Einstein's mirror

Einstein was a very playful child when he was a child. He often played with a group of children. His mother was worried about it, but all the warnings went in one ear and out the other. He often answers his mother like this: "other children are playing, why should I study?" And I am no worse than them. " It was not until one morning in the autumn when I was 16 years old that my father stopped Einstein who was about to go fishing by the river and told him a story, which changed Einstein's life. The story goes like this:

"Yesterday," Einstein's father said, "our neighbor Uncle Jack and I went to clean a big chimney in the south factory. The chimney can only go up if you step on the steel ladder inside. Your uncle Jack is in the front and I'm in the back. We grabbed the handrail and finally climbed up one step at a time. When I came down, your uncle Jack was still ahead, and I was still behind him. Later, when we got out of the chimney, we found a strange thing: your uncle Jack's back and face were all blackened by the soot in the chimney, but I didn't even have any soot on me. "

Einstein's father continued to smile and said, "I saw your uncle Jack's face and thought I must be as dirty as a clown, so I went to the nearby river to wash it again and again. And your uncle Jack, when he saw me clean when I got out of the chimney, thought he was as clean as me, so he just washed his hands and went out on the street. As a result, people in the street laughed and hurt their stomachs. They thought your uncle Jack was crazy. "

Einstein couldn't help laughing with his father. When his father finished laughing, he solemnly said to him, "In fact, no one else can be your mirror, only you are your own mirror. Taking others as mirrors, idiots may also take themselves as geniuses. "

Einstein's face was filled with shame.

Einstein left the naughty children from then on. He always uses himself as a mirror to examine and reflect himself, and finally reflects the brilliance of his life.
