A good mother is better than a good teacher

Chapter 28 Perseverance and hard work combine action and thinking (3)
After the 26-year-old Mozart got married, his life was still very poor.After having children, it is even more difficult to make ends meet, and the whole family lives in poverty and hunger.In order to change this situation, Mozart was often hungry, dragging his tired body to hold long and overloaded music concerts. As long as he earned a little money, he was always eager to buy some food and hurried home to let the The whole family has a full meal.How many times Mozart couldn't hold back his tears when he watched his young child and his frail wife gobble up their meals. He asked God why he had to pay such a heavy price in the pursuit of his dream?
In many cases, the nobles would "generously" give some property to Mozart, but their charity was purposeful. They hoped to hear Mozart's singing and dancing music for them, but Mozart did not compromise. He firmly believed that: the real His music should represent the aspirations of the people, even if he starves to death, he will never betray his dreams!
The aristocrats whose vanity was not satisfied became furious. They sneered and said, "You poor boy also have dreams? Hmph, dreams can't save you. One day, you will come hungry and beg for our charity!"

Even in such adversity, Mozart still did not lose his noble sentiments.He despises those musicians who rely on others, and always insists on his own artistic ideas.It was during the most difficult period of his life that he created famous operas such as "The Marriage of Figaro", "Don Juan", and "The Magic Flute".

No one can stand on top of you unless you are on your knees.The unshakable, mighty and unyielding character has made many historical celebrities shine with dazzling brilliance after vicissitudes.

Little clay figurines walking across the river
One day, God declared that if any clay figurine could cross the river he designated, he would give the clay figurine an indelible golden heart.

After the decree was issued, the clay people did not respond for a long time.After an unknown amount of time, a little clay figurine finally stood up and said that he wanted to cross the river.

"How could a clay figurine cross the river? Stop dreaming."

"Do you know how it feels when you lose your body bit by bit?"

"You will become a delicacy for fish and shrimp, without leaving even a single hair..."

However, the little clay figurine was determined to cross the river.He didn't want to just be such a little clay figurine for the rest of his life.He wants to have his own paradise.However, he also knew that in order to go to heaven, he had to go through hell first.

And his hell is the river he will go through.

The little clay figurine came to the river.After a moment of hesitation, he stepped into the water with both feet.A heart-piercing pain immediately covered him.He felt that his feet were melting rapidly, moving away from his body every minute and every second.

"Go back quickly, or you will be destroyed!" the river roared.

The little clay figurine didn't answer, but just moved forward in silence, one step at a time.At this moment, he suddenly understood that his choice made him not even qualified to regret it.If he goes back ashore, he is a crippled clay figure; hesitating in the water can only hasten his own destruction.And God's promise to him is farther than death.

The little clay figurine walked alone and stubbornly.This river is so wide, it seems that it will never end if you spend your whole life.The little clay figurine looked to the other side and saw beautiful flowers, green grass and birds flying happily.Maybe that's life in heaven.But he gave everything and could hardly get there.God did not give him the chance to be born in heaven as a flower, nor did he give him a pair of wings to be a bird.But can this blame God?God allowed him to be a clay figurine, but he himself gave up a stable life.

The little clay figurine moved forward in an almost impossible way, one centimeter, one centimeter, and another centimeter... The fish and shrimps greedily pecked at his body, and the soft sand made him crumbling every moment. Every time he was choked by the waves and almost suffocated.The little clay figurine really wanted to lie down and rest for a while.But he knew that once he lay down he would sleep forever, and even the chance of pain would be lost.He could only endure, endure, endure.The strange thing is that whenever the little clay figurine thinks he is going to die, there is always something that keeps him going until the next moment.

I don't know how long it took—it was almost time for the little clay figurine to despair. The little clay figurine suddenly realized that he had finally landed.He was relieved and ecstatic, and was about to walk on the lawn, but he was afraid that the dirt on his body would defile the cleanliness of heaven.He lowered his head and began to look at himself, but was surprised to find that he had nothing left—except a golden heart, and his eyes were growing on his heart.

