This is Edison's first incandescent electric lamp-bamboo filament electric lamp.
6. Zu Ti in Jin Dynasty was a magnanimous and ambitious person. But he was a naughty boy when he was a child and didn't like to learn to read. When he was young, he realized his lack of knowledge and felt that he could not serve his country without reading, so he began to study hard. He reads widely and studies history carefully. I have learned a wealth of knowledge from it and made great progress in my study. He has been in and out of Luoyang, Kyoto for several times, and all the people he contacted said that he was a talent who could assist the emperor in governing the country. When Zu Ti was 24 years old, he was recommended to be a lawyer. He not only refused, but also studied harder.
Later, Zu Ti and his childhood friend Liu Kun served as the main book of Sizhou. He and Liu Kun have deep feelings. They not only share the same bed, but also have a common lofty ideal: to make contributions, revitalize the state of Jin and become a pillar of the country.
Once, in the middle of the night, Zu Ti heard the cock crow in his sleep. After he woke Liu Kun up, he said to him, "Everyone else thinks it's unlucky to hear a rooster crow in the middle of the night. I don't think so. How about we get up and practice swords when we hear chickens crow in the future? " Liu Kun readily agreed. So every day after the rooster crows, he gets up to practice his sword, and the light of the sword flies and the sound of the sword is sonorous. Spring goes to winter, cold goes to summer, and it never stops. Many things happen. After long and arduous study and training, they finally became generalists who can write good articles and lead troops to win the battle. Zu Ti was named General Zhenxi, realizing his desire to serve the country. Liu Kun became the commander-in-chief in charge of military affairs in Hebei and Youzhou, and also gave full play to his literary talent and military talent. I believe everyone knows the famous saying "modesty makes people progress, pride makes people lag behind"! Arrogant soldiers fail, you can't be proud, otherwise, "defeat" is your destination! Now, I will use examples to prove my point. I believe everyone is familiar with the story of the race between the tortoise and the hare, which just proves the correctness of my point of view! The rabbit boasted about his speed to the animals. "I have never failed," he said. "When I run, no one is faster than me." The tortoise said quietly, "I want to compete with you." "This is a joke. I can race with you while playing. " Said the rabbit.
The race started, and the rabbit was gone in a blink of an eye, but he felt that he was running very fast, so he took the race lightly and fell asleep on the side of the road.
The tortoise walks slowly, but keeps walking. When the rabbit woke up, he saw that the tortoise was near the finish line. The rabbit lost the game.
Although the proud rabbit is much faster than the tortoise, it still loses the game because it is satisfied with its current speed. ......
Friends! Who wants to be an arrogant rabbit! I believe that no one, more people, will be willing to be a modest little turtle. The tortoise, approaching slowly like the end, and the rabbit, sleeping! At this time "losing" is a foregone conclusion!
