A man who was stupid when he was young but became a very smart and accomplished person when he grew up and summarize his story

Einstein

Albert Einstein was the greatest physicist of the 20th century.

He has made contributions to many fields of physics, such as studying capillary phenomena, elucidating Brownian motion, establishing the special theory of relativity and extending it to general relativity, proposing the quantum concept of light, and completely explaining the photoelectric effect with quantum theory. , radiation processes, specific heat of solids, and developed quantum statistics.

And won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921.

When Albert Einstein was born, his head was extremely large and out of proportion to his body; especially the back of his head was not only large, but also angular.

Ordinary parents would definitely worry about whether their children were deformed. However, Albert’s father Hermann Einstein said: “That may be because of his abnormality. There is too much wisdom in your head!" This sentence expresses his expectations for his children.

In the blink of an eye, Einstein was 2 years old, but he could not start babbling like most children, and he was so withdrawn and silent that it was suspicious. People think of that abnormal head shape again. They simply didn't dare to think about it anymore: "Will this child be mute or have dementia?"

When little Einstein was almost 3 years old, he still couldn't speak.

His mother Pauline said to her husband: "Dear, didn't you say that our son's big head is full of wisdom? But he is so old and can't speak, so what exactly is in his head? What are you pretending to be!"

However, the father still had confidence in his big-brained son. He said: "Don't think it's too late for him to talk. When he can talk, he will definitely talk about it. It’s never over!”

At this time, although Einstein could not speak, his ears were extremely sensitive to music.

Once, my mother was playing the piano in her garden. When she was playing vigorously, she suddenly noticed a noise behind her. She turned around and found little Einstein tilting his big head. He listened to her playing attentively, and from the looks of it, he was clearly entranced.

She smiled and patted Einstein on the head: "My lovely baby, look at you in trance, do you understand?"

Next, every time When his mother sat in front of the piano and played works by some famous composers such as Beethoven, he would quietly sit next to her and listen quietly.

At a young age, he understood that music can not only express inner emotions, but also be like a paintbrush, painting the blue sea and soft moonlight, which is really wonderful.

Through repeated observations, the mother believed that the "big-headed son" must have musical talent, so she invited one of the best violinists in the city, *** Einstein's family music teacher, who specialized in teaching He plays the violin.

Although Einstein did not make rapid progress, he worked very hard.

Gradually, he was able to play some fragments of Mozart's works intermittently.

Little Einstein entered the world of music without being able to speak. No one knows what he saw in this world, but one thing is for sure, that is, he found himself something hoped for.

However, things did not develop as my father hoped.

Little Einstein did not speak until he was almost 4 years old, and he did not "talk endlessly" as his father expected.

On the contrary, stay silent all day long.

Little Einstein finally spoke, which gradually relieved Mrs. Pauline's hanging heart.

However, this silent and quiet child still consciously avoids friends of similar age to him, never plays with other children, and often hides alone in a quiet place to meditate.

Mother took as much time as possible to communicate with little Einstein.

The purpose of this is to pull him out of the closed world and promote his language development.

As long as her son can tell what he is thinking, then she can help him.

However, when little Einstein grew up, his personality became very strange. He never played with children of the same age.

When Einstein was 5 years old, his parents hired a governess for him.

During the first class, Einstein probably realized that he would lose his free personal world. He lost his temper again and threw a chair at the teacher as a sign of ***.

For this reason, Einstein's parents had to immediately end this first education that had not yet begun.

One day, Einstein and his wife returned from an outing. When they opened the courtyard door, they were surprised: there was a model of a building in the courtyard! The model was almost indistinguishable from the real building. It is the epitome of a real building!

When I took a closer look, it turned out that this miniature building was made entirely of small scrap wood blocks.

Moreover, those small wooden blocks snap together with even force, as if they were built by a middle school student who understands geometry and mechanics.

They didn’t believe it was the work of little Einstein.

The father asked little Einstein: "Son, who came just now?" ．

Little Einstein said: "No one is coming.

I don't want anyone to disturb me!"

The mother pointed to the building model and asked: " So who built this small building?"

Little Einstein said without raising his head: "Of course I built it!"

Mother picked up little Ai. Einstein just kept kissing her.

This incident made her even more convinced that little Einstein was not as stupid as he appeared, but an extremely smart child.

