Three examples of successful people from ancient times to the present who devote themselves to doing one thing.

Successful people from ancient times to the present, such as Mo Bosang, three French writers, showed outstanding intelligence by peeing. One day, Mo Bosang and his uncle went to visit his good friend, the famous writer Flaubert. My uncle wants to recommend Flaubert as Mo Bosang's literary tutor. However, Mo Bosang proudly asked Flaubert what he would do. Flaubert asked Mo Bosang what he would do. Mo Bosang said proudly, "I can do anything as long as you know." Flaubert said unhurriedly, "Well, let's talk about your daily study." Mo Bosang said confidently, "I spend two hours reading and writing in the morning, another two hours playing the piano, one hour learning to repair cars with my neighbors in the afternoon and three hours practicing football. In the evening, I will go to the barbecue shop to learn how to cook roast goose, and on Sunday, I will go to the countryside to grow vegetables. " Later, Mo Bosang proudly asked, "Mr. Flaubert, how is your daily work?" Flaubert said with a smile, "I spend four hours reading and writing every morning, four hours reading and writing in the afternoon and four hours reading and writing in the evening." Mo Bosang asked inexplicably, "Don't you know anything else?" Flaubert didn't answer, but continued to ask, "What are your strengths, such as what are you doing particularly well?" This time, Mo Bosang couldn't answer. So he asked Flaubert, "So, what's your specialty?" Flaubert said, "Writing." The original specialty is to concentrate on one thing. Mo Bosang made up his mind to worship Flaubert as a literary tutor, devoted himself to reading and writing, and finally achieved fruitful results.

Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy hard. Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in Jin Dynasty, practiced calligraphy hard. According to legend, he studied hard in Lanting, Shaoxing for twenty years. Because he often washes the brush and inkstone in the pool, he even dyed the water in the pool black. Once, his son Wang Xianzhi asked him the secret of writing. He pointed to the eighteen water tanks at home and said, "You will know the secret of writing after you finish writing the water in these eighteen water tanks." Wang Xianzhi really finished writing Eighteen Tanks of Water and became a great calligrapher. One of Liang Qichao's reading methods is that reading should be divided into two categories: special reading and exposition. On the one hand, we should develop the habit of reading carefully, on the other hand, we should develop the habit of reading quickly. If you don't know the details, you will get nothing, which is equivalent to reading in vain. If you don't have quick eyes, you won't have enough time to get information. Secondly, some books should be read carefully, such as valuable literary works and useful aphorisms. Third, take reading notes. Because a good memory is not as good as a bad writing. Scholars in ancient China attached great importance to discussing knowledge with their close friends. Tao Yuanming's poem "Migration" contains the words "Appreciate strange writing, dispel doubts and doubts", and Zhang Ji's poem "Sacrifice to Retreat" also talks about the scene when he and Han Yu were together, "Poor things in ancient and modern times, overall consideration". Sun Sheng and Yin Jie in Jin Dynasty once forgot to eat and sleep in order to discuss a problem, so that "there are four people who eat cold and warm". Newton's idea about apples falling to the ground One day, Newton was walking when a ripe apple fell from the tree and hit him right on the head. This very common thing caused Newton to think deeply. He thought: Why do apples have to fall to the ground? Why not fly to the sky and other places? He speculated that there is gravity in the earth's core, and this gravity exists for any substance. Through research, he put forward a formula to calculate the magnitude of gravity and discovered the "law of universal gravitation". When Gou Jian, the King of Yue, wanted to live on his laurels, wuyue and China were feuds. Once the army of Yue was defeated, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, made peace with Wu, and agreed to Wu's harsh demands: the king of Yue went to Wu to serve Wu I, and Gou Jian came to Wu to serve the king of Wu carefully, and was released to China three years later. For this deep hatred of snow, he worked hard, exercised his fighting spirit, slept with firewood, tasted courage before meals and before going to bed, and made a series of plans to save the country. Within ten years, the State of Yue finally became strong and destroyed the State of Wu in one fell swoop.

