Seiji Ozawa is a world-famous symphony conductor. In the final of a world-class conductor competition, he played according to the score given by the jury, and keenly found the discordant voice. At first, he thought the band had made a mistake, so he stopped to play again, but it was still wrong. He thinks there is something wrong with music.

At this time, the composer present and the authority of the jury insisted that there was absolutely no problem with the score, but he was wrong. Facing a lot of music masters and authorities, he thought over and over again, and finally said firmly and loudly, "No! There must be something wrong with the score! " As soon as his voice fell, the judges on the bench immediately stood up and gave him warm applause to congratulate him on winning the game.

It turns out that this is a "trap" carefully designed by the judges to test whether the conductor can stick to his correct opinion when he finds that the score is wrong and is "denied" by the authoritative department. Although the first two conductors who participated in the final also found mistakes, they were eventually eliminated because they echoed the opinions of authoritative people. However, Seiji Ozawa won the world command contest because of his confidence.

2. Einstein

After the publication of Einstein's Theory of Relativity, someone once wrote a book, One Hundred Refutations of Relativity, and collected a group of so-called celebrities to make a huge refutation of this theory.

However, Einstein was confident that his theory would win and rejected the rebuttal. He said: "If my theory is wrong, a rebuttal is enough, and a hundred zeros add up to zero." He strengthened his belief in winning, persisted in his research, and finally made "Theory of Relativity" a great theory in the 20th century, attracting worldwide attention.

3. Madame Curie and Radium

Only with confidence can we overcome the immediate difficulties and see a bright future.

In order to extract pure radium, determine its atomic weight, and prove the existence of radium to science, Madame Curie used to wear work clothes covered with dust and stains all day long, stir the smelting pot with iron bars almost as high as her in an extremely simple hut, and look for traces of radium from the asphalt mine waste residue of a mountain. The conditions are extremely difficult, but her heart is full of confidence.

She said to her friends: "We should have perseverance, especially self-confidence! We must believe that our talent is used to do something, and this kind of thing must be done at any cost. " She finally succeeded.

4. Jenny

Jenny is a little girl. She always likes to keep her head down, because she always feels that she is not beautiful enough and has no confidence in herself. One day, she went to the jewelry store and bought a green bow. The shopkeeper always praises her beautiful clothes.

Jenny didn't believe it, but she was so happy that she couldn't help looking up. Because we are eager to show you our new image, when we go out, we don't care if we meet anyone.

Jenny walked into the classroom and met the teacher face to face. "Jenny, you are so beautiful!" The teacher patted her on the shoulder and said. Jenny was praised by many people that day. She thinks it must be the result of the bow.

When she comes home at night, she wants to see the new bow, but she looks in front of the mirror. There is no bow on her head at all.

5. Eleanor Roosevelt

Fear is the most destructive emotion in the world. I fight it and overcome it by helping those who are not as rich as me. I believe that anyone who does what he is afraid of and keeps doing it until he has a record of success can overcome his fear.
