Edison's story

Edison only attended primary school for three months in his life, and his knowledge was learned by 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 "king of inventions" 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 own interests in this field. He set up a laboratory in New Jersey, and invented the electric light, telegraph, phonograph, film machine, magnetic mineral analyzer, crusher and so on for more than 2, kinds of things in his life. Edison's strong research spirit made him make a great contribution to the improvement of human life style.

"Waste, the biggest waste is wasting time." Edison often said to his assistant. "Life is too short, we should try our best to do more things with very little time."

One day, Edison was working in the laboratory. He handed his assistant an empty glass bulb without the lamp socket and said, "Measure the capacity of the bulb." He bowed his head to work again.

After a long time, he asked, "What's the capacity?" He didn't hear the answer, but turned to see the assistant measuring the circumference and inclination of the light bulb with a soft ruler, and took the measured figures and fell on the table to calculate. He said, "Time, time, why does it take so much time?" Edison came over, picked up the empty light bulb, filled it with water, gave it to his assistant, and said, "Pour the water in the measuring cup and tell me its capacity at once."

the assistant immediately read out the numbers.

Edison said, "How easy it is to measure. It is accurate and saves time. Why didn't you think of it?" Still counting, isn't that a waste of time? "

the assistant's face turned red.

Edison murmured, "Life is too short, too short. Save time and do more things!"

all those who have made great achievements in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, all cherish time like gold. There is a saying in the ancient book Huai Nan Zi: "A sage does not value the ruler's jade, but values the inch's yin." There is such a poem in the Long Songs of Han Yuefu: "When will a hundred rivers go east to the sea and return to the west?" "If the young don't work hard, the old will be sad." Tao Yuanming in the Jin Dynasty also wrote a poem about cherishing time: "Never come back in the prime of life, but it is hard to get up in the morning. Be encouraged in time, and time waits for no one." At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Zhenbai's poem "White Deer Cave" has a wonderful metaphor of "an inch of time and an inch of gold". The French writer Balzac compared time to capital. The German poet Goethe regarded time as his own property. Mr Lu Xun has a deeper understanding of time. He said, "Time is life. Wasting other people's time for no reason is actually tantamount to killing people for money. " After Faraday's middle age, in order to save time, he devoted his whole body and mind to scientific creation, strictly controlled himself, refused to participate in all activities unrelated to science, and even resigned as president of the Royal Academy. Madame Curie never put a chair in the reception room in order not to delay the visit. 76-year-old Einstein fell ill, and an old friend asked him what he wanted. He said, I just hope there are still a few hours for me to put some manuscripts in order.

Most contemporary teenagers envy the affluent life of America and Japan and their cars and appliances. However, do you know how much they cherish time? As early as more than 2 years ago, when the United States was not independent, Franklin, the pioneer, scientist, industrialist and one of the leaders of the independence movement in the United States, included two proverbs widely spread in the United States and hit the floor in his book The Road to Wealth: "Time is life" and "Time is money". In the early 199s, the China-Liaoning youth delegation attended a meeting in Japan. Before going abroad, the head of the delegation prepared a thick stack of speeches, but the meeting schedule handed by Japanese officials at that time read: "Chinese speaking time: 1: 17: 2 to 18: 2." The speaking time is only one minute. This seems incredible to those who "have a cup of tea and a cigarette and read a newspaper for half a day", but it is very common in Japan. From workers to scholars, Japan has a strong sense of time. The basic standard of their assessment of workers' incompetence is the amount of labor per unit time under the premise of ensuring quality, and the time is generally accurate to the second.
