The right choice not only changes a person's life but also affects the entire world. At crucial turning points in life, what drives them to make such choices? How do these choices impact their lives and even the world? At pivotal moments in life, Bill Gates insisted on withdrawing from Harvard University; Lu Xun resolved to abandon medicine for literature; Marie Curie freely shared her scientific discoveries with the world; Sima Qian, despite enduring great humiliation, chose to live a meaningful life; Alfred Nobel dedicated his entire fortune to the cause of peace and development for humanity; George Washington, after serving two terms as president, announced his withdrawal from the election. Let us follow the author through time and space to experience the astonishing moments when these outstanding figures made their life-changing choices!
The journey of life is long, but the key moments are few. How these moments are navigated determines whether a person will ultimately be great or ordinary; happy or miserable. The difference between greatness and ordinariness is often just a small step—or it could be others, or oneself—that easily pushes a person over that edge, one way or another. Throughout life, whether in youth or old age, people face choices, and making the right choice is not an easy task. The significant choices made by these outstanding figures in this book have not only had a profound impact on their personal lives but also on the world. The author sincerely hopes that readers will view this small book as a work of biographical literature.
It is called biographical because all its basic facts are true. If readers wish, they can find the evidence for these facts in published serious biographies, textbooks, and other works. It is called literary because some of the finer details are embellished with literary techniques.
