1. Andrew Carnegie

(1)他在十三岁的时候和全家人怀着对美国的向往,来到了纽约港,后又辗转到了匹兹堡。在那时他就已经开始了白天工作,晚上上学的生活,日积月累的锻炼为他今后的成功打下了坚实的基础。

(2)在南北战争结束后,本可以继续就职于宾夕法尼亚铁路公司的他(他当时已经做到了主管的位置,但是在他长期的工作经验中他创造性的认识到了钢铁桥梁——当时基本都是木桥——将会有很大的发展。)敏锐的看到了钢铁行业不可限量的前景,于是辞职而自立门户,最终成就一番事业。

(3)在19世纪末20世纪初的时候,卡耐基钢铁公司已经成为世界上最大的钢铁公司,公司的年产量甚至超过了英国整个国家,这种势头保持了数十年,他也被称为钢铁大王。这种个人能够几乎控制整个行业的事情似乎在现代竞争越来越激烈的社会中不再可能发生了,如果卡耐基晚出生一个世纪,他所取得的成就应该不会这么大。

(4)在他获得了巨大的财富之后,他发现自己并没有想象中的那么快乐,于是他开始思考除了金钱之外人生的其它的意义,于是他开始了他生涯最后二十年的慈善事业,人们为他的慷慨震惊,因此他也更深的明白了生存的意义。

3. Andrew Jackson

安德鲁·杰克逊是美国第七任总统。首任佛罗里达州州长、新奥尔良之役战争英雄、民主党创建者之一,杰克逊式民主因他而得名。在美国政治史上,1820年代与1830年代的第二党体系(Second Party System)以他为极端的象征。他在政治生涯中引入“分赃制度”( Spoils system),下令所有的公有土地都只能用金银购买,抵制中央银行,并下令迁移印第安人——也就是著名的西进运动(血泪之路),他的这些举措都是可以为我们现在政府作出决策提供积极的启示的。

(2)媒体的强大在他的一句话中一显无疑:在未来,每人都可以当15分钟的名人。

(2)他在麻省理工学院读经济学的时候就展现出了对于美国30年代大萧条极大的兴趣,凭着过人的才学和对经济学的热情,他从那次大萧条中得到了许多启发。

(3)在离开学术界进入美联储以来的近三年里,伯南克更多的仍然是表现出了自己的学者风范,而不像是一个体制内的政治决策者。凭借着自己脑子里的诸多新想法,他很快就为自己赢得了“个人创意工厂”的称号。他的自由思想方式在那些早就习惯了美联储高度谨慎行事风格的银行家和投资者中很受欢迎。

BBDO广告公司的缔造者,著名广告人。巴顿主张用精确的语言,把积极的人性因素灌输到产品和公司中去,这种理念使他成为广告界的一匹黑马。他的首次创意就曾引起了轩然大波。当时,科利尔

(Collier)出版的《哈佛经典》一书,虽然全面收入了诸如《埃涅伊德》以及英美诗歌等50部重要的历史文学和哲学作品,销量却很不理想。后来,巴顿为该书写了这样一则广告:“此书将为你讲述玛丽·安东尼特(法国国王路易十六的妻子)的死亡之旅。”它使读者意识到了阅读文学经典的价值,扭转了乾坤,带来了400 000册的销量。

8. Clara Barton

(1)她是美国红十字会第一任主席,她为人道主义事业做出了杰出的贡献,被称为“战场天使”,从她的经历中我们可以看出,一个人生活的意义绝不仅仅是金钱,除了金钱,人们应该有更多更崇高的目标。(2)从她的经历中我们可以看出,她一生致力于人道主义事业,帮助了很多很多人,因此只有懂得为别人带去快乐的人,自己才能快乐。

(3)她在投身人道主义事业之前曾经是一名小学教师,如果她愿意,她可以继续做下去,但是她并没有做出这样的选择,她后来创立了一所学校,并在华盛顿专利局工作了一段时间之后辞去公职,正式投入到她所热心的人道主义事业中。

有时候对于生活是不是会更有意义?如果他甘于沉寂,那么青史留名与他也没什么关系了。

16. Herbert Hoover

胡佛倡导的效率运动(Efficiency Movement,认为政府中充满了效率低下和浪费的问题)没有能使美国从大萧条中走出来,这不仅是他在连任选举中输给了罗斯福,而且让他在美国总统中的排名接近垫底。我们现代人,尤其是美国总统,应该可以从胡佛的经历中吸取很多经验教训。

We, especially the present US president, can more or less draw much experience from him.)

