The story of celebrity growth

A little boy almost thinks that he is the most unfortunate child in the world. Because of polio, he became lame and his teeth were uneven. He seldom plays games or plays with his classmates. When the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always kept his head down and said nothing.

In an ordinary spring, the little boy's father asked his neighbor for some saplings. He wants to plant them in front of the house. He told his children to plant one each. Father told the children that whoever planted the best sapling would buy a favorite gift. The little boy also wants to get a gift from his father. However, when I saw my brother and sister skipping around watering the tree, I somehow had a cold idea: I hope the tree I planted will die soon. So after watering it once or twice, I never paid attention to it again.

A few days later, when the little boy went to see the tree he planted again, he was surprised to find that it not only did not wither, but also grew a few new leaves, which looked greener and more lively than the trees planted by his brothers and sisters. Father fulfilled his promise, bought a favorite gift for the little boy, and told him that judging from the trees he planted, he would be an excellent botanist when he grew up.

Since then, the little boy has gradually become optimistic.

One night, the little boy lay in bed and couldn't sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly remembered what the biology teacher once said: plants usually grow at night, so why not go and see the little tree he planted? When he came to the yard softly, he saw his father throwing something under the tree he planted with a spoon. Suddenly, he understood everything. It turns out that his father has been secretly fertilizing the young trees he planted! He went back to his room and let the tears flow freely. ......

Decades later, the lame boy did not become a botanist, but he became the president of the United States. His name is franklin roosevelt.

Love is the best nourishment in life, and a spoonful of water can also make the tree of life thrive. Maybe that tree is so ordinary and unremarkable; Perhaps the tree is so thin and even withered, but as long as it is watered with this nutrient, it can flourish and even grow into a towering tree.

Hunting with eagles

Hawking, a scientist, seems to have a weak learning ability when he was a child. He learned to read very late. After school, he never got into the top 65,438+00 in his class. Moreover, because his homework is always "untidy", his teachers think he is "hopeless" and his classmates regard him as the object of ridicule. When Hawking 12 years old, two boys in the class took a bag of candy and bet that he would never succeed. The classmates ironically nicknamed him "Einstein". Who knows, after more than 20 years, the little boy who was not outstanding in those days really became a master of physics. What is the reason?

As it turns out, with the growth of age, Hawking became interested in how everything works. He often takes things apart to get to the bottom of them, but when he reassembles them, there is nothing he can do. However, his parents didn't punish him for it, and his father even gave him a "coach" in math and physics. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, Hawking found himself very interested in the study of physics. Although middle school physics is too easy and simple, it is particularly boring, but he thinks it is the most basic science, which is expected to solve the problem of where people come from and why they are here. Since then, Hawking has started a real scientific exploration.

Drill a hole in the wall to get some light from the neighbor's house (study very hard)

During the Han Dynasty, Kuang Heng was very studious as a teenager. As his family is poor, he has to do a lot of work during the day to earn money. Only at night can he sit down and read. However, he can't afford candles, so he can't read when it is dark. Kuang Heng was heartbroken at this time-wasting behavior, and his heart was very painful. His neighbor's family is very rich. At night, light candles in several rooms to make them bright. One day, Kuang Heng summoned up his courage and said to his neighbor, "I want to study at night, but I can't afford candles. Can I borrow an inch of your house? " Neighbors have always looked down on people who are poorer than their family, so they said viciously and sarcastically, "Since you are too poor to buy candles, what books are you reading?" Kuang Heng was very angry, but he decided to read the book well.

When Kuang Heng came home, he quietly cut a small hole in the wall, through which the neighbor's candlelight came in. With this faint light, he eagerly began to read books and gradually finished reading all the books at home.

After reading these books, Kuang Heng felt that his knowledge was far from enough, and his desire to continue reading more books was even more urgent. There is a big family nearby with many books. One day, Kuang Heng rolled up his bedding and appeared in front of a big house. He said to his host, "please take me in, and I will work for you at home for free." Just let me read all your books. " The host was moved by his spirit and agreed to his request to borrow books.

This is how Kuang Heng studied diligently. Later, he became the prime minister of the Han and Yuan emperors and became a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty.

The story of Song Lian.

Song Lian liked reading when he was a child, but his family was poor. I have no money to buy books, so I have to borrow them from others. Every time I borrow a book, he tells me the deadline, returns it on time and never breaks the contract. People are willing to lend them to him.

