1. Einstein adheres to the theory of relativity-it takes self-confidence to adhere to the truth. After the publication of Einstein's theory of relativity, someone once wrote a book "Relativity refuted by a hundred people", and collected a group of so-called celebrities to make a huge rebuttal to this theory. But Einstein was confident that his theory would win and rejected the rebuttal. He said, "If my theory is wrong, a rebuttal is enough. One hundred zeros add up to zero. " He strengthened his belief in winning, persisted in his research, and finally made "Theory of Relativity" a great theory in the 20th century, attracting worldwide attention. Madame Curie and Radium-Only with full confidence can they overcome their immediate difficulties and see a bright future. In order to extract pure radium, determine its atomic weight and prove its existence to science, Madame Curie used to wear overalls full of dust and stains all day, in a very humble way. Stir the smelting pot with an iron bar almost as high as her, and look for traces of radium from the asphalt mine waste residue of a mountain. The conditions are extremely difficult, but her heart is full of confidence. She said to her friends, "We should have perseverance, especially confidence! We must believe that our talent is used to do something, and this kind of thing must be done at any cost. " She finally succeeded. 3. Einstein builds confidence from vertical comparison-comparing with his past self to gain confidence. When Einstein, a great scientist, was in elementary school, once he finished his work class, and all his classmates handed in their works except Einstein until the next day. He just sent a small bench with poor workmanship. The teacher was very dissatisfied and said, "I don't think there will be a worse bench in the world …" Einstein replied, "Yes." He unhurriedly took out two small benches from under the table, raised his left hand and said, "This is my first time." The small bench with the right hand raised said, "This is my second time." But better than these two. "Einstein's self-confidence was established in longitudinal comparison. 4. Pu Songling's writing books ranks last-self-confidence makes people rise from setbacks. Pu Songling, a famous writer in China, wrote a pair of self-encouragement couplets after winning the last place in the imperial examination: "Where there is a will, there is a way, cross the rubicon, and 120 Qin Guan will eventually be Chu;" Hard-working people are worth every day, and their services are rewarded. More than 3,000 armor can swallow Wu. "Not only will he not fall behind, but he will do something very confidently, persistently engage in literary creation, and finally write the immortal masterpiece Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. You must remember the eternal regret. The bleak autumn wind of the immortal promise blows over Wuzhangyuan, and you only look at the extinguished seven-star lamp and sigh. The Northern Expedition has become your eternal regret. You must remember Liu Huangshu's kindness when he visited the cottage. You said, "If you were a general, you would do your best. "So you bid farewell to the place where you lived for many years, for the promise you made. So you started using fire in Bowangpo, and Cao Jun was frightened. When he arrived in Wu Dong, he fought Confucianism, which provoked Zhou Yu to make Liu Bei and Sun Quan as close as lips and teeth. The straw boat borrowed an arrow, which surprised Zhou Yu. He is as comfortable as Mount Tai. No one can match you in intelligence and wisdom. He was defeated and ordered to be in danger. You only made a promise and left no regrets. So you borrowed the east wind from the Seven Star Altar to help Zhou Yu burn Chibi and stop Cao Cao from going south. The occupation of Jingzhou gave Liu Bei and his son a place to live. Seeking a wife will make Wu Dong lose his wife and fold his soldiers; Zhou Yu vomited blood and died. You mediated heaven and earth, repaired Gankun, and made the unpredictable machine make a promise without regret. So you took Sichuan and Shu in the west and Hanzhong in the north, and made Liu Bei the king of Hanzhong, and he won three points of the world. However, you never know that Liu Bei became an orphan in Bai Di, and your promise turned into regret. However, you made another promise. In the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, Sima Jun gave his life. You left Qishan six times, and you saw that great things can be achieved. Your promise is now. But God's will makes it difficult. You know that your birthday is over and the Han Dynasty is dead. You want to kill the thief, but you can't return to heaven. " But before he conquered, he died, and since then the heroes have been crying on their coats. "Your promise turned into regret. Forever regret is only due to immortal promises; The immortal promise left us an immortal history without regrets. At the beginning of the 20th century, when Xu Beihong was studying in Europe, he met a foreigner who picked things up. The foreigner said, "China people are very ignorant. They are born to be conquered materials, and even if they are sent to heaven for further study, they will not become talents! " Xu Beihong replied indignantly: "Well, I represent my motherland and you represent your country. When you graduate from school, you will know who is a talent and who is a fool! "A year later, Xu Beihong's oil paintings were well received by French artists. After that, he won the first prize in many competitions. His solo exhibition caused a sensation in the whole Paris art world. This amazing achievement is beyond the reach of that foreigner. Newton, known as the "father of mechanics", founded calculus in his twenties, discovered the spectrum and put forward the law of universal gravitation. But he didn't take the credit for himself. Instead, he said modestly, "If I see farther than Descartes, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants. "Darwin, the founder of evolution theory, had a conversation in an interview with British writer Halton:" Your special achievement? " "No." "What is your main weakness?" "I don't know math and new languages, I lack observation and I'm not good at logical thinking." "What's your attitude towards learning?" "I worked hard, but I didn't master the learning method. "Where are the self-esteem and self-confidence of these two accomplished scientists?" Modesty makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind. " Modesty is the expression of self-esteem and self-confidence. Seiji Ozawa is a world-famous symphony conductor. In the final of a world-class command competition, he conducted according to the score given by the jury, and keenly found the discordant voice. At first, he thought the band had made a mistake and stopped to play again, but it was still wrong. At this time, he felt that there was something wrong with the music. The composer present and the authority of the jury insisted that there was absolutely no problem with the score, but he was wrong. Facing a large number of music masters and authorities, he thought over and over again, and finally said firmly and loudly, "No! There must be something wrong with the score! " As soon as his voice fell, the judges on the bench immediately stood up and gave him warm applause to congratulate him on winning the game. It turns out that this is a "trap" carefully designed by the judges to test whether the conductor can stick to his correct opinion when he finds that the score is wrong and is "denied" by the authorities. Although the top two conductors in the final also found mistakes, they were eventually eliminated because they echoed the opinions of authoritative people. Seiji Ozawa is full of confidence.
