A boy, 1952, was born in the "Hell's Kitchen" area of new york and grew up here. This area is located in the west of Manhattan, where the blue-collar workers live. When children here grow up, they often can only become policemen, construction workers or dock stevedores, or criminals. However, this area is not far from Broadway. Since childhood, the boy has been eager to get on the big stage and become an actor. However, for a child who grew up in a slum, it is tantamount to nonsense. He can only bury this "unrealistic" ideal deeply in his heart. /kloc-When he started acting classes at the age of 0/7, he didn't tell anyone, even his girlfriend kept her mouth shut.
However, the boy worked hard and insisted silently. In the 1970s, he earned 2000 dollars by acting. For his own wish, he moved to Hollywood and made a living by driving a taxi and working as a bartender in a bar. His father advised him: stop dreaming and find a formal job. Don't forget that you already have a wife and daughter. However, he still insists on his choice.

But he believes that this script can bring people more vigilance and reflection. So he continued to search and even sold his house to raise money. Finally, he finally found an independent studio and was willing to give it a try. During this period, funds were extremely limited, and he had to pay a salary cut to support himself.
In May 2005, a play called Crash (also translated as Shock Effect) began to be staged in the theater and was a great success.

Examples of celebrities persisting in success Part II: Insist on one sentence.
Wooden, a household name in the United States and known as the legendary coach, won the 10 national championship for UCLA in the 12 national basketball championship. Such brilliant achievements made Wood one of the most competent basketball coaches in history.
A reporter once asked him, "Coach Wooden, how do you keep this positive attitude?"
Wooden replied happily: "Before going to bed every day, I will cheer myself up and tell myself that I did well today and I will do better tomorrow."
"Is there only such a short sentence?" The reporter can't believe it.
Wu Deng firmly replied: "A short sentence? I have insisted on this sentence for 20 years! The important thing is that it has nothing to do with simplicity. The key is whether you stick to it or not. If you can't persevere, even a long speech will not help. "
Wooden's positive attitude is extraordinary, not only for basketball, but also for other details of life. Once, he and his friends drove to the city center. Faced with the heavy traffic, his friends were dissatisfied, and then they often complained. Wu Dengxin said happily: "This is really a lively city."
A positive attitude can make people progress and stimulate their potential strength.
Examples of celebrities persisting in success Article 3: Persistence is success.
She was born in a poor peasant family and dropped out of school at the age of twelve when she was in the fifth grade. Because she has always loved literature, whenever she is free, she finds out the books in her father's old box and greedily reads them in her hand.
When she was sixteen, her sister decided to go out to work to make a living. That day, she watched her sister's thin body carrying a bag heavier than her, struggling out of the field path, and a sadness came to her heart. If it weren't for the poor family, a few acres of barren land could not make a living at all, and my sister didn't have to go out to suffer. She secretly blamed herself for being useless and unable to share any burden for her family.
One day, after reading the last book in the box, she suddenly had an idea: why don't you just read other people's books and write them yourself? Maybe writing it can change your destiny. From that day on, she picked up a pen.
How incredible it is for a little girl with only five and a half years of primary education to write a book. Some people say that she has overreached herself, others say that she will not get any results after writing for ten years, and her family also opposes it in every way. Faced with all kinds of pressures, she chose to persist.
Because of the poor cultural foundation, I encountered many difficulties when I wrote it. If there are words that she can't write or words that she doesn't understand, she will look them up in the dictionary. She turned over a Xinhua dictionary that had been used for several generations.
People in the mountains do a lot of farm work. She always spends her spare time writing on the broken sewing machine in front of the window. Manuscripts are written in piles, and neatly bound manuscripts are more than a foot thick. Because there is no computer, every time she writes a novel, she has to revise and copy it many times. A novel with 300,000 words should be copied at least 1 10,000 words.
Her parents were moved by her persistent spirit, from opposition to full support.
After three years of hard work, she finally finished her first martial arts novel. She tried to contribute to the publishing house, but due to the shrinking martial arts market, this work, which took countless efforts to complete, was finally buried.
When my sister heard about it, she advised her to write a small draft. So, she tried to send a love story to the magazine, and after half a month, the manuscript was returned. The reason is: it doesn't conform to the magazine style.
