1. Mrs. Thatcher’s father, Roberts, was a grocery store owner in the small town of Glenvincent, England. On Margaret's (Mrs. Thatcher's) 5th birthday, her father called her over and said earnestly: "Child, you must remember - you must have your own opinion in everything and use your own brain to judge things." Right and wrong, never follow what others say. This is the life motto given to you by your father. It is the most important birthday gift from your father! "From then on, Roberts devoted himself to raising his daughter to be a strong and independent child and determined to shape her." An independent personality who is rigorous, accurate, pays attention to details, and strictly distinguishes between right and wrong. With her father as a "life mentor", Margaret grew up solidly.

After Margaret entered school, she was surprised to find that her classmates had a freer and richer life than her own. The world outside of labor, study and worship was so vast and colorful. They play together in the streets, play games and ride bicycles. On Sunday, they went to have a picnic on the spring hillside again. Everything was so tempting. The young Margaret was itching in her heart. She fantasized about having the opportunity to play freely with her classmates. One day, she went home and mustered up the courage to tell her father, who was full of majesty, "Dad, I want to play too." Roberts' face darkened and he said, "You must have your own opinion! You can't do it just because your friend is doing something." If something happens, you have to go. You have to decide for yourself what to do, don't follow the crowd." Seeing that the child didn't speak, Roberts softened his tone and continued to persuade Margaret: "Son, it's not your father who restricts your freedom. You should have your own judgment and your own thoughts. Now is a great time for you to learn knowledge. If you want to be like other people and indulge in entertainment, you will definitely achieve nothing. Make your own decision." After listening to her father's words, little Margaret remained silent. Her father's words were deeply imprinted in her mind, and she thought: "Yeah, why should I imitate others? I have a lot of things to do of my own. I haven't finished the book I just bought. ”

Roberts often educates his daughter in this way, asking her to have her own opinions and ideals. Being independent and unique can best show a person’s personality. Following the crowd can only make the glory of personality submerged in all living things. .

Note: Margaret Thatcher, former British Prime Minister. During her tenure, she worked hard and achieved outstanding achievements, and was known as the "Iron Lady".

2. Lincoln's Steps

A little boy of about 1 year old was led by his young mother's hand to the square in the park. He had to climb a dozen steps. . The little boy broke away from his mother's hand and wanted to climb up by himself. He climbed up with his chubby little hands, and his mother had no intention of carrying him up. When he climbed two steps, he felt that the steps were very high. He looked back at his mother. She didn't mean to reach out to help him, but her eyes were full of love and encouragement. The little boy looked up again. He gave up the idea of ??letting his mother hold him and climbed up carefully using his hands and feet. It was very difficult for him to climb, his little buttocks were raised so high, his little face was flushed with exhaustion, his baby clothes were stained with dirt, and his little hands were dirty, but he finally climbed up. The young mother then stepped forward, patted the dirt on her son's body, and kissed his red little face.

This little boy was Lincoln who later became the 16th President of the United States. His mother is Nancy Hanks.

Lincoln’s father was a farmer and his family was extremely poor. Lincoln received formal education intermittently, which totaled less than one year. But Lincoln developed the good qualities of loving knowledge, pursuing learning, being kind and upright, and not afraid of hardships since he was a child. He couldn't afford paper and pens, so he used charcoal to write on wooden boards and small sticks to practice calligraphy on the ground. He spent all his time reading, studying, and practicing his speeches. Lincoln was unemployed, worked as a worker, and worked as a lawyer. From the age of 29, he began to run for parliament and president, trying 11 times and failing 9 times. At the age of 51, he finally aspired to the White House and achieved brilliant achievements, and was called "a hero of the world" by Marx. His mother, Nancy, unfortunately died of illness when Lincoln was 9 years old. But there is no doubt that she raised Lincoln with strong and great maternal love, making him brave and determined to move into the future.

