Hello, I am Zi Mo, I have the honor to meet you here. Every time you like, pay attention, collect and forward is the driving force for me to move forward on the road of creation, grateful for each other's companionship, let us ink and run the fragrance of books together.
Today brings you the life story of three hardcore gods. They created a miracle of personal life, and there is no word "impossible" in their dictionary. They dare to try, constantly challenge and break through themselves, they love life and never stop exploring the pace of life. The spirit of never giving up shines in them, and on the journey of spiritual strength, it shows us how to be a truly strong person.
Today, let's get closer to their legendary story and appreciate how wonderful life is without limits!
"If you believe in a Creator, you should fear the Creator by respecting His creatures. By studying our planet and how it works, scientists show respect for creation. They serve humanity with their own discoveries. ”
—John Goodenough
"I'm only 90 years old, and there's time."
When he said this, John Goodenough was 90 years old.
He just made a new decision: to study solid-state batteries.
People have questioned his physical condition, believing that the old man has been running with Nobel for many years and will eventually become a pity.
No one expected that just 7 years after the old man's "super rigid" response, he actually won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and became the oldest winner in the history of the Nobel Prize.
In 1922, Goodenough was born in the United States to a wealthy family, but his parents' relationship was extremely bad from an early age, and his father was very strict with him, resulting in his only playmate throughout his childhood being a dog named Mac.
On the eve of the 18-year-old college entrance examination, his parents divorced, and he was angry to get into Yale University, but his father was only willing to give him $35 in tuition, which was $900 at Yale at the time.
In the end, I paid the tuition by tutoring the children of rich families.
In his first semester, Yale was free to choose his subjects, starting with the Department of Classical Literature and later transferring to the Department of Philosophy, taking two chemistry courses to earn enough credits.
After a year of study, he found that he suffered from dyslexia, so he excluded the literature major and chose the mathematics department to continue his studies.
In 1943, after graduating from undergraduate, it was just in time for the outbreak of World War II.
He signed up for the U.S. Air Force, but instead of becoming a pilot, he was sent to a small island in the Pacific to collect meteorological data.
This toss, the old man's life has passed nearly 30 years.
After the war, Mr. Goodenough felt that his life was about to start again.
So he went to the Physics Department of the University of Chicago. However, the old man who studied for the Doctorate did not start well, and the entrance examination began with a hanging subject. But the old man who did not abandon and did not give up finally obtained a doctorate in physics from the University of Chicago at the age of 30.
Start his research direction. He has been working in the laboratory for 20 years and has achieved a lot of success. But at this time, the laboratory's experimental funds were cut, and when he reached middle age, he was at risk of "unemployment".
At this time, Oxford University threw an olive branch at him. But opportunities always go hand in hand with challenges, but fortunately, the old man is never afraid to start over.
At an age of discrimination, it is difficult to start a career again. But Mr. Goodenough turned difficulties into opportunities. This PhD in physics became the director of the Laboratory of Inorganic Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford for his past research.
It was also here that he began to study batteries. That is, the research that won him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Starting at the age of 54 and lithium cobalt oxide material at the age of 57, the expansion of lithium batteries has become possible.
Ordinary people can achieve such achievements, they can lie on the merit book and rest assured that the pension is to entertain the grandson, but the old man still can't stop.
At the age of 64, he learned that Oxford professors would be forced to retire at the age of 65, and in order not to retire, he ran away at the age of 64 to continue his research in Texas. Ben 7 people, what else is possible?
In 1997, he proposed the iron carbonate entry lithium material, which is cheaper than the previous one and completely non-toxic. He was 75 years old, and this research became an important foundation for the era of electric vehicles.
At the age of 30, he had just touched the door of the field of scientific research and entered the industry.
54 years old to start lithium battery research;
57 years old to make results;
64-year-old refuses to retire to start a new challenge;
At the age of 75, he has once again contributed to all mankind;
At the age of 97, he became the oldest Nobel Laureate.
A 97-year-old man who is still active in the front line of scientific research, has experienced countless ups and downs in his life, never admits defeat, never gives up, and lives for a century, breaking through himself again and again, and also benefiting people in this century. As a young generation, what reason do we have to give up lightly and surrender our weapons to life?
With or without limbs, fear is the biggest disability.
Maybe your life isn't going too well right now
But as long as you hold on
As long as you keep moving forward
Anything is possible. —Nick Hu Zhe
Nick Hu Zhe, a seal patient with no hands and feet at birth, through his unremitting efforts and never give up spirit, obtained a double bachelor's degree in accounting and financial planning, and held 2,000 motivational speeches around the world, his footprints in more than 60 countries around the world, and published 5 inspirational books, inspiring tens of millions of people to pick up the courage to live, get hundreds of thousands of love hugs, he can also enjoy swimming, diving, diving, surfing, golf, fishing and other activities. It's hard to imagine how he lived and how he did it all.
