The Story of Roosevelt

A little boy almost thought he was the unluckiest child in the world, left lame and with jagged, protruding teeth due to polio . He rarely played or played with his classmates. When the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always lowered his head and said nothing.

In an ordinary spring, the little boy's father begged some saplings from his neighbor's house. He wanted to plant them in front of his house. He told his children to plant a tree each. The father told the children that whoever planted the saplings that grew best would buy their favorite gift. The little boy also wanted a gift from his father. But seeing the brothers and sisters jumping around carrying water to water the tree, I somehow had a dark and cold thought: I hope the tree I planted will die soon. So after watering it once or twice, I never bothered with it again.

A few days later, when the little boy went to see the tree he planted, he was surprised to find that not only did it not wither, but it also grew several new leaves. Compared with the tree planted by his brothers and sisters, , appears greener and more vibrant. The father fulfilled his promise and bought the little boy his favorite gift and told him that judging from the tree he planted, he would definitely become an excellent botanist when he grew up.

Since then, the little boy has slowly become optimistic.

One night, the little boy was lying in bed unable to sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly remembered what the biology teacher once said: Plants generally grow at night, why not go and see what you have grown? That little tree. When he came to the yard quietly, he saw his father splashing something with a spoon under the tree he planted. Suddenly, he understood everything. It turned out that his father had been secretly fertilizing the small tree he planted! He returned to the room and let the tears flow freely...

Decades later, although the lame little boy did not become a botanist, he became the President of the United States. , his name is Franklin Roosevelt.

Love is the best nourishment in life. Even just a spoonful of water can make the tree of life thrive. Maybe the tree is so ordinary and inconspicuous; maybe the tree is so thin and even a little withered, but as long as it is watered with this kind of nutrients, it can grow into luxuriant branches and even grow into a towering tree.

Hawking's story

Scientist Hawking's learning ability did not seem to be strong when he was a child. He learned to read very late, and his grades in the class never improved after school. He was not in the top 10, and because his homework was always "very untidy", his teachers felt that he was "hopeless", and his classmates also regarded him as an object of ridicule. When Hawking was 12 years old, two boys in his class bet with a bag of candy that he would never be successful. His classmates ironically nicknamed him "Einstein." Unexpectedly, more than 20 years later, the little boy who was not outstanding at that time really became a master figure in the world of physics. What is the reason for this?

He often took things apart to get to the bottom of things, but when he put them back together, he was at a loss. However, his parents did not punish him for this, and his father even served as a "coach" for him in mathematics and physics. When he was thirteen or fourteen years old, Hawking found that he was very interested in the study of physics. Although physics in middle school was too easy and too simple, and seemed particularly boring, he believed that this was the most basic science and was expected to solve the problem of where people come from. and the question of why here. From then on, Hawking began his real scientific exploration.