He understood everything: there was never such a thing as luck in heaven.The seeds of flowers and plants have to go through the heavy and dark soil before they can germinate and smile in the sun; the birds have to be beaten and lost countless feathers before they can temper their wings; even God, he was only once in hell The one who has walked the longest and struggled the hardest.And as a little clay figurine, only with miraculous courage and perseverance can he let the torrent of life clear the turbidity of his soul, and then shine on his own golden heart.

king and four princes

The ancient kingdom of Araby is located deep in the desert. Years of wind and sand have ravaged the castle, and the king told the four princes that he intends to move the capital to Karen, which is said to be beautiful and rich.

Karen is very far away from here, and he has to cross mountains, cross grasslands, swamps, and ford many rivers; but no one knows how far it is.

So, the king decided to let the four sons go to explore the road separately.

The eldest prince traveled by car for seven days, climbed over three mountains, and came to the edge of the endless grassland.When I asked the locals, I learned that I had crossed grasslands, swamps, big rivers, and snow-capped mountains... so I turned my horse and headed back.

After the second prince rode his horse through a swamp, he was stopped by the wide river.

The third prince crossed two big rivers, but was scared back by another vast desert.

A month later, the three princes returned to the king one after another, and reported to the king what they saw along the way, and they all emphasized repeatedly that they asked many people on the road and told them that the road to Karen was very long. .

Five days later, the little prince came back and excitedly told his father that it only took a few days to Karen.

The king smiled with satisfaction: "Son, you are right. In fact, I have been to Karen a long time ago."

Several princes looked at the king puzzledly: "Then why did you send us to find the way?"

The king said solemnly: "That's because I just want to tell you four words: feet are longer than roads."

a lost gold watch
A farmer accidentally lost a valuable gold watch in the barn when he was inspecting the barn. He couldn't find it, so he posted a notice at the gate of the farm asking people to help.A $100 reward is on offer.

Faced with the temptation of great rewards, people searched hard everywhere, but there were mountains of grains in the barn, and bundles of straw. Finding a gold watch among them was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

People were busy until the sun went down and still couldn't find the gold watch. They either complained that the gold watch was too small, or they complained that the barn was too big and there was too much straw. They gave up the temptation of $100 one by one.There was only one child in rags who did not give up after everyone left and tried hard to find it. He hadn't eaten for a whole day and hoped to find the gold watch before dark to solve the family's food problems.

It was getting darker and darker, and the child kept searching in the barn. Suddenly he found that after everything quieted down, there was a strange sound "tick, tick" that kept ringing.The child suddenly stopped looking.The barn was quieter, and the ticking sound was very clear.The child followed the sound to find the gold watch and finally got $100.

As long as we persevere in searching, concentrate and think calmly, we will realize our ideals.

The Gatekeeper and the Night Pearl

Once upon a time, there was a king who wanted to choose a prime minister. He sent people to post the imperial list all over the country.

People with lofty ideals all over the world came to Kyoto after hearing the news.

On this day, the king took them to the granary, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

While everyone was not paying attention, the king took out a luminous pearl from his pocket and threw it into the pile of grains: "Whoever you can find it, let him be the prime minister."

Everyone was in a hurry, and they searched nervously inside.

However, due to the large number of people and mixed hands, they almost searched the granary, but found nothing.

In the evening, everyone was extremely tired and went home to rest.

The next morning, when they were about to search again, they heard the news: Ye Mingzhu had been found, and the candidate for prime minister had been confirmed.

Everyone was very surprised, who was so lucky to find the Ye Mingzhu?The keeper of the granary.

After everyone dispersed yesterday, the janitor has been guarding the door of the granary.

When night fell and the faint light of the night pearl came out from the grain pile, he walked directly to the light and pulled it out easily.

"Flying Lady" Joyner
Joyner is an excellent female sprinter in the United States, and is known as the "world's number one flying woman" in the 20th century.

Joyner was born in St. Louis, USA.

