Helen? Keller grew up blind, deaf and dumb. She touched with her hands, tasted with her mouth and sniffed with her nose, and became familiar with the dark and silent world around her. It seems that the restrictions are too great, and she can't help it. How do you teach a deaf person? She can't talk. How do you know what she needs? She can't see or hear, but how on earth did she know where you were? Helen? Keller didn't give in to this cold life mentally. Unable to curse and complain, she had to shake her body violently to lose her temper with her parents and people around her, so as to show her disheartened mood. It seems that she is destined to spend her life in despair in an isolated and silent world.
However, an extraordinary young woman came into her life. This man can be regarded as a strongman in life. She's Annie? Sullivan. Helen? Keller's parents hired her to get rid of her daughter's loneliness and appease her anger, because all this has made them disheartened and depressed. Annie. Sullivan is fully aware of her difficulties and her task is almost hopeless, but she is determined to teach the child and let her communicate with the world she can't touch. This is a battle against the obvious impossible. Its frustration and disappointment can make the strongest person frustrated, but she silently endured it for months. She refused to fail. Suddenly one day, when too many disappointments were depressing and hope never seemed to come, Helen made a voice of understanding. All this is beyond people's expectation. After her first reaction, she opened like a bud.
Helen? Keller's potential was excavated by another belief in her heart and began to be developed. She made slow progress, suffered a lot, and sometimes stopped, but she continued to work hard and eventually became a respected writer and speaker, becoming a shining example of perseverance and courage in all countries of the world.
She can easily be comforted and "curse God to die", but she has different choices. She wants to overcome her shortcomings, but she doesn't give in to them.
Helen? Keller's story is legendary, it shakes people's hearts, and it contains the best character of human nature, the desire for life and the tenacity of vitality. Let's see what makes the impossible possible, what creates miracles, and what breeds greatness in the ordinary.

A little boy almost thinks that he is the most unfortunate child in the world. Because of polio, he became lame and his teeth were uneven. He seldom plays games or plays with his classmates. When the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always kept his head down and said nothing.
In an ordinary spring, the little boy's father asked his neighbor for some saplings. He wants to plant them in front of the house. He told his children to plant one each. Father told the children that whoever planted the best sapling would buy a favorite gift. The little boy also wants to get a gift from his father. However, when I saw my brother and sister skipping around watering the tree, I somehow had a cold idea: I hope the tree I planted will die soon. So after watering it once or twice, I never paid attention to it again.
A few days later, when the little boy went to see the tree he planted again, he was surprised to find that it not only did not wither, but also grew a few new leaves, which looked greener and more lively than the trees planted by his brothers and sisters. Father fulfilled his promise, bought a favorite gift for the little boy, and told him that judging from the trees he planted, he would be an excellent botanist when he grew up.
Since then, the little boy has gradually become optimistic.
One night, the little boy lay in bed and couldn't sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly remembered what the biology teacher once said: plants usually grow at night, so why not go and see the little tree he planted? When he came to the yard softly, he saw his father throwing something under the tree he planted with a spoon. Suddenly, he understood everything. It turns out that his father has been secretly fertilizing the young trees he planted! He went back to his room and let the tears flow freely. ......
Decades later, the lame boy did not become a botanist, but he became the president of the United States. His name is franklin roosevelt.
Love is the best nourishment in life, and a spoonful of water can also make the tree of life thrive. Maybe that tree is so ordinary and unremarkable; Perhaps the tree is so thin and even withered, but as long as it is watered with this nutrient, it can flourish and even grow into a towering tree.
No one has made such a great contribution to the progress of mankind except the great Newton and the great Einstein. Even Newton and Einstein used to draw wisdom and inspiration from him. He is "the ideal embodiment of the combination of theoretical genius and experimental genius", and he is Archimedes of Syracuse.
Archimedes' life
Archimedes (287-2 12 BC) was born in a small village near Syracuse, Greece. He was born into a noble family, and was related to King Hilong of Syracuse, and his family was very rich. Archimedes's father was an astronomer and mathematician, knowledgeable and humble. Influenced by his family, Archimedes became interested in mathematics, astronomy, especially ancient Greek geometry. When he was just eleven years old, with the help of his relationship with the royal family, he was sent to study in Alexandria, Egypt. Alexandria, located at the mouth of the Nile, was one of the centers of cultural trade at that time. There are magnificent museums, libraries and talented people here, which are praised as "the capital of wisdom" by the world. Archimedes studied and lived here for many years and had close contacts with many scholars. He absorbed the excellent cultural heritage of the East and ancient Greece and made great contributions to his later scientific career. In 2 12 BC, Roman troops invaded Syracuse, and Archimedes was killed by Roman soldiers at the age of 75. Archimedes' body is buried in Sicily, and the tombstone is engraved with a figure of a cylinder engraved with a ball to commemorate his outstanding contribution to geometry. Archimedes' achievements
Archimedes is undoubtedly the greatest mathematician and scientist produced by ancient Greek civilization. His outstanding contributions in many scientific fields earned him the high respect of his contemporaries.
