The bell is always ringing

Robert, the best-selling author of the United States, told a story: In the 19th century, American John Pirpent graduated from Yale University and chose his teacher as his profession in accordance with his grandfather's wishes. His life looks hopeful.

However, fate seems to be deliberately tricking him. Pilpunt is more than enough to be a serious and insufficiency for the students, and soon became unacceptable to the conservative education community at that time, and the result soon ended his teaching career.

But he didn't care, still confident. Soon he became a lawyer and was prepared to work hard to maintain the fairness of the law. But he doesn't seem to understand the popular principle of "who has money for whom to serve". He will push down the business that comes to the door because the party is a bad person. If a good person is treated unfairly, he will do it without pay.

Such a person, the legal profession felt unbearable, and Pilpunt had to leave and become a textile salesman. However, he does not seem to learn from the past setbacks, can not see the cruelty of competition, in the negotiations always let opponents get their profits, and they only have to lose points. So, I had to change to be a pastor. However, he also offended the parish believers by supporting the prohibition of alcohol and against slavery and was forced to resign.

In 1886, Pilpenter passed away. In his 81-year career, it seems that nothing has happened.

Read this, you may ask, is this an article written by a bestselling author? Why did Robert write about Pilpent's life?

Robert replied with deep affection in the article: "Break the blizzard, we are sitting on the sled, the fast banquet is over the field, we laugh and sing, the horse jingle, the mood is so happy..." It has become an indispensable song in Western Christmas - the author of "The Jingle Bells" is Pierpenter. This is what he wrote on a Christmas Eve as a gift for the children of the neighborhood. There is no Jesus in the song, no Santa Claus, some are just the snowy winter night, the crisp bells on the sleigh through the cold wind, the laughter singing all the way, the beautiful soul of the young friends who are not afraid of the snow.

Pilpent may not have thought that the work he had in his life had such a huge impact. This has a strong contrast with his personal life experience. What does it mean?

Living in a certain moment, due to various factors, it is possible to abandon those who embrace good ideas, but life will not abandon good thoughts, always believe that no one has given up their thoughts because of personal frustration, always believe that life and the world should It is wonderful. He did not follow the crowd, so that he was squeezed away by his people in all walks of life, but this does not mean that his ideals and pursuits are worthless. Today, his song is frozen in the depths of people's hearts. Isn't that a powerful explanation?
