The above is an example of "many things grind"
Churchill, the British Prime Minister during World War II, was an outstanding speaker and was listed as one of the world's 10 famous speakers. However, when Churchill made a speech in Parliament for the first time, he made a big fall-halfway through, he suddenly forgot the following words, and he couldn't remember them clearly. He blushed and had to interrupt his speech and return to his seat awkwardly. However, he was not discouraged. He devoted himself to the study of speech skills and often exercised his oral expression ability. Churchill eventually became a famous orator and an outstanding politician in the 20th century. ...
Hard work will pay off.
"Many things grind" is a famous saying, which tells people that nothing can be done as long as they are diligent.
For example, Sun Jing, a Jin Dynasty man, tied a rope to his hair every night and tied the other end to the beam in order not to doze off. Every time his head droops, the rope will wake him up and continue reading after waking up. In this way, he became a celebrity who used a hanging beam to prevent himself from falling asleep. Su Qin, who is also a spy, has been looked down upon by others because he can't be an official in Qin. So he decided to fight for breath. From then on, he studied hard and forgot to eat and sleep. Whenever it's quiet at night, Su Qin is already dizzy and always wants to sleep. He immediately stabbed his thigh with an awl and felt pain, and people woke up. This is Su Qin, a celebrity who woke himself up by stabbing stocks.
Another example is Kuang Heng in the Western Han Dynasty. His family is poor, but he likes reading very much. However, at night, there was no oil lamp in his house, and a lamp was lit in his neighbor's room, so Kuang Heng dug a hole in the wall and read by the light coming out of the hole. This is the story of "digging a wall to borrow light".
You can't do anything half-heartedly, half-heartedly, but you must finish what you started and persevere. Only in this way can we make a difference and make due contributions to the people and society.
The story of Yu Gong moving mountains
An old man in his nineties lived in Beishan, whose name was Gong Yu. There are two mountains in front of his house, Taihang Mountain and Wuwang Mountain, which are inconvenient to get in and out. Yugong discussed with his family and wanted to dig up these two mountains.
Gong Yu's wife wants to know where to put stones and dirt on the mountain. Regardless of this, Gong Yu and his sons began to transport the excavated soil and stones to the Bohai Sea far away, only once a year.
An old man named Zhisou in Hequ advised Gong Yu not to be stupid. How can he dig Hirayama at his age? Yu Gong said, "When I die, I have a son. When my son dies, I have a grandson, and the grandson has a son. How can we dig uneven mountains if we continue to work for generations? "
The Emperor of Heaven was moved by the spirit of Yu Gong. He sent two gods and took away two mountains.
Gong Yu mobilized the whole family to conquer the tall and big mountains; Old and weak; Few people; On the surface, great difficulties like simple tools and long-distance transportation seem "stupid". However, Yu Gong was not intimidated by the immediate difficulties because he had great ambitions. It can be seen from "referring to the south of Henan and reaching Hanyin" that he moved mountains to benefit thousands of people and future generations in Qian Qian, Qian Qian. In addition, his confidence in moving mountains comes from his correct understanding of the relationship between man and nature. He understands that human strength is "infinite" and "the mountains do not increase". His knowledge is far higher than the average person, and he is really "still smarter than a fool". However, Zhi Yu only looks at the problem from a static perspective, thinks that natural conditions cannot be changed, and only sees the strength of a generation, thus drawing the conclusion that people are powerless in front of nature, which is really "short-sighted". The above analysis shows that fools are not stupid and wise men are not wise. This inversion not only intensifies the contrast tone, but also has an ironic effect.
Modesty makes people progress, while pride makes people lag behind.
When adolf. Bayer 10 birthday. He thought his parents would celebrate him like the parents of other children. But this day: his mother took him to his grandmother's house early in the morning and stayed there all day without mentioning his birthday at all. Bayer was very unhappy. On the way home, he kept pouting and said nothing. When his mother met him, she said earnestly, "When I gave birth to you, your father was 4 1 year old and still a lout. Now he is 5 1 year old, but like you, he is studying hard and will have an exam tomorrow. I don't want to delay his study because of your birthday. Time is too precious for him. You are still young, learn to cherish it. "
Mother's words, like rain and dew, moisten Bayer's young heart bit by bit. Later, he recalled: "This is the most generous gift my mother gave me on my 10 birthday."
