Summary & Response - Ordinary People Produce Extraordinary Results

Summary:

When it comes to Rosa Parks, who is called mother of the civil rights movements, you must know what she had done on the bus. This movement, refusing to go to the back of bus, makes her become famous and celebrated. However, everyone only sees what she did and what powerful she is. No one tries to understand how to make her successful.
After the show that the author participated in, we could know Rosa Parks in detail. Before giving up her bus seat, “she had spent 12 years helping lead the NAACP chapter” and “had attended a 10-day training session” so that she could know more knowledge about racial discrimination and tries to change this kind of environment. Meanwhile, the media played an important role to fill our society with this belief. To sum up, Parks does not come out of nowhere. Even though she felt hesitant at first, she learns how to get over this feeling and keeps going straight without any fear.
Many people in the world always remember what the famous person had done, but they forget the most important thing, how much they have pay. At the same time, it could be the most useful thing to inspire our courage and conscience, such as their failings and uncertainties. Just like the problems that Rosa Parks faces and how she solved them. In conclusion, a hero is just an ordinary person in the beginning. When you act, you have the chance to shape the history.

Response:

It has no reasons that heroes, such as Rosa Parks, come out without paying any efforts. No matter what makes them become a legend for a long time, they need to pay a lot of efforts to achieve their goal, which is such a difficult and hard work for them to do. It could take them a lifetime to become successful, such as Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln. However, most of people only focus on their success, and forget what they had paid for that. For example, we only know that Thomas Alva Edison invents an electric light, which makes him become a legend, but most of us do not know that it takes him about five years to finish this work. Meanwhile, the reason why Rosa Parks become the mother of the civil rights movement is what she had experienced and learned in her youth life. Because of these reasons, she realized that everyone in this world is equal so that she starts to fight with her own and her racial rights as possible as she can. In conclusion, the most important thing that we need to focus on is not what their goal is, is why they become successful and what efforts they had paid because it can help us feel more courageous and confident effectively.

  1. You point out that the two important factors that people can be successful. First of all, that is efforts. If you want to be successful or well-known, there is no shortcut to success. In addition, other people cannot totally understand what you have experienced and how you feel in the process. People can appreciate what you have done but they cannot feel your true deep perception at all. The situation is like that they do not have any thoughts and feeling when they build successful people’s statues. Similarly, it also likes one part in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight that King Author let every knight wear green girdle; however, they cannot really understand what Sir Gawain’s true feeling. At the moment, this action is lack of deep meaning at all.

    Second point you mention is what successful people have experienced before. For example, when they are young, they experience personally that they are looked down by the white people or they are pretty poor in their childhood. Therefore, they have the motivation to be rich or noted. In conclusion, I learn that if you do nothing, you will never reach what you want. Only efforts and experiences can lead people to success.

  2. In my opinion, I think a successful person that he should not only pursuit his own profits, but also devote himself to help others. If a billionaire only cares about how much he earns instead of paying love or creating more chances to those who are in need, no one will agree that he is a successful person. Real success isn't meant how much fortune you make, but how much love you pay.

    I’ll take the world’s second richest man --- Warren Buffet as my example. Warren Buffett announces that he will donate the bulk of his fortune to the pro-abortion foundation set up by Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his wife. The news definitely surprised the whole world. Maybe many people will think that he is insane about leaving about 80 percent of his estate to the Gates’ foundation. However, he thinks that he can use that money to help more people become better. In this event, it also teach me a lesson which is" Give is more blessed than take." In my future, I will also try my best to be a successful person as Warren Buffet.