Born in Australia in 1982, Nick's mother was a nurse who knew everything about medicine and had been carefully caring for him during her pregnancy, but fate did not take care of little Nick.
On the day of birth, everyone was startled by the little baby in front of them, which had no limbs and only a mutilated left foot.
It all happened without warning, and the whole family thought it was just a nightmare. Nick's mother, on the other hand, was once hard to accept and didn't even have the courage to hug him.
Little Nick was in the hospital for 4 months before his parents accepted this reality, took him home and decided to raise him well.
Although the family is not wealthy, in order to make Nick's life better, the parents tried various devices to help Nick.
When Nick was 6 years old, his dad saved up money to buy him a computer and taught him to type with only two toes. His mother made him a device made of plastic to help him write with his feet to "hold the pen".
When someone looks at him with strange eyes, his parents will comfort him and say: They envy you for having flexible little feet! His parents always told him: You are very good, we love you very much! That gives Nick enough support!
Under the careful care of his parents, he spent a happy childhood and was not too depressed by the lack of limbs.
After going to school, however, everything changed. Because he wanted him to grow up like a normal person, his parents did not send him to school for the disabled. It took them two years to get Nick, 8, into regular school. But that was the beginning of his nightmare.
Schools are normal kids, and everyone else sits on the bench during class. Only Nick had to stand on the table and write and draw with his pen in his feet.
Whether it was his looks or behavior, Nick seemed too strange, and he was ridiculed at school. They called him ugly and didn't play with him.
Sometimes, 12 classmates laugh at him in a day, and he doesn't understand why such a thing should happen to him. Sometimes he went to bed crying, expecting that when he woke up, an arm would appear on his body.
Of course, such a miracle will never happen. He felt that there was nothing to look forward to in life, that he could not work, that he could not get married, that he could not do anything. There is no way to live a good life, it will only become a burden on parents.
At the age of 10, he wanted to drown himself in the bathtub. Just as his body was about to sink, many images flashed in his mind, and he suppressed the thought that suicide would hurt his parents even more, and the thought of his parents and siblings crying in front of his grave.
He said: There is no such thing as "can't do" or "can't do" in this world, only "don't want to do" and "don't dare to do.". When you lose all your dependence, you will naturally be able to do everything.
Dissuaded from the idea of taking his own life, he began to try to live independently. Actions that others can easily complete, he needs to practice dozens of times with the help of various tools to do it.
A light turn on action, he has to use the golf club, with the chin and shoulder against the club, and then with the other end of the hit to open the level to complete.
He learned to dress himself, shave his beard with a mouth-activated switch, comb his hair with a fixed comb, and brush his teeth by twisting his head. Despite the difficulties, after a long period of practice, he can basically live independently.
When Nick was 17 years old, an orator came to the school to give a speech, and everyone was very touched in just 10 minutes. That's when he found that speaking was a cool and meaningful thing to do, both to make a living and to help others.
At the age of 19, he began to sell his speech, called 53 schools, was rejected by 52 schools, and finally one school agreed, but only gave him 5 minutes of time, he was so nervous that he did not know what he said, but there were audience members who moved to tears. This gave him a boost of confidence.
He was able to type 43 words a minute on his little feet and earned a double degree in accounting and financial planning.
In 2003, at the age of 21, he graduated from college and could have gone to work in accounting and entered a relatively relaxed life track, but he felt that speaking was more helpful to others, so he chose to make speech a career.
Over the years, he has given more than 1,600 speeches in more than 60 countries, and has published books such as "Never Stop" and "Life Is Not Limited".
Now he had broken down his physical limitations one by one.
He can go fishing, he can play football, he can play golf, he can even dive, he can ride horses, he can even do things that normal people may not be able to do.
He went to Colombia to dive to a depth of 30 meters, he went surfing in Hawaii, completed the difficult maneuver of 360-degree rotation, and for this reason appeared on the cover of Surf magazine .
In 2011, he met Miyahara Kanae, in the face of love, Nick said emotionally: Although I can't hold my lover with my hands, I can hug her with my heart, and in 2012, the two happily entered the marriage hall.
They also had cute children, each with healthy limbs.
He used to be so unfortunate, but now he has done it, with a happy family and a successful career. What was thought impossible is now a reality.
Nick sometimes jokes that God has a plan in my life to give hope to others through my story.
If he hadn't tried to live independently and given up this life early, Nick would never have known that his life could have been so wonderful.
As he said in his speech: Fear of limbs or not is the greatest disability.
Life will always have one way or another of bad luck, but the most terrible thing is to lose the courage to face it positively.
