Shen Kuo went up the mountain to see peach blossoms.

"In April, the flowers in the world are exhausted, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are open." When reading this poem, Shen Kuo's eyebrows condensed into a knot. "Why did the flowers there fail, and the peach blossoms on the mountain began to bloom?" In order to solve this mystery, Shen Kuo and some friends made a field trip in the mountains. On the mountain in April, it was warm and cold at first sight, and the cool wind came, making people tremble with cold, and Shen Kuo was in full bloom. The temperature in the mountain is much lower than that in the mountain, so the flower season comes later than that in the mountain. With this searching spirit and empirical method, Shen Kuo wrote a written talk about Meng Xi when he grew up.

Where there is a will, there is a way: Schwarzenegger is determined to be the president of the United States.

More than forty years ago, a poor boy in his teens grew up in a slum, and his body was thin, but he decided in his diary that he wanted to be the president of the United States when he grew up. But how can we realize such a grand ambition? At a young age, after several days and nights of thinking, he worked out such a series of chain goals.

To be the president of the United States, you must first be the governor of the United States → run for the governor, get the support of strong financial backing → get the support of the consortium, must be integrated into the consortium → it is best to gather a rich and powerful woman → marry a rich and powerful woman, you must become a celebrity → The quick way to become a celebrity is to become a movie star → practice your body and masculinity before becoming a movie star.

With this in mind, he began to work step by step. One day, when he saw the famous gymnastics chairman Kuhl, he thought bodybuilding was a good idea to keep healthy, so he became interested in bodybuilding. He began to practice bodybuilding hard and persistently, and he longed to be the strongest man in the world. Three years later, with developed muscles and sculptural figure, he began to become a bodybuilder.

In the next few years, he included bodybuilders from Europe, the world, the world and the Olympic Games. At the age of 22, he entered Hollywood. In Hollywood, he spent ten years using his achievements in sports to show an indomitable and indomitable tough guy image. In the end, he became famous in the entertainment circle. When his film career was in full swing, his girlfriend's family finally accepted the "black-faced cultivator" after nine years of love. His girlfriend is the niece of the famous President Kennedy.

Married life has been loving for more than ten years. He and his wife had four children and established a typical family of "five good". In 2003, at the age of 57, he retired from the film industry and turned to politics, successfully running for the governor of California.

He is Arnold Schwarzenegger. His experience reminds people of the proverb: We can go as far as our thoughts go.

Copernicus received a good school education from an early age and liked to observe the astronomical phenomena. He often looks up at the starry night sky alone.

Once, my brother inexplicably asked Copernicus, "Is it filial piety for you to stay at the window all night and stare at the sky?"

Copernicus replied, "No, I want to study the weather all my life so that people are not afraid to look at the sky." I want the starry sky to make friends with people and let it correct the course for seagoing ships and guide the voyage for sailors. "

Young Hua tuo's apprentice

Hua Tuo likes reading since he was a child, full of research spirit and interested in medicine. Under the education of his mother, Xiao Huatuo decided not to seek an official position, but to be a good doctor to save the people and the world.

Then my mother got a strange disease, hot and cold, with pain all over and swollen skin. Hua tuo invited a famous doctor to treat the disease, but it didn't work. Before she died, her mother said to Hua Tuo, "Remember, son, your parents were tortured to death by this strange disease. I hope you will learn medical skills as soon as possible, so that people will suffer less from diseases! "

The death of his mother inspired Hua Tuo's determination to study medicine for the benefit of all beings. When he came to this city, he wanted to learn medicine from his father's good friend, Dr. Cai. At first, Dr. Cai didn't want to accept Hua Tuo as an apprentice, but when he thought about it, Hua Tuo's father was an old friend of his, and when his friend died, he suddenly broke up with others, which was inhuman.

So he wants to take an examination of Hua Tuo, and if it is the doctor's material, he will accept it; No, don't accept it.

Dr. Cai has made up his mind. Seeing several disciples picking mulberry leaves in the yard, he said to Hua Tuo, "Can you try picking the tallest mulberry leaves?" Hua Tuo said, "Yes." He asked someone to bring a rope and tie a small stone to it. When he threw it, the rope passed through the branch, the branch was pressed down and the mulberry leaves were picked. Dr Cai saw two goats fighting again, and his eyes were red. Someone pulled them away and said, "Hua tuo, can you pull these two goats away?" Hua tuo added, "Yes."

I saw him pull out two fresh grasses and put them beside the sheep. The sheep in the bucket have been hungry for a long time. They saw fresh grass and were busy grabbing grass to eat. Naturally, they dispersed and stopped fighting.

