China has a famous saying: It's never too old to learn! Let's take a look at the story about diligence. The following is a story about inspirational diligence that I have compiled for everyone's reference!
The story about inspirational and diligent study: When studying in Tao Hongjing vegetable garden
In ancient times, there were many misunderstandings about nature. People believed that snail winning was a shortage of turning the borer into their own son. According to the legend of Tang Dynasty, the son they brought was called "borer". Tao Hongjing expressed doubts about this. He found a nest of grubs in the vegetable garden at the edge of the village and squatted in the vegetable field to observe attentively all day. Tao Hongjing found that they had both males and females. After many days' careful observation, Tao Hongjing finally exposed the secret of the grub: It turns out that grub has its own offspring, and grub is taken to the nest to feed the larvae. There is no such thing as a "grub seme"! From then on, Tao Hongjing felt even more that it was best to observe everything in person, and never to follow others' advice.
A story about inspirational and diligent study: Galileo, who is diligent and inquisitive
At the age of 17, Galileo was admitted to the medical major of Pisa University. He likes to ask questions and will never stop until he gets to the bottom of it.
In one class, Professor Biro gave a lecture on embryology. He said: "Whether a mother gives birth to a boy or a girl is determined by the strength of her father. When the father is strong, the mother gives birth to a boy; When the father is weak, the mother gives birth to a girl. "
As soon as Professor Biro's voice fell, Galileo raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I have a question."
Professor Biro said unhappily, "You ask too many questions! You are a student. You should listen carefully to the teacher in class, take more notes, don't think about it, and ask questions easily, which will affect the students' study! " "This is not thinking, nor is it easy to ask questions. My neighbor, the man is very strong, but his wife has given birth to five daughters in a row. This is just the opposite of what the teacher said. How can this be explained? " Galileo was not intimidated by Professor Biro and continued to ask questions.
"I said it according to Aristotle, a famous ancient Greek scholar, and it can't be wrong!" Professor Biro moved out the theoretical basis and tried to convince him.
Galileo went on to say, "Is it necessary for Aristotle to insist that what he said is true? Science must conform to the facts, otherwise it is not real science. " Professor Biro was stumped by the question and could not get off the stage.
Later, Galileo was criticized by the school, but his spirit of persistence, inquisitiveness and pursuit of truth has not changed at all. Because of this, he finally became a generation of scientific masters.
The story about inspiring and diligent study: Never too old to learn
Forget about eating and sleeping for painting peony
After retirement, Wang Guilin doesn't know many friends. In her spare time, she always beats Tai Ji Chuan on the riverbank, and her life circle is very small. In 29, she discussed with her friend Qi Ying how to enrich her old age. By asking, two people came to the old university in the activity center of the city's retired cadres and signed up to learn painting.
Wang Guilin arrives at the classroom early in every class. "The teacher said that I started to learn painting when I was so old, and asked me if I had a foundation and confidence to learn." Wang Guilin said, "I like painting very much, and I have confidence in myself, because my teacher praised me as the best painter since I was a child. I am now trying to fulfill my childhood dream. I really want to paint. "
Gongbi painting is composed by sketching first, and then rendered layer by layer. The most important thing is the technique. This painting method has won Wang Guilin's love, and she loves flower-and-bird Gongbi painting. Wang Guilin's favorite painting is peony, because peony symbolizes the good meaning of "wealth and splendor", and meticulous painting tests her eyesight and patience, but Wang Guilin's enthusiasm makes her feel that time has passed in painting.
One day, Wang Guilin went out for a walk and found a peony seller on the roadside. But she was so happy that she put the flowers and bones she bought in a vase at home. Every hour, she will take out paper and pen to draw the shape of peony flowers, and record and observe them in detail until the peony blooms completely.
After several years of hard study and hard practice, Wang Guilin's flower-and-bird meticulous painting has participated in the exhibition of the activity center for veteran cadres many times, and the neighbors like it very much. As long as anyone wants it, she is willing to give it away. "I have given away almost 5 paintings, and these people have become friends with me. I make friends by painting!"
An embarrassing incident aroused interest in English
Speaking of why he studied English, Wang Guilin told an embarrassing incident of his own. Wang Guilin has a car at home, but because she doesn't know English, she only remembers the last few digits of the license plate number. One day, she saw a car parked downstairs, with the same license plate number, color and appearance as her own, so she boldly rushed over and opened the door.
When the old man suddenly opened the door, the male driver in the car froze: "Auntie, are you okay?" "I'm fine, this is my car!" Wang Guilin said rightfully. "Aunt, look at the license plate number again. Are you mistaken? This is my car." The driver looked innocent.
Wang Guilin hesitated for a long time, and when she got home, she realized that the car really didn't belong to her. "The original English letters are different, even if the license plate numbers are the same, it is not the same car." Wang Guilin suddenly realized. Since then, Wang Guilin has made up his mind to start learning English. "I can't make jokes about this anymore." Wang Guilin found his grandson's English book and learned 26 English letters first.
Wang Guilin writes down English letters with a brush and sticks them on the bedside. Every night, he always reads them several times while sitting in bed, and writes in his notebook when he has nothing to do. Under each English letter, she marked the corresponding English pronunciation with Chinese characters, such as "F" is Efu, "H" is Aiqu, "K" is Kai "and" Q "is Ke 'ou ... Wang Guilin read these letters with a strong flavor of Zhoukou, and she was a little embarrassed to say that this was her stupid method. "When you are old, your brain can't keep up, and you always forget."
Love learning to transmit positive energy
A painter who often paints with Wang Guilin told reporters: "Wang Guilin's passion for learning is really incomparable. Whenever she sees beautiful peony paintings, she will find strokes, such as calendars, newspapers, magazines, advertising brochures and so on. In order to draw peony well, she asked her children to accompany her to Luoyang to see peony and understand the growth law of peony. At that time, she watched the peony garden all day and drew many sketches. " According to her painting friend's memory, last summer, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, and Wang Guilin called and said, "Look, CCTV is playing peony painting." For her study drive, the painter admires her very much.
Wang Guilin's son told reporters that his mother loves learning very much. Now she has retired and learned not only meticulous painting, but also English. Now she can search peony patterns on the Internet. "She is more energetic than our young people and has set an example for everyone in our family."
