Try to let the struggle move you

"The most important thing for a person to realize his dream is to have the following two conditions: courage and action," Yu said. Visible light is not enough to have cleverness and courage, we need to put it into action. To fight, as long as the fight, there is a chance to realize our dream.

Each of us has a dream, but there will be a variety of gaps between reality and the dream, want to shorten these gaps, we must rely on hard work. Some people will say, I have been struggling, but still can not achieve my dream. Filipacchi, a man from the former Yugoslavia, told you that you didn't realize your dreams because you didn't fight hard enough to move. Which means you're not trying hard enough.

When you know the story of Filipachi's life, you will believe him. Because he fought his way from a poor farmer's son to a bachelor's degree at Columbia University, and his story has moved and inspired millions of people across America and around the world.

Filipacchi was born in 1960 in Montenegro, a poor part of the former Yugoslavia. Filipacchi loved learning from an early age, but his parents, who ran a small farm, could not afford to send him to school. Filipacchi had no choice but to help his parents on the small farm.

'Life is so hard,' thought Philippazzi. 'Must I live like this all my life? Of course not. I need to work hard to change that. Philippazzi made up his mind and began to teach himself. He helped his parents with farm work during the day and read and studied at night.

But without the guidance of a teacher, Filipach's academic performance is not ideal. His parents advised him to give up his unrealistic ideas and settle down in farming. Filipacchi was also upset, but he thought that my grades were not good enough, which meant that I had not worked hard enough. I need to work harder. Filipacchi was now thirty years old. But instead of giving up studying, he rented a house near the campus to get into the school and rent classes to attend.

While Philippic was working hard on his studies, the war broke out. Philippic's home was so ravaged by a war that no one could settle down to study. Many students on campus have given up their studies. It was thought that Filipacchi would give up this time, but instead, he fled to America to study and began to begin a miserable way.

Filipazzi, who knew nothing about English, lived on the streets of New York. He slept on street benches, subways, and tunnels, and was bullied by other homeless people. His life fell into a very bad situation.

Filipacchi did not give up on himself. He believed that his hard work would change his miserable fate. With this faith, Filipacchi continued to learn while he was wandering. He learned English first, completely ignoring the ridicule of others, as long as someone spoke, he would focus on listening and imitating.

Time paid off, and after a while, Filipacchi was able to communicate in English, so he found a job, and put an end to his wanderings.

Filipacchi was not satisfied with his efforts, and he believed that he could have a better life. So while working, he went to the local high school to systematically learn English. Seven years later, he speaks fluent English.

Philippic was satisfied with his struggle, and his struggle moved a language teacher. The teacher saw that he had perseverance and perseverance, but also hard work, convinced that he could make a difference, so he guided him to Columbia University. Filipacchi worked as a janitor at Columbia University while majoring in classics.

He kept his time very tight, studying in the morning, working in the afternoon, and reviewing his lessons in the evening. Every day. He was very tired. Compared with the tiredness of the body, the ridicule from all sides of the campus is more difficult to bear. But no matter how hard it was, Filipach never thought of giving up. "This learning opportunity is so precious that I can't ruin it," he said. I have to work hard and hard to live up to all this."

Philippazzi kept that faith for 19 years, and at the age of 52, he finally earned his bachelor's degree in classics from Columbia University and became an overnight celebrity at Columbia. "I'm only halfway there. My dream is to do a Ph.D., so I'm going to keep going," Philippazzi said when interviewed by the author.

Filipacchi's success was the result of his hard work. He spent 19 years realizing his dream, moved, and also moved the whole world.

In this world, everyone has a dream, but the real dream of the people, but less than one in ten thousand of the total human beings. Those who do not achieve their dreams, not because they are not smart enough, but because they feel that dreams are out of reach, very far away, only suitable for leisure time to think about, but never really to work hard to achieve them. So they are stuck in a rut.

And that part of the dream of the people is to understand the meaning of struggle. After they set a dream, they will try to overcome a difficult problem on the road. They firmly believe that many obstacles are necessary for the way of realizing their dreams and that without obstacles, the dream would not be a dream at all.

The nobler the dream, the more difficulties we encounter in the process of pursuing the dream. If you do not achieve the desired results in the process of realizing your dream, that means your efforts are not enough, your struggle has not touched you, and how can you move the world?

Do what Filipacchi did and try to beat the odds. When you struggle so hard that you are moved, your dream will come true. From now on, happiness belongs to you.
