1 Sun Jing of the Han Dynasty studied hard and studied late into the night every morning. Because of fatigue and drowsiness, I often doze off unconsciously. He hung one end of the rope on the beam and tied his hair at the other end. In this way, when you take a nap, your scalp will hurt. Later, he finally became a master of Confucianism.
During the Warring States Period, Su Qin failed in lobbying Qin State, but his family ignored him. He became angry from embarrassment and taught himself to become useful. Whenever I doze off, I stab my thigh with an awl until I bleed profusely. Later he became a famous scholar.
Later generations combined their deeds and described self-study as "hanging the beam and stabbing the stock".
Tong Dizhou, 1902, was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang. His father is a teacher in a private school. Tong Dizhou studied in a private school with his father since childhood, working while studying. My father often tells Tong Dizhou the story of the ancients' hard study, telling him that there is no end to learning, and he must persevere. He also wrote down the words "A drop of water wears a stone" and hung it on Tong Dizhou's desk, encouraging him to study hard and hoping that he would make a difference.
"A drop of water wears away a stone" is my father's encouragement to Tong Dizhou. In fact, Tong Dizhou is practicing this spirit by himself. He seized every minute and climbed to the top of science with tenacious perseverance.
In the private school, Tong Dizhou only learned some knowledge of literature and history, which was far from satisfying Tong Dizhou's thirst for knowledge. Because his family is poor, he has no money to go to school. Therefore, although Tong Dizhou is eager to go to school one day and study with his peers, he can't. It was not until 17 years old that he entered the preparatory class of Ningbo Normal University with the help of his brother. You don't have to pay tuition here, but you can also eat and live here. It is very lucky that children from poor families can go to school here. Tong Dizhou was very happy. He seized this hard-won opportunity and studied hard, never letting go of a minute. Because he had only learned a little knowledge of literature and history in a private school before, and had no foundation in mathematics and physics, Tong Dizhou had a hard time studying, but instead of being discouraged, he studied harder and wanted to catch up with others.
Not only that, deep down, he also set himself a higher goal-he wants to get into an effective middle school. The school was a first-class school in Ningbo at that time, and its graduates generally went to college. How many dignitaries are proud of their children studying in Xiaoshi Middle School! Primary schools, on the other hand, have high requirements for English and attach great importance to the basics of mathematics and physics, which are just the weak links in Tong Dizhou. Besides, he has never learned English. Tong Dizhou has worked harder since he set the goal of being a practical middle school student. He began to teach himself English, often studying late into the night. My brother was moved by Tong Dizhou's determination and promised to send him to school. I also asked a friend in Ningbo to ask my brother about the enrollment of Xiaoshi Middle School.
My brother's friend brought bad news to Tong Dizhou from Ningbo: Xiaoshi Middle School didn't recruit freshmen this time, but only the top students in Grade Three. My brother thought: As far as the foundation of Tong Dizhou is concerned, it is already very difficult to take the first grade exam, and now only the third grade students are recruited. What can we do? Brother hesitated, so he went to consult with Tong Dizhou. Tong Dizhou still hasn't changed his mind after hearing the news. He must go to Xiaoshi Middle School, so he decided to take the placement exam.
Relying on the spirit of "water drops pierce the stone", the iron pestle can also be ground into a needle. Tong Dizhou passed the third grade of Xiaoshi Middle School, but he came last. One year later, Tong Dizhou changed from the penultimate to the ordinal number one, and his geometry score changed from failing in admission to 100 a year later! Later, Tong Dizhou was admitted to Fudan University with excellent results and became the high flyers of Fudan University. After graduation, I went to study at Bijing University in Brussels, Belgium. He received his doctorate at 1934, when he was 32 years old.
Gorky, a great writer of the former Soviet Union, was called "the most outstanding representative of proletarian art" by Lenin.
He was born into a carpenter's family in Russian times. He lost his father at the age of 4 and was placed in foster care at his grandmother's house. Because of his extremely cold family, he only attended primary school for two years. 10 years old, entering the cold "human world". He worked as an apprentice, porter, caretaker and baker. He also wandered to southern Russia twice and was tortured by a miserable life. But he likes reading very much. In any case, he will seize every opportunity to pounce on the book and read it hungrily. As he himself said, "I jumped into the book, just like a hungry man jumped into the bread."
In order to study, he endured humiliation. 10 years old, working as an apprentice in a shoe store. When he has no money to buy books, he borrows books everywhere. At that time, preschool children were actually slaves: shopping in the street, making stoves, cleaning the floor, washing vegetables and taking care of children ... from morning to half an hour every day. After a hard day, I insist on reading with a homemade lamp.
