Be able to afford to lose in life.

In the autumn of 1935, the withered and yellow leaves slowly fell on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A Chinese young man full of worries walked aimlessly during it.

The young man has just crossed the ocean to study here. But cultural barriers, language discomfort, and differences in living habits made him worry about his future. He was afraid that he would not be able to graduate here with honors and be ashamed of his fellow villagers in his hometown.

When he was in trouble, the young man suddenly found a group of people talking enthusiastically about something not far away. It turned out that a bearded man who delivered takeout could not help but make a few comments when he saw a new car. Because of what he said, the owner of the car began to talk to him in surprise, which soon attracted a lot of onlookers.

Everyone asked the bearded man curiously why he knew so much about cars. He replied shyly that he used to be the general manager of a car company, which went bankrupt because of the economic downturn. In order to support his family, he switched professions to deliver takeout.

After hearing this, the onlookers could not help but sigh deeply. However, the bearded man did not look depressed at all, but smiled and said to everyone: there is nothing to lose in life. Without running a car company, I can still support my family, and I believe I will succeed again! With that, he whistled away. Good dream weaving, good dream weaving his words, in the hearts of Chinese young men, set off waves: indeed, perhaps there is no desperate situation in this world, and nothing can not afford to lose! Putting aside the burden of thought, he began to patiently delve into the professional knowledge he had learned. In just a few years, there have been transformational changes.

Later, the young man graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with honors and soon made a series of remarkable scientific research achievements. He was Qian Xuesen, a famous Chinese scientist who was later known as the father of China's aerospace industry.

When we encounter difficulties or frustrations, we might as well learn from the bearded man who turned from general manager to takeout and always keep a happy and enterprising heart, because there is nothing we can't afford to lose in life.
