After the publication of Einstein's Theory of Relativity, someone once wrote a book, One Hundred Refutations of Relativity, and collected a group of so-called celebrities to make a huge refutation of this theory. However, Einstein was confident that his theory would win and rejected the rebuttal. He said: "If my theory is wrong, a rebuttal is enough, and a hundred zeros add up to zero." He strengthened his belief in winning, persisted in his research, and finally made "Theory of Relativity" a great theory in the 20th century, attracting worldwide attention.
Madame Curie and Radium-Only with full confidence can we overcome the immediate difficulties and see a bright future.
In order to extract pure radium, determine its atomic weight, and prove the existence of radium to science, Madame Curie used to wear work clothes covered with dust and stains all day long, stir the smelting pot with iron bars almost as high as her in an extremely simple hut, and look for traces of radium from the asphalt mine waste residue of a mountain. The conditions are extremely difficult, but her heart is full of confidence.
She said to her friends: "We should have perseverance, especially self-confidence! We must believe that our talent is used to do something, and this kind of thing must be done at any cost. " She finally succeeded.
3. Einstein builds self-confidence from vertical comparison-compared with his past self, he gains self-confidence.
When Einstein, a great scientist, was in elementary school, he once finished his homework class, and all his classmates handed in their homework, but Einstein didn't. It was not until the next day that he sent a poorly made small bench. The teacher was very dissatisfied and said, "I don't think there will be a worse bench in the world …" Einstein replied, "Yes." He unhurriedly took out two small benches from under the desk, raised the small bench in his left hand and said, "This is my first time." He raised the small bench in his right hand and said, "this is the second time I have done it ... I just handed it in for the third time." Although it is not satisfactory, it is better than these two. " Einstein's self-confidence was established by longitudinal comparison.
Pu Songling wrote his first book-self-confidence makes people rise from setbacks.
Pu Songling, a famous writer in China, wrote a self-encouragement couplet after failing in the imperial examination: "Where there is a will, there is a way;" If you burn your bridges, 120 Qin Guan will eventually belong to Chu; " Hard-working people, everything comes to him who waits, go forward bravely, and 3 thousand Yue family can swallow Wu. "He didn't lag behind, but he was confident and committed to literary creation, and finally wrote the immortal masterpiece Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio.
Forever regret, immortal promise
The bleak autumn wind gently blows across Wuzhangyuan, and when I look at the extinguished seven-star lamp, I can only sigh. The Northern Expedition has become your eternal regret.
You must remember how carefree it is to have a Song of Fu Liang on Wolong Mountain. You must remember the kindness of Liu Huangshu's three visits to the cottage. You said, "If you are not abandoned by the general, you are willing to do your best." So you bid farewell to the place where you lived for many years, for the promise you made.
So you started using fire in Bowangpo, which scared Cao Jun. When he arrived in Wu Dong, he fought Confucianism, which provoked Zhou Yu to make Liu Bei and Sun Quan as close as lips and teeth. The straw boat borrowed an arrow, which surprised Zhou Yu. In the deep end of the dragon's pool, as safe as Mount Tai, who can match your intelligence? When you were ordered by the defeated army and in danger, you only made a promise and left no regrets.
So you borrowed the east wind from the Seven Star Altar to help Zhou Yu burn Chibi and stop Cao Cao from going south. Take Jingzhou and give Liu Bei and his son a place to live; Seeking a wife will make Wu Dong lose his wife and fold his soldiers; Zhou Yu was so angry that he vomited blood and died. You mediate between heaven and earth, make up for Kun, and let the unpredictable machine of ghosts and gods use the ingenious plan as a promise, leaving no regrets.
So you took Sichuan and Shu in the west and Hanzhong in the north, and made Liu Bei the king of Hanzhong, winning him three points of the world. However, things are unpredictable. Baidicheng, Liu Bei entrusted orphans, and your promise turned into regret. However, you made a promise: "I will do my best to help the late Lord until I die."
So you fought Soochow in the east and Cao Cao in the north. South conquest, seven capture seven vertical, Meng was defeated and convinced; Northern expedition to the Central Plains, the root string retreated Cao Shi, Sima Jun was defeated.
When you come out of Qishan six times, you can achieve great things, and your promise is just around the corner. But god forbid. You know that the Han family will die, and you want to kill a thief, but you can't go back to heaven. "But before he conquered, he died, and from then on, heroes cried on their coats." Your promise turned into regret.
Forever regret, only because of immortal promise; But the immortal promise has left us an immortal history without regrets.