Archimedes worked out the areas and volumes of parabolic bows, spirals and circles, as well as the volumes of complex geometric bodies such as ellipsoids and paraboloids. In the process of deriving these formulas, he skillfully used the "exhaustive method", which is what we call the method of gradually approaching the limit today, so he is recognized as the originator of calculus calculation. In this way, he also estimated that the value of ∏ was between and got the solution of cubic equation. Facing the tedious numerical representation in ancient Greece, Archimedes put forward an important method for calculating grades and used it to solve many mathematical problems. Archimedes made the most outstanding achievements in mechanics, mainly focusing on statics and hydrostatics. In the process of studying machinery, he discovered the lever principle and used this principle to design and manufacture many machines. He discovered the law of buoyancy in the process of studying floating bodies, which is also known as Archimedes principle.
Archimedes also made outstanding achievements in astronomy. He designed some balls and connected them with strings and sticks to imitate the movements of the sun, the moon and the stars, and made them rotate by water power. In this way, solar and lunar eclipses can be vividly displayed. Archimedes thought that the earth was spherical and revolved around the sun, which was earlier than Copernicus' Heliocentrism 1800 years. Limited by the conditions at that time, he did not make a thorough and systematic study on this issue. But it is remarkable to put forward such an opinion as early as the third century BC. Archimedes has many works. As a mathematician, he wrote many mathematical works, such as about spheres and cylinders, about cones and spheres, about parabola quadrature, about spirals and so on. As a mechanic, he wrote many mechanical works, such as On the Balance of Flat Plate, On Floating Body, On Lever, On Center of Gravity and so on. In the book On the Balance of Flat Plates, he systematically demonstrated the principle of leverage. When discussing floating bodies, he demonstrated the law of floating bodies.
Archimedes is not only brilliant in theory, but also an engineer with practical spirit. He designed and manufactured many institutions and machines in his life. In addition to the lever system, it is worth mentioning that there are weight lifting pulleys, irrigation machines, water pumps and military projectors. The water pump, known as Archimedes' water lifting screw, was invented to drain water from the cabin of a big ship. The water pump can be carried to a high place through the screw handle, which has been widely used in Egypt and is the predecessor of modern screw pump. "Give me a fulcrum, and I can move the earth."
Archimedes is not only a theorist, but also a practitioner. Throughout his life, he was keen on applying his scientific discoveries to practice, thus combining the two. In Egypt around 1500 BC, people used levers to lift heavy objects, but people didn't know why. Archimedes devoted himself to this phenomenon and discovered the lever principle.
King Hennon always doubted Archimedes' theory. He asked Archimedes to turn them into living examples to convince people. Archimedes said, "Give me a fulcrum and I can move the earth." The king said, "I'm afraid this can't be realized." You'd better help me tow that big boat on the coast. " This ship was built by King Henon for the king of Egypt. It is big and heavy, and has been stranded on the coast for many days because it can't move. Archimedes readily promised. Archimedes designed a complicated lever pulley system to be installed on the ship, and handed one end of the rope to King Henon. King Hennon gently pulled the rope, and a miracle appeared. The ship moved slowly and finally sank into the sea. The king was surprised and admired Archimedes very much. He sent someone to post a notice saying, "In the future, no matter what Archimedes says, you must believe him."
Mystery of golden crown
King Hennon asked the goldsmith to make a pure gold crown for him. After it was done, the king suspected that the craftsman had mixed silver into the crown, but the crown was as heavy as the pure gold given to the goldsmith at the beginning. Did the craftsman play tricks? The problem of trying to test the authenticity without destroying the crown not only stumped the king, but also made the ministers look at each other. Later, the king gave it to Archimedes. Archimedes thought hard about many methods, but all failed. One day, he went to the bathhouse to take a bath. Sitting in the bathtub, he saw the water overflowing and felt his body being gently pulled up. He suddenly realized that he jumped out of the bathtub and went straight to the palace without clothes on. He shouted "Eureka" and "Frica" all the way. It turns out that if the crown is put into water, the amount of water discharged is not equal to the same weight of gold, and it must be mixed with other metals. This is the famous law of buoyancy, that is, an object immersed in a liquid is subjected to upward buoyancy, and its size is equal to the weight of the liquid discharged by the object. Later, this law was named Archimedes principle.
