Everyone is familiar with the story of Kong Rong in the Three Kingdoms period. One day, a group of guests came to visit their home. Everyone praised Kong Rong's cleverness, but only one senior official dismissed it. The official said that "youth is desirable, but not necessarily good", implying that Kong Rong will not be smart when he grows up. Seven-year-old Kong Rong retorted: "If you want to be young, you must be young." The senior official was ashamed and embarrassed and ran away. Later, they became good friends with Kong Rong, and therefore became the younger generation of Kong Rong's father, although they were originally peers.
Speaking of Newton, the pioneer of modern science, people may think that he must have been a "prodigy" and "genius" with extraordinary intelligence when he was a child. In fact, Newton's childhood was thin and his mind was not smart. When I was studying in my hometown, I didn't study hard and got poor grades in my class. But he has a wide range of interests and his game skills are higher than those of ordinary children. Where there is a will, there is a way. After diligent study, Newton laid a solid foundation for his tower of mathematics. Soon, Newton's math tower was built. He invented differential calculus at the age of 22 and integral calculus at the age of 23, which made great contributions to the cause of human mathematics. Newton was a very modest man and never conceited. Someone once asked Newton, "What is the secret of your success?" Newton replied, "If I have a little success, there is no other secret but diligence."
