The story of celebrity success 1: Edison
Edison only attended primary school for three months in his life, and his knowledge came from his mother's teaching and self-study. His success should be attributed to his mother's understanding and patient teaching since childhood, which made Edison, who was originally considered an imbecile, become a world-famous invention king when he grew up.
Edison was curious about many things since he was a child, and he liked to try it himself until he understood the truth. When he grew up, he devoted himself to research and invention according to his interest in this field. He established a laboratory in New Jersey, and invented the electric light, telegraph, phonograph, film machine, magnetic mineral analyzer, crusher and so on for more than 2000 kinds of things in his life. Edison's strong research spirit made him make great contributions to the improvement of human lifestyle.
Waste, the biggest waste is wasting time. Edison often said to his assistant. Life is too short, so we should try our best to do more with less time.
One day, Edison was working in the laboratory. He handed his assistant an empty glass bulb without a lampholder and said, Measure the capacity of the bulb. He bowed his head to work again.
After a long time, he asked, what is the capacity? He didn't hear the answer, turned to see the assistant measuring the circumference and inclination of the light bulb with a soft ruler, and poured the measured figures on the table for calculation. He said: time, time, why do you spend so much time? Edison came over, picked up the empty light bulb, filled it with water, handed it to the assistant, and said, Pour the water into 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, accurate and time-saving. Why didn't you think of that? Still going to calculate, isn't that a waste of time?
The assistant's face turned red.
Edison murmured: Life is short, too short, save time and do more!
Celebrity stories of success Part II: Beethoven
Beethoven is Caesar in western classical music. But who knew that Beethoven got ear disease at the age of 25 and was deaf at the age of 45? Beethoven's music brought endless enjoyment to future generations, but he could not appreciate his own works before his death.
Please pay attention to this natural musician.
1770 65438+On February 6th, Beethoven was born in a musical family in Bonn. He played the harpsichord at the age of 4 and performed on the stage at the age of 8, which earned him a reputation as a musical prodigy. /kloc-at the age of 0/0, he studied under Nie Fei, the most famous music educator in Prussia. /kloc-when he was 0/2 years old, he was recommended by Nie Fei to be an assistant organist in Earl Wollstein's court band. Is this Beethoven? Music servant? The beginning of a career.
/kloc-at the age of 0/7, Beethoven visited Mozart, a great musician, and was warmly received. Mozart said excitedly after listening to several piano pieces played by Beethoven. Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention to this young man, who will win the praise of the world in the near future! ? Mozart also promised to give Beethoven lessons. Unfortunately, Beethoven's mother died suddenly two months later. In this regard, Beethoven's father was depressed and drunk all day, and Beethoven had to shoulder the burden of supporting his family and return to the original opera house as a pianist.
19 years old, a long journey broke out in France. Beethoven wrote a chorus of "Who is a Free Man" with passion, expressing his desire for freedom and democracy. Later, Beethoven introduced himself to Duke Li Xi Novsky. He admired Beethoven's talent and accepted him as a music servant. Beethoven also quickly fascinated the Viennese with his impromptu piano performance. His music melody is sometimes like a trickle, sometimes like a stormy wave, sometimes like a bird singing, and sometimes like a storm. Has anyone commented on Beethoven's impromptu? Full of vitality and beauty? .
I want to hold my destiny.
At the age of 30, Beethoven fell in love with a countess, Juliet Chichildi, but her father thought Beethoven was from humble origins and decided to marry his daughter to an earl. This gave Beethoven great spiritual stimulation, and it is said that his famous song "To Alice" was written during this period.
Of course, being lovelorn made him sad, but what made him sad even more was that his ears began to become deaf. He wrote in a letter to a friend:? I lead a miserable life? If you do other work, maybe you can; But in my business, this is the most terrible experience! ? Beethoven tried his best to treat it, but it didn't help. He moved to the countryside of Vienna to recuperate for two years. As a result, the condition did not improve, but worsened, and even the church bells through the window could not be heard.
In despair, Beethoven thought of death many times, but he didn't want to die like this. He firmly believes that only music can save him. He wrote in a letter to a friend:? I want to hold my destiny by the throat and not let it destroy me! ? Beethoven was determined to make music for the rest of his life. Since then, Vienna Guanting Music Club has lost an excellent pianist, but an immortal composer has been born in the world music scene.
Beethoven began to write music at the age of 32. After nearly two years of hesitation and exploration, he finally created his first work with distinctive characteristics-the third symphony (Hero Symphony). Its most prominent feature is the ups and downs of tone, sometimes quiet and thoughtful, and sometimes angry and roaring, which makes people angry. Beethoven wrote the Heroic Symphony, which was originally intended to be dedicated to Napoleon, but when he heard that Napoleon was crowned emperor in Notre Dame de Paris, he flew into a rage and erased the original dedication and changed it to the Heroic Symphony-in memory of a great man.
There is only one Beethoven.
1809 and 10 years, the French army occupied Vienna, and Austrian nobles, including Duke Li Xi Novsky, competed to flatter the occupiers. He forced Beethoven to play the piano for French officers, which made Beethoven unbearable. He picked up a stool and threw it at the duke. He left the count's house that night. Leave a note before you leave, saying:? Duke, you only became a duke because of your accidental birth; I became Beethoven because of myself. There are many dukes now and there will be many in the future; And Beethoven has only one! ?
