Socrates: I won't give up my faith
Socrates is a famous philosopher and thinker in ancient Greece. He was the earliest thinker in the history of human thought who was condemned for his thoughts and was willing to be put to death for sticking to his own thoughts.
Socrates believes that the purpose of philosophy is not to know nature, but to "know yourself". "An unexamined life is not worth living" and "a good life must be pursued far more than life", which Socrates said when defending himself in court. At that time, the slave owners and rulers sentenced him to death for spreading different opinions, framing young people and opposing democracy. Before his death, Socrates calmly said to the judge: "As a philosopher, I insist on the moral integrity of philosophers. If you make a condition that I can be released and let me live as long as I don't engage in philosophical research in the future, then my answer is: I will not give up my faith as long as I live." So when the court exonerated him on the condition of "abandoning philosophy", he firmly refused.
Use guidance:
Only with firm faith can we defend the right to uphold the truth to the death. The value of ideas, through the test of time and history, can show long-term influence.

She said rudely to the shop assistant, "If my daughter can't go into this fitting room today, I'd rather not buy clothes here." In order to keep the business, the salesgirl had to take them to the fitting room, and she stood at the door watching for fear that someone would see her. The girl was deeply touched by this scene.
once again, the girl was reprimanded by the white clerk for touching the hat in the shop. This time, the mother stepped forward and said, "Please don't talk to my daughter like that." Then, she said to her daughter, "Conti, touch every hat in this shop now." The girl touched every hat in this shop according to her mother's instructions, and the salesgirl could only stand by and stare.
In response to these discriminations and injustices, the mother said to her daughter, "Remember, son, all this will change. This injustice is not your fault, your skin color and your family are an inseparable part of you. To change your low social status, you must do better than others. "
Later, this black girl, who was born in the apartheid area of Birmingham, Alabama, was crowned as "the most powerful woman in the world" by Forbes magazine. She is former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Rice recalled: "My mother told me that your goal in life is not to buy hamburgers from" white-only "stores, but that you can achieve anything if you want and work hard."
Application guidance:
To be a man, you should have a belief of being neither supercilious nor supercilious. The power of faith lies in that even in adversity, it can help you to set sail forward; The charm of faith is that even if you encounter setbacks, you can summon up the courage to live; The greatness of faith lies in that even if you encounter misfortune, you can always maintain a lofty mind. Faith is the first flame to make life not be spent in mediocrity and let life radiate dazzling brilliance. The belief of being humble and brave is the wealth of Rice's life.
