However, Byron did not retreat, but responded to the slanderer with better poetry.

Strive against adversity and seek happiness in suffering (Gao Shiqi fought hard against illness)

Gao Shiqi is a popular science writer in my country. When he was studying abroad, during an experiment, a glass bottle containing a cultured encephalitis virus broke and the virus invaded his cerebellum. This left a legacy of physical disability. He endured the torture of the virus and completed the entire doctoral program in bacteriology at the University of Chicago. After returning to China, he dragged his half-paralyzed body to Yan'an to work. After liberation, his condition worsened and he had difficulty speaking and moving. He even needed help from others to open and close his eyes. However, he still created with an amazing spirit of hard work and wrote more than 1 million words of works.

However, he lived an easy life and could not have become the world champion without enduring difficult training."

Faced with setbacks. Never be discouraged (Edison was not intimidated by fire)

A fire burned the laboratory to rubble. All of Edison's research materials and samples of sound films were burned to ashes. His wife was so sad that she cried: "Years of hard work have been burned up in a fire. Now that you are old and weak, what can you do?" Edison was also very sad, but he would never let it go. Down. When he invented the electric light, he tested more than 7,600 materials and failed more than 8,000 times. He was still not discouraged and finally succeeded. The current fire also could not make him retreat. Edison said to his wife: "It doesn't matter, even though I am 67 years old, I am not old. From tomorrow morning, everything will start again."

A hero is one who can bend and stretch (Gou Jian, who is willing to work hard)

The State of Yue defeated the State of Wu in 494 BC. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, had no choice but to seek peace from Wu and wait for a comeback.

Defeat setbacks with optimism (Newton and others faced setbacks)

In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, because of extremely strong and effective optimism, there are many people who have overcome various difficulties and obstacles and achieved victory. . When Newton invented the theory of gravity, people all over the world opposed him; when Harvey invented the theory of blood circulation, people all over the world opposed him; when Darwin published the theory of evolution, people all over the world opposed him; Bell When he first made a telephone, people all over the world laughed at him; when Wright first worked hard to make airplanes, people all over the world laughed at him. Speaking of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, when he first lectured on revolution and national salvation in Nanyang, there were only three people who listened. Many of these people are praised by the world for their optimism.

Extremely strong and effective optimism can enable people to defeat the confusion, blind obedience, callousness, terror, resentment and resistance in the world. Moreover, the greater the work, the more severe the resistance is, which has become a kind of law. The most important weapon to deal with such powerful resistance is optimism. A person who lacks the spirit of optimism will inevitably be defeated by all kinds of demons.

Success is like good times, while setbacks are like adversity.

Sometimes, good times are a kind of anesthetic and corrosive, allowing you to complete the transformation from the king of beasts in the Whistling Mountains to a lazy cat, allowing you to experience the transformation from a general to a prisoner.

However, if you are in a desperate situation, you will inevitably suffer pain and endure inhuman torture. It forces you to hide in a remote corner, reflect on your own heart and soul, clear away ideological obstacles, touch the most fragile part of your soul, think deeply and almost essentially about life, and face up to this unexpected situation. In the desperate situation of life, use it as a sharpening stone to temper yourself and stimulate life vitality.

So, success and adversity are also proportional. How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?

Success is a lucky thing for everyone. But success is not available to everyone. Success is not a pebble on the roadside that can be picked up anywhere, nor is it a small flower in the field that can be found anywhere. There is a long road to success and many setbacks along the way.

To deal with setbacks, the famous mathematician Hua Luogeng once said: "There is no smooth road on the road of science, only crooked paths. Only those who are not afraid of climbing can climb." Reach the pinnacle of science. "The strong will become more courageous in the face of setbacks, while the weak will hesitate to move forward in the face of setbacks. We must face up to setbacks and treat them correctly. Only in this way can setbacks become our ladder to success.

In order to find materials that could be used as electric light filaments, the famous American scientist Edison tested more than 1,600 minerals and 6,000 kinds of plants, and finally made the electric light emit a dazzling brilliance.

There are 1,328 recorded inventions in Edison's lifetime. What an amazing achievement!
