1. After graduating from middle school, Hua Luogeng was forced to drop out of school because he could not afford the tuition. Returning to his hometown, he continued to study and study tenaciously on his own while helping his father work. Soon, he contracted typhoid fever again and was critically ill. He lay in bed for half a year. After recovering from the disease, he was left with a lifelong disability - the joint of his left leg was deformed and he was lame.
At that time, he was only 19 years old. In those days of confusion, confusion, and near despair, he thought of Sun Bin who was practicing the Art of War with his legs behind his back. "The ancients could still be disabled physically and mentally, but I am only 19 years old. I have no reason to give up on myself. I want to replace my weak legs with a sound mind!" This is how young Hua Luogeng stubbornly fights against fate. During the day, he dragged his sick leg, endured the severe pain in the joints, and worked with a cane. At night, he studied by himself under an oil lamp late at night.
In 1930, his paper was published in the magazine "Science". This paper alarmed Professor Xiong Qinglai, chairman of the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University. Later, Tsinghua University hired Hua Luogeng as an assistant. In the Tsinghua campus where famous scholars gathered, Hua Luogeng worked as an assistant and audited in the mathematics department. He also spent four years studying English, German, and French by himself, and published ten papers. When he was 25 years old, he was already an internationally renowned young scholar.
2. Lincoln's Steps A little boy about 1 year old was led by his young mother's hand to the park square and had to climb a dozen steps. The little boy broke away from his mother's hand and wanted to climb up by himself. He climbed up with his chubby little hands, and his mother had no intention of carrying him up.
When he climbed up two steps, he felt that the steps were very high. He looked back at his mother. She didn't mean to reach out to help him, but her eyes were full of love and encouragement. The little boy looked up again. He gave up the idea of ??letting his mother hold him and climbed up carefully using his hands and feet. It was very difficult for him to climb, his little buttocks were raised so high, his little face was flushed with exhaustion, his baby clothes were stained with dirt, and his little hands were dirty, but he finally climbed up.
The young mother stepped forward, patted the dirt on her son's body, and kissed the red little face. This little boy was Lincoln who later became the 16th President of the United States. His mother is Nancy Hanks. Lincoln's father was a farmer and his family was extremely poor. Lincoln received formal education intermittently, which totaled less than one year.
But Lincoln developed the good qualities of loving knowledge, pursuing learning, being kind and upright, and not afraid of hardships since he was a child. He couldn't afford paper and pens, so he used charcoal to write on wooden boards and small sticks to practice calligraphy on the ground. He spent all his time reading, studying, and practicing his speeches. Lincoln was unemployed, worked as a worker, and worked as a lawyer.
From the age of 29, he began to run for parliamentarians and presidents. He tried 11 times and failed 9 times. At the age of 51, he finally aspired to the White House and achieved brilliant achievements, and was called "a hero of the world" by Marx.

As a young man, I will do my best to do my job, keep learning, and face life bravely. ”
