1, built the first telescope.

Copernicus was an outstanding Polish astronomer. After 40 years of astronomical observation, he put forward "Heliocentrism". He thinks that the center of the universe is the sun, not the earth. The earth is an ordinary planet, which revolves around the sun while rotating. Galileo believed in Copernicus' "Heliocentrism" very early.

1608 One day in June, Galileo discovered an empty tube with a convex mirror embedded in one end and a concave mirror embedded in the other end, and made the world's first small astronomical telescope. Experiments show that it can enlarge the original object three times. Galileo was not satisfied, so he further improved and made another one. He took this telescope and ran to the seaside, only to see the vast sea rolling and not seeing a boat.

However, when he picked up the telescope and looked into the distance, a ship was coming to the shore from a distance. Practice has proved that it can be enlarged by 8 times. Galileo continued to improve and manufacture, and finally, his telescope could enlarge the original 32 times.

2. Li Ka-shing

Li Ka-shing was born in a scholarly family in a busy street in Chaozhou. Smart and detached from childhood, he studied hard. From 65438 to 0939, the Japanese invaders invaded Chaoshan and fled to Hong Kong with their parents. They experienced war, poverty and famine, and also cultivated the spirit of hard work. 1950, Mr. Li Ka-shing, 22, named after the mother river of the Chinese nation, founded "Changjiang Plastic Factory" to express his childlike innocence.

After decades of efforts, in 1988, he has owned five major companies, including Changjiang Industry, Hutchison Whampoa and HEC, as well as more than 100 affiliated companies and more than 50 joint ventures, forming a well-funded and powerful "economic kingdom" of Li. In 2000, he himself became one of the five richest people in the world.

Mr. Li has gone from noodle restaurant to the world, and his position is so prominent, but he is still so humble and peaceful. On one occasion, Mr. Li attended the groundbreaking ceremony of Shantou University. Originally, as the founder of Shantou University, he should have written his name on the first page of the VIP roster, but Mr. Li didn't and signed his name on the third page.

In this banquet, regardless of his position, he toasted, shook hands and talked with every guest, without making people feel "isolated" at all. Mr Li Ka-shing is one of the few rich people in the world, but he is not arrogant and extravagant. He still insists on frugality, honesty, health, indifference, quietness and unpretentious.

3. The Secret of Gravity and Light

When Newton was twenty-three, there was a plague in London. In order to prevent students from being infected, Cambridge University informed students to leave school and go home to avoid the epidemic, and the school was temporarily closed. Newton returned to his hometown of Lincolnshire. In the days when he didn't go to school in the country, he never stopped studying and researching. The basic work of gravity, calculus, optical analysis and other inventions was completed during this period.

At that time, children in rural areas often used slings for several rounds and then threw stones far away. They can also hold a bucket of milk over their heads without the milk falling down. These facts made him suspicious: "What is the power to keep the stones in the slingshot and the milk in the bucket from falling?" For this question, he once thought of Kepler and Galileo.

He went from vast space, endless planets, cold moon to huge earth, and then thought about the interaction between these giants. At this time, Newton plunged into the calculation and verification of "gravity". Newton plans to use this principle to verify the laws of the planets in the solar system. He first deduced the distance from the moon.

Otto Varahau is the winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

His success is legendary. When Varahao was in middle school, his parents chose a literary path for him. Unexpectedly, after a semester, the teacher wrote him such a comment: "Varahao is very diligent, but too rigid." Even if such a person is perfect in morality, he will never be able to play in literature. " At this time, parents had to respect their son's opinion and let him learn oil painting instead.

Cabala Hao is neither good at composition nor retouching, and his understanding of art is not strong. His grades are the lowest in the class, and the school's comments are even more unacceptable: "You are an outstanding talent in painting art." Faced with such a "clumsy" student, most teachers think that he is hopeless. Only the chemistry teacher thinks that he is meticulous and has the quality to do chemical experiments well, and suggests that he try to learn chemistry.

My parents took the advice of the chemistry teacher. This time, the spark of Vallahau's wisdom was ignited. The "untraceable genius" of literature and art has suddenly become a "promising gifted student" recognized by the chemical community. Finally won the Nobel Prize in chemistry. US Senator Ai Mo Thomas 16 was tall and thin, and other little boys called him "thin bamboo pole".

He worries about his tall, thin and weak figure all the time every day. Later, a speech contest made him make a big turn. Encouraged by his mother, he spent a lot of time preparing his speech. He memorized all his speeches, then practiced 100 times for cows, sheep and trees, and finally won the first prize.

5. Vallahau Wisdom

When US Senator Ai Mo Thomas 16 years old, he was tall but thin. Other little boys call him "thin bamboo pole", and he worries about his tall, thin and weak figure all the time every day. Later, a speech contest made him make a big turn. Encouraged by his mother, he spent a lot of time preparing his speech. He recited all the speeches.

Then I practiced 100 times against cattle and sheep trees, and finally won the first prize. The audience cheered for him and laughed at his boys with envy. Since then, his confidence has increased thousands of times, and he has gradually moved towards the door of success. Recalling the past, he said: "When I was wearing my father's old clothes and those big shoes that almost fell off, that kind of worry, shyness and inferiority almost ruined me.

At this point, we can appreciate the philosophy that "knowing yourself" is the expression of human wisdom, and "changing yourself" is the stepping stone to a successful life. As long as you dare to break through your fragile heart and take action, you can surpass yourself. The "ugly duckling" will become the most beautiful, energetic and valuable person in the world.

One day, the great philosopher Schopenhauer was walking in the garden in the street. A gardener saw this strange-looking man bend over and whisper to the bush for a while, and then put his ear to the petals falling on his shoulder with concentration. The gardener is worried that this eccentric young man may be mentally ill. Just ask who he is. Schopenhauer looked up, stared at the gardener with a puzzled face and walked away.

Anderson, an American, was a master of American literature in the early 20th century, and his "Freaks in a Small Town" had already been published in China. He started a business when he was young and became a big boss in a steel company when he was middle-aged. You know how promising the development prospect of American steel industry was, and you will know how successful his career was.

He came to Europe, he studied writing, and he wanted to write the voice in his heart. For this voice, he chose another life. Anderson's reputation in the world is obviously not as good as Gauguin's (although one of them is a painter who became a monk halfway and the other is a writer who became a monk halfway), but as a big capitalist, he dared to make such a choice because they heard his inner voice.
