At the age of 3, her parents divorced. Because of the poverty of family and origin, the family is discriminated against. My mother took her to live a wandering life. Because they couldn't afford the rent, they boarded on the floor of a friend's house.

Nevertheless, she never shed tears. Because her mother used to be an opera singer, she was influenced by her mother at an early age. She fell in love with music when she was 4 years old and often learned to sing with her mother.

After school, her academic performance was not excellent. In an exam, she got 6 points in math. The teacher scolded her in front of the whole class, but she stood up confidently and said, "Mathematics is useless to me. I want to be a singer in the future. " As soon as this language came out, it was immediately laughed at by the students. In the laughter of her classmates, she clenched her fist tightly.

/kloc-started composing music at the age of 0/3. /kloc-When she was 0/4 years old, she found several recording studios to be their backup audition singers. After graduating from high school, I came to new york with an immature dream despite my family's opposition.

When she first arrived in new york, she could only work as a waitress in a bar, share a small house with others, and often put a mattress on the living room floor for the night. She often can only live on a packet of macaroni and cheese every week. In those months when the economy was extremely tight, she had to rely on hard bread and ice water donated by the owner of a nearby deli to fill her stomach.

However, she did not give in. In the dim light, she kept writing songs until her hands were numb and she fell asleep at her desk. She is eagerly looking forward to a contract and a record. However, she went to all the record companies on the streets of new york and was turned away.

A year later, she signed a contract with Island Records, a subsidiary of Universal Records. She is highly appreciated in the new company.

She has always believed that she is a beautiful butterfly, and the rain will never wet her wings flying for her dreams. Finally, she succeeded and ushered in her beautiful spring. This is Mariah Carey.

All the property owned by Colonel Sanders after his retirement is just a small restaurant near the highway. Although the hotel is small, it is quite distinctive and unique. But the most popular and favorite dish for the guests is the crispy and delicious fried chicken he invented and cooked, which brought him considerable wealth. For years, his guests have been praising his fried chicken. But what he never expected was that due to the diversion of the expressway, the hotel business suddenly plummeted and finally had to close down. In desperation, Colonel Sanders decided to sell his fried chicken recipe to other restaurants in exchange for a meager return.

In the process of sales promotion, no restaurant is willing to buy his recipes and laugh at him from time to time. It is not pleasant for a person to be laughed at at at any age, let alone at retirement age, and it is even more unacceptable. This is exactly what happened to Colonel Sanders. He was not only laughed at but also rejected one after another, which shows how much these experiences have influenced him. But he never gave up. Before finding a buyer, he drove all over the country, eating and living in the car. After being rejected 1009 times, someone finally agreed to adopt his idea and buy his formula. Since then, his chain stores have spread all over the world; It is also recorded in the history of business. This is the origin of KFC.

In memory of Colonel Sanders, people set up his statue in front of all KFC stores as the image brand of KFC. As the saying goes: "A sharpshooter kills with one shot!" Lack of perseverance or thinking that you can't get what you want is the key reason that prevents most people from being brave enough to change. If you can stick to your goals and persevere, you will soon surpass most people. Remember, you control your life. If you are determined to achieve a goal, there will be a way to succeed.

Unfortunately, he is a congenital "brittle bone disease" patient, commonly known as a glass doll, and even sneezing will shatter his ribs. When he was born, every bone was "crushed" by the pressure of birth, and his limbs drooped like a broken rag doll. The nurses simply nicknamed him "Tutankhamun", which was the name of an Egyptian Pharaoh's mummy.

He won't sit up until he is three or four years old. But his bone density is too low to support the pressure brought by his upright body. In addition, his leg bone is severely and permanently twisted, and he will never walk in this life. More unfortunately, he reached the growth limit when his height was about 1 m. At school age, he can't leave the wheelchair for a moment. Only at night can he lie on the floor of the bedroom and relax his tired body. As he grew older, his fractures became more and more frequent. This forced him to often drop out of school and rest at home. For him, physical pain is not so uncomfortable, but the most unbearable thing is mental loneliness. He tasted loneliness when he was a child.

On Halloween in the fourth grade of primary school, all the children put on ferocious masks and went out to play pranks and had fun. He lay on the floor and rolled around happily. Just when he got carried away, his left leg suddenly got stuck between the door frame and the corner. Then, he heard a crisp "click" sound, followed by heartbreaking pain, which made him extremely painful. Because of his special circumstances, once an accidental fracture occurs, it is necessary to strictly ensure that the body is fixed at the incident site, and then stay still for six weeks, so that the bone can heal slowly and automatically. Eating, drinking and sleeping in the meantime can only be solved on the spot. He is going crazy: "Why? What did I do wrong? "

"Son, are you willing to treat this kind of suffering as a gift or a burden of life?" Mother looked at him quietly, but her eyes were firm and powerful.

This sentence gave him great shock and encouragement, and suddenly opened a window in his dark life. The inspiration of wisdom filled his heart like bright sunshine, making him no longer angry and complaining.

Later, his mother told him: "You should remember that pain is inevitable for everyone and will come to everyone sooner or later, but our attitude towards pain is dispensable." From then on, he learned never to give up, and the despair and helplessness that often haunted him had long since vanished.

In high school, the school's radio and television station became an important place for him to play his imagination. During his four years in high school, he made various radio programs, including talk shows, dating programs and current affairs reviews. He also produced a school TV series, which attracted many fans when it was broadcast on the cable TV station in the town. Later, this series was selected to participate in the Columbia University Video Works Competition and won the silver prize for drama works. During high school, he also served as the vice president of the student union. As a member of the All-American Boys Association, he had the honor to talk with President Clinton at the White House. Finally, President Clinton invited his family to the Presidential Box in the United Center Gymnasium to attend the Democratic National Convention that evening. He graduated from the University of Chicago with the belief of never giving up. At the graduation ceremony, when his name rang, the crowded auditorium suddenly sounded endless cheers. On the rostrum, sitting in a wheelchair, he held high his diploma and was extremely excited.

His life experience is admirable. From high school to university, many companies, schools and churches invited him to give a speech, but at that time he didn't take it as a formal job. One day, his father said to him, "Son, if you want to change the world, you can try to be a professional speaker." Many people like to hear your story. They all admire you. You can also be an influential person all over the world like anthony robbins. "These words suddenly lit up his belief. Indeed, can't being a professional speaker also help you achieve the goal of changing others? So, he began to speak everywhere and practice his expressive ability.

In order to cope with the thorny issues raised in the speech, he went back to school to study psychotherapy and neurolinguistics courses, and obtained professional certificates; Later, I applied for a doctor's degree in clinical hypnosis at the university. At the same time, he also set up a training clinic to practice while studying. Later, he became a psychotherapist and an internationally renowned speaker. He visited 47 states in the United States and toured the world, inspiring thousands of listeners with his own struggle experience. Anthony robbins, the master of inspiration, and Bill Clinton, the former president of the United States, were both moved by his passion for life.

He is Sean Stephenson from America. His book, Rejecting a Failed Life, sells well all over the world.

Yes, people will always encounter setbacks, diseases and pains in life, but as long as we have a strong will and perseverance, we can get out of the predicament, create a colorful life and live our truest self.
