Once, the home of former American President Roosevelt was stolen and many things were lost. When a friend heard the news, he wrote to comfort him and advised him not to care too much.
Roosevelt wrote back to his friend: "Dear friend, thank you for comforting me. I'm safe now, thanks for my life.
Because, first of all, the thief stole my things and didn't hurt my life; Second, the thief only stole some of my things, not all of them; Third, most thankfully, the thief was him, not me. "
2. Play cards in the best way
Roosevelt was the 32nd president of the United States, one of the founders of the United Nations, and the only president of the United States who was re-elected for four terms.
When Roosevelt was a teenager, he liked playing bridge very much. Anyone who knows about bridge will know that playing bridge is a kind of entertainment, but when you really play it, you will find that bridge is a game with life wisdom.
Once, Roosevelt was playing bridge again. When his father finished his work, he watched the game beside his son. He noticed that his son had caught a bad hand, and how to play such a card would lose!
However, Roosevelt Jr. is still assembling his own cards. He counted back and forth. His serious appearance will make his father anxious. His father thought, "What is such a broken card?" Just wait to lose! "
Later, the father asked his son, "What do you think when your hand is not good?"
Roosevelt thought for a moment and replied, "Although the cards are not good, if you plan carefully and play them in the best way, you will play the greatest role!" " "
Dad listened to his son and admired him very much. He feels that although he has worked hard in the shopping mall for many years, he is not as sensible as his son.
Roosevelt Jr. used bridge to show his philosophy of life. Even if he encounters unsatisfactory things, he will carefully plan and strive for the greatest success, which also reflects his spirit of never giving up.
Roosevelt kept a secret.
One day, when Roosevelt Ren Haijun was assistant minister, a good friend visited. During the conversation, my friend asked about the establishment of a naval base on an island in the Caribbean.
"I just want you to tell me," said his friend, "if the rumors I heard about the base are true."
What this friend wanted to inquire about was not convenient to make public at that time, but since his good friend asked, how could he refuse?
I saw Roosevelt look around and then asked his friend in a low voice, "Can you keep things that are inconvenient to spread secret?"
"yes." The friend answered eagerly.
"Well," Roosevelt said with a smile, "so can I."
4, Roosevelt in the face of shame:
Former US President Roosevelt suffered from polio in middle age. At this time, he has become a senator and is hot in politics. He was almost disheartened by this and retired from his hometown.
One day, he told his family that he had invented a way to climb stairs and wanted to show it to everyone.
It turned out that he first propped up his body with the strength of his arms, moved to the steps, and then dragged his legs to climb up, so he climbed the stairs slowly and difficultly.
His mother stopped him and said, "How ugly it is for others to see you dragging around on the ground like this!" "
Roosevelt said flatly, "I must face my shame!" " "
5. A tree growing in love
When Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States, was young, his legs were lame because of illness, and his teeth were uneven and protruding. He almost thinks he is the most unfortunate child in the world, so he seldom plays games with his classmates. When the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always kept his head down and said nothing.
In an ordinary spring, Roosevelt's father begged some saplings from his neighbor's house. He wanted to plant saplings in front of the house. He told his children to plant one each. Father told the children that whoever planted the best sapling would buy a favorite gift. Roosevelt also wanted to get a gift from his father, but when he saw his brother and sister jumping around to fetch water to water the trees, he suddenly had a cold idea: he hoped that the trees he planted would die early. So after watering it once or twice, I never paid attention to it again.
A few days later, when Roosevelt went to see the tree he planted again, he was surprised to find that it not only did not wither, but also grew a few new leaves, which looked greener and more alive than the trees planted by his brothers and sisters. Father fulfilled his promise, bought him his favorite gift, and told him that judging from the trees he planted, he would be an excellent botanist when he grew up.
Since then, Roosevelt has gradually become optimistic.
One night, Roosevelt was lying in bed, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, and suddenly remembered what the biology teacher had said: Plants usually grow at night, so why not go and see the little tree he planted? When he came to the yard softly, he saw his father throwing something under the tree he planted with a spoon. Suddenly, he understood everything. It turns out that his father has been secretly fertilizing the young trees he planted! He went back to his room and let the tears flow freely. . . . . .
Since then, Roosevelt has become more optimistic. No matter what he does, he always does it with a positive attitude.
