Kuang Heng's neighbors have a good life, lighting candles every night, and the room is very bright. He wanted to study in his neighbor's house, but he was turned down. Later, Kuang Heng came up with a good idea. He cut a small hole in the wall, and the light from his neighbor's house came in. He put the book in front of the lamp for easy reading. Kuang Heng is reading more and more books, but what if he has no money to buy books? One day, he found a talented master with a lot of books piled up at home. He went to help the genius master's family when he had no money. The genius master was very surprised and asked him, "Young man, why are you in vain!" " "Kuang Heng didn't hide, so he said," I work for you, and I don't want to get paid. I just want to borrow your book. I wonder if you will agree? "Only God is very happy. He borrowed books from home and gave them to him. Later, Kuang Heng became a learned man. This idiom means that people should study hard.
Newton studied hard. Newton liked to make mechanical models, such as windmills, waterwheels and sundials. His elaborate water clock has won people's praise for its accurate timing. Sometimes, the way he plays ball is also very strange. One day, he made a lantern to hang on the tail of a kite. When night falls, the lighted lanterns rise into the air with the help of the rising power of kites. Luminous lanterns flow in the air, and people are frightened and think there is a comet. Nevertheless, he is often discriminated against because of his poor academic performance. At that time, the hierarchy of British feudal society was very serious. Students who study well in primary and secondary schools may discriminate against those who study poorly. There was a game between classes. When everyone was in high spirits, a good student kicked Newton and called him an idiot. Newton's mind was stimulated to extreme anger. He thought, we are all students. Why should I be bullied by him? I must pass him! From then on, Newton made up his mind to study hard. He gets up early and goes to bed late. Every minute counts. He studies hard and thinks hard. After studying hard, Newton's academic performance improved continuously, and he soon surpassed the classmate who bullied him and was among the best in his class.

Confucius was not ashamed to ask:

Confucius is knowledgeable, but he still asks for advice modestly. On one occasion, he went to the ancestral temple to worship his ancestors.

What's wrong? " His disciples asked him, "Why did you call Kong Wen Zi after Kong died?" Confucius said, "You are smart and eager to learn, and you are not ashamed to ask questions. It is worthy of being a writer." Disciple thought: "Teachers often ask others for advice, and they are not ashamed!" "
Learn from everyone with an open mind, including those below yourself. This is called "asking questions without shame"

Ask for advice with an open mind and don't be ashamed to ask.
Wu Xiaohe
A geography teacher was stumped by a student's question. He honestly admitted that he didn't know and didn't stop there. Instead, when he was on a business trip, he went to look up information, consult colleagues and ask fellow travelers, and finally got the answer. This incident tells us a truth: the most effective way to gain true knowledge is to ask for advice with an open mind and not be ashamed to ask questions. From the fact that a teacher is stumped by a student's question, the central argument is drawn: the most effective way to gain true knowledge is to ask for advice with an open mind and not be ashamed to ask questions.
Many famous scholars and scientists seek advice with an open mind and are not ashamed to ask questions to seek and accumulate knowledge. Li Shizhen wrote Compendium of Materia Medica for decades and read more than 800 classics. When studying ancient books, I found that the views of various factions were inconsistent and contradictory, so I went deep into reality and personally "collected medicines". At the same time, I consulted many doctors, pharmacists, woodcutters, fishermen and others with practical experience, and finally identified and verified more than 1000 drugs recorded in past dynasties, and made new scientific conclusions for them. Russian scholar and poet lomonosov walked 2,000 kilometers to Moscow to study, but was rejected by the school because he was not a noble child.

Most of the children in the class are thirteen or fourteen. They laughed at him: "A fool in his twenties came to learn Latin!" " "However, lomonosov turned a blind eye to the teacher's indifference and classmates' ridicule. He just listened attentively, asked for advice modestly and learned Latin sentences. Later, he was sent to Germany to study with outstanding talent and excellent Latin level. Finally, from a young fisherman to a famous scientist. The achievements of these successful people are inseparable from their modesty in seeking advice and shameless questioning. With the story of Li Shizhen and lomonosov asking for advice modestly, this paper demonstrates their success and asking for advice modestly from both Chinese and foreign sides. It is inseparable to ask questions without shame, so as to demonstrate the argument. )

Li Bai's Preface to the Spring Banquet in Peach and Plum Garden
The husband of heaven and earth is the inverse of everything. Time flies, and a hundred generations have passed. And floating like a dream, for joy geometry? Gurenbin

Ji Junxiu, the hedonic group, does everything for Huilian; We sing, and we are ashamed of our happiness. You didn't get a reward. You can tell me. Give a banquet in Joan's honor
Sitting on flowers and flying feathers drunk on the moon. If there is no masterpiece, why open your arms? If the poem fails, it will be punished according to the number of wines in Jingu.
Heaven and earth are hostels for all things, and time is a passer-by for hundreds of generations. Life is impermanent, like a dream. How many happy days can there be? There is a reason why the ancients played with candles at night! More importantly, the clear and mild spring attracts us with beautiful scenery, and nature provides us with splendid scenery. Now let's gather in the fragrant garden of peaches and plums and talk about the happiness between brothers. My brothers are all smart, and they all have the talent of Xie Huilian. Everyone intones poems and makes contributions, but I feel ashamed of myself because I can't compare with Xie. I haven't enjoyed the scenery on a spring night quietly, but my indulgent talk has turned to elegance. Put on a luxurious banquet, sit among the flowers, raise glasses frequently, and get drunk in the moonlight. Without good poetry, how can you express elegant feelings? If you fail a poem, you will be fined three glasses of wine according to the precedent of Jinguyuan.

I was very sad and said, "If there is too much poison, I will sue the people present. What if I take it and get endowed again?"
Wang Ran said with tears, "If you are born with sadness, it will be unfortunate, but if you don't give me a reward, it will be unfortunate. If you don't serve me, you will be ill for a long time. I lived in my hometown for the third time, and now I am sixty years old. However, the neighbor was sad on his birthday, exhausted his room, changed his apprentice, felt the wind and rain, suffered from cold and heat, shouted poison and got boils. Usually, the deceased will borrow money from each other. People who live with my ancestors have no room today; The people who live with my father are all in the room today; Those who have lived with me for twelve years have nothing to do with it today. Die or move. And I live by catching snakes alone. The fierce official came to my hometown, clamoring for something and suddenly died.

Guests don't come, wives don't stay, and the changes of wind, rain and hail are unknown. If you are idle and want to get up, but you mess around with books, if you accumulate branches, or you can't do it, you should laugh at yourself and say, isn't this the evil of my nest? Just to attract guests, attract guests to see. At first, the guests couldn't get in, so they couldn't leave. They smiled and said, believe it or not, it's like a nest!

Guests don't come to visit, wives and children don't meet, but they don't know the changes of wind, rain, lightning and hail. Occasionally I want to stand up, but the messy schoolbag surrounds me, like dead branches, and sometimes I can't walk, so I laugh at myself and say, "Isn't this the bird's nest I'm talking about?" So I invited guests to take a closer look. The guests couldn't get in at first, and those who entered the house couldn't get out, so (the guests) also smiled and said, "It's really like a bird's nest."
