Success stories of great people

Thomas Alva Edison

Thomas Alva Edison was initially unlucky: he was the youngest child in the family of a merchant who managed to lose all his meager savings. Thomas was sent to school, but after four months the boy was turned out of the door, declaring him a “brainless idiot.”

And he turned out to be an amazing person, this Thomas Edison, interesting facts are living proof of this. He began to invent toys for himself because he couldn’t ask his parents for money for “all sorts of nonsense,” and at the age of ten he built a toy railroad and a sawmill.

The guy was twelve when he started selling apples on the train, and spent all the money he earned on his passion, chemistry. By cunning or flattery, he won the right to equip a baggage car as a laboratory and learned to print a newspaper (it became the first weekly publication for passengers).

But two years later there was a fire in his carriage. According to one legend, the senior conductor threw the boy out of the train, and the printing press and assorted flasks with retorts followed him. As a result of the strong blow, Thomas lost his hearing, but survived and did not give up.

He never allowed himself to be disappointed or doubted, which is why his success story is so amazing.

Inventing the famous incandescent lamp, Thomas Edison carried out 1999 (!) experiments and only in 2000 achieved what he wanted.

Once a young man asked him: what does it feel like to be wrong 1999 times? “Young man,” Edison replied, “I have never made a mistake. On the contrary, I invented 1999 ways to avoid making light bulbs.”

The Beatles

The fifties were booming in England. People shook off the ashes of war, they wanted to dance and sing. Musical groups appeared like mushrooms after rain, and many of them played fancy skiffle.

Hooligan John Lennon also wanted to try. He knew how to compose songs, and just at that time the exemplary boy Paul McCartney turned up, he famously strummed rock and roll on the guitar and even knew how to tune it! In addition, he had a friend named George Harrison, also an excellent guitarist. It seemed like all the ingredients for success were there, but he wasn’t waiting for them around the next corner.

Interesting facts for fans and everyone who loves the Beatles.

It wasn’t long before they found “their” fourth participant. His place was occupied by a variety of people, one of them was not even a musician.

Record labels showed no interest in the newcomers, stating that "they sound bad, guitar bands are out of fashion, so there's no future for these guys."

At the Decca recording studio, the Beatles were rejected on the grounds that: “We don’t like their sound. They have no future in the music industry."

During the first tour to Hannover (Germany), the group was deported from the country.

However, producer Brian Epstein believed in his young protégés, and he was completely right.

Walt Disney

They say that dad, who was always unemployed, got drunk and beat little Waltie. He cried from pain and resentment, and his mother read him fairy tales to calm him down. This is probably why, when he was already a 12-year-old boy, he decided to become a cartoonist.

Fate did not want to smile on Waltie for a long time, but he still turned out to be worthy of heading the list of people who did not give up.

Walt drew cartoons and comics, submitting them to various magazines and getting rejected everywhere. And at the age of 18 he got a job as a cartoonist and was kicked out in disgrace “for incompetence.”

Together with a friend, he started his own business, earning “crazy money” ($135), but the business collapsed. Then Walt began drawing cartoons in the garage, however, his first duology about Alice according to Carroll failed. Disney then came up with a profitable character called Oswald the Rabbit. This time the rights to it were stolen by an insidious deceiver.

Walt gritted his teeth and created Donald Duck. And also Mickey Mouse for company. However, everyone was sarcastic about both of them, and in general, criticizing the “mouse studio” became good form, nevertheless, things progressed.

But as soon as decent sums loomed in the accounts, competitors lured away Disney's best animator, his best, long-time friend. And then the resilient Walt broke down. He started drinking, and then decided to take his own life. Fortunately, doctors saved him, allowing Walt Disney's success story to continue.

The animator slowly pulled himself out of depression and financial collapse. I came up with the idea of ​​selling souvenirs with characters from my cartoons, thus receiving money for the production of Snow White. But again, the project ate up all the profits from the souvenirs, and not a single bank would give a loan to Disney. He started drinking again due to a nervous breakdown. Then he finally found five million to continue filming.

He always moved forward through a lot of obstacles. His idea to build Disneyland turned out to be another hassle. Even my brother called the future park a “cheap fair.” But today the name Walt Disney is known all over the world.

He is part of the culture, a founder and innovator in the world of cinema. In addition: winner of 29 Oscars, the Legion of Honor and more than seven hundred other insignia. And he left a billion dollar fortune to his heirs.

