Jean Chrétien,
Canada’s first leader to serve two consecutive terms and span the century. He was ugly and stuttered when he was a child. He suffered from local anesthesia on the left side of his face due to illness in his childhood. The corners of his mouth are crooked, he is deaf in one ear, and his mouth always tilts to one side when speaking. Although he has so many shortcomings, he not only does not have low self-esteem, but is also confident and diligent, becoming a well-educated man, and can make up for his shortcomings by using humorous language in his speeches. Despite his shortcomings, he lost no time in raising his voice to achieve the desired effect. From then on, he became a very insightful person. In October 1993, he ran for the Prime Minister of Canada. The Conservative Party used his missing face to personally attack him. He took it calmly and faced his opponent's insults with confidence. He won the support of the majority of voters and was elected as the Prime Minister of Canada.

Napoleon seized the opportunity
Napoleon Bonaparte, French 18th-century politician, military strategist, French First Empire and Hundred Days Dynasty emperor. But he turned out to be just a small lieutenant-level artillery officer. In 1793, he was reported to the front to participate in the attack on Toulon. Just when the frontline commander of the Revolutionary Army faced difficulties with Toulon's solid defense, Napoleon immediately seized this opportunity and directly proposed a new combat plan to Commissioner Salicetti. When the members of the special report had no good ideas, they saw that Napoleon's plan was very innovative, so they immediately appointed Napoleon as the deputy commander of the siege artillery and promoted him to major. Napoleon seized this opportunity, planned carefully on the front line, fought bravely, fully demonstrated his courage and intelligence, and finally captured Toulon. As a result, he was honored with military exploits and was promoted to major general and brigade commander. He finally became famous in one fell swoop, which laid the foundation for him to dominate the world and reach the pinnacle of power.
In 1992, the 25th Olympic Games was held in Barcelona, ??Spain. The owner of an electrical appliance store in the city declared to Barcelona residents before the game: "If the Spanish athletes win more than 10 gold medals in this Olympics, customers will have to wait for 10 days from June 3 to July 24.
, you can get a full refund if you buy electrical appliances in this store.” This news caused a sensation in Barcelona. People rushed there to buy appliances, and the store's sales surged. In particular, it was only July 4th, and Spanish athletes had already won 10 gold medals and 1 silver medal. As a result, people are rushing to buy electrical appliances even harder than before. It is estimated that refunds from electronics stores will reach $1 million. It seems that bankruptcy is inevitable! But the boss said calmly: "Refunds will be cashed starting in September." Why is this? Can he retreat? "People inevitably have doubts in their minds. It turns out that the boss has already made arrangements. Before publishing the advertisement, he first went to the insurance company to buy a special insurance. The insurance company believed that it was impossible to win more than 10 gold medals, so they accepted the insurance. This is a guarantee of harvest in droughts and floods. Insurance that only makes money but does not compensate. If the total number of gold medals won by the Spanish athletes does not exceed 10, then the electrical appliance store will obviously make a fortune, and the insurance company will not have to compensate. On the other hand, if the total number of gold medals exceeds 10, then the electrical appliance store will have to refund the money. The payment for the goods will be fully compensated by the insurance company and has nothing to do with the electrical appliance store. Then the electrical appliance store will undoubtedly make a bigger fortune. The most capable people are good at seizing opportunities and using them.

At first, he deliberately made the wire perpendicular to the magnetic needle, but it didn't work. What happened? However, when he accidentally laid the wire flat and parallel to the magnetic needle, he was surprised to find that the magnetic needle deflected in the opposite direction. In this way, by pure chance, Orbit discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism, and established the relationship between electricity and magnetism.
