About famous examples of humility making people progress and pride making people fall behind! !

Humility makes people progress: Madame Curie was a true scientist. All honors, money, and disasters disappeared under the light of her science. Eve Curie said of her mother: "She rejected wealth all her life and was indifferent to honor. She was strict by nature and did not show her edge. Therefore, she could never adopt any kind of attitude to gain fame. She doesn't show intimacy, doesn't pretend to be kind, doesn't show dignity, and doesn't show humility. She doesn't know how to be famous at all. Marie Curie's innate qualities are: unswerving character and intelligence. Her perseverance in hard work; her self-sacrifice spirit that only knows how to contribute everything but not accept any benefits; especially her very pure soul who is not proud of success and unyielding in disaster. All of her qualities are more valuable than her work or colorful life. . "

On the day of Adolf Beyeer's 10th birthday. He originally thought that his parents would give him a lively celebration like the parents of other children. But this day: his mother took him to his grandmother's house early in the morning and spent the whole day there without mentioning his birthday at all. Bayer was very unhappy. On the way home, he kept pouting and said nothing. When his mother saw her, she said earnestly: "When I gave birth to you, your father was 41 years old and was still a rough man. Now he is 51 years old. But just like you, he is studying hard and has to take the exam tomorrow. I don't want to delay his study because of your birthday. Time is too precious for him. You are still young, so you must learn to cherish time. "My mother's words were like rain and dew, nourishing Beyer's young heart bit by bit. He later recalled: "This was the most generous gift my mother gave me on my 10th birthday." When Beyer was studying at university, the name of organic chemist Professor Jaraku spread throughout Germany. However, the professor was still very young at that time. Some elders in the scientific community always raised questions of one kind or another to find fault with him. One day, Beyer and his father were chatting together and mentioned Professor Jaraku. Bayer said: "Jiaragu is only 6 years older than me..." The implication is that this person is nothing special. My father was very dissatisfied after hearing this. He said to Beyer: "How about being six years older? Isn't it worth learning from? When I was studying geology, there were teachers who were 30 years younger than me. I was still respectful. Call them teachers respectfully and listen to their lectures attentively. You have to remember that no matter who you are, you should learn from them with humility as long as you have knowledge. >The famous British scientist Joule loved physics since he was a child. He often did some experiments on electricity and heat by himself.

One year during the holidays, Joule and his brother traveled to the countryside together. The smart and studious Joule did not forget to do his physics experiments even when he was playing.

He found a lame horse, held by his brother, and quietly hid behind it. He used a Voda battery to pass current to the horse, hoping to test the animal's reaction after being stimulated by the current. reaction. As a result, the reaction he wanted to see appeared. After receiving the electric shock, the horse jumped wildly and almost kicked his brother.

Although danger has emerged, this has not affected the mood of Xiao Joule, who loves to experiment, at all. He and Giulia rowed a boat to a lake surrounded by mountains, where Joule wanted to test how big the echo was. They filled their muskets with gunpowder and pulled the triggers. Unexpectedly, with a "bang", a long flame spurted out from the muzzle of the gun, burning Joule's eyebrows, and almost scared his brother into falling into the lake.

At this time, the sky was covered with thick clouds and there was lightning and thunder. Joule, who was just about to go ashore to hide from the rain, found that it took a long time after each lightning to hear the rumble of thunder. What was going on?

Joule didn’t care about hiding from the rain, so he dragged his brother up a hill and carefully recorded the time between lightning and thunder with his pocket watch.

After school started, Joule couldn’t wait to tell the teacher all the experiments he had done and asked the teacher for advice.

The teacher looked at the studious and inquisitive Joule and smiled, and patiently explained to him: "The propagation speeds of light and sound are different. The speed of light is fast and the speed of sound is slow, so people always want to see lightning before hearing it. The thunder and lightning actually happened at the same time."

Joule suddenly understood. From then on, he became more obsessed with learning scientific knowledge. Through continuous learning and careful observation and calculation, he finally discovered the thermal work equivalent and the law of conservation of energy, and became an outstanding scientist.

1 During the Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Chuzhuang "aspired to be crowned king".

One night, he and his wife held a candlelight party and feasted all the ministers. Halfway through the wine, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew out the candle. A military general wanted to take advantage of the situation to tease his concubine, but the concubine ripped off the red tassel on his helmet. The concubine suggested that the King of Chu light a lamp immediately to see which guy had lost the red tassel on his helmet, and punish him severely. Don’t bully your friend’s wife, let alone the leader’s wife? Unexpectedly, King Zhuang was tolerant and ordered all the generals to take off the red tassels on their helmets before lighting the lamps.

Soon, the King of Chu personally went to war with the enemy. He was trapped in a tight siege. His soldiers fled in all directions. The King of Chu's life was hanging by a thread. Suddenly, a general jumped out and fought desperately to protect the King of Chu from the siege. A life. The King of Chu said excitedly: "Everyone else was fleeing for their lives, but Aiqing was the only one who was willing to risk his life to save me. What is your name? Which unit are you from?" The general replied: "I was the one who molested your wife at the candlelight party that day. Ah! ”

2 (Legendary, because I can’t tell the source!) Edison made the first light bulb. He asked one of his disciples to test it, but he broke it! The disciple was ashamed. However, when Edison created the second light bulb, he still let his disciple test it despite the objections of others. Edison said, "The greatest forgiveness is to give him another chance!"

On the day of reporting, Lincoln came to the reporting office to take an exam. When he came to the reporting office, he found that the person in the prison was someone he had offended. For those who have passed, he finished the exam with a heavy heart. When he asked about the incident that offended him, the man said: "Is there any? I don't remember."

4 Joule seeks knowledge

6 Honesty is more valuable than a thousand cherry trees - Honesty

George Washington has admired heroes since he was sensible. When he saw his brother wearing military uniform and fighting on the front line, he was extremely envious. One day after dinner, he suddenly thought of a question and hurriedly ran to ask his father: "Dad, when I grow up, I want to be a brave soldier like my brother, okay?" "Excellent, my dear child. !” the father replied happily, “but do you know what kind of child can become a brave soldier?” the father asked. "Well -" Washington thought for a while and replied: "Only an honest child can become a brave soldier, is that true?" "Yes.