On another occasion, Beethoven was walking with Goethe when he bumped into a queen, a prince and a group of nobles. Facing them, Goethe immediately gave way, while Beethoven said frankly: They should give way, not us! ? But Goethe took off his hat and stood by the road, while Beethoven strode forward with his hands behind his back. As a result, the prince recognized Beethoven and quickly took off his hat to pay tribute to him. His attendants stood respectfully on both sides and watched Beethoven pass by. Only then did Beethoven truly feel the dignity of being a man.
Beethoven composed the Ninth Symphony (Ode to Joy) at the age of 54. It took him six years to compose and revise this piece of music. 1824 On May 7th, the Ninth Symphony premiered at the Wernacard Theatre. Beethoven personally conducted the performance. He didn't read the music in front of him, nor did he hear the slightest piano sound. He directed the performance entirely from his own memory. As a result, the audience was so excited that they burst into warm applause from time to time, with applause as many as five times! The royal family only applauded three times.
Psychoanalysis of Beethoven's Self-motivated Personality
Psychologically speaking, Beethoven wrote brilliant music chapters again and again under extremely difficult conditions, which has a lot to do with his positive personality. The outstanding feature of self-motivated personality is that it can quickly transform the pressure in life into the motivation of self-motivation, and obtain spiritual satisfaction through constant struggle. Self-motivated people are also very good at sublimating personal mental pain, and they will regard every setback in life as an opportunity for personal growth, thus honing their will.
Beethoven's value lies in that when he is frustrated in life, he always seeks inner balance in his music creation. For example, Beethoven wrote "To Alice" because he was lovelorn, wrote the third symphony (Hero Symphony) because he longed for freedom, and wrote the ninth symphony (Ode to Joy) because he was deaf. His music creation is full of deep feelings about life and passion. What's his greatest quote? I want to hold the fate by the throat. ? He spent his whole life trying to prove to the world that he has this ability!
Beethoven's value also lies in that he will always look down on dignitaries and will not try to please them because of his humble origins. His pride is also highlighted in his music creation, and the melody he wrote is comparable to stormy waves and full of personality characteristics.
A deaf person can also write the most beautiful and wonderful music chapters of human beings, which is the immortal legend of Beethoven's self-motivated personality.
Celebrity success story 3: Ohm
George? Simon? Ohm was born in Horungen City. His father is a locksmith. My father taught himself the knowledge of mathematics and physics, and taught Ohm in his teens, which aroused Ohm's interest in science. /kloc-At the age of 0/6, he entered He Run University to study mathematics, physics and philosophy. Dropped out of school due to financial difficulties, and did not finish his doctoral studies until 18 13. Ohm is a man with great talent and scientific ambition. He has been a middle school teacher for a long time. Due to the lack of information and instruments, his research work has brought many difficulties. But he has been persistently conducting scientific research and making his own instruments in a lonely and hard environment.
Ohm studied the current in the wire. He was inspired by the law of heat conduction discovered by Fourier, and the heat flow between two points in a heat conducting rod is directly proportional to the temperature difference between the two points. So Ohm thinks that the current phenomenon is similar to this, and guesses that the current between two points in the wire may be proportional to some driving force between them, which is now called electromotive force. Ohm spent a lot of energy on this research. At first, he used voltaic pile as power supply, but the effect was not good because of the unstable current. Later, he accepted the advice of others and used thermoelectric battery as power supply, thus ensuring the stability of current. But how to measure the current was still an unsolved problem at that time. At first, ohm used the thermal effect of current to measure the current by expanding with heat and contracting with cold, but it is difficult to get accurate results by this method. Later, he combined the current magnetic effect discovered by Oster with Coulomb torsion balance, and skillfully designed a current torsion balance, in which a twisted wire was used to hang a magnetic needle, so that the electrified wire and the magnetic needle were placed in parallel along the meridian direction. Then a bismuth-copper thermoelectric battery is used, one end of which is immersed in boiling water and the other end is immersed in crushed ice. Two mercury tanks are used as electrodes and connected by copper wires. When the current passes through the wire, the deflection angle of the magnetic needle is proportional to the current in the wire. He published the experimental results in 1826. 1827, ohm summed up his experimental laws into the following formula in the book "mathematical research of circuits": S=? E. where s represents current; E stands for electrodynamic force, that is, the potential difference between the two ends of the wire. Is the conductivity of the wire to the current, and its reciprocal is the resistance.
In the early days of the discovery of Ohm's Law, many physicists could not correctly understand and evaluate this discovery, and were doubted and sharply criticized. The research results were ignored and the economy was extremely difficult, which made Ohm depressed. It was not until 184 1 the Royal Society awarded him the highest honor-the copley Gold Medal, that it attracted the attention of the German scientific community.
Ohm also proved in many of his works that resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor and inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area and conductivity of the conductor; In the case of constant current, the charge moves not only on the surface of the conductor, but also on the whole cross section of the conductor.