Seeing that Hua Tuo was so clever, Dr. Cai took him as an apprentice. After that, Hua Tuo studied hard with Master and paid attention to practice, and finally became a generation of famous doctors.

Su Shi is determined to read all the books on earth;

Su Shi, a clever boy, could read at the age of seven and write at the age of ten. He often speaks in the form of chapters and poems. Many elderly people came to Su Shi's home for advice, and gradually, Su Shi's reputation spread.

After listening to many people's praises, coupled with the fact that there are no unread books in the study, Su Shi gradually became proud. He felt that he was well versed in the poems from hundred schools of thought in pre-Qin Dynasty to Da Fu in Han and Tang Dynasties, and he could be said to be "educated". Under the control of this complacency, he proudly hung a couplet from the book in his study:

Know all the words in the world

Read all the books on earth.

Just when Shi was complacent, such a thing happened. One day, an old man with white hair came to ask for advice with a book. He said to Shi, "I have asked many scholars, but they don't know the words in this book." I heard that you are knowledgeable and everyone calls you a prodigy. You must know him, so I walked a lot to find you, hoping to get your help. " Su Shi confidently took the book in the old man's hand and thought, "Isn't it just a word?" I am sure I can! "But he opened the book and read it for a while. Not only has he never read it, but he has never even heard of its name, and he doesn't know many words in it at all. At this moment, he understood the meaning of others' words. Facing the old man's expectant eyes, he had to shake his head in shame.

After this incident, Su Shi woke up and felt that he still had a lot of knowledge to learn. It was really wrong to be so proud before. He remembered the scarlet couplet he had made, so Su Shi hurried back to his study and tore it down. But at the moment he started to work, he suddenly stopped, only to find that he just thought about it, picked up pen and ink, added two words before the upper and lower couplet, and then studied it, spread out his books contentedly and buried himself in his work. All this was clearly seen by my mother standing outside the window. So she came to the study and saw the couplets become:

Be angry and know all the words in the world.

Determined to read all the books on earth.

Mother smiled and nodded.

Su Shi has been like this since childhood. He is strict with himself in his studies. If there is anything inappropriate, he will definitely bring it up, even if the other party is a teacher, he will call a spade a spade. It is this good habit of taking study seriously that has been formed since childhood, which has achieved his position in the literary world and benefited him for life.

Mao Yisheng is determined to build a bridge.

Mao Yisheng is a famous bridge expert in China. He designed the Qiantang River Bridge, which is the first modern bridge in China.

When Mao Yisheng was eleven years old, he held a lively dragon boat race on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing.

He made an appointment with his friends to go to the river and have a good time together. But unfortunately, the night before, he suddenly fell ill and had to stay at home.

On Duanyang Festival, Mao Yisheng was lying in bed, but his heart flew to Qinhuai River. How he envies his little friend!

In the evening, my friends came back, listless and in tears. Mao Yisheng is very strange, ask just understand, originally something was wrong on the Qinhuai River. Because there were too many people watching the dragon boat, an ancient arch bridge called Wende Bridge collapsed, and many people fell into the river and drowned.

This is unfortunate. Mao Yisheng looked straight at the ceiling while waiting. It took a long time to say a word: "When I grow up, I must learn to build bridges and build the strongest bridges for everyone!"

From then on, Mao Yisheng's mind was almost occupied by the bridge. Whenever he goes out to see the bridge, he always looks up and down carefully; When you read about the bridge, you will copy it in your notebook immediately. He collected countless pictures and photos of various bridges. Because of this, he also got the nickname "Little Bridge Fan"!

Mao Zedong is determined to "learn not to be famous and never look back"

Mao Zedong has been studious since he was a child. He went to school at the age of eight and studied in several private schools. Most of the books taught in private schools are boring and very difficult to understand. The teacher never explains too much about the information in the book, but only makes the students memorize it blindly, so the students find it hard to learn. Mao Zedong doesn't like reading these books either. He was partial to many popular novels at that time, such as Said Tang Dynasty, The Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms and so on.

Nevertheless, Mao Zedong's academic performance has been very good. He is not only clever and studious, but also has a good memory and strong understanding. He read the endorsement homework left by the teacher several times and remembered it, so he was highly valued by the teacher.

Mao Zedong loves reading. He reads all the books he can find carefully. Every night, after he helped his father keep accounts, he hid in his room and read books. Father was very dissatisfied with this, thinking that these "casual books" and "miscellaneous books" read by Mao Zedong could not help him develop his family business, and it was a waste of lamp oil. So, he always tries to stop Mao Zedong from reading at night. On the other hand, Mao Zedong has his own way-he waits for his father to go to bed and covers the window with a blue sheet so that the lights in the room can't be seen outside. Then, he quietly reads and studies in the dim light, often until late at night.

