Inspirational stories of foreign celebrities
Once was a chance encounter with an auction of unclaimed bicycles during a school truancy. The bidding for the first bike began and Johnson, standing in front of it, called out, "Two dollars." The bidding continued, and the auctioneer took one look at the young boy, who did not continue to answer the bidding. The next few bikes were auctioned off, with Johnson bidding two dollars at a time, as if he had no intention of adding more. Two dollars was too little, and on the floor, each bike ended up selling for a few dozen dollars. The auctioneer was surprised and asked him why he didn't raise his bid again, and Johnson said, "I only have two dollars." As the auction looked to be over, with only one last beautiful bike left on the block, the auctioneer asked, "Any bids?" At this point, Johnson, who was standing at the front of the room and had almost lost hope, said, "Two dollars." The auctioneer stopped singing as everyone in the room fell silent, no one raised their hands, and no one bid again. Finally, Johnson took out the two dollars he held in his hand and bought the most beautiful bike in the room. For Johnson, it was only by chance that he came across the auction, but the success of the auction was the chance of the chance. It was this serendipity that gave Johnson enough confidence to believe that anything is possible and not to give up easily.