Fortunately, Einstein's "uniqueness" was not discriminated against by his parents as a heresy, so Einstein was able to grow into a great physicist. become possible.

This is something that many Chinese parents can learn from.

In Einstein’s childhood, there was another incident worth mentioning.

One evening, as soon as Mr. Hermann stepped into the door after returning from get off work, he shouted to Einstein's room: "Albert, come and see what gift Dad has bought you!" "

As soon as Einstein, who was concentrating on practicing the piano, heard the word "gift", he immediately ran out of the room happily.

I saw my father taking out a cardboard box from his bag and opening it slowly and carefully.

Einstein took it curiously and took a look. It contained a round thing that looked like a big pocket watch.

It’s just that in addition to the even scales around this “big pocket watch”, there are also four letters written opposite each other: N, S, E, W.

The biggest difference between it and a pocket watch is that it only has one pointer, which is constantly swinging left and right.

"What is this? Is it a watch? But there seems to be something extra on it." Einstein asked his father in surprise.

"Listen to me, it is not a watch. The watch is used to keep time. With this thing, you can know the position. It is used to determine the direction." Father patiently He became a commentator.

When Einstein discovered how magical this compass was, his eyes began to light up.

Now, the wonderful function of this compass has made Einstein unable to put it down.

He held the compass and kept shaking it. No matter how he shook it, the magnetic needle always pointed in one direction - north.

"Why does the magnetic needle always point to the north?" Einstein looked at the magical compass and said to himself.

"This is because the earth we live on has a magnetic force that leads the magnetic needle to the north." Dad explained patiently after listening to Einstein's words.

"Where is this kind of magnetism on the earth?"

"It can be said that it is everywhere on the entire earth."

After that, several times in a row God, Einstein often held that little compass in both hands in a daze.

He kept trying to turn it over, or slowly turn it, but no matter what he did, the little pointer always pointed north.

He knew that this was the invisible and intangible earth's magnetic field at work.

He wanted to feel the earth's magnetic field with the little pointer. The pointer still pointed to the north, but he himself felt nothing.

One day, Einstein finally couldn't help but ask Uncle Jacobs, because Uncle Jacobs not only went to college, but was also an engineer.

"Uncle Jacob, can you tell me more about the magnetic field?" He raised his little face, his eyes full of desire for knowledge.

"Albert, you are so young, why do you ask this question." Uncle Jacob felt a little strange.

Einstein carefully took out the compass from his arms and asked: "I can't see the magnetic field and I can't touch it.

So how does it make the compass pointer move? Where's the one pointing to the north?"

Uncle Jacob was also a little embarrassed by Einstein's question, because he didn't have a thorough understanding of the earth's magnetic field, so he had to say: "I don't understand this question for a while. I don’t know how to answer you, or how to say it so that you can understand.

You are still young. You will understand when you go to middle school or college.

To be honest, adults are also studying many problems."

"Then - the magnetic field cannot be seen or touched, how can we humans know and confirm its existence?" Einstein had no choice but to retreat. Ask in one step.

"It exists.

Isn't the pointer in the compass a good proof? In fact, there are many things in the world that we cannot see or touch with our eyes. But they do exist.

Like the gravitational field, we call it the gravitational field on the earth. It also exists like the magnetic field.

We throw something into the air. It fell back to the ground again, because of the effect of the gravity field."

Einstein still didn't quite understand, but subconsciously he felt that his uncle was right, so he nodded seriously.

Uncle Jacob said to Einstein: "All natural phenomena in the world follow certain laws.

The world is made up of these invisible but must exist Laws govern.

Although we cannot see them, we can discover them and recognize them."

"They are like God, right?"

Uncle Jacob smiled and said: "It's a bit similar.

But they are two different things."

Einstein hoped that he would grow up soon, so that he could I figured out the reasons behind some things.

Einstein often fell into deep meditation.

Uncle Jacob was very happy. He believed that this ordinary and sacred curiosity was the driving force necessary for Einstein's growth!

When Einstein was in school I am always absent-minded, always hoping that get out of class will be over quickly so that I can quickly return to my own vast world.

Of course, Einstein’s behavior would not be liked by his teachers, so in the eyes of most teachers, Einstein was not a good student because he was neither disciplined nor neat. Tian seemed very worried, and no one could figure out what he was thinking.

