Diligence:
1. Lu Xun chewed peppers to keep away the cold
Mr. Lu Xun studied hard since he was a child. When he was a boy, he studied at the Jiangnan Naval Academy. He had excellent grades in the first semester, and the school awarded him a gold medal. He immediately took it to the streets of Nanjing's Drum Tower and sold it, then bought a few books and a bunch of red peppers. Whenever it was cold at night and he couldn't bear to read at night, he would pick a chili pepper, put it in his mouth and chew it, which made him sweat on his forehead. He used this method to keep away the cold and insist on studying. As a result of studying hard, he finally became a famous litterateur in our country.
2. Wang Yanan sleeps on a three-legged bed
Wang Yanan was ambitious and loved reading when he was a child. When he was in middle school, in order to gain more time to study, he cut off one leg of the wooden bed he slept on by half a foot to make it a three-legged bed. He read late at night every day. When he was tired, he went to bed and took a nap. Then he turned over in a daze and the bed tilted towards the short leg. He was suddenly awakened and immediately got out of bed and sat down at his desk to read at night. This happens every day, without interruption. As a result, he achieved excellent results every year and was known as one of the three heroes in his class. Due to his diligent study in his youth, he finally became an outstanding economist in our country

Perseverance:
1. When the Spanish-American War breaks out, the President of the United States must immediately contact Garcia, the leader of the Cuban rebel army. Garcia was in the vast mountains of Cuba—no one knew exactly where he was, and no mail or telegram had ever reached him. And U.S. President McKinley must obtain his cooperation as soon as possible.
What to do?
Someone said to the president: "If anyone can find Garcia, then this person is Rowan."
So the president found Rowan and gave him a letter. Letter to Garcia. As for the man named Rowan, how he took the letter, wrapped it in an oil paper bag, sealed it, put it on his chest and hid it; how he arrived in Cuba after 4 days by boat, and then walked through this dangerous place on foot after 3 weeks. The island country finally sent the letter to Garcia - these details are not what I want to talk about. The key points I want to emphasize are:
The President of the United States handed Rowan a letter addressed to Garcia; and after Rowan took the letter, he did not ask: "Where is he?" < /p>
2. A small stone in the forest bears the torrent of heaven and earth alone. In a small territory, it believes in the end of the earth and the eternity of the ether. However, the accidents that are constantly happening in the things that are too vast in life make us unable to With no choice, he began a wandering journey with no tomorrow, abandoned his growth on the road, and witnessed the changes in the world. It turns out that everyone is born lonely. Fragmentation cannot reconstruct the psychological loss, and change cannot bring about the perfection in the dream. It keeps walking and losing, outside of consciousness, in the thousands of mountains and rivers where time passes like an hourglass in the hand.
Everyone spends his life constantly perfecting and enriching family, love and friendship, twisting and turning in the sermon of longing, but there is never a clear standard and answer. The stone of childhood has been kept warm in the drawer for many years. What is broken is our life, just like the psychic jade stone in the red building. The vicissitudes of life around it have changed, and the destiny of dust will return to dust.
In the illusion and hopeless expectation, there is no way out, and the past that I desperately want to return to is just a lonely nostalgia. No dream can last a lifetime of sweetness, and no place is the home before leaving. Outside the hustle and bustle of the world, in an individual alien space, it is destined to be like the suggestion of the sheep man in Murakami's "Dance Dance"—— Relentlessly follow your own dance steps, no matter how absurd and desperate, you have to dance well without pursuing its meaning, and then the rigid things will gradually loosen, and once you stop, everything you are connected to in life will Disappear, disappear forever.

Integrity:
1. A wealthy gentleman in England in the 18th century was walking home late one night when he was stopped by an unkempt and ragged little boy. . "Sir, please buy a pack of matches," the little boy said. "I don't buy it." replied the gentleman. As he spoke, the gentleman dodged the boy and continued walking, "Sir, please buy a pack. I haven't eaten anything today," the little boy caught up and said. When the gentleman saw that he couldn't avoid the boy, he said, "But I don't have any change." "Sir, please bring the matches first, and I will change the change for you." After saying that, the boy ran away quickly with a pound given by the gentleman. The gentleman waited for a long time, but the boy still didn't come back. The gentleman went home helplessly.
