Once upon a time there was a poor boy whose father was a shoemaker. After his father died, his mother had to take him to another marriage to make a living. One day, he had a chance to meet the prince. He sang a poem in front of the prince with hope. Recite the script. After the performance, the prince asked him what reward he wanted. The poor boy boldly asked, I want to write a poem and play in the Royal Theatre.

The prince looked at the stupid boy with a clown's big nose from head to toe, and then said to him, "Just because you can recite a script doesn't mean you can write it. That's two different things. I advise you to learn a useful craft. " However, when he came home, he broke his piggy bank, bid farewell to his mother and stepfather who never cared about him, and left home to pursue his ideals. At this time, he was only 14 years old, but he believed that as long as he worked hard, the name Andersen would be passed down through the ages.

When he arrived in Copenhagen, he rang the doorbell from door to door, ringing the doorbell of almost all the dignitaries, but no one appreciated him. He was ragged and poor in the street, but he remained enthusiastic.

Finally, at 1835, his fairy tales attracted children's attention and turned over a new page belonging to Andersen. His fairy tales have been translated into many languages, and no book can match them except the Bible. It has been 16 years since he left home.

Second, Einstein's ideal: to be a violinist like Paganini.

At the beginning of last century, a teenager dreamed of becoming a violinist like Paganini. He practices the piano as soon as he is free. He was ecstatic and possessed, but he made little progress. Even his parents think that the poor boy really plays badly and has no musical talent at all, but they are afraid that telling the truth will hurt the teenager's self-esteem.

One day, a teenager went to consult an old pianist. The old pianist said, "Son, please play a song for me first." The teenager played the third of Paganini's 24 etudes, which was full of flaws and could not bear to listen to it. At the end of the piece, the old pianist asked the boy, "Why do you like playing the violin so much?"

The boy said, "I want to succeed. I want to be a great violinist like Paganini." The old pianist asked again, "Are you happy?" The boy replied, "I am very happy." The old violinist took the boy to his garden and said to him, "son, you are very happy, which shows that you have succeeded." Why do you have to be a great violinist like Paganini? " In my opinion, happiness itself is success. "

After listening to the pianist, the boy was deeply moved. He finally understood that happiness is the lowest cost and lowest risk success in the world, but it can really benefit people. If you don't ask for anything else, you are likely to fall into the swamp of disappointment, depression and depression.

The fire of fanaticism in the hearts of teenagers has since subsided. He still often plays the violin, but he is no longer trapped in Paganini's dream. Who is this teenager? Albert Einstein still loved the violin all his life, but he played badly, but he enjoyed it.

3. Joule's Ideal: Scientists

Joule, a famous British scientist, loved physics since he was a child. He often does some experiments about electricity and heat by himself. One holiday, Joule and his brother traveled to the suburbs. Joule, who is clever and studious, never forgets to do his physics experiments even when he is playing.

He found a lame horse, led by his brother, and quietly hid behind him. He used a volt battery to electrify the horse, trying to see how the animals reacted after being stimulated by the current. As a result, the reaction he wanted to see appeared. The horse jumped wildly after being shocked and almost kicked its younger brother.

Although the danger has appeared, it has not affected the mood of little Joule who loves to do experiments. He and giggle rowed to the lake surrounded by mountains, where Joule wanted to try the echo. They filled the musket with gunpowder and then pulled the trigger. Who knows "bang", a long flame spouted from the muzzle and burned Joule's eyebrows, almost scaring my brother into the lake.

At this time, the sky was covered with thick clouds, lightning and thunder. Joule, who just wanted to go ashore to take shelter from the rain, found that it took a long time to hear the thunder after every lightning. What happened?

Joule didn't take shelter from the rain, dragging his brother up a hill and carefully recording the time of lightning and thunder with his pocket watch. After school started, Joule almost wanted to tell the teacher all the experiments he had done and ask for advice from the teacher.

The teacher smiled at Joule, who was eager to learn and curious, and patiently explained to him: "The speed and harmony of light are different. The speed of light is fast and the speed of sound is slow, so people always want to see lightning before hearing thunder, but in fact lightning and thunder happen at the same time. "

Joule suddenly realized. Since then, he has been more fascinated by learning scientific knowledge. Through continuous study and careful observation and calculation, he finally discovered the mechanical equivalence of heat and the law of conservation of energy, and became an excellent scientist.

Fourth, Lin Qingxuan's ideal: to be a writer.

There is a boy from the countryside who has been working in the fields with his father since childhood. When he was resting in Tiantou, he looked at the continuous mountains in the distance and daydreamed.

Father asked him what he was thinking. He replied that he didn't want to farm or go to work in the future, and someone would remit a lot of money sitting at home (his basis was that he wanted to write his own article when he saw the teacher writing it), but his father naturally didn't believe it. The boy learned from the book that there is a mysterious pyramid in Egypt and said that he must go and see it when he grows up.

Father shook his head and said that he could not leave daydreaming. However, to his father's surprise, the boy studied hard to realize his dream. After graduating from college, he wrote a good article and soon became famous. Money orders really flew over like snowflakes. With money, the desire to see the pyramids in Egypt has also come true.

Then he remembered the conversation with his father, stood in front of the pyramid and called to his father: "Father, now my dream has come true!" " "This man is Lin Qingxuan, who has been rated as one of the top ten best-selling authors in Taiwan Province Province for ten consecutive years.

1947, a boy was born in an ordinary family in postwar Austria, but in his diary he decided to be the president of the United States when he grew up. But how can we realize such a grand ambition? At a young age, he had lofty goals. After thinking, he drew up a series of chain goals:

To be the president of the United States, you must first be the governor of the United States → run for governor, have strong financial backing → get the support of the consortium, must be integrated into the consortium → must be integrated into the consortium, must marry a rich and powerful woman → must be a celebrity → The quick way to become a celebrity is to become a movie star → practice your body and masculinity before becoming a movie star.

With this in mind, he began to work step by step. One day, when he saw the famous gymnastics chairman Kuhl, he thought bodybuilding was a good idea to keep healthy, so he became interested in bodybuilding. He began to practice bodybuilding hard and persistently, and he longed to be the strongest man in the world. Three years later, with developed muscles and sculptural figure, he began to become a bodybuilder.

In the next few years, he included bodybuilders from Europe, the world, the world and the Olympic Games. At the age of 22, he entered Hollywood. In Hollywood, he spent ten years using his achievements in sports to show an indomitable and indomitable tough guy image.

Finally, he became famous in the entertainment circle. When his film career was in full swing, his girlfriend's family finally accepted the "black-faced cultivator" after nine years of love. His girlfriend is the niece of the famous President Kennedy.

Married life has been loving for more than ten years. He and his wife had four children and established a typical family of "five good". In 2003, at the age of 57, he retired from the film industry and turned to politics, successfully running for the governor of California.

He is Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is persistent in his goals and never forgets his goals in life. He pursues the first spirit and has his own business mind. His experience reminds people of a proverb: we can go as far as our thoughts go. Schwarzenegger has so much to learn! Is a good example!