Joyner has been in good health since she was a child, and she likes sports. She is very good at playing basketball, running, and long jump.Joyner started to practice running at the age of 10, and she has good results in 100 meters and 400 meters.During a training session, she saw that the coach was teaching a girl to practice long jump, so she also volunteered to jump 5 meters away.The coach found that the child was good at jumping, strong explosive power, excellent physical fitness and athletic talent, and suggested that she engage in multi-sport training, and told Joyner that although there were many good sprinters, long jumpers and throwers in the national Olympic team, There are very few people who engage in all-around sports.Joyner was deeply encouraged by what the coach said, and the 13-year-old girl decided to start training in the women's all-around event.

Although Joyner showed amazing athletic talent, her mother didn't want her to become a professional athlete, and she didn't want her to run and jump every day like a boy.Joyner patiently persuaded her mother, telling her that she could meet many people on the track and field and learn a lot of knowledge and skills. She also said that her brother Alan was also a national long jump champion.The mother couldn't stand her daughter's repeated persuasion, and finally agreed to her request.

After joining the women's track and field team, Joyner became obsessed with basketball for a while, which made Kersey, the head coach of the women's track and field team at the University of California, Los Angeles, very nervous.Because he is well aware of Joyner's all-round talent in track and field, if Joyner continues to be passionate about basketball, it will ruin her bright future in track and field.He found Joyner to have a heart-to-heart talk with her, analyzed her individual track and field results, pointed out her unparalleled advantages in speed and jumping, and encouraged her again and again, as long as she went through special training, she would definitely make a difference.Under Kexi's repeated persuasion, Joyner finally completely left the basketball court she was reluctant to part with.

Joyner concentrated on resuming the training of all-round track and field events. Under Kexi's guidance, Joyner's weaknesses have improved significantly in less than a year. In July 1986, at the Moscow Friendship Games, Joyner broke the world record with an astonishing total score of 7 points, becoming the first female athlete to break through the 7148-point mark.

Four weeks later, Joyner broke the world record she had just created in Moscow at the Houston Olympic Festival in the United States, raising the original world record by more than 4 points and causing a sensation in the world sports circle.For her outstanding contributions to USA track and field, the U.S. Amateur Sports Federation honored Joyner Sullivan with the Sullivan Award, a special award dedicated to outstanding athletes.

After Joyner broke the world record, Kesey talked about the reasons for Joyner's success: "First, she is an athlete with outstanding talent; second, she is never stubborn or arrogant; Be confident in yourself."

Joyner had all the ingredients for a successful athlete: talent, confidence and humility.Sometimes we only pay attention to the aura that hangs over athletes and ignore the special qualities they have.The aura will eventually recede, but the quality is eternal, and they will leave endless enlightenment for future generations.

Two Travelers Crossing the Desert

The two of them crossed the desert together. They ran out of water, and one of them was unable to move due to heat stroke.

The remaining healthy and hungry man said to his companion, "Well, you wait here, and I will go find water." He put the pistol in his companion's hand and said, "There are five bullets in the gun, remember Hold on, after three hours, fire a shot into the air every hour, and the sound of the gun will guide me to find the right direction and meet you."

After the two broke up, one was full of confidence to find water, and the other was lying in the desert waiting suspiciously. He looked at his watch and fired the gun on time, but it was hard for him to believe that anyone besides himself could hear the gunshot.His fear deepened, thinking that his companion failed to find water and died of thirst on the way; soon, he believed that his companion had found water, but abandoned him and never returned.

When it was time to fire the fifth shot, the man thought angrily: "This is the last bullet, and my companions can't hear my gunshot for a long time. After this bullet is used up, what can I rely on? I only have Just waiting to die. How painful it would be for a vulture to peck my eyes out while I was still alive, and it would be better..." He put the muzzle of the gun to his temple and pulled the trigger.

Soon, the companion carrying a jug full of clear water led a group of camel merchants to follow the sound.What they found was a dead body.

The breaking of dikes and dams is terrible; but the most terrible thing is the collapse of will and belief.If there is no courage to overcome cowardice, the declaration of victory will not be heard; if there is no belief in overcoming difficulties, the course of progress will not be extended.