The next day, the gentleman was working in his office. The servant said that a boy came and asked to see the gentleman. So the boy was called in. This boy was shorter than the match boy and his clothes were more ragged. "Sir, I'm sorry, my brother asked me to bring you some change." "Where is your brother?" the gentleman asked. "My brother was hit by a carriage and seriously injured on his way back to you after changing his change. He is lying at home." The gentleman was deeply moved by the little boy's integrity. "Let's go see your brother!" When I went to the boy's home, I saw that there were only two boys' stepmothers at home greeting the seriously injured boy. When he saw the gentleman, the boy quickly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't send you the change on time. I broke my promise!" But the gentleman was deeply moved by the boy's integrity. When he learned that the biological parents of the two boys were both dead, he decided to take on everything they needed in life.
2. In the seventeenth-century German army, there was a prince who treated his subordinates as brothers and was deeply loved by soldiers and officers at all levels. On the way back after a failed attack on a certain country, it was late at night in winter. The severe cold and hunger tortured him and some of his subordinates. In the state of extreme cold and hunger, the prince slowly fell into sleep... In his sleep, the prince dreamed that the sun was exceptionally bright and warm. When he woke up, he found that he was covered with many coats and his life continued. Looking around, he saw that his men had all covered the prince's body with their coats, and they had all frozen to death.

Frustration:
1. Scientist Hawking's learning ability seemed to be as a child He is not strong at all. He learned to read very late. His grades in the class have never been among the top 10 since school. Moreover, because his homework is always "very untidy", the teachers think he is "hopeless". 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?
It turns out that as he grew older, little Hawking became interested in how everything works. 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 a real scientific exploration
2. The story of Roosevelt
A little boy almost thought he was the most unfortunate child in the world because he was left with polio. with lameness and jagged, protruding teeth. 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.

Honesty:
1. Reuter was born in Germany. His father died when he was a teenager, and he worked as an errand boy in the bank opened by his uncle. One day, the bank sent him to the home of the famous mathematician Gauss to withdraw money.
When Reuters finished his work and returned to the bank to carefully count the money, he discovered that Gauss had given him an extra three hundred marks, which was a considerable sum at the time.
So Reuter hurried back to Gauss's home, and then respectfully said to Gauss: "Sir, the amount of money you gave me was wrong..."
Gauss was in the middle of the night. He was busy solving a formula and said loudly without raising his head: "I am a well-known mathematician. How can I make a mistake with such a small amount? Besides, I have given you the money for a long time, and you are still running away now." Come tell me that the amount is wrong... We have already paid off and owe each other nothing."
Reuter had no choice but to say: "Okay! Since you said so, then you will give me an extra three hundred marks. I don’t have to pay it back.”
Of course, in the end, Reuters returned the extra 300 marks to Gauss. After this incident, Gauss also restrained a lot of his arrogance.
2. Every year on May 2, American children hold
various activities to celebrate a festival with special
significance - Honesty Day . This holiday
comes from a tragic and true story.
Many years ago, in Montero, Wisconsin
State, there was a child named Emmanuel Danan. After he was born, his family suffered a series of misfortunes, and his parents died one after another. At this time
he was only 5 years old. Just when he was desperate,
an old and childless hotel owner named Norton
adopted him
. When Dannan survived the desperate situation, he adopted the Nortons as his adoptive parents. Although Dannan is young, the various worries and tribulations that came
prematurely made him
very sensible.
Norton's hotel is not big, so he grabs any job
and he is very respectful and filial to his adoptive parents.
The family of three lives a fairly peaceful life. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed. Dannan has grown to 8 years old and has become more sensible. He gradually discovered that his adoptive parents were not decent people. The small hotel sells wine that has been mixed with water.
They also have to keep accounts and overcharge. The Nortons are always trying their best to figure out how to deceive customers. Dan
Nan was very dissatisfied when he saw it, and often tried to persuade his parents
not to make money that they didn't want to do. Norton not only refused to listen,
sometimes he even slapped him twice and scolded him for cheating
As time went by, he became more and more displeased with the child, and the number of punches and kicks he threw at him became more and more
unlike. One evening, a hawker came.
As soon as he entered the door, he started to quarrel with Mr. and Mrs. Norton. Danan
listened carefully, as if for some account issue,
That night, the hawker stayed in the hotel, and Nodun
seemed to be in a good mood. Very bad, I drank a lot of wine
during the meal. And he blasted Danan upstairs very early and waved his fists to warn him that if he dared to run downstairs tonight, he would be interrupted." Dog legs".
