Insert the wings for the defect

Text / field

His mother gave birth to 19 children, but only 9 survived. He ranked second to last, and was fortunate to be one of the 9 brothers and sisters who survived. However, he has a congenital defect in his life: his left face is paralyzed and his left ear is deaf. When he talks and smiles, his mouth will turn to one side. The mother took him around for medical treatment, but there was no effect. Mothers often shed tears for this.

He grew up day by day with these congenital deficiencies. When I was a child, my friends often laughed at him and told him that he was a grin. He refused to accept it and fought with his companion. He shot and never gave up. The partners are afraid of him and dare not marry him any more. No one is jealous of him, but his heart is low self-esteem. Because of his mouth, he talked and screamed, and he couldn’t hear clearly. In order to be able to speak the standard words like ordinary people, he often contained a stone in his mouth and stirred the stone in his mouth with his tongue, so that the tongue was worn, the mouth was worn, and the red blood flowed out. The mother couldn't see it, and said to him with tears: "Son, don't practice again. Later, if you can't find a job, Mom will keep you forever." He doesn't. He said: "I want to insert the wings of the defect into the aura of envy." He did it. When he graduated from high school, he not only spoke a clear word, but also qualified for the Faculty of Law at Laval University in Canada with a Ph.D. Subsequently, he was elected as a member of parliament and served as a prominent minister of foreign trade, finance, and energy.

In 1993, he participated in the Canadian Prime Minister’s election. Of course, the top executive in Canada is to show his best side to the voters who support him. Among them, the speech is essential. Due to his congenital flaws, his speech rate is very slow, it is difficult to make a passionate and heroic speech. His campaign team designed many presentations for him. However, he tried it and it didn't work well. He believes that defects can't be avoided. To win the election, you must use your own flaws, insert the wings of the defects, and win the sympathy, understanding and support of the voters. After thinking, he came up with a speech style that suits him. Although this style is not passionate and heroic, although it can't make people excited and uplifting, but this style is slower in speaking, clear in words, humorous, and whispering, giving people a sense of solidity without losing leadership style. It turns out that his style is right. His humorous speech won the approval of the voters and the support rate was greatly improved.

The campaign is cruel. Each of his shortcomings was magnified by his opponent with a magnifying glass and placed in front of the voters. The opponent designed such an advertisement: next to his grinning image, "Will you choose such a person to be your prime minister?", in the major media such as television. In this regard, he did not evade, but edited his childhood photos and growth experience into a short film, which was handed over to television stations and other media. His childhood encounter and strong unyielding character won the sympathy and support of the voters, and expressed his indignation at the opponent's use of his flaws to personally attack him. In this media war, he used his own flaws to defeat his opponent, and the support rate went up.

In the municipal defense where the voters participated, the opponent used his flaws to challenge him again in his reply. The opponent said with enthusiasm to the voters: "Look, the prime minister candidates you support speak with one side. How can such a one-sided person maintain fairness when dealing with state affairs?" He listened. I was not angry, but smiled and said, "I use one side to talk. This means that I am wholeheartedly committed to the country and the people. I don’t like the prime minister candidates around me talking on both sides. People who talk with both sides are Dealing with state affairs is the most dangerous because he has two sides, he will meet people and talk, and he will talk about ghosts. Will you support such a person as a prime minister?" His humorous taste once again won the applause of the voters. .

He used his own flaws and boarded the Canadian Prime Minister without any suspense, and was re-elected for ten years. In his 10 years in office, he insisted on practicing his campaign vows and serving the country with one heart and one mind. He eliminated Canada's $42 billion fiscal deficit, achieved national balance of payments, and became the only country in the West with no fiscal deficit. The domestic economy is recovering, the unemployment rate is falling, national welfare is rising, and juvenile delinquency is falling. Especially after the outbreak of the Iraq war, he withstood the pressure of the United States, did not send troops to the multinational forces, but provided financial assistance to Iraq after the war. This strategy not only provides space for Canada's domestic economic development, but also has won international recognition.

His name is Jean Chretien, a child of an ordinary worker's family, a person with congenital defects. He used his flaws to defeat his opponent, won the election, and won his life.

Congenital ugliness and disability are not important. It is important to face up to your own defects, use your own defects, and insert wings to take off. In this way, you will turn from an ugly duckling to a white swan, flying into the sky!
