Inspiring biographical stories of Chinese and foreign celebrities: turn the chalk sideways and write

"Stock God" Warren Buffett was not born a stock god. For a long time, he was even a very failure. Businessman!

In the early 1950s, after graduating from Columbia Business School, Buffett used the $5,000 his father gave him to set up a small company. Unfortunately, in the following years, he ran a small company. The company was extremely bleak, and the stock investment was also in a mess.

Once, Buffett thought he had used the knowledge he had learned very correctly, but he was still defeated by the ruthless market, and a painful blow struck him again! He He came to his teacher in despair, poured out a lot of bitterness to the teacher and said in frustration: "I have used all my knowledge and experience, but why can't I succeed?"

He The teacher’s name is Benjamin Graham, a very great economics professor.

After listening to Buffett's words, he didn't say anything. He just took Buffett to the classroom where he had studied. Then he took out the chalk and drew three dots on the blackboard. Then he handed the chalk to Buffett and said: "Please use a straight line." Connect these 3 points!”

This is simply too easy! Buffett couldn’t figure out what this had to do with his failure. He took the chalk with some confusion and then drew it easily. A straight line connecting the three small dots is drawn. Buffett handed the chalk to the teacher and said: "I have connected these three points!"

Graham nodded, said nothing, took the chalk and continued to draw small lines on the blackboard. Dots, this time he drew 3 rows, 3 dots horizontally and 9 small dots vertically, arranged in a "field" shape, with a distance of 8 centimeters horizontally and vertically. Graham handed the chalk to Buffett again and said: "Use the chalk to draw a straight line again and connect these 9 small dots!"

This time. Buffett no longer thinks that it is a simple thing, because whether it is horizontal drawing, vertical drawing or diagonal drawing, a straight line can only connect up to 3 small points! He racked his brains and used all the geometry Knowledge, still can't connect those 3 rows of 9 small dots with a straight line. He said helplessly to Graham: "Teacher, this is an impossible task!"

The teacher took the chalk, then held the chalk as usual, pointed the chalk head towards the blackboard and asked : "Are you sure you can't use this chalk to draw a straight line enough to connect these 9 small points?"

Buffett thought about it again, and finally nodded with certainty and replied: "Absolutely not!"

After hearing what he said, Graham pressed the chalk horizontally on the blackboard, and then drew on it with a "swish" sound. Suddenly, a straight line 8 centimeters wide appeared on the blackboard, and this A straight line just "hides" all the 9 small dots in it.

“Can you still say this is impossible?” Graham then said meaningfully, “You think there is only one way to hold chalk, but in fact, it can also be held sideways. Writing, and these, no teacher or book has taught you! The same goes for all your knowledge and experience. You cannot use inherent knowledge to make rigid judgments, so you cannot only follow the theory to take every step in reality. You must be different and find your own way. Only in this way can you achieve success!"

Buffett was stunned. He never expected that drawing a straight line that could connect these 9 small points would only make him successful. He needs to turn the chalk sideways! The teacher's words "different and unique" were deeply engraved in his heart.

Since then, Buffett has created some ideas in company management and stock investment, such as "the fewer people there are, the higher the possibility of catching a big fish", "get excited when others are afraid, and be excited when others are afraid." He is known as the "Prophet of Omaha" due to his unique theories such as "Be cautious when you are excited" and has repeatedly succeeded. Since 2008, Buffett's net worth of more than US$70 billion has been far away from the top of the list in the US "Forbes" rankings. Far surpassing Carlos Slim Helu and Bill Gates, firmly ranking at the top of the world's richest list!

In his "Famous Sayings", Buffett used this sentence to describe his "stock god" "Life" made an exquisite summary and analysis: "The ability to innovate is more valuable than rich knowledge. Sometimes just by writing a piece of chalk sideways, you can easily solve problems that even mathematicians around the world cannot solve!"

Inspiring biographical stories of Chinese and foreign celebrities: Don’t be afraid of losing your life, just be afraid of losing your grace

At a European comics exhibition, there was a comic work that was incompatible with other works and seemed to be full of anger towards life. , it’s like copying hundreds of doctors’ prescriptions and pouring acid on them.

