1. When Beyer was studying at university, the name of organic chemist Professor Jaraku spread throughout Germany. However, the professor was still very young at that time. Some elders in the scientific community always raised questions of one kind or another to find fault with him. One day, Beyer and his father were chatting together and mentioned Professor Jaraku. Bayer said: "Jiaragu is only 6 years older than me..." The implication is that this person is nothing special.

My father was very dissatisfied after hearing this. He said to Beyer: "What about being six years older? Isn't it worth learning from? When I was studying geology, the teacher was 30 years younger than me. All of them, I still call them teachers respectfully and listen to their lectures attentively. You have to remember that age and knowledge are not necessarily proportional. No matter who you are, as long as you have knowledge, you should learn from him humbly. ”

2. The tortoise and the hare

The tortoise and the hare are racing. The hare runs away. It runs so fast that it can run very far in a short time. He looked back and saw that the tortoise had only crawled a short distance. He thought to himself: What a big joke that the tortoise dared to race with the hare! I'll sleep here for a long time and let him crawl here. No, let him crawl to the front. I will catch up with him in a few jumps.

"La la la, la la la, victory must be mine!" The rabbit leaned to the ground, closed his eyelids, and really fell asleep. ?As for the tortoise, he crawled really slowly, but he kept crawling, crawling, crawling, crawling, and by the time he reached the rabbit, he was already exhausted.

The hare is still sleeping, and the tortoise also wants to rest for a while, but he knows that the hare can run faster than him, and he can only win if he keeps climbing. So, he kept crawling, crawling, crawling forward. We are getting closer and closer to the big tree, only a few dozen steps away, a dozen? A few steps away, a few steps away... Finally we are here. ?

So, the turtle won. The rabbit lost the game because he was too proud.