A drop of water on the stone seems insignificant, but it can work miracles many years later. There are many stalactites in the caves in Guilin, which are as long as stone pillars and very spectacular. They are formed by the accumulation of water dripping from rocks for tens of thousands of years. One night, a walking "blackboard" physicist Ampei was walking in the street. Suddenly, there was a problem in his mind. He went to the "blackboard", took out a chalk head from his pocket and calculated it on it. However, the "blackboard" suddenly moved, and before ampere finished his calculus problem, he unconsciously followed the "blackboard" to calculate it. The "blackboard" walked faster and faster, and Ampere felt that he could not catch up. At this time, he saw people in the street laughing at him. He found that the moving "blackboard" turned out to be the tail of a black carriage. Newton forgot to eat. Newton, a great British physicist, once invited a friend to dinner at home. The food was ready, but before his friend arrived, he went into the laboratory and threw himself into the experiment. When my friend came, I couldn't find Newton. Because he was in a hurry to go to work, he finished his meal alone, put the leftover chicken bones in the box and left. In the evening, Newton finished his experiment and prepared to eat. But when he saw the chicken bones in the box, he showed an epiphany and said with a smile, "I thought I hadn't eaten yet, but I have already eaten." There are many people who are good at revising their own articles. Cao Xueqin wrote "A Dream of Red Mansions" with ten years' review and five additions and deletions. Tolstoy wrote War and Peace, which was revised seven times. Marx would rather burn his manuscript than leave his unprocessed works. Flaubert was a French critical realist writer in the19th century. One day, Mo Bosang went to Flaubert for consultation with a new book. He was puzzled to see that the manuscript on Flaubert's desk had only one line on each page, and the other nine lines were blank. Flaubert smiled and said, "This is my habit. I only wrote one line on ten lines of manuscript paper, and the other nine lines were reserved for revision. " Cheng Xue admired Cheng Yi's knowledge in the Northern Song Dynasty and went to Luoyang to learn from Cheng Yi. When I went to Cheng Yi's home for consultation, Cheng Yi was sitting still and sleeping. Shi Yang is eager to study, but he dare not disturb the teacher, so he stands outside and waits. It snowed heavily and it was freezing. When Cheng Yi woke up, the snow had fallen a foot deep. Later, people used the phrase "Cheng Men Sydney" to mean that students respectfully learn from their teachers. There was a man in the state of Yan, a toddler in Handan. He heard that the posture of Zhao people was very beautiful, so he came to Handan, the capital of Zhao, to learn to walk. As a result, he didn't learn the walking posture of Zhao people, and even forgot the original walking method, so he had to climb back. This story is a metaphor for blind imitation, and as a result, I lost my inherent skills and characteristics.

Kuang Heng, a scholar in the Western Han Dynasty, was born in a poor family, but he was eager to learn. There was no light at night, so he dug a hole in the wall to read by his neighbor's candlelight. Jiang Bi was born in a poor family in Nanqi. She makes shoes during the day and finds time to study at night. When he can't light the lamp, he takes the book to the roof and reads by moonlight. Reciting is an important learning method. China has always had the theory of "a man of insight, a man of insight". Liang Qichao explained the 7000-word "Public Security Policy" to the students, and recited it without reading. In order to recite an article, Mr. Lu Xun not only read aloud, but also copied it by hand to deepen his impression. Life is only three days. When students on the island of Hawaii in the United States attend classes, they always recite a prayer first: a person's life is only three days: yesterday, today and tomorrow. Yesterday has passed and will never come back. I was with you today, but it passed quickly. Tomorrow will come and die. Come on, life is only three days. "Tomorrow Song" and "Today Song" In the Ming Dynasty, Qian Fu wrote a song "Tomorrow Song", which read: Tomorrow will be tomorrow, and there will be several tomorrows! Waiting for tomorrow, everything will be wasted. The world is tired of tomorrow, and tomorrow will be endless. In the morning, the water flows east, and now it grows in the west. What will tomorrow be like in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow. In the Ming Dynasty, Wen Jia wrote another Song of Today, which read: Today is today, and today is so rare! If you don't do it today, when will it happen? Today is a hundred years, and today is not a pity. If we wait until the Ming dynasty, there will be something in the Ming dynasty. Say "Today's Poetry" for you, and try to start today. The achievement is that Sima Qian spent 18 years writing historical records. Zuo Si spent 10 years writing Sandu Fu: Li Shizhen spent 30 years writing Compendium of Materia Medica; Copernicus spent 30 years writing about the motion of celestial bodies. Darwin spent 22 years writing the Origin of Species, Milton spent 265,438+0 years writing Paradise Lost, and the great Marx spent 40 years writing Capital.

An example of great man's concentration Chen Yi ate ink as sauce and dipped it in cake because he was absorbed in reading when he was a child.

From ancient times to the present, examples of saints being out of phase? In the feudal period, for political needs, some characters were packaged to achieve the effect of ignorance.

For example, Liu Bang was born in his mother's belly, which means that Liu Bang is a child of heaven, and of course it is a bit out of tune. This is destiny.

Guan Yu is the same. In order to publicize his loyalty, feudal rulers of past dynasties packaged him as a warrior of different phases. The loyalty of ordinary people is useless, and Wu Sheng's loyalty has propaganda function.

As for Xiang Yu, it is not surprising to package him. How can he overthrow the rule of the Qin Dynasty?

Liu Bang: In order to be beautiful for a long time, beauty must have a beard with 72 spots on the left thigh.

