When Einstein was young, the teacher gave them manual homework, told them to go home and make a small bench, and gave it to the teacher the next day. The next day, the students scrambled to teach their own works, but Einstein gave the teacher a small bench, a thick leg and a nail.

At that time, the teacher was very dissatisfied and said to his classmates with a bench, "Who have you ever seen such a bad bench?" At that time, the whole class laughed and shook their heads. At this time, the teacher said angrily to Einstein, "I don't think there will be a worse stool in the world."

At this time, Einstein went to the teacher with a red face and said firmly, "Yes, sir, there are worse stools." So the whole class stopped laughing and looked at Einstein doubtfully.

Einstein walked back to his seat and took out two rough wooden stools from under the desk. He said: "This is the first time I have done it, the second time I have done it, and the third one I just handed in is not satisfactory, but it is much better than these two."

Seeing this, the angry teacher no longer angrily accused Einstein, and the whole class never laughed at Einstein again.

The story of Einstein and three rough benches reflects Einstein's perfect style of doing things.

Storytellers should call on us to learn from Einstein, stick to it even if the bench is not well done, and apply this spirit to our study.

Personality assessment

Einstein is often called a lonely man. In this sense, I think he is really a lonely person. His philosophy can be regarded as a kind of transcendental materialism, reaching the forefront of metaphysics, where the entanglement with the self-world can be completely cut off. For me, science and art are both manifestations of our nature, which are higher than our biological needs and have ultimate value. (Tagore evaluation)

Einstein's theory was initially opposed by many people, and even some famous physicists at that time expressed doubts about this young man's paper. However, with the development of science, a large number of scientific experiments have proved that Einstein's theory is correct. Einstein has become a world-famous scientist and the greatest scientist in the world in the 20th century. (Xinhuanet evaluation)

Einstein is great, on the one hand, because he knows some mathematics and has the ability to appreciate the wonderful things in mathematics intuitively; On the other hand, he also has his own understanding of the phenomena in physics. What makes him different is that he can see both closely and far. It's like there are both close-up and distant views in the movie; It would be great to be able to switch freely from near to far. Most people only have one lens, or they can only watch it at close range, or they can only watch it at a distance, and they will not switch freely. (Comment by Yang Zhenning)?

Einstein laid a theoretical foundation for the development of nuclear energy and initiated a new era of modern science and technology, and was recognized as the greatest physicist after Galileo and Newton. 199965438+On February 26th, Einstein was selected as "the great man of the century" by American Time magazine.
