Stories of Edison cherishing time

Edison only attended primary school for three months in his life, and his knowledge was learned by his mother's teaching and self-study.

When he grew up, he devoted himself to research and invention according to his own interests in this field. He set up a laboratory in New Jersey, and invented the electric light, telegraph, phonograph, film machine, magnetic mineral analyzer, crusher and so on for more than 2, kinds of things in his life. Edison's strong research spirit made him make a great contribution to the improvement of human life style.

"Waste, the biggest waste is wasting time." Edison often said to his assistant. "Life is too short, we should try our best to do more things with very little time."

One day, Edison was working in the laboratory. He handed his assistant an empty glass bulb without the lamp socket and said, "Measure the capacity of the bulb." He bowed his head to work again. After a long time, he asked, "What's the capacity?" He didn't hear the answer, but turned to see the assistant measuring the circumference and inclination of the light bulb with a soft ruler, and took the measured figures and fell on the table to calculate. He said, "Time, time, why does it take so much time?" Edison came over, picked up the empty light bulb, filled it with water, gave it to his assistant, and said, "Pour the water in the measuring cup and tell me its capacity at once." The assistant read out the numbers at once. Edison said, "How easy it is to measure. It is accurate and saves time. Why didn't you think of it?"? Still counting, isn't that a waste of time? " The assistant's face turned red.

Edison murmured, "Life is too short, too short. Save time and do more things!"

The story of Lu Xun cherishing time

An important secret of Lu Xun's success is to cherish time. When Lu Xun was a private school in Shaoxing City at the age of twelve, his father was seriously ill and his two younger brothers were still young. Lu Xun not only often went to pawn shops and ran pharmacies, but also had to help his mother with housework. In order not to affect his studies, he must make accurate time arrangements.

After that, Lu Xun squeezed time almost every day. He said, "Time is like water in a sponge. As long as you squeeze it, there is always some." Lu Xun's interest in reading is very extensive, and he likes writing. He is also deeply interested in folk art, especially legends and paintings. It is precisely because he dabbles extensively and studies in many ways that time is very important to him. He was ill all his life, and his working conditions and living environment were not good, but he would not give up until late at night every day.

in Lu Xun's eyes, time is like life. "Americans say that time is money. But I think: time is life. If you waste other people's time for no reason, it is actually tantamount to killing people for money. " Therefore, Lu Xun hates people who "run around all day and sit in the west, gossiping". When he is busy with his work, if someone comes to chat or shoot the breeze with him, even if he is a very good friend, he will rudely say to others, "Well, there you are again, isn't there anything else to do?"

gathering fireflies to study

Che Yin, born in the Jin Dynasty, was a rich boy, but later his family came down and became penniless. However, he can constantly strive for self-improvement in adversity.

Che Yin was very sensible and hard-working when he was young. Because he has to help his family during the day, he wants to use the long night to read more books and enrich himself. However, his family is poor and he has no spare money to buy oil and light a lamp. How can he break through the restrictions of objective conditions? At first, he had to recite the contents of books at night, until one summer night, he saw several fireflies flying and little fluorescent lights flashing in the dark. So, he came up with a good idea: he caught many fireflies and put them in a small bag sewn with white summer cloth. Because the white summer cloth is very thin and can give out the light of fireflies, he hung the bag up and became a "lighting lamp".

Che Yin studied hard and finally became a famous scholar, and later became a popular official. At that time, whenever any assembly or celebration was held, if Che Yin was not present, everyone would feel disappointed. A celebrity story about cherishing time 2

Shakespeare cherishes time very much and never gives up a bit of leisure. When he was a teenager, he studied in a local "literature school". After six years in school, he managed to squeeze out time, read thousands of literary books in the school library, and recited a lot of wonderful dialogues in poems and scripts.

at the age of 13, Shakespeare embarked on the road of making a living by himself. He was a soldier, an apprentice, a bricklayer, a coolie, and a housekeeper and rural teacher of the nobility. In the rush to support his family, he made careful observations on various characters and recorded their conversations with great personality, which accumulated material for his future creation. Shakespeare came to London at the age of 22. The strong pursuit of drama led him to find a job as a janitor in a theater. At first, he just showed the horses and cars to the dignitaries at the theatre. After that, he used the tips he earned to pay some children to help him finish his work, but he took the time to go to the theater to watch the performance. Slowly, Shakespeare began to play a walk-on and play a supporting role in the performance.

