英語寫作中，爲了更好的把主旨表達出來，我們經常會用名人來舉例子，那麼古今中外，有哪些名人可以作爲例子來表達呢?小編爲大家整理了幾個例子。
Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bryant can be a good case of how diligence works in our life. When asked by one of his friends that what is the secret of his success, he replied with humor and implication that，"Do you know how Los Angelos looks like at 4 o'clock AM ? I know."Obviously, how could he, one of the greatest basketball players throughout the history of mankind who was once deemed not appropriate for playing basketball, have achieved unprecedented success in NBA without diligence ?
科比.布萊恩特是一個證明勤奮是如何起作用的很好的例子。當被他的一個好朋友問到他成功的祕訣的時候，他幽默而又意義深遠地回答到："你知道洛杉磯凌晨四點的樣子嗎?我知道。"很明顯，這位曾經被認爲不太適合打籃球的、人類歷史上最偉大的籃球運動員之一的科比，如果沒有勤奮的話，怎麼可能在美職籃獲得史無前例的成功呢?
Steve Jobs
For another, many of today's business success or miracle can be ascribed to innovation. Take Steve Jobs as a case in point, as a member of the mighty ocean of electronic products, if he had not invented innovative devices such as Ipad and Iphone，he could not have achieved great success in the global market and even changed the way people communicate, recreate and live.
另外，很多當今世界的.商業成功和奇蹟都可以歸因於創業，以史蒂夫.喬布斯爲例，作爲浩瀚的電子產品海洋中的一員，如果他沒有發明諸如Ipad，Iphone這樣創新的設備，他是不太可能在全球市場取得成功甚至改變人們的通訊、娛樂和生活方式的。
主題詞：個性 individuality
Just imagine why Apple's products could be widely and deeply supported by consumers among other similar products, it is not their appearance and price, but their distinctive function，that couts.
試想一下，爲何蘋果公司的產品能夠在諸多的同類產品中深受消費者的喜歡，不在於他們的外形和價格，而在於他們與衆不同的功能。
Thomas Edison
Thomas Edison，one of the greates inventors and entrepreneurs throughout the history of mankind, could be best case of how persistence works in the course of pursuing success. Just imagine, having experienced thousands of times of unsuccessful attempts, how could he have succeeded in inventing the first electric lamp and changed the world without persistence?
主題詞：耐心
To further illustrate the importance of being patient, I would like to take Thomas Edison as a case in point: as one of the greatest inventors throughout the history of mankind who experienced thousands of times of unsuccessful attempts in the course of scientific inquiry, how could he have invented the first electric lamp and changed the world without patience and persistence ?
爲了進一步證明能夠耐心的重要性，我想以托馬斯.愛迪生作爲例子：作爲人類歷史上最爲的、在科學探索中經歷數以千次的失敗嘗試的發明家，如果沒有耐心和堅持，他如何能夠發明出第一盞電燈並且改變世界?
人類歷史上最偉大的發明家、企業家之一的愛迪生就是堅持如何在追求成功的過程中起作用的最好的例子。試想一下，如果沒有堅持，他如何能夠在經歷了數以千計的失敗的嘗試後依舊不放棄，直至最後發明出第一盞點燈並改變全世界呢?
George Bush
Besides, surveys conducted by some biographers have also demonstrated that almost all of the great men and celebrities have built their mansion of success on the bedrock of adversities. Take Georgia Washiton, one of the greatest founding fathers of the United States of America, as a case in point：to break away from the British Empire and became an independent country，he led the American War of Independence. However，problems and challenges such as inexperience of war, adverse weather condition, shortage of ammunition and smallbox arose. Confronted with such an adversity, he became more mature and composed, and then won the Revolutionary War finally through his courage and wisdom resulted from supassing adversity.
而且，由一些傳記作者展開的調查也已經發現，幾乎所有的偉大的人物和名人都將自己成功的大廈建立在逆境的基石上。以美國最偉大的開國之父之一喬治亞.華盛頓爲例，爲了脫離英國的殖民統治，建立一個獨立的國家，他領導了美國獨立戰爭。但卻遇到了諸如戰爭經驗不足、氣候條件惡劣、不足及天花肆虐等各種問題和挑戰。面對這樣的逆境，華盛頓變得更加成熟鎮定，並最終用自己戰勝逆境的勇氣和智慧，贏得了這場戰爭的最後勝利。