Andrey Belyaev – 395 kg

Another Russian hero and holder of several records, not only based on the results of competitions held on the territory of the Russian Federation, but also in other countries of Europe and the world. The arsenal of awards includes two bronze statuettes (2009, 2001), awarded to participants in the Titans Cup. Several times Andrey was awarded the title of European, Russian and World champion according to various standards:

• squat – 140 kg;
• bench press – 130 kg;
• deadlift – 170 kg.

Andrey liked the competition, which determined his future fate.

Evpatiy Kolovrat

In our history, Evpatiy can be called the most powerful military leader. The ancient chronicles tell how he and his squad got involved in an unequal battle with Batu’s warriors.

The manuscripts say: “And Evpatiy beat them so mercilessly that their swords became dull, and he took Tatar swords and cut them with them.”

Soon Batu ordered his most powerful soldier, Khostovrul, to kill the Russian governor. However, in a battle with Kolovrat, he was cut in half with a sword all the way to the saddle.

The Mongol-Tatars managed to defeat Evpatiy’s detachment only with the help of military equipment. As a result, our hero was killed, after which his body was handed over to the soldiers for burial - an unprecedented case for those times.

Vladimir Bondarenko – 400 kg

This is not just a person who can rightfully be included in the list of the strongest people in Russia - he is a real legend on a global scale. Vladimir Bondarenko is part of the Russian gold team in powerlifting. And this team has not suffered a single defeat for a solid period - for 8 years in a row it has only won victories in competitions.

Even to foreign representatives of powerlifting, the name Bondarenko speaks volumes! But Vladimir was forced to leave this sport in 2007. He made a balanced decision and the move he made did not upset him at all, since he had many achievements behind him.

What influences the formation of personality

Personality structure refers to the presence of certain traits and the interaction between them.

In an individual, these traits manifest themselves in varying degrees and intensity, which is why all people are different from each other. Imagine that inside each of us there is our own personal mosaic: everyone has it, but no one has one like you.

You will not find two completely identical people on the planet: each has its own peculiarity, individuality. This explains conflicts, contradictions and misunderstandings between individuals.

To better understand what qualities characterize a personality, let's consider its components.

Capabilities

In everyday life, abilities are certain skills that allow a person to achieve certain results.

Abilities are divided into innate and acquired, and have a whole classification:

1. the simplest abilities - the ability to breathe, see, touch, walk. That is, this includes the simplest human actions and the work of the senses;
2. difficult ones are those that need to be learned. For example, playing the piano, drawing, embroidery. Acquired abilities are also called socially determined, since a person is not born with them;
3. general - present in everyone, but to varying degrees. For example, everyone has the ability to learn, but someone grabs new material on the fly, while others take much more time to learn the same thing;
4. special ones - not everyone has them and are based on certain inclinations a person has. For example, Mozart wrote his first symphony at the age of 8, something not every child is capable of. It is precisely such people who often become outstanding personalities;
5. theoretical – consist in the ability to pose and solve theoretical problems using abstract logical thinking. To put it simply, solve problems in your head;
6. practical – the ability to set practical problems and solve them. This includes developing a plan, breaking it down into large and small actions, and successfully implementing them in life;
7. communicative - an example of good abilities of this kind is a person who knows how to establish effective interaction with others: influence people, resolve conflict situations, achieve what they want, win over and find a common language;
8. subject-activity - the ability to handle objects.

All abilities are interconnected and influence each other, as well as the success and effectiveness of the individual in society.

Temperament

Temperament explains how a person experiences various mental states in connection with different life circumstances. Two people with different temperaments, faced with the same situation, are likely to react differently.

For example, they will both lose a valuable item. One will be upset, a little worried, and the next day he will smile as if nothing had happened. The second one will be so upset that he will fall into a depressive state, from which the best psychologists in the city will then pull him out. The example is exaggerated for a clearer understanding of what temperament is.

In psychology, there are only 4 types of temperament, proposed by the well-known historical figure - Hippocrates:

1. Melancholic - this includes vulnerable, anxious people who do not take criticism well, who give up at the slightest obstacle. They get tired quickly, tend to become despondent and depressed (what is this?).
2. The choleric type characterizes hot-tempered, unrestrained, quickly irritated people. Their reactions are impulsive, but despite this, they quickly calm down and continue to behave as if nothing had happened.
3. Phlegmatic is a calm, balanced person who prefers a state of inaction and contemplation. He slowly gets irritated, but holds a negative fuse for a long time. It takes a lot of effort to piss him off, but then watch out. The phlegmatic person is conservative, difficult to adapt to new conditions, but at the same time diligent and has a high performance capacity.
4. Sanguine – this type includes cheerful, optimistic, and easily adaptable people. These are strong personalities: an example of one of them is the person described above, who lost something valuable, but continues to enjoy life. According to statistics, a sanguine person achieves great success in society, since he sees fewer obstacles in front of him - he simply bypasses them.

