated by a senator in the Senate discussion. The senator said, "Mr. Lincoln, before you begin your speech, I want you to remember that you are the son of a shoemaker." Thank you very much for reminding me of my father. I will always remember your advice when he dies. I know I can't be president like my father is a shoemaker. The Senate fell silent. Lincoln turned to the arrogant senator and said, "As far as I know, my father used to make shoes for your family.
If your shoes don't fit, I can help you correct them. Although I am not a great shoemaker, I have learned the skills of shoemaking since I was a child. Then he said to all members of the Senate, "Everyone in the Senate is the same." . If the shoes you are wearing are made by my father and need to be repaired or improved, I will try my best to help you. But one thing, I can't be as great as him, and his craftsmanship is unparalleled. "At this time, Lincoln shed tears, and all the ridicule turned into sincere applause. As a man of humble origin, Lincoln did not have the hardware of aristocratic society, but he regarded simplicity and commonness as the quality of human dignity, illuminating the pale personality of aristocratic society and parliamentarians.
Shortly after sunset, the orange sunset glow is still burning in the western sky. The sea, also dyed red by this glow, is more spectacular than the sky. Because it is active, whenever rows of waves surge, the glow reflected from the peak is red and bright, just like a flaming flame, flashing and disappearing. And the back row, flashing, rolling, pouring in.
As the night gets darker, there are more and more "lights" in the sky. The lights in all parts of the city are really lit up for the second time, especially the lights on the hillside around the harbor, which are reflected in the dark blue sea from mid-air, flickering with the waves, like a string of flowing pearls, and reflecting each other with the dense stars in the sky. It is really beautiful.
A successful life is a life of hard work, a life without regrets, a life with clear goals and fighting for them, and a life that will seize opportunities. Harvard University has made a scientific and systematic investigation and verification of success in life, and holds that success in life must have three elements: one is macro-management ability, the other is practical operation ability, and the third is interpersonal communication ability.
The first two only account for 15-20%, and the latter accounts for 80-85%. This is strikingly similar to the formula of an investigation experiment conducted by China and Tsinghua University: success = 15% knowledge and skills +85% interpersonal relationship. The interpersonal relationship here does not mean the usual vulgar worldly wisdom, but the ability to control life, adjust life and solve contradictions.
Everyone wants to succeed, but they often think that success is out of reach. In fact, a successful life starts from bit by bit, and success is very close to us. If you want to succeed step by step, you must start from now and achieve the "five skills", that is, you can laugh, listen, speak, do and think. As long as you want to succeed, as long as you work hard, as long as you succeed a little every day, a successful life will be closer and closer to you!
