Jiang Bi was born in a poor family in Nanqi. She makes shoes during the day and finds time to study at night. When he can't light the lamp, he takes the book to the roof and reads by moonlight.
3. Hawaii
When students on the island of Hawaii in the United States attend classes, they always recite a prayer first: a person's life is only three days: yesterday, today and tomorrow. Yesterday has passed and will never come back. I was with you today, but it passed quickly. Tomorrow will come and die. Come on, life is only three days.
A classic example of a celebrity
Jing Sun
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Sun Jing, a famous politician. When he was young, he was eager to learn. He often closed the door and kept reading alone. Reading from morning till night every day, often forgetting to eat and sleep. After studying for a long time, I am tired, but I still don't rest. After a long time, I was too tired to doze off. Afraid of affecting his study, he came up with a special method.
In ancient times, men had long hair. He found a rope and tied it firmly to the beam. When he is tired of reading, he dozes off. When his head is lowered, the rope will hold his hair and hurt his scalp, wake up immediately and continue to study.
Johnson
Dr. Johnson, his father runs a big second-hand book stall. Once, there was a program not far away, and everyone went to the market. It's raining, and his father wants Dr. John to distribute some books and transport them to the market for sale. His father called him three times in a row to go, but Dr. Johnson was absorbed in reading a thick and big book at this moment, pretending not to hear him and ignoring him. His father sighed and had to go by himself.
At this time, Dr. Johnson was eighteen years old. Fifty years later, one day at eleven o'clock at noon, the local people saw the bloated old man kneeling in the middle of the street. He put his hat under his arm, put his crutch aside, bowed his head and knelt in the sun, tears streaming down his face. By this time, Dr. Johnson had become famous and everyone came to see him. He said to everyone: 50 years ago, on the same day and at the same time, I didn't listen to my father, and now I am kneeling here to confess!