At the beginning of the 20th century, when Xu Beihong was studying in Europe, he met a foreigner who picked things up. The foreigner said, "China people are ignorant and have become the material of the conquered since they were born. Even if you send it to heaven for further study, you can't become a talent! " Xu Beihong replied indignantly: "Well, I represent my motherland and you represent your country. When you graduate from school, you will know who is a talent and who is a fool! " A year later, Xu Beihong's oil paintings were well received by French artists. After that, he won the first prize in many competitions. His solo exhibition caused a sensation in the whole Paris art world. Such amazing achievements are far beyond the reach of that foreigner.
Newton, known as the "father of mechanics", founded calculus in his twenties, discovered the spectrum and put forward the law of universal gravitation. But instead of taking the credit for himself, he said modestly, "If I see farther than Descartes, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants." . Darwin, the founder of the theory of evolution, had a conversation in an interview with British writer Halton: "Your special achievements?" "no" "your main weakness?" "I don't understand mathematics and new languages, lack observation and are not good at logical thinking." "Your academic attitude?" "I worked hard, but I didn't master the learning method." Where are the self-esteem and self-confidence of these two accomplished scientists? "Modesty makes people progress, and pride makes people lag behind", and modesty is the expression of self-esteem and self-confidence.
Seiji Ozawa is a world-famous symphony conductor. In the final of a world-class conductor competition, he played according to the score given by the jury, and keenly found the discordant voice. At first, he thought the band had made a mistake, so he stopped to play again, but it was still wrong. He thinks there is something wrong with music. At this time, the composer present and the authority of the jury insisted that there was absolutely no problem with the score, but he was wrong. Facing a lot of music and authority figures, he thought over and over again, and finally said firmly and loudly, "No! There must be something wrong with the score! " As soon as his voice fell, the judges on the bench immediately stood up and gave him warm applause to congratulate him on winning the game.
It turns out that this is a "trap" carefully designed by the judges to test whether the conductor can stick to his correct opinion when he finds that the score is wrong and is "denied" by the authoritative department. Although the first two conductors who participated in the final also found mistakes, they were eventually eliminated because they echoed the opinions of authoritative people. However, Seiji Ozawa won the world command contest because of his confidence.
A large recruitment company has eliminated several candidates for the interview. At this time, both the interviewer and the interviewee feel a little nervous: if we can't choose qualified candidates today, many jobs will be affected; For the interviewer, if he can work in this well-known national enterprise, his future career development will be immeasurable.
Then a young man walked into the interview office. He saw a small note at the door. Out of habit, the young man bent down to pick it up and threw it into the trash can. After the interview, the president who presided over the interview asked the young man to stay. He told the young man that he could attend the training immediately and formally go to work after passing the training. The young man couldn't believe it himself, because he knew that all the people who entered the interview in this recruitment process were elites, and according to his observation, many of them were above his ability level. Hearing the young man's questions, the president smiled and replied, "That's why I want to talk to you. Your ability level is really not the best among all the applicants, but only you passed the most critical test in the interview-I put that little piece of paper at the door on purpose. "
It's not that people who go to apply with young people don't know the small but obvious paper at the door. For them, picking up a small piece of paper on the ground is as simple as bending over, but they don't think such a trivial thing is worth doing, so they miss the great opportunity to enter the house. In fact, this is not the only important opportunity they missed.
That young man is Henry Ford, the father of American automobile industry. He proved the president's original idea with his own practical actions.
Henry Ford is lucky. His luck lies not only in the fact that he met a president of insight, but also in his earnest spirit of not ignoring every little thing.
David packard said, "Little things make great things, and details make perfect things." Success is accumulated by one little thing and one detail. If we can grasp these details, people can succeed; If you don't pay attention to the accumulation of details and just want to succeed in one fell swoop, it's really daydreaming.
Shanghai Metro Line 1 was designed by Germans, and it seems nothing special. It was not until the second line designed by China designer was put into operation that it was discovered that the original second line ignored so many details. As a result, the operating cost of the second line is much higher than that of the first line, and the balance of payments has not yet been achieved.
There is such a story in ancient China:
There is a village on the bank of the Yellow River. In order to prevent floods, farmers built towering long dams. One day, an old farmer happened to find that the nest suddenly increased a lot. The old farmer thought: Will these ant nests affect the safety of the long embankment? He is going back to the village to report that he met his son on the way. Hearing this, the old farmer's son said disapprovingly, why are you afraid of a few small ants on such a strong long embankment? Then he took the old farmer with him to the fields. It was stormy that night, and the water of the Yellow River soared. The roaring river began to penetrate from the ant nest, then sprayed, and finally washed away the long embankment and flooded large areas of villages and fields along the coast.