Dan Nan was lying on the bed, shocked and scared. In the past year,
Although his adoptive father often beat him, it was the first time in his memory that he was so aggressive.
Moreover, from the flickering eyes of the adoptive father
he always felt that something unusual would happen
tonight. In the middle of the night, Danan, who finally fell asleep, was woken up by a fierce quarrel. He got off the bed, put his ear to the floor, and heard his adoptive father and the hawker yelling at each other in the filthiest and most obscene language. After a while, only a scream of "ah" was heard, and then there was silence.
There was no sound at all. Although Dannan was shaking with fear, she still put on her clothes, tiptoed downstairs, and pressed her face against the door of her adoptive parents' room. On the door, look in along the crack of the door. This sight scared him so much that his hands and feet became cold. The vendor fell to the ground, with a knife stuck in his chest still trembling slightly.
The adoptive mother stood nearby, rubbing her hands, and kept mumbling:
"What if you kill him? He is dead, dead
< p>..." Dan Nan suddenly felt dizzy, his eyes were filled with goldand his body suddenly fell forward. He only heard a "whoop"
and knocked his head on the ground. on the door frame. Norton was stunned, and
immediately strode over, pushed open the door, grabbed Danan's head
and dragged him in. Norton rolled his eyes,
his face softened, and he asked the confused
Dannan to sit down, and said with a pleasant expression: "Boy, you are all
I saw it. It was the hawker who came in to commit murder. Dad accidentally killed him in self-defense, right? He also brought the knife, right?
? When the police come tomorrow, you say this." Dannan sat there like a wooden figure, his eyes never leaving the hawker's body. After a long time, he suddenly fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, buried his head in his adoptive father's knees, and said with tears in his eyes: "Dad, you are not right."
I know that you killed someone. Dad, I beg you,
go to the police station and surrender! That way, our family can
Let's all survive..." Norton was so angry that his face turned the color of pig liver
, he raised his leg and kicked Danan in the chest, and kicked Danan to the ground
, shouting hoarsely Shouted: "You little bastard, do you want to take your father to court? Come on, it's the hawker who wants to do the murder..." "No!" Dan Nanwu He touched his chest, raised his head, and said: "I can't lie. It was you who killed the person, and you should behead him..." With a "pop!", Dannan spoke again. Got a slap in the face
. The foster mother also rushed forward, punching and kicking
while taking out a rope and tying Danan tightly
. Then, the couple worked together to hoist him to the floor. Norton took a whip, slapped it on Danan's body with a "snap", and said, "Okay, if you don't lie! Then you can die!" "Death,
I won't lie either!" Dan Nan said with beads of sweat as big as peas
on his head, but he was still very stubborn.
The whip fell on Dan Nan like raindrops, and the adoptive mother fetched it again
A stick, and beat her headlessly, while beating
Drinking room: "Tell me, how did this vendor die?
If you are right, I will let you down." "It's... you..."
Dan Nan opened his eyes sadly Eyes without light, powerless, he said. whip. The sticks rained down again,
Dan Nan twitched all over, and suddenly shouted: "No,
I don't lie!" His head suddenly dropped to his chest, and with a movement
Still motionless. The Nortons looked at each other, and then they realized that they had caused another big disaster, and they fell to the ground slumped. Skynet
Excellent and careful, even though the Nortons argued in every possible way in court
they were still arrested for murder and received what they deserved
punishment. Afterwards, the Montero city government
to commemorate this child who would rather die than lie, built a monument and a statue for Danan
and
It was decided that May 2, the day of his death, would be Honesty Day. That
monument is engraved with: -- In memory of the man who died for the truth, he will live forever in heaven. Now, every day on this
day, the front of the monument is filled with white
small flowers expressing condolences. Everyone who walks through here must take off his hat and pay tribute to this fearless honest man

Fighting:
1. American athlete Mariel Zagunis, the women’s fencing champion
5 months before the start of the Olympics In August, Murrell failed to win the Olympic trials. But she didn't give up and continued to train hard. Murrell only got his ticket to the Athens Olympics a few days before the competition when an athlete withdrew due to injury. But what no one expected was that she finally passed the test and won the first women's fencing championship for the United States team.
