Celebrity Story of Dreaming 1: Prague
Prague, a British physicist, was born in a poor family when he was a child. Through unremitting pursuit and tenacious efforts, he finally made great achievements. And the poor years he experienced became the driving force that inspired him to move on in the future.
When he was studying at school, his parents could not buy him nice clothes and comfortable shoes because of the poor economic conditions at home. He is often in rags, dragging a pair of worn leather shoes that don't match his feet. But young Prague never felt inferior because of poverty, and he never complained that his family could not provide him with superior living conditions. Those oversized shoes look ridiculous on his feet, but he doesn't feel inferior. On the contrary, he cherishes these shoes very much, because they can bring him unlimited motivation.
It turns out that this pair of shoes was given to him by his father. The family is poor, so we can't buy him a pair of comfortable and strong shoes. Even these old leather shoes are his father's. Although the father was also full of guilt, he still gave his son ardent hope, unparalleled encouragement and strong emotional support. His father wrote in his letter ... I'm sorry, son. I hope in a year or two, my shoes won't be too big on your feet. "... I hope that once you achieve something, I will be proud of it, because my son works hard in my broken shoes. ..... "This letter with profound meaning and full of expectation has always been like an invisible force, pushing Prague to walk on the rugged scientific mountain road and step on thorns.
Dream-chasing celebrity story 2: Pierre Cardin
He was born in a peasant family in Italy. Every day, his father ventured to ride a horse to climb the high snow-capped mountains, picked off large pieces of ice and sold them to rich people in the city to earn a few pennies to support his family. When he was in primary school, even in middle school, he was often maliciously ridiculed as a "loser" by his classmates. These slanderous words seriously hurt a teenager's heart and made him realize the hardships and humiliation brought by poverty from an early age.
I took part in the school drama performance in the late middle school, and I became interested in the stage from then on. He dreams of becoming an excellent dancer in the future and showing his dance on the stage. Therefore, at the age of 16, he resolutely made a bold decision-dropping out of school and running to Paris alone, hoping that he could spin a wonderful life on tiptoe in this fashion stage.
However, this arrogant city didn't even bother to look at the poor boy, not to mention the high tuition fees for learning dance, and even meeting the basic needs of life became a problem. He has no other specialties, only a little tailoring skills he learned from his parents. With this skill, he got a job in a tailor's shop, where he worked for more than ten hours every day.
After doing this for several months, his mood became more and more depressed and decadent. He doesn't know how long he will work in this tailor's shop and when he will be on the stage of his dreams. He was frustrated that his ideal could not be realized. He felt that it was better to end his life earlier than to live in such pain.
On the night when he was about to commit suicide, he suddenly remembered Boudrie, who had been admired since childhood and had the reputation of "the father of ballet music". He decided to write a letter to Budri, telling the confusion that his dream was blocked by reality and could not be realized. At the end of the letter, he wrote that if Boudrie refused to accept him as a student, he would have to devote himself to art and commit suicide by jumping into the river. Soon, he received a reply from Boudrie. Who knows, Boudrie didn't mention that he was a student, but told his own life experience. Boudrie said that when he was a child, he wanted to be a scientist, a pilot and a priest. However, because his poor parents can't send him to school, he has to live a life of singing with street performers ... Finally, he said that there is always a certain distance between reality and dreams. In dreams and real life, people must first choose to live. A person who doesn't even cherish his own life is not worthy to talk about art. ...
Boudrie's answer made him suddenly realize. Later, he studied sewing skills hard and applied for a job in a fashion shop called Pakan. With diligence and intelligence, his fashion design technology has made rapid progress. In order to further broaden his horizons, he went to the "new look" boutique opened by the famous fashion designer Dior. Here, he has increased his knowledge, accumulated design experience and experience in leading fashion trends, and his design level has also been improved.

Filipa's curiosity: the third story of a dream-chasing celebrity
Filipazzi lived in a peasant family in the former Yugoslavia when he was a child. Because of poverty, Filipa Qi, who loves reading, had to drop out of school early to help his parents with farm work. In spite of this, he still didn't give up studying.
/Kloc-When he was 0/8 years old, Filipazzi signed up for a self-study class at Belgrade Law School. This self-study class doesn't need to take classes at school, just take exams. Filipazzi started his work-study program. Every time he takes an exam, he has to take an eight-hour train to take the exam, and then go back to his hometown as a helper. Although Filipa studied hard, the wars in the former Yugoslavia were too frequent in those years, and the busy work in the countryside prevented Filipa from finishing his studies.