他是一位穷其一生(长达47年)在美国许多州推广种植苹果树的先锋园丁,曾经梦想创造一个人人衣食无忧的国度,他在还活着的时候就已经成为了一部传奇,他的事迹也被改编成了小说和电影。我们在审视像这样的传奇人物的时候,是不是应该以一种更加冷静而客观的态度?毕竟,这样的传奇中总有或多或少的虚构的色彩。

(Johnny Appleseed was a pioneer nurseryman and was well known by introducing apple trees to larges

of some states in America his whole life long. He ever dreamed of founding a country where nobody would worry about food and clothing. So many accomplishments had he made that he had became a legend even when he is alive and his achievements had been adapted for many novels and movies. Do we need to be cooler and more objective when we try to know a legendary figure as him? More or less fictionalized plots, after all, are invariably related to such a legend.)

他是美国著名作家,以《麦田里的守望者》成名,该书是20世纪美国文学的绝对经典,从一个年轻人的视角展示了成人世界的虚伪和肮脏以及青少年的善良纯真和荒诞不经,现实与理想的冲突,这与之前的美国小说都是有着很大区别的,可以说,该书在一定程度上改变了美国人的价值观,让他们对幸福该如何定义提出了疑问。

他是美国著名的小说家,据传说他的代表作《在路上》是他仅仅花了三周时间就写成的,我丝毫不怀疑这样一位优秀作家的能力,但是显然让我相信如此优秀的一部小说在这么短的时间内完成是很难的。所以我们不禁要怀疑人们不知为了什么而营造的“三周”的传奇了,看吧,即使是这样著名的小说也会被各种不真实的信息所围绕。

美国政治家、共和党党员(republican)、资深参议员(senator),从美国海军院校(U.S. Naval Academy)毕业后开始军旅生涯,在越南战争中经历了五年战俘(prisoner of war)生活。2000年,他参与了共和党总统候选人的竞争(ran for the Republican presidential nomination),但输给了布什,在2010年的总统大选(general election)中,他败给了民主党总统候选人奥巴马(Democratic candidate Barack Obama)。尽管大致上遵循“保守方针”(conservative principles)但在某些问题上他仍表现出与所在党派相左的观点,因而在媒体上常以“标新立异者”(had a media reputation as a "maverick”)的形象出现。当人们在思考为什么奥巴马能够当上总统的时候,总不会忘记研究一下失败者,也就是麦凯恩,他为什么会失败?

她是美国第一位女众议院议员,也是第一位女国会议员(the first woman to be elected to the United States House of Representatives and the first female member of the Congress),有时被称为“国会夫人”(referred to as the "Lady of the House")。身为终生和平主义者(pacifist),她投票反对美国加入第一次、第二次世界大战。特别是第二次世界大战的时候,在所有人都投票支持参战并劝说她也同样如此的时候,她作为一个坚决的反战者,依旧投下了唯一的一张反对票。

27. John Scopes

他是美国著名的“猿猴诉讼案”的主角,因为在20世纪20年代初,美国掀起了一场反进化论运动,尤其是田纳西州竟以法律明确禁止该州的一切教师在任何学校讲授进化论,但是John Scopes不顾当时的政治背景,依然在课堂上向学生们讲授进化论,这一举动导致了他被指控。有时候我们可以想想,老师是不是不应该把自己的政治和社会观点带入课堂,因为这样有时候会给他们带来不必要的麻烦。至于老师和同学到底谁对我们的影响大,我想也是没什么好争论的,毕竟,同学可不会在法律明令禁止的情况下还疯狂的告诉你“咱们是从猴子变过来的”。

