Story 1 of Struggle to Change Destiny

In 1980, he was born into an ordinary peasant family in Taonan City. Until he was in elementary school, his family was so poor that he couldn't afford a bicycle or even pay tuition. He walked back and forth every day for more than ten miles from home to school. At that time, he had a low self-esteem in the class and had no decent clothes to wear. When it came time to pay tuition, he was too worried to eat. Seeing his mother borrowing money everywhere made him feel very uncomfortable. For this reason, he studied hard and wanted to change his destiny through studying.

There was no condition to buy tutoring materials, nor did he attend any cram school. He spent all his energy on textbooks and a few exercise books issued by the school. His learning goal is very clear, which is to read the book thoroughly, thoroughly understand the content, store all the knowledge in the book in his mind, and then take the exam. In the high school entrance examination in 1996, he got full marks in 5 of the 7 subjects and was admitted to a key high school in the city.

When he was a sophomore in high school, he was selected to participate in the Olympics because of his outstanding performance in science, and won second place in the country. For this reason, the Physics Department of Jilin University issued a notice of exceptional admission to him in advance. In his second year of high school, he had a college admission notice in hand, and his stress-free study made him the envy of his classmates. But good luck did not favor him. This year, there was a severe drought in the spring, and the crops almost failed. In the summer, it rained continuously, and a huge flood broke out, destroying the family's fields and only two houses. At this time, he was very tormented. Seeing that his sister still had to go to school and that his parents were worried about their livelihood every day, he gave up the special admission notice and went to work in a lumber factory in Inner Mongolia without telling his parents. During that time, he worked 12 hours a day and received a monthly salary of 600 yuan. Six months later, he sent 3,000 yuan home through his classmates, saying it was a scholarship from the school. At this time, his parents were still in the dark. They always thought that their son was in the third year of high school.

In March 1999, when his family's situation was better and he had earned enough to pay for his tuition and living expenses, he returned to school to attend his senior year of high school. At this time, there were only three months left before the college entrance examination. He only slept 6 hours a day to make up for the missed courses. In the college entrance examination that year, he was admitted to an undergraduate college in Nanjing with excellent results, and the tuition fee marked on the admission letter was 10,000 yuan. He was worried again.

Fortunately, the school learned of his situation and was able to postpone paying tuition fees and arranged for him to work-study in the school cafeteria. As soon as get out of class was over, other students went to play, while he worked in the cafeteria, earning 8 yuan a day. He calculated that at this rate, he was still far from paying off his tuition. Misfortunes never come singly. When he was a sophomore, his sister wrote to him telling him: someone in the family wanted debt, her parents were sick, and she could no longer go to school. He immediately made the decision to drop out of school, so he wrote back to his sister: Don't worry about money. I have found a part-time job. The monthly income of 2,000 yuan can allow you to go to school and help your parents treat their illnesses. Then he quickly dropped out of school and took a short-time job at a computer company in Nanjing Silicon Valley. Most of the time, he held placards on the streets of Nanjing and worked as a tutor. In tutoring, he taught his students his struggle through words and deeds, and received very good results.

In January 2002, he used the money he earned from working and tutoring to not only pay for his sister’s tuition, but also help his family pay off tens of thousands of yuan in debt. At this time, he came up with the idea of ??going to school. It happened that a high school in his hometown heard about his experience and decided to admit him for free. After five months of hard study, he successfully passed the college entrance examination that year and was admitted to Dalian University of Technology.

In college, he still relied on tutoring to support his tuition and living expenses. It's just that at this time, he made a name for himself as a tutor. The teacher only studied how to teach, while I studied how to learn. ?He started by cultivating students' study habits and formed his own unique tutoring method. In a tutoring business ability competition held in Beijing, he brilliantly explained the most difficult question in the entire competition and successfully challenged the price standard of 4,000 yuan per hour. Gradually, he got the title of "Tutor Emperor".

When he was a sophomore, he formed his own tutoring theory of cultivating students' good study habits. Driven by the new theory, his tutoring business was overwhelmed, so he decided to open a tutoring company. Subsequently, the company grew larger and larger, and he also gained a lot of income.

By his junior year, most college students were still relying on their parents financially. He had already spent 100,000 yuan to build a new house for his parents. His annual income has reached 300,000 yuan, and he is known as the richest non-rich second-generation college student in China. Good things came one after another. When he graduated from college, he was recommended to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D. in structural engineering without taking the exam, and he was also named "Dalian City's Top Ten People of the Year".

His name is Tong Hongjiang, and he has achieved today’s small success with his indomitable courage.