When Bayer was studying at the university, the name of Professor Jaragu, an organic chemist, spread all over Germany. However, the professor was still very young. Some scientific retirees always criticize him with such and such questions. One day, Bayer chatted with his father and mentioned Professor Jalagu. Bayer said, "Jalagu is only six years older than me ..." The implication is that this person is nothing.
Father is very dissatisfied. He said to Bayer, "How about being six years older? Isn't it worth learning? " ? When I studied geology, all the teachers were 30 years younger than me. I respectfully call them teachers and listen to their lectures carefully. You should 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. "

In the Spring and Autumn Period 1, Chu Zhuangwang won the championship.
One night, I held a candlelight party with my beloved princess and held a grand banquet for the ministers. Halfway through the wine, suddenly a strong wind blew out the candle. A military commander wanted to flirt with Princess Ai in the dark, and Princess Ai tore off the red tassel on his helmet. Princess Ai suggested that the King of Chu light a lamp at once to see which guy lost the red tassel on his helmet and severely punish him. A friend's wife should not be bullied, let alone a leader's wife. Unexpectedly, King Zhuang was magnanimous and ordered all the generals to take off the red tassels on their helmets before lighting the lamps.
Soon, the king of Chu made a personal expedition, engaged the enemy, and fell into a tight encirclement. His soldiers will flee everywhere, and the life of the king of Chu is at stake. Suddenly, a desperate battle appeared to protect deus ex, the king of Chu, and get back a life. The king of Chu said excitedly, "Everyone else is running for their lives. Only Ai Qing is willing to lay down his life to save the driver. What's your name? Which unit is it? " The general should answer: "I was the one who molested your wife at the candlelight party that day!" " "
2 (Legend, because I can't tell the source! Edison invented the first light bulb. He asked one of his disciples to have it tested, and he broke it! Disciples are ashamed. But when Edison made the second light bulb, he ignored other people's objections and gave it to his disciples for experiments. Edison said, "The greatest tolerance is to give him another chance!" " "
On the day of the report, Lincoln came to the report office to take the exam. When he came to the report office, he found that the people in the prison were the ones he offended, and he finished the exam with a heavy burden. When he asked about offending him, the man said, "Really? I don't remember. "
4 Joules stands for knowledge
Joule, a famous British scientist, loved physics since he was a child. He often does some experiments about electricity and heat by himself.
One holiday, Joule and his brother traveled to the suburbs. Joule, who is clever and studious, never forgets to do his physics experiments even when he is playing.
He found a lame horse, led by his brother, and quietly hid behind him. He used a volt battery to electrify the horse, trying to see how the animals reacted after being stimulated by the current. As a result, the reaction he wanted to see appeared. The horse jumped wildly after being shocked and almost kicked its younger brother.
Although the danger has appeared, it has not affected the mood of little Joule who loves to do experiments. He and giggle rowed to the lake surrounded by mountains, where Joule wanted to try the echo. They filled the musket with gunpowder and then pulled the trigger. Who knows "bang", a long flame spouted from the muzzle and burned Joule's eyebrows, almost scaring my brother into the lake.
At this time, the sky was covered with thick clouds, lightning and thunder. Joule, who just wanted to go ashore to take shelter from the rain, found that it took a long time to hear the thunder after every lightning. What happened?
Joule didn't take shelter from the rain, dragging his brother up a hill and carefully recording the time of lightning and thunder with his pocket watch.
After school started, Joule almost wanted to tell the teacher all the experiments he had done and ask for advice from the teacher.
