The story of celebrity growth

1February, 809 12, abraham lincoln was born in a peasant family. When he was a child, his family was poor, so he didn't have a chance to go to school. He works with his father in the western wasteland every day. He himself said: "When I entered school in my life, it was less than a year." But Lincoln was studious and asked others for advice whenever he had the chance. No money to buy paper and pens. He always holds a book in his arms when herding cattle, chopping wood and digging the ground. During the break, he ate hard and cold bread and read with relish. In the evening, he often reads under a small oil pan until late at night.

When he grew up, Lincoln left his hometown and went out to make a living alone. He has done everything, worked as a short-term worker, worked as a sailor, a shop assistant, a village postman, a land surveyor, and also did heavy work of logging and chopping wood. No matter what he does, he is very serious and responsible, honest and trustworthy.

As a teenager, he worked as a clerk in the village grocery store. On one occasion, a customer overpaid a few cents, and it took him more than ten miles to return it. On another occasion, he found that he had given the customer two or two teas less, so he ran several miles to deliver the tea to that family. He is honest, diligent and modest, and is loved by people around him wherever he goes.

1834, at the age of 25, Lincoln was elected as a senator from Illinois and began his political career. 1836 became a lawyer through the examination.

When he became a lawyer, he was proficient in law, eloquent and famous in the local area. Many people came to him for help in the lawsuit. But he defended the client on one condition, that is, the client must be a fair party. Many poor people have no money to pay for their labor, but just tell Lincoln: "I am just, please help me to do justice." Lincoln will defend him for free.

Once, a rich man asked Lincoln to defend him. After listening to the client's statement, Lincoln found that the man was framing a good man, so he said, "I'm sorry, I can't defend you because your behavior is unfair."

The man said, "Mr. Lincoln, I just want you to help me fight this unfair lawsuit." As long as I win the case, you can ask for any reward. "

Lincoln said seriously: "As long as you use a little skill in court defense, your case is easy to win, but the case itself is unfair." If I take your case, when I stand in front of the judge and speak, I will say to myself,' Lincoln, you are lying.' Lies can only be said out loud when you lose your conscience. I can't lose my conscience and I can't lie. So ask someone else. I can't help you "

The man listened and left Lincoln's office silently without saying a word.

Lu Xun was born on September 25th, 188 1 year. He was born in a humble scholar-bureaucrat family in Fangkou, Duchang, Shaoxing. Lu Xun, formerly known as Zhou Shuren, died young. He is a famous writer, thinker and revolutionary in modern China.

Lu Xun was clever and diligent since childhood. San Tan Yin Yue is a famous private school in Shaoxing in the late Qing Dynasty. When Lu Xun was twelve years old, he went to San Tan Yin Yue to study, where he studied poetry for nearly five years. Lu Xun's seat is in the northeast corner of the study, which makes him use a hardwood desk. Now this wooden table is still in Lu Xun Memorial Hall.

When Lu Xun was thirteen, his grandfather was arrested and imprisoned for the imperial examination case. His father has been ill for a long time and his family is getting poorer and poorer. He often goes to the pawnshop to sell valuable things, and then buys medicine for his father at the drugstore. On one occasion, when his father was seriously ill, Lu Xun went to pawn shops and pharmacies early in the morning, and when he came back, the teacher had already started classes. Seeing that he was late, the teacher said angrily, "Teenagers still sleep late and are late for class. Don't come next time you are late. "

Lu Xun nodded, made no excuses for himself, and quietly returned to his seat with his head down.

The next day, he came to school early, carved the word "early" on the upper right corner of the desk with a knife, and secretly vowed that he would get up early and never be late again.

In the later days, his father's illness became more serious. Lu Xun went to the pawnshop to sell things more frequently, and then went to the drugstore to buy medicine. A lot of work at home fell on Lu Xun's shoulders. He gets up early every day before dawn, takes care of things at home, then goes to pawn shops, pharmacies and private schools for classes. Although the family has a heavy burden, he has never been late again.

In those hard days, whenever he panted and ran into the private school on time and saw the word "early" on the desk, he would feel happy and thought, "I have overcome difficulties and fulfilled my promise again. I will definitely redouble my efforts to be a trustworthy person. "

Later, when his father died, Lu Xun continued to study in San Tan Yin Yue. Shou, a teacher in a private school, is a founder, simple and knowledgeable person. The teacher's personality and academic spirit, the three pools that once left a deep memory for Lu Xun, and the desk engraved with the word "algae" have always inspired Lu Xun to move forward on the road of life.

Lu Xun graduated from San Tan Yin Yue at the age of seventeen and was admitted to the free Jiangnan Naval Academy at the age of eighteen. Later, I went to Japan to study western medicine at public expense. From 65438 to 0906, Lu Xun gave up medicine and began to engage in literary creation. He taught in Peking University, Beijing Normal University and other schools and became an advocate of the New Literature Movement in China. Lu Xun is a giant in China's literary world. All his works are included in The Complete Works of Lu Xun, which have been translated into more than 50 languages and widely spread all over the world.

