Recently in the library, I came across a biography of Lincoln written by Dale Carnegie. With a heart of admiration, I am immersed in pen and ink. ...
People used to think that great men must be extraordinary. When I was reading this biography of Lincoln, I found that I was wrong. To be a great man, he must first become an ordinary man. He has love and hate; There are happiness and sadness; There are successes and failures; Constantly helping others, but also need the care of others and so on. Great men become great men because of specific social conditions and specific events. Of course, personal efforts are equally important. It is said that times make heroes.
Lincoln had a miserable childhood. In his own words, his childhood was a "chronicle of poverty". Abel's father, Tom Lincoln Sr. and his mother are illiterate. Lincoln persisted in studying under extremely difficult conditions. Lincoln likes reading aloud and telling stories. This played an important role in his later political career speech.
Lincoln's marriage was tragic. When he was engaged to Mary Todd for the first time, Lincoln chose to avoid marriage because he couldn't stand the painful reality. But later Ken married Mary Todd for his fame and prestige. But his marriage is not happy. Mary Todd, like a dissatisfied housewife, made Lincoln feel the pressure. However, before Lincoln got married, Lincoln pursued several girls. If it weren't for the death of his first girlfriend, I believe Lincoln's marriage must be happy.
Lincoln had a tortuous political path. Many failures in the election depressed him. I can't put on his "old stag" again and again and run around the country court and live a hard life as a lawyer. However, a few years later, the success of the slavery discussion took Lincoln to another height in his life. Finally, he became the first 16 president of the United States. Lincoln maintained the unity of the federal government and abolished slavery. Although he had little education, his keen insight and profound humanitarian consciousness made him one of the greatest presidents in American history.
For us who live in the present, for us ordinary people. Personally, I think:
First, if you have an idea in your mind, try to realize it. In another speech, Ma Yun once said, "Many of us will have a lot of ideas when we go back at night. But after breakfast the next day, when I went to work, I walked on the old road he was familiar with. " Give yourself a dream, give yourself a promise, and give yourself a persistence. "
Second, if you find the ideal object in your mind, then speak out your love boldly. Because happiness comes and goes in a hurry. Happiness needs to be fought for, not waited for.
Third, as the proverb goes, "Opportunities always favor those who are prepared." Before the opportunity comes, the only thing we can do is to make ourselves more effective, because struggle for existence has decided that we must keep fighting. When the opportunity comes, don't hesitate to seize it.
Feel it once in a while and share it with everyone.
After reading the biography of Lincoln, when I closed this great biography of Lincoln and recalled the contents of the book again, I deeply realized the greatness of Lincoln. "Lincoln Biography" is a profound experience of Lincoln's greatness when Du recalled the contents of the book. Lincoln declared war on southerners in order to liberate slaves from foreign countries. In the end, he not only defeated the blacks, but also successfully liberated them. Just when I wanted to put the book back in the bookcase, the copyright page suddenly "brushed!" It opened with a bang, and the strange reaction of the book froze me. Before I could react, it was swept away by a huge color vortex.
I fell heavily on a plain, and there was hardly anyone on this vast grassland. I'm waiting under a dense tree, waiting to be found before I can leave here. Time is getting longer and longer, and I am getting more and more anxious. Just as I was about to give up hope, several post cars came from a distance. I was so excited that I waved and they saw me. The groom got out of the car and asked me in a low English tone. I'm just saying I want to be taken away. He nodded gravely and motioned me to get on the bus. After about half an hour's drive, the coach arrived at a military camp. The groom walked into a tent and came out with a general covered in badges. After the general briefly introduced himself, he asked me to help the army on the battlefield in the future. I nodded stiffly and walked into the camp with him.
In the dark tent, a group of exhausted soldiers can be seen around a map of the United States. At this time, I remembered that I had been wonderfully involved in the era of books. Is this the civil war era? If it is true, then I am not wearing blue in the northern military camp? So I decided to tell them what I read in the book, hoping it would be good advice. I will provide some information in the book, because I don't want to change history, so I am completely imitating the contents of the book. I tried to get the general to lead the army to the battle position between the north and the south, because I already knew who would win, and the general was easily persuaded by me. Just as everyone was preparing for the war, I seemed to have a disgusting feeling, as if I had been swept away by the vortex brought to the future.
