Helen. Keller

Blind, deaf and dumb from an early age, Helen Keller familiarized herself with the dark and silent world around her by touching it with her hands, tasting it with her mouth, and sniffing it with her nose. It seemed that the limitations were so great that she was helpless. How do you go about teaching someone who can't hear? She can't speak, how do you know what she needs? She can't see or hear, but how does she know where you are? Helen Keller is spiritually unsuccumbed to this cold life. Since it was impossible to even curse and complain, she had to use the violent shaking of her body to lose her temper with her parents and the people around her to explain her disheartened state of mind. It seems that she is destined to spend her life in despair in a silent world of isolation.

However, an extraordinary young woman broke into her life, and this person can be seen as the strongman in life: Anne Sullivan. Helen Keller's parents hired her to remove their daughter's loneliness and soothe her anger, which had left them disheartened and depressed. Anne Sullivan was fully aware of her difficulties and the hopelessness of her task, but she was secretly determined to teach the child to communicate with the world she could not reach. It was a battle against the apparently impossible, the frustrations and disappointments of which could discourage and deter the strongest of people, but she endured it in silence and for months. She just refused to fail. Suddenly, one day, when too much disappointment was discouraged, and hope seemed to never come, Helen made a voice of understanding, all of which was unexpected, and after her first reaction, she opened up like a bud.

Helen Keller's potential was tapped into by another belief in her heart, and she progressed slowly, painfully, and at times stopped, but she continued to work hard to become a respected writer, speaker, and shining example of perseverance and courage around the world.

She could have easily become a comforted person to "curse God and die," but she had a different choice, she had to overcome her flaws without giving in to them.

Helen Keller's story is legendary, it vibrates the human heart, and the story contains the best of human nature, the desire for life, the tenacity of vitality. It makes us see what it means to make the impossible possible, what it is to create miracles, and what it is that the ordinary breeds greatness.

A young boy almost considers himself the most unfortunate child in the world, left with a lame leg and jagged and protruding teeth because of polio. He rarely played games or games with his classmates, and when the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always kept his head down and didn't say a word.

On a normal spring day, the boy's father asked for some saplings from a neighbor's house, and he wanted to plant them in front of the house. He told his children to plant one each. The father told the children that whoever planted the sapling that grew the best would buy him a favorite gift. The little boy also wanted to get a gift from his father. But seeing the figures of the brothers and sisters jumping up and down to carry water to water the tree, somehow, a cold idea came up: I hope that the tree I planted will die soon. So after pouring it once or twice, I didn't bother with it.

A few days later, when the little boy went to see the tree he had planted, he was surprised to find that not only had it not withered, but had also grown a few new leaves, which were greener and more vibrant than the trees planted by his siblings. The father fulfilled his promise and bought the little boy one of his favorite gifts, and told him that, judging by the trees he planted, he would grow up to be a great botanist.

Since then, the boy has slowly become more optimistic.

One night, the little boy lay in bed and couldn't sleep, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, and suddenly remembered what the biology teacher had said: Plants generally grow at night, why not go and see the little tree you planted. When he came out into the yard with his feet, he saw his father splashing something with a spoon under the tree he had planted. Suddenly, he understood everything, it turned out that his father had been secretly fertilizing the little tree he had planted! He returned to his room and let the tears run freely......

Decades passed, and although the lame boy did not become a botanist, he became the president of the United States, and his name was Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Love is the best nourishment in life, even if it is just a spoonful of water, it can make the tree of life thrive.
