Einstein was very playful when he was a child. His mother often worried about it and warned him repeatedly what to do, but his words had no effect. So, until the autumn of 16, one morning, my father stopped Einstein who was about to go fishing by the river and told him a story, which changed Einstein's playful childhood. His mother often worries about this and repeatedly warns him what to do. However, it goes in one ear and out the other. In this way, until the autumn of 16, one morning, my father stopped Einstein who was about to go fishing by the river and told him a story that changed Einstein's life. The story goes like this:
"Yesterday," Einstein's father said, "my neighbor Uncle Jack and I cleaned a big chimney in the southern factory. The chimney can only go up if you step on the steel ladder inside. Your uncle Jack is in the front and I am in the back. We grabbed the handrail and finally climbed up step by step. When we came down, your uncle Jack was still ahead, and I followed him. Later, we walked out of the chimney. I found a strange thing: your uncle Jack's back and face were blackened by soot in the chimney, but I didn't even have any soot on me. Einstein's father continued to smile and said, "I saw your uncle Jack's face and thought I must be dirty like a clown, so I went to the nearby river to wash it again and again." And your uncle Jack, when he saw me coming out of the chimney, thought he was clean. "
Einstein couldn't help laughing with his father after hearing this. When his father finished laughing, he solemnly said to him, "In fact, no one else can be your mirror. Only you are your own mirror. If you take others as a mirror, * * * may make yourself a genius. "
Einstein's face turned to shame.
Einstein left the naughty children. He always takes himself as a mirror to examine and reflect on himself, and finally reflects the brilliance of his life.
Compared with others blindly, I feel that I am content to be smarter than the people around me, or feel depressed because I am not as good as others. How silly! Everyone has different life goals and lifestyles, and oneself is the most reliable life guide in the world.
Second, the short story of scientists' determination.
Real scientists are not determined to get ahead, are they?
Madame Curie boiled asphalt in an iron pan in a broken shed for more than three years, and finally purified 0. 1g radium.
Edison experimented with n kinds of materials and finally made a light bulb.
Yuan Longping laboratory smashed, still trying to protect rice seedlings.

Three Einstein's Growth Stories (All)
1March, 87914th, Einstein was born in Ulm, eastern Germany, with Jewish descent. His father, Hailmann? Einstein was gifted in mathematics, but his parents didn't have the money for his education, so he had to give up his studies and go into business. Paolino, Einstein's mother? Einstein is the daughter of a wealthy grain merchant. She is very talented in music. Einstein began to learn music when he was young. At the age of six, he began to practice playing the violin. Music almost became Einstein's "second career", and violin accompanied him all his life.
Before Einstein went to school, his father gave him a compass (compass). The pointer of the compass always points to the North Pole and the South Pole, which fascinated Einstein for a long time. He remembered this impressive event until he became an adult. Another experience left a deep impression on him. After a few years of school, he received a Euclidean geometry textbook, which proved many unquestionable axioms, which made him so curious that he could not learn according to the progress of the course, but learned it at one go.
Like Newton, Einstein was not precocious. He didn't speak until he was three years old, and he didn't act like a "child prodigy" during his whole study. He even looks mediocre and dull in the eyes of teachers. He is mainly dissatisfied with the teacher's rigid teaching methods, but he has strong independent and diligent exploration ability. He taught himself basic mathematics including calculus and some theoretical physics knowledge in middle school. After entering the university, he often missed classes and studied classical theoretical physics and Maxwell's electromagnetic theory alone.
Einstein was open-minded and innovative. The creed of "doubting everything" runs through his whole scientific career. Of course, Einstein's outstanding scientific achievements came from his perseverance. Once, a young man asked Einstein the secret of success, and Einstein wrote him a formula: A = X+Y+Z Y+Z. He explained that A stands for success, X stands for your efforts and labor, Y stands for your interest in studying problems, and Z stands for less empty talk and modesty. Einstein famously said, "Scientific research is like drilling a board. Some people like to drill thin, and I like to drill thick. "
Four inspirational stories about Einstein
1, Einstein was very playful when he was a child. His mother often worries about this and warns him what to do many times, but he always goes in one ear and out the other. In this way, until the autumn of 16, one morning, my father stopped Einstein who was fishing by the river and told him a story that changed Einstein's life. The story goes like this:
"Yesterday," Einstein's father said, "my neighbor Uncle Jack and I cleaned the chimney in the southern factory. The chimney can only go up if you step on the steel ladder inside. Your uncle Jack is in the front and I am in the back. We grabbed the handrail and finally climbed up step by step. When I came down, your uncle Jack was still in front and I was still behind him.