Her parents were short of money and had no extra money to provide her with paper and pens, so she secretly went to the garbage dump to pick up waste, bought the cheapest toilet paper, cut it into pieces with a knife and bound it into volumes. In summer, there was no electric fan at home, and she was bitten by mosquitoes. There is no heater in winter, and my hands are as cold as buns. Once, when she was cutting paper, she was accidentally cut by a knife and shed a lot of blood &; hellip& amphellip
In the past five years, she has created seven novels with more than two million words with tenacious self-study and unimaginable perseverance. However, due to the occlusion of rural information, the manuscript written has never found the husband's family. After years of painstaking efforts, she still got nothing. Everyone in the village laughed at her daydreaming, and some even advised her to talk about marrying friends earlier.
However, she is not willing to be a "second-class" person waiting to die. She wants to do something valuable. She believes that although writing a book has not achieved any benefits, at least doing what she likes is also a kind of enjoyment.
In the face of others' cynicism, she was sad and desperate, but after so many years of hard work, she must not give up easily.
Numerous failed submissions made her aware of the backwardness of handwritten manuscripts. So, she entered a cheaper computer college in Wuhan to learn typing.
She applied for the intermediate computer class. There are dozens of students in the class, most of whom have attended technical secondary schools or universities. She is the only pupil. So there is a big gap between her and others in her study. At first, she didn't even know twenty-six English letters. After several sleepless nights, she memorized the letters and roots. A month later, the computer teacher announced the learning situation of the whole class. Others type more than 40 words per minute, but she can only type 15 words per minute. She realized that it was time for her to work hard and not waste limited time and her parents' hard-earned money. From that day on, she worked very hard Every day when I get on the computer, my hands fly on the keyboard. When she is tired, she doesn't rest. She sat with a sore back and didn't get up to exercise. At night, when she had a rest, she also made a cardboard box look like a keyboard, drew keys on it and kept practicing with her hands. On graduation day, she won the appreciation of the whole class and computer teachers at the rate of 1 17 words per minute, and left school with honor.
She wants to work hard for a few years and then buy a computer to re-create. However, it was suddenly written at home that her father's leg was injured and needed to be taken care of, and she was asked to go back to her hometown and continue to write with a pen. Although the road to writing is poor and hard, she is determined to win.
God helps those who help him. A year later, she received a manuscript edited by a publishing house and wanted to cast a work reflecting the lives of migrant workers. Two months later, she finally received the good news that the book was approved and published.
After the book was published, it attracted attention from all walks of life. People praised her as a "model of changing fate" and said that her spirit is worth learning. The district chief also personally sent a computer to encourage her to continue her creation. Now, she has walked out of the countryside through her own efforts and found a good job in a big city.
This person is Chen Jiayi, a peasant woman writer in Ezhou. The reason why she can realize her dream is because she insists on going her own way and takes the blows of others as the driving force of creation. Her perseverance is commendable. If she gave up when she was in trouble before, she would be mediocre in her life and never taste the sweet fruit. Therefore, no matter what you do, you can't give up halfway. Only persistence can succeed!
Examples of celebrities' persistence in success Part IV
Copernicus's main contribution is to establish a scientific Heliocentrism, and to write the Declaration of Independence of Natural Science and the Theory of Celestial Movement. 1535, Copernicus completed the six-volume scientific masterpiece "On the Operation of Celestial Bodies" in "49". Heliocentrism, the theory of the structure of the sun, is put forward completely: the sun is stationary in the center of the universe, while the planets including the earth revolve around it. Mercury is closest to the sun, followed by Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Only the moon goes around the earth. The star is still on the celestial sphere far from the sun.
Copernicus gave the sun the dominant power to control the whole universe, and all celestial bodies had their own natural movements. Heliocentrism of Copernicus scientifically expounded the viewpoint of celestial movement, overthrew the geocentric theory of ptolemaic system, who ruled for more than a thousand years, and fundamentally denied the fallacy that God created everything and the earth was motionless.
Copernicus was afraid of being ruled by the church and being opposed and persecuted, so he was unwilling to publish the theory of celestial bodies. 1543 On May 24th, Copernicus saw the newly published sample book "On the Operation of Celestial Bodies" on his deathbed.
