Beethoven had an ugly face , and he had a very bad temper (脾气), but people like to ask him to their homes. When he lost his temper, they forgave (原谅) him. He was often poor and ill during his life. After one illness, he suddenly found himself deaf. At that time he was just 31. What a blow(打击) it was on him! But this didn't stop Beethoven from walking on in his life. He went on writing much music. He wrote long pieces and short pieces, happy ones and sad ones all his life. During his life, he composed (作曲) about 300 pieces. To people's surprise, he wrote some of his best and most beautiful pieces after he became deaf. Many of them are known and loved all over the world.

Our words carry huge weight. They may influence people for years, and even for a lifetime. They provide them with courage to go on or one more reason to give up. When I was fourteen, my family moved to another city. Junior high was always a difficult time for me, and the move made my ninth-grade year even harder. I remember walking into the dining hall for the first time. The other kids had good friends with them, but I didn't know anyone. I felt lonely and went to the nearest seat after getting some food. The kids beside me looked at me up and down and then laughed. I could feel my face turning red at that moment. Then one of the Kids broke the ice. “Man! You have one BIG nose!” I felt hurt and didn't know what to say. I wanted to cry. But I managed a little smile—as if it didn't hurt me at all. But it did. From then on, I would often look at myself in the mirror. I studied the big nose closely. It seemed that I was just living for my nose. Thankfully, I grew out of this influence finally. But it really took me twenty years There is another thing that is kept deep in my mind. I remember going through a terrible business failure. I lost everything. I called my dad for help and he told me a lot about how to deal with the failure. What he said gave me a lot of courage and confidence(信心)to go on with my business. |