Confucius said, "Zheng Ren or Zi Gong said,' There are people at the east gate, such as Yao, neck, shoulders like children, and less than three inches below, like lost dogs.' "

Gou Jian, King of Yue: Fan Li described him like this: "The King of Yue was pecked by a long-necked bird, but he was able to share weal and woe with * * *, but he could not share joys and sorrows with him."

Liu Bei: You can take good care of your ears by hanging your ears on your shoulders and putting your hands on your knees.

Guan Yu: Danfeng's eyes and face are as heavy as dates. If you put fat on your lips, it will be covered by your stomach.

Zhang Fei: A leopard has eyes on its head, and a swallow has a beard on its jaw, just like running a horse.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Lu Bu, who always kept his word and had a very high reputation. Many people have established a strong friendship with him. At that time, there was even a proverb: "It is better to get a hundred pounds of gold than to keep a promise." (This is the origin of the idiom "A promise is as good as a gold") Later, he offended Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu, and was offered a reward for his capture. As a result, his old friends not only were not confused by the heavy money, but also risked the extinction of Jiuzu to protect him from disaster. A person who is honest and trustworthy will naturally get a lot of help and gain everyone's respect and friendship. On the other hand, if you covet temporary comfort or petty advantages and lose trust in your friends, you will get "benefits" on the surface. But for this benefit, he ruined his reputation, which is much more important than material things. Therefore, breaking a promise to a friend is tantamount to losing a watermelon and picking up sesame seeds, which is not worth the loss.

There have been examples of humility since ancient times. It is best not to get divorced. If divorced, it is difficult to find a good one. Let's just live like this. Hang on.

I am your ally, but you must support me.

1, Che Yin, a native of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was studious and diligent when he was young. He helps adults during the day and studies hard at night. But because the family is poor, they often have no money to buy oil lamps or read books. He was very upset about it.

One summer night, Che Yin sat in the yard silently recalling the contents of the book he had read, and suddenly found many fireflies flying in the air in the yard. He suddenly felt that if these fireflies were gathered together, wouldn't they be able to read by their light? So he began to catch fireflies, caught more than a dozen, put them in white gauze sewing pockets and hung them on the desk. From then on, he studied hard by fluorescence every day.

Where there is a will, there is a way. A few years later, Che Yin read a lot of books and finally became a very learned man.

Li Mi hangs the book in the corner. Shi Mi of Sui Dynasty was sent to the court of Yang Di as a bodyguard when she was a teenager. He is naturally flexible. When he was on duty, he looked around and was discovered by Emperor Yang Di. He thought the boy was dishonest, so he was excused from his job. Shi Biao is not depressed. After returning home, he studied hard and determined to be a learned man. Once, Shimi rode an ox to meet his friends. On the way, he hung Hanshu on the loudspeaker and took the time to study. This incident was passed down as a much-told story.

Dong Zhongshu didn't peek into the garden for three years. Dong Zhongshu devoted himself to research and worked tirelessly. Although there is a garden behind the study, he concentrated on reading and studying, and did not go into the garden to enjoy it for three years. Dong Zhongshu devoted himself to research and became a famous thinker in the Western Han Dynasty.

4. Kuang Heng stole the light. In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a particularly learned man named Kuang Heng. When Kuang Heng was a child, his family was poor. In order to study, he chiseled through the wall of his neighbor's illiterate home, studied by stealing some candle light, and finally touched his neighbor's illiteracy. With everyone's help, Kuang Heng Jr. learned something. During the Han and Yuan Dynasties, he served as a doctor, and was recommended by Shi Gao, a general of Fu and Che Qi, and moved to be a doctor.

5. Lu Yu abandoned Buddhism and followed the literature. Lu Yu, a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty, was an orphan since he was a child and was raised by a Zen master. Although Lu Yu is in a temple, he doesn't want to read Buddhist scriptures all day, but he likes reading poetry books. Lu Yu insisted on going down the mountain to study, which was opposed by the Zen master. In order to give Lu Yu a difficult problem, the Zen master better educated him and made him learn to make tea. In the process of learning tea art, Lu Yu met a kind old woman. She not only learned complicated tea-making skills, but also learned a lot about reading and being a man. When Lu Yu finally brought the Zen master a steaming cup of Kuding tea, the Zen master finally agreed to his request and went down the mountain to study. Later, Lu Yu wrote the widely circulated Tea Classic, which promoted the tea culture of the motherland!

6. Fan Zhongyan broke the porridge. Fan Zhongyan grew up in a poor family. In order to study, he scrimped and saved. Finally, his thirst for knowledge moved the temple elders, who sent him to Du Nan College to study. Fan Zhongyan still insists on simple living habits and does not accept gifts from rich children to sharpen his will. After studying hard, he finally became a great writer.

