Eight times the hard work
American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice

Her struggle history is quite legendary. In just twenty years

she changed from a discriminated black girl to a famous diplomat

and miraculously completed the transformation from an ugly duckling to a white swan. Someone asked her the secret of success

and she simply said

"Because I worked eight times as hard."

When Rice was young,

racial discrimination in the United States was still very serious. Especially in Birmingham, where she lives,

blacks are in a low position

and are bullied by whites everywhere. When Rice was 1 years old, her family visited the capital

but could not visit the White House because she was black

. Little Rice felt humiliated

and stared at the White House for a long time

and then turned around and told her father slowly, "One day

I will be the owner of that house!" Rice's parents appreciate her ambition

and often instill in her the idea that the best way to improve the situation of black people is to achieve extraordinary achievements. If you go forward with double energy

, you may catch up with half of the white people; If you are willing to pay four times the hard work

, you can keep pace with the white people; If you are willing to work eight times harder

, you will definitely get ahead of the white people.

In order to "get ahead of the white people"

she has been studying hard

accumulating knowledge

growing her talents with "eight times harder" than the white people for decades. Besides her mother tongue, she is also proficient in Russian, French and Spanish. She was admitted to the University of Denver and got a doctorate. At the age of 26, she was the youngest professor at Stanford University < P > and later became the youngest provost in the history of Stanford University. She also won the first prize in the American Youth Piano Competition. In addition,

she has carefully studied tennis, figure skating, ballet and etiquette.

What white people can do, she will do

What white people can't do. Heaven rewards diligence

She finally stands out

and flies into the sky.

No pains, no gains

A person who is eager for success but always misses it doesn't need to complain

Why don't you ask yourself: Have you worked eight times as hard?
