David Beckham is a famous English football player, but when he was a child, he wanted to be a cross-country team member. However, Beckham's family is very supportive. The whole family scrimped and saved and paid all his expenses.

Shortly after Beckham joined the team, he got an opportunity. The famous Essex cross-country race will be held in four months. But unfortunately, when I learned the news, I missed the registration time.

Nevertheless, the team owner is determined to seize this opportunity to make the team famous anyway. Next, the boss bought many gifts and visited Mr. huntly, the organizer of the contest.

As a result, the boss came back depressed with a gift. But he still didn't give up and sent several effective assistants to visit, still in vain.

At the internal meeting of the team, many team members said in dismay, "Did we just watch it and miss the Essex cross-country race?"

At this time, young Beckham volunteered: "Let me try, I believe I can get this quota." The boss looked at the kid and said with a little sneer, "With you?" Even I was ruthlessly refused to go. You are sure you can convince him, but what makes you? "

Beckham patted his chest and said, "I dare to make a military order, but if I can get it smoothly, I hope I can represent the team." Seeing that Beckham was so confident, the boss readily agreed with him.

With the address given by the boss, Beckham successfully found the villa in huntly, but was stopped by the nanny. "Hello." Beckham politely took out the team's business card and said, "Please tell Mr. huntly that I want to talk to him about racing." A few minutes later, the nanny came out and said, "I'm sorry, sir, you've been here several times." There is no need to contact again. "

Beckham still smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Please tell Mr. huntly that I will come again tomorrow. "

The next night, Beckham came to huntly's villa early. He chose to knock on the door at eight o'clock on time or be received by the nanny. Beckham smiled and said, "Please tell Mr. huntly that I want to talk to him about racing."

Nanny can't bear to brush his kindness. Go in and report. After a while, the nanny came out and said, "son, you'd better go." Mr. Wang will not see you. " Beckham said confidently, "I will come again tomorrow."

For the next three months, Beckham came every day. On weekends, Beckham insisted on coming twice a day, even though he never met Mr. huntly once.

But Beckham still didn't give up. One rainy night, he came again. It's the nanny who opens the door. The nanny said, "son, I have calculated it for you." Plus this time, you have been here for a hundred times. Our husband is watching the ball. He shouldn't see you. "

Beckham's eyes lit up when he learned that huntly was still a die-hard fan. He went to the hall and said, "Mr. huntly, I won't talk to you about cars today. Let's talk about football. " When he heard that the TV sound in huntly's room was much weaker, Beckham began to talk about the current situation of English football and his ambition.

After a while, the door opened and huntly came out. "You are a person who has a deep insight into football. I believe your future is bright for such a persistent person. Therefore, I want to talk to you about the details of this competition. " Next, the two talked for two hours in the study and settled all the details of Beckham's team's participation in the Essex cross-country race.

A month later, the Essex cross-country race was held as scheduled. With his outstanding performance, Beckham won the Essex cross-country race. Many years later, David Beckham turned to football. Because of his persistence, his football career is booming. His hard-won free kick and long pass skills have also become the magic weapon to win on the field.

Every time I go to see fans, many fans ask him the secret of success. Beckham always said earnestly: "I want to tell you that there is nothing stronger than persistence in this world." I want to send you a sentence, which is also a summary of my life: one setback is failure, and a hundred setbacks are success. "

2. Yi Jianlian

He was born in an ordinary working family in Heshan City, Guangdong Province. His parents are honest postal workers. Both parents are 1. More than 70 meters. Because of heredity, he was born taller than his peers, which made him look arrogant everywhere.

I came to Shenzhen with my father when I was two years old because of my job transfer.

When he was 3 years old, he learned how to take apart electrical appliances at home. When he was 4 years old, he beat his neighbor's children to their knees and begged for mercy. He has only been in kindergarten for a week, and he has become the king of destruction in the garden. All the students in the class don't like him, so they all avoid him. Teachers often call home to complain.

With fewer and fewer friends, he can't find the fun of playing basketball, so he just plays basketball. At that time, only basketball was his only friend. When he dribbles, he will say it out loud. In his opinion, this is normal, but others secretly call him crazy.

At the age of seven, he entered a better school in Shenzhen. He learns basketball from the most famous teacher in the school.

He doesn't believe that he can't do something. He swore to his mother, "Look, I will become the most valuable player in China's basketball history within 10 years." . In the eyes of his family, his words are just meaningless comfort to his ideals. Because, at that time, he accomplished nothing.

10 years old, his height is already 1. 80 meters. He firmly remembers the oath of the year. He formed a basketball team with several partners who also like basketball. He named it "Dream Team".

After the team was formed, they began intense training. My father was happy and worried when he saw it. He was glad that he saw a tenacious and threatening self from his son, but he was worried that his naughty son would use class time to practice.

In order to supervise his study, his father often has to ask for leave to visit him at school.

12 On his birthday, his father took him to the amusement park. Walking to the door, his father suddenly asked him if he wanted to go to the mountain, because there was a junior professional competition in the gymnasium there. But there were so many people waiting for sightseeing bus that there were no seats for a long time. Father suddenly suggested taking a shortcut so that time could be faster.

He was surprised that he had been here several times, but he couldn't find the shortcut his father said. Father smiled, turned a corner, pointed to a steep slope and said, just climb up from here.

He froze. Father ignored him and turned it up with the help of a small tree next to him. Eight minutes later, they walked to the front of the gym. The father pointed to the road and said meaningfully, son, success is actually like rushing to the top of the mountain. If we all go to sightseeing bus, I don't know when it will be our turn. Even if we do, we will be left far behind by others.

