With a dream, you are standing on the starting line for success; the spirit of the drum is like the sound of a starting shot; and the action is like running with all strength. Only by sticking to the last second can you win the game.

While still studying, Columbus accidentally learned that the earth is round. After a long period of thinking and research, he boldly suggested that if the earth is really round, he can reach India in a very short distance.

Many university professors and philosophers with common sense are ridiculed by him. They think that India, which travels to the east to the east, is a stupid thing in the south. Moreover, the earth is basically dry. If you sail westward, the ship of Columbus will sail. Fall to the edge of the earth and fall.

However, Columbus is very confident about this, but unfortunately his family is poor and cannot realize the ideal of this adventure. He hopes to get funding from others, but after waiting for 17 years, there is no result. In the end, he decided to go to see Queen Isabella, and he was able to beg for a living. The Queen appreciated his reason and promised to give him a boat to let him take risks. However, the sailors who were on the boat were afraid of death and did not want to go with him. So Columbus ran to the waterfront and found several sailors, and through some coercion and temptation, they finally promised to take risks together. On the other hand, he asked the Queen to send a few death row prisoners together, and promised that if the adventure is successful, they can recover. free.

In August 1492, Columbus led three sailboats and began an epoch-making voyage. However, just a few days after sailing, two ships were broken, and then they fell into a few hundred square kilometers of seaweed. After six or seventy days of sailing in the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, I did not see the traces of the mainland. The sailors were disappointed, they asked to return, otherwise they would kill Columbus. Columbus used both encouragement and high pressure to finally convince the crew to continue sailing. There is always a way out. One day, Columbus suddenly saw a group of birds flying southwest, and immediately ordered the fleet to change course, keeping up with the birds. Because he knows that seabirds always fly to habitats with food, it is expected that there may be land nearby.

Sure enough, Columbus soon discovered the New World of the Americas, and thus became a hero of the ages.

It can be imagined that if Columbus does not act, but waits for it, he will inevitably live forever, "white head, empty and sad." The discoverers of the American continent may also be changed to others, and the successful crown will never belong to him.

Therefore, if you want to realize your dreams, besides being determined, you will be willing to act and work hard!