In order to pursue his dream, 1992, Filipazzi took out all his savings, bid farewell to his parents and brothers, and left his war-torn hometown for the United States. When he first arrived in the United States, Filipa hardly knew English, so he found a job of sweeping the floor in a primary school that didn't need too many languages. Once, a teacher suggested that he go to Columbia University to find a job, so that he could attend classes for free, because although Columbia University is an Ivy League university next to Harvard, Princeton and Yale, the tuition is very expensive, but it has a very good policy, that is, it allows all employees in the school to attend classes for free.
After hearing the news, Filipazzi excitedly ran to Columbia University to look for a job, but there were no vacancies in the university at that time. In order to create opportunities for himself, Filipazzi bought a broom and cleaned outside the school every day, which soon left an impression on everyone. A month later, Filipa Qi actually got an interview with the university personnel department and was officially hired as a full-time cleaner at Columbia University.
If you want to take classes, you must learn English first. Filipazzi bought many books and audio-visual materials with his salary, and began to teach himself English in his spare time. After seven years of hard work, Filipazzi finally laid a good foundation in English. In 2000, Filipazzi entered the American College of General Education to consolidate his basic knowledge, and graduated three years later. At this time, Filipazzi was quite proficient in English, so he began a long-term "truant" life.
In the course, Filipazzi chose the most difficult "classical literature major". To take this course, you must first complete some core courses. No matter in time or energy, the gap between Filipazzi and young students is quite obvious. Every day, Filipa has classes in the morning and arrives at 1 1 at 2: 30 pm to clean up and take out the garbage. After work, I went back to my residence to continue reviewing, and time was tight. Filipazzi is in no hurry to achieve success. He only takes one or two courses each semester and diligently completes all the credits.
The income of cleaners is very limited. With the increase of time in the United States, Filipazzi met several job opportunities with higher salaries, but he never considered looking for another job because he didn't want to give up the opportunity of free study. Filipa feels that although he is only a cleaner with a broom every day at Columbia University, the learning opportunities he has at the same time are precious. Because of this, Filipa's academic performance has been very good. Although all the professors and classmates know that he is a school cleaner, they will still be surprised to see him holding a broom. However, Filipa is always indifferent to Ahaha's smile and doesn't feel inferior because he holds this broom in his hand.
In this way, after 19 years of hard work, Filipazzi finally passed the exam with excellent results in May 12. In order to attend the graduation ceremony of the school, Filipa also specially took two days off, and went back to work after the graduation ceremony. Columbia University is also proud to have such students, so it takes Filipa Qi as a positive example to inspire others, but Filipa Qi said that his dream has only been half realized, because he will continue to study for a master's degree and a doctor's degree.
After the graduation ceremony, when an American media asked Filipa Qi if he would find a better job in the future, he replied: "If there is a better job, it is certainly good, but I will not deliberately look for it, because for a person with a dream, a broom is enough to dance a wonderful life!"
Dream catcher celebrity story 4: Newton
Newton is regarded as the pioneer of modern science, and he has made great contributions to science. His three great achievements-the analysis of light, the law of gravity and calculus-laid the foundation for the development of modern science.
Why did Newton make great achievements in science? How did he become a great scientist from an ordinary person? To answer these questions, we can't help thinking of several stories about his hard study and hard work.
When it comes to Newton, people may think that he must have been a "prodigy" and "genius" when he was a child, with extraordinary intelligence.
In fact, Newton's childhood was thin and his mind was not smart. When I was studying in my hometown, I didn't study hard and got poor grades in my class. But he has a wide range of interests and his game skills are higher than those of ordinary children. Usually he likes to make mechanical models, such as windmills, waterwheels, sundials and so on. His elaborate water clock has won people's praise for its accurate timing.
Sometimes, the way he plays ball is also very strange. One day, he made a lantern and hung it on the tail of a kite. When night falls, the lighted lanterns rise into the air with the help of the rising power of kites. Luminous lanterns flow in the air, and people are frightened and think there is a comet. Nevertheless, he is often discriminated against because of his poor academic performance.
At that time, the hierarchy of British feudal society was very serious. Students who study well in primary and secondary schools may discriminate against those who study poorly. There was a game between classes. When everyone was in high spirits, a good student kicked Newton and called him an idiot. Newton's mind was angry at this * * *. He thought, we are all students. Why should I be bullied by him? I must pass him!
From then on, Newton made up his mind to study hard. He gets up early and goes to bed late. Every minute counts. He studies hard and thinks hard.
After studying hard, Newton's academic performance improved continuously, and soon surpassed the classmate who had bullied him, ranking first in the class.
