Examples of celebrities who succeeded through hard work include Galileo, Nobel, Hua Luogeng, Tu Youyou, Lang Lang, etc.

1. Galileo

The poverty of Galileo’s family forced Galileo to leave college early. After dropping out of school, Galileo still studied mathematics hard at home. Due to his continuous efforts, he became successful in mathematics. He achieved outstanding results in his research. At the same time, he also invented a specific gravity scale. At this time, the 21-year-old Galileo was already famous throughout the country. When he was 25 years old, the University of Pisa made an exception and hired him as a professor of mathematics.

2. Nobel

Nobel did not go to school until he was 8 years old, but he only studied for one year. This was the only formal school education he received. When he was 10 years old, his family moved to Petersburg, Russia. In Russia, due to the language barrier, Nobel and his two brothers could not enter the local school, so they had to hire a local Swedish tutor to guide them in learning Russian, English, French, German and other languages. Nobel, who was physically weak, had a special learning experience. His diligence and studious attitude not only won him the praise of his teachers, but also won the love of his father and brother. However, when he was 15 years old, due to family financial difficulties and unable to pay tuition, the three brothers had to stop their studies.

In order to learn more, in 1850, he went abroad for inspection and study. In two years, he visited Germany, France, Italy and the United States. Because he is good at observing and studying hard, he accumulates knowledge quickly. Soon he became a polyglot scholar and a scientist with scientific training. After returning to China, he inspected many production processes during practical training in the factory. Not only did he add a lot of practical techniques, he also became familiar with factory production and management.

In this way, after going through ups and downs, Nobel, who had no formal academic qualifications, finally relied on hard and persistent self-study to gradually grow into a scientist and inventor.

3. Hua Luogeng

It only took Hua Luogeng six and a half years to go from a junior high school graduate to a university teacher. He later told a friend: "They have more education than me, so I have to work twice as long to make up for my shortcomings. So when others work 8 hours a day, I have to work more than 12 hours to feel at ease." Hua Luogeng studied at Tsinghua University In the past four years, he published more than a dozen papers in number theory and taught himself English, French, and German. At the age of 25, he had become an internationally renowned young scholar. Hua Luogeng was quickly promoted from assistant to teaching assistant and teacher, and was later hired as a researcher by the Chinese Culture and Education Foundation.

Hua Luogeng has never been superstitious about genius. He believes that: "Genius comes from accumulation, and wisdom lies in diligence." He proposed that "when a tree grows old, it becomes empty, and when people grow old, it becomes loose. The way of science is to avoid being empty, and to avoid being empty." Song, I would like to live my whole life by following the truth" as a warning to myself. Not long before his death, he still wrote this: "Only when you are gray will you realize that your wisdom is old. Work hard towards the future. Diligence is a good medicine to make up for your weakness. Every minute of hard work is worth a minute of talent."

4. Tu Youyou

On January 21, 1969, the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine appointed Tu Youyou as the leader of the scientific research team to participate in the national anti-malaria "523" project. As the leader of the scientific research team, she led her team members to systematically sort out medical records from past dynasties, visit old Chinese medicine practitioners, investigate more than 2,000 Chinese herbal medicine preparations, and select 640 of them that may be used to treat malaria. Finally, from 200 kinds of herbal medicines, , 380 kinds of extracts were obtained and conducted anti-malarial experiments on mice.

However, the experiment was conducted 190 times without satisfactory results, and the research was once in dire straits. Faced with this situation, Tu Youyou was not discouraged and did not stop exploring. She thought that when Edison invented the incandescent lamp, he had conducted more than 6,000 carbonization experiments on plants alone and experienced about 10,000 failures. What did her 190 failures mean?

One day, Tu Youyou read ancient medical classics one after another, hoping to get some clues or inspiration. As she was flipping through it, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a line of text made her extremely excited. That's a sentence from Ge Hong's "Emergency Prescriptions for Treating Cold and Fever Malaria" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty: "One handful of Artemisia annua, soaked in two liters of water, wring out the juice, and drink it.

”

She noticed that the method of extracting the juice recorded here is different from the conventional method. It is not decoction, but “twisting” - does this mean that the effective substances in Artemisia annua cannot be decocted at high temperature? Thinking of this , Tu Youyou immediately switched to ether with a lower boiling point for experiments, and obtained the Artemisia annua extract at 60 degrees Celsius, and found that its inhibition rate against Plasmodium reached 100. 190 experiments, 190 failed, and 190 times started from scratch, Tu Youyou Yoyo finally succeeded in the 191st experiment!

5. Lang Lang

Lang Lang began to learn basic skills such as music theory and fingering when he was three years old. After going to school, he started learning basic skills at 6 o'clock every morning. Practicing for one hour on time, another hour at noon, and another hour after school. Such diligent practice continued for many years, and eventually Lang Lang turned into a butterfly and created his own legend. Outstanding, so what did he rely on to achieve success? Of course it is diligence, because the key to success is not talent, it is directly proportional to your diligence.
