Example Bill Gates when he was a child

In 1965, I worked as an administrator in a school library in Washington. One day, a teacher who taught a class for nine-year-old children came to me and said that there was a student in her class who finished his homework faster than all the other children. He wanted to find another job. Could he do something in the library? What. I said, "Let him do it." After a while, a thin boy with sandy hair walked in. He asked: "Do you have any work for me to do?"

I explained to him the Dewey decimal system for classifying books, and he immediately understood it. Later, I showed him a large pile of expired library cards. I thought at first that the books on the card had been returned, but in fact the books were nowhere to be found due to the wrong card. He asked me: "Is this detective work?" I replied: "Yes." As soon as I finished speaking, he started doing it like an invincible detective. When the teacher came in and told him it was time to take a break, he had already found three books with the wrong card. He refused to rest and insisted on finishing his work first. The teacher said that the air in the library was not good and he should take a breath of fresh air, so he stopped what he was doing. The next morning he came very early. He said he wanted to finish looking for books. When he got off work, he said that he wanted to be a formal librarian. I readily agreed because he worked tirelessly.

A few weeks later, I found a note on my desk inviting me to the boy’s house for dinner. I was invited and went and had a great time. Before leaving, his mother said that their family would move to a neighboring community and their children would have to transfer to another school. But the first thing the child worries about is that he can no longer work in the original school library. Who will find the lost books?

The child is leaving, and I reluctantly say goodbye to him. At first I thought he was just an ordinary kid, but his work enthusiasm made me think he was extraordinary.

I miss him very much. But this feeling of longing didn't last long, because a few days later, he didn't expect him to come back again. He told me that the librarian at his new school did not allow students to help in the library. He said happily: "My mother asked me to go back to my original school again. My father asked me to take a ride on his way to work. If he has something to do, I will walk to school."

What was going through my mind at the time A thought: This kid has such great determination and perseverance that he will definitely be able to do something great in the future. However, I had not expected that when he grew up, he would become a wizard of the information age, a micro-software giant, and the richest man in the world. His name is: Bill Gates.

The example of Shi Chuanxiang is a manure digger who "would rather smell the smell of one person in exchange for the fragrance of ten thousand households". He is a native of Qihe, Shandong Province and a member of the Communist Party of China. He once worked as a cleaner in Chongwen District, Beijing. team work.

Shi Chuanxiang was born in a poor peasant family. At the age of 14, he fled famine and lived in the suburbs of Beijing, where he was forced to work as a manure collector. In old China, excrement workers were not only discriminated against by society, but also squeezed and exploited by some evil forces within the industry. Shi Chuanxiang worked under these bullies for 20 years and suffered all kinds of oppression and bullying. After liberation, New China gave him the dignity of a human being, and he felt proud that the working class was the master of the country. He was full of gratitude to the party. With a simple heart, he remembered a popular truth: removing feces is also part of the cause of socialist construction. He regards digging manure as a very glorious labor, sets an example, takes joy in suffering, does not distinguish between inside and outside, works hard without complaint, is full of enthusiasm, and serves the people wholeheartedly.

In 1952, he joined the cleaning team of Chongwen District, Beijing, and continued to engage in urban cleaning work.

At this time, in order to show respect for the labor of cleaning workers, the Beijing Municipal People's Government not only stipulated that their wages be higher than those in other industries, but also found ways to reduce the labor intensity of excrement workers and replaced all the wheel trucks that used to transport dung with cars. After the transportation tools were improved, Shi Chuanxiang reasonably calculated the working hours, tapped the potential, and changed the large class of 7 people in the past to the small class of 5 people in the past. He led the whole class to increase the number of barrels carried by each person from 50 barrels per class to 80 barrels per class. He himself carried 90 barrels per class, and the maximum amount of manure carried per class was 5 tons. Residents in the district enjoyed a clean and beautiful environment, but his right shoulder, which carried feces, was worn out with a thick layer of calluses. As a result, he won universal respect from people and many honors. In 1954, he was rated as an advanced producer. In 1956, he was elected as the people's representative of Chongwen District. In June of the same year, he joined the Communist Party of China.

In 1959, Shi Chuanxiang participated in the National "Meeting of Heroes" held in Beijing as an advanced producer in the country. President Liu Shaoqi shook his hand and said cordially: "You are a servant of the people when you pick up shit. When I am the chairman, I am also a people's servant. This is just a different division of labor in the revolution." Shi Chuanxiang said happily: "I will always obey the party's words and be a manure collector for the rest of my life." From then on, he worked harder and loved his job even more.

Shi Chuanxiang died of illness in 1975 at the age of 60. Before his death, he repeatedly urged his son to inherit his father's ambition and become a competent sanitation worker.