This is the origin of the idiom "A levee of a thousand miles, which collapses in an ant nest".
In the summer of 2003, the Yangtze River was hit by a severe flood, and piping occurred in Nanping Town, Gongan County, Jingjiang levee, and the levee was in danger. Several old water conservancy experts were sharp-eyed, promptly judged that piping was caused by termites, and led the masses to take effective measures. After five hours of fighting, the danger was finally eliminated.
Since 1970s, there have been 13 breakwaters and 9 dam breaks in Qingyuan, Guangdong, which have been confirmed.
1. Joule for knowledge
Joule, a famous British scientist, loved physics since he was a child. He often does some experiments about electricity and heat by himself.
One holiday, Joule and his brother traveled to the suburbs. Joule, who is clever and studious, never forgets to do his physics experiments even when he is playing.
He found a lame horse, led by his brother, and quietly hid behind him. He used a volt battery to electrify the horse, trying to see how the animals would react after receiving the current. As a result, the reaction he wanted to see appeared. The horse jumped wildly after being shocked and almost kicked its younger brother.
Although the danger has appeared, it has not affected the mood of little Joule who loves to do experiments. He and giggle rowed to the lake surrounded by mountains, where Joule wanted to try the echo. They loaded the rifle and pulled the trigger. Who knows "bang", a long flame spouted from the muzzle and burned Joule's eyebrows, almost scaring my brother into the lake.
At this time, the sky was covered with thick clouds, lightning and thunder. Joule, who just wanted to go ashore to take shelter from the rain, found that it took a long time to hear the thunder after every lightning. What happened?
Joule didn't take shelter from the rain, dragging his brother up a hill and carefully recording the time of lightning and thunder with his pocket watch.
After school started, Joule almost wanted to tell the teacher all the experiments he had done and ask for advice from the teacher.
The teacher smiled at Joule, who was eager to learn and curious, and patiently explained to him: "The speed and harmony of light are different. The speed of light is fast and the speed of sound is slow, so people always want to see lightning before hearing thunder, but in fact lightning and thunder happen at the same time. "
Joule suddenly realized. Since then, he has been more fascinated by learning scientific knowledge. Through continuous study and careful observation and calculation, he finally discovered the mechanical equivalence of heat and the law of conservation of energy, and became an excellent scientist.
2. Knowledge-self-improvement
Prague, an English physicist, was poor when he was a child. With his unremitting pursuit of his dreams and tenacious efforts, he finally made great achievements. And the poor years he experienced became the driving force that inspired him to move on in the future.
When he was studying at school, his parents could not give him nice clothes and comfortable shoes because of the poor economic conditions at home. He is often in rags, dragging a pair of worn leather shoes that don't match his feet. But young Prague never felt inferior because of poverty, and he never complained that his family could not provide him with superior living conditions. Those oversized shoes look ridiculous on his feet, but he doesn't feel inferior. On the contrary, he cherishes these shoes very much, because they can bring him unlimited motivation.
It turns out that this pair of shoes was given to him by his father. The family is poor, so we can't buy him a pair of comfortable and strong shoes. Even these old leather shoes are his father's. Although the father was also full of guilt, he still gave his son ardent hope, unparalleled encouragement and strong emotional support. His father wrote in his letter ... I'm sorry, son. I hope in a year or two, my shoes won't be too big on your feet. "... I hope that once you achieve something, I will be proud of it, because my son works hard in my broken shoes. ..... "This letter with profound meaning and full of expectation has always been like an invisible force, pushing Prague to walk on the rugged scientific mountain road and step on thorns.
Honesty is more valuable than a thousand cherry trees.
George? Washington has worshipped heroes since he was sensible. He was envious when he saw his brother fighting in the front line in military uniform. One day after dinner, he suddenly thought of a question and hurriedly asked his father, "Dad, I want to be a brave soldier like my brother when I grow up, okay?" "Great, dear boy!" The father replied happily, "But do you know what kind of children can be brave soldiers?" Father asked. "Well-"Washington thought for a moment and replied, "Only honest children can become brave soldiers, right?" "It is. Only by being honest can everyone unite, and unity can defeat the enemy and become a brave warrior. "
Father not only teaches by example, but also attaches great importance to setting an example. On my father's farm, there is a small cherry tree, which my father planted to commemorate the birth of Washington. Little George grows up day by day, and the little cherry tree grows taller year by year. Washington is bent on becoming a powerful soldier when he grows up. Once, he planned to make a small wooden gun and arm himself. He wanted to ask his father for help, but seeing that his father was busy with work all day and had no time, he decided to do it himself. Little Washington picked up a saw and an axe, found a small tree that was easy to cut down, and sawed it down. I didn't know this tree was my father's favorite cherry tree. This is a catastrophe.
