1. Intelligence

Wen Wei Po published an article by Jie Benyou on February 15, saying that to commemorate Academician Wang Xuan, we should not only commemorate his innovative spirit, but also read some meaningful words before his death.

"Academicians are wrongly regarded as academic authorities in the current field. I often say that the tense is wrong and I can't tell the past tense, the present tense and the future tense. " -Wang Xuan said that when he was 38 years old, his research in the field of computer phototypesetting was at the forefront at home and abroad, but he was a nobody; At the age of 58, he was elected as an academician of China Academy of Sciences and Third World Academy of Sciences, but he has left the front line of specific design; I am 68 years old. Although it won the highest national science and technology award three years ago, it is still far from the forefront of the discipline, and now it exists in name only.

"Celebrities are out of date." -Wang Xuan said that celebrities should keep the mentality of ordinary people and know that they are an outdated person. Others respect you because they have made some contributions in the past, that's all.

"Being on TV shows that the scientific career is coming to an end." -Wang Xuan said that being on TV shows that my scientific career is coming to an end, and a scientist at the peak of his creation has no time to appear on TV frequently. These typical words of Academician Wang Xuan recorded by the media are thought-provoking to read so far. "Celebrities" from all walks of life, big and small, might as well take some time to read these famous sayings and keep his mentality as an ordinary person.

Shame is the most beautiful.

This is an anecdote of Rawls, a Harvard professor. Rawls is a famous philosopher, who combines the spirit of "red candle", "gardener" and "ladder" and is also a teacher who "erases utilitarianism and writes down dedication". When he gave lectures to undergraduates, hundreds of people gathered in a large trapezoidal classroom as soon as it was listed. Every time you need to "strive for hegemony" in advance.

Rawls stuttered a little because of the stimulation of his childhood experience. One of his classmates almost laughed when he said the word "civilization" intermittently, but he was immediately given a dirty look by his classmates in the front seat, as if he had committed a crime of disrespect. At the end of the last class, Rawls said modestly, "We are all talking about personal prejudice in class. I hope everyone can think independently. " All the students stood up and applauded thunderously for a long time. Seeing this, the master shyly picked up the lecture like a child and left the classroom quickly. The students are still respectful and applaud. Clapping your hands in winter is a chore, and the hands of young students are red and painful. He quietly asked his classmates, "How long do you want to shoot?" The little classmate replied, "I have been filming until Mr. Rawls can't hear me."

That's an awesome shame. Men's shame is precious, especially the master's shame. The poet Tagore once said, "All beautiful things are colored." Shame comes from shyness, which is the purest emotional phenomenon of human beings.

Shame may also be caused by listening to indecent words or doing something wrong. This sense of shame shows that he still has a very precious thing called "shame" in his heart. It is not shameful to be "cheeky" or "old-fashioned", and people who are full of bureaucracy, kitsch and playfulness will not be embarrassed. People who base their temporary happiness on the suffering of others will not blush. People who burn public houses in order to cook an egg for themselves will never have such shame.

3. Not just rights

One day, my son came home from school. He said he finally had a magic weapon to beat me. He said he studied children's rights law at school! Through research, he knew:

His room need not be cleaned by him; His hair doesn't need to be cut; He doesn't have to eat anything I let him eat; He has the freedom to speak; He has the freedom to choose what books to read and what TV to watch; He can wear earrings; He can get a tattoo or make a hole in his nose if he wants. If I spank him, he can sue me. So, don't touch him, because his body belongs to him alone, not for me to hug or kiss; I can't lecture him like his grandmother treated me-it's called mind control and illegal! He has these rights and is protected by law. In the future, if I infringe his rights again, he will call the children's service department to complain about me!

It is good for a son to have legal awareness. However, I want him to know that there are not only laws in life, but also people have rights.

The next day, we went shopping. Although he begged, I didn't buy him Nike shoes and shirts that he liked. I asked me in front of his children's service department if it was legal to do so. The Children's Service Department clearly replied that they didn't care whether the shoes I bought him were famous brands or not. Then, I canceled the plan to take him to the driving school to learn driving; I refused to buy him ice cream and pizza. I said, wait a minute, there are pork liver and onions for dinner, because these are all my favorite foods, and he can eat them with me then.

I said, not only that, but I also want to sell the TV set in his room and use the money to buy some new tires for my car. By the way, I also want to rent out his room including his bed. Because the children's service department only asked me to let him have a place to live and the clothes and food he needed to satisfy his food and clothing. And I don't have to give him pocket money in the future, so I can save money and buy things for myself. I can not tell him stories, or even talk to him, because I also have my rights!