Once, he borrowed a book, and the more he read it, the more he couldn't put it down, so he decided to copy it. But the deadline for returning the book is coming. He had to copy books overnight. It's the middle of winter and the twelfth month, dripping into ice. His mother said, "Son, it's midnight. It's cold. Copy it at dawn. People are not waiting for this book to read. " Song Lian said, "No matter how many people are waiting to read this book, it must be returned before the deadline. This is a question of credit and a sign of respect for others. If you are dishonest in what you say and do, how can you get the respect of others? "

Once again, Song Lian is going to consult a famous person in the distance and make an appointment to meet. Who knew it would snow on the day of departure? When Song Lian picked up her luggage and was ready to go on the road, her mother said in surprise, "How can you travel far in this weather?" Besides, the teacher has closed the mountain in heavy snow. Your old cotton-padded jacket can't resist the cold in the mountains! Song Lian said, "Mom, if you don't start today, you will misunderstand your apprenticeship and you will miss your appointment. "To stand up is to disrespect the teacher. No matter how heavy the snow is, I will go. "

When Song Lian arrived at the teacher's house, the teacher was deeply praised and said, "Young people, keep promises and study hard, and will definitely achieve something in the future!" "

Li Bai played truant when he was a child, and was inspired by "as long as he worked hard, the iron pestle was ground into a needle", so he read angrily.

Gan used to be a bully, but later he began to study and became a general under Sun Quan.

Zhou Chu was originally a bad guy, but later he realized his mistake, turned over a new leaf and became a scholar.

The story of Washington

Washington was the first president of the United States. When he was young, he cut down his father's two cherry trees. His father came back and was very angry. He thought to himself, "If I find out who cut down my tree, I will give him a good beating." His father asked everywhere. When he asked his son, Washington began to cry. "I cut down your tree!" Washington confessed. The father picked up his son and said, "I am a clever boy." I would rather lose a hundred trees than listen to your lies. "

Lenin is still a child.

Lenin was a child who studied hard when he was a child. Lenin did well in every subject at school. The teacher gave a lecture and he listened carefully. He did the homework left by the teacher carefully. Lenin finished his studies and read many extracurricular books. He often tells stories in books to others. He loves the hardworking and brave people in the book and follows their example. Lenin took great care of books. He never gets his books dirty or litters them. This is how Lenin studied when he was a child.

Turgenev and His Childhood Life

Turgenev (18 18- 1883) occupies an important position in Russian realistic literature in the19th century. He wrote poetry in his early years, and wrote plays, essays and other genres in his 40 s and 50 s. He completed many excellent novels, novellas and short stories in his life. He is good at observing new thoughts in social life, caring about major social issues and striving for the truth of life. In his nearly half-century creative career, through a series of works, he keenly reflected a series of major events in the Russian liberation movement and the development of social thought. His achievements in art are outstanding. For example, he has made his own contributions to the expression of characters' inner feelings, the description of natural scenery, the structure of novels and the development of Russian literary language, which has promoted the development of Russian and even world literary circles. He is one of the representative writers of Russian realistic generalized literature. Ivan sergeevich turgeneve was born on 18 18 1 1 9/month in L 'Oré al province in central Russia. He spent his childhood in his mother's manor, Koye-Lutovino Hot Springs. Some of his works were also completed here. The beautiful natural scenery of oriole province had a far-reaching influence on Turgenev and promoted the growth of his outstanding talent in describing natural scenery. Turgenev's mother, varvara Petrovna Tourgenev, is a very headstrong and bossy landlady, and the prejudice and bad habits of the nobles are very prominent in her. She is cruel and often punishes servants. Sometimes, because of a small mistake, she does not exile serfs to Siberia. Varvara Petrovna's temperament is also reflected in his attitude towards his son. She thinks that children can't succeed without struggle. Turgenev later recalled: "When I was growing up, hitting people, screwing people, hitting them, slapping them in the face and so on became commonplace." The cruelty of serf owners was intolerable to Turgenev. Turgenev hated the atrocities of serf owners in his childhood.

