1. Baeyer

When Baeyer was studying in a university, the name of Professor Jaragu, an organic chemist, spread all over Germany. However, the professor was still very young at that time. Some scientific retired people always criticize him with such and such questions. One day, Baeyer chatted with his father and mentioned Professor Jalagu. Baeyer said, "Jalagu is only six years older than me. "The implication is that this person is not great.

Father was very dissatisfied. He said to Baeyer, "How about being six years older? Isn't it worth learning? When I was studying geology, all the teachers were 3 years younger than me. I respectfully called them teachers and listened 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 with an open mind. "

2. Einstein

After the famous physicist Einstein published his theory of relativity, he became the most outstanding scientist in this century and won a high reputation and reward.

But he said modestly, "I use a big circle to represent what I have learned, and the outside of the circle is so blank, which means ignorance to me; Moreover, the larger the circle, the longer its circumference and the larger its contact area with the outside blank. This shows that there are still many things I don't understand. "

It is precisely because Einstein was not proud and complacent in the face of honor that he was modest and prudent, humble and eager to learn, and constantly explored in the next few decades, making great contributions to physical science.

3. Franklin

Franklin is called the father of America. When talking about the way to success, he said it all started with a visit. When he was young, an old-timer invited him to meet him in a low hut. Franklin came, he stood up, strode like a meteor, slammed his forehead against the door frame, and suddenly it swelled up, making him laugh and cry.

When the old-timer saw him like this, he smiled and said, "Does it hurt? Do you know that?/You know what? This is your biggest gain today. If a person wants to gain insight into the world and cultivate human feelings, he must always remember to bow his head. "

Franklin regarded this visit as an enlightenment. He firmly remembered the teachings of his predecessors and made modesty his life rule.

4. Bian Que

On one occasion, the monarch of the State of Qi wanted to make Bian Que "the best doctor in the world". Bian Que, however, refused, saying that he was not the best in the world, and that his two brothers were better at medicine than him. The king was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked, Since your two brothers are above you in medical skills, why are they unknown?

Bian Que replied, "My second brother, Bian Yan, can cure serious diseases from minor ailments, and can diagnose and cure those major diseases in time when only minor symptoms appear. So he is only famous in his hometown village, and the villagers know that they can go to the second brother if they have minor problems.

The medical skill of big brother Bian Hong is even more superb, and he can prevent diseases before they happen. You can tell what the person may have at a glance, and then treat him in time before he gets sick. Therefore, only the family knows that Big Brother's medical skill is brilliant, and even the villagers don't know his level.

Only I, Bian Que, can't cure a serious illness or prevent a disease before it happens. By the time I got my hands full, the patient was terminally ill, so my two unknown brothers were doctors, and I was just a famous doctor all over the world.

5. Chen Yi

Comrade Chen Yi has made great achievements, but he always owes it to the Party and the people. He said: "The individual is too small, and the party and the masses are omnipotent." He once vividly said: "The victory of the Huaihai Campaign was pushed out by the Shandong people in a small car."

once, he watched a drama, and there was a line: "Chen Yi has the demeanor of a general". Afterwards, Chen Yi commented on this: "How can you let such words be written in the script? Let me Chen Yi listened to where to drill? I'm going under the table! Make me blush. Please discuss with the author and be sure to change this sentence. "

Lin Boqu once praised Comrade Chen Yi with the phrase "The Yangtze River is vast", which is very accurate.
