Montgomery not only lacked maternal love when he was a child, but people around him didn't like him very much. Because he is always naughty, people around him often feel headache for him. In terms of study, his grade is always 36 in his class, but there are only 36 students in his class, and his conduct appraisal is always poorly written.
But Montgomery has one characteristic, that is, he likes being a soldier. His only dream is to go to Sandhurst, the famous British Royal Military Academy. However, in his conduct appraisal, the school wrote: No, the student is not sure to enter Sandhurst.
This is undoubtedly like a pot of cold water poured on him. Although Montgomery was unmoved by countless cold eyes, indifference and distrust, he persisted in taking the exam in that school. Since then, like a different person, he devoted himself to his study every day and made great progress. Finally, through hard work, he was finally admitted to this school.
Since then, Montgomery has devoted two thirds of his life to the army. 19 14, World War I broke out, and he began to emerge in World War I. At the beginning of World War II, the British army was defeated by the Germans and its morale was low. At this time, the British Empire was on the verge of collapse.
1942, Churchill transferred Montgomery to the eighth army. A few months later, the war situation quickly reversed. Rommel, the famous lonely desert, was driven out of the desert forever by Montgomery, who became the savior of the British Empire!
In the face of countless disapprobations and indifference in life, Montgomery can turn a deaf ear. He likes being a soldier and is keen on his military career, so he devoted most of his life to the army. He finally got the only career in his life and never wavered. He is such a person who puts all his energy and infinite enthusiasm into one thing.
In love, Montgomery is the same. Montgomery devoted himself to work in his early years. 39 years old, unmarried. Comrades often make fun of him, and the army is his lover.
At the age of 39, Montgomery met a woman who moved him. This woman is his future wife Betty. They hit it off at once and finally walked into the church smoothly.
Marshal Montgomery's adjutant said with emotion, "Only the most beautiful girl in the world is worthy of the general! How can a woman with a bad complexion fascinate him? " Even Betty herself didn't believe that the famous general would fall in love with her. She said, "If you feel sorry for me, please go away. I don't need sympathy. "
Marshal Montgomery gave her a solemn military salute, then pulled out his gun, pointed the gun at his head and said, "If I betray you, let me die under my own gun!" " "General Montgomery's commitment to personality is better than all sweet words and vows that the seas run dry and the rocks crumble.
As their communication became more and more serious, Montgomery became more and more unable to extricate himself, and finally got up the courage to confess to Betty, who happily accepted Marshal Montgomery's love.
1927 On July 27th, 40-year-old Marshal Montgomery married 39-year-old Betty.
After marriage, they had a son and lived a very sweet life. However, the good times did not last long. In June 1937 65438+1October19, their wives died of septicemia.
At Betty's funeral, General Montgomery did not cry, but gave a long military salute.
In fact, the death of his beloved wife was a heavy blow to Montgomery, leaving him in extreme pain. From then on, he transferred his love for his wife to his son and took good care of him. At the same time, he devoted his main energy to the study of war and devoted himself to the military cause.
After the war, he won everything with his immortal feats: honor, status, money and the admiration of the world. Of course, there are countless women's love. Countless women dream of leaning on his chest full of medals. Many people who care about him have introduced him to someone, but the egg tart is unmoved and politely refuses.
Even Prime Minister Churchill's wish to be an old man under his moon has failed. The Prime Minister advised him, "General Montgomery, the whole Britain doesn't want you to die alone." He said seriously: "As a soldier, I will always be loyal to my motherland. As a man, I will never betray love. " This time, the Prime Minister gave him a solemn military salute.
A few years later, when Montgomery recovered from the grief of losing his wife, someone whispered, "Montgomery will probably remarry." Montgomery said, "I don't believe that one can fall in love twice. Just as I love Betty, there will never be a second time. "
The grand marshal did this. Until the death of 1976, Montgomery never had a heart for any woman.
Years later, General Montgomery mentioned this only short-lived love in his autobiography. When talking about his wife's death, the general wrote: "Tears are not the only way to express love, but loyalty is the best proof of love. If you love one woman, you can't love another woman. Just like the gun in my hand, there can only be one sight! "
Since he started his military career, he has been doing what to eat, what to drink, when to exercise and when to sleep every day, even in tense war years. When sleeping, he must lie in bed and sleep, and no one bothers him.
Montgomery loves two things in his life, one is his military career, and the other is his wife. Because he likes being a soldier, he devoted two thirds of his life to the army. Because he loved his wife deeply, he gave her all his love.
Some people may have changed girlfriends and been married several times, but when his life comes to an end, can he still find out who his true love has been given to, or has freedom experienced true love in his short life?
Loyal because of true love. Marshal explained this wisdom for us with his brilliant career and out-of-print love. Perhaps impetuous, perhaps troubled, perhaps you are still struggling to pursue.
However, no matter how the external environment changes, you have to question yourself from time to time, whether you have made all your efforts, whether you have violated your own path, whether you have betrayed your original intention, and whether you have deviated from your most authentic value choice.
Stick to our original wishes and remember our mission. Perhaps the happiest person is the one who keeps forging ahead for everything he loves.