An "imbecile" who likes to ask strange questions-Einstein

The physicist Einstein (1879— 1955) was born in Germany. 1900 graduated from Zurich University of Technology and became a Swiss citizen. 1940 became an American citizen. He has made great contributions in many fields of physics, the most important of which is the establishment of special relativity and its extension to general relativity. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 192 1 for his contribution to physics, especially the discovery of the law of photoelectric effect. Einstein was one of the greatest scientific giants in the 20th century. The concept and method of relativity he founded had a far-reaching impact on the development of theoretical physics, and even had the great significance of "changing the world". So how did such a giant of science spend his childhood? 1882, Einstein came to this world for three years, but he was not as naive and lively as other children, who loved to talk and laugh. He always likes to sit quietly in the living room, cocked his head and listened carefully to the beautiful and moving music flowing from his mother's fingers. Mother looked at him intently and said with a happy smile, "Look at your serious appearance, just like a professor! Hey, my little baby, why don't you talk? " Einstein moved his lips and didn't answer his mother's question, but his sparkling eyes kept blinking, revealing the light of happiness. His heart has realized the beauty and fluency of music, but he can't say it. Einstein's father likes outing and often takes his whole family to the wild happily. Little Einstein likes this activity very much. Beautiful lakes and mountains, towering trees, singing pine trees and golden sunshine all intoxicated him. However, he doesn't like to talk and can't express himself in words. And his sister is like a lark, singing and laughing all the way. The children in the neighborhood often play games together, and the little ones sing, jump and scream heartily together, but there is no Einstein in it. He likes to sit quietly in the corner of the living room and play with building blocks for a long time, and then sit quietly and admire his masterpieces. In this way, little Einstein is four or five years old and still can't speak. At this time, his parents were a little worried: "Is he an imbecile or a fool?" His parents called a doctor for him at once, but nothing was wrong. In the eyes of ordinary people, Einstein Jr. is not a clever boy, on the one hand, because he can't speak well, on the other hand, because he always asks some strange questions, which makes people feel a little silly, and adults even doubt whether his IQ is disabled. People can't understand that the seemingly ridiculous and ignorant questions raised by this young child originally came from a strong thirst for knowledge in the unknown world. Einstein's little brain, which is mistaken for mediocrity and low energy, is full of incomprehension and almost restless in this strange world. One day when Einstein was four or five years old, his father gave him a small toy-a compass. Little Einstein, who was curious about new things, was in high spirits and immediately put it down. There is a compass needle in the middle, the tip of which is painted red, trembling and always stubbornly pointing to the north. Einstein carefully turned the plate, trying to secretly change the direction of the pointer, but no matter how he turned it, the pointer didn't listen to the command, and the red end still pointed firmly to the north. Little Einstein was in a hurry and suddenly turned from north to south, thinking, "Is this compass going to follow me all the time?" But when he looked intently, he was surprised: the red end still pointed to the north! "That's strange ..." Einstein muttered at a loss. "Why on earth is this?" He wanted to ask his father, but he had a brainwave and immediately replied, "Yes, there must be something pushing it next to this needle, so it can keep one direction forever." So he studied the compass again and again, trying to find something mysterious around the pointer. But to his great disappointment, he found nothing. The mystery of childhood is deeply engraved in his memory. Perhaps Einstein's in-depth study of electromagnetic fields in the future was inspired by the mysterious little toy compass in his childhood. Einstein's childhood was reserved and he didn't like to talk. Now that he has an interesting companion, the compass, he has been in a daze all day, and his parents think that he is really ill this time. This childhood story about the compass left a deep impression on Einstein, and even after many years, he often recalled it with relish. At school age, compared with children of the same age, little Einstein still looks very slow and slow. In class, his academic performance is very poor. Every time the teacher asks him to recite the text, he can't read a word. The students laughed at him privately and thought he was a "poor underachiever". Einstein began his study career in this way. Although he is stupid, he is kind and pious, and his classmates call him an honest man. At the age of six, Einstein became fascinated with music and began to learn the violin. The beautiful music played by the violin brought him into a wonderful realm, and the music once fascinated him. But when practicing the violin, it is boring to mechanically repeat the bow-pulling fingering. In this way, Einstein's primary school life began in dullness and ended in dullness. At this time, compared with his peers, Einstein was not too long, but a little clumsy. /kloc-at the age of 0/0, Einstein left primary school and became a middle school student. At this time, German militarism was rampant everywhere like a scourge. Schools are no exception. Those teachers crammed Greek and Latin into students' minds like soldiers, and students' duty was to recite, recite and recite all day. Tired of this way of learning, little Einstein intentionally or unintentionally shifted his interest to teaching himself mathematics, which became his greatest hobby in middle school. Einstein's uncle is an engineer and likes math very much. On one occasion, he drew a right triangle on the paper, and wrote that AB2+BC2=AD2. Einstein said mysteriously, "This is the famous Pythagorean theorem, which was proved by people more than 2,000 years ago. Come and have a try. " Einstein, 12 years old, didn't know what geometry was yet, but he was fascinated by this theorem and decided to give it a try. He struggled for several weeks to find a way to prove it, and on the last day of the third week, he proved it. The first time he realized the joy of creation, his creativity sprouted. With the growth of age, Einstein's vision gradually broadened, and the things that interested him became more and more complicated. /kloc-at the age of 0/2, Einstein got a hardcover geometry textbook. He opened the book with excitement, mystery and a trace of fear and awe. From the first page of Euclid's theorem, he became fascinated as he read it. He even read it in one breath and was deeply impressed by the accuracy, clarity and rigor of geometric theorems. For some theorems, he pondered and pondered repeatedly, and sometimes tried to put aside the existing argumentation methods and find another way to prove them again. Einstein was always ecstatic, and he deeply realized the great joy of discovering the truth for the first time. Einstein's curiosity was further developed in his childhood, and his self-confidence was gradually enhanced. Soon, he taught himself advanced mathematics, and the teachers in middle school were no match for him. While his classmates were still trekking in congruent triangles, Einstein Jr. had roamed the world of calculus. Einstein made outstanding achievements in the field of mathematics, but little Einstein was not interested in other subjects and his grades were poor. Many teachers don't like his learning attitude and scold him many times. Once, Einstein's father asked the dean of the school what his son could do in the future. The teacher bluntly said, "It doesn't matter what you do, your son will accomplish nothing." The teacher had a deep prejudice against little Einstein, thinking that he was a rotten piece of wood with no carving value, and ordered him to drop out of school. In this way, Einstein dropped out of school at the age of 15 and didn't even get his diploma. Einstein developed a good habit of reading and thinking from an early age. Once, he was fascinated by the popular science reading "Popular Science Physics Series" and took it with him everywhere. It is this book that not only broke Einstein's superstition of religious authority, but also made him set up his great ambition to explore the mysteries of nature. At the young Einstein's side, he always carries a small notebook to write down the spark of inspiration at any time. At the age of 16, another challenging question occupied his mind: what would happen if some kind of light receiver, such as human eyes or cameras, followed the light and flew at the speed of light? He caught the problem and wrote it down in his notebook. But where to find the right answer? He was confused and set himself a new problem and challenge. It was this difficult problem that made Einstein think day and night, which gave birth to the magical bud of future relativity. Perhaps, this can be regarded as the first brave attack launched by Einstein Jr. on the fortress of science. Little Einstein's brilliant achievements in the future are inseparable from his family. He grew up in a carefree family environment, and his parents were very tolerant of him. The role of parents in his growth path is to protect his temperament and character from adverse factors. When Einstein's "genius" was all thumbs, his mother was very anxious and worried that her children would accomplish nothing in the future, while his father said, "Don't worry, children just can't adapt to the rules of the school and the mechanical teaching in the school. When he grows up and knows everything around him, he can adapt smoothly. " His parents did not regard him as a "mentally retarded child", nor did they punish him for being expelled from school for his poor homework. On the contrary, they gave him a very relaxed environment to help him grow and develop. 1In the autumn of 895, 16-year-old Einstein left his relatives and boarded the train to Zurich alone, starting a new milestone in his life.