Father came back, learned about it, lost his temper and asked who did it. Washington hid in the house and was very scared. After thinking about it, he bravely came out, walked up to him and said with shame, "Dad, yes." "Son, you cut down my favorite cherry tree. Don't you know I will hit you? "
Seeing that his father was still angry, Washington replied, "Dad, didn't you say that if you want to be a soldier, you must first have honest qualities?" What I just told you is the truth. I'm not lying. "
After listening to his son's words, the father was very moved. He realized that the excellent quality of children is more precious than his beloved cherry tree. He hugged Washington and said, "Dad forgives you, son. Admitting a mistake is a heroic act and is more valuable than a thousand cherry trees. "
honest
When Zi Huajun was in primary school, he didn't study hard. Many things seem to distract her. For example, every time she comes home from school, as long as she sees the shadow of her little friend shaking outside the window, she wants to run away and have fun with the children. At this time, my mother put her fist on the table, put forward various requirements for homework, plus the oral test of the homework that day, and she could only play after passing the customs. My mother has always been very strict with the Chinese army and has never compromised. For children with poor self-awareness, only under the supervision of their mothers can they be obedient to their studies.
Probably this method can highly regulate the excitability of nerve cells. Zi Huajun is very efficient in doing his homework under the supervision of his mother, and often meets his mother's requirements effortlessly with high accuracy. Gradually, she also developed the good habit of finishing her homework on time. She is really embarrassed if she is allowed to play if her homework is not finished!
During the winter and summer vacations, my mother never relaxed her requirements. In addition to the homework assigned by the school, Zi Huajun has to finish the homework assigned by her mother. In addition, according to my mother's instructions, I recited Han Yu's Shi Shuo and other ancient texts with my sister.
In the face of such a strict and inhuman mother, Zi Huajun is a little afraid of her. Once, Zi Huajun made a mistake in a math problem, and the teacher made a cross with a red pen. In fact, it's no big deal, but at the thought of her mother being so strict with herself, she hesitated because she was afraid of her mother's criticism. I thought about it, but I secretly changed the fork myself. But afterwards, she was very upset and felt that it violated her mother's usual teaching. After some ideological struggle, I finally told my mother about it and waited for her more severe criticism. However, to Zi Huayun's surprise, her mother did not get angry after listening to her words. Instead, she smiled and praised her for taking the initiative to admit her mistake, and then pointed out: "Lying is the most shameful thing, and all bad things are caused by dishonesty." Finally, mom, tell me why she is wrong.
By doing so, a mother can not only educate her children well, but also take care of Zi Huajun's self-esteem.
modest
When adolf. Bayer 10 birthday. He thought his parents would celebrate him like the parents of other children. But this day: his mother took him to his grandmother's house early in the morning and stayed there all day without mentioning his birthday at all. Bayer was very unhappy. On the way home, he kept pouting and said nothing. When his mother met him, she said earnestly, "When I gave birth to you, your father was 4 1 year old and still a lout. Now he is 5 1 year old, but like you, he is studying hard and will have an exam tomorrow. I don't want to delay his study because of your birthday. Time is too precious for him. You are still young, learn to cherish it. "
Mother's words, like rain and dew, moisten Bayer's young heart bit by bit. Later, he recalled: "This is the most generous gift my mother gave me on my 10 birthday."
When Bayer was studying at the university, the name of Professor Jaragu, an organic chemist, spread all over Germany. However, the professor was still very young. Some scientific retirees always criticize him with such and such questions. One day, Bayer chatted with his father and mentioned Professor Jalagu. Bayer said, "Jalagu is only six years older than me ..." The implication is that this person is nothing.