The teacher smiled at Joule, who was eager to learn and curious, and patiently explained to him: "The speed and harmony of light are different. The speed of light is fast and the speed of sound is slow, so people always want to see lightning before hearing thunder, but in fact lightning and thunder happen at the same time. "
Joule suddenly realized. Since then, he has been more fascinated by learning scientific knowledge. Through continuous study and careful observation and calculation, he finally discovered the mechanical equivalence of heat and the law of conservation of energy, and became an excellent scientist.
5 knowledge-self-improvement
Prague, an English physicist, was poor when he was a child. With his unremitting pursuit of his dreams and tenacious efforts, he finally made great achievements. And the poor years he experienced became the driving force that inspired him to move on in the future.
When he was studying at school, his parents could not buy him nice clothes and comfortable shoes because of the poor economic conditions at home. He is often in rags, dragging a pair of worn leather shoes that don't match his feet. But young Prague never felt inferior because of poverty, and he never complained that his family could not provide him with superior living conditions. Those oversized shoes look ridiculous on his feet, but he doesn't feel inferior. On the contrary, he cherishes these shoes very much, because they can bring him unlimited motivation.
It turns out that this pair of shoes was given to him by his father. The family is poor, so we can't buy him a pair of comfortable and strong shoes. Even these old leather shoes are his father's. Although the father was also full of guilt, he still gave his son ardent hope, unparalleled encouragement and strong emotional support. His father wrote in his letter ... I'm sorry, son. I hope in a year or two, my shoes won't be too big on your feet. "... I hope that once you achieve something, I will be proud of it, because my son works hard in my broken shoes. ..... "This letter with profound meaning and full of expectation has always been like an invisible force, pushing Prague to walk on the rugged scientific mountain road and step on thorns.
Have you ever heard two famous sayings? One is Liang's "Many Good Things Grind", and the other is "Modesty makes people progress, while pride makes people lag behind".
"Good things grind more" means that as long as you do it with your heart, you will make progress and achievements. Let me tell a story, which many people have probably heard-"The pestle is ground into a needle". Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, didn't like reading and studying when he was a child. Once, he played truant and came to the river. He saw an old woman grinding a pillar and asked her mother-in-law, "What are you doing, old woman?" Mother-in-law replied, "Grind the pillar into a needle!" " "Li Bai was deeply inspired by this and understood the truth of" many things grind ". From then on, he studied hard and became a famous poet.
"Modesty makes people progress, and pride makes people lag behind" means that complacency will bring losses, but modesty will benefit. Being a man should not be proud, but modest. Confucius, a great educator, is a modest and unashamed person.
There is a man in a foreign country, Adolf? Bayer, on his 10 birthday, he thought his parents would celebrate him like other children's parents. But this day: his mother took him to his grandmother's house early in the morning and stayed there all day without mentioning his birthday at all. Bayer was very unhappy. On the way home, he kept pouting and said nothing. When his mother met him, she said earnestly, "When I gave birth to you, your father was 4 1 year old and still a lout. Now he is 5 1 year old, but like you, he is studying hard and will have an exam tomorrow. I don't want to delay his study because of your birthday. Time is too precious for him. You are still young, learn to cherish it. "
Mother's words, like rain and dew, moisten Bayer's young heart bit by bit. Later, he recalled: "This is the most generous gift my mother gave me on my 10 birthday."
When Bayer was studying at the university, the name of Professor Jaragu, an organic chemist, spread all over Germany. However, the professor was still very young. Some scientific retirees always criticize him with such and such questions. One day, Bayer chatted with his father and mentioned Professor Jalagu. Bayer said, "Jalagu is only six years older than me ..." The implication is that this person is nothing.
Father is very dissatisfied. He said to Bayer, "How about being six years older? Isn't it worth learning? " ? When I studied geology, all the teachers were 30 years younger than me. I respectfully call them teachers and listen to their lectures carefully. You should 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. "
Confucius, Edison, Beethoven, Schubert, Madame Curie ... all paid off. They all consult others with an open mind and work hard, so they can succeed.
These two famous sayings contain many profound truths. The most important thing is to learn to be modest, not proud, and do things with your heart.