The proprietress forbade Gorky to study and went to the attic to find books herself. When she found them, she tore them up. I was beaten by my boss's wife for studying. Gorky can endure anything, even torture, in order to study. He said, "If someone suggested to me,' Go to the square and hit you with a stick!'" "I think I can accept this condition."
Gorky studied hungrily and worked diligently all his life, so he wrote many influential works: Haiyan, Song of the Eagle, Mother, The Life of Kerim Samgin, Childhood, The World and My University. In addition, he also wrote plays and a large number of political essays, features and literary comments.
It's been four nights, and Mayakovski is still working nervously. But the sandman became more and more entangled. He felt his head was so heavy that his eyelids seemed to be glued and he couldn't open them. He can't work any more, so he has to lie down for a while.
He ran to the kitchen to get a big piece of firewood, put it on the bed, leaned his head against the firewood and fell asleep. The chopping wood is angular, leaving a deep mark on the meat at the back of the head. He turned his body slightly in his sleep, and he felt unbearable pain in his head. He woke up, jumped up and went on with his work.
This is Mayakovski's original Chopping Wood to Make a Pillow, which is really unique. At that time, he was doing revolutionary propaganda work in Raster. His work is so intense that he hardly has time to rest. The cold winter is coming. I have been busy all day in the cold studio without a fire, and I often have to "work overtime" after I get home. Sometimes he is really tired and just takes a nap. In order to avoid sleeping and forgetting to wake up, he thought of a way to use chopping wood as a pillow.
Mayakovski has always been so diligent, tenacious and persistent in his work. 19 15 In the spring and summer, he lived in a villa in Kwakara, Finsky Bay and wrote a long poem. Every day at dawn, he came to the Kwakara coast, where many round and slippery stones emerged from the water. People saw him standing on these big stones, walking from one piece to another, sometimes stopping to smoke a few cigarettes. Then he walked step by step, sometimes slowing down, sometimes speeding up, and sometimes frowning; Sometimes it seems leisurely and relaxed. In this way, for three hours, four hours and five hours in a row, I kept reciting, choosing the words I needed and writing the appropriate poems. When you come up with a poem, write it on a cigarette case, or simply keep it in mind, and then "seek poverty" and continue to work.
When Mayakovski wrote the famous long poem Lenin, he first devoted himself to studying Lenin's biography and related memoirs, as well as Lenin's own papers and speeches, and then he wrote nervously.
According to Mayakovski's friend Ashev, a young poet at that time, "He didn't talk to anyone to avoid being distracted by other things. He went to the villa and lived there alone for three months. He feels that he shoulders a very important responsibility in front of this huge theme. "
Another witness recalled: "He was writing a long poem Lenin, and his suitcase was full of Lenin's works and books about Lenin. On the beach, in the restaurant, he walked and took out a pamphlet with black paint everywhere. His lips moved slightly and he wrote a poem that flooded his mind. "
After six months of hard work, this long poem was completed. When Mayakovski recited in the crowd, it immediately aroused strong repercussions. The newspaper reported at the time: "The hall was crowded with people. This long poem won warm applause from the whole hall. At the beginning of the discussion, many comrades said that this was the most powerful work of Lenin. Most speakers agree that this long poem is entirely our work. Mayakovski wrote this long poem, which is a great event for the proletariat. "
Mayakovski, who worked hard, made outstanding achievements in his life. Stalin once praised him and said, "Mayakovski was and still is the best and most talented poet in our Soviet era."
Study hard for famous articles 5. Franklin, a famous politician and scientist in America18th century, loved reading since childhood. Poor families have no money to go to school. Since childhood, they have made a living by themselves, often starving and saving money to buy books.
One day, Franklin saw a white-haired old woman on the road. She was too hungry to walk. He quickly gave her his only piece of bread. The way the old woman looked at Franklin, she was also a poor man and couldn't bear to accept his bread. "You eat, I still have a lot in my bag." Franklin patted his backpack full of books. Franklin took out a book from his backpack and read it with relish. The old woman was eating bread. "Son, why don't you eat bread?" The old woman asked. Franklin smiled and replied, "reading is much more delicious than bread!" " "
Due to financial constraints and limited ability to buy books, he has to borrow books frequently. He often knocks on the door to borrow books from friends, even lights a lamp, concentrates on reading, refreshes himself with cold water when he is tired, sits down and continues reading, and returns the books to the owner on time the next morning, never breaking his word.
Wang Chong was an outstanding thinker in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, with materialism and critical spirit.
