The Spring Festival Gala is a very popular show during Chinese New Year. In recent years, the"Yang Bot" show made many people interested. It became one of the most talked-about programs. It was made by Unitree Robotics. This company is really good at making robots. The person behind this great thing is Wang Xingxing. He is the founder of Unitree Robotics, and his story can teach us a lot.
Wang Xingxing liked robots very much when he was a kid. This strong interest made him study things about robots hard. When he went to college, he chose mechanical engineering. He had a clear dream: to make something new in the robotics industry. In college, he didn't just learn from textbooks. He often went to the library to find new books and research about robots. When he had problems in study or experiments, he was brave and faced them. He knew that only by facing problems could he get better.
After graduating, Wang Xingxing started his own company, Unitree Robotics. At first, it was very hard. There was not enough money, and it was difficult to find good team members. But he didn't give up. He used his own money to rent a small workshop and looked for people who thought the same way.
He believed in his idea for Unitree Robotics. He wanted to make robots that could do hard jobs and talk to people well. To do this, he needed a team with different skills. So he talked to many people, looking for those who loved robotics and could design.
When making the company's products, there were lots of technical problems. For example, making robots balance and move easily was very hard. Wang Xingxing and his team worked long hours to fix and make the programs better. Sometimes they worked all night because they wanted to be successful.
After some time, Unitree Robotics became famous. Their products were used in many places, like entertainment, rescue, and delivery. This was a big step for Wang Xingxing and his team. But he knew it was just the start.
Now, Unitree Robotics is becoming a well - known brand around the world because of Wang Xingxing's strong will and good leadership.
Once there was a King who had everything, a rich kingdom, kind wife, nice children but was still unhappy.
Once he reached a small village where a potter（陶工）was selling pots outside the temple. At the potter' s stand, some pots were filled with water and Potter was singing happily while lying comfortably near his stand.
King came to a temple and after coming out of the temple, he saw the potter and sat near him. Potter offered water to King with respect.
King was impressed by the potter's happiness. Sitting beside him, King watched for a while and started thinking that potter made little money in his work.
Thinking about it, King said to Potter, "Brother, will you come with me to the city?"
Potter replied, "What will I do after going to the city?"
King said, "Well, there you can make lots of pots, more than you make here. "
Potter asked, "Then what will I do with those pots?"
King replied, "You will be able to earn a lot of money by selling them.
Potter asked, "Then what will I do with that money?"
King surprised by his question, said, "What will you do with money? Money is everything. " Now, Potter asked, "Now, you tell me what I will do with that money. "
King said, "You can live a comfortable and happy life. "
Listening to this, potter questioned to King, "Sorry, ____ ?"
King got silent, as if this question shocked him.
Then after a while, King said, "Yes, you are lying comfortably at this moment and as far as I can see you are in complete happiness. "
Potter smiled and said, "Yes. That's what I am telling you that happiness can't be bought with money. "
The biggest reason for most people's unhappiness is that whatever they have, they are not happy in it and they are sad about getting what they don't have.
