In April 1997, a boy named Piao Yun signed up for a speech contest organized by the Niebel National High School in Switzerland. Many students in the class were surprised by such a decision, because Piao Yun was shy and introvert and did not like to talk. He always blushed when he met strangers. Dare not look at the girl's pretty face.

For such an introvert, signing up for a speech contest can have an unpredictable effect. The monitor expressed doubt, so he did not send his registration to the director, when Piao Yun knew the news, he was furious, went directly to the director of the director, to state his views to him. Mr. Charles looked up and saw a burly but slightly shy teenager, and he directly added Park Yun's name to the list of speech competition.

On the day of the match, Park Yun's speech went awry. After he came to the stage, in the face of the dark audience, for a time speechless, unable to speak, the words also forget all, the students gave him a loud laugh, he was more nervous, until in the eyes of everyone laughing, he rushed out of the school auditorium.

This incident made Charles very embarrassed, because it was he who took the risk to add the speech list, for which he was also criticized by the school leaders, which is a joke for the hundred-year history of the Niebur National High School.

Piaoyun suffered a painful blow, he was unhappy for a few days, gave birth to the idea of returning home, he felt for his country lost face, sorry for his father's careful teaching, is a shame.

Just as he was packing, Teacher Charles invited him to go on a spring outing in the countryside, which he shamefully accepted.

In the wild, there are mountain flowers everywhere in full bloom, Charles teacher did not complain about him, just bowed his head to watch the flowers blossoming at the foot, PiaoYun want to explain what, but for a time feel confused.

Charles saw a cluster of flowers, ran to look at it carefully, but he shook his head after looking at the flowers, and said to Piaoyun: Look at this flower, so beautiful, but there are worms biting the petals.

Piaoyun was a little confused, but he answered Mr. Charles casually: Such a beautiful flower, can also be hurt?

Charles smiled and continued: "You can examine every flower, there is no flower in the world that is not hurt, and every flower is born to face either the bite of an insect, or the fury of a wind, or a disease that will erode its body."

Piaoyun according to the teacher's instructions, to observe each flower, looks very bright flowers, look at the petals, or observe its branches and leaves, always scarred. Park Yun was thoughtful.

This is called Piaoyun children back to overcome the original concerns, he began to sign up for each competition organized by the school, although every time the total difficult to escape the doom of failure, but he is mature day by day.

The next spring, the school organized a speech contest, we saw a very different Piaoyun, his speech won a full house, no doubt got the first place in the competition.

The boy, Park UN, who goes by the North Korean name Kim Jong-un, went on to become a North Korean general, and the heir apparent to the supreme leadership.

On December 19, 2011, North Korean media announced that Kim Jong UN had become the supreme leader of North Korea after the tragic death of his father Kim Jong Il on December 17, 2011, and vowed to uphold his leadership.

There is no flower in the world that does not hurt, there is no life in the world that does not hurt.
