Monsters University is an animated film produced by Pixar, but the film's angle is very special.
Monsters have to collect the screams of children to get energy to meet the energy needs of the monster world.
And in their eyes, people are poisonous, so they can't touch people's bodies, and they can't be discovered by adults, because they will call the police, so that the police will find out about the existence of monsters and destroy the entire monster world.
Mike's dream is to attend Monsters University's Horror Academy, graduate with honors, and become a good Scare Commissioner.
Although he studied very hard and knew all the frightening knowledge, because he was short and had a big eye, all the monsters would only think that he was cute and not terrifying.
The dean of the Horror Academy believed that horror was the only measure of a good student, so despite Mike's good academic performance, he was expelled.
Mike wants to prove himself by participating in the Scare Contest, but the contest stipulates that he must sign up as a team of six. So it joined the Woodsma Brotherhood.
The first round was the "Toxic Challenge".
From the start to the finish line, there are poisonous red thorn balls, and whichever team crosses the finish line first wins.
While Mike and another member, Sullivan, finished second, the rest of the team came in. Originally they had been eliminated, but the second team was fired due to being found to be cheating with protective glue. So the Woodsma Brotherhood moved into the next round because of luck.
The second game is to secretly remove the flag hanging in the library hall, but not to be caught by the librarian.
When Sullivan broke away from the line and went to pick up the flag alone, he fell to the ground with a ladder.
Just as it was about to be caught by the nearsighted librarian, the other members of the Woozma Brotherhood interfered with the librarian by making "snapping" sounds, singing loudly, and rolling around the librarian, and although they were eventually driven out, one of the members quietly got the flag, so several of them made it to the next round.
Under Mike's training guidance, they passed the intimidation maze and hiding competition, becoming the only team that could compete with the "Roaring Brotherhood".
In the Finals, Mike performed very well, it succeeded in scaring the child and collecting the screaming energy of the full grid. They managed to finish first.
Just as Sullivan pulled it to the celebration, Mike stared at the simulated robot and said, "I finally did it!"
It was ready to try its startle skill again, but just by gently emitting a "boom" word, the simulated robot emitted a full grid of screaming energy.
Mike didn't believe his abilities were so prominent, he snapped his fingers softly again, and the simulated robot emitted a full burst of screaming energy.
That's when Mike discovers that the device has been modified and that Sullivan did it.
Sullivan was afraid that Mike wouldn't be scary enough to let the whole team lose the game, so he changed the device.
Mike was angry, and he wanted to prove his prowess. So it stole the access card of the laboratory staff and broke into the door into the human world.
But the world inside the door is not a sleeping child, but many sleeping children, which is a dormitory.
He wanted to scare a sleeping little girl, but the little girl saw that he was not at all frightened, said that he was a funny little green man, and woke up the other companions to come to see him.
Everyone called the police, and soon the police came and tried to catch Mike.
Sullivan, who saw all this outside the door, broke in despite the professor's objections.
In order to escape the police, they broke into a room, and unless they frightened the people who were pursuing them and gathered enough energy, they could not return to the monster world.
But they had never scared an adult before, Sullivan said he couldn't do it, and Mike encouraged him to give it a try.
The two monsters hide in the room, creating a terrifying atmosphere by creating the song of the ragdoll, the sharp paw prints, the huge figure, and the sound of things knocking down.
Then Sullivan suddenly appeared and let out a ferocious roar, frightening all the policemen into screaming.
Not only did the two of them return to the monster world, but they also collected all the energy from the screaming cans in the lab to a full grid, eventually causing an explosion.
The Dean gets the other siblings of Woodsma back into the Horror Academy, but they are fired because Sullivan and Mike cheat.
But Mike found another way to get into the Scare Factory: starting with the mailroom of the company that joined Monsters.
They did a great job as a transceiver, and later participated in the Fright Commissioner Selection Contest, eventually becoming a real Scare Commissioner.
No single factor can determine a person's life.
Just like Mike, although it looks short and cute, it will not make people feel terrible no matter how you look at it.
But it's physically flexible and mentally intelligent.
As early as when he visited the Scare Factory as a child, he hid himself by using the tallness of the trolley because of his short stature, and experienced a real process of collecting screaming energy with the Scare Commissioner.
When it went to Monsters University, it used its cleverness to kick over the trash can and let its competitor, the mascot of the Horror Engineering University, cast itself into the net and successfully caught it.
It also learned a lot of frightening knowledge, so it can lead the team through the level;
When breaking into the human world and facing the police, it helps Sullivan scare the police by creating a horror atmosphere and collecting enough screaming energy.
Even after being expelled from school, it found another way to become a scare commissioner — starting with working as a mailroom worker.
So even if its body is not tall and scary, even if it has a big cute eye, it has many other specialties that can make up for its shortcomings in body.
In addition, on its road to success, there are not only its own efforts, but also luck, the help of peers and the recruitment notice of the frightened factory.
Therefore, a person's success and failure are formed by a combination of multiple factors: there are innate genetic factors, acquired efforts, there is the influence of the social environment and cultural environment, as well as the perspective of looking at problems, their subconscious and their own temperament and personality factors.
Therefore, for the success of others, do not over-amplify his own ability, it may also be genetic, or coincidence;
Don't blame yourself for your failures. It may also be due to external environmental reasons, family genetic reasons, or the unsuitability of one's own temperament and personality.
This helps us to look at the world rationally: victory is not arrogance.