Mr. Herman went to the school for matters related to his son's schooling. The person responsible for receiving Herman was the director of the school's discipline department.

Looking at the director's frosty face, Herman asked cautiously: "Based on his personality, what kind of career should my son pursue in the future?"

Unexpectedly, teaching Director Jing said unceremoniously: "No need to ask, no matter what your son does, he will accomplish nothing." After saying that, he looked at Einstein's father contemptuously, then lowered his head and started busy with his own business.

My father stood there helplessly, feeling very uncomfortable. He didn't know what to say or what to do.

After a while, the director raised his head again and introduced all the "bad" performances of Einstein in the school to Herman one by one, saying that all the teachers disliked Einstein. He has a withdrawn personality and a slow brain, and accuses him of being "undisciplined, absent-minded, and fanciful" and so on.

"Prejudice, all this is caused by prejudice.

My son, Albert Einstein is a good boy!" Hermann said bitterly in his heart. explain.

Later, Einstein was ordered to drop out of school because he was addicted to self-study.

The father still insisted: "My son, Albert Einstein is a good boy!"

Think about it, Einstein didn't speak until he was 4 years old. He had an eccentric personality since childhood, even a bit dull. He had poor grades in elementary school and was ordered to drop out of middle school. In the eyes of ordinary people, was he a stupid child? However, Einstein's parents discovered his superhuman music with appreciation. Talent, discovered his valuable spirit of exploration, and opened the door to a broad life for him.

Einstein succeeded, but everything first depends on the success of his parents' education

Newton, the great British physicist.

In 1661, he studied at Trinity College of Cambridge University.

In 1669, at the age of 27, he became a professor of mathematics at Cambridge.

In 1672, he was elected as a member of the Royal Society.

From 1685 to 1687, with the encouragement and sponsorship of astronomer Halley, Newton published the famous "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" and completed historic discoveries-the laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation. He made significant contributions to the development of modern natural sciences.

In 1703, he was elected president of the Royal Society.

Newton not only made great contributions to mechanics but also to other aspects.

In mathematics, he discovered the binomial theorem and founded calculus; in optics, he conducted experiments on the dispersion of sunlight, proving that white light is composed of monochromatic light. He studied the theory of color and invented the reflecting telescope.

But for such a great Newton, he was called "idiot" when he was a child.

If it weren’t for the appreciation of his grandmother, mother, and uncle, he might always have been a stupid kid.

Newton went to primary school at the age of 5. At that time, primary school was privately run, with the nature of a private school, and it was a kind of pointer education.

The school hired two teachers, one male and one female, to teach the children grammar and arithmetic respectively.

Children will be beaten if they are slightly disobedient or cannot answer questions.

Especially the male teacher in a black robe, who looked like a priest and had a serious face. He showed no expression at all when he spoke. He got angry at every turn and the pointer made a crackling sound when he hit the podium.

The children were all scared and became nervous as soon as they attended his class.

Newton was most afraid of attending his class. He was afraid of hearing his loud roar and the sound of his pointer slapping the podium, so he always lowered his head and dared not look at him.

The more this happened, the more I was called up to answer questions.

That day was the first arithmetic class for freshmen. The teacher took a thick pointer and kept tapping the table to calm these new students.

"Issac Newton, stand up and answer, what is one plus two?"

In normal times, my grandmother taught Newton basic arithmetic and was making small boxes and tables. I also encountered simple addition, addition, subtraction, and subtraction. Newton felt that such problems were too simple.

But his personality is too introverted. He seldom interacts with others and talks even less. He has never stood up and spoken in front of so many people, so he can't help but become nervous.

I was so anxious that I forgot how to answer. I was speechless for a while, and finally managed to say "two". I heard a roar of laughter immediately, followed by "crack-pap-pap-pap-pap" of the pointer slapping the table. sound.

Newton replied tremblingly: "Yes... it's three."

"Is it two or three?"

"Such a simple question. If you can't answer, why are you here?

Come here and stand facing that way." The teacher walked over while waving the pointer, pulled Newton up, and asked him to stand beside the podium. .

Suddenly, Newton felt his blood rushing upwards like fire, and his face turned red instantly.

The humiliation and inferiority complex pierced Newton's young heart like sharp thorns.

