Einstein's mother was often worried about this. She repeatedly warned Einstein, "It can't go on like this. If you don't learn something now, how can you get ahead when you grow up? " Einstein always replied disapprovingly, "Look at my friends, aren't they all like me?"
Until the autumn of 16, one morning, my father stopped Einstein who was about to go fishing by the river and said, "I met an interesting thing yesterday." How about going fishing after I tell you? "
Einstein stopped reluctantly.
Father said, "Yesterday, my neighbor Uncle Jack and I went to the southern factory to clean a big chimney. The chimney can only go up if you step on the steel ladder in the chimney. Your uncle Jack is in the front and I am in the back. We grabbed the handrail and finally climbed up step by step. When I came down, your uncle Jack was still in front and I was still behind him. Later, when we came out of the chimney, we found a strange thing: your uncle Jack's body and face were blackened by soot in the chimney, but I didn't even have any soot on me. "
Einstein's father continued to smile and said, "I saw your uncle Jack and thought I must be dirty like a clown, so I went to the nearby river to wash and wash." And your uncle Jack, seeing me clean when I came out of the chimney, thought he was as clean as me, so he washed his hands and went straight to the street. As a result, everyone in the street laughed their heads off and thought your uncle Jack was crazy. "
Einstein couldn't help laughing with his father. My father just smiled and solemnly said to Einstein, "In fact, no one else can be your mirror, only you are your own mirror. Taking others as a mirror, an idiot may also turn himself into a genius. "
Hearing this, Einstein suddenly looked ashamed.
Einstein left the naughty children. He always takes himself as a mirror to examine and reflect on himself, and finally reflects the brilliance of his life.
1. Ouyang Xiu's eight-character idiom
2. Make sentences with the two meanings reflected
What do you mean by worry? What do you mean by "this"?
What do you mean by disapproving?
5. Why did Einstein stop reluctantly?
1. Close to Zhu Zhechi, close to jet black.
2. Lighting means weeping willows are reflected in the mirror-like lake.
The implication-I always look at myself as a mirror to examine and reflect on myself.
Worry is your inner anxiety.
"This" means that Einstein is very playful, like a complete hippie.
"Disapproving" means that his mother warned Einstein not to go on like this. He doesn't study anything now and can't go out when he grows up. Einstein didn't think so.
Einstein "reluctantly" stopped, because Einstein was very interested in fishing, and he thought what his father said might be meaningless. Not in the mood to listen.
