Men can be knocked down, never defeated!
Even at the lowest point, you can try to get up.
There is such a movie, which is one of the most inspirational movies.
It always gives me strength when I am most confused.
Today, I recommend him to you in the hope that it will also give you strength.
In 1981, a serious economic crisis broke out in the United States.
Thousands of people were laid off, became homeless people, and lived off government subsidies.
Our male protagonist, Chris Gardner, fiddled with the Rubik's Cube in his hand, sat in front of the TV.
On television was President Reagan's report on the economy.
There was no hope at all, Gardner had a sad look on his face.
He had been unemployed for months, and his wife and children could not even eat.
Gardner was a medical supplies salesman.
At that time, a new medical device came out, and he thought it would sell well.
He took out all his family property and purchased a large number of medical instruments.
Get ready to make a big profit.
Unexpectedly, in the face of an economic crisis, medical equipment could not be sold at all.
Gardner had nothing but a batch of useless medical instruments.
In order to subsidize the family, the wife worked two jobs and was physically and mentally exhausted.
Looking at Gardner at home, she was even angrier.
Every day he was either sneering or glaring at him.
Gardner did not dare to say a word, and every day he carried medical equipment out to sell.
I have not paid my rent for two consecutive months.
The car was also towed away because there was no money to pay the ticket.
He has reached the trough of his life.
There had been no smile on his face for a long time.
One day, he was passing by a building.
The people who came out of it were all smiling and full of happiness.
It doesn't fit in with this depressed world.
He stopped a man and asked them what they were doing.
Men say they work as stockbrokers and earn a lot of money.
A seed was planted in Gardner's heart, and that was his wish.
He also wanted that kind of happiness.
Gardner has always been a real activist who thinks and does it.
He immediately went to submit his resume and apply for an internship.
However, his low education is his hard wound, and others simply can't look up to him.
Gardner didn't give up, he stayed downstairs, waiting for the head of personnel.
The kung fu paid off, and he finally waited for the head of personnel.
The resume was successfully handed over to the supervisor.
Only from then on the stone sank into the sea, and there was no more news.
He continued to squat downstairs, and a month later, he waited again for the supervisor.
In order to have more time to introduce himself, he lied that he was on the same road as his supervisor and got into the same taxi.
The supervisor did not listen to his introduction at all, and only thought about playing Rubik's Cube.
Before long, the supervisor got tired of it and said that this thing could not be restored at all.
Gardner seized the opportunity to make a bet with the manager.
Say you can restore the Rubik's Cube.
The supervisor smiled contemptuously and said, "If you can restore, I will give you an interview." ”
Soon, the smile on the supervisor's face disappeared.
Because Gardner spelled out the first side, and soon the second side, the third side.
Taxi drivers, can't help but look back.
The supervisor put away his contempt and observed the young man head-on for the first time.
Although this young man was very thin, he had a lot of spirit in his eyes.
The supervisor remembered the young man and got out of the car.
Gardner was pleased, but soon he was horrified to find that the supervisor had not paid for the taxi at all.
And for a dozen dollars in taxi money, he couldn't afford to pay.
No way, he took advantage of the taxi driver's lack of attention and ran with medical equipment.
While running, he apologized.
The driver did not accept the apology and chased after it.
Gardner ran madly into the subway station and jumped on the subway.
However, when the people went up, the medical equipment was stopped at the door.
The only thing he could change his money for was also lost.
When he got home, his wife, who couldn't bear it, wanted to leave him.
A big man, alone with a child.
At this time, the landlord wants to drive them out again, because they have not paid the rent for too long.
He pleaded with the landlord for some grace and offered to paint for the landlord.
The landlord gave him a week's grace, and if he could not pay the rent again, he would get out of the egg himself.
The only good news was getting a call from his supervisor asking him to go to an interview.
The day before the interview, Gardner took his son to paint the landlord.
The doorbell rang suddenly, and outside the door were policemen, who took Gardner away.
Because he didn't pay the fine for too long.
Even if you plead bitterly, you still have to be detained for a day.
What about the next day's interview?
Having just been released, too late to change his clothes, he rushed to the interview.
At the interview site of the top financial company, the interviewer was late.
The interviewer and the boss look very bad.
I saw the interviewer dressed casually and with paint on his body.
The supervisor's face was even more ugly, and he thought: "Give you the opportunity, you can't grasp it!" ”
Gardner shook hands with everyone and sat down to apologize.
He explained that he was late because he was detained and because he did not have money to pay the ticket.
The boss did not agree, and began to ask him various questions in a procedural manner, and seemed to have given up on him in his heart.
Gardner answered seriously, confidently and calmly.
He said: "A question, if I don't know, I will say I don't know, but I know how to find the answer, I will find it for you." ”
He will do his best for this job.
The last question is simply the ultimate must-kill.
The boss asked: "If a person comes to the interview without even wearing a shirt, and I recruit him, what will you think?" ”
This is simply incomprehensible, and no matter how you answer it, it is wrong.
Gardner, on the other hand, used his humor to solve this problem perfectly.
He said, "Then his pants must be handsome." ”
The boss laughed and was tactful and calm for the young man.
The interview passed, but the next problem was even greater.
Because for the next six months of the internship, there is no salary.
How to live?
Gardner didn't want to give up that opportunity.
Isn't it unpaid?
Spelled!
Because he didn't pay the rent, Gardner was kicked out by his landlord.
He took the kids to a cheap hotel.
The internship period began quickly.
Gardner, who has a low starting point, can only survive the competition by working harder than others.
The competition was brutal, 20 interns, only one of them could stay.