莱斯·布朗出生在迈阿密附近的一个贫困家庭里,由于莱斯好动,而且喜欢不停地说话,因此他被送进当地小学中一个专门为学习有障碍的学生开设的特教班,直到高中毕业。毕业后,他成为一名环卫工人。但是,他却有一个梦想——成为一名电台的音乐节目主持人。每天晚上,他都抱着收音机专心致志地收听电台的主持人谈爵士乐。在他那间狭小的房间里,他按照自己的想象创建了一个假想的电台。他用一把梳子当作麦克风,喋喋不休地向想象中的听众介绍唱片。终于有一天,莱斯鼓足勇气来到本地的电台。当然,这个头戴草帽、衣衫不整的年轻人被拒绝了。但在接下来的那个星期里,莱斯每天都去找台长。最后,为了让莱斯知难而退,台长同意雇用他打杂,但没薪水。莱斯的工作是为那些不能离开播音室的播音员取咖啡或买早餐、晚餐。在电台里,无论人们让他做什么,莱斯都会愉快地接受——甚至做得更多。干完自己该干的事情后,莱斯就全神贯注地观察播音员的一举一动。晚上,回到自己的卧室,他就认真进行练习,为他确信一定会到来的机遇而努力。一个星期六的下午,莱斯照例来到播音室门外。那位叫罗克的电台主持人来接班了,他要主持长达4个小时的综艺广告节目。罗克从莱斯身边走过去的时候,莱斯感觉到他的脚步跌跌撞撞的,而且满嘴酒气,莱斯不由得心中暗想:也许这家伙坚持不到播音完毕就烂醉如泥了。不久,罗克说话果然语无伦次起来。正在这时,电话铃骤然响起,莱斯拿起话筒。电话是电台台长打来的,台长着急地说:莱斯,我看罗克出了问题,你能打电话通知其他播音员,让他们代替罗克吗?好的,先生,我一定会办好的。莱斯放下电话,箭一样冲进直播室,迅速把罗克移到一边,坐在了他企盼已久的旋转工作台边,激动而自信地说,各位听众,大家好!我是莱斯·布朗,您忠实的音乐使者,我年轻而富有朝气,喜欢和大家一起倾听音乐,品味生活,我保证带给你们一档丰富多彩的节目,让你们开心、满意……这次节目大获成功。现在,莱斯·布朗已经成为美国最著名的音乐节目主持人之一了。

我从他的经历中认识到他成功的三个因素:坚持不懈——他为能有机会主持节目等待了很长时间;有充足的准备——他在音乐及节目主持方面所花的时间和精力是他人难以想象的;善于抓住机遇——他能出现在最需要他出现的时间和地方,除了前两点因素,和他善于抓住机遇也是分不开的。

一件事只要你坚持做下去,总会成功。

他完全可以在他的学术生涯中继续下去,但是他却选择了一条更具挑战新的道路,当然,在这样有挑战性的事业中取得成功,也令他非常自豪。

I know."Obviously, how could he, one of the greatest basketball players throughout the history of mankind who was once deemed not appropriate for playing basketball, have achieved unprecedented success in NBA without diligence ? 科比.布莱恩特是一个证明勤奋是如何起作用的很好的例子。当被他的一个好朋友问到他成功的秘诀的时候,他幽默而又意义深远地回答到:"你知道洛杉矶凌晨四点的样子吗?我知道。"很明显,这位曾经被认为不太适合打篮球的、人类历史上最伟大的篮球运动员之一的科比,如果没有勤奋的话,怎么可能在美职篮获得史无前例的成功呢? Steve Jobs(key words:innovation/dream/insist/science and technology/success) For another, many of today's business success or miracle can be ascribed to innovation. Take Steve Jobs (Lei Jun)as a case in point, as a member of the mighty ocean of electronic products, if he had not invented innovative devices such as Ipad and Iphone(millet mobile phone),he could not have achieved great success in the global(indian) market and even changed the way human communicate, recreate and live. 另外,很多当今世界的商业成功和奇迹都可以归因于创新,以史蒂夫.乔布斯为例,作为浩瀚的电子产品海洋中的一员,如果他没有发明诸如Ipad,Iphone这样创新的设备,他是不太可能在全球市场取得成功甚至改变人们的通讯、娱乐和生活方式的。 Just imagine why Apple's products could be widely and deeply supported by consumers among other similar products, it is not their appearance and price, but their distinctive function,that couts. 试想一下,为何苹果公司的产品能够在诸多的同类产品中深受消费者的喜欢,不在于他们的外形和价 格,而在于他们与众不同的功能。 stay hungry stay foolish