Wang Chong's father died when he was a teenager. Wang Chong tried his best to support his mother. Later, I went to Beijing, studied in imperial academy, and studied under the famous scholar Ban Biao at that time. He likes reading extensively and is good at grasping key issues, so he has made rapid progress.
Wang Chong is very absorbed in reading and has a strong ability to understand and remember. He can remember the main contents of the book and even recite some wonderful chapters as long as he reads it once. However, the family is poor and can't afford many books. In order to satisfy his thirst for knowledge, Wang Chong came up with a good idea. At that time, there were many bookstores on Luoyang Street, so Wang Chong decided to use bookstores as his "library". After breakfast every day, he takes dry food and goes to the bookstore to see the books he sells. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, rain or shine, he read one book after another and went to one bookstore after another. In this way, he finally read all the hundreds of important works and mastered the basic spirit of the book.
Because Wang Chong was born in poverty, his understanding of natural phenomena and social phenomena was basically based on the actual life of working people. After reading the main works of a hundred schools of thought contend, he was deeply dissatisfied with some idealistic preaching that served the ruling class, and made up his mind to severely criticize it. So I concentrated on thinking independently and set about writing a book. In order not to delay time and interrupt his thoughts, he put his pen and paper on the door, window, stove, post and even toilet of his home, thinking a little, writing a little, and writing where he went. After long-term efforts, he finally wrote Lun Heng, which is full of critical spirit and shines with materialism.
Song Lian liked reading when he was a child, but his family was poor. I have no money to buy books, so I have to borrow them from someone else's house. Every time I borrow a book, he talks about the deadline, returns it on time and never breaks the contract. People are willing to lend them to him.
Once, he borrowed a book, and the more he read it, the more he couldn't put it down, so he decided to copy it. But the deadline for returning the book is coming. He had to copy books overnight. It's the middle of winter and the twelfth month, dripping into ice. His mother said, "Son, it's midnight. It's cold. Copy at dawn. People are not waiting for this book to read. "
Song Lian said, "No matter how many people are waiting to read this book, it must be returned before the deadline. This is a question of credit and a sign of respect for others. If you are dishonest in what you say and do, how can you get the respect of others? "
On one occasion, Song Lian wanted to consult a distant celebrity and made an appointment to meet him, but it began to snow on the day of departure. When Song Lian picked up her luggage and was ready to go on the road, her mother said in surprise, "How can you travel far in this weather?" Besides, the teacher has closed the mountain in heavy snow.
Your old cotton-padded jacket can't resist the cold in the mountains! "Song Lian said," Mom, if you don't leave today, you'll miss the day of your official career, so you'll stand me up. To stand up is to disrespect the teacher. No matter how heavy the snow is, I will go. "When Song Lian arrived at the teacher's home, the teacher was moved to praise him and said," Young people, keep your word, be eager to learn, and you will surely make great achievements in the future! "
Life is fragile, so we can only live strong. Bai, who said this, was deeply moved when he recalled his poor childhood.
Bai was born in a remote town in Inner Mongolia. At the age of 8, my father died unfortunately, and my mother provoked this stormy home with strength and forbearance. Bai, who always gives the impression of unsmiling, was a naughty child when he was a child. He often makes his mother angry and is beaten by her. Bai has to be beaten at least twice a day, otherwise, even he will be surprised.
Being too playful, Bai got poor grades in school when he was a child. On one occasion, Bai's test score was the second lowest in the class. As soon as he got angry, he secretly tore up the posted score sheet.
With the growth of age, the poor family environment has honed Bai's strong character of hard work and courage to meet challenges. Gradually, our grades caught up with Bai. In the third year of high school, in order to improve his grades faster, he found all the textbooks he had learned and bound them. The first volume of history is more than 600 pages, the first volume of geography is 700 pages, and the first volume of Chinese is 1000 pages. Then, Bai reads 30 pages of books in each subject every day and does math problems. Perseverance, Bai finally admitted to the university.
Looking back now, Bai said with emotion: The loveliest thing about youth is that there is plenty of time to squander. You can make countless mistakes because you have time to correct them. But when this afternoon tea arrives in your hands, you will know to do the right thing quickly, because there is no time to correct it if it is wrong.
Bai also has his own views on college life. "I must be an inclusive person in college. What I hate most is that the word "specialty" in college ruined me. If I had studied more liberal arts, I think I would have been better than now. I remember when I interviewed Professor Yang Zhenning in the Great Hall of the People, he said,' The end point of physics research is philosophy'. In fact, many courses are interlinked. I think the best people are often' hybrids', and Chairman Mao is a southerner. "
