hidden figures
22 The afterglow ends, the table curtains are closed, potato chips are served with Coke, and the goblets are all romantic. - At the beginning of the introduction, a black girl named Caitlin took a chalk and gave a second to a question that was not in the same class under the eyes of the teacher and classmates. From this, it is also destined for the girl's future to be extraordinary, but the focus of the future is not The girl's ability, but her skin, has made her suffer from prejudice and ridicule, and she has to work hard. All kinds of events, big and small, have instructed this "you are a black person, you are not worthy of the signal", which is chilling. With the switch of the camera, what catches the eye is the grown-up Catherine, and the next two heroines are Dorothy Vaughan, who is interested in machinery and computers, and Mary, who has multiple degrees and high IQ. Jackson Country Road, their car broke down on the road, unable to move, and the subsequent arrival of the police car showed their extreme lowliness in their hearts, and they arranged to check their ID cards one by one. I heard that it was NASA employees who were able to let it go, but what I didn't know was that they came from more than 20 miles by car for the dream of God. Why don't they live in a close house? Because of segregation, Virginia, it's still a segregated state. Where did they come to nasa to work, not in palatial office buildings, but half a mile away called a dark, damp basement and unmanaged , The superiors only come to distribute the work, stipulate the inspection results, live like a mechanical tool person, do not complain, do not worry, and work diligently. On that day, some departments of NASA had few people, and the secretary really had no manpower to find "garbage" in the west area. There was no pay. Catherine, who was good at mathematics, and Mary Jackson, who was good in engineering, were selected because of their own value. You can show off your skills, but you don’t know that prejudice has entered the bone marrow here, poisoned, and turned black. You think Caiyun has seen light, but it is an illusion that a storm is coming. Later, only Dorothy Vaughn stayed in the West District. Although she was envious, she could not be without her, who did not pay her supervisor's salary but was in front of her, but do you think she would give in? At the same time, Mary, who had just entered the Mercury Test Airport, was doing a regular job. The person in charge, Jesslinky, appreciated her invitation to participate in an engineer training. Mary could only refuse to say: I am a person of color. At that time, when Katherine, who had just arrived here and had never recruited "people of color", faced a lot of rules and entered the space project team, the first sentence she encountered when she opened the door was "Last night's garbage didn't arrive. ", the man casually stuffed him with garbage, this is the world's prejudice and disapproval of these three sisters, they are not true liking, they will be willing to bow down, whoever TM is treated with indifference and ridicule. This is just the beginning. When she wants to go to the toilet, she asks the secretary where the toilet is and receives "There is no toilet for you here." But even in the face of such difficulties, Catherine didn't care, and took you to pick up the report and ran upstairs to the floor Down, half a mile from the basement to use the toilet. Not only that, after returning upstairs, working hard and pouring another cup of coffee, all the people stared at him, as if telling you with their eyes that you are not worthy~ This is also caused by prejudice and disapproval. Prejudice is like a man who is hurt by love. It has been deeply ingrained. If you want to change, you want to break these rules, fixed thinking, pursue poetry and distance, and pursue the direction of your dreams. what should you do? Lu Xun once said, "If you don't break out in silence, you will die in silence". Catherine she exploded. Relying on the simple information that he played at random, the content that was scratched was visible, and he accurately calculated the data that redstone could not support orbital flight on the blackboard. It is gold, and the value will always flash before the eyes. Catherine worked day and night, calculating the exams that were randomly discarded for him, and finally one day, she broke out. It was raining that day, she braved the rain, held the report, came back in the rain and was asked "where did you go, it's so slow to go to the bathroom" she was furious "there are no bathrooms for people of color in this building, half of it." There are no buildings miles away, I have to walk, I can't ride. You know what? Uniforms, high heels, pearl necklaces that you can't afford with your salary, I work day and night like a dog, relying on you to even touch Make coffee and stay awake even if you don't want to touch it." She was really angry, and I was also angry. At the same time I ask myself what is the value, is the so-called value being trampled on like this? The next day, Jaslynji smashed the colored toilets and said, "There are no colored toilets here, nor white toilets, just ordinary ones." This is the value, just like Einstein said in his life that there is value only in the struggle, you don't need to shine everywhere, you just need to do your best, not be afraid of difficulties, look for the goal, the direction will be in front of you. Later, she was conscientious and had many different opinions, but was rejected by an assistant and despised "you are not worthy" and could not participate in the confidential meeting. But Jaslynkey saw that, when Katrin was expressing her insights on Glenn's orbit, he made an exception and agreed that she would join the meeting. For rejecting people of color. Finally, when Vaughn became IBM's new computer agent, she didn't need mental computing from it, but did it just quit? not at all. When the spacecraft was about to launch and received a different information from yesterday's calculation result from today's, the astronauts asked Catherine to come back and calculate the result. Catlin received the notification from the assistant, and immediately counted, and told the astronauts that the result was fine today, and that in the end, there were a few more decimal points than the IBM system. Only then did the astronaut feel at ease grasping the hem of her skirt in the palm of Katrin's hand, and staring nervously into the sky, because this is also her dream, and there are side plots of the two sisters Vaughn and Mary, so I won't tell you. Because I'll start by doing an in-depth analysis of Katrin's story. According to the 1980s, racial discrimination was still a big problem, as terrible as flies eat meat. This is not just a prejudice against black skin, but a prejudice against all races except white-skinned people, and the biggest prejudice against women. The unhappy three sisters Katrin have always been hidden by the prejudice of the world, and they can't make a shot. And Hegel said in the book "Logic" that when people in the world are more prejudiced, they begin to accept it gradually until they endure it silently. Otherwise, the three Katrin sisters lingered silently and glowed in the eyes of the world. The first step of the value system is reflected in whether you take the first step, whether you dare to be impulsive and dare to pursue. But on the road, the direction you look up is what you can’t see when you look down, and you can’t appreciate the scenery when you look down, there are always twists and turns, and the loneliness brought by the long distance, so we should be like Catherine “not only do i wear skirt, but also i wear glass”. Don't deny yourself, don't think too much, and don't stand still. Because the door of the road ahead has been opened, we just have to be unyielding to anyone, be ourselves, do what you should do, love some people you love who love you, and watch some ponderable scenery you love to see.
I deeply remember that in the book "The Power of Now" there is an ABC theory, A is the event that triggers your emotions, despising your mood or your interpretation of things. C is the result, your negative emotions. Usually, when people don't like C, they go to A's ballast, especially those involved in creating A. So we are exhausted every day, dealing with, blocking, moderating, communicating, and coordinating A and the people, things, and things related to A. But we don't know that B is something you can't fully control and change, and it's not A that triggers C, it's B. The same thing, some happy and some sad. Why? It's just a different way of interpreting things. Instead of changing external people and things, it is easier to change our own hearts. Therefore, when the three Catlin sisters were unable to change the c (the attitude of the world), they could only try to change the B (inner dynamics) to adjust and improve the surrounding environment. And you will find that when you change the state of your heart, the environment will also change accordingly, which is called "Transferring from the Heart". With the horn of love, go ahead desperately, and leave the rest to God. Facing the world, what you gain is joys and sorrows, love life, record laughter, embrace yourself, and give the answer of "Hello tomorrow"~