Not only to look at the usual performance, but also to see the final assessment.
Because he was black, Gardner was viciously harassed by a leader.
Often when he was working, he was asked by his leaders to do other things, such as making coffee and buying snacks.
It's hard to do telemarketing and I'm often scolded by others.
Gardner endured and continued to work hard, with the utmost enthusiasm, to treat the hard-won work.
The effort paid off, and a big customer agreed to meet Gardner.
However, he was limited to arriving within twenty minutes.
Gardner immediately rushed out.
But he was stopped by the leader and asked Gardner to help him park.
Gardner did not dare to rebel, parked the car, and then went to see the customer.
When he got to the agreed place, he was told that the big customer was gone.
When I came back, I found that the leader had a ticket posted on his car.
After all, this fine can only be paid by itself.
Over the weekend, Gardner took his son to a client's home to apologize.
The client invited him to a ball game.
Although the business was not negotiated, he knew many rich people.
His client resources were broadened at once.
Everything is going in a good direction.
However, God wasn't going to make him so smooth.
Because he had not paid the fine for a long time, the bank deducted all the money directly from his account.
He was bankrupt and couldn't afford even the cheapest hotel.
The last medical instrument in his hand was broken again.
His luggage was thrown out by the innkeeper.
Gardner took his son with him and didn't know where he was going.
Helpless, he took his son to the subway station and sat on a bench.
The son did not cry or make trouble, and accompanied him to suffer together.
Looking at the sensible son, Gardner accompanied him to start a game, and the father and son were both happy and happy.
The scene is warm and sad.
At night, the two had no place to sleep, and Gardner hid in the toilet with his son.
There was toilet paper on the floor, and my son fell asleep in his arms.
There was a knock at the door, and Gardner covered his son's ear and struggled to stretch his legs to block the door.
Looking at the well-behaved child in his arms, the strong man burst into tears.
With all his strength, he did not cry out loud, and sobbed silently.
Life, too hard!
It's dawn and life goes on.
During the day, he goes to work, and after work, he takes his children to social welfare organizations.
However, people only accept women and children.
They went to other homeless shelters.
In times of economic crisis, countless homeless people are waiting for relief.
In front of the home station shelter, there was a long line.
Seeing that it was about to reach himself, the social worker came out and said that there were only four positions.
At the moment of Gardner's distraction, a tramp cut straight in line and stood in front of him.
Took the place that belonged to him.
Gardner couldn't bear it anymore and tore up with the tramp.
The social worker told them both to go out, and neither of them could live in the shelter.
Gardner was furious, and he roared.
Someone stepped forward to identify homeless people for a position.
Gardner took the children to live in the shelter.
After putting the child to sleep, Gardner stayed up late to study and tried to fix medical equipment.
In the days that followed, Gardner went to work during the day and took his children to grab a bed after work.
If you can grab it, you will have a place to live, and if you can't grab it, you can only accommodate yourself in the toilet.
Soon, the final exam arrived.
Gardner's second rollover.
In the elevator, he met the first school bully to hand in his papers.
Xueba contemptuously said that the topic was too simple.
Gardner was noncommittal and said, "The final essay question is still quite difficult. ”
"What, and essay questions?" Xueba was stunned and hurriedly ran out of the elevator.
On the way to pick up his son, Gardner ran into the owner.
The boss asked him to borrow five dollars, and he hesitated.
Five dollars may not be much to someone else, but for him, it's too important.
After hesitating, he lent the money to the boss.
For the money, Gardner ran to the hospital to sell blood.
With the money from the sale of blood, I bought instrument parts.
At night, he stayed up late to repair medical equipment.
Suddenly, the lamp came on, and the faint light illuminated the shelter, as if it also illuminated his way forward and gave him hope.
Next, Gardner sold the medical equipment.
He was ecstatic, and his son, just smiling faintly, was painfully sensible.
With the money, he finally took his son to live in a hotel.
At night, the bed was empty, the father and son were snuggled up on the sofa, the TV was on, and both were asleep.
Fast forward to the last day, and the internship period is finally coming to an end.
Can he stay? Can it be the only one out of 20 people?
He couldn't guarantee it.
However, at least after working hard, fighting for my life, and surviving, there are no regrets.
On this day, the manager called him over.
He knew that the moment of fate had finally arrived.
He calmly put on his suit and went into the office.
Inside was the owner.
Gardner shook hands with the crowd, sat down, and said, "I think I should wear a shirt today, after all, it's the last day." ”
The owner said: "Thanks, this is good!" But tomorrow too, okay? Because, tomorrow is your first day of official entry. ”
The always talkative Gardner choked up, his eyes red, tears swirling in his eyes.
He held on to it, not letting the tears fall.
Just as he was leaving, the boss stopped him and exchanged the five dollars he had borrowed for him.
Gardner pretended to be calm and walked back to the work card slot to pack up his things.
But his hands were trembling, he couldn't hold anything at all, he couldn't deceive himself.
He was excited and trembling with excitement, and finally, "happiness" came knocking.
Stepping out of the company, letting the tears flow, he waved his hands and clapped vigorously.
Finally, father and son stroll through the bustling city.
Inadvertently, there was a passerby who walked past them.
He is the prototype of this story, the real-life Chris Gardner, through his own efforts, to change his life.
Now, he's a millionaire.
Heaven rewards hard work, pay will be rewarded, only hard work, will not be disappointed.
If you have worked hard and have not returned, don't worry, the reward is on the way.
It's late, but it won't be missed.
Keep working hard, and one day, happiness will come knocking on your door.
Encourage with the King!
I'll stop here today, and "When Happiness Comes Knocking" is over.
