People who haven't done a physics test in the middle of the night are not enough to hate why the apple hit Newton right on the head.
Later, Baidu found that the apple had just landed, and Newton saw it and thought of gravity. As a result, it was embellished by later generations and became a blow. There is also speculation that Apple doesn't exist at all, but Newton invented his experience afterwards.
But even if it wasn't an apple that hit him on the head, it was a piece of bird shit. What do you care?
The point is, even if we are hit by an apple 10 thousand times, we will have a concussion or pick it up and eat it. But even without apples, people can find gravity. Why is this?
In addition to his talent and hard work, he also has a curiosity to constantly explore the unknown.
So, through today's morning reading: curiosity. Let's analyze how to become a great god like Newton.
Baidu studied Newton's growing experience and found that he liked reading and meditation. Have a strong curiosity about natural phenomena. Newton not only recorded all kinds of reading notes in different categories, but also liked to make some ingenious handmade inventions after studying various principles, such as windmills, wooden clocks, folding lanterns and so on.
Later, Newton made three famous achievements: the analysis of light, the law of universal gravitation and calculus. These achievements span optics, physics and mathematics. In addition, people have made research contributions in astronomy and economics. It is an encyclopedia of walking.
So, the first step to becoming Newton: be curious. It is like an engine, which urges us to satisfy our thirst for knowledge by reading, thinking and other learning methods like Newton.
Even if you have the same curiosity as Newton, you are not necessarily Newton.
Because curiosity is divided into two kinds:
0 1, entertainment curiosity
This is human instinct, that is, to entertain oneself through the attention of all kinds of gossip information. From the gossip of various stars to the private life of Lao Wang next door, it is easy for people to pay attention.
02, cognitive curiosity
This sense of value is higher, because it stems from the love of knowledge and can stimulate creativity.
Our great god Newton was curious about all kinds of things since childhood, such as geometry, Heliocentrism, and even painting and sculpture. In their spare time, people either read all kinds of books, or delve into math problems, or make an invention, unlike we just chase a play, brush our circle of friends and brush Weibo.
It is this cognitive curiosity that makes him not only make great contributions in physics, but also make achievements in mathematics and astronomy.
Therefore, the second step to become Newton is to have correct curiosity-cognitive curiosity.
But how can we have a strong cognitive curiosity like Newton? You can refer to the following three methods:
0 1 Fox Hedgehog Introduction
A fox is a fox's fox, and a hedgehog is a hedgehog.
Foxes are cunning by nature, and there are many ways to avoid enemies. It knows many things;
Hedgehogs have only one strategy: huddle up and protect themselves with thorns. And won many wars. It knows the most important thing.
Newton was both a fox and a hedgehog. On the one hand, he studied mechanics deeply, on the other hand, he kept enough enthusiasm and study for other subjects. These outstanding contributions made him the second person on the list of 100 people who influenced the course of human history, second only to Muhammad.
Therefore, to be curious, you should not only be proficient in at least one aspect of knowledge like a hedgehog, but also be able to think from different angles like a fox.
02. Empathy exploration
Empathy inquiry is to ask yourself more in life [what it looks like to others]. See the world with other people's eyes different from your own, and keep yourself curious.
For example, if an apple hits a person's head, how will different parties react:
03, craftsman thinking
A craftsman's mind is like a craftsman's, thinking about how to make the details better, thus stimulating his curiosity for perfection.
In order to solve the problem of motion, Newton then established a mathematical theory directly related to physical concepts. This theory is the origin of calculus.
Therefore, to polish your curiosity, you can start with the details of the moment and make every moment the ultimate. For example, daily morning reading comprehension.
In order to write today's article, I specially read Newton's personal story. I found that he no longer simply hung the portraits of Gorky and Lu Xun at school on the wall, but matched them: If I look far, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants. Newton, a foreigner with thick long hair covered with seaweed,
But a great god, and I am willing to kneel for him.
Of course, this can't eliminate my resentment against him when I can't solve physics problems at school. And now I have to add that he is also the "culprit" who can't be solved in the calculus exam in mathematics. )
Therefore, the third step to become Newton: use fox hedgehog strategy, empathetic inquiry and craftsman thinking to enhance your cognitive curiosity.
There is only one Newton. I have to say that even if Newton lives again, he can't be Newton then, let alone us. However, from now on, like Newton, be curious and full of never-ending enthusiasm for the world. Maybe you will be the next "Marton" god.
