Inspiring stories

At the edge of the sea, a fisherman's family was in a desperate situation. Winter came and the wind capsized their fishing boat just in time for the fisherman to catch a bad cold. Cold weather, creditors door, how should they tide over this difficulty?

The fisherman, who had always been optimistic and open-minded, was silent for the first time, his face full of helplessness and sadness.

At that time, the fisherman's son was only 16 years old. Children in poor families are the masters early, and the 16-year-old son clearly knows that his family is in despair. "Don't be afraid. I have a plan." After saying this, the son drank three bowls of hot porridge and set out. He put two baskets on his shoulders and ran confidently to the sea. Facing the biting wind, he stripped off his clothes and plunged into the icy water.

Then the miracle happened: schools of sharp fish came to the boy's side. They crept into his armpits and tucked their legs around his body. The child gritted his teeth and easily filled two baskets with pointe fish.

Originally, this sea lives a kind of pointy fish, every time cold, come, they all have very strong hasten heat. The child is using his warm body to attract a large number of pointed fish...

There was once a young man who came to a strange city to work alone after graduating from university. She ran out of money, had no relatives, and the landlord demanded rent every day. Although one company has decided to hire him, which company is willing to advance his salary to a person who hasn't started working yet?

One Sunday, the young man dragged his heavy legs to a recycling company. Looking at piles of paper, drink boxes... Blushing, the young man asked the boss the price of the waste products.

He found a broken sack and resolutely went to the street to scavenge. Enduring people's eyes and the baptism of wind and rain, he walked through every corner of the city, picking up waste, but also accumulated the desire for the future life, accumulated the determination and strength to continue living in this strange city. When he took over the "first bucket of gold" dug in the city from the scrap shop owner, the youth's eyes were moist, he heard the cry in the heart: "There is no desperate survival, it depends on whether you are willing to do it."

Yes, it was the boy who caught the pointy fish who helped the family out with his body while the others were around the stove. Young people are not afraid of being looked down upon by others. They put down the AIRS of college students and make a foothold in distant cities by picking up rubbish. When you lose everything, we still have life When you are faced with the confusion of life, why not think about the things that no one else will do?

Survival is not desperate, in fact, you are willing to do.

2. Harvard University Library has a motto that reads: "If you go to bed now, you will have sweet dreams; If you read now, your dreams will come true." When I traveled to the United States, I chose Harvard University as my first stop. The first thing you do when you visit Harvard is go to the Vidler Library.

With 3.45 million volumes, Vidler Library is the most modest of Harvard's more than 100 libraries. However, this ordinary library is very unusual.

Outside the solid wall of Red New England brick stand two stone tablets, one of which reads: "Vidler, Harvard student, born June 3, 1885, sank with the Titanic on April 12, 1912." Another inscription reads: "This library was founded by Vidler's mother on June 24, 1915. The most significant book in the museum is the Collected Essays of Francis Bacon."

It turned out that When the Titanic sank, Vidler and his mother were trying to escape in a small boat. Suddenly, Vidler turned to let his mother get into the boat first, but he turned to go back to his cabin. He told his mother, "I forgot the Essays of Francis Bacon. I can't let this book I love go to the bottom of the sea!" In this way, the book-loving Harvard-educated Vidler, in order to rescue a book, eventually sank to the bottom of the sea with the book.

In a corner of the library's main hall, I finally found the book of Francis Bacon's essays that I had been longing for for a long time. In a small, airtight glass case, the book is completely faded. This book is the first book vidler's mother bought after donating to the library. The book has lain here for 95 years. At the bottom were the words: "The Book is with Vidler!"

I walked out of the Vidler Library with a strange mood and looked affectionately at the Harvard campus bathed in brilliant sunshine. The statue of Harvard stands in front of the wall of the old campus. Pedestrians on the road, not thick makeup, no yan clothing, only in a hurry; By the lake, under the trees and on the lawn, students were reading, taking notes and thinking.

Harvard covers an area of 154 hectares. There are no modern high-rise buildings, but there are libraries built in red brick of New England. Harvard people love books. In Harvard, everyone is a library, so to speak.
