After the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Zhao Shile gave a banquet to entertain his ministers. At the banquet, he asked a minister, "What kind of emperors do you think I can compare with?"
The minister boasted, "Your Majesty's wise SHEN WOO is better than Emperor Gaozu, and others are worse." Schleswig smiled and said, "You have gone too far. If I meet Emperor Gaozu, I can only be his servant, probably similar to Han Xin and Peng Yue. If I was born in Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, I could keep pace with him, and maybe whoever wins or loses. "
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. Lincoln
One day, Lincoln and his son took a bus to the street, and the street corner was blocked by passing troops. Lincoln asked a passerby, "What is this?" What he means is to ask which unit. People in the street thought he didn't know the army, and replied, "This is a federal army. You are such a fucking idiot. "
Lincoln said, "Thank you." He turned to his son seriously and said, "It is a kind of happiness to have someone telling the truth in front of you. I'm a fucking idiot. How can I ask? "