Patriot Archimedes
In his later years, the Roman army invaded Syracuse, and Archimedes instructed his compatriots to make many weapons for attack and defense. When Marcelle Sai, the leader of the invading army, led a group of people to attack the city, he designed a trebuchet to beat the enemy out of the water. His crane with iron claws can lift the enemy ship, turn it upside down and throw it into the depths of the sea. Legend has it that he also led the people of Syracuse to make a huge concave mirror, which focused the sunlight on the approaching enemy ship and made it burn. Roman soldiers have been frightened by such frequent blows. They are afraid of everything. As soon as they saw the rope or wood thrown from the city, they exclaimed "Archimedes is coming" and then ran around. Roman troops were kept out of the city for three years. Finally, in 2 12 BC, the Romans took advantage of the slight relaxation of the ancient city of Syracuse to attack on a large scale and break into the city. At this time, Archimedes was studying a profound math problem. A Roman soldier broke into the house and trampled on his drawing with his foot. Archimedes argued with him angrily. The cruel soldier refused to listen, only to see a brilliant scientific superstar fall with a wave of his hand. Barene who overcame disability-insisted that Barene was disabled due to illness when she was a child, and her mother felt like a knife, but she still resisted grief. She thinks that what children need most now is encouragement and help, not mother's tears. Mother came to Barone's sickbed, took his hand and said, "Son, mother believes that you are an ambitious person. I hope you can bravely walk on the road of life with your own legs! Good Barene, can you promise your mother? " Mother's words hit Barene's heart like a hammer. He threw himself into his mother's arms and burst into tears. Since then, whenever my mother is free, she will practice walking and doing gymnastics for Barene, and she is often so tired that she sweats. Once my mother caught a bad cold. She felt that a mother should not only teach by example, but also set an example. Despite her high fever, she got out of bed as planned to help Barene practice walking. Soybean-like sweat dripped from her mother's face. She wiped with a dry towel, gritted her teeth, and helped Barene finish the exercise plan for the day. Physical exercise makes up for the inconvenience caused by disability to Barene. His mother's example deeply educated Barone, and he finally withstood the severe blow of fate. He studies hard and his academic performance has always been among the best in his class. Finally, he was admitted to the Medical College of Vienna University with excellent results. After graduating from college, Barene devoted all her energy to the research of otology. Finally, I finally got on the podium of the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. Joule's knowledge-studious, the famous British scientist Joule loved physics very much since he was a child. He often does some experiments about electricity and heat by himself. One holiday, Joule and his brother traveled to the suburbs. Joule, who is clever and studious, never forgets to do his physics experiments even when he is playing. He found a lame horse, led by his brother, and quietly hid behind him. He used a volt battery to electrify the horse, trying to see how the animals reacted after being stimulated by the current. As a result, the reaction he wanted to see appeared. The horse jumped wildly after being shocked and almost kicked its younger brother. Although the danger has appeared, it has not affected the mood of little Joule who loves to do experiments. He and giggle rowed to the lake surrounded by mountains, where Joule wanted to try the echo. They filled the musket with gunpowder and then pulled the trigger. Who knows "bang", a long flame spouted from the muzzle and burned Joule's eyebrows, almost scaring my brother into the lake. At this time, the sky was covered with thick clouds, lightning and thunder. Joule, who just wanted to go ashore to take shelter from the rain, found that it took a long time to hear the thunder after every lightning. What happened? Joule didn't take shelter from the rain, dragging his brother up a hill and carefully recording the time of lightning and thunder with his pocket watch. After school started, Joule almost wanted to tell the teacher all the experiments he had done and ask for advice from the teacher. The teacher smiled at Joule, who was eager to learn and curious, and patiently explained to him: "The speed and harmony of light are different. The speed of light is fast and the speed of sound is slow, so people always want to see lightning before hearing thunder, but in fact lightning and thunder happen at the same time. " Joule suddenly realized. Since then, he has been more fascinated by learning scientific knowledge. Through continuous study and careful observation and calculation, he finally discovered the mechanical equivalence of heat and the law of conservation of energy, and became an excellent scientist. Edison, a telegraph fan and a newspaper fan, insisted that Edison was a world-famous inventor. He invented 1000 items, such as electric lights, phonographs and film machines. However, when Edison was a child, he only went to school for a few years because his family was poor. At the age of twelve, he went to the train to sell newspapers. If he can't go to school, he will teach himself. He loves learning very much. He sells newspapers while reading them, taking time to study and do experiments. Edison's father is strict with his family at ordinary times. He stipulates that the whole family must turn off the lights and sleep before 1 1 half past one every night. However, when Edison came home from selling newspapers, it was often eleven o'clock in the evening, and when he got home, he had no time to do his favorite experiments. How does he work? This is unbearable for Edison who likes to learn and explore by himself. So he thought about it and finally came up with a good way to get his father to support himself in the experiment. One day, Edison put a wire on the tree with a copper wire, which was directly connected to his good friend's house, leaving the newspaper and a telegraph machine left at his friend's house. When he comes home at night, his father wants to read the newspaper. Edison said today's newspaper was sold out. At first, his father was not very sorry. In order to arouse his father's interest, Edison began to talk about how fresh and interesting the contents of today's newspaper are. It is a pity that he didn't read it. Edison's father listened to him so vividly that he wanted to see it. So he asked Edison if he could find another one. Edison said that his friend Gary had another copy, and he could send out the contents of the newspaper by telegram. At this time, Edison's father was addicted to reading newspapers, so he promised him happily. Edison's father was very happy to see that his son's homemade telegraph really worked. I thought, this child is not simple! Since then, he has never stopped Edison's telegraph experiment at night. Later, Edison worked hard and finally became a great scientist in the world.