Newton's lips trembled, but he couldn't say a word.

The tears in Newton's eyes couldn't stop falling. He felt very aggrieved, but he heard the teacher's sarcastic words: "Oh, why are you so cowardly and shed tears so easily? It's really useless. ." Then many male students echoed.

After this incident, Newton was very nervous every time he went to class. He didn’t hear a word of what the teacher said clearly, and he couldn’t understand it, so he stuttered every time he answered the question, without a preface. Even the teacher couldn't understand the idiom.

Questions asked of Newton almost always ended with Newton being scolded loudly or slapped on the palm of his hand.

This kind of environment in school made him hate going to school more and more. The less he wanted to go to school, the worse his grades became. The worse his grades, the more he was scolded by the teacher and ridiculed by his classmates.

Newton is often included in the ranks of poor students.

Although people care and sympathize with this poor child very much, his classmates often discriminate against him, and some even bully him.

I don’t know how many sarcastic words Newton heard in school, and he didn’t know how many times he was punched by his classmates.

The classmates also gave Newton a nickname: Idiot! Some naughty children often made fun of him and played pranks on him.

Newton's lonely and introverted character was originally a shortcoming, but when combined with his infinite love for nature, the shortcoming became an advantage - he always had a desire to explore the mysteries of nature.

Newton was happiest when he was after school.

At this time, he can do whatever he wants without having to follow other people's rules.

Only at this time, he is free and at ease.

Sometimes he would go straight to the trees by the river without putting away his schoolbag, to enjoy nature and daydream.

Sometimes as soon as he enters the house, he throws down his schoolbag and starts doing his beloved carpentry work.

As he grew older, the things he did began to become more complicated.

Starting from making small tables, stools, boxes and other imitative things, I gradually made some design things.

Although Newton did not study hard at school, little Newton was very good at observation and design.

As a result, his home, especially his small room, was filled with all kinds of little things that he had poured his efforts and wisdom into.

Perhaps due to his frequent observation of natural phenomena and his love for contemplation, his little head is filled with all kinds of fantasies and novelties.

So, as soon as he had a new idea, he started to turn his idea into reality.

He didn’t know where he got some tools: a small saw, a small hammer, a small screwdriver, a small plane... and he also made a small tool box.

Whenever he had a sudden idea, he would move these things out, as well as a lot of boards, battens, nails, wires, etc., making things scattered all over the floor, which sometimes disturbed his grandmother. There was no place to put his feet while walking, but little Newton was lying on the ground, silent, working hard, and was very devoted.

In this way, after entering school, Newton could not learn anything in school, but he discovered a lot of knowledge that could not be learned in textbooks through his own hands-on production.

In the eyes of teachers and classmates, Newton was "stupid", but in the heart of grandma, he was an extremely smart child.

When he was 14 years old, his mother planned for Newton to drop out of school and help make ends meet at home.

However, Newton, who loved studying, did not focus on farming. He was thinking about his own problems all the time.

He worked absentmindedly every day, causing many jokes.

Once, he led a horse walking on the road. As he walked, the horse took off its reins and ran back to the stable, but Newton had no idea about it and was still concentrating on his own thoughts. Question, keep holding the empty rope in your hand and keep walking forward.

Another time, Newton rode his horse to a particularly steep hillside. He had to jump off the horse and lead the horse up the hill.

When he and the horse walked over the top of the slope, Newton forgot to get on the horse again and kept walking to lead the horse home.

Whenever he had time, Newton would hold a book and read in the fields, under trees, and on the grass. As soon as Newton read a book, he would forget everything and had no idea that there was anything else to do. Sometimes the chicken The sheep ran into the fields and ate the crops without him noticing.

Sometimes, his mother asked him to go to the market with the servant so that he could become familiar with the market conditions and the art of bargaining. However, every time he approached the town, Newton begged the servant to go to the town alone. While doing business, he would hide behind a bush and read a book, and call the servant when he came around.

Sometimes, after the servant finished the transaction, he could not find anyone else anywhere and hid somewhere, so he had to go home alone.

Newton was reading without enthusiasm, and he didn't remember to go home until he was hungry or it was dark and couldn't see.

One day, Newton's uncle became suspicious and followed Newton to the town to see what he was doing.