Later, I went out of the chimney and found a strange thing: your uncle Jack's back and face were blackened by soot in the chimney, and I didn't even have any soot on me. Einstein's father continued to smile and said, "I saw your uncle Jack and thought I must be dirty like a clown, so I went to the nearby river to wash and wash."
And your uncle Jack, seeing me clean when I came out of the chimney, thought he was as clean as me, so he washed his hands and went straight to the street. As a result, everyone in the street laughed and hurt their stomachs. They think your uncle Jack is crazy. "Hearing this, Einstein couldn't help laughing with his father. When his father finished laughing, he solemnly said to him.
"In fact, no one else can be your mirror, only yourself is your mirror. Taking others as a mirror, * * * may make yourself a genius. " Hearing this, Einstein suddenly looked ashamed. Einstein left the naughty children. He always takes himself as a mirror to examine and reflect on himself, and finally reflects the brilliance of his life.
Compared with others blindly, I feel that I am content to be smarter than the people around me, or that I am depressed because I am not as good as others. How stupid this is! Everyone has different life goals and lifestyles, and he is the most reliable life guide in the world.
There is another thing worth mentioning in Einstein's childhood. One night, as soon as Mr. Herman came home from work, he shouted to Einstein's room, "Albert, come and see what dad bought you!" " Einstein, who was absorbed in practicing the piano, heard the word "gift" and immediately ran out of the room in high spirits.
I saw my father take out a paper box from his bag and open it slowly and carefully. Einstein took it curiously and saw a round thing like a big pocket watch inside. It's just that there are four letters N, S, E and W written around this "big pocket watch", and there are even scales. It differs from a pocket watch in that it has only one pointer.
It keeps swinging from side to side. "What is this? Is it a watch? However, there seems to be something on it. " Einstein asked his father in surprise. "Let me tell you, it's not a watch, it's used for timing. With this thing, you can know the direction. It's used to determine the direction." Father patiently became a commentator.
When Einstein found the compass so magical, his eyes began to shine. Now, the wonderful function of this compass has made Einstein fondle admiringly. He kept shaking with a compass. No matter how he shakes it, the needle always points in one direction-north. "Why does the pointer always point to the north?" Einstein looked at the magic compass as if talking to himself.
"This is because the earth where we live has magnetism, which leads the magnetic needle to the north." After listening to Einstein, my father patiently explained. "Where is this magnetic force?" "It can be said that the whole earth is everywhere." Later, for several days in a row, Einstein often held the small compass in his hand and couldn't speak.
He kept trying to turn it over or turn it slowly, but no matter what he did, the little pointer always pointed north. He knows that this is the invisible earth's magnetic field at work. He wants to feel the earth's magnetic field with that little pointer, which still points to the north, but he doesn't feel anything himself.
3.1952165438+10 On 8 October, the Israeli ambassador to the United States handed Einstein a letter from Israeli Prime Minister Ben Gurion, formally inviting the scientist to become the Israeli presidential candidate. In the eyes of ordinary people, being able to be the "king" of a country and rule the world is an unexpected event, which can be described as extremely glorious. But Einstein's attitude was unexpected, and he refused without hesitation.
When explaining the reason for the refusal, he said very sincerely: "I know a little about nature;" I know almost nothing about people. How can a man like me be president? To be honest, the equation is more important to me, because politics is current, but the equation is eternal. I have been dealing with objective materials all my life, and I have no natural intelligence.
I have no experience in dealing with administrative affairs and interpersonal relationships, so I am not fit to be president. "It is conceivable that if Einstein became president at that time, would there be a great scientist Einstein in our world? The birth of the theory of relativity makes people discover the mystery of time travel, the great energy of atomic fission, the origin and end of the universe, black holes and dark energy and other wonderful phenomena.