Father is very dissatisfied. He said to Bayer, "How about being six years older? Isn't it worth learning? " ? When I studied geology, all the teachers were 30 years younger than me. I respectfully call them teachers and listen to their lectures carefully. You should remember that age and knowledge are not necessarily proportional. No matter who you are, as long as you have knowledge, you should learn from him humbly. "
love one's country
Since 1974, Zhao Dayu, a famous football player, has applied for the provincial professional football team several times, but he was unsuccessful because of his short stature. Repeated failures made him feel confused and depressed. At this time, Zhao Dayu's father felt even worse. What parents don't want their children to be surprised? But he deeply understands that it is terrible for a person to lose opportunities, and it is even more terrible to lose faith. What his son needs at this moment is encouragement and support.
Therefore, he tried to control his feelings. In order not to let his son lose confidence and give up his efforts, he told his son the story of "suffering hardships" and encouraged his son to bite the bullet, not to give up easily and to be a man of backbone. He also introduced the story of football player Hu to his son. Although he is small, he joined the national team because he plays the ball very well. He also took his son to see a Guangdong star, asked him to introduce a little person to the unique skills of playing a big man, and tried every means to make his son establish such a belief: "As long as you are better than others, someone will definitely want it."
With the encouragement and support of his father, Zhao Dayu regained his confidence and never gave up his efforts. Finally, the efforts have gained the initial harvest. 1975, Zhao Dayu joined the Guangzhou team and participated in the National Youth Championship. At this time, my father was admitted to hospital due to illness. Faced with such a sudden change, the father still did not give up the desire to let his son continue to work hard. He asked his son to keep confidence, continue to struggle and never delay training because of himself. This is his greatest and only wish as a father!
Where there is a will, there is a way. With his unremitting efforts, Zhao Dayu, a little guy, finally entered the national team and struggled on the court for the "turn over" of China football. He realized his desire to win glory for his country.
The details determine success or failure. "I first saw this sentence at a roadside bookstall. I was a little curious, so I picked it up and browsed the first few pages of the catalogue and the book. But I didn't give up ten dollars in my pocket to read such a pirated book, but chose to download free e-books online. Finally, it's a bit like "books must be borrowed and unreadable", but I can't fully understand it.
Some things seem to have a bad memory. What we learn in class is only for teachers and exams. When we waved out of the examination room, we almost forgot what we were taking and returned everything to the teacher. When we throw our bachelor's hats into the sky to show our complaints about learning, we also throw the theories we have learned to the outside world.
When we step into the door of work, it seems that we have a newer and deeper understanding of this sentence. The simplest thing I remember is the eight words "visit and study, visit and guide". It is said that there are some differences in the details between the German-designed Metro Line 1 and the China-designed Metro Line 2, which eventually leads to high operating costs in the later period. But I finally saw this introduction yesterday. I really admire it.
I also have my own views on details and success or failure. I think details should be necessary, but they are not sufficient conditions for success or failure. Any success should be the result of all aspects, not a simple detail, but if we want to succeed, we can't let go of any detail.
Life may experience success and failure again and again, but it will only affect you to varying degrees. Super girls go to the end in pk, and they become stars. From then on, they take their lives to another realm and live a life of two worlds. Similarly, we may miss the bus because we got up late and suffered a failure.
At the sea level of life, no one can capsize forever. What we should do is to focus on the key "battle", pay attention to its details, and pay attention to all the factors that may capsize us. Don't be like "riding the wind and waves, but capsizing in a small ravine"!
"Details decide success or failure" has sounded the alarm for us. Maybe sometimes we don't pay attention to details, and failure is also a kind of enjoyment of life. But some events make us have no choice but to succeed, so the details can't be ignored!
Die in the nail empire
Charles III and the Duke will fight to the death, and this battle will decide who will rule Britain. On the morning of the battle, Charlie sent a groom to prepare his favorite war horse.
"Hurry up and nail it," the groom said to the blacksmith. "The king wants to take the lead on it."
"You have to wait," replied the blacksmith. "I nailed all the horses in Wang Jun the other day, and now I have to find some iron pieces."
I can't wait. The groom shouted impatiently.
The blacksmith buried himself in his work, took four horseshoes from an iron bar, flattened them, shaped them, fixed them on the horseshoes, and then began to nail. After nailing three palms, he found that there were no nails to nail the fourth palm. The blacksmith was going to hammer the last horseshoe, but at the urging of the groom, he had to hang the horseshoe under his hoof.
The two armies met, and King Charles was in the army. He took the lead in directing the soldiers to face the enemy. Far away, he saw his soldiers retreating on the other side of the battlefield. If others saw them like this, they would retreat, so Charlie quickly rushed to the gap and called the soldiers to turn and fight. Before halfway, the hanging horseshoe fell, the horse fell to the ground and Charlie was thrown to the ground. The frightened beast jumped up and ran away before the king grabbed the reins. Charlie looked around, his soldiers turned and retreated, and the duke's army surrounded him.
