Born in 1897, Amelia Earhart was seen as "alternative" from an early age. She likes to play rough games with the boys; Reading this book, it is for hours to read, and there is no concept of "rest" in my mind at all; Or suddenly disappear, run for a hike, and disappear for a few days. In the eyes of others, she is a very eccentric person - when she lives on campus, she will run back and forth on the roof in her pajamas, and she is kicked out of the school gate. When it came time to talk about marriage, she felt invisible pressure and extreme uneasiness in her heart, because she hated marriage, and she believed that marriage was a kind of bondage for women, a shackle that restricted the freedom of life. What she wanted was a career, but due to the restrictions of the social environment at the time, all the jobs she tried were boring and boring "brainless" rough jobs, but what she longed for was a very challenging and adventurous career.
In 1920, after an air trip, she suddenly realized that her life's calling was to fly airplanes. Then she went to take a course and became a pilot. Flying in the air represents the freedom she has longed for. Flying an airplane requires courage, a spirit of adventure and challenge, and these fit her character perfectly.
At that time, female pilots were looked down upon, and it was men who broke world flight records, but Earhart, who never gave up, wanted to make a career and dedicate himself to breaking this limitation. In 1932, she became the first female pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic, a dangerous and physically demanding flight. In 1935, as she pondered how to fly over the Gulf of Mexico, one of the most famous male pilots of the time told her that it was too dangerous and that it was worth the risk. But for Earhart, the more challenging it became, the more exciting it became, so she decided to give it a try anyway, and she did a miracle with ease, proving that flying over the Gulf of Mexico is not impossible!
Earhart is the poster child for "resolutely being yourself." When the well-known publisher George Putman proposed to her, she asked Putman to respect and satisfy her various freedoms in life and career, and after Putman signed the contract, the two entered the wedding hall.
People who have met Earhart have commented that the temperament she exhibits is not entirely male, nor is it entirely female, nor even a combination of male and female traits. She was just her own Earhart, a unique individual who had all the qualities she possessed. It's that unique temperament that fascinates; It is that unique temperament that has allowed her to achieve amazing results. In 1937, she embarked on one of the riskiest challenges of her life: flying around the Earth's equator, including a short stop on a small island in the Pacific Ocean. This time, however, she disappeared near the island, and she was never found again. Most importantly, all of this makes up Earhart's legendary life – a "resolutely be yourself" fearless challenger!
Everyone who comes to this world is unique, you have your own thoughts, you have your own talents, you have your own personal charm, you have your own goals in life. But here's the thing: when you show the world all this, there are often people who jump out to hit you, refute you, belittle you, laugh at you, suppress you, because they don't want you to be prominent and powerful. If you can't withstand this pressure and adopt a compromise and surrender attitude, then your "unique self" will be buried forever, and your life will be mediocre. You have to "be yourself" and have the courage to fight back. You have to do whatever it takes to make yourself better and better to prove them wrong and earn the respect they deserve. If you are willing to be mediocre, then the article I am writing today is a worthless waste manuscript for you.