It goes without saying that there are countless steps in a person's life - life, study and work. How to face and climb these steps in life? For children, should they hold hands, support them, or hold them? Different parents will have different answers. Obviously, if parents hold and support their children, the children will become dependent and often use their parents as a crutch and find it difficult to stand on their own. If parents carry their children up the stairs and swaddle them in their arms, then the children will become the "brought up generation", without having experienced hardships and exposure to the world, and it will be even harder for them to gain a foothold in society. Normally, the children have food to eat, clothes to put out their hands, are picked up and dropped off at school, read with them at night, and even when they are admitted to college, their parents have to work as "nannies". When a child looks for a job after graduating from college, his parents have to go to work to serve as a "job agent"... In this way, it is difficult for the child to become an independent adult and make a difference.

No matter how rich you are, you cannot enrich your children. You might as well let your children endure some hardships and have "steps" for them to climb on their own. In this way, the child may be able to "go all in one go" and reach the pinnacle of glory.

3. The story of Meng Ke’s hard study

In ancient times, there was a scholar named Meng Ke.

When he first went to school, he was very careful and wrote neatly and neatly. Soon, he felt that studying was too hard and it would be better to play outside and have fun. So he skipped school and often went to play in the woods on the hillside. He was so happy!

One day, when he returned home, his mother, who was weaving, asked him: "Why did you finish school so early?" He had to admit that he had skipped school. His mother said angrily: "I worked hard to weave cloth for you to study, but you skipped school. You are so worthless!" Little Meng Ke knelt down quickly to his mother.

My mother picked up the scissors and cut off the unfinished cloth at once, saying: "If you don't study hard, what use will this cut cloth have!"

Little Meng Ke cried and said: "I was wrong! I will never be playful again. I will study hard!" From then on, little Meng Ke studied diligently and never was lazy. Later he became a famous thinker.

4. When it comes to Luban, many people know it. In fact, Lu Ban is not named Lu, but Gongshu and Ban. Some books also write Gongshu Ban or Gongshu Pan. Because he was from the state of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of our country, people called him Lu Ban.

Lu Ban was born in 507 BC. His family has been craftsmen for generations. Lu Ban himself is a skilled craftsman and an outstanding inventor. There are many records and legends about him in history. To this day, the story of his invention is still widely circulated among the people.

Saws and Planes

Today, master carpenters use hand tools such as saws, drills, planes, shovels, and rulers. According to legend, the ink fountain used for drawing lines was invented by Lu Ban. The invention of every tool was researched by Luban through repeated trials in production practice.

Take the invention of the saw as an example. Once, the king ordered Luban to cut down 300 beams and columns within fifteen days to build a large palace. So Lu Ban took his disciples up the mountain. They got up early and stayed late, wielded their axes, and chopped down for ten days in a row. They were all exhausted, and in the end they only chopped down about a hundred big trees.

At this time, the bricks and stones were all ready, and the auspicious day chosen by the king to start construction was about to expire. If the wood is not ready when starting work, it will be punished by death. What to do? At night, Lu Ban lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He got up and walked up the mountain. Looking up, the morning star blinked at him, it was almost dawn.

Suddenly, Lu Ban felt that his hand was scratched by something. He raised his hand and saw that his calloused hand had a cut and blood seeped out. He looked around carefully and found that it was made of silk thatch. Lu Ban was surprised. He picked a blade of grass and found that there were many sharp teeth on the edge of the blade. When he turned around, he saw another big locust opening its two big fangs and eating grass blades quickly. Lu Ban caught a locust and saw that it also had sharp teeth on its fangs. Looking at the leaves of the silk grass and the large teeth of the locust, he suddenly felt enlightened.

He made a strip of bamboo from moso bamboo, with many saw teeth carved on it like silk grass leaves and locust slats. Use it to pull the tree, and the bark will break after just a few blows. With another force, a deep groove will appear in the trunk. However, over time, the saw teeth on the bamboo pieces were either pure or broken. At this time, Luban thought of Tie. He ran down the mountain and asked the blacksmith to make serrated iron bars based on the bamboo pieces he made, and used them to pull the tree. It was really fast!