Although Copernicus's "sun-centered theory" was vilified and attacked by religious forces and conservatives in the society after its publication, even those who believed in propagating this theory were brutally suppressed and persecuted, but Copernicus's theory still won the final victory. Copernicus and his theory of celestial bodies, like twinkling superstars in the dark night sky, shine forever.
Examples of celebrities' persistence in success Chapter 5
Bao Yugang started from an old ship, became the world super ship king with 200 giant ships and 20 million tons in 20 years, and then entered real estate, finance and other industries. Its shipping wealth alone reached11500 million Hong Kong dollars. Gibson Shipping Brokerage Company ranks among the top ten shipping kings in the world with 1977, and Bao Yugang ranks first, thus ranking first in the world.
Bao Yugang dug up the first bucket of gold in the blue ocean. This bucket of gold has been dug very hard, which also shows Bao Yugang's superb skills as the world's super ship king. After he had this wonderful bucket of gold, the "Battle of the Dock" was even more amazing.
Reduction of training years
19 18, Bao Yugang was born in Bao Zhong Village, Zhenhai County, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. Bao Yugang, he is also the 29th grandson of Bao Zheng, the father of China people. The Bao family used to be a scholar and an official, but when his great-grandfather Bao Kuizhi failed repeatedly, he embarked on the road of business that Ningbo people were used to and accumulated a lot of money.
Bao Yugang's father, Bao Zhaolong, inherited his ancestral business, opened a shoe store in Hankou, Hubei Province, and lived in Wuhan all the year round. Later, the Bao Yugang family moved to Hongkong.
From 65438 to 0926, when she was 8 years old, she entered Ye's Zhongguang Primary School, which is the most famous primary school in Ningbo. Every time my father comes home, he will tell something about Wuhan vividly. For a long time, Wuhan, an important town during the Revolution of 1911, and Jiang Hancheng, the residence of the National Government, aroused Bao Yugang's warm yearning. /kloc-When he was 0/0 years old, he discussed with his mother that he could go to Hankou to study and see the world.
Bao Zhaolong wanted his son to study for a few more years, so he sent Bao Yugang to a middle school. When he graduated from junior high school in Bao Yugang, Bao Zhaolong got his son a job as an apprentice in a swallow comb factory. Yan is an institution similar to the current insurance company. The father is bent on bringing his son into the business world as soon as possible.
However, Bao Yugang's ideal at that time was to study, and he had no heart to do business. Bao Yugang is still working part-time, but before he knocked on the door of the university, his mother chose a local girl named Huang Xiuying for him at home. 1937 During the spring and summer, she chose a good day to let Bao Yugang go home and get married.
When Bao Yugang and his wife got married, it was the time when the Japanese launched a full-scale war of aggression against China. During the war, Bao Yugang found a job in the Central Trust Bureau and soon became one of the business backbones.
Bao Yugang has worked in Shanghai, Hengyang, Kunming and Chongqing for 8 years.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Bao Yugang was appointed as the manager of Shanghai Banking Department and came to Shanghai from Chongqing.
From 65438 to 0946, Bao Yugang was promoted to deputy general manager, in charge of the loan department. The loan department is called the sewer of the bank and is the most important part of the banking business. Giving this department to a 28-year-old young man can show that his superiors appreciate him very much.
Regrettably, at this time, the finance of Shanghai and even the whole Kuomintang-controlled area has been blind. Inflation and the devaluation of paper money are getting worse every day.
"When you go to the noodle restaurant to eat noodles, you have to pay first, otherwise the price of noodles will double." Some people in Shanghai describe it.
1948, Bao Yugang was fed up with the chaos of the crumbling Kuomintang regime. He resigned resolutely and flew to Hong Kong with his family on March 1949.
After Bao Yugang and his family arrived in Hongkong, they were reunited with their parents, brothers and sisters who had arrived earlier. With the wealth of several hundred thousand yuan sold by my father before he went to Hong Kong, I started a trade business. Trade projects mainly use the Korean War to transport some strategic materials to the mainland.