He found that his nephew was lying on the grass with his legs stretched out, still studying a mathematical problem attentively, just like a knowledgeable scholar studying his own problem-indeed, compared to children of the same age, , Newton can be called a scholar.

Once when Newton was grazing, he drove the sheep to a grassland outside the village and let them eat green grass, while he lay on the grass and concentrated on his work with a thick mathematics book in his arms. Read it.

Newton was completely immersed in the kingdom of mathematics, and it was almost noon before he knew it.

At this time, Newton's uncle, William Aisku, who was a pastor, happened to pass by his house.

Aisku came over angrily when he saw the sheep running around and Newton lying on the grass without even caring about them.

While shouting Newton's name, he clenched his fists and wanted to teach Newton a lesson for his sister.

But Newton seemed to have nothing happened and just immersed himself in reading.

Even though his uncle had walked beside him, he didn't notice it.

My uncle said angrily: "Newton! You are still sleeping in, and all the sheep have escaped." Hearing his uncle's shout, Newton hurriedly turned around, put down the book in his hand, and crawled He got up, patted his head and went to chase the scattered sheep... Only then did Escu find the thick math book on the grass.

The uncle suddenly realized: It turned out that Newton was studying a mathematics book! He looked up at Newton's retreating back, and thought of what his sister had said about Newton in the letter. At this time, not only did his anger disappear, , and was also moved by Newton's spirit of hard study.

Instead of blaming Newton, he ran to help Newton gather the scattered sheep together, and then returned home with him.

In September 1658, a few days before the death of the British protector Cromwell, a rare storm hit the British Isles. The rivers overflowed and the trees struggled desperately in the violent storm. The branches swayed in the wind like messed up hair.

No trees can stand, let alone people.

The doors and windows trembled and creaked in the strong wind.

When the strong wind first rose, Hannah was afraid that the latch of the warehouse door was not fastened tightly and would be blown open by the strong wind, so she asked Newton to close the door.

However, after being out for a while, why hasn’t he come back yet? What did he do? Hannah waited in fear for his return.

The wind was blowing hard, and the rain was pouring down with the force of the wind.

Hannah was really worried, so she put on her raincoat, wrapped her shoulders, and rushed to the warehouse.

She was shocked when she saw Newton: he was soaked in the rain and jumped around in the storm, marking the place where he landed every time he jumped.

"Issac, Isaac, what are you doing?" Hannah called eagerly, rushed forward, took her son's hand and ran to the warehouse.

She was afraid that her son would go crazy.

After Newton followed his mother into the house, he wiped the water dripping from his hair and face with both hands, and said with a smile: "Mom, I am doing an experiment!"

Hannah looked at her son distressedly and asked puzzledly: "What experiment are you doing?"

"I'm measuring the wind force.

I see jumping with the wind and counterattack How big the difference is when jumping into the wind, and then you can calculate how strong the wind is." Newton said.

Although Hannah did not understand how to calculate the size of the wind using this method, she understood that this was another problem that her son was obsessed with.

Through Newton's "experiment in the storm", Hannah realized more clearly that it was a wrong plan to let Newton go home to help her with farm work and become an excellent farmer in the future.

Because Newton was completely fascinated by learning and research, he had no interest in farm work.

Although he does not refuse housework and farm work, the conflict between his spiritual interests and farm work has become increasingly fierce.

Indeed, if you continue to force a child who is eager to study and research to do farm work, then maybe he will actually become a madman!

It can be seen from these examples that Newton had the spirit of determination and creativity as a boy, as well as the quality of conceiving ideas and hands-on experiments and operations, which later contributed to his emphasis on experiments and his contempt for unfounded assumptions. and laid the foundation for a utopian style.

Newton's mother gradually realized that her son was not a farmer.

As a result, my mother and uncle had to reconsider Newton's future.

Newton's uncle saw things more clearly. He advised his sister to send Newton to school. Newton was probably not a vulgar country boy. His behavior was different and he might become a special person. character, don’t delay your child’s future here.

Newton went to school again.

If Newton’s mother and uncle hadn’t had a second thought, and if they hadn’t valued Newton’s research spirit, perhaps there would never have been a great scientific Newton in the world, but only a failed farmer Newton! It can be seen that genius comes from appreciation. Without appreciation, how can there be genius?

There are many, many examples like this...
