Failure is the mother of success, and failure is the mother of success

He was denied 1,849 times.

In the United States, there is a poor young man, even when all the money on his body is not enough to buy a decent suit, he still wholeheartedly sticks to his dream, he wants to be an actor, make movies, and be a star.

At the time, there were 500 studios in Hollywood, and he knew all too well. According to the route he carefully drew and the order of the list, he went to visit them one by one with a script tailored for himself. But after the first time, none of the 500 studios were willing to hire him.

In the face of 100% rejection, the young man did not lose heart, and after coming out of the last rejected film company, he started again from the first one and continued his second round of visits and self-referrals.

In the second round of visits, 500 families rejected him.

The results of the third round of visits are still the same as those of the second round. The young man gritted his teeth and began his fourth round of visits, and when he finished visiting the 349th studio, the owner of the 350th film company promised to let him leave the script to read first.

A few days later, the young man was notified and asked to come and discuss in detail. It was during this negotiation that the company decided to invest in the film and asked the young man to be the lead actor in the script it had written. The movie is called "Rocky".

The young man's name was Stallone. Now turning the page of film history, this movie called "Rocky" and this superstar who will become popular all over the world are on the list.

In the face of a total of 1,849 encounters, Stallone did not back down, continued to persevere, and finally succeeded in the 1850th time. His example reaffirms the philosophy that "failure is the mother of success".

Stoop to conquer. In 496 B.C., King Wu sent troops to attack the Yue Kingdom, but was defeated by the Yue Kingdom, and He Lu was also seriously wounded and died. Two years later, Fu Cha, the son of Helu, led his troops to defeat the Yue Kingdom, and the Yue King Gou Jian was escorted to the Wu Kingdom as a slave, and Gou Jian endured humiliation and served the King of Wu for three years, and the Fu Cha discouraged him and sent him back to the Yue Kingdom.

In fact, Gou Jian did not give up his heart of revenge, he was obedient to King Wu on the surface, but secretly trained elite soldiers, strengthened the government and waited for the opportunity to counterattack Wu. Hardship can temper the will, but comfort will wear out the will. Gou Jian was afraid that he would covet the comfort in front of him and lose his will to take revenge, so he arranged a difficult living environment for himself.

He slept at night without a mattress, but laid out some firewood and grass (called wages in ancient times), and hung a bitter gall in the house, which he would taste from time to time, in order not to forget the shame of the past.

In order to encourage the people, Gou Jian and the queen participated in the labor with the people, and under the concerted efforts of the Yue people, he made the Yue Kingdom strong, and finally found the opportunity to destroy the Wu State.

Failure is the mother of success, such as Edison's never give up, Yue Wang Goujian's courage to lie on the salary, Colonel Sandoz's perseverance, and Lincoln's hard work, all of them have achieved success through their own efforts.

Edison's storyWhen Edison invented the battery, he failed 25,000 times, but the countless failures did not make him give up. During his lifetime, Edison obtained a total of 1,093 invention patents, and it is his inventions that make our lives more convenient.

The story of lying down and tasting gutsIn 496 B.C., King Lu of Wu failed to attack the Yue Kingdom and died of his wounds, and two years later his son Fucha attacked the Yue Kingdom and captured Gou Jian. After serving King Wu in Wu for three years, Gou Jian finally found an opportunity to return to Yue. After returning to Yue, he ostensibly obeyed Wu Wang Qingmeng, but in fact secretly trained elite soldiers.

In order to temper his will, he hung a bitter gall in his room, and tasted the bitter gall from time to time, so that he would not forget the shame of the past. In the end, the Yue Kingdom became stronger and stronger, found the opportunity, and finally eliminated the Wu State.