He is very happy about this, because it enables him to watch the actors' performances more closely on the stage. Later, Shakespeare became a "cue". Hiding in the props, while doing his job well, he also took the time to record his impressions of each actor's performance. Just as Shakespeare became an official actor, the plague began to spread in Europe, thousands of people died and the theater was forced to close. Both the boss and the actors went out to avoid the plague, but Shakespeare chose to stay and guard the theater. In the two years of extreme economic depression, Shakespeare took the time to read a lot of books, sorted out his notes in various periods, revised several plays, and began to create new plays. By the time Britain's economy recovered and performances were booming again, Shakespeare's plays became a hit, and he himself became the most outstanding actor.

One spring morning, just as the sun rose, the magpie came to Mr. Owl's door and shouted happily, "Mr. Owl, get up quickly, and practice our hunting skills with the bright sunshine in the morning. Don't sleep late again." The owl turned a blind eye, curled up motionless in its nest and said lazily, "Who is it?" Come here so early and yell, I haven't woken up yet. When can I practice? I have to sleep for a while. " The magpie had to exercise alone after hearing this. At noon, the magpie came again. Although the owl woke up, it was still lying on the bed. The magpie was about to speak, and the owl scrambled to say, "It's still a long day. What are you practicing? It's better to rest before it's too late." The magpie said, "It's getting late. It's noon. It's time for you to hunt and exercise." But the owl still didn't move. Before sunset, the magpie flew to the owl's house and saw that the owl had just got up and washed his face. He said to him, "It's getting dark, and I'm going to rest. Why don't you wash your face?" The owl said, "That's my habit. I don't start hunting until I'm hungry at night." The magpie said, "What food can you catch so late?" At this time, it was already dark. The owl flapped its wings and flew from tree to tree. It was exhausted, and it didn't catch any food. It was hungry and growled, and its voice was very ugly.

Of course, this is a small fable. If the owl really hunts at night, it will fall from the tree with hunger. But this fable tells us a profound truth, that is to cherish time. The ancients said, "An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time." There is no big difference between yesterday and today, and there is no difference between today and tomorrow. All the year round, spring, summer, autumn and winter cycle, but we are taller and shorter, and our hair turns from black to white. At this moment, we just remembered that we didn't learn what we should learn, we didn't have the opportunity to learn, we didn't do what we should do, but we can't get back the past time. What's the point of such a life? Therefore, young friends must cherish their time from childhood and study hard, so that they can become useful talents in the future, otherwise it is inevitable that "young people will not work hard, and the oldest will be sad." Celebrity stories about cherishing time 7

Most contemporary teenagers envy the affluent life of America and Japan and their cars and appliances. However, do you know how much they cherish time? As early as more than 2 years ago, when the United States was not independent, Franklin, one of the pioneers, scientists, industrialists and leaders of the independence movement in the United States, included two hit the floor proverbs which were widely spread in the United States in his book The Road to Wealth: "Time is life" and "Time is money". In the early 199s, the China-Liaoning youth delegation attended a meeting in Japan. Before going abroad, the head of the delegation prepared a thick stack of speeches, but at that time, Japanese officials handed in a list of the meeting, which read: "Chinese speaking time: 1: 17: 2 to 18: 2." The speaking time is only one minute. This seems incredible to those who read a newspaper for half a day with a cup of tea, but it is very common in Japan. From workers to scholars, Japan has a strong sense of time. The basic standard of their assessment of post workers is the amount of labor per unit time under the premise of ensuring quality, and the time is generally accurate to the second.

Sima Guang was a famous politician in the Northern Song Dynasty in China and a great scholar at that time. He wrote the historical work Zi Zhi Tong Jian, which has been handed down through the ages and has far-reaching influence.

When Sima Guang was a child in a private school, he always thought that he was not smart enough. He even thought that his memory was worse than others. In order to train his memory, he often spends two or three times more time than others to remember and recite things in books. Whenever the teacher finished reading the book, other students could recite it after reading it for a while, so they ran out to play. Sima Guang stayed alone in the school, closed the window, and continued to read and recite carefully until he knew everything, closed the book and recited it word for word.

He also uses all his spare time, such as riding on a horse, or when he can't sleep at night, while reciting silently and thinking about the content of the article. Over time, he can not only memorize what he has learned, but also his memory is getting better and better. What he learned when he was young will never be forgotten. Since he was a child, he studied meticulously and worked hard, which laid a solid foundation for his later writing.

Sima Guang devoted himself to study and writing all his life, often forgetting hunger, thirst and cold. Where he lives, apart from books, there are only very simple furnishings: a bed, a coarse quilt and a pillow made of logs.

It is with this spirit of never being complacent and never slacking off that Sima Guang and his assistant spent 19 years compiling the historical masterpiece Zi Zhi Tong Jian. 9