However, with the signing of the Korean armistice agreement in 1953, the father and son are facing new choices in their careers. what are you going to do? My father advocated real estate, because Bao Zhaolong saw that from 1949 to 1952, the population of Hong Kong soared1500,000, and the housing problem was quite prominent. Scenes of several people sleeping in a bed in a family can be seen everywhere, and real estate will definitely make money.
Set foot in shipping industry
Bao Yugang especially wants to join the shipping industry, because he sees from a global perspective that after World War II, the world economy is recovering, and the trade between countries and regions is increasing, and the trade mainly depends on shipping, so the shipping industry will definitely develop greatly. Hong Kong has natural deep-water berths and wharves, and its superior geographical position and preferential conditions for free trade attract ships from all over the world.
With 70 square miles of ports and an annual throughput of 30 million tons, Hong Kong has become one of the busiest ports in the world. Bao Yugang finally saw the opportunity in front of him and started his sailing career.
Bao Yugang's decision aroused opposition. His friends advised him that although shipping can make a lot of money, as the ancients said, water can carry a boat and also overturn it. The sea is unpredictable and extremely dangerous. Many people have been boating for decades, but in the end they end up bankrupt.
"There is an old saying in China, don't do it if you are not familiar with it. What do you know about shipping? How much money do you have to buy a boat for 10 million? " Father stopped him and said.
Of course, not everyone disapproves of shipping in Bao Yugang. Bao Yugang teenager Zheng Weixian's friends understand and support him very much. When Zheng Weixian heard Bao Yugang's idea of joining the shipping industry, he immediately realized that it was a strategic step. He encouraged Bao Yugang to say, "The fundamental difference between an outstanding entrepreneur and a gambler is that he studies hard, is good at thinking, can assess the situation and seize fleeting opportunities at any time."
"Although you haven't been engaged in shipping, you have many advantages that others don't. You have worked in several banks for quite a long time and have rich experience in fund allocation. Even people who engage in shipping may not be as good as you; You have been engaged in import and export trade in recent years. You are familiar with the markets all over the world. You have experienced the ups and downs in the shopping mall. These are all valuable assets for you to switch to shipping. As long as you give play to your advantages, you will succeed. " He said to Bao Yugang.
Bao Yugang was greatly encouraged by his friend's words. However, how can an ocean-going freighter afford millions of pounds? Even an old ship costs hundreds of thousands of pounds, equivalent to millions of Hong Kong dollars! Bao Yugang wants to borrow money from the bank, but he doesn't have any assets as collateral, let alone a rich man to guarantee him. In desperation, he thought of George of Huidefeng Bank, who had business dealings in the past. Drive crazy
Madden met Bao Yugang in his luxurious office and listened in on Bao Yugang's moving plan to develop shipping.
Madden said, "Young man, shipping is a dangerous industry. If you do it wrong, you will lose the last shirt. "
"Mr. Madden, I have analyzed it with you, and I am sure of success." Bao Yugang said confidently.
"But the shipping industry has invested a lot of money. Do you have enough money? " Madden sounds rather contemptuous.
Bao Yugang felt particularly uncomfortable when he heard this, but he restrained himself and said calmly, "Mr. Madden, maybe I can't afford an old boat today, but that doesn't mean I can't afford a new one in the future."
Bao Yugang threw these two sentences at each other, which made Madden dumbfounded. The British boss habitually turns his pen. He is particularly concerned about Bao Yugang.
"Since you are so interested and confident in shipping, I will sell Lord Granston to you. This ship was built during the Second World War. Adopt high-quality steel plate, welding is firm, light and fast. Price? 400,000 pounds If you want to buy it, I can provide you with a 70% loan. " Madden said to Bao Yugang.
Shortly after Bao Yugang returned to Hong Kong, he learned from the ship brokerage company that the British Williamson Company wanted to sell an old ship for 220,000 pounds. He believes that 220,000 pounds is the price offered by the brokerage company, which includes the brokerage fee. It will be cheaper if you buy it directly from Williamson company.
Bao Yugang doesn't want to borrow any more money this time. He persuaded his father to give everything he had and lobbied his relatives and friends for help. He raised 0.2 million/200 thousand pounds in various ways and then went to London.
