Daily essay: Don't despair when times are bad.

Lee Iacocca used to be the general manager of Ford Motor Company and later became the general manager of Chrysler Motor Company. As a wise man, his motto is: "Go ahead bravely. Even if you are unlucky, don't despair, even if the sky is falling. " His autobiography was published in 1985, which became the best-selling book in the history of non-fiction books, with a print run of1.5000.

Iacocca has both joy of success and frustration. In his own words, his life is called "bittersweet". 1In August, 946, Iacocca, aged 2/kloc-0, went to Ford Motor Company as a trainee engineer. But he is not interested in interacting with machines and doing technical work. He likes to deal with people and wants to engage in distribution.

Iacocca became the general manager of Ford from an ordinary salesman by his own efforts. However,1July 3, 978, he was fired by the jealous boss Henry Ford. Iacocca, who had been the general manager for 8 years, worked in Ford for 32 years and never worked anywhere else, suddenly lost his job. Yesterday, he was a hero, but today he seems to be a leper. Everyone is far from him. His former friends in the company abandoned him, which was the biggest blow in his life. "Once the hard times come, there is really no choice but to take a deep breath, grit your teeth and go all out." Iacocca said so, and finally did the same. He did not fall. He accepted a new challenge: applying for the position of general manager of Chrysler automobile company, which is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Iacocca, who served as the general manager of the world's second largest automobile company for eight years, with his wisdom, courage and courage, drastically rectified and reformed the enterprise, sought help from the government, argued with members of Congress, and obtained huge loans to bring the enterprise back to life. 1On August 5th, 983, Iacocca handed over a cheque with a face value of more than 8013.48 million USD to the bank representative. At this point, Chrysler paid off all its debts. Five years ago today, Henry Ford fired him.

If Iacocca is not a patient person, afraid to accept new challenges and collapse in the face of a huge blow, then he is no different from an ordinary laid-off worker. It is this spirit of unyielding setbacks and challenging fate that makes Iacocca a hero admired by the world.

A person can't always be smooth sailing. There is still hope for those who never despair in adversity.

Daily summary: Life needs patience.

? /kloc-The interview in winter 0/0 years ago was a little different from usual. The editor-in-chief asked me to interview a cancer patient, Shang Qi, who is a young primary school teacher in a mountain village. Because he loves children in the mountains, he gave up the opportunity to stay in the city after graduating from college, but five years later he got liver cancer. He taught a group of children who grew up in the snow-capped mountains. I want to go there to see the snow. Because I have secretly made up my mind to bury myself in the snow.

When I arrived at Xueshan Primary School, the village chief took me to the village primary school to find him. He was having a class at that time. Looking through the glass window, I was taken aback. He stood on the platform. Although he was thin and his hair was a little messy, he didn't look disgusting at all. He smiled and looked dignified.

After class, he came out amid the cheers of the children. I looked up and he was looking at me with a smile. His eyes are as deep and quiet as the sea in the morning. After the interview, he accompanied me to see the snow-capped mountains. Looking at the endless snow-capped mountains, I was in a trance.

"What's the matter with you?" His thin hand rested on my shoulder with concern, and there was white chalk dust on the cuffs.

"It's nice here. It's good to lie here and turn into snow. " I endured it for a long time, but my tears finally didn't fall, but my deep pity for myself made me heartache. He looked at me thoughtfully.

The day after I came back to finish writing the manuscript, I fell into the ice cave of despair again. Sad married life, tangled quarrels, and huge losses engulfed me. Exhausted, I packed my luggage, put on my favorite red cotton-padded jacket and my diary for many years. Farewell, everything, life is so heavy, I want to climb the top of the snowy mountain and end all the troubles in this world.

I was about to go out when the telephone rang for a long time. I put down my luggage and picked up the receiver with trembling hands. A little girl called me immature and anxious: "Are you Aunt Shihong?" "Yes, who are you?"

"I'm a student of Shangji's teacher. He gave me ten dollars and a letter telling me that I must call you and send the letter immediately. It took me three and a half hours to run to the post office at the foot of the mountain. Ok, I finally got through! "

"Is he all right?"

"He passed away the day before yesterday morning ..." The little girl cried over there. "He told me before he died that there was a deep melancholy on your face. Although he doesn't know why you are depressed, he asked me to tell you that you must live a good life and be happy. He asks you to grant him this last request.

I sat there crying as if I were blind. Shang Qi, a dying man still thinks of me. I met him once. He left, but he saved a man who wanted to die in the snow.

A week later, I received a letter, and the staff member wrote in big letters: "From Ms. Shi Hong". Inside the envelope is a watercolor painting. On the vast snowfield, a red silk scarf flutters on the barren snowfield, and there are two gentle big eyes hidden in the silk scarf. At the bottom of the painting is written: You are the flag in the snow, I am the black eye watching your life, beautiful winter snow needs cold, and a happy life needs patience. Always strong and peaceful. Your friend: Yamazaki.

Tears filled my eyes, my heart, which had forgotten love, suddenly opened, and a stream of heat poured into my cold and empty blood for a long time. I hung this precious painting on the ivory frame in my bedroom. They declared silence and priceless love to me, which inspired my inner love and courage. This gift from a 26-year-old teacher in a mountain village, a young man with deep and determined eyes like a black reef and waves of hearty laughter, taught me how to live enthusiastically in the Leng Xue of fate.

Yes, my friend, a happy life needs patience, and patience and endurance can make the happiness of life calmer, tougher and more in your own hands.