It can be said that almost all the mysteries are hidden in his theory of relativity-several simple formulas. 2005 is the 0/00th anniversary of the birth of Einstein's theory of relativity. Germany calls this year "Einstein Year". Germans hope to provide an innovative atmosphere and environment for more innovative young thinkers and scientists by commemorating the 0/00th anniversary of Einstein's Theory of Relativity/KLOC-.
Einstein changed man 100 years with his formula of relativity (E=MC2), and it is still changing.
4. When Einstein was young, he had a handicraft class. He wants to make a small wooden stool. As soon as the bell rang, the students scrambled to come up with their own works and gave them to this beautiful and strict female teacher. Einstein didn't take out his own work, and he was sweating with anxiety. The female teacher looked at the boy who was excellent in mathematics and geometry generously, believing that he could hand in a good work.
The next day, Einstein gave the female teacher a rough small bench, and one leg of the bench was nailed off. The expectant female teacher said to the class with great dissatisfaction, "Who of you has ever seen such bad shit?" The students snickered and shook their heads. The teacher took another look at Einstein and said angrily, "I don't think there will be a worse stool in the world." There was a burst of laughter in the classroom.
Einstein blushed. He walked up to the teacher and said affirmatively, "Yes, sir, there are worse stools." The classroom suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Einstein in doubt. He walked back to his seat, took out two rough wooden stools from under his desk, and said, "This is my first and second time to do it. The third wooden stool was just given to the teacher.
Although it is not satisfactory, it is better than the first two. "This time, everyone stopped laughing. The female teacher nodded to Einstein kindly and thoughtfully, and the students also cast admiration and approval on him. This short story shows us Einstein's resilience. When he was dissatisfied with his small bench, he went into production again.
He made three small benches, and the last one was better than the first two. In the process of making a small bench, Einstein showed his attitude towards himself, that is, no matter what he does, he should try his best to do it well, release his energy completely, be dissatisfied with his achievements and give full play to his potential.
Einstein was not lively when he was a child. He couldn't speak when he was over three years old. His parents were worried that he was dumb and took him to see a doctor. Fortunately, Einstein was not dumb, but he didn't become fluent until he was nine years old. Everything he says must be carefully thought over. Einstein Jr. is an honest boy. He never does anything against his will or cheats. For this reason, he was laughed at by his classmates.
He was nicknamed "Honest John". Ordinary children like to play competitive games, but he doesn't like to participate. The child likes war games and watching soldiers drill, but he didn't like anything related to the army since he was a child. He is a pacifist and doesn't want to see human beings killing each other. There is a garden around Einstein's house.
He often squats in the bushes in the corner of the garden for a long time, stroking small leaves with his hands or staring at ants running in a hurry. He likes meditation since he was a child and wants to know the secrets of nature. Once, on a picnic by the Hisard River, a relative said that little Einstein was very serious when other children were playing together. He sat alone and looked across the lake.
Pauline's mother affectionately defended her child: "He is quiet because he is thinking. Wait, he will become a professor one day! " The relative thought it was ridiculous, but he also understood his mother's feelings. Professor! In people's minds, only those smart people can get this honorary title. Can this silly boy who can't even speak well become a professor?
Five examples of Einstein's efforts to succeed, 200 words
Einstein's success should first be attributed to his correct thinking and creativity.
Once, the great inventor Edison said to Einstein with great resentment, "There are many young people who come to see me every day, but none of them are worthy of me."
"What are your criteria for judging whether an applicant is qualified or unqualified?" Einstein asked.
Edison handed Einstein a piece of paper full of questions and said, "Whoever can answer these questions is qualified to be my assistant."
"How many miles is it from new york to Chicago?" Einstein looked at a question and replied, "This requires looking up the railway guide." "What is stainless steel made of?" After reading the second question, Einstein replied, "It is necessary to look through the handbook of metallography."
"What did you say, doctor?" Edison interrupted Einstein and asked.
"It seems that I don't have to wait for your refusal," Einstein said humorously, "so I declare myself unsuccessful!"
