How to carve out a successful road from thorns?

October 3rd, 1991 was an ordinary day, but it was an extraordinary day for gordimer, a South African Jewish woman writer. On this day, she won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1991. She was the first female writer to win an award in 25 years and the seventh female writer to win an award since the establishment of Nobel Prize in Literature. This literary gold medal was cast by her hard work and sweat for 4 years. How can she not be excited?

gordimer was born on November 2th, 1923 in Springs Village, a small town near Johannesburg. She is a descendant of Jewish immigrants, her mother is British, and her father is a jeweler from Baltic countries. The golden family life has created gordimer's infinite longing and daydream.

at the age of six, she stroked and stared at her slender and soft body, and dreamed of becoming a ballet dancer. She learned from the theater that the stage career can best express people's self-cultivation and thoughts and feelings, and maybe this is the career she pursues.

So, on a rainy Saturday, she signed up and joined the small ballet troupe. Contrary to expectations, because of her weak constitution, she was not adapted to the dance with large activities, and from time to time some minor illnesses and disasters haunted her. Over time, gordimer Jr. was forced to give up the pursuit of this cause.

With regret, this stubborn woman secretly vowed that all roads lead to Rome, and she would eventually find her own way to success.

However, instead of giving her a chance, fate pushed her into an increasingly painful abyss. At the age of 8, she left school because of illness, which interrupted her childhood studies. At night, she often waited for the morning with helpless tears. She had to sit in bed with books all day.

On a bright summer day, gordimer, who was upset and very lonely, sneaked onto the street, hoping to get some happiness from the busy street. Suddenly, she was attracted by a modest wooden sign and refused to leave for a long time: "Springs Library!" " She is ecstatic. She has already read the textbook well, and she is most eager for books.

After that, she plunged into the library and soaked in books all day. The library bell rang, but she dived under the table and didn't get out until the library door was locked. In this free kingdom, she enjoyed and greedily sucked the nutrition of knowledge. Countless days and nights have made her interested in literature.

Maybe it's an excess of "nutrients". She often feels a spring water stirring in her heart. Finally, her tender little hand picked up the pen, and a fountain of emotions flowed on the white paper. That year, she was just 9 years old, and her literary career began.

Unexpectedly, at the age of 15, her first novel was published in a local literary magazine. However, no one who doesn't know her knows that the novel was written by a young girl.

In p>1953, gordimer's first novel, The Days of Lying, came out. Beautiful style and profound ideological connotation caused a sensation in the literary world at that time. Almost at the same time, the world literary circle turned its attention to this extraordinary female writer-Nadine gordimer.

Like a stiff horse, gordimer's creation is out of control. During her long creative career, she has written 1 novels and more than 2 short stories. The prolificacy and excellent quality made her win awards again and again: in 1961, her "Footprints on Friday" won the British Smith Prize; In 1974, she unexpectedly won the British literature prize.

The golden season of creation has made gordimer more diligent. She said: "I want to soak my pen with my heart and blood and eulogize the black life." Full of enthusiasm was quickly rewarded. As soon as her The Pursuit of Dignity was published, it became a famous work and attracted the attention of the Swedish Academy of Literature.

Then, her masterpieces, such as The Declining Bourgeois World, The Stranger's World and The Guest of Honor, easily hit the competition circle selected by Nobel Prize in Literature.

However, just as she was riding the wind, a wave accompanied by a vortex made her suffer several setbacks-the Swedish Academy of Literature nominated her as a candidate for Nobel Prize in Literature several times, but each time she failed to get her wish for various reasons. Faced with the blow, this weak woman was disappointed. She solemnly wrote "Nadine gordimer, Nobel Prize in Literature" on the title page of her book, and then wrote the word "failure" in brackets. However, the temporary disappointment didn't affect her pursuit of career. She didn't relax her literary creation for a moment. Finally, she broke a successful path from the thorns.

strive to seek and realize the greatest value of life. In the midst of difficulties, you need to find out your enthusiasm, correct your attitude towards life, and turn today's setbacks into the driving force for tomorrow's success.
