1. German astronomer Kepler
The German astronomer Kepler was troubled since his childhood. He died prematurely after only seven months in his mother's womb. Came to the human world. Later, smallpox turned him into pockmarks, and scarlet fever damaged his eyes. However, he studied hard with his tenacious and persevering character, and his academic performance was far ahead of his peers.
Later, due to his father's debt, he lost the opportunity to study, so he studied astronomy on his own. In his later life, he experienced a series of blows such as illness, the death of his mentor, and the death of his wife, but he still did not stop his astronomical research, and finally discovered the three laws of celestial motion at the age of 59. He turned all misfortunes into motivation to move forward. With amazing perseverance, he won the crown of science and became the "stander of the sky."
2. American inventor Edison
When Edison invented the light bulb, he failed many times. When he used more than a thousand materials to make filaments, his assistant said to him: : "You have failed more than a thousand times, and success has become slim, so give up!"
But Edison said: "My gains so far are pretty good. At least I found more than a thousand This material cannot be used to make filaments." Finally, he finally succeeded after more than 6,000 experiments.
3. Sun Kang from Jin Dynasty
He came from a poor family but loved reading. At night, although I had time, I couldn't afford lamp oil, so I had to silently recall and digest the knowledge I learned during the day. One winter, he woke up in the middle of the night and felt that the room was not completely dark, and he could vaguely see some things. It turned out to be caused by the reflection of the white snow. This inspired him: why not use the snow light to read a book?
So snowy nights, especially snowy nights under the moonlight, became a good time for Sun Kang to study hard. Because of his diligence and studious, he finally became a famous scholar and became a censor.