As everyone knows, Johnny was already bedridden with a terminal illness at this time.

Johnny Hickoryton was born in 1967 in a small town near London, England. Like most children, he had a loving home. As a child he fell in love with painting. Cartoonist Ron Smith, a friend of his father's, often visited his home and brought some of his own paintings. Once he said to Johnny: "Stop being idle and practice painting wholeheartedly! You have the talent for this." Talent, you will succeed, because this is your destiny." Unexpectedly, this sentence came true, and painting became Johnny's spiritual support for the rest of his life.

At the age of 29, Johnny occasionally felt a little numbness in his hands and feet. At first, he didn't pay much attention, thinking it was caused by overexertion. Unexpectedly, it became more and more serious and he fell down inexplicably while walking. Accompanied by his family, he went to a large hospital for a check-up. Unexpectedly, after this check-up, the doctor sentenced him to death. It turns out that he has a rare form of multiple sclerosis. The cause of this disease is the immune system. A normal person's immune system only attacks bacteria or viruses that invade the body, but Johnny's immune system attacks the bacteria in his brain. of nerve cells. As the nerves are gradually destroyed, his nerves will no longer be able to control the entire body, eventually turning him into a vegetative state, and his entire body will fail and die.

To keep his heart full of energy, Johnny had to take some weird-tasting medicine, some heart-strengthening medicine given to sheep or ponies. He tried to take a small cup of it every day. Imagine your heart is as strong as a tiger's. At this time, he could no longer walk and could only use a wheelchair to exercise outdoors every day. He always finds something to do for himself every day, such as taking care of a beggar, going downstairs to give him a blanket, and then calling the police the next day, saying that he stole it. More often than not, he can only express his inner passion for life through painting.

He is full of hope and always does something creatively and imaginatively, expressing what he thinks of through his paintbrush. He installed cameras in his bedroom, living room, kitchen and even toilet so that more people could witness how he survived. He once told the camera: "I will never kneel down in front of the disease. Even if I can't move my body, when I lie down, I still have to look around with my eyes. I must live. I have done a lot." With sufficient preparation, even if I put a big cup in front of me and suck liquid food like a baby, I will still give a decisive blow to the disease and retain my dignity as a human being."

He painted 12 hours a day. , sometimes I wake up with a pen in my hand. After several years of exploration and adjustment, he expressed the long-standing anger against the disease in his works like a volcanic eruption, gradually forming a unique comic narrative language and visual expression style. A large number of humor comics, serial comics and comic illustrations made him stand out and become famous, and finally established himself as a professional cartoonist in the highly competitive European and American cartoon world.

Five years later, Johnny lost his conditioned reflexes below the knees, his legs were as soft as noodles, and his hands began to shake. Soon his hands would be unable to pick up the paintbrush, but he could not have this Thoughts, he always finds something to do for himself and suppresses the thoughts. He was afraid that his behavior would have a negative impact on the people around him, so he put on sneakers on his unconscious feet, took a lot of analgesics every day, and devoted himself to some charity activities without hesitation.

In 2007, six years after Johnny's illness was diagnosed, he was known as Johnny Dead Branch. After he got up in the morning, he had to swallow a lot of painkillers before he could go to the toilet. His whole body hurt like it was falling apart. This was difficult for some people to accept, but he still persisted in creating every day and left a large number of masterpieces to be handed down. Each of his paintings is priceless. His deeds have been widely circulated in the UK, and many TV stations have broadcast videos of his life. In the videos, he is always in high spirits and smiling, and there is no trace of him being a terminally ill person. What is even more unforgettable is what he often said: "I sincerely wish everyone in the world health and happiness! I want to live a decent life, not afraid of losing my life, just afraid of losing my grace."

The sky has unpredictable events, and people have misfortunes and blessings. Facing setbacks and sufferings, accepting them bravely and living decently is the best interpretation of the meaning of life.
