People should strive for success in life, not be discouraged. Inspirational story

There was a young painter who lived in a small and narrow house before he became famous and made a living by painting portraits.

A week later, the portrait was completed, and the rich man came to pick up the painting as promised. At this time, the rich man had evil thoughts in his heart. He deceived him because he was young and not famous, and refused to pay him the remuneration as originally agreed. The rich man thought: "The figure in the painting looks like me.

I would rather not sell this painting than suffer your humiliation. Today you broke your promise and broke the contract, and you will definitely have to pay in the future." Twenty times the price." "It's a joke, twenty times, it's two hundred thousand! I'm not stupid enough to spend two hundred thousand on this painting." "Well, let's wait and see." Said the rich man who left angrily.
