Kepler, a German astronomer, was troubled since he was a child. He came to the earth early in his mother's womb for only seven months. Later, smallpox made him grow acne pits, and scarlet fever damaged his eyes. However, with his tenacious character, he studied hard and his academic performance was far ahead of his peers.
Later, because my father was in debt and lost the opportunity to study, I taught myself astronomy. In his later life, he experienced a series of blows, such as illness, the death of his mentor and the death of his wife. But he still didn't stop studying astronomy, and finally discovered the three laws of celestial bodies at the age of 59.
He turned all his misfortunes into a driving force to push himself forward, won the title of science with amazing perseverance and became a "man with indomitable spirit."
2. American inventor Edison
Edison failed many times when he invented the electric light bulb. When he used 1000 materials as filament, his assistant said to him, "You failed 1000 times, and your success became slim. Give up! "
But Edison said, "So far, my harvest is not bad. At least I found that there are more than 1000 materials that cannot be used as filaments. " After more than 6,000 experiments, he finally succeeded.
I can imagine what would happen to us now if Edison gave up when his assistant advised him to stop the experiment. Maybe we need to light an oil lamp the size of a bean to light it at night.
In fact, every failure of Edison's experiment can be regarded as a setback. In this way, Edison's invention of electric light suffered more than 6,000 setbacks, which is an amazing number.

5. Leonardo painted eggs
Leonardo da vinci, a famous painter in Renaissance Europe, loved painting since he was a child. His father sent him to Florence, a famous Italian city at that time, to learn from the famous painter Fo Rocchio.
The teacher asked him to start by drawing eggs. He painted for more than ten days. Seeing that he was a little impatient, the teacher said to him, "Don't think it's easy to draw an egg, you know, no two eggs in 1000 are exactly the same;" Even the same egg, as long as the shape is different from another angle, the oval outline of the egg will be different. Therefore, if you want to express it perfectly on drawing paper, you have to work hard. "
From then on, Leonardo da Vinci devoted himself to studying sketches, and after a long period of hard and diligent artistic practice, he finally created many immortal famous paintings.
