1, poaching and stealing light

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.

4. Sima Guang studied it.

Sima Guang had a poor memory when he was a child. Some people recite an article, reading it three or four times is enough, and reading it ten times is almost enough, but he has to read it dozens of times every time. In order to recite articles, Sima Guang often studies until late at night, but because he is also studying during the day, he is too sleepy to open his eyes at night, and sometimes he lies there and falls asleep in a daze. Later, he took a piece of wood as a pillow. In the middle of the night, as soon as he turned over, the log rolled away. As soon as his head was lowered, he would wake up immediately and get up again to continue reading. He called logs "police pillows".

5. Sue studies inspirational stories hard.

Su, born in 190 1, is a famous mathematician and scholar in China, and once served as honorary president of Fudan University.

At that time, he thought, there must be no chance to study in this life.

It happened that a rich family in the village hired a tutor to teach his son to read. Sue listens outside the window when she is free, and writes and draws casually. Unexpectedly, this childe didn't learn well, but Sue learned a lot of knowledge. Seeing that he wanted to study so much, his uncle took out money to persuade Sue's father to send him to a primary school hundreds of miles away.

In the first semester of primary school, Sue came last in the exam. The teacher called him to the office and encouraged him enthusiastically. This greatly moved Sue, and she made up her mind to make a fortune. If he really makes up his mind, the situation will be different. From the second semester to the university graduation, I won the first prize every semester.

Sue is a model of taking the time to study hard. Since primary school, he has spent time reading many good books. After entering junior high school, his first composition was handed in. At first glance, the teacher found that the writing was very similar to the famous Zuo Zhuan in ancient times, and she wondered if Sue had written it herself. In class, the teacher wanted to test him, so he randomly selected an article on Zuo Zhuan and asked him to talk about what he had written. Unexpectedly, he immediately recited the article word for word to the teacher. This surprised teachers and classmates: it turned out that he could recite Zuo Zhuan!