有一天,他碰到在乐山太平场读书的好友余童生,只见小余表情沮丧,仔细一问,才知他因交不起学费,被迫退学了。 郭沫若心想,小余聪明好学,很有抱负,如今中途辍学,多可惜呀!于是,他温情脉脉地安慰小余说:“别难过,我去找私塾先生求求情,让他免费收下你。 说罢,当场作了一副对联,送给了私塾先生。 谁知,私塾先生接过对联,只看了两眼,就无动于衷地扔到了一边。 郭沫若急了,又研墨挥毫,作了一首七绝《怜余童生》:“学海茫茫庭院森,无银不敢拜大成。 吾望吾师施恩典,同病相怜应有人。 私塾先生读了这首情深意切的七绝诗,深受感动,不久就免了余童生的学费,使他得以继续念书。 程颢死后,又将杨时推荐到其弟程颐门下,在洛阳伊川所建的伊川书院中求学。 杨时那时已四十多岁,学问也相当高,但他仍谦虚谨慎,不骄不躁,尊师敬友,深得程颐的喜爱,被程颐视为得意门生,得其真传。 —天,杨时同—起学**的游酢颐请求学问,却不巧赶上老师正在屋中打盹儿。 杨时便劝告游酢不要惊醒老师,于是两人静立门口,等老师醒来。 —会儿,天飘起鹅毛大雪,越下越急,杨时和游酢却还立在雪中,

初中作文写作素材-名人事例大全

初中作文写作素材-名人事例大全 一、居里夫人“幸运”的失恋 1883年,16岁的波兰姑娘玛丽亚,即后来的居里夫人,到某贵族之家当家庭教师,她计划挣一些钱出去上大学。两年后,这家的长子卡西米尔与玛丽亚相恋,玛丽亚刚过19岁,他们计划结婚。当然,上大学是不可能的了。可是,由于门第不同,他们的婚姻遭到卡西米尔父母的坚决反对,意志薄弱的卡西米尔屈从了父母。玛丽亚痛苦万分,竟准备“同尘世告别”,但她终于凭着顽强的意志克制住自己。于是,她把个人的不幸化为献身更大目标的动力,化为教育培养当地贫苦孩子的善心以及只身赴巴黎求学的勇气。人们认为,这是一次幸运的失恋。否则,她的历史将会重写,人类将失去一位迄今为止最伟大的女科学家。 分析:居里夫人的失恋是她人生的一次挫折,从挫折与痛苦中解脱出来,重新振作,投入到科学研究中,她才有了后来的成功。话题:“挫折与成功”“意志的力量”“转折” 二、贫穷造就了作家 年轻时的左拉很穷。为了抵挡饥饿,他拿捕雀器在屋顶上捉麻雀,用挂窗帘的铁丝将麻雀串起来在火上烤着吃;为了坚持写作,他把仅有的几件衣服也送进了当铺,只能用被子来御寒。偶尔得到一个蜡烛头,他竟会如过节似的高兴,因为今夜可以读书写作了。正是贫穷磨砺了他的意志,他终于写成了轰动一时的《卢贡·马加尔家族》。 分析:有人面对贫穷时会一蹶不振,有人却能以贫穷为动力,实现自己的目标。左拉为我们树立了榜样。话题:“贫穷是一笔财富”“坚持不懈”“苦难出人才”