7. Xuanzang studied Buddhism hard. Xuanzang was a monk in the Tang Dynasty. In order to obtain the original Buddhist scriptures, Xuanzang left Chang 'an in August of the third year of Zhenguan, trudged to Wan Li and finally arrived in India. It lasted 17 years, and he wrote The Tale of the Western Regions of Datang, which made great contributions to Buddhism, human progress and world civilization.

8. Ouyang Xiu borrowed scriptures. Ouyang Xiu, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, was gifted since childhood. But because the family is poor, there is no money to buy paper and pens at home. In order to let her son learn to write and practice calligraphy, Zheng, Ouyang Xiu's mother, came up with a clever way to teach Xiao Ouyang Xiu to write with a brush instead of a brush. Ouyang Xiu worked hard, learned a good hand and became a well-known child prodigy. This kind of hard work also influenced his little friend Li, and he took Li on the road to study.

9. Song Lian braved the heavy snow to visit the teacher. Song Lian, a famous essayist and scholar in Ming Dynasty, was fond of learning since childhood. He was not only knowledgeable, but also wrote excellent articles, and was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, as the "head of the founding civil servants". Song Lian loves reading very much, and those who don't understand always get to the bottom of it. This time, in order to find out a problem, Song Lian walked dozens of miles in the snow to consult Ji Meng, a teacher who had stopped accepting students, but the teacher was not at home. Undaunted, Song Lian visited the teacher again a few days later, but the teacher didn't see him. Because of the cold weather, Song Lian and her companions were freezing, and Song Lian's toes were frostbitten. Song Lian was rescued when he fell into a snow pit during his third solo visit. When Song Lian almost fainted in front of the teacher's house, the teacher was moved by his sincerity and patiently answered Song Lian's questions. Later, in order to gain more knowledge, Song Lian visited many teachers and became a famous essayist.

10, studying in Tao Hongjing vegetable garden. In ancient times, people had many misunderstandings about nature. People believe that the snail's victory is an absurd legend. It turns the moth into their own son, and they also call their son "the moth". Tao Hongjing expressed doubts about this. He found a nest of grubs in the vegetable field near the village, and squatted in the vegetable field and observed it with rapt attention all day. Tao Hongjing found that they had a man and a woman. After many days of careful observation, Tao Hongjing finally exposed the secret of grubs: grubs have their own offspring, and grubs are taken to the nest to feed their larvae. There is no such thing as a grub seme! From then on, Tao Hongjing felt that it was best to observe everything in person and never listen to other people's opinions.

Limited to space, I won't write much. You must take my advice.

Examples of etiquette among friends (from ancient times to the present) Almost everyone in society knows the importance of friends and cherishes the feelings between friends. But what people cherish must be scarce, so people have lamented since ancient times that "it is enough to have a bosom friend in life." In fact, we are at one level, and every friend of yours is not allowed to yield in society.

Friends can be divided into different levels, some are good for career, some are good for life, some are good for feelings, and some are good for entertainment. All my friends, what is beneficial to life is only the degree of submission, which no ruler can get.

Everyone knows the benefits of friends, whether they are close friends or shallow friends. However, "in a convenient place, it has this advantage". What matters is the method, how to make friends and how to get the benefits of friends.

When we say that good friends pay attention to etiquette, we don't mean that we should stick to unnecessary cumbersome manners and enthusiasm under any circumstances, but we should pay attention to mutual respect between friends and don't cross each other's forbidden zones.

Many young people often fall into the misunderstanding that there is no need to pay attention to etiquette between good friends. They think that knowing and understanding each other, being good friends, being close to trust, being close as brothers, regardless of property, are blessed * * *, and paying attention to etiquette is too restrained and heretical.

In fact, they don't realize that the existence of friendship is based on mutual respect, and they still control it, which is intolerable interference. Between each other, like-minded, similar temper and taste, then pay; On the other hand, if you leave, you will definitely. No matter how familiar and intimate a friend is, don't overdo it casually and don't pay attention to etiquette. Such an understanding may upset the balance if friendly relations cease to exist.

Harmonious and in-depth communication needs rich feelings as a link, which is not artificial, but sincere and natural. China is known as the country of etiquette, in order to maintain the agreement and express human feelings. Of course, when we say that good friends should pay attention to etiquette, we don't mean that we should stick to unnecessary cumbersome etiquette and enthusiasm under any circumstances, but emphasize mutual respect between good friends, and there are no other restrictions on everyone in this respect.

Everyone wants to have their own little world. If friends are too casual, it is easy to invade this restricted area, resulting in estrangement and conflict.

Examples of daughters being superior to mothers from ancient times to the present include Madame Curie, Mulan, Wu Zetian and Margaret Thatcher.