This iron bar is the ancestor of the saw. With it, Lu Ban and his apprentices cut down 300 beams and columns in only thirteen days.

Lu Ban is a carpenter and works with wood all day long. He is very skilled and is particularly good at using an axe. He can chop wood into the desired shape in just a few strokes. The saying "everyone is trying to wield an ax" means that anyone who wants to wield an ax in front of Lu Ban is overestimating his ability. It can be seen from this that Lu Ban is proficient in using an axe.

However, Luban couldn't chop the wood smooth with an axe, especially when it came to wood with thick grain and many knots, it was even more difficult. In order to solve this problem, Lu Ban thought about it during the day and at night. He first made a thin axe, which he sharpened quickly. The cutting was much better than before, but it was still not ideal.

So Luban sharpened a small, thin axe, and covered it with a piece of iron, leaving only a narrow blade exposed. This time, Luban didn't cut it. He pushed against the wood with the narrow blade. With one push, the wood pushed down a thin layer of wood chips. After pushing it for more than a dozen times, the surface of the wood was flat and smooth, which was much better than using an ax to chop it in the past. But when I hold this thing in my hand and push it, it gets stuck in my hand and makes it difficult to exert force. Luban made another wooden base and placed it inside. This is how the plane was born.

When Lu Ban was doing carpentry work, he often encountered right angles. Although he had a moment for drawing right angles at hand, it was quite troublesome to use it. After Luban improved it, he made an "L" shaped wooden ruler, which was very convenient for measuring right angles! Later, people called it Luban Ruler. Because Lu Ban made such a great contribution to the improvement of woodworking tools, carpenters have respectfully called him their ancestor for more than two thousand years.

Stone mill and ladder

Lu Ban travels around all year round, working for others. On this day, he had been busy all morning and sat down to rest. Next to them, a family was preparing to cook, but there was no flour. They took some wheat, put it in a stone mortar, and pounded it with a heavy stone pestle. The person who pounded the wheat was so tired that he was sweating profusely, so he pounded only a little bit. Because the wheat kernels are oval-shaped, if the force is too small, they cannot be smashed; if the force is too strong, the wheat kernels will be smashed away, which is really annoying. At that time, people used this method.

Lu Ban was determined to reform it and solve people's difficulties. Another day, "Lu Ban came to another place to work, and happened to see an old lady pounding wheat. The old lady was too old to lift the stone pestle. She held the stone pestle and ground the wheat grains in the stone mortar. Lu Ban walked over and saw that many of the wheat grains in the stone mortar had been ground into powder.

When he returned home, Lu Ban asked his wife Yun to find two pieces. Stone. He cut the stone into two large discs, and carved grooves on one side of the disc. The neighbors were surprised that Lu Ban made it. What is it? Everyone gathered around to see. Lu Ban stacked the two discs together, put the one with the wooden handle on top, and put a shaft in the middle of the disc. The wheat grains were then turned on the stone plate, and the wheat grains were quickly ground into flour. Everyone was very happy. Luban really made a great contribution to people. "This has been widely used in rural areas of our country for more than two thousand years.

Lu Ban was not only a skilled craftsman who could make various daily necessities for the people, but also an outstanding mechanical inventor.

Lu Ban lived at a time when princes were competing for hegemony. , the war continued for years. At that time, every city had high and thick city walls. The soldiers who defended the city closed the city gates and stood guard on the city walls. The weapons in the hands of the attackers were only bows and arrows. It was difficult to capture the city with spears and the like. The city was often besieged for many days and could not be captured in a hurry.

The king of Lu ordered Lu Ban to make siege equipment. I remembered the short ladder I used when building a house. If I could climb the roof with the short ladder, wouldn't it be possible to build a long ladder and climb the high city wall? If I could shoot arrows on the ladder, wouldn't it be possible? Did he defeat the defenders? So Lu Ban built a "ladder" that could be erected on the ground and reach up to the high city wall, and people could stand on it to shoot arrows. , it evolved from this ladder.