三、艰难困苦铸人才 米勒是19世纪法国著名的作家。他生于农家,年轻时跟人学画,因为不满其老师浮华的艺术风格,便离开了他的老师。后来,他在巴黎以画裸体画糊口,渐渐地他对此种艺术感到厌倦,但其他题材的画也卖不出去,因此,一度陷于贫困、苦恼和绝望的深渊。为生活所迫,他只好离开巴黎,住到乡下。在农村,他依然未能摆脱贫困,但美丽的大自然、淳朴的农民和农家生活,激起了画家的创作激情。他忍受了一切艰难,坚持创作,创作出了许多著名的作品,如《播种者》等。 分析:人的一生都会遇到千辛万苦,甚至疾病、死亡。不怕困难、挫折,努力奋斗,定能书写辉煌的人生。话题:“成功与磨难”“挫折的力量”“苦难是一种财富” 四、磨难是财富 困难、挫折对有志者来说是一笔财富。苏联“宇宙之父”齐奥尔科夫斯基,少年时患猩红热病而耳聋,被赶出学校。但他靠图书馆自学,显示了惊人的数学才能。德国诗人海涅生前最后八年是在“被褥的坟墓”中度过的,他手足不能动弹,眼睛半瞎,但生命之火不灭,吟出了大量誉满人间的优秀诗篇。 分析:也许没有声音的世界更能静心思考,但“被褥的坟墓”绝难予人灵感,一颗坚强的心才是根本!话题:“磨难是财富”“生命的力量” 五、面对失败和贫困 杰克·伦敦自幼家境贫寒,但他雄心勃勃为自己设计了一个做大作家、用笔杆子改造社会的远大前程。为了当作家,他在中学补课一年,然后考入加利福利亚大学,但因难以支付学费,只

Great Souls ? Nelson Mandela Mandela, the South African black political leader and former president, was awarded 1993 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to antiracism and antiapartheid. Nelson Mandela is one of the great moral and political leaders of our time: an international hero whose lifelong dedication to the fight against racial oppression in South Africa won him the Nobel Peace Prize and the presidency of his country. Since his triumphant release in 1990 from more than a quarter-century of imprisonment, Mandela has been at the centre of the most compelling and inspiring political drama in the world. As president of the African National Congress and head of South Africa's antiapartheid movement, he was instrumental in moving the nation toward multiracial government and majority rule. He is revered everywhere as a vital force in the fight for human rights and racial equality. (138) ? Gandhi Mahatma Gandhi was the pre-eminent political and spiritual leader of India during the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer of the resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon total non-violence—which led India to independence and has inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. He is officially honored in India as the Father of the Nation. After assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns to ease poverty, expand women's rights, build religious and ethnic amity, and increase economic self-reliance. Above all, he aimed to achieve the independence of India from foreign domination. Later he campaigned against the British to Quit India. Gandhi spent a number of years in jail in both South Africa and India. (128) Additionally, Gandhi influenced important leaders and political movements. Leaders of the civil rights movement in the United States, including Martin Luther King and James Lawson, drew from the writings of Gandhi in the development of their own theories about non-violence. Anti-apartheid activist and former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, was inspired by Gandhi. Prior to becoming President of the United States, then-Senator Barack Obama noted that: Throughout my life, I have always looked to Mahatma Gandhi as an inspiration, because he embodies the kind of transformational change that can be made when ordinary people come together to do extraordinary things. That is why his portrait hangs in my Senate office: to remind me that real results will come not just from Washington – they will come from the people. (129) Martin Luther King Martin Luther King, Jr. was an American clergyman, activist and prominent leader in the African-American civil right movement. His main legacy was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States and he is frequently referenced as a human rights icon today. King led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, serving as its first president. King's efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. There, he raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement and established himself as one of the greatest orators in U.S. history. By the time of his death in 1968, he had refocused his efforts on ending poverty and opposing the VietnamWar, both from a religious perspective. In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end