Greenspan: Few people paid attention to fencers before. This is also the first time the story of a fencer has been told in an official Olympic film. I chose her because of her perseverance. Even though she knew the chances were slim, she still didn't give up her efforts, and finally got her wish and won the Olympic championship.
2. Greek weightlifter Dimas
Greek athlete Dimas, who has won three Olympic weightlifting championships, hopes to end his sports career with a gold medal in front of his parents in his hometown. However, he only won a bronze medal. At the awards ceremony, after his name and award were announced, the audience stood up and applauded for more than ten minutes to pay tribute to their hero. Dimas said that this time I won two medals, a bronze medal was awarded to me by the competition; a gold medal was awarded to me by my people.
Greenspan: While most people are chasing championships, my lens is focused on the losers on the field. I can proudly say that I have changed people’s perspective on sports and sports people. I have discovered the spirit of persistence, hard work, unity and friendship from the stories of sports people, which is also the spirit respected by the Olympic movement.

Struggle:
1. The story of Lincoln’s struggle
In 1809 AD, on a desolate Kentucky farm, Lincoln was born One was named Abraham. Lincoln's little baby, he was the future 16th President of the United States.
Lincoln only began to recognize letters when he was fifteen years old. He had to walk four miles of forest paths every morning and evening to go to school. He couldn't afford an arithmetic book, so he borrowed it from others, copied it out on letter-sized pieces of paper, and then sewed it together with twine to make a homemade arithmetic book. He studied at school with irregular classes, and learned knowledge "little by little." The total formal education he received was only about twelve months in school.
Lincoln's ability to study hard under very difficult circumstances is an expression of Lincoln's unwillingness to surrender to fate, and it is also something we should learn from Lincoln.
When Lincoln went to work in the fields, he also took his books with him and read them whenever he had free time. When eating at noon, I also held a tortilla in one hand and a book in the other. After he was nominated as a presidential candidate, he once said: "I was able to achieve this small achievement because of the knowledge I acquired from time to time self-study in response to various needs in the future." Lincoln grew up from a poor child to a politician who led the United States. His journey deeply moved me. The key to his success lies in working hard, working hard, and meeting the challenges of life. Lincoln succeeded
2. Sima Guang Police Pillow
Sima Guang was a child who loved to play and sleep. For this reason, he was often punished by his teacher and ridiculed by his peers. Under the earnest instruction, he was determined to get rid of the bad habit of snoozing. In order to get up early, he drank a full stomach of water before going to bed. As a result, he did not wake up in the morning, but wet the bed. So the smart Sima Guang used garden wood to make a bed. He bought a warning pillow, turned over in the morning, his head fell on the bed board, and he woke up naturally. From then on, he got up early every day to study, and finally became a knowledgeable writer who wrote "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".

Interests:
1. Edison made his first invention when he was only twenty-three years old - the electronic voting counter, an instrument like this There was no market, and from then on Edison concentrated on inventing something that he expected to be easily marketable. Shortly after inventing the recorder, Edison invented an improved stock ticker in exchange for $40,000, a huge sum of money at the time. Edison followed with a series of other inventions, and soon became famous and wealthy. Perhaps his most innovative invention was the phonograph, which he patented in 1877. But even more important to the world was his invention in 1879 of a practical incandescent light bulb.
The first person to invent an electric lighting device was not Edison. As early as a few years ago, Paris used solitary lamps to illuminate its streets. However, Edison's light bulb, together with the power transmission device he invented, made it possible for ordinary households to use electricity for lighting. In 1882, his company began producing household electricity in New York City. After that, household use of electricity quickly spread throughout the world.
Edison established the first transmission company to deliver electricity to private homes, laying the foundation for the development of a huge industry. After all, it is not just lights that use this kind of power supply today, but a whole series of household appliances from televisions to washing machines. Edison greatly promoted the application of electricity in industry because the power from the transmission grid built by Edison was easy to use.
Edison made a huge contribution to the development of motion pictures, cameras, and projectors. He made important improvements to the telephone (his carbon microphone significantly improved audibility), the telegraph, and the typewriter. Among his other inventions were the phonograph, the mimeograph machine and the accumulator. In total, Edison patented more than a thousand individual inventions, an incredible number.
One of the reasons why Edison was so incredibly efficient was that early in his career, he established a research laboratory in Manlo Park, New Jersey, and hired a group of talented assistants to assist him in his work. . Since that time many industrial companies have built large research laboratories, the prototype of which was Edison's laboratory. Edison's modern, well-equipped research laboratory—in which many people worked together as a unit—was one of his most important inventions, although one he certainly would not have patented. .
