1. Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice"

He saw the problems of China with a large population and little land, food shortage and unstable output of farmers. From then on, he devoted himself to research, experiment and rice research. Others disdain his efforts, and even think that he is just a blind man lighting a lamp-wasting wax.

Some developed countries in the world can't do anything about the yield per mu of rice, not to mention that he has devoted himself to exploration. However, Yuan Longping did not give up. He deeply knew that China's future needs to be guaranteed by its own food. Finally, Yuan Longping, together with his carefully cultivated new type of rice called "magic rice" by westerners, was recorded in history.

2. Li Ka-shing's success

In p>195, when the plastic flower factory in Li Ka-shing, a "business giant", was established, he chose a warehouse as the factory in order to save meager rent. Soon after, due to the continuous rainstorm in Hong Kong, the newly acquired plastic machines were damaged one by one, and it was necessary to find another factory to operate less than two months after opening.

Li Ka-shing didn't blame others on the grounds of "bad luck", but began to think that every thing he did in the future should be considered comprehensively and leave room for himself.

In the future, he has been trained to be extremely cautious. When he bought a yacht, he customized two engines and two generators for emergencies. Even, "if both of them break down, I still have a lifeboat with a motor on board." It was because of Li Ka-shing's long-term vision that he developed the company.

3. Meng Mu moved three times

Mencius' mother, and the world called her Meng Mu. When Mencius was a child, he lived near the cemetery. Mencius learned some things like worship and played games to handle funerals. His mother said, "This place is not suitable for children to live in." So he moved his family to the market, and Mencius learned something about business and slaughter.

The mother thought again, "This place is still not suitable for children to live in." I moved my family to the Xuegong. Mencius learned the etiquette of bowing and advancing and retreating in the imperial court.

Meng Mu said, "This is where children live." Settled down here. When Mencius grew up, he learned six arts and gained the reputation of a great scholar.

4. Injury to Zhong Yong

Zhong Yong was brilliant, quick-witted and eloquent since childhood. However, his father didn't realize that he should cultivate Zhong Yong well, but just took him to visit fellow villagers everywhere. As a result, Zhong Yong lost his outstanding talent when he grew up, and became an ordinary person from a genius.

It is because his father lacked long-term vision and did not provide Zhong Yong with a good learning environment, which led to the unfortunate ending that he was "an hour old but not good". Only paying attention to immediate interests can only get small profits; If you have a long-term vision, you can laugh at the end and reap the fruits of victory.

5. Disgraced legs

Han Xin lost his parents when he was very young. He mainly earned his living by fishing for money. He was often given alms by an old woman who rinsed silk cotton, and he was repeatedly discriminated against and snubbed by people around him. Once, a group of hooligans humiliated Han Xin in public.

A butcher said to Han Xin: Although you are tall and big, and like to carry a sword with you, you are actually very timid. Dare you stab me with your sword if you have the skill? If you dare not, just get under my crotch. Han Xin knew that he was alone, and recklessly would certainly suffer. So, in front of many onlookers, I got under the butcher's crotch.

After Han Xin became rich, he found the butcher. The butcher was very scared and thought that Han Xin would kill him for revenge. Unexpectedly, Han Xin treated the butcher well and made him a military guard. He told the butcher that there would be no Han Xin today without the "leg humiliation" of that year.
