When it comes to inspirational films, Forrest Gump is definitely on the list, a film released in 1994 that is recognized as a classic among the classics.
The inspirational life of the protagonist Forrest Gump has made many people in confusion see hope and see a little light in the darkness.
A child with an IQ of only 75 seems to have a mediocre life without any color, but on the contrary, Forrest Gump has created many amazing achievements.
A closer look at Forrest Gump's life reveals that no matter how many twists and turns his life is full of, he is not decadent, he is not depressed, he is not complaining, on the contrary, he is optimistic, always has a positive attitude towards life, and finally becomes a millionaire.
While lamenting Forrest Gump's life experiences, we will also find a profound philosophy that there is no shortcut to success, you must have these three qualities.
Only by working hard can we have the possibility of changing our destiny
Born in a small town after World War II, Forrest Gump's life was unfortunate because his back was bent and he needed to wear leg hoops to correct his body.
The physical defects have made Forrest Gump painful enough, and what is even more tragic is that his IQ is only 75, and he is judged to be incompetent, and the school considers the promotion rate and decides not to accept Forrest Gump.
Thankfully, Forrest Gump has a strong mother who constantly encourages her son: "Don't care if other people say they are better than you, if God wants everyone to be the same, He will give each of them a pair of feet." 」 ”
After his mother's hard work, Forrest Gump finally got the opportunity to study, and before entering the campus, his mother told him: "You are like everyone else, no different." ”
But because of physical and intellectual defects, no one really treated him, and when he sat on the school bus, no one gave him a seat, and they even bullied him and teased him.
In the face of bullying from his classmates, Forrest Gump initially chose to be patient, and then his friend Jenny told him: "Run." ”
For a person with leg hoops, it is extremely inconvenient to walk, let alone run against the wind.
But with Jenny's encouragement, Forrest Gump gained a drive and he really learned to run.
Forrest Gump was originally ordinary, his life started lower than anyone, but Forrest Gump worked harder than anyone else, and from the moment he started running, he never stopped.
He ran into the football team, into the university, into the army, he was even received by the president, and later Forrest Gump, even became a millionaire.
Some people say that Forrest Gump is the embodiment of ideals, and his life is mixed with luck, but in fact, Forrest Gump's achievements are the result of his efforts.
On the battlefield, all his teammates were injured, he braved the rain of bullets to carry his comrades back one by one, saved the entire army by himself, and finally because of his outstanding achievements, the president personally awarded him a medal of honor.
After leaving the army, he began to study shrimp fishing, because of lack of experience, countless times out to sea are empty-handed, if it is others, probably gave up a long time ago, but Forrest Gump did not, he began to seriously study the shrimp fishing data, and finally successfully reversed, not only learned to catch shrimp, but also set up his own company.
Everything Forrest Gump gets seems to be full of accidents and opportunities, but behind it is hidden sweat and tears that others can't see.
Therefore, he will get rid of physical and intellectual obstacles and usher in the willows of life.
It is often said, "Successful people tend to be ninety-nine percent effort, plus one percent luck." ”
One percent of luck is often the most rare, so many people in the pursuit of dreams, a little setback, they give up ninety-nine efforts, think that everything is in vain,
As everyone knows, if you want to go out of an unusual path, you often need to use ninety-nine efforts to exchange for one percent of your luck.
On the road ahead, if you want to get out of trouble and make a difference, hard work is essential, because when you work hard enough, the whole world will make way for you.
Focus on doing things, in order to achieve their own achievements
Someone asked: After reading "Forrest Gump", what is the biggest touch?
There is a highly praised answer at the bottom:
Forrest Gump's concentration touched me very much, and in a sense, this concentration also changed my destiny.
Compared with those who claim to be smart, Forrest Gump is not smart enough, but it is this small flaw that makes him face any interference from the external environment and only concentrate on doing what is in front of him.
Bullied as a child, he was not pessimistic, did not complain, but ran crazy; when he grew up and joined the football team, he was still undistracted, he did not know any skills, only knew that when the ball passed to his hand, he had to keep running.
After joining the army, when others were complaining or chatting, he only focused on loading weapons, so every time he was on a mission, he was always the first to complete it.
Later, when Forrest Gump was in the hospital, he began to learn table tennis, from not playing to becoming an All-Star, relying on the sentence: "Don't relax when you stare at the ball." ”
As Emerson said, "Focus, love, and concentration on what you expect will reap the rewards." ”
Although Forrest Gump is not as talented as a human being, he is pure in his heart, no matter how his identity changes, no matter how his circumstances change, the quality he has always insisted on is to "maintain his concentration".
Haruki Murakami once said, "A life without concentration is like seeing nothing with your eyes wide open." ”
On the other hand, around us, people who can exert their concentration to the extreme are always a minority, we have too many distractions in our hearts, and we do not know how to restrain, and finally busy for half a life, waiting for ourselves is still the same life.
A dedicated person, even if he comes from an ordinary background, will have the possibility of creating miracles.
Only by focusing on doing things will you not fly like a headless bird, and will create extraordinary achievements in silence, on the contrary, no matter how smart you are, if you do not have convincing concentration, you will eventually do nothing.
Treating people sincerely is a compulsory course in life
Shakespeare once said, "Honesty is the most impressive thing." ”
Many people are touched by Forrest Gump, but it is actually the sincerity that stems from him, which is a very scarce quality for modern people.
Forrest Gump is a very simple person, he will not play tricks, let alone deceive me, no matter who he contacts, he will show all sincerity.
Jenny played an extremely important role in Forrest Gump's life, at first the two were just friends, and then Forrest Gump fell in love with Jenny, but he did not use words, but only expressed his love with actions.
Although Jenny initially had no feelings for Forrest Gump's love, after ups and downs, Forrest Gump's sincerity finally touched Jenny and gained her care and admiration.
On the battlefield, Forrest Gump also has a sincere heart, in the moment of life and death, he did not just care about his own escape, but chose to risk his life, turn around to rescue his comrades, and for this reason, he received the friendship of Captain Deng Taylor and also received the Medal of Honor.
Forrest Gump is the same for his friends, because of the war, he lost his friend Buba, but he has always remembered Buba's wishes, in order to fulfill his promise to Buba, after retiring from the army, Forrest Gump chose to return to his hometown to "catch shrimp", with the help of his friend Deng Taylor, Forrest Gump's career has grown by leaps and bounds, becoming the envy of everyone.
Dumas said, "One or two levels of sincerity equals a ton of intelligence," forrest Gump, though intellectually low, was more sincere than anyone with a high IQ.
Sincerity is an undisguised, undisguised transparency;
It is a kind of exposure without a mask and without hypocrisy;
Sincerity is a frankness, but also a peace.
Walking between heaven and earth, if you want to harvest the best friendship and great success, sincerity is undoubtedly an indispensable magic weapon, not to play smart, is the best personality charm, will make your life full of sunshine, full of warmth and love.
Forrest Gump's mother said: "Life is like a chocolate, you never know what the next one will taste like." ”
Just like Forrest Gump, although judged to be incompetent, he has achieved impressive results, in fact, everyone's future is full of infinite possibilities, but the premise is that you have the spirit of Forrest Gump.
Regardless of origin, don't forget to run hard;
Whatever you do, start with it; be sincere enough for everyone in your life.
Life is hurried for decades, if you want to overcome fate and make life wonderful, you may wish to learn Forrest Gump, maybe you will usher in a new turning point, let people's lives become different.