Starting from his own personal experience, Einstein emphasized not to memorize many things, but to be able to think flexibly.
Einstein believes that correct thinking is a crucial condition for pursuing opportunities.
Einstein never saw any genius when he was a child. By the time he was 3 years old, he could not speak. He went to school at the age of six and got poor grades in school. He was criticized as soon as he started class, and the teacher also said that he would never achieve anything. Everyone thinks he is a born fool.
However, at the age of 12, Einstein had decided to devote himself to solving the mystery of "the vast universe". /kloc-at the age of 0/5, he failed in history, geography and Chinese, and was expelled from school because of his rude attitude that undermined order and discipline.
Einstein attached great importance to thinking and imagination. He said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Because knowledge is limited, and imagination contains everything in the world, it promotes progress and is the source of knowledge evolution. " When he 16 years old, he liked to daydream, imagining himself riding a beam of light in space, and then thinking: If there is a clock at the starting point, how can its time pass from where I sit?
From then on, he began his scientific investigation. He designed a large number of ideal experiments and put forward models such as "light quantum", which laid the foundation for the establishment of relativity and quantum theory.
Wisdom of life: Flexible thinking is very necessary for a person's success. With the idea that "raising a question is often more important than solving a problem", we can constantly raise questions while solving these problems and gradually reach the peak of life.
Six Einstein stories
A master of informality
Once, he wanted to replace an old painting on the wall, so he moved a ladder and climbed it step by step. Suddenly, he thought of another question, meditated, forgot what he was doing and suddenly fell off the ladder. After falling to the ground, he ignored the pain and immediately thought: Why do people fall straight? It seems that objects always move along the path of least resistance. Thinking of this, Einstein immediately stood up, limped to the table, picked up a pen and wrote down his thoughts. This is a great inspiration to the problem he is studying-relativity.
Seven stories about Einstein's diligence
Just as historians think that the second half of the17th century is Newton's era, people often think that the first half of the 20th century is Einstein's era. Because his theory of relativity initiated a new era of physics, almost the whole creative process of physics in the 20th century was guided by his great hands.
People often say that Einstein was a genius. Of course he is a genius.
"Genius is ninety-nine percent perspiration and one percent inspiration." Einstein made great achievements mainly because he was infinitely diligent, because he met the requirements of the times, tirelessly explored and dared to innovate.
Einstein is not only infinitely diligent, but also a great scientist who is not bound by traditional ideas and dares to break through the forbidden zone and create new theories. He dares and is good at breaking superstition, emancipating his mind and exploring tirelessly.
Of course, this first is the requirement of the times. The era in which Einstein lived, especially in the early 20th century, when his scientific thoughts were the most active and contributed, was an era in which old and new scientific thoughts alternated. At the moment when most people worship classical physics, a series of "challenges" follow. There are two dark clouds hanging in the calm and clear physical space: one is related to the blackbody radiation experiment and the other is related to the ether drift experiment. In addition, the discovery of radioactivity and electrons also strongly influenced the establishment of classical physics. It is against this background that Einstein appeared as a pioneer.
When Einstein was a teenager, he imagined himself as a man chasing the light. The concept of light led to special relativity. He also imagined: if the sling broke and an elevator fell into a deep valley, how would the passengers inside feel; This idea led to general relativity. The development of scientific theory is not to tear down old houses and build new ones. Just like climbing a mountain. Creating a new theory is like climbing a peak. The vision was broadened and the original hidden things were discovered. The original theory is still fresh in my mind, but it is very small and has become a small part of a broad vision. After he reached the peak of special relativity and general relativity, he was not satisfied and did not stop. He looked around, saw the magnificent scenery in the universe, patted the dust on his body, and prepared to climb a new peak.
-unified field theory. This is the third stage of relativity. He hopes to unify the gravitational field and electromagnetic field, and hopes that this unified field can explain the problems that quantum mechanics can't explain.