As well as being an inventor, Edison also worked in manufacturing and formed several companies, the most important of which later became General Electric Company.
Although Edison did not have the temperament of a purely theoretical scientist, he made an important scientific discovery. In 1882, he discovered that in a near-vacuum state, electric current can pass between wires that are not in contact with each other. This phenomenon is called the Edison effect. It not only has great theoretical significance, but also has important practical applications, which finally led to the invention of vacuum tubes and electronics. The creation of industry.
Edison suffered from severe deafness for most of his life, but his hard work and perseverance fully compensated for this shortcoming. Edison was married twice (his first wife died in infancy), and each gave him three children. He died in Orange, New Jersey, in 1931.
People recognize Edison as a genius and the greatest inventive genius that has ever appeared. One feels a sense of awe as one looks through his list of practical inventions, most of which would have been made by someone else within thirty years. But if we look at his inventions individually, we find that none of them is of real significance. For example, although incandescent lamps are widely used, they are not an irreplaceable gap in modern life. In fact, fluorescent lamps, an invention based on a completely different principle, are also widely used; if there were no incandescent light bulbs at all, our daily lives would not be very different from what they are now. Indeed, before electric light, candles, oil lamps, and gas lamps were generally considered to be quite satisfactory sources of light.
The phonograph is certainly an ingenious instrument, but it is generally considered to pale in comparison to the changes that radio, television or the telephone have brought to our daily lives. And in recent years, completely different recording methods have appeared, such as tape recorders. It would be relatively unimportant today if there were no gramophone or tape recorder at all. Many of the patent rights obtained by Edison were related to reforms of devices that had been invented by others and were quite useful. Although such reforms were beneficial, they could not be considered to have great significance in the entire historical process.
Although no single one of Edison's inventions stands out from the rest, it should be remembered that he made not just one invention, but a thousand. It is for this reason that I rank Edison ahead of Gagolmo Marconi and Alexander Graham Bell.
2. One sentence can change a person's life. The scientific giant who is described as a scientist among scientists, his educational experience is not magical at all, and he is even regarded as "imbecile". He is not very mature at the age of four or five. He can talk, likes to sit quietly, and is often in a daze. His parents once thought he had mental retardation. The grade performance of primary school was as bad as predicted. Except for being excellent in mathematics, everything else was very poor. He was always last in the class. The teacher even said bluntly to the parents: "No matter what you do, your child will be the same." Nothing will be accomplished." Kuchiki was finally dropped out of school without even getting a high school diploma. Eins succeeded in the end. After many twists and turns, he entered the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Switzerland. The two keys to success were his uncle's insight and the full trust of his parents. His uncle, an engineer, made him more interested in mathematics and physics. He becomes more and more interested, and the more he understands, the more sense of accomplishment he has. His parents firmly believe that their son will succeed, allowing a child who was once considered mentally retarded to embark on a bright new journey in life. The great writer Scott, I am so familiar with him! I like literature, and of course I have read many of his works. In his life, he created forty-seven volumes of novels, twenty-one volumes of poetry, and thirty volumes of historical biographies. The works are numerous and rich in quality. They not only made an epoch-making contribution to the history of British novels. The influence also inspired new impetus on the Russian, French, and American literary circles at that time. Such a high-quality achiever, but his results are not impressive. He was infected with polio and had difficulty moving his right foot. His body was weak and he almost died from several serious illnesses. He already had a low self-esteem, and his grades were not as good as others. He became a "school freak", often rude in his words and deeds, frequently absent from class, and received bad reviews at the end of the semester. Only one teacher knew that although he hated schoolwork, he was interested in reading and encouraged him. This was the turning point in his life. After becoming famous, Sugert once visited his alma mater in elementary school and asked the school teacher with deep feelings: "Who is the child with the worst grades in the school now?" He learned from the caring teacher who valued him back then and told the blushing teacher: The child said: "You are a good boy. I was just like you back then, with poor grades. Don't be discouraged." After saying this, he took out a gold coin from his pocket and gave it to him. One sentence changes a person's life, and it came true in Scott's case. He eventually graduated from the University of Edinburgh and became a practicing lawyer. He also hopes with good intentions that his words can change other people's lives.