Suddenly, I stopped talking. I happened to see him fall. "Mom, I'm in pain ..." He fell to the ground and said.

"What do you think of mom? You can spoil the children's service department! " I sloped a smile.

4. Equality

A Polish student who was discriminated against in Berlin visited Einstein and asked him to write a letter of recommendation for him so that he could study in Berlin smoothly. After asking why, Einstein agreed to his request and drafted a passionate recommendation letter for him.

After receiving the recommendation letter, the grateful young man made another request: "Can I have a photo with your signature?"

He will always remember the celebrity who helped him generously.

"All right," Einstein went on, "but you have to promise to send me a photo with your signature, which will be equal."

It was this sentence that changed the young man's life. After getting the recommendation letter, the young man successfully entered a famous school in Berlin. He studied hard, became Einstein's right-hand man after graduation, and was famous for his article "Nonlinear Extension of Maxwell's Field Equation". He is Infield, a scientist who became famous in the field of physics.

Years later, the infield recalled this incident and still burst into tears: "His words made me feel equal and gave me confidence. His words are a powerful driving force for me to move forward ... Although he is wearing a wrinkled coat and a major button is missing from his pants, nothing can affect my great respect for him. "

5. Great love is speechless

More than ten years ago, I studied in a college for nationalities. Most students in the class come from remote and poor mountainous areas. Perhaps because of the remoteness and poverty of their hometown, they seldom talk to their families on the phone, but letters are common.

As a monitor, one of my jobs is to stand on the podium and send letters before lunch break every day. When a classmate's name is read, that classmate will come up to retrieve his letter. I noticed that the name "Dorje" came out of my mouth the most times, and it happened every week. Duoji is a Buyi nationality in Qiannan Autonomous Prefecture of Guizhou Province. Those letters were sent from Qiannan, so they are probably letters from home.

That day, I distributed letters on the podium again. After hearing this name, Dorje crossed the floor to get the letter. Maybe the edge of the envelope is broken. Just as I raised my hand, the letter inside floated out-it turned out to be a leaf. I saw that the leaf turned a few times in the air and slowly fell to the ground.

Everyone looked at Dorje in surprise, and his face went red with a bang.

"... my father is gone, only my mother, but she is blind. There is only one son in my family. My mother misses me, and I miss her, too. With the money from work-study program, I prepared hundreds of blank envelopes with addresses for her. I told my mother that if she was safe, she would give me a eucalyptus leaf. After I received the letter, I sent back eucalyptus leaves, but not one, but two. After the dried eucalyptus leaves are soaked in water, two pieces are put together, and mother can blow out a very crisp sound. My mother said that in that case, she would know that I was safe. She also said that the sound of eucalyptus leaves is like my voice calling her ... "

That day, I really understood the word for the first time-big love is speechless.

6. Understand suffering correctly

China people like to praise suffering, and there is a saying that "you can only be a master if you suffer". Nowadays, successful people like to say nothing about their past, and finally succeed with humiliation. Middle school students also like to eulogize their mothers' hardships and hardships, and eventually they will bring up their mothers themselves. But what caused the mother's pain? What did the children do to improve their mother's situation? Unless you intend to continue to let your mother enjoy the pain, these practical problems cannot be avoided.

In fact, suffering does not always lead to greatness.

On the contrary, in many cases, it destroys human dignity, hurts people's hearts and stifles the creativity of genius.

All actions without choice are morally worthless. Don't boast that laid-off workers are diligent and thrifty, and farmers dress simply. When passively engaged in something he absolutely has no choice, we should not blindly praise the efforts and courage of the victim, which will make us heartless.

There are no toilets in big cities, and citizens are ashamed to excrete at the foot of the wall, which is classified as "low quality"; In the past 30 years, a rural teacher saved money, bought bricks at his own expense and carried a school up the mountain with his bare hands, which was highly praised, but never mentioned the dereliction of duty of the education department; The morality cultivated by this culture is called "hiding traitors" by Lu Xun. It turns all practical problems that need to be improved into a selfless moral self-discipline problem.

This kind of suffering aesthetics is not worthy of praise.

7. Listen to the sound of the earth

The son failed. Come back from that city with depression. Mother is a mute. When she comes back from the vegetable garden, she will understand everything when she sees her son. When she draws by hand, she thinks she can't draw clearly. So she picked up the hoe she was going to put down, dug a piece of soil and handed it to her son.

