"Eyes" and "brains" of the distance: Two children left their homes and stole some fruit and dairy products, then went to the field to play. At that time there was no way to preserve food; watching the leftover food spoil in the sun, ugg black classic short, they had no other way. Later, the two children went to school, and they are still good friends. Once, while walking along a frozen lake, one child suddenly called out to Tudor and said, "Do you remember stealing food from home to eat outside?" The other child replied, "Of course I remember, but it's a pity that the rest of the food spoiled!" Pointing to the lake, Tudor asked, "See that ice over there?" "Here in winter, it’s full of ice, no fuss," Tudor said excitedly, "Why don't we collect these ice blocks and transport them to some hot Caribbean ports to be sold?" The child laughed and said, "Don't be silly, by the time we get there, the ice will have melted into water!" Perhaps Tudor's eyes were still fixed on the ice on the lake. A few years later, that is, in 1806, 21-year-old Tudor again sought a friend wanting to partner with him in selling ice, but his friend refused him once more and persuaded him to stick to something more practical. Later, with funding from someone else, Tudor shipped 130 tons of ice to the hot island of Martinique at a cost of 1 million dollars. Since then, within 15 years' time, the ice business became a world industry wherever ships could reach, enabling people to enjoy iced drinks, ice-preserved meat, fruit, UGG slippers, even in places like Tibet. By 1858, Tudor had loaded 150,000 tons of ice onto 380 ships bound for the United States, China, the Philippines, Australia, and more than 50 other countries and regions, while Tudor himself became the world's Ice King and a billionaire. Tudor inspired scientists, black uggs short, which eventually led to the advent of the refrigerator. Meanwhile, that friend was still living an ordinary life, never expecting that the person who ignored the idea of ice would achieve such great success in realizing a dream. Perhaps the difference between genius and ordinary people lies in a pair of eyes and a heart. For certain things, some people only see the surface and think of the present, while others can see through to the essence and think of the future. Polish your eyes, open your mind to seize every opportunity in life, and I believe you will welcome the dawn of success!
