Ma Yun, the founder of Alibaba from 65438 to 0999, never gave up his dream.

He once wanted to enter a key primary school, but failed; I also failed in key middle schools; It took three years to enter the university; I missed Harvard University and didn't succeed. However, he has perseverance and courage. As the saying goes, "the blade comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom is bitter and cold." Through his own efforts, he finally succeeded.

He said: dreams, down-to-earth, tears are closely related.

2.socrates

Once in class, Socrates gave his disciples an assignment to do one thing and shake hands a hundred times a day. After a week, he asked how many people still insisted on doing it, and 90% people insisted on doing it.

A month later, he asked again, now there is only half left.

A year later, he asked again, there is only one person who persists now, and that person is Plato.

3. Edison

Edison spent ten years developing storage batteries, during which he kept gritting his teeth. After about 50 thousand experiments, he finally succeeded in inventing the battery and was awarded the reputation of "the king of invention"

4. Li Bai

Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, didn't like reading when he was a child.

One day, while the teacher was not at home, he sneaked out to play. He came to the river at the foot of the mountain and saw an old woman grinding an iron pestle on a stone. Li Bai was puzzled and asked, "Old woman, what are you doing grinding the iron pestle?" The old woman said, "I am grinding the needle." Li Bai was surprised and asked, "Oh dear! As thick as a pestle, how can it be ground into a needle? "

The old woman smiled and said, "As long as you grind it every day, the pestle will become thinner and thinner. Are you afraid it won't be a needle? " Hearing this, Li Bai was ashamed of himself. He turned and ran back to the bookstore.

From then on, he kept in mind the truth that "as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is ground into a needle", studied hard, and finally became a great poet, known as the "Poet Fairy".

5. Hawking

Hawking, a scientist, seems to have a weak learning ability when he was a child. He learned to read very late. After school, he never got into the top 65,438+00 in his class. Moreover, because his homework is always "untidy", his teachers think he is "hopeless" and his classmates regard him as the object of ridicule.

When Hawking 12 years old, two boys in the class took a bag of candy and bet that he would never succeed. The classmates ironically nicknamed him "Einstein". Who knows, after more than 20 years, the little boy who was not outstanding in those days really became a master of physics.

As it turns out, with the growth of age, Hawking became interested in how everything works. He often takes things apart to get to the bottom of them, but when he reassembles them, there is nothing he can do. However, his parents didn't punish him for it, and his father even served as a "coach" in mathematics and physics for him.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, Hawking found himself very interested in the study of physics. Although middle school physics is too easy and simple, it is particularly boring, but he thinks it is the most basic science, which is expected to solve the problem of where people come from and why they are here. Since then, Hawking has started a real scientific exploration.