1906 13 Mao Zedong became interested in history books. From Zuo Qiuming's Zuo Zhuan to Sima Qian's Historical Records, from Wang Shizhen's Lun Gang to Gu's Rizhilu, he studied them carefully. These history books not only greatly enriched his historical knowledge, but also had a far-reaching impact on Mao Zedong's academic attitude and patriotic thought. Since then, Mao Zedong has become more and more interested in studying history, which has benefited him a lot.

Young Mao Zedong not only likes reading, but also is good at thinking. Mao Zedong read a lot of old novels, and one day he suddenly found that most of them were about emperors, princes and heroes, but there were no farmers he was familiar with. He thought about this problem for two years, and finally understood that the person who wrote the book was not a farmer. They don't understand farmers and look down on them, so naturally they won't write about farmers. Mao Zedong thought it was unfair.

At that time, one of Mao Zedong's favorite books was "Warning in Prosperous Times". The author of this book, Zheng, is an early reformist thinker in China. It took him 30 years to write this book. The reform and innovation ideas advocated by the book and the ways to enrich the army made Mao Zedong's eyes wide open and fresh, which had an important impact on the development of Mao Zedong Thought.

During this period, Mao Zedong also read many books advocating new ideas and calling for national salvation. After reading a book exposing the imperialist occupation of China territory and oppression of the people of China, Mao Zedong's mood can no longer be calm.

Mao Zedong, a teenager, was keenly aware that it is the duty of everyone in China to save the country and the nation from danger. From then on, he studied China's social problems more seriously, expecting to seek the truth of saving the country and the people.

Therefore, Mao Zedong's desire for further study is even stronger. It turned out that in order to let him inherit the family business, his father insisted on sending him to a rice shop in the county as an apprentice. But Mao Zedong made up his mind and insisted on going out to study. He learned from his cousin that there is a new school in the county where he can receive a new education. In order to convince his stubborn father, he mobilized many lobbyists to intercede for him. Finally, my father was finally persuaded.

19 10, 16-year-old Mao Zedong finally stepped out of Shaoshanchong and entered a broader new world. He made a wish, "Don't learn to be famous and never come back".

In the new school, Mao Zedong learned new knowledge aggressively. In order to seek the truth of saving the country, he studied hard. In Yan Zhi and On Saving the Country for Survival, he expressed his ambition and determination to study for his country. After reading his composition, the headmaster couldn't help admiring and saying, "Today, there is a founder in our school!" " "

Driven by his great dream, Mao Zedong constantly and tenaciously sought the way to save the country. After more than ten years, Mao Zedong finally found the ideological weapon of Marxism–Leninism and a bright road to save the nation. "After the May 4th Movement, Mao Zedong began his revolutionary career.

From an ordinary peasant child to a firm Marxist; From a patriot to a great fighter, Mao Zedong has been tempered and tested by a long and arduous revolutionary struggle, and finally became the great leader of the China * * * production party and the people of China.

Henry Ford, the king of automobiles, once mentioned that the reason why I made such great achievements was because of a little thing that happened in a restaurant.

According to Henry Ford's description, when he was a mechanic, he once got his salary and went to a fancy restaurant he had been longing for. Unexpectedly, young Henry Ford sat in the restaurant for almost 15 minutes, but no waiter came to greet him.

Finally, it was a waiter in the restaurant who saw Henry Ford sitting alone for so long before he reluctantly went to the table and asked him if he wanted to order.

Henry Ford nodded yes, only to see the waiter impatiently throwing the menu on his desk. As soon as Henry Ford opened the menu and read a few lines, the waiter's contemptuous words came to his ears: "You don't need to read the menu too carefully, you are only suitable for reading the right part (referring to the price) and the left part (referring to the dishes), so you don't have to bother to read it!"

Henry Ford looked up in surprise, and his eyes met the waiter's disdainful expression, which made Henry Ford very angry at the moment. In anger, he couldn't help but want to order the most expensive meal. But on second thought, remembering the poor salary in my pocket, I had to bite my teeth. Henry Ford only ordered a hamburger.

The waiter snorted from his nostrils and arrogantly withdrew the menu from Henry Ford's hand. Although he said nothing, the expression on his face clearly made Henry Ford understand: "I know, you poor boy, you can only afford hamburgers!" "

After the waiter left, Henry Ford didn't continue to be angry about spending money. Instead, he calmed down and thought carefully about why he could only order what he could afford, but he couldn't order the big meal he really wanted.

Henry Ford is determined to become a social elite. From then on, he began to move towards his dream, from an ordinary mechanic to an all-powerful car king.
