Treat setbacks as a ladder

Once upon a time, a young painter lived in a narrow small house and drew portraits along the road to survive. One day, a rich man passed by and watched his painter carefully. He liked it and asked him to help draw a portrait. The two sides agreed on a reward of 10 thousand yuan.

A week later, the portrait was finished, and the rich came to get the painting. At this time, the rich began to think about it, deceiving him to be young and not famous, and refused to pay for labor according to the original agreement. The Rich thought: "the portrait in the painting is me. If I don't buy this painting, No one will buy it. Why should I spend so much money to buy it ?」 As a result, the rich paid off the bills and he said that he would only spend three thousand yuan to buy this painting. The young painter was so stupid that he never touched this kind of thing. He felt a little flustered and spent a lot of lip gloss to argue with the rich and hoped that the rich would abide by the agreement and be a trustworthy person.

「 I can only spend three thousand yuan to buy a painting. You can't buy it any more .」 The Rich thought he had the upper hand. "In the end, I ask you, three thousand yuan, don't sell ?」 The young painter knew that the rich had deliberately paid off their bills and was angry. He said in a firm tone, "Don't sell. I would rather not sell this painting than be humiliated by you. Today, if you lose your credibility, you will have to pay 20 times the price in the future .」

「 Joke. It's 20 times, it's 0.2 million! I am not stupid enough to buy this painting for 0.2 million .」

「 Well, let's wait .」 The young painter said to the rich who suddenly left.

After the excitement of this incident, the painter moved away from this sad place and worshipped the teacher again, working hard day and night. After more than a decade, Huang tianyao became a famous character in the art world.

What about the rich? Since leaving the studio, I forgot the painter's paintings and words the next day. On that day, several friends of the Rich told him, "friends! It's a strange thing! These days, we visited the exhibition of a famous artist. One of the paintings is of no price. The figures in the paintings are exactly the same as you, and the price is 0.2 million. The funny thing is that the title of this painting is actually a thief .」

The rich seem to have been beaten by others and think of painters more than a decade ago. It hurt him too much. He immediately rushed to the young painter, apologized to him, and spent 0.2 million to buy the portrait painting. With an unyielding ambition, young people let the rich down their heads.

This provides us with an inspiration: "We must be angry and discouraged when we live. We should regard setbacks as a ladder and make unremitting efforts. Over time, we will surely fulfill our wishes !!!」

Do you believe this? No one can humiliate you, defeat you, except yourself.

The young man's name is --
