A person living in the world should be good at finding another way. If he just follows in the footsteps of his predecessors, he will never find heaven. Here are some stories of celebrities who are diligent in thinking.

Celebrities are diligent in thinking stories 1: completing unfinished studies.

Great director Steven? Spielberg decided to return to the University of California to complete his unfinished credits in the film department.

1965, Steven? Spielberg made a 22-minute short film in his sophomore year of film department and attended the Atlanta Film Festival. Hollywood investors saw it and signed with him immediately. Spielberg dropped out of school to develop in Hollywood. Facts have proved that this step is correct. If he hadn't seized the opportunity to finish his studies, he might not have become a master.

But 40 years later, despite Spielberg's great success, he still cares about his unfinished studies when he was young. In the dead of night, Spielberg always hears a voice say to him: Today you are the most powerful person in Hollywood, and your name is the guarantee of fame and fortune for young people, but so what? You broke your promise. No matter how rich and famous you are, there is still a small stain on your character, because you used to be a deserter.

Spielberg returned to college, re-registered under a pseudonym, and handed in papers under a pseudonym. Only a few professors know his identity, and his homework is sent to scholars outside the school to review with other students. This course requires students to hand in their film exercises. Spielberg selected 65,438+02-minute movies from Schindler's List, and also submitted clips of Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. What's the total score and grade given to him by Kelly, an assistant professor in the film department of the university? Okay？ Any comments? This student has a good command of sound, lighting, editing and script management? .

The owner of Jurassic Park will minor in a course called Wildlife. The professor said that he was good at dinosaur knowledge and was modest and polite in class, except that one day he put one foot on the desk in class. He apologized to the teacher and explained that he sprained his leg while playing skateboard with his son the day before. The professor reminded the other students in the class not to have any admiration for this Chinese classmate, but to treat him as an ordinary person. The students didn't ask for his autograph, but on graduation day, they told their parents: Steven and me? Spielberg graduated in the same year.

In the vanity world, too many people believe it? Successful people? You don't have to finish college. Take Gates as an example, saying that Gates didn't finish Harvard either. However, the unfinished study is a lifelong psychological trauma, even if it is stitched up, it still leaves a scar in my heart. One day, we will all feel sorry for an unfinished homework, an unfinished job, or someone who failed us when we were young, and realize that all fame and fortune can't be compensated. This kind of regret, like rheumatism, usually occurs after middle age. Spielberg cured his rheumatism at all costs. He is a blessed man.

Celebrities are diligent in thinking. Story 2: Do your best in everything.

Powell, the current US Secretary of State, does not come from a noble family. The black tycoon originally came from a humble family. Powell was ambitious when he was young. In order to help his family, he used his strong body to do all kinds of heavy work.

One summer, Powell worked as a handyman in a soda factory. Besides washing bottles, the boss also asked him to clean the floor, clean up and so on. He works hard without complaint. Once, someone broke 50 bottles of soda while carrying products, leaving glass fragments and bubbles everywhere in the workshop. Generally speaking, this should be cleaned up by the workers who knocked over the products. In order to save labor, the boss had to work quickly and clean Powell. At that time, he was a little angry and wanted to lose his temper, but he thought that he was a cleaning handyman in the factory, which was also his job. So Powell tried his best to clean up the messy dirt on the ground.

Two days later, the head of the factory informed him that he was promoted to the head of the bottling department. From then on, he remembered a truth: if you do your best in everything, someone will always notice you.

Soon, Powell was admitted to the military school with excellent results. Later, Powell became the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the United States and was awarded the title of four-star general; He was also appointed commander-in-chief of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Allied Forces. He is currently the Secretary of State in President Bush's Cabinet.

Powell has been working hard. When working in the Pentagon, four-star generals are often the first to get to the office and the last to get off work. Colleagues once praised:? We black generals take the lead everywhere! ?

Powell gave a speech at West Point Military Academy. Do your best in everything? For the title, I told my classmates a very philosophical story: on the construction site, three workers were digging ditches. A proud man relies on a shovel every time he digs. I will definitely be a real estate boss in the future! ? The second one is too hard, complaining about the long hours and low pay for doing this inferior job. The third worked silently and sweatily, thinking about how to dig ditches and pits to lay a solid foundation. After several years, the first one still reluctantly took a shovel and did the hard work of digging ditches; The second lied about work-related injuries, found an excuse to retire early, and received a meager pension that can only make ends meet every month; The third became the boss of a construction company.

It is said that the military academy regards Powell's story as an educator? Try your best to do everything well? Living teaching materials.

Celebrities are diligent in thinking about story 3: People who carry sedan chairs are not necessarily unhappy.

Russell, the most influential British thinker in the 20th century, came to Sichuan, China on 1924. At that time, China coincided with the era of warlordism, with frequent wars, broken mountains and rivers and poor people. Luo has just finished writing his masterpiece On Happiness, and he hopes to guide the people of China out of their misery with his ideological education. It was summer, and the weather in Sichuan was very sultry. Russell and several people accompanying him boarded Mount Emei in bamboo sedan chairs carried by two people. The mountain road is steep and steep, and several porters are so tired that they are sweating. As a thinker and writer, Russell, in this case, has no mood to appreciate the scenery of Mount Emei, but to think about the mood of several bearers. He thought, the bearers must hate their sedan chairs, and they have to carry them up the mountain in such hot weather. Even they may be thinking, why are they sedan chair people and not sedan chair people?

While Russell was thinking, he came to a small platform halfway up the mountain, and the accompanying people stopped the bearers to have a rest. Russell got off the bamboo sedan chair and carefully observed the expression of the bearers. He saw the bearers sitting in rows, taking out their pipes, talking and laughing, telling happy things. He didn't mean to blame the weather and the people in the sedan chair, nor did he mean to feel pain for his fate. They also told Russell some funny jokes about their hometown and asked Russell some foreign things curiously. During the conversation, they laughed happily from time to time.

Russell told this story in his article The Character of China People. Moreover, he came to a famous outlook on life: it is wrong to look at the happiness of others with self-righteous eyes.

Shakespeare once had a classic metaphor when he talked about the situation of life. He said: our body and mind are a garden, and our subjective will is the gardener of the garden. Whether we plant exotic flowers and plants, cultivate a single tree, or let it be deserted, the power is in our own hands. In other words, if you want to be happy, you can do it yourself, and the power is in your own hands. Everything is in our personal subjective will. We can make our life full of joy, and we can also make our life colorful. The environment is created by the mind. No matter where we are, we can regard it as our own blessed land. When you succeed, enjoy your success; In adversity, be happy for the hope of the future.

People who sit in sedan chairs are not necessarily happy, and people who carry sedan chairs are not necessarily unhappy.