Einstein was most opposed to such scientists, who "picked up a piece of wood, searched for the thinnest place, and drilled many holes where it was easy to drill holes". He aimed his "drill bit" at the thickest place in the unified field theory, hoping to unify electromagnetic force and gravity and give a unified explanation of material structure. He also knows that the unified field theory will not be completed by him alone. However, he believes that "in science, every road must be taken." Finding an impassable road is a great contribution to science. It is unfair that the history of science only writes about someone's success, explores the road before the winner, and finds that all the losers who are blocked by this road do not write. Let me do the thankless work to prove that this road is impassable. In his letter to Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, he wrote: "I was left to study difficult scientific problems, not to pity myself. The magic of that job will last until I stop breathing. "
Einstein wrote this way and did the same. Driven by divine curiosity, he bravely explored the universe deeply. He explored for decades until his last breath. On the last night of his life, there was a stack of unfinished manuscripts of Unified Field Theory beside the hospital bed, ready to wake Rosty Yi up and continue his calculus. Einstein's exploration of unified field theory is a portrayal of his indomitable enthusiasm and tenacious character of pursuing truth all his life.
Life is the pursuit of truth. As the German playwright Lessing said:
"The pursuit of truth is more valuable than the possession of truth." [Name] Albert Einstein (Jewish theoretical physicist)
I have worked hard and pursued the truth all my life. His limited life is over. However, people have established a discipline in their hearts.
Read his temple.
Einstein's short stories
Childhood: I knocked a hole in my sister's head.
When Einstein was born in March 1879, the back of his head was surprisingly large and angular, and his mother thought it was a deformed baby. I'm two and a half years old, and I can't speak yet. One day, a little sister riding a bicycle came home. He said a complete sentence: Yes, but what about her little wheel? When I was 5 years old, I was manic, scared away the tutor and knocked a "big hole" on my sister's head with a children's hoe.
But this child also has something to make his parents proud. He started playing the violin at the age of five, especially Mozart. When he grew up, he made great achievements in quartets, even reaching the perfection of artists. When he was three or four years old, he gave him directions for the first time when he crossed the busiest street in Munich. After observing him for the second time, he can look to the right first, then to the left, and pass through without fear. When he was less than 10 years old, he could build a building with a height of 14 with cards at one time, which shows his patience and perseverance.
Learning: being asserted by a professor will be mediocre and useless.
Einstein's Latin is good, but his Greek and modern foreign languages are poor. Once, after reading his homework, the professor flew into a rage and decided not to do anything in his life. 16 years old, was severely scolded by the class teacher. Einstein couldn't bear it, and firmly announced to the class teacher: I will never come again.
This time, he met a good school-Alau State Middle School in Switzerland, where he neither heard any tone of command nor saw any trace of cultivating awe of authority. Students are treated individually, and independent and well-founded thinking is more valued than erudition. Love: Be sure to find the soundboard.
Einstein had been in love three times in his life. The first time was before I went to college, I fell in love with the landlord's daughter and found that I couldn't find * * *, which soon ended. For the second time, with college classmates and girls, physics was included in middle school education, which was rare among women at that time. They got together as soon as they were free. Einstein called her the mouthpiece of their own thoughts, but they got married a year after giving birth to their daughter because of their parents' opposition. 19 12 years, Einstein and his cousin who grew up together began to fall in love. The two sides deliberately interrupted their correspondence for a year, and then they couldn't help but start writing again. When dealing with the opposite sex, Einstein always needs a sounding board for his thoughts.
Everyday: humor
In Einstein's letters, he corresponded with famous scientists in the 20th century, such as Lorenz, Schrodinger, Madame Curie, Planck, Freud, Russell, Bernard Shaw and Roosevelt. But more is his correspondence with relatives and friends. Humorous language makes people laugh when they read it now. He called his dear friend "you annoying guy" and "I hope I can attract you with magic tonight". Once, he called a lady an old lady, and the lady sent a stern letter saying that there was no need to curry favor with him. Einstein commented: "Oh, oh, it seems that I am a big shot!" " "
He refused his girlfriend's suggestion that he should swim in rainy days and run in sunny days. He said: I have made up my mind that if the time comes, I will fall to my death and use medical means as little as possible. Until then, I will do whatever I want. My daily life is: smoking is like a chimney and working is like a mule and horse. Eating and drinking without scruple, as for walking, only people who really have happy companions are willing to do it.
