Successful need to try again

Successful need to try again

In the summer of 1892, the Missouri Plain of the United States experienced a strong storm, and many farms and houses were destroyed by the raging flood. The home of a little boy was also destroyed in this storm, and the family was in a desperate situation and living conditions were even poorer.
One day, a speaker gave a speech at the rally in Wallensburg. The speaker's eloquent skills and exciting stories deeply influenced the boy. The boy suddenly had a strong desire to become a speaker. However, the clumsy appearance, the ragged clothes and the left hand of one index finger always make him feel very inferior for a long time.
In 1904, the boy graduated from high school and attended the Warrensburg State Normal School in Missouri. In order to find a chance to make a difference, he chose to win in the speech contest. At the beginning, he failed again and again, the boy was disheartened, and even doubted his ability. After another game, he dragged his tired body and walked home. When he passed a bridge, he stopped and looked at the river below for a long time.
"Child, why not try it again?"
Father stood behind the boy, his eyes filled with trust and encouragement.
So the boy still hasn't given up. In the next two years, people in Wallensburg can see a young, thin, shabby young man almost every day, while squatting on the riverside, recited Lincoln. And Davis’s famous words. He is so absorbed, and even reached the point of forgetting.
In 1906, a boy's speech entitled "The Memory of Childhood" won the LeBold Young Speaker Award. This is his first successful attempt, and this lecture is still in the school of the Valensberg State Teachers College.
The boy is Dale Carnegie, a well-known American adult educator, psychologist and interpersonal relationshipist. His series of "The Road to Success" set the world's best book sales, many years after his death, In every corner of the world, people are still constantly mentioning his name in different ways. Nowadays, the “Interpersonal Relationship Training Course” pioneered by Carnegie is spread all over the world.
My life sentiment:
The famous thinker Alice Adams once said: "There is no such thing as failure in the world, unless you stop trying." Carnegie's legendary life makes people feel deeply while giving us deep thoughts. Many times, In the face of setbacks and failures, perhaps we should also say this to ourselves: Why not try again? Perhaps the most needed for success is the courage to try again.