That night, my son didn't sleep. The moonlight shines on the table of the Eight Immortals, and there is that piece of soil on the table of the Eight Immortals. The son looked at the dirt and lost in thought. Later, he seemed to feel the earth talking to him. Yes, it's no big deal. Even if you lose everything, you can't lose the soil in your hometown. Even if he is not taken in by any city, this soil will accept him. Even if failure follows, as long as it is a piece of soil, there is always a chance to germinate after sowing seeds.

The next day, he went on his way with that piece of dirt.

After 10 years of struggle and hard work, my son succeeded. I came back from the city under the bright light, my eyes were shining and I looked up at the sky with a twinkle in my eyes. Mother came back from the vegetable garden, obviously much older than 10 years ago. The son took his mother's hoe and blamed her. Why are you always so troublesome? You don't need this hoe anymore. Say that finish, just throw away the hoe. Mother painted as hard as a bee, and felt that the painting was unclear, so she picked up a hoe, dug a piece of soil and gave it to her son.

Just like that night 10 years ago, the moonlight lit up my son's small square table and the new soil on it. The scene in front of me made my son think and think, and then spent the night with the soil. The soil is always low and will not fall from a height, which is very painful. In the moonlight, only the soil is dark, it does not show people with light, and its light is always in the heart, so it has simple and powerful power. Soil will not be proud of being at the top, nor will it feel inferior because it is at the bottom. Every piece of soil is natural, calm and calm, so it is so extensive and profound.

The next day, my son left with deep shame.

Since then, my son's life has been low-key, introverted, modest, natural and calm.

A few years later, the partner who made a fortune with his son fell from a very high position in twos and threes, which was very painful. Only the son moves forward steadily step by step.

8. Real success

A friend of mine is an investor, and his boss is German. A few days ago, my boss went back to Germany, and my friend took on a risky investment business. Although he was not sure, his friend acted decisively by intuition and made the deal. It turned out that my friend's intuition was correct and made a fortune for the company. However, when the boss came back and asked him carefully, he flew into a rage and accused him of neglecting his duty and taking risks in investing, which made his friends unhappy.

So my friends and I told a story about Cao Cao.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao wanted to conquer Wuhuan in the north, thus unifying the north. At that time, many generals and counselors discouraged them. But Cao Cao boldly attacked, defeated Wu Huan and unified the north.

When Cao Cao led his army to victory, he began to order people to investigate those who opposed his northern expedition. Scared the daylights out of the generals and counselors who kindly dissuaded them, thinking that they were doomed.

Surprisingly, instead of blaming them, Cao Cao gave them a generous reward.

In this regard, Cao Cao explained: "It is really dangerous for us to attack Wuhuan in the north. Although God helped me and let us win by luck, this is by no means the right thing to do. The dissuasion of those people is the best solution, and we should reward them more. "

Before my story was finished, my friend was relieved and felt relieved. The boss's eccentric behavior made him a lucky man understand that not all successes are correct, and only the success achieved under the correct decision is the real success.

9. Learn to appreciate others

With the approach of Christmas, the town of Pukridge in the northwest suburb of Chicago, USA, is full of festive and warm festive atmosphere.

Xie Li, who is in middle school, is holding a stack of Christmas cards that she received not long ago, intending to show off in front of her good friend Hillary. Who knows that Hillary made ten times more Christmas cards than her, which made her envious.

"How do you have so many friends? Is there anything fishy in this? " Shelley asked in surprise.

Hillary told Shelley about an experience she had two years ago-

"One warm noon, my father and I took a walk in the suburban park. There, I saw an interesting old lady. The weather is so warm, but she is tightly wrapped in a thick cashmere coat and a fur scarf around her neck, as if it were snowing heavily. I gently took my father's arm and said,' Dad, look how ridiculous that old lady is.'

"At that time, my father's expression was particularly serious. He was silent for a while and said,' Hillary, I suddenly found that you lack a skill. You don't appreciate others. This proves that you are not sincere and friendly in dealing with others.

"Dad went on to say,' The old lady is wearing a coat and a scarf. Maybe she is well, but she still doesn't feel well. But look at her face. She is staring at a fragrant and beautiful lilac on the branch. Her expression is so vivid, don't you think it's cute? She longs for spring and likes beautiful nature. "I think this old lady is very touching!"

"Dad led me to the old lady and said with a smile,' Madam, the way you enjoy spring is really touching. "You make spring better!"

"The old lady seemed very excited:' Thank you, thank you! sir As she spoke, she took out a small bag of biscuits from her bag and handed it to me. "You are so beautiful ..."