I sat down in the study and looked at this wonderful biography scattered on the floor. I put it back in the bookcase carefully. This time and space trip has made me more interested in American history, which I will never forget.
Reflections on Lincoln's Biography 3 Among the books I have read, Lincoln's biography is not very famous, but it is the one that impressed me the most. This is not only because of Lincoln's great fame, but also because of Lincoln's bumpy experience and his spirit of never giving up, which deeply touched me. My previous impression of Lincoln was that he initiated the black liberation movement and was the president of the United States. However, when I finished reading the biography of Lincoln, I found that Lincoln's life was so tortuous and bizarre, and I found that Lincoln was just a mortal like us.
The Biography of Lincoln describes Lincoln's life full of faint sadness. His family was poor, and he didn't go to school for a few days, but he was very studious and walked several miles to borrow books. With this studious spirit, he learned a lot in his long migration life and became a lawyer. But just when he was about to become a lawyer, his lover Ann passed away, which made him in a trance and became an unhealed wound in his life. Later, Lincoln married his wife Mary Todd, and they were not happy at all. After unremitting efforts, Lincoln became the president of the United States and set off a civil war. But at the beginning of the war, the situation in the north was not optimistic, and no good general could lead his soldiers to win several battles. This is his saddest moment. However, Lincoln gritted his teeth and persisted until General Grant arrived. Finally, when the slaves were liberated, he seemed to have completed his mission and was assassinated by Booth in a theater in Washington.
Lincoln had a rough life, but this did not affect his ambition. His famous saying highly summed up his life: "I walk slowly, but I never walk backwards." I also want to take this famous saying of Lincoln as my motto and work hard on the road of life.
During the winter vacation, my uncle gave me a book about Lincoln's autobiography, mainly about Lincoln's life story. Speaking of Lincoln, I'm afraid no one familiar with world history will feel strange. He was the first civilian president in American history. Lincoln moved twice when he was a child and hardly went to school. He studied the Bible since he was a child, and his stepmother liked him very much after his mother died. He didn't get the chance to go to school until he was 1 1, but he went to school for less than a year.
Being able to survive, the first job he found at first was to help others cross the river. But it didn't take long for the defendant to go to court because he was operating without a license. But in court, he persuaded the judge and other audience with his intelligence and wisdom to let himself be acquitted. Seeing that Lincoln was so familiar with the law at such a young age, the judge showed his love for talents and gave him some books about the law at home. Lincoln was even asked to watch his trial in the audience every Tuesday, but this experience undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for Lincoln's future success. Lincoln is arguably one of the greatest presidents in American history. He is diligent and won't flinch in the face of difficulties. Compared with other presidents in American history, Lincoln was born in an extremely harsh environment. But under such circumstances, he was successfully elected president of the United States at the age of 52.
He worked hard to safeguard national unity all his life. During the American Civil War, he led the American people in the north to defeat the independent parents in the south and abolished black slavery. But five months after he was re-elected as the second president of the United States, he was assassinated by a killer in the theater. Until now, Lincoln's contribution to the United States remains in the hearts of many people.
After reading Lincoln's biography, the country roads are tortuous. Why isn't Lincoln's life like this? He ran for the state legislature many times, but all failed. He didn't lose heart. Instead, he made unremitting efforts to become a state senator and eventually the president of the United States of America, and began an important step in liberating slaves.
Abraham. Lincoln is an honest man. Someone once said that his written evidence is money, and there can be no mistakes. It was such an honest man who became the president of the United States. As the saying goes, "People can't judge by their appearances, but the sea can't be measured." But when he did, he accelerated the development of American economy. The most important thing is that he announced the liberation of black slaves and stopped slavery.
He also advocated equality for all, and we should also advocate this idea now. You can't say a series of praises to him for his good character and high social status just because he is rich; Nor can we say a series of derogatory terms such as bad conduct and low social status just because a person is poor. This kind of person is like a green bristlegrass, who bends down and grovels at the sight of the boss; You show off your subordinates as soon as you see them. What a snob!
What we should learn most is Lincoln's perseverance and perseverance. Just like learning things in life, you have no talent, but you must never give up like this, but spend more time studying and practicing than others. In this way, progress will be rapid. Edison said, "Success is equal to 99% sweat and 1% talent." Some people say that there is no time, so Mr. Lu Xun tells you that "time is like water in a sponge." As long as you are willing to squeeze, there is always something. "
Let's take Lincoln as an example, sail the boat of learning, raise the diligent sail, shake the happy sculls, advance in the ocean of knowledge and pursue the island of wisdom! !
