Never follow the crowd and go your own way.

Margaret stood at the door of the grocery store, her expression unusually determined as she faced the mocking laughter of her female companion as she passed by. Her father's words swirled in her ears: Never follow the crowd, go your own way. And this sentence also runs through her entire political career.
From her firm belief in her political career, to her insistence on participating in elections, some reforms in dealing with the Great Depression, and in dealing with Argentina's aggression against the Falkland Islands, she is exceptionally firm and has her own position every time. In an era of crisis, it is precisely such an iron fist that is needed to save this country from fire and water. And she is the leader and politician born for this era.
In her later years, when reporters interviewed her, they talked about the impact on her life. And she just said lightly: In the past, people always tried to do something, but now they are trying to become a person. The reporter walked away silently. When the doctor treated her, she also mentioned that if the biggest problem in the current situation is that they pay too much attention to feelings, rather than their own thoughts and ideas. In the final analysis, this is such an era of drifting with the crowd. What people think about is how to imitate, how to plagiarize, and see a lot of successful studies and inspirational studies. own potential and ability.
When she decided to run for the prime minister's election, there was a saying that stuck in my mind: never be someone else, let's do something else. Yes, although the power of example is great, it is also limited. Only if you have a firm heart can you make your own achievements.
There is not a day in my life that I have not fought. This was Mrs Thatcher's life. When I read her biography, I remembered a detail. Her daughter saw that her wardrobe was full of formal clothes and asked her what clothes she usually wears. She said that this is what she usually wears. Seeing this, I am reminded of what she said when her husband proposed to her: a person's life must have meaning, more meaningful than cooking, cleaning, and raising children. One's life has to be richer than that, I can't wash the teacup till the end of my life. This is her whole life, always fighting for her ideals and ambitions.
The ending of the story is a little warm and a little tragic. She retired from politics and put on dementia after her husband passed away. She always saw her dead husband in her life, chatting and making her laugh. This is also an easy role. As a husband behind a prime minister, there will definitely be a lot of pressure that ordinary people cannot understand. But when he proposed, the last sentence was equally moving: That's why I want to marry you, dear. With a husband like this, what more could she ask for?
It is such a documentary, although short, but it condenses a woman's life. struggle. Getting married, having children, ending. This is a determined woman who always knows what she wants and is never afraid to do the right thing. I think this is where we should learn.

    The whole film was messy, and in the second half of the Falklands War, I started to cheer up, but I couldn't feel the power. Watching and recalling another "Queen", both emotionally and acting are better. The multi-colored real-power politicians have a good "acting" shell, maybe the queen who has no real power is a better interpretation?

The Iron Lady quotes

  • Margaret Thatcher: It used to be about trying to do something. Now it's about trying to be someone.

  • Alexander Haig: So you are proposing to go to war over these islands. They're thousands of miles away, a handful of citizens, politically and economically insignificant, if you'll excuse me.

    Margaret Thatcher: Just like Hawaii, I imagine.

    Alexander Haig: I'm sorry?

    Margaret Thatcher: 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Did America go cap in hand and ask Tojo for a peaceful negotiation of terms? Did she turn her back on her own citizens there because the islands were thousands of miles from mainland United States? No! No, no! We will stand on principle, or we shall not stand at all.

    Alexander Haig: But Margaret, with all due respect, when one has been to war...

    Margaret Thatcher: With all due respect, sir, I have done battle every single day of my life and many men have underestimated me before. This lot seem bound to do the same, but they will rue the day.