All suffering is a precious asset of life, and in his heart, as long as everything he does can change a person's life, then everything is worth it.
He is over eighty years old, his sideburns are white, but he can ride horses, he can skate, he can DJ, he can walk the catwalk, he can act.....
At the age of 85, it took only 3 months of devil training to successfully put on the flight suit and soar freely in the sky.
He is known as "China's coolest master", he is a unique master in the art world, he is the person who has been recorded in the history of China for a hundred years. He is the body artist and film actor Wang Deshun.
On March 25, 2015, during the China International Fashion Week, a catwalk with the theme of "Northeast Cotton Jacket", Wang Deshun's white hair and green body, his bare arms on the catwalk photos spread all over the Internet. In an instant, the audience was dazzled, and his muscular figure and shaking spirit made a group of netizens praise it, calling it the most handsome "old fresh meat" in China.
Before everyone could return to Their senses, this great master came to another wave of divine operations. On August 20, 2021, the 85-year-old Wang Deshun broke through many "checkpoints" and completed all the flight subjects at Miyun Mujiayu Airport in only 3 months, successfully received his flight license, and realized his blue sky dream.
Handsome and free- and persistent and unyielding personality has cast the legendary life of Wang Deshun.
Born into a rural family in Shenyang, Wang Deshun worked first as a conductor at the Shenyang Tram Company and later as a worker in the Shenyang Military Factory. Since then, he has been interested in theatrical performances.
At that time, the Shenyang Workers' Cultural Palace did not need money for classes, so he signed up for drama classes, dance classes, vocal music classes, and recitation classes to lay the foundation for himself. Until 1960, Wang Deshun finally successfully entered a drama troupe of the Shenyang Military Region.
In 1985, Wang Deshun, who studied well, had the honor of participating in the International Brecht System Symposium.
And performed the mime "Man and the Snake".
It was also in this year that Wang Deshun's "styling pantomime" became the only type of pantomime in the world.
With the mentality of "living to learn from old age", Wang Deshun continued to study in acting.
Finally, in 1993, the 57-year-old Wang Deshun had broken through himself and successfully created a "living statue". Add a touch of color to the drama stage in the entertainment industry. Become a professional drama actor. After 10 years of study, he was assigned to the Changchun Drama Theatre.
After the fire, Wang Deshun was photographed by many directors in the entertainment industry and invited him to shoot TV series and movies.
Faced with this opportunity, Wang Deshun seized the "rope" of fate.
He filmed "Pancake Man" directed by Dapeng and starred in the movie "Winter" and Zhang Yishan's version of "Deer DingJi" with Aaron Kwok.
His various film and television characters are elegant and unconventional, and although they wear ordinary costumes, they can reveal the strong temperament of the characters.
In the movie "Winter", he portrayed the encounter between a lonely old man and a fish, a bird and a child in the snowy mountains, so that people did not dare to look at it directly. It can be seen how superb Wang Deshun's acting skills are.
Many people call him "fashion old man", but he says that he is not fashionable, does not pursue fashion, and does not follow fashion: I do my own thing, what I look like is what I look like.
His figure is strong and fashionable, although his hair is white, he is radiant and radiant, and his whole person is handsome and free, exuding a unique charm.
In order to maintain your figure, even at the age of 85, you still train for 2 hours a day without moving, how self-disciplined is this?
Some people call him "inspirational uncle", not because of brilliant achievements, but his attitude to life, at the age of 80, he is more confident than 20 years old, younger than 30 years old, and more energetic than 40 years old.
From becoming a drama actor at the age of 24, learning English at the age of 44, pioneering mime at the age of 49, creating a new art form "living sculpture" at the age of 57, starting fitness at the age of 70, and stepping onto the catwalk at the age of 79, he is still not stopping and still working hard at the age of 85. How much courage does it take to break through and subvert yourself all the way?
epilogue:
Romain Rolland once said: "There is only one true heroism in the world, that is, to love life after knowing the truth of life." ”
The real strong and heroic are like this, their lives are like ordinary people, there are many sufferings, there are many truths that have to be accepted, and the reason why they are great is that they can accept these truths calmly, can be accommodated with a calm attitude, and calmly change.
For the strong, suffering is not only suffering, but also a grind that makes people constantly stronger, difficulties are not only difficulties, difficulties are also tests that make people constantly surpass themselves.
Because there is an uncompromising backbone, the courage to do their best, and the tenacity to persevere, those who are strong can achieve their strength.
Only with an unlimited life, you can burst out the greatest energy and live the most wonderful self! May you and I encourage each other!
Your likes, followers, and retweets are my biggest encouragement! American and Chinese appreciation, Zi Mo looks forward to working with you, thank you very much!