Since it is only a process, why not choose other ways, such as walking? Although there are thorns and steep slopes ahead, you may fall down many times, but as long as you persist, you can always walk in front of others. Only in this way can you form your own advantages. His father's words moved him.

Because of his father's support and encouragement, he quickly signed up for the street basketball match in Shenzhen. Although he was eliminated in the first round, he was not discouraged. He high-fived the athletes and vowed to come back next year.

Shortly after returning to China, he didn't expect that Dai Yixin, the coach of Shenzhen Sports School, actually heard the news. He was glad that he had met Bole. Thanks to special and systematic training, his height and skills have been greatly improved.

200 1, his height is 2. 02 meters, he was selected for the China National Youth Team. In 2005-2006, he became the youngest MVP in CBA history with excellent results. He is a popular figure in China basketball, Yi Jianlian, who is known as the popular king of the new generation.

In August 2007, he signed a contract with Milwaukee Bucks, becoming the fourth China player to enter the NBA after Wang, Bater and Yao Ming, and the first China player to experience the draft process on the spot.

His famous saying is: "under one's ideal, thorns and setbacks are nothing." Despise them and climb up. You are the god who really controls your own destiny on the top of the mountain. "

3. Mohammad Dehasa

Mohammed de Asaf, who is less than 24 years old, is a refugee in Hanyounis refugee camp in Gaza. In order to participate in the pan-Arab draft contest "Arab Idol" and find a way out from the depressed job market, Gaza sneaked out of Gaza to Cairo, and then went to Lebanon to participate in the sea election. However, due to the blockade of Gaza, when he arrived in Beirut, the registration was over.

Desperate Asaf called his mother to discuss, and finally decided to climb over the wall and enter the hotel where the draft was held, but the organizing committee still maintained the original decision. Another Palestinian who participated in the competition heard his voice, gave him the quota and told him, "I know I can't make it to the end, but you can."

The final outcome is happy. Asaf defeated two finalists from Egypt and Syria, becoming the first Palestinian ever to win the title of "Arab Idol".

This is a hot topic in the whole Arab world. Because of the time difference, the live broadcast time of "Arab Idol" is in the early hours of Beijing, but my father in his eighties always stays in front of the TV without reminding. He is an old refugee who fled from his hometown of Palestine to Syria after the humiliating years of 1948.

His love for Asaf is not so much a support as a long-lost sense of belonging and a feeling of losing his hometown.

The persistence of the old man also touched four children who had never set foot in Palestine. For them, the motherland is usually just a noun, which is often used when filling out various application forms.

I believe that at this time, there are countless Palestinian families in the same situation as me in Europe, the United States, Chile, Argentina, Guyana and other countries and regions.

Asaf's success shows others that the Palestinians are not only engaged in politics and guerrilla warfare, but also capable of showing their talents in different fields. They have their own culture and art, and even because of their special historical background, they have things that other nationalities don't have, such as prison culture.

Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli prisons are on a hunger strike, demanding that prison officials provide them with live signals of "Arab idols". In the letter to Asaf, they gave the most heroic support in history-"You must refuel, we are all losing meat for you."

On social networking sites, Algerians left a message to Asaf: "Our family didn't cook yesterday, and everyone was watching you. This weekend, you are our big meal. " Palestinian works of art reflect reality. The depressed life and the continuous Israeli occupation inspired them, but at the same time they expressed their pursuit of peace through music.

1988 Ramzi Aburedwan, a stone-throwing boy who appeared in an iconic photo, grew up to be a bard running for peace; DAM, a rap group composed of three Israeli Arab youths, sang songs representing the Palestinian people, such as "Who is the terrorist Fenzi" and "I Need Freedom", which spread all over the Arab world and many European and American countries.

More Palestinians find that music is a more effective weapon than stone. At the beginning of 2009, people sang "We Will Not Fall" to comfort more than 400 people who were bombed by Israelis for nearly a month in Gaza/KLOC-0.

For the Palestinians of three generations of refugees, the previous generation was a painful generation, and they personally experienced the catastrophe of losing their homes; We are a failed generation, living overseas and unable to support the nation and the country; Then there will be a vague generation, uncertain about the future and not familiar with the past.

Asaf has successfully become a symbol, uniting three generations of Palestinians, Palestinians, organizations and factions with different political ideas, and uniting all Arabs who support democracy and freedom and yearn for fairness and justice under the background of the Arab revolution.

Dr. Johnson

His father runs a big second-hand bookstall. Once, there was a program not far away, and everyone went to the market. It is raining. His father wants Dr. John to distribute some books and transport them to the market. His father called him three times to go, but Dr. Johnson was absorbed in reading a thick and big book at this moment, but he pretended not to hear him and ignored him. His father sighed.

I have to go by myself. At that time, Dr. Johnson was eighteen. Fifty years later, one day at eleven o'clock at noon, the local people saw the bloated old man kneeling in the street. He put his hat under his arm, put his crutch aside, bowed his head and knelt in the sun, tears streaming down his face.

By this time, Dr. Johnson had become famous and everyone came to see him. He said to everyone: 50 years ago, on the same day and at the same time, I didn't listen to my father, and now I am kneeling here to confess!

5. Lafite

Raphael, an Italian Renaissance painter, painted a portrait of Maria holding her son Jesus. On her right is an old man and on her left is a maid. But there is a big blank right below, and I'm wondering what to fill in.

At this time, he saw two children approaching the bakery window from the studio window. The older one is about four or five years old, holding his chin up, looking up at the sky and talking to his brother. The younger brother leaned his head on his arm, looked at the sky and listened to his brother. Raphael thought it was beautiful, so he painted them at the bottom of the painting, and with wings, they became two angels.