Bill Gates Jr.' s "Computer Dream"

Bill Gates (C? ) I have been a "computer geek" since I was a child. He was born on 19551October 28th in Seattle, Washington. He was cheerful and lively when he was a child, and he was an energetic child. Whenever, he swings back and forth in the cradle. When I grow up, I will spend a lot of time riding horses. Later, he brought this swaying habit to adulthood, to Microsoft, and shocked the whole world. Bill Gates loved math and computers in middle school. Paul allen is his best alumnus. They often play three consecutive games of chess on the computer of Hubin Middle School. The computer at that time was a PDP8 minicomputer. Students can play games on some connected terminals through paper tape typewriters, and they can also write some small software, such as seat arrangement. Bill Gates Jr. plays with ease. 1972 One summer, Paul, who is three years older than him, brought a magazine "Electronics", pointing to an article with only a natural paragraph of 10, and told Bill that a newly established company named Intel had introduced a microprocessor chip (XΟ N) called 8008. They quickly got the chip and fiddled with a machine that can analyze the information on the city traffic monitor, so they wanted to set up a company called "Traffic Data Company". 1973, Bill went to Harvard University, and Paul got a job as a programmer in a computer company named Sweet Well in Boston. The two partners often meet to discuss computers. Just as Apple inspired Newton, the personal computer broke into Bill's mind with an external enlightener. This is 1975 magazine "Popular Electronics". The picture of Altair8080 computer on the cover suddenly ignited Bill Gates' computer dream. He and his good friend Paul worked around the clock in the Akon Computer Center of Harvard for eight weeks to make it match the Basic language, which opened up a new road for the pc software industry and laid the foundation for the standardized production of software. Today, Microsoft has become an "empire" in the industry, which has something to do with Bill Gates' childhood "computer dream".

