Horizontally, it is a peak on the side of the ridge, and the height of the distance is different. I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but I am only in this mountain.
This poem is Su Shi's evaluation of the beauty of Lushan Mountain, but it is also suitable for evaluating a person.
When you know that Einstein refused to raise an illegitimate daughter and that Edison named someone else's invention, did it feel incredible?
In fact, like Lushan, people have polyhedrons.
As the book "Inventors' World History" says: Success is only one side of the coin.
In this book, the author uses profound words to reveal the exploration of knowledge by 11 world-class inventors, giving readers an insight into the other side of scientists under the aura.
They are eccentrics who want to weigh the earth, fathers who bear the pain of losing their children, and even more ordinary people who are ignored by the outside world...
But their ultimate pursuit of scholarship and the spirit of seeking up and down are even more impressive.
Adults have to learn to do subtraction
Cavendish was born into the nobility and had a bank of £80,000 (1700s) that he had no intention of taking care of.
I only make one set of clothes a year, and I interact with my family once a year, in fact, all the time is spent doing research.
So he made significant contributions to electricity, optics, mathematics, mechanics, meteorology and astronomy.
He also didn't care about reputation, he wasn't sociable, he was a freak in the eyes of outsiders, obsessed with experimentation.
In the book "Minimalist Life", it is said: "There are very few things that are really precious and necessary in life. Spend every minute and every second on "what you really want to do" and "what really matters", so that you can live a happy life. ”
A simple life is a meaningful life.
As someone said: When you know what you don't want, you're an adult.
The so-called adulthood is to learn to subtract from the matter and add to the heart, in order to keep the original intention.
Live in the moment and cherish it
The law of conservation of energy is considered one of the most important natural science discoveries of the 19th century, but its discoverer, Robert Meier, suffered many kinds of tortures as a result.
In 1842, Robert Meier spearheaded this groundbreaking discovery, which he hoped to attract attention and praise.
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him at the first time, and he was sneered at, and in his opinion, everyone was contradicting him.
This became a source of his misfortune and was tormented.
Robert Meier began to drink heavily, to die, and even to become mentally ill.
It was not until 1854 that he was recognized by the circle.
Personally, I think Robert Mayer is a negative teaching material, fame and fortune are important, but living in the present is the most important.
Yu Hua said in "Alive": "Man lives for the sake of being alive itself, not for anything other than being alive." ”
We have to admit that life is fleeting, and what we really have is the most precious.
Living in the moment is not a negative attitude, but cherishing.
Only by cherishing the present can we not fear the future and not remember the past.
People do have unlimited potential
Hautemans is elusive, a multi-field crossover, married 4 times in his life, but the most wonderful part of his story is: through 1080 days of loneliness, another kind of beauty blooms.
On December 1, 1937, Hautemans was arrested.
In his prison, he could not receive letters from his family, did not have paper and pencil, and could not speak to people most of the time.
There is only endless loneliness.
Hautemans almost couldn't survive, but it was prime numbers that saved him.
He said: I survived only because of the prime numbers.
The lonely man spent 1,080 days in prison by extrapolating prime numbers.
It was not until 1940 that Hautemans was freed.
In the will given to the children, it happens to be his proof of prime numbers.
This achievement is valuable enough to be admired.
In fact, Hautemans proves that human willpower and creativity under extreme conditions still have unlimited potential, even if they reach the bottom.
This spirit of indomitability is awe-inspiring.
The scientists in "The World History of inventors" are undoubtedly the spiritual models of my generation, but I have to mention the characteristics of the author's writing.
Words are somewhere in the middle of storytelling and stereotypical storytelling, and try to be objective.
It was this author who translated The Last Emperor in German, giving a deep interpretation of the 11 scientists in the book.
