1. When Einstein was in elementary school and middle school, his homework was ordinary and he did not like to interact with others. His teachers and classmates did not like him. The teacher who taught him Greek and Latin once publicly scolded him: "You will accomplish nothing." His father once wrote to a friend: "Einstein's homework results are not entirely in line with my hopes and expectations. For a long time, I'm used to seeing bad and good grades on his report card."
In 1915, Einstein published the general theory of relativity. His prediction that light will bend when passing through the gravitational field of the sun was confirmed by British astronomer Arthur Stanley Eddington's observations of a total solar eclipse in 1919. The gravitational waves he predicted in 1916 were also confirmed in 1978. Einstein and the theory of relativity have become household terms in the West.
Einstein was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his research on the photoelectric effect.
2. On the Dragon Boat Festival when Mao Yisheng was eleven years old, a lively dragon boat race was held on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing.
He made an appointment with his friends to go to the riverside to have a good look. But unfortunately, he suddenly fell ill the night before and had to stay at home.
On the day of Dragon Boat Festival, Mao Yisheng was lying on the bed, but his heart flew to the Qinhuai River. How he envied his little friend!
In the evening, the friends came back, all listless, with tears in their eyes. Mao Yisheng was very surprised. After asking, he found out that something happened on the Qinhuai River. Because there were so many people watching the dragon boat, an ancient arch called Wende Bridge collapsed, and many people fell into the river and drowned.
This is so unfortunate. Mao Yisheng stared blankly at the ceiling, and it took him a long time to say one sentence: "When I grow up, I must learn to build bridges and build the strongest bridge for everyone!"
From then on, Mao Yisheng Yi Sheng's mind was almost occupied by Qiao. Whenever he sees a bridge when he goes out, he always looks up and down carefully. When he reads something about a bridge, he immediately copies it down in his notebook. He has countless pictures and photos of various bridges in his collection. Because of this, he even got the nickname "Xiaoqiao Fan"!
3. Hua Tuo has been fond of reading since he was a child, has a spirit of research, and is very interested in medicine. Under the education of his mother, Xiao Hua Tuo determined not to seek official position, but to be a good doctor and to save the people and the world.
Later, my mother contracted a strange disease, with alternating colds and hotness, pain all over her body, and swollen skin and flesh. Hua Tuo invited famous doctors to treat his illness, but there was no success. Before her death, her mother said to Hua Tuo: "My child, remember that both your parents were tortured to death by this weird disease. I hope you can learn medical skills as soon as possible so that the people will suffer less from the disease!"
The death of his mother inspired Hua Tuo to study medicine and help all living beings. He came to the city to study medicine under Dr. Cai, his father's good friend during his lifetime. Dr. Cai didn't want to accept Hua Tuo as his disciple at first, but when he thought about it, Hua Tuo's father was his old friend when he was alive. It would be too unkind to ignore his friend after his death.
So, he wanted to take the test of Hua Tuo. If he was a candidate for becoming a doctor, he would accept him; if he was not qualified, he would not accept him.
Dr. Cai has made up his mind. He saw several apprentices picking mulberry leaves in the yard, but the mulberry leaves on the highest branches were out of reach, so he asked Hua Tuo, "Can you try to pick the highest mulberry leaves?" Hua Tuo said, "Yes. "He asked someone to take a rope, tie it with a pebble, and throw the rope over the branch. The branch was pressed down, and the mulberry leaves were picked. Dr. Cai saw two goats fighting again, and his eyes turned red. No one could pull them apart, so he said, "Hua Tuo, can you pull these two goats apart?" Hua Tuo said again, "Yes. ”
I saw him pulling out two handfuls of fresh grass and placing them next to the sheep. The fighting sheep were already hungry. When they saw the fresh grass, they were busy grabbing the grass to eat, and naturally dispersed without fighting. .
Dr. Cai saw that Hua Tuo was so smart and accepted him as his disciple. Later, Hua Tuo studied hard with his master and paid attention to practice, and finally became a famous and well-known doctor supported by others.

Finally, a waiter in the restaurant saw Henry Ford sitting alone for so long, and reluctantly walked to the table and asked him if he wanted to order.
Henry Ford nodded quickly and said yes, and the waiter impatiently threw the menu rudely onto his table. Henry Ford had just opened the menu and read a few lines when he heard the disdainful words of the waiter: "You don't need to read the menu in too much detail. You should only read the part on the right (meaning the price), and the part on the left (meaning the price). dishes), you don’t have to bother to look at it!”
Henry Ford raised his head in surprise, and his eyes met the waiter’s disdainful expression, which made Henry Ford very angry at the moment. When he was annoyed, he couldn't help but want to order the most expensive meal. But as soon as he thought about it, he remembered the pitiful salary in his pocket. As a last resort, he gritted his teeth and ordered only one hamburger.
The waiter snorted from his nostrils and took back the menu in Henry Ford's hand arrogantly. Although he did not say anything, the expression on his face clearly told Henry Ford: "I You know, you, a poor boy, can only afford to eat hamburgers!"
After the waiter left, Henry Ford did not continue to be angry because he spent money. Instead, he calmed down and thought carefully about why he could only order the food he could afford, but not the meal he really wanted to eat.
Henry Ford was determined to become a member of society. Top people. From then on, he began to move towards his dream, and gradually became a powerful car king from an ordinary car repairman.
