Snails can also climb to the mountain

In the summer of 1998, a small, yellow-skinned Chinese teenager appeared in the small town of Michelle in central Oregon. He was Yu Zhibo.

The town of Michelle enjoys the warm and humid air brought by the warm Pacific Ocean. The seasons are like spring and the vegetation is lush. The town is surrounded by golden sandy beaches, dense forests, winding mountains, rushing rivers and blue lakes. The vast grasslands and tranquil deserts are extremely beautiful. But the town has a population of only 350 people, only one store, two restaurants, a post office and a school, and there are no traffic lights on the street. This made Yu Zhibo, who came from the bustling and bustling city of Chengdu, lost his mood.

When Yu Zhibo came here, he was helpless. At the age of 16, he was listed in the college entrance examination in China. In order to allow him to go to college, his parents had to go through the formalities for admission to the Michelle High School graduating class.

A few days after arriving at the school, Yu Zhibo found that his original English language was far from being able to adapt to the requirements of study and life. It is not necessary to discuss with teachers and classmates during class, and it is difficult to communicate with the landlord.

The gloom of the college entrance examination failed to be exhausted, and the environment was unfamiliar and the language was unreasonable. Yu Zhibo was like a piece of iron. He was silent and difficult to open his face.

Constrained by Mr. Jackson, they taught them physics. He was in his forties, smart and capable, and talked humorously, which he loved. One day, in the physics class, Teacher Jackson asked Yu Zhibo in class. Yu Zhibo didn't listen to the problem and answered it indiscriminately. The students listened to the laughter. Yu Zhibo was ashamed and difficult. After class, he rushed out of the classroom and ran to a small forest near the school. Here, he was so busy, and Yu Zhibo often sat quietly here. He fell on the grass and his tears covered his cheeks.

I don't know when, Jackson got to his side. He saw Yu Zhibo swaying his shoulders and caressing his head with pity. Yu Zhibo saw Jackson and stopped crying. Jackson pulled him up. At this time, Yu Zhibo saw that there was a snail at their feet. Its shell was in the sun, delicate and transparent, and it was slowly crawling slowly.

Teacher Jackson asked: "Do you know where the snail is going?"

Yu Zhibo shook his head, and Jackson pointed to the front of the snail and said, "Look at it." There is a mountain in front, and the peaks are towering and towering into the clouds.

Teacher Jackson went on to say: "I think the snail is going to the top of the mountain. There is a saying that 'there are two kinds of animals that can reach the top of the pyramid - the eagle and the snail. 'The snail also likes to choose the height! I believe as long as it Work hard and eventually climb to the top of the mountain, where the scenery it sees is the same as the eagle."

After some words, let Yu Zhibo think thoughtfully, he looked up and saw the eyes that Jackson teacher looked forward to. He said, "Teacher, thank you, I have to be a snail climbing the top!"

From the second day, Yu Zhibo actively communicated with teachers and classmates, imitating the tone and tone of their speech. Even when there is no one, he listens to the recording and imitates it aloud. In two months, he basically mastered the pronunciation of American English, and he was able to speak easily.

In addition, his achievements have also advanced by leaps and bounds. A year later, Yu Zhibo represented the outstanding student body and spoke at the high school graduation ceremony. After that, the principal told him privately that if he did not say "thank you all" in Chinese, the principal almost forgot that he was a foreign student.

After studying at the university, Yu Zhibo sang all the way. He relied on his own efforts to transfer from the third-rate university to Harvard Business School, and graduated in 2019. As a cutting-edge talent who was one of Citibank's 10 “Global Leadership Programs”, he was hired by Lenovo Group, the world's top 500 company, to become the Senior Assistant to the President.

The snail's sky is not necessarily low and bleak. Although it crawls slowly, as long as it crawls toward the target, it will climb to the top of the mountain. It has the same vision as the eagle and has a high blue sky.