Andrey Malanichev

He was awarded the title of Russian Powerlifting Champion many times. Andrey is the holder of the honorary sports title of Honored Master of Sports of Russia. He won many victories in international competitions. He won the Titan Cup award five times. Andrey Malanichev has more than 30 total awards – world, European, Russian.

Before starting powerlifting, Andrey was engaged in other activities in different sports fields:

• struggle;
• boxing;
• cycling.

The future master became interested in powerlifting at the age of 16. His first coach was Andrei Chuprin, who laid the foundation for Malanichev’s powerful strength base. This subsequently turned into impressive results.

Ivan Lebedev

Over the years of his biography, Lebedev put a lot of effort into the development of athletics and wrestling in Russia. He published books in which he discussed strength training, training, and also paid great attention to nutrition.

It is curious that Ivan, being a famous strongman, did not recommend that people eat meat, because he believed that it forms uric acid, which is poisonous to the body.

The man considered the main rule of eating to be chewing food thoroughly. He was also against alcohol, smoking tobacco and wearing warm clothes.

Konstantin Pozdeev – 404 kg

This is the absolute world record holder, as well as the deadlift standards of Russia and Europe in the weight category of no more than 110 kg. Konstantin Pozdeev holds the well-deserved title of Master of Sports according to the international classification. He received it back in 2003. He also won the world champion powerlifting title according to the IPF standard.

Konstantin first began training in powerlifting in 2000 when he was still a teenager. Subsequently, this activity brought good results in his sports activities. Over the course of 2 years (from 2012 to 2014), Pozdeev was able to set more than 10 records.

Ivan Zaikin

Ivan Zaikin is a great Russian strongman, World Champion in wrestling and Champion in weight lifting. An interesting fact is that this hero was one of the first Russian aviators. In the West, he was called “Chaliapin of Russian muscles” (see interesting facts about Chaliapin).

Zaikin's power routines brought the audience into indescribable delight. Once in France, he defiantly tore off any chains and bracelets, and bent channels and rails.

He managed to carry an anchor weighing 400 kg, and also rotate a barbell, at both ends of which there were 10 people.

Mikhail Koklyaev – 417.5 kg

He is deservedly considered a recognized weightlifter and bodybuilder. As many as 8 times Mikhail became the champion of Russia in competitions in the category with a weight of more than 105 kg. His personal record in the deadlift discipline (417.5 kg) has not yet been broken by anyone. Mikhail Koklyaev such outstanding results thanks to real willpower.

The future bodybuilder became interested in weightlifting when he was 14 years old. In 1992, weighing 57 kg, his height was 170 cm. With such data, he first entered the gym and from that time began his rise to the top of strength sports, not only of the domestic, but also of the international class.

Ivan Poddubny

Perhaps there is no more famous strongman in Russia than Ivan Poddubny. He is one of the most prominent professional wrestlers in the world.

During his training, Poddubny paid great attention to running, conditioning and exercises with 2-pound weights. He also did not smoke or drink. During walks, the Russian hero always carried with him a cane that weighed 16 kg.

And although Ivan lost some fights, in 40 years of performances he did not lose a single competition or championship. When Poddubny was already well over 50 years old, he was able to defeat the best wrestlers at competitions in the USA and become the “American champion”.

All his performances were always accompanied by sold-out halls. Even his opponents gave him a standing ovation. That is why he received his famous nickname - “Champion of Champions.”

At the end of his life, Ivan Maksimovich admitted that the only force that could defeat him were women: “All my life they led me astray, a fool.”

During the occupation of Yeysk by German troops in 1941-1943, Ivan Poddubny continued to defiantly wear his Order of the Red Banner of Labor, received in 1939.

In 1924, 53-year-old Poddubny lost a fight to Ryazan wrestler Ivan Chufistov. This was their second meeting; Poddubny won the first. After the fight, he said to his opponent: “Eh, Vanka, I lost not to you, but to my old age.”

In the history of Russia there are, perhaps, two unique wrestlers and strongmen, whose achievements are simply incredible and recognized throughout the world. These are Ivan Poddubny and Alexander Karelin (read more about him below).