"Afterwards, my father said to me,' We should learn to appreciate others sincerely, because everyone has advantages worthy of our appreciation. When you do this, you will have many friends. "

10. Tolerance

In the horizontal bar competition of Athens Olympic Games, 28-year-old Russian star Nemov made his third appearance. He conquered the audience with six beautiful "flying" movements on the uneven bars. But when he landed, he made a small mistake-he moved forward, so the referee only gave him 9.275 points.

At this time, a rare situation appeared in the history of the Olympic Games. The audience kept shouting, "Nemov! Nemov! ..... "And they all stood up, kept waving their hands, and used long and loud boos to express their anger at the referee. The game was interrupted-the fourth American player, paul hamm, was ready, but he had to stand awkwardly. Faced with such a scene, Nemov stood up, waved and bowed deeply to the cheering audience, thanking them for their love and support.

Under great pressure, the referee was forced to give Nemov a new 9.62. However, this score not only failed to calm the audience's dissatisfaction, but made the booing even louder.

At this time, Nemov returned to the arena, raised his right arm to greet the audience and bowed deeply to express his gratitude. Then he stretched out his right index finger and made a gesture of silence, and then his hands pressed down to ask the audience to calm down and give Paul Hamm a quiet game environment.

Nemov's tolerance allowed the game, which was interrupted for 65,438+00 minutes, to continue. Nemov, the hero who won 12 Olympic gold medals, is still the "champion" in the eyes of the audience, although he didn't win the gold medal in this competition. He didn't beat his opponent, but he conquered the audience with his tolerance.

1 1. Genius

/kloc-At the beginning of the 0/8th century, in the countryside of Russia, there was a very stupid child. He saw the math teacher doing four arithmetic problems as an example, and the final result was zero, so he thought that the results of all four arithmetic problems were zero, so he added a zero at the back when he met four arithmetic problems. The teacher could do nothing about the child but shake his head and sigh.

This silly boy is the Russian poet Pushkin who later wrote world famous works such as yevgeni onegin and the Captain's Daughter.

In the middle of the 20th century, a young man came to the department store on Wangfujing Street in Beijing. He asked the shop assistant to give him the change of 10 cents he was short. When the clerk checked with him for a long time and finally confirmed that a dime was missing, he gave it to him. The clerk thinks this man is incredible. Isn't it just a dime? Is it worth being so serious? Later, when he learned that he had taken a bus for a few cents from the dormitory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he even laughed: "Isn't this a big fool?"

He is Chen Jingrun, a mathematician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, who pushed the world-famous mathematical puzzle Goldbach conjecture to 1+ 1.

The creator is fair. If he gives you a long time, he gives you a short time. If he gives you a very long time, he will give you a very short time.

12. Philosophy of life

When I was in college, I listened to one of the most famous professors in the school in the auditorium. By the time I got to the auditorium, the seats near the podium and aisle on both sides of the auditorium had been occupied by others. The middle and rear seats that are inconvenient to get in and out are still available.

I chose a seat and sat down. Then I looked at the platform and saw the professor already sitting there. At this time, the students who listened to the lecture came one after another, and every seat in the auditorium was full of people.

The professor stood up, went straight down from the platform, came to the seat in the last row of the auditorium, pointed to a classmate in the middle of the seat and said, "Students, before starting today's lecture, please allow me to pay tribute to this classmate." After that, the professor bowed to his classmates.

The auditorium suddenly became silent, and everyone didn't know what happened.

The professor said slowly, "I bowed to this classmate because he chose to sit in it, which made me full of respect."

The auditorium became a bit chaotic. Everyone is whispering.

The professor said, "I was the first to come to the auditorium today. When you entered the auditorium, I found that many students who arrived first grabbed seats near the podium and aisle as soon as they came in. In their view, it must be the best location, convenient to get in and out, and close to the podium, and they can hear it clearly. It's just that when this classmate came, there were many seats in front and on both sides, but he went straight to the back of the auditorium and sat in the middle, which was inconvenient to get in and out. This classmate left the good position to others, but he would rather sit in the worst position. After I continued to observe, I found that those students who had seized the good seats they thought before actually suffered a lot, because the distance between the front row and the back row of the seats was small, and every latecomer had to stand up once to let the latecomers in. I counted, within half an hour, those students who seized the' good position' actually paid more than ten times the price of standing up because they only thought about their own behavior. " But the classmate sitting in the middle of the back row has been reading his book calmly, and no one has disturbed him. "

At this point, the professor paused, looked around the auditorium, then looked at everyone and said slowly: "Students, please remember: when you only have yourself in your heart, you actually leave the trouble to yourself; When you are thinking about others, in fact, others are unconsciously convenient for you ... "

As soon as the professor finished speaking, the audience applauded warmly-moved by the professor's unique way of teaching philosophy of life.
