When Beethoven lived in Vienna, the Duke and Duchess of Li Xi Novsky took care of him in many ways, and Beethoven was very grateful from the heart. But not long after, Beethoven found that he did not regard himself as a true friend, but as a treasure at home, and felt that his personality was greatly insulted.

Once, a guest came to the duke's manor. This guest was an officer of Napoleon's army who occupied Vienna at that time. The duke wanted to show off his "family heirloom" in front of the guests, so he asked Beethoven to play for them, but Beethoven refused. The duke felt that he could not leave the stage, so he personally invited him and said a lot to express his gratitude to Beethoven in the past.

Beethoven listened and left in the heavy rain without saying a word. As soon as he got home, he smashed the bust given to him by the duke and wrote him a letter, which said, "Duke, you are you because of your unexpected birth, and I am me because of myself." Duke has it now and will have it in the future, while Beethoven has only one. "

American scientist Edison said: "My philosophy of life is work. I want to reveal the secrets of nature and benefit mankind. In our short life, I don't know what is better than this kind of service. "

Indeed, Edison's life is to "benefit mankind" as his own responsibility and strive for it. Edison went to school for only three months and was completely self-taught. He works almost sixteen or seventeen hours a day. At the age of 30, he invented the phonograph, and at the age of 32, he invented the "light of the world"-the electric lamp.

Every time Edison invented something, he had to go through a hard struggle. Take the invention of electric light as an example. He spent nearly two years working twenty hours a day, sometimes even twenty-six hours in a row. When he is tired, he will lie down in the laboratory for a while. The key to making electric lamps is to find a suitable material. Edison tried more than 1600 materials, and finally chose the carbon filament made of bamboo as the filament.

Edison devoted his whole life to science. He made more than 1000 inventions in his life. His obligation is to benefit mankind, which can be said to be truly fulfilled.

3.lenin

Lenin was an honest boy when he was a child. On one occasion, he visited menstruation's house. While everyone was playing hide-and-seek games, Lenin accidentally broke a big glass bottle that my aunt especially liked.

When my aunt found out, she asked the child who broke it. The children refused to admit it, and Lenin was embarrassed to admit that the cat broke the bottle. My aunt looked at Lenin and said, "To be a good child, you must be honest first." That's right. We didn't pursue this matter.

After returning home, Lenin tossed and turned in bed at night, deeply blaming himself for lying in menstruation's house. Then his mother came to see him, and he cried and told his mother the fact of breaking the glass bottle. Mom saw that he was honest and lovely and didn't blame him. She promised to write and tell menstruation about it, and comforted him that menstruation would certainly forgive him. After listening to his mother's words, Lenin fell asleep peacefully.

4. Pushkin

Pushkin, a great Russian poet, was thirty-two when he got married. His wife Natalia gushed out with fresh water. Every time she finished writing a poem, she happily ran to Natalya to recite it and ask her for advice, but Natalya had no poetic accomplishment and didn't know her husband's occupation. If I hate my son, I don't understand these things.

Her interest is only in dancing, and she is bent on studying how to dress herself with the most fashionable clothes and how to participate in the exchanges of high society. Pushkin is very grateful to her. In particular, he spent a lot of precious time dancing with her, eating and going out of high society. Pushkin felt an indescribable pain. He wrote to his friend anxiously and said:

"Because of my worries about life, I have no time to feel lonely. But I lost my freedom and celibacy in writing. My wife always dresses up in fashion and often goes out in the social world ..... A brilliant and outstanding poet, but almost all her creations have stopped because of her.

Because Pushkin repeatedly wrote poems to castigate the czar's tyranny, the czar's government took advantage of Natalie's weakness and said that she was having an affair with an officer. Pushkin was angered, dueled with the officer and was shot. This young poet used his courage and wisdom to make his enemies tremble, but he lost his mind in the face of love and unfortunately died young. This is not sad.

5. Goethe

Goethe became famous in his twenties, became a minister of state in his early thirties and lived a noble life all his life. Schiller, ten years younger than him, had a rough life. Although Schiller was famous in the literary world when he was in his twenties, poverty and illness always accompanied him. Nevertheless, Goethe and Schiller maintained a sincere friendship.

Schiller's friendship and diligence made Goethe start from wealth and enjoyment, pick up a pen and write again. The appearance of many famous works, including Faust, is inseparable from Schiller's influence.

Goethe said to Schiller affectionately, "You gave me a second youth and made me a poet again-I am no longer a poet." Encouraged by his friends, Schiller completed his last masterpiece William Tuy despite his illness. The material of this work is provided by Goethe.

Together, they published Goddess magazine, co-sponsored the literary publication Steam Wheel, and * * * published the poetry collection Ke Seenyen. Often, one person thinks, one person drafts, the other person modifies and polishes, and then publishes. The power of mutual assistance makes their literary works shine brilliantly.

Goethe was deeply saddened by Schiller's death. He said, "Now I have lost my friends, so I have lost half of my existence." . Twenty-seven years later, Goethe also completed his earthly journey and slept peacefully beside Schiller.