Williamson Company agreed to sell the 28-year-old merchant ship "Ai Aina" to Bao Yugang for 200,000 pounds. After Bao Yugang asked Williamson Company to overhaul the ship, he hired someone to paint the appearance of the ship with a particularly striking new color. People who don't know the details mistakenly think that it is a new ship that has just been launched, and the Aina has also been changed to the Jinan.
When "Jin 'an" set sail from Britain to Hongkong and crossed the Indian Ocean, Bao Yugang, which had been strategizing, had already done two things. First, the establishment of "Global Shipping Group Co., Ltd."; The second is to negotiate with a Japanese shipping company to sublet the Jinan to this company to transport coal from India to Japan.
Facing the morning sun, Jinan sailed eastward through the waves. Bao Yugang stood on the bow deck, full of joy and dignity. His first ship braked the waves in the Pacific Ocean.
At dawn, Bao Yugang's ship sailed into the bay against the rising sun. The family members who had been waiting on the shore gave a cheer. Bao Yugang took everyone on a boat tour, and four daughters ran around the boat like birds, twittering and asking questions.
Bao Yugang won, and the first battle went very smoothly. In the next few years, he bought a lot in the second-hand market, and more than 40 ships were bought in this way. Investment in shipbuilding started at 196 1, and his first new ship left the dock at 1963+ 1.
The name of the company operating these ships is "Global Shipbuilding Group Company", which reflects its global activities.
Baozorodin
1975, Bao Yugang ascended the throne of the world shipping king, and his global group owned 84 oil tankers and dry cargo ships, and won the title of "onassis of the East".
"Mr. Bao, as a person born in China, you have made outstanding achievements in the international shipping and financial circles. What do you think? " A Hong Kong reporter asked him.
"We in China are famous for our hard work, honesty and kindness. As a native of China, I encountered more difficulties in starting a business abroad than people of other nationalities, and I often met with distrust and supercilious look. If you want to make outstanding achievements, you can only rely on your own efforts, overcome difficulties with your own diligence and win the trust of others with your own honesty. It is unrealistic to rely on foreign governments to give you financial assistance or subsidies. Once your career goes well, don't be conceited; When things are not going well in your career, you will never grovel. People should always maintain their dignity and confidence. " Bao Yugang smiled and answered meaningfully.
/kloc-in the summer of 0/979, a "dock blitzkrieg" shocked the world. The ship king flew from Paris to London, and then rushed to Hong Kong from London to plan and lobby all parties. I also had a secret talk with Li Ka-shing to raise money from the bosses of various companies. He has been busy all night, but he is not tired. After raising HK$ 265.438 billion, he held a press conference in Hong Kong with a red face. By making a comeback, he killed Jardine Matheson and finally abandoned Wharf.
From 65438 to 0980, the fleet of Bao Yugang Global Shipping Group has grown to more than 200 ships, becoming the king of the world's largest tonnage. In addition to its agency in Hong Kong, Global Shipping Group has set up 20 subsidiaries or agencies in Bermuda, Tokyo, London, new york, Rio de Janeiro and Singapore, and its ships are registered in Liberia, Panama, Britain or Hong Kong.
1Feb. 985, Wang Yiju acquired Huidefeng.
1986 In the early spring, Ship King spent HK$ 200 million to acquire a 30% stake in Dragonair, became the chairman of Dragonair Limited, and opened a route from Hong Kong to Hangzhou. 1In August, 986, Ship Wang Ji bought shares of British Standard Sladin Company with huge sum of money, which forced Rice Bank's plan to buy Sladin to be dashed.
When Bao Yugang was nearly 70 years old, he was still alert, upright, ruddy, resilient, energetic, quick-thinking and resolute. This is the youthful vitality given to him by sports. This youthful vitality has brought him prosperity in his career.
1991On September 23rd, Bao Yugang died at home at the age of 73.
Bao Yugang likes calligraphy very much. When practicing calligraphy, he often wrote this poem by Li Bai: "One day, I will ride the wind and waves, and set my cloudy sail straight and bridge the deep, deep sea." This poem was Bao Yugang's ambition when he was young and his achievement when he was old. Bao Yugang's persistent spirit helped him create a brilliant career in his life.
