Beethoven

Beethoven is a world-famous musician, and he is also the one with the worst fate. In his childhood, Beethoven grew up soaked in tears. His family was poor and his parents were at odds, which resulted in Beethoven's character being serious, withdrawn, stubborn and independent. He had strong and deep feelings in his heart. He began composing music at the age of 12. At the age of 14, he participated in an orchestra performance and received wages to support his family. When he was 17 years old, his mother died of illness, leaving only two younger brothers, a younger sister and a fallen father in the family. Soon, Beethoven contracted typhoid fever and smallpox and almost died. Beethoven has simply become a symbol of suffering, and his misfortune is unbearable for a child. Still, Beethoven pulled through. He loves music so much that he can't live without it. In his works, there are shadows of his life, which are full of noble thoughts and reveal his pursuit and yearning for beautiful things in the world. He has endless feelings for the beautiful nature. To say that Beethoven had a bad fate not only refers to his miserable childhood. In fact, his greatest misfortune was his deafness at the age of 28. First, the ears were ringing day and night, and then the hearing was getting weaker and weaker. He went for a walk in the fields and could no longer hear the farmer's flute. From then on, he lived a lonely life as a deaf person, devoting all his energy to fighting the deafness. Beethoven lived in the world, but there were too few people who could understand him, and the only thing that could give him comfort was music. When he was composing music, he often bit a thin wooden stick in his mouth to feel the vibration of the piano. He used a voice that he could not hear to express his love for nature, his pursuit of truth, and his longing for the future. His famous "Symphony of Destiny" was created in a state of complete loss of hearing. It is Beethoven's most outstanding work. Its theme reflects the struggle between human beings and fate and their ultimate victory over fate. This is also a portrayal of his own life. This is a heavy and powerful note that appears continuously in the first movement. Beethoven said: ?This is how fate knocks on the door. ?He firmly believes that?music can make the human spirit explode. ?Fight tenaciously and achieve victory through struggle. ?This kind of thought runs through Beethoven's works.

On March 26, 1827, on a thunderstorm night, the musical giant passed away. He was only 57 years old at that time. Beethoven's life was miserable. The world never gave him joy, but he created joy for mankind. Beethoven was physically weak, but he was truly strong.

Hawking

Hawking had already made up his mind to engage in research in physics and astronomy when he was thirteen or fourteen years old. At the age of seventeen, he received a scholarship in natural sciences and successfully entered Oxford University. After graduating with a bachelor's degree, he transferred to Cambridge University to study for a PhD, studying cosmology. He soon discovered he had Lou Gehrig's disease, which causes muscle wasting. Because the doctors were helpless about the disease, he initially planned to give up his ideal of doing research. However, later the deterioration of the disease slowed down, and he regained his mood, overcome all difficulties, stood up from the setback, and faced this misfortune bravely. Continue your research.

In the 1970s, he and Penrose proved the famous singularity theorem, and both won the Wolf Prize in Physics in 1988. He also proved that the area of ??a black hole does not decrease with time. In 1973, he discovered that the temperature of black hole radiation is inversely proportional to its mass, that is, the black hole will become smaller due to radiation, but the temperature will increase, and eventually it will explode and disappear.

In the 1980s, he began to study quantum cosmology. At this time, he already had problems with his mobility. Later, he underwent tracheal surgery due to pneumonia, which made him unable to speak again. Now he is paralyzed and relies on an electric wheelchair to replace his legs. He also relies on computers and speech synthesizers to speak and write.

Although everyone thinks he is very unfortunate, his scientific achievements were achieved after he became ill.

With his perseverance and unyielding will, he defeated the disease, created a miracle, and proved that disability is not an obstacle to success. His love for life and enthusiasm for scientific research are worth learning from the younger generation.

I want to seize fate by the throat

At the age of 30, Beethoven fell in love with a Countess Juliet Chichardi, but her father suspected that Beethoven was of low birth and insisted on Betroth your daughter to a count. This gave Beethoven great mental stimulation. It is said that his famous song "Für Elise" was composed during this period.

Although being broken up in love made him sad, what made him even more sad was that his ears began to become deaf. He wrote in a letter to a friend: "I live a miserable life. If I were to do other professions, it might be okay; but in my profession, this is the most terrible experience!" Beethoven once said After trying all possible treatments to no avail, he moved to the countryside of Vienna to recuperate for two years. As a result, instead of getting better, his condition worsened. Even the church bell opposite the window could no longer be heard.

In despair, Beethoven thought about death many times, but he was unwilling to pass away like this. He firmly believed that only music could save him. He wrote in a letter to a friend: "I will hold the throat of fate and not allow it to destroy me!" Beethoven determined to engage in music creation for the rest of his life. Since then, Vienna's official concert has lost an outstanding pianist, but the world music scene has given birth to an immortal composer.

Beethoven began composing music at the age of 32. After nearly two years of hesitation and exploration, he finally created his first work with his own distinctive characteristics - "Symphony No. 3" ("Symphony No. 3"). "Eroica Symphony"), its most prominent feature is the ups and downs of the tone, sometimes calm and meditative, sometimes angry and roaring, which makes people angry. Beethoven composed the "Eroica Symphony" and originally intended it to be dedicated to Napoleon. However, when he heard the news that Napoleon was crowned emperor at Notre Dame de Paris, he was furious and angrily erased the original dedication and changed it to: "Heroic Symphony"-composed in memory of a great figure.

Socrates’ habits

Socrates was used to going to the bustling Athens market to give speeches and debate issues with others. When he talks and discusses problems with others, he often adopts a distinctive form.

On this day, Socrates came to the market as usual. He grabbed a passerby and said, "I'm sorry! I have a question that I don't understand, and I want to ask you for advice." Everyone talks about being a moral person, but what exactly is morality? The man replied: "Being loyal, honest, and not deceiving others is the only way to be moral." ?

Socrates pretended not to understand and asked: ?But why do our generals try every possible means to deceive the enemy when fighting the enemy?

?Deceiving the enemy is It is ethical, but it is immoral to deceive others. ?Socrates retorted: ?When our army was surrounded by enemy troops, in order to boost morale, the general deceived the soldiers and said that our reinforcements had arrived, and everyone worked hard to break out. The breakout turned out to be a success. Is this kind of deception immoral?

The man said: "It was done out of helplessness during the war. It is immoral to do this in daily life." ?

Socrates asked again: ?Suppose your son is sick and refuses to take medicine. As a father, you deceive him and say that this is not medicine, but a delicious thing. , is this also immoral?

The man had to admit: "This kind of deception is also ethical." ?

Socrates was not satisfied and asked again: "It is moral not to lie to others, but it can also be said to be moral to lie to others." That is to say, morality cannot be explained by whether you lie to others or not. What exactly should be used to explain it? Please tell me!?

The man thought for a while and said: "You can't be moral if you don't know morality. Only by knowing morality can you be moral."

?

Socrates smiled with satisfaction, took the man's hand and said: "You are really a great philosopher. You told me about moral knowledge and helped me understand a long-term problem." Puzzling questions, I sincerely thank you!?

Socrates called this method of clarifying problems through constant questioning "spiritual midwifery". ;
