The Sinking of the Titanic
On the night of April 1914, 4, the world's largest cruise ship "Titanic", fully loaded with 10 passengers, departed from the United Kingdom for its first voyage to New York, the United States.People have full confidence in it, because the Titanic is known as the "unsinkable ark".Unexpectedly, on the night of the fourth day after setting sail, it collided with an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean.After a detailed inspection, the engineer told the captain that the cabin was severely damaged, and eventually the "Titanic" sank into the icy Atlantic Ocean.

Strauss, a 67-year-old first-class passenger and the founder of the world's largest Max department store, many people advised him to get on the lifeboat: "I promise that no one will object to someone as old as you getting on the lifeboat." At this time, this An old man who was facing life and death replied without hesitation: "I will never get on the lifeboat until there are still women and children who are not on the lifeboat."

Guggenheim, the world-renowned bank tycoon, put on the most gorgeous evening dress and said: "I want to die decently, like a gentleman." His last words to his wife wrote: "This ship will not have any A woman stayed on deck because I seized the position of the lifeboat. I will not die like a beast, I will die like a real man.” Among the dead male passengers were billionaire Asder, veteran Reporter Stead, artillery major Bart, famous engineer Roble, etc., all gave up their places in the lifeboats to those illiterate and penniless peasant women from Europe who came from Europe and wore clogs.There are also fireman Carville, who feels that he may have left a little early, and goes back to boiler room 1 to see if there are any other boiler workers trapped there.Henry the Boilerman, who had been assigned to be the oarsman of the lifeboat, gave the chance to someone else, and remained on deck, unloading the dinghy to the last moment.Signalman Ron had been firing flares on deck and cranking the Morse beacon, no matter how hopeless it seemed.The radio operators Phillips and Brad stayed in the radio room until the last minute.

The moving story of a switchman

At a railway station, a switchman is walking to his post to switch a switch for an approaching train.At this time, on the other side of the track, there was another train entering the station from the opposite direction.If he didn't pull the switch in time, the two trains would collide.

At this time, he looked back inadvertently and found that his son was playing at one end of the track, and the train that started to enter the station was driving on this track.To save his son, or to avoid a catastrophe - he has too little time to choose.At that moment, he majestically yelled "Lie down" to his son!At the same time, he rushed over and turned the switch.

In the blink of an eye, the train entered the predetermined track.On the other side, the train roared past.

The passengers on the train didn't know that their lives were in danger, and they didn't know that a little life was lying on the side of the railroad track—the train roared past, and the child was not hurt at all.That scene happened to be captured by a reporter passing by.

People guessed that the switchman must be a very good man.Later, people gradually realized that the switchman was an ordinary person.His only advantage is that he is devoted to his duties and never misses a second of work.What is even more unexpected is that his son is a mentally handicapped child.

He told the reporter that he told his son over and over again: "There are too few jobs you can do when you grow up, and you have to be good at one of them." At that second, he "fell down"-this was the only movement he understood and did best when he was playing the war game with his father.

mother heart words
On one side are two trains that are about to collide, and on the other side is his beloved son. The choice of the switchman is not difficult. At the critical moment, the switchman uses his wisdom to protect both at the same time.Perhaps, when we are faced with a choice, it is precisely this kind of wisdom that is lacking.

Find the bright spot in life

One day, a young man sadly told his teacher: "I have nothing - mediocre appearance, weak physique, failed college entrance examination, no skills, parents are ordinary farmers, no 'family background' at all, find a job Work is hard…”

The teacher patiently listened to his dejected narration, and said calmly: "I will introduce a few people to you, you go and meet them, and I will listen to what you have to say when you come back."

So he met the following people——

A young man who has been sitting in a wheelchair all his life has become a famous scientist through tenacious struggle.

A young man who was laid off 10 times, still humming songs every day to find opportunities in the labor market, later became a senior manager of a company with his tenacity.

A rural girl who went out to work, because of a piece of information she got by chance, conceived a bold idea. Not only did she become rich, but she also made her village a well-known rich village...

When he returned to the teacher, he cheered up and said excitedly: "Teacher, compared with the few young people I have seen, I am much richer now than they were at the beginning. I know what I should do." I really put myself into life with full confidence, and with enthusiasm, diligence, and persistence, I made many amazing and brilliant achievements.

In fact, God is fair. He gives everyone some bright spots and shadows. The problem is that we should not always compare the bright spots of others with our own shadows, but forget to find our own bright spots. Discouragement, so that the mind is indulged in darkness all day long, without upward vitality, without positive progress, and ultimately makes my life less beautiful than it should have been.