The story of Lu Xun's passion for reading When Lu Xun was young, his family conditions were very bad. In order to study, he took 8 yuan and went on his way. This 8 yuan, or mother managed to get it for him. In Nanjing, he entered Jiangnan Naval Academy, which is a free school. However, Lu Xun soon found that the school spirit here was not very good, so he transferred to another mine road school in the middle school attached to the local division. Mine Road School is a new school, which is not only free, but also has a large student allowance, allowing Lu Xun to buy more books and stationery. Lu Xun likes reading. At that time, it was the introduction of western culture, and excellent western works came out almost every month. In order to buy these books, Lu Xun scrimped and saved and went hungry from time to time. He still wears thin clothes in the cold winter. Lu Xun is the youngest in the class, but he gets the best grades. He has a strong understanding and memory, and he usually studies hard, so he almost won the first prize. Mine Road School has a perfect reward and punishment system, and every time you get excellent results in the quiz, you will be given a third-class merit medal. Several third-class medals can be exchanged for a second-class medal; Those who have accumulated more than two medals will be awarded a first-class medal. The first prize is gold, which is very valuable. Lu Xun is the only person who has won a gold medal in his class. He sold his medal and got many excellent books. Some students feel that they can't understand that the gold medal is an infinite glory among students. In Lu Xun's view, books are more useful than medals, and he doesn't need anything to satisfy his vanity. Lu Xun kept this humble character all his life. Lu Xun wrote many excellent works in his life. His works are often profound in content and cold and concise in brushwork, which are deeply loved by ordinary people. Some people say that this achievement comes from Lu Xun's genius, while others praise Lu Xun as a genius writer in person. Lu Xun said with emotion, "Where is the genius?" I spend all other people's coffee time at work. "Geniuses in the world are all bought with labor-Tong Dizhou reading story biologist Tong Dizhou was born in a small mountain village in Yinxian County, Zhejiang Province. His family is so poor that he can't afford to go to school. He can only read ancient books with his father and help his family at the same time. At the age of seventeen, Tong Dizhou wanted to apply for Ningbo Xiaoshi Middle School. This middle school is a famous school in Zhejiang province, with a particularly high entrance score. Only junior three students were enrolled during the year. His family advised him not to be whimsical. However, Tong Dizhou confidently replied: "I will fight for a summer vacation! "The result of the exam, Tong Dizhou really admitted. He became the first transfer student in the history of primary school who passed the third grade without going to middle school. However, many people are still wondering whether this wretched mountain village can keep up with the work. In the first semester, his overall average score was only 45, and his English test was even worse. The school mobilized him to drop out of school or be demoted. With tears in his eyes, he repeatedly asked the headmaster to take his class to try another semester. After the school reluctantly agreed, he overcame his learning difficulties with amazing perseverance. Before dawn in the morning, he got up quietly and read a foreign language under the street lamp; In the evening, when all his classmates are asleep, he still stands under the street lamp and teaches himself lessons. The proctor found out, turned off the street lamp and forced him into the house. He took advantage of the invigilator's inattention to study under the lamp outside the toilet, which touched the invigilator. In this way, he finally caught up in the second semester, with an average of 70 points, geometry 100 points. Until his later years, Tong Dizhou still remembered it vividly. He said, "This shows me that I am not more stupid than others. What others can do, I can do it through hard work. Genius in the world is bought with labor. "
