Pierre, a French teenager, likes dancing since he was a child. His ideal is to be an excellent dancer. However, because of his poor family, his parents who barely made ends meet simply could not afford to send Pierre to dance school.
Pierre's parents had to send him to a sewing shop as an apprentice, hoping that after he learned a craft, he could help his family reduce the financial burden. Pierre, who works in a sewing shop for more than ten hours every day, hates this job. He doesn't have to pay for the heavy work, which is not enough for his living expenses and apprenticeship. The important thing is that he feels that he is wasting his time, and he is depressed that his ideal cannot be realized. He even thinks that it is better to end his life earlier than to live in such pain.
In despair, Pierre suddenly remembered Boudrie, the father of ballet music whom he admired since childhood. Pierre felt that only Boudrie could understand his dedication to art, so he decided to write a letter to Budri, hoping that Boudrie would accept him as an apprentice. At the end of the letter, he wrote: If Budley doesn't reply within a week and refuses to accept him as a student, he will have to devote himself to art and commit suicide by jumping into the river.
Soon, Pierre, devastated by youth, received a reply from Boudrie. Pierre thought that Boudrie was moved by his insistence and agreed to accept him as an apprentice. But the letter didn't mention that he was a student. Just telling your own life experience. Boudrie told Pierre that he wanted to be a scientist when he was young. But because his family was poor at that time, his parents could not send him to school, so he had to live a life of singing with street performers. Finally, he said, in this world, there is always a certain distance between reality and ideal, so people should choose to live first. Only by living well can the ideal star shine. A person who doesn't even cherish his own life is not worthy to talk about art.
Pierre was suddenly awakened by Budley's answer. Later, Pierre studied sewing skills hard. He started his fashion career in Paris at the age of 23. Soon, he established his own company and clothing brand, which is now the world-famous Pierre Cardin Company.
Pierre's company has developed rapidly because he is committed to fashion design and management. Pierre had 200 employees when he was 28. Many of his customers are world celebrities. Nowadays, Pierre Cardin brand owns not only the clothing industry, but also clothing, watches, glasses, cosmetics and so on. Pierre Cardin not only became an extraordinary billionaire, but also products all over the world were named after him.
In fact, Pierre Cardin said in an interview with reporters, I don't have the qualities of a dancer. Being a dancer is just an illusory dream of being young and frivolous. Pierre Cardin wouldn't be here today if he hadn't given up his dream of becoming a dancer.
Yes, every young man has his own ideals, and he has been excited and depressed for his great ideals. Only by diligently doing everything around you and taking every step of life in a down-to-earth manner can we approach our ideals faster.
My friend, maybe one day, like Pierre Cardin, you will suddenly find that your ideal is always with you, but you haven't found it.

Major Franks lay in a lifeless ward, staring at the Christmas tree in a daze. This is the happiest time of the year, but Franks is very sad. When he was in Cambodia seven months ago, a Grenade stabbed his left leg. The doctor has confirmed that he will be amputated.
Franks graduated from West Point Military Academy and is the captain of the school baseball team. He made up his mind to join the army for life, but now it seems that retirement is the only option. Although Franks feels that he still has a lot to contribute to the army, such as combat experience, technical knowledge and problem-solving ability, he also knows that seriously injured soldiers rarely return to active service: they must pass the annual health check, including marching for two miles on foot. Franks is not sure whether he can do that with his prosthetic leg.
The most sad thing for Franks after the operation is that he can no longer show his majestic posture on the baseball field. In the weekly baseball game, when it was his turn to hit the ball, he had to rely on others to run the base for him.
One day, while waiting for the batting round, Franks noticed a teammate slipping into third base. He thought, what would happen if I made the same attempt? When Franks hit the ball, he hit the ball in the middle of the field with one stroke. He waved to the runner to get out of the way, moved his stiff legs and began to run painfully. Between first base and second base, he saw the outfielder throw the ball to second base. So he closed his eyes, tried his best to push himself forward and slipped into second base. The referee shouted, "safe entry!" " Franks smiled with relief.