Lu Xun in childhood

When Lu Xun was a child, he often lived with his mother at his grandmother's house in Anqiaotou, Shaoxing, and later at his uncle's house in Huangfuzhuang. Anqiaotou and Huangfuzhuang are both in the water town outside Chang 'an Gate in Shaoxing, and the wide and narrow rivers flow quietly through the village. Lu Xun likes to go to the countryside. He regards it as a free world, a brand-new world. Because here, you can not only avoid reading the profound Four Books and Five Classics, but also live freely with farmers' children, boating, catching fish and shrimps on the cobweb-covered river, enjoying the night view of the water with a little fishing fire, or going to the shore to put geese, herd cattle and pick arhat beans and breathe fresh air ... Whenever there is a social drama in the village, Lu Xun and Mix. Sometimes, he also learns acting and plays imp with the children of farmers. They drew some colorful pictures on their faces, jumped onto the stage with steel forks in their hands and played happily. The countryside was very attractive to Lu Xun as a teenager. In this self

In the new world, Lu Xun not only learned a lot of social knowledge and production knowledge, but also established a deep friendship with the children of peasant families, and gradually understood the industrious and simple character of peasants, and also saw the bloody facts of oppression and class exploitation in the old society. In a fishing song often recited by Lu Xun and farmers' children, there is such a solemn and stirring sentence: "Seven liters a day, eight liters a day, and if you don't fall for two days (you don't go fishing in the river for two days), you are white with hunger; Seven liters a day, eight liters a day, and if you don't fall for two days, you will cry. " These have had a far-reaching impact on the development of Lu Xun's thought, making Lu Xun know that farmers are "oppressed all their lives and suffer a lot, which is different from flowers and birds."

Edison

Edison is a world-famous inventor. He is an American. When I was a child, I only went to school for three months because my family was poor. When he was eleven or twelve, he began to sell newspapers. He loves science and often saves money to buy science books, newspapers and chemicals. The instruments he used in the experiment were bottles and cans picked out of the garbage.

When Edison 12 years old, he sold newspapers on the train. There is a special compartment on the train for passengers to smoke, and the conductor agrees that he will occupy a corner there. He moved chemicals and bottles and cans there. After selling newspapers, he did all kinds of interesting experiments.

Once, a bottle of white phosphorus was knocked down by a sudden vibration while the train was running. Phosphorus burns when it comes into contact with air. Many people came to put out the fire with Edison. The conductor was so angry that he threw all Edison's experiments out and slapped him hard that he was deaf in one ear.

Edison's determination to study science never wavered. He scrimped and saved, and started the chemical experiment again.

On one occasion, sulfuric acid burned his clothes; On another occasion, nitric acid almost blinded his eyes.

Undaunted by the danger, he still stubbornly did the experiment.

It's a little late, but I hope I can help you. O (* _ _ *) o I wish you progress in your studies. )

Edison did many experiments to find a filament with low price and long life. He often works in the laboratory for dozens of hours, so tired that he lies on the experimental platform and sleeps for a while. He made unremitting efforts and finally found a suitable filament and invented the electric light. Later, Edison invented movies and phonographs ... he had 65438+ inventions in his life.

Edison devoted all his life energy to the great cause of benefiting all mankind; I never think too much about clothes.

When he was a poor boy, one day, he met a friend in the street of new york.

"Look at the coat you are wearing. It's broken like this You should buy yourself a new coat! " The friend said.

"Need it to be? Nobody knows me in new york. " Edison answered indifferently.

A few years later, Edison became a great inventor. Once, he met that friend again in the street of new york.

"Ah, Mr. Edison!" The friend exclaimed, "I have to change a new coat this time anyway!" "

"Need it to be? Edison nonchalantly replied, "People here already know me. "

Lincoln

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.