He waved his sword in the air. "Horse!" He shouted: "A horse, my country was subverted because of this horse."
King Richard II of England and Count Ritchie will fight to the death to decide who will rule England. On the day of the decisive battle, Richard sent the groom to prepare the war horse, and the groom asked the blacksmith to pat the king's war horse. The blacksmith said, "I beat all the horses in the army the other day, and all my claws and nails were used up." I am going to fight again. " The groom said impatiently, "I can't wait." What's the use! " So the blacksmith found four old horseshoes and some nails. But the last horseshoe only hit two nails, and the groom couldn't wait, thinking that two nails should be able to catch the horseshoe, so he took the horse away. As a result, on the battlefield, Richard's horse lost a horseshoe, and the horse slipped and threw Richard to the ground. Richard was captured alive by Count Richie, and his kingdom collapsed. Later, people commented that details determine success or failure, and the empire died of nails.
Zhuge Liang studied under Mr. Si Mahui, a water mirror, when he was a teenager. Zhuge Liang studied hard and used his head diligently. Not only Si Mahui appreciates him, but also Si Mahui's wife values him very much. She likes this studious and brainy boy. At that time, there were no clocks, and time was recorded by sundials. There is no sun on rainy days. Time is not easy to grasp. In order to record time, Si Mahui trained cock to crow on time by feeding regularly. In order to learn more, Zhuge Liang wanted Mr. Wang to extend the lecture time, but Mr. Wang always relied on the crow, so Zhuge Liang thought: if the crow time is extended, Mr. Wang's lecture time will be extended. So he brought some food in his pocket when he went to school. It is estimated that when the chicken is about to crow, he will feed it some food, and the chicken will not crow when it is full.
After a while, Mr. Sima wanted to know why the chicken didn't crow on time. Careful observation shows that Zhuge Liang fed the chickens when they crowed. Mr. Wang was very angry at first, but he was soon moved by Zhuge Liang's studious spirit, caring more about him, paying more attention to him and having no reservations about his education. Zhuge Liang is more diligent. Through Zhuge Liang's own efforts, he finally became a local scholar who knew astronomy and geography.
Diligence is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation since ancient times, and there are countless examples related to it, which have always been praised by people. Che Yin's "Fireflies Into the Capsule" is diligence; Sun Kang's "snow screen" is diligence; Kuang Heng's "stealing learning" is diligence; Su Qin's "hanging beam and stabbing stocks" is diligence; Zu Ti's "dancing at the smell of chickens" is also diligent, and diligence finally makes them all great events.
During the Warring States Period, Su Qin was so tired that he studied day and night that he stabbed himself in the leg with an awl to keep his head clear. Sun Jing of the Han Dynasty tied his hair to the beam with a rope to prevent him from falling asleep while studying. As long as he dozes off, he will be awakened. This is the story of "stabbing the stock and hanging the beam" in history.
Che Yin, Sun Kang and Kuang Heng in the Jin Dynasty were so poor that they couldn't even light a lamp. In the summer night, Che Yin made a small pocket with gauze, caught a few fireflies and put them in, reading by the light of fireflies; Sun Kang sat in the snow on a cold winter night, studying hard through the reflection of snow; Kuang Heng cut a small hole in the wall and "stole" a little light from his neighbor's house to read. These are the stories told by the idioms "A firefly reflects snow" and "Digging a wall to steal light".
Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, practiced calligraphy hard since childhood. Every time he finishes writing, he goes to the pond in front of his house to wash his brush. After a long time, a pool of clear water turned into a pool of ink. Later, people called this pond "Mo Chi". Through diligent study and hard practice, Wang Xizhi finally became a famous calligrapher, known as the "book saint".
Confucius studied hard all his life and especially liked the Book of Changes in his later years. The Book of Changes is difficult to read and learn, but Confucius is not afraid of suffering and reads it repeatedly until he understands it. Because paper was not invented in the era when Confucius lived, books were all written in bamboo slips or wooden slips, which were both stupid and heavy. Many bamboo slips are woven together with thongs to make a book. Because Confucius studied hard and often exhibited letters and bamboo slips, the pimp was broken three times. Later, people created the idiom "Bian Wei's Three Musts" to express Confucius' studious spirit.
Sorry, there were no celebrity cases after the founding of the People's Republic of China, only foreign celebrities.