A few years later, Franks led a squadron through harsh terrain for field training. The boss doubted whether an amputee could accept the challenge, but Franks gave a positive answer with his actions. "It brought me closer to the soldiers," he said. "Every time my prosthetic leg gets stuck in the mud, I remind myself,' This is what happens when you stand without legs.' "Today, Franks has been promoted to a four-star general." Losing a leg made me realize that the limit depends on your attitude. "He said with emotion," the key is to focus on what you have, not what you don't have. "

He was born in an ordinary peasant family in Indiana, USA. At the age of 6, my father died unfortunately, leaving my mother and their brother and sister. In order to make a living, mothers go out early and return late, work everywhere, and basically have no time to take care of them. As the eldest son, he is very sensible and takes the initiative to take care of his younger brothers and sisters.
/kloc-at the age of 0/2, his mother couldn't bear the burden of life and took them to remarry. But his relationship with his stepfather is not very harmonious, and he often feels at someone else's house. In order not to look at his stepfather's face, he is determined to stand on his own feet and change his destiny with his hardworking hands, so that his younger brothers and sisters can live a happy life. So, he dropped out of school before he graduated from primary school and found a part-time job on a farm. Although the work on the farm is very hard, the feeling of self-reliance still makes him very gratified.
With a bright future, he worked tirelessly on the farm for several years. During this period, he also grew from a child to an adult. When he grew up, he gradually realized that there was no future in doing farm work, and dark work could only solve his own food and clothing problem, but could not change his fate at all.
In order to find a better job for himself, he gave up his job on the farm and became a painter. After working for several years, he found that painters were not suitable for him either. Then, he became a fireman again, but he still felt that his future was bleak. Since then, he has changed a lot of jobs, such as selling insurance, being a soldier, being a sheriff ... He has tried all the jobs he can do, but he still hasn't found a job that suits him. In a blink of an eye, he has entered the age of no doubt. Looking back on these forty years, he was horrified to find that he had accomplished nothing. During that time, he hesitated to the extreme and kept asking himself, what am I suitable for? How can I succeed in my career?
However, the hardships of life did not make him back down, but strengthened his determination. After a short period of pain, he continued to look for his own sky. Soon, he opened a gas station in KFC. Business at the gas station is not bad, with many customers every day. He was genuinely happy and saw hope in his eyes.
When he opened a gas station, whenever he saw a hungry driver who had traveled long distances, he felt sorry for them and often invited them to have dinner together. The drivers praised his food, especially his fried chicken, which was very delicious. This made him suddenly have an idea, why not prepare some convenient food to meet the needs of these drivers? Besides, my cooking is not bad.
Just do it. He sells fried chicken next to his gas station. At first, people just bought one or two when they came to refuel. Later, they found that the fried chicken here tastes very unique, so they introduced relatives and friends to buy it. It didn't take long for his fried chicken to catch fire, and his business was unexpectedly good, earning more than the gas station. It is true that "planting flowers is intentional, but planting willows is unintentional". His fried chicken soon spread all over KFC, so people came to his gas station in succession, and some even came to taste his fried chicken specially, not to refuel.
Due to the sharp increase in customers, the venue of gas stations is even more overwhelmed. He had to buy a piece of land across the street and invest in a fast food restaurant that could accommodate more than 150 people. Of course, the main food is fried chicken. However, his business is not smooth. First of all, in order to build roads, he tore down his own fast food restaurant. Then, forced by life, he sold the patent of fried chicken to others; Later, because of trademark infringement, I fought a lawsuit with others; It was not until he was 88 years old that he really had his own career. This ill-fated man is Harland Sanders, the founder of KFC. Today, his fried chicken is popular all over the world, with more than 15000 chain stores around the world.
It turns out that God's procrastination is not a refusal. As long as you set a goal and go forward bravely, you will step into the hall of success sooner or later.