According to ancient books, Lu Ban also built a "wooden carriage", which was built by Lu Ban for the funeral of his mother. It was equipped with a mechanism and was driven by a wooden man. On the day of the funeral, many people gathered around and admired the self-propelled wooden carriage.

According to legend, very early on. The working people of our country invented the lock, but it was not very dexterous and could be opened as soon as it was made. After Lu Ban improved it, it was much better. It cannot be opened without a key.

A diligent and intelligent family

p>

Lu Ban invented many things in his life. He once made a wooden bird that could flutter into the sky and not fall down for three days. He carved my country's earliest three-dimensional stone map. "Jiuzhou Map". After his death, people thought that whenever they saw the ingenious and beautiful buildings, they were made by Lu Ban, and they unanimously recognized him as a "skilled craftsman". "A clever man".

However, Lu Ban was not a genius who was born with the ability to invent and create, but because he lived among the working people. The hard-working and intelligent working people and their family inspired, educated and helped him. .

Lu Ban’s wife is also a skilled craftsman. When Luban was working, she was often there to help and come up with ideas. When Lu Ban was planing wood, Yun was standing on the opposite side. In this way, a person is wasted. Sometimes I can't stand it. So, Mrs. Yun nailed a wooden pin to the workbench to hold it against the wood.

Luban will be more confident when he digs again. Yunshi can also free up his hands to do other tasks. Later, people called this board "Ban Wives".

When Lu Ban went out to work, he often got soaked all over his body when it rained. Yun felt very sad when he saw this. One day, Lu Ban was building a pavilion. Yun went to deliver food. When she saw Tingjiu, she thought, Tingyu can shelter from the rain. If she makes a small movable pavilion and takes it with her, wouldn't she not be afraid of rain? She told Lu Ban to chop some bamboo when she came home from work.

Lu Ban brought back bamboo, and Yun split the bamboo into thin strips, woven it into a pavilion cover, and covered it with animal skins. This thing looks like a pavilion cover when opened, and becomes a stick when closed. Yun gave it to Lu Ban and said to him: "You build houses for people all day long, but the house cannot be moved. When you go out and it rains, you have no way to escape. Take it with you, even if you walk thousands of miles Besides, don’t be afraid! "This is the umbrella later.

Lu Ban created the ink fountain used by carpenters to draw lines. It was the result of his inspiration when he saw his mother using a powder bag to draw lines when cutting clothes.

When the ink fountain was first made, Luban had to ask his mother to help him hold one end of the ink thread every time he flicked the thread. Sometimes, my mother would have to put down her clothes or cook and rush to help. One day, Lu Ban's mother said to him: "You can be a little hook. Can't you hold the ink line for me?" When Lu Ban heard this, he thought, yes! He quickly made one. From then on, one person can play the ink line. Until now, carpenters still call this little hook "class mother"!

The reason why Lu Ban became a skilled craftsman lies in his hard practice. Selfless study.

Once, Lu Ban was carving a phoenix. Before they finished carving, someone started laughing and said, "Come and look! This man is so stupid! Look at the phoenix he carved. The head and the body of the phoenix he carved don't look alike. It's so ugly!" Regarding these unreasonable nitpicks, Sting Lu Ban ignored the people's ridicule. He continued to carve with his heart, one stroke at a time.

After the phoenix was carved, not only did it have a similar head and body, but it also flew. Even those who had laughed at him at the beginning had to applaud him.

These stories of Lu Ban tell us that his inventions and creations are the inventions and creations of the working people of our country. Luban's name is a symbol of the diligence and wisdom of the working people.

Lu Ban’s story also tells us that there is no such thing as a prophetic genius. As Mr. Lu Xun said, "Even a genius' first cry when he is born will be the same as that of an ordinary child, and it will never be a good poem." "Only those like Lu Ban who have the courage to practice, study hard, and are not afraid of hard work on the rugged path can hope to reach the glorious peak" and make greater contributions to mankind.
