[United States] Cornings
I couldn't believe my eyes, and I looked at the staff task card in the newspaper office again: David?Cornings - Interview with Eleanor?Roosevelt.
It's just an unreasonable idea: I have only been a member of the "Western News" newspaper for a few months, and I am still a "novice" who is just fledgling.Maybe it was a typo, so I ran to find the responsible editor.
It was an October day in 1960, and the campus of Western Illinois University was extraordinarily alive: Homecoming was approaching.I finally found him and he was busy.
"I just saw the task card in the office. I think someone must have made a mistake." I paused, feeling in the way: "It is said that I want to interview Mrs. Roosevelt who visited our college."
The editor in charge stopped what he was doing and smiled at me: "No mistake. We appreciated your performance in interviewing that Professor Harwood. Now, we want you to take on a more important task. Just report your interview the day after tomorrow. Just drop it off at my office. Good luck, lad!"
"Good luck!" said lightly.That's fine if one's playing football or rehearsing a play or something.But I was sent to interview the wife of the former president, a world-famous figure!Eleanor?Not only did Roosevelt and Franklin? D?Roosevelt spent his age together, and he also had success and fame.And I'm going to interview her!
I hurried straight to the library, plunged into the pile of books, and spent an entire hour looking for what I needed.I mastered them word for word and sentence by word, sucking on spiritual nourishment eagerly, and even forgot to eat.
The bookcase is full of cards.I carefully placed the questions in order so that at least one of them was different from anything she had answered before.Finally, I finally have a plan in my chest.It was night, and when I returned home excitedly, I couldn't wait for the upcoming interview.
My conversation with Mrs. Roosevelt took place in a particularly chic and elegantly furnished room in the Student Union Center.When I entered, the 75-year-old lady was already seated, but as soon as she saw me, she got up and shook my hand.Her burly figure, sharp eyes, and kind smile left an indelible impression on people.
After I sat down next to her, I took the lead in asking what I thought was a unique question:
"Madam, who do you find most interesting among the people you have met?"
This question is really well asked, and I have already estimated the answer, and I have listed a long list of names.Whether she answered her husband Roosevelt, or Churchill, Helen?Keller, or Eisenhower, I could ask a number of questions without thinking about her choice of characters.Yes, I do not fight unprepared.
Eleanor smiled slightly: "David? Cornings." I didn't expect her answer, "Yes, I will definitely choose you: David, Cornings."
I couldn't believe my ears.Pick me?What are you kidding?
"Well, ma'am," I finally managed, "I don't understand what you mean."
"Meeting a stranger and starting a relationship is the most interesting part of life," she says with emotion. The degree of being shy. Then I forced myself to welcome others into my world—forced myself to live, and finally realized how invigorating it is to make new friends.”
My one-hour interview with Mrs. Roosevelt came to an end in the blink of an eye.She put me at ease right from the start.Throughout the interview process, I was free and satisfied.
Me to Eleanor?Mrs. Roosevelt won the National Student Journalism Award when her coverage appeared in the press.However, the most important thing is the philosophy of life put forward by Mrs. Roosevelt, which was later quoted as my motto--to live.
Going to life and making new friends has given value to my life and added joy.
【Together with you】
There is a kind of spirit, which is the direction for us to move forward forever; there is a kind of sublime, which is worthy of our eternal admiration; there is a kind of broadness, which is our barrier against humbleness;As long as we are willing to go to life and face all difficulties with optimism, we will find that life is meaningful and valuable.In order to be continuously happy, you need to: ([-]) be good at being content with the status quo; ([-]) be happy to feel: "Things could have been worse."