1796 One day, at the University of G? ttingen in Germany, a 19-year-old young man was extremely talented in mathematics. After dinner, he began to do three routine math problems assigned to him by his tutor.

As usual, the first two topics were successfully completed in two hours. The third question, written on a small piece of paper, is to make a positive 17 polygon with only compasses and an uncalibrated ruler. The more young people do, the more tired they feel. At first, he thought, maybe my tutor saw that my daily problems were going well, and this time it added to my troubles. However, with the passage of time, no progress has been made on the third question. Young people have racked their brains, but they can't think of any help to solve this problem.

Difficulties aroused the young people's fighting spirit: I must do it! He picked up a compass and a ruler and drew on the paper, trying to find the answer with some unconventional ideas.

Finally, when there was a glimmer of light outside the window, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, and he finally made this difficult problem!

Young people feel a little guilty and blame themselves when they meet their mentor. He said to his tutor, "The third question you assigned me, I worked all night and failed to live up to your cultivation ..."

When the tutor took over the young man's homework, he was shocked at once. He said to the young man in a trembling voice, "Did you really do this yourself?" The young man looked at the excited tutor with some doubts and replied, "Of course, but I was so stupid that it took me all night to make it." The tutor asked the young man to sit down, took out the compass and ruler, spread the paper on the desk, and asked the young man to make a positive 17 polygon in front of him.

The youth quickly made a regular 17 polygon. The tutor said excitedly to the young man, "Do you know that you have solved a math unsolved case with a history of more than 2,000 years? Archimedes didn't solve it, Newton didn't solve it, and you solved it overnight! You are a genius! " Many years later, when the young man recalled this scene, he always said, "If someone told me that this is a math problem with a history of more than 2,000 years, I could not solve it for one night."

This young man is Gauss, the prince of mathematics.

Some things can often be done better when we don't know how difficult it is!

Gorky spent most of his childhood in his grandfather's house. Grandpa's house looks very big from the outside, and it is a low bungalow compound. But as soon as you walk in, you will find it very crowded. The exterior wall is painted with pink paint, but it looks dirty; The eaves are very low, and the windows of the room protrude outwards, which is very crowded. The yard was crowded with people and covered with wet cloth. There are buckets everywhere on the ground. The water in the bucket is colorful and the cloth is soaked in it. There is a particularly unpleasant smell in the air.

When I first came to Nizhny Novgor Road from astrakhan, my grandfather's family was a big family, and many members lived together. There are grandpa Kashirin, grandma Kulina, uncle Mikhail, uncle Yakov, aunt Natalia, two cousins named Sasha, cousin Kayelena, and apprentices and employees in the workshop. This is a vulgar ordinary citizen family.

When I first met my grandfather, Gorky deeply remembered his appearance: a thin old man with a hooked nose, green eyes and a golden beard; Wearing a wrinkled printed shirt and patched pants. This makes Gorky a little scared and curious.

Kashirin is a selfish and greedy workshop owner. Although he is not a noble, he is already rich compared with ordinary people. The two uncles are used to enjoying a delicious and well-fed life, and the embarrassed life of ordinary citizens is unbearable for them. They learned Kashirin's printing and dyeing skills, inherited the miserliness and greed of old Kashirin, and because they never suffered setbacks in their lives, they developed rude and outrageous living habits. In the words of Grandma Gorky, they are "family idiots". Such families were everywhere in Russia at that time, with weak feelings between relatives, mutual hatred and competition for property and life.

Both uncles are wandering youths who have nothing to do. They often fight, drink, fool around and even kill their wives at home. Gregory, an old man in the workshop, secretly told Gorky Jr.: "There are no good people in the Kashlin family except your grandmother."

Apart from his mother, his grandmother is the only person Gorky is close to in this family. Her full name is Kurina Ivan Novna. She is a fat old woman with a round head, a lot of hair, big eyes and a big soft nose. The whole person seems to be made of soft sponge. When she smiled, her black eyes lit up, revealing an unspeakable pleasure. Her teeth are white, and overwork makes her look a little black.

My grandmother is also an orphan. When she was a child, she had to eat. She didn't go to school or read a book. When she was young, she was a female lace weaver. She is a kind old woman. She told Gorky many beautiful and vivid fairy tales and folk songs when she was a child, and deeply rooted her longing for a better life and persistence in social justice in the young Gorky's heart.

"She suddenly took me out of the darkness, into the light, and brought beautiful light rings to things around me! She is my forever friend, the person I know best, and I know her best! Her selfless love guides me, so that I will not lose the courage to live in any difficult and difficult environment! "

Gorky loves listening to grandma sing and tell stories, and he is often fascinated. Gorky heard the story from his grandmother that the virgin visited the world of suffering and rebuked the duchess of Anleichaiwa, a female robber. Alexei, the brave warrior Ivan, the wise Lisa Xihua, the ram priest and godson of God, the Queen of Gongmafa, the old woman Usda and the robber leader, the guilty Egyptian woman Mary, the vicious supervisor, the sorrow of the robber mother, and so on.

Young Gorky is very clever and has a good memory. His mind is full of his grandmother's songs and stories, which makes him often speak like his grandmother, and it doesn't take him long to make up a song.