Story of Struggle to Change Destiny Part 3

In the NBA where stars gather. It is not easy to have a seat without sitting on the bench. How difficult is it to become a superstar like Jordan and Kobe?

There is an African-American boy who loves basketball. He has established the ideal of playing in the NBA since he was a child. ideal. A dunk contest on TV, each and every wonderful dunk made him envious and sigh: "If one day, I can dunk like them, what a wonderful thing it would be!" The father next to him encouraged: ?As long as you keep working hard, there will be a day!? He laughed after hearing this, smiling so brightly, so happy!

However, when he was 14 years old, his height was only 1.63 meters. Such a height is undoubtedly a natural flaw for a person who wants to make basketball a career! However, he is not disappointed or discouraged by this, but often warns himself: Who has no shortcomings? Since God wants to arrange it this way, isn't it right? Do you want me to be better in other aspects?

So, after he finished practicing every day, his teammates took a rest, and he read books, CDs, and questioned the coach, and practiced speed and jumping ability. At that time, he strived to be accurate, graceful, powerful and relaxed for every training item, from methods to essentials to effects. For example, a vertical climbing training, he would do it thousands of times each time, never doing it. Don't complain about being tired, but regard training as an art that transcends yourself. Fully enjoy the happiness.

Sometimes, he practices to the point of being almost obsessed: when he goes to the road, he encounters steps. He jumped up step by step. During class, he was doing various ligament-stretching movements. Some classmates cast strange looks at him, and even laughed at him. He turned a blind eye and continued to go his own way, working hard?

Every effort pays off. At the age of 15, his speed and jumping ability improved tremendously, and he could finally dunk. However, he wasn't content with just two-handed dunks. Instead, he challenged the next target, a one-handed dunk after catching a rebound in the air. In order to perfect this difficult movement, during a training session, my body lost balance in the air, fell heavily to the ground, and severely bruised my right ankle. Lying on the hospital bed, he still pondered the reasons for his failure.

With the continuous realization of goals one after another, his future seems bright.

However, when he graduated from high school, no university was willing to offer him a scholarship to play basketball because he was too short. This will mean. The NBA's draft base, the NCAA (American College Basketball League), rejected him.

For this reason, he fell deeply into pain and melancholy. At this time, the University of Washington took a fancy to his ability to play rugby and was willing to provide him with a scholarship to play rugby. On the day he received the invitation, his mood was not excitement and joy, but very contradictory: if he accepted the invitation, he would have to put down his focus on basketball for many years; if he did not accept the invitation, he would lose a good scholarship.

For a while. He was between a rock and a hard place. The father comforted him and said: "Son, Dad knows that you are very distressed about this matter." However, it is inevitable that there will be times when you are not satisfied with anything you do. Learn temporary flexibility. It doesn't mean giving up completely. As long as you don't change your original intention. You will surely get the results you hope for. ?He was silent.

Even though he was unwilling. Finally, I came to the University of Washington happily. Although he had to spend most of his time on the football field, whenever he had time, he would practice basketball. No matter how hard it is, just pick up the basketball. Every cell in his body is full of joy and happiness! It is this irreplaceable sense of happiness that makes him persistent in basketball.

Opportunities always favor those who are persistent. By his junior year, his performance on the basketball court attracted the attention of the head coach of the basketball team. Finished practicing basketball in one go. When he was about to leave, the head coach came over and asked him: "Young man, would you like to play basketball instead?" He was so happy that he kept saying: "Yes! This is great!"

Here we go. In 2005, on the eve of his college graduation, because of his outstanding performance, the University of Washington basketball team won the Pacific Division championship in one fell swoop. As a result, he caught the attention of NBA scouts. The scouts commented that his speed and jumping ability are among the best. He has excellent organizational skills. Although he is only 1.75 meters tall, he can dunk easily. In the same year, he was selected by the New York Knicks in the NBA summer draft. Thus realizing his coveted ideal and becoming the shortest point guard currently active in the NBA.

Unexpectedly, in an NBA full of giants, his "too short" is sometimes an advantage. When he completed the same dunk, he won more applause and cheers from fans than anyone else. He won the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest in the 2006, 2009, and 2010 seasons. The only "Triple Crown" so far. Now playing for the Celtics, Nate Robinson, nicknamed "Little Potato".

? Struggle changes destiny, dreams make us different. ?A wonderful life makes your future full of infinite possibilities; but talent is not as important as you think.

As long as you put in real hard work and sweat, you will definitely achieve heavy success!