Reflections on Lincoln's Biography 6 This semester we have a text "The Shoemaker's Son", which made me see Lincoln for the first time. His tolerant and witty spirit is admirable. During the winter vacation, I read The Biography of Lincoln, which is a vivid and touching book about Lincoln's political career from poor childhood to ups and downs when he grew up, and then to his death.
According to this book, Lincoln went to school for less than a year, but he became one of the greatest presidents in America. Why? It turns out that he has long formed the habit of studying, loves reading and hardly sees books. Despite his poor family, he racked his brains to find a way to borrow books, and even walked many miles to borrow books.
He is not only studious, but also good at thinking. Whenever he has a question, he will ask what to do next. Once after reading the Kentucky teacher, he asked: Who has the most right to complain? Indians or blacks? Then he talked a lot in the cornfield. It is because of these that he has become so witty.
Lincoln worked as a lumberjack when he was a child, and carved an "A" on the cut wood, indicating that he cut it himself. Once, when he was transporting wood, he found that his wood was engraved with an "H". When he knew who did it, he was not angry with that person, but forgave him and became good friends with that person. This shows Lincoln's tolerance.
If everyone is as diligent, considerate and tolerant as Lincoln, there will be many more successful people.
Reflections on Lincoln's Biography 7 When I don't read Lincoln's biography, my impression of Lincoln is based on history books. He led the victory of the American Civil War and safeguarded the unity of the United States. Promulgated the Emancipation Proclamation and the Homestead Law, and liberated the slaves. There is no doubt about his greatness, but there is no other feeling except his greatness. But the book Lincoln Biography opens a picture of Lincoln's legendary life in front of my eyes.
Born in poverty
/kloc-in the winter of 0/809, Lincoln was born in a very poor family. His parents are poor and humble. His father is a laborer and a hunter, and his mother is an illiterate illegitimate daughter. They live in a thatched cottage with air leakage on all sides. In the cold winter, little Lincoln and his mother can only curl up under leaves and bearskin like dogs.
To make matters worse, Lincoln's mother died of illness in 18 18, and no hostess's house was full of fleas and bedbugs.
However, the hardships of life did not kill Lincoln's talent. He aroused a strong interest in learning in the difficult and piecemeal study. Lincoln borrowed books by helping others to work and spelling one by one on the blackboard, and finally became a lawyer.
Poverty in life is not a sharp weapon to kill people's will, but it can make people more frustrated and braver. Just like the wind in Gaza, it is slightly painful, but it can create magnificent scenery and straight and sharp cliffs. It can turn people into a wonderful and energetic hero.
Be good at setbacks
22 years old, career failure; 23 years old, failed to run for state legislature; At the age of 24, the business failed again; At the age of 25, he was elected to the state legislature; At the age of 26, my lover died; 27 years old, nervous breakdown; At the age of 28, he failed to run for the state speaker; 3 1 year-old, failed to campaign for the alliance; 34 years old, failed to run for Congress; At the age of 37, he was elected as a member of parliament; At the age of 39, the re-election of members of Congress failed; 46 years old, failed to run for the Senate; 47 years old, failed to run for vice president; At the age of 49, he failed to run for the Senate again; 5 1 year-old, elected president of the United States.
This is Lincoln, a man who faced numerous setbacks and experienced several failures in his life. But he stood up from failure again and again, became stronger and more talented, and finally became a great president in American history!
Life is ordinary, but it contains countless setbacks and crises, which makes people fall into a quagmire. But only this kind of life can breed precious greatness. As the saying goes, "failure is the mother of success", and life is the source of strength for increasing talents.
Finally, the gun went off.
With the gunshot of 1865 Ford Theater, Lincoln's life as a great president came to an end. He died at the hands of booth sent by the confederacy. After Lincoln's death, the whole country fell into the abyss of sadness.
But as time goes by, everything becomes dull …
"The blade comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom is bitter and cold." Difficulties and hardships in life can sharpen great men, but life can also smooth out all the thrilling. But the actions and lives of great men are recorded by time and shine in the long river of history.
This is life, this is Lincoln's legendary life, Lincoln, I respect you!
