The story of Newton s struggle for ideals, the example of Newton s diligence

Newton's outstanding achievements are largely due to his diligence. Newton cherished his time and never wasted a single one, believing that "time not spent on research is lost". He often worked through the night in the lab.

Newton's preoccupation with scientific research had reached the point of infatuation. It is said that once when Newton boiled eggs, he was working while reading a book, and he threw a pocket watch into the pot in the lake in a daze, and when the water boiled, he opened the lid and looked at it, only to realize that he had mistaken the hail cover for an egg. Newton's scientific achievements are unparalleled, but he himself humbly says:

If I see a little farther than Descartes, it's because I'm standing on the shoulders of giants. "I don't know what kind of person I am in the eyes of the world; But in my own opinion, I was like a child playing by the sea, rejoicing in the fact that from time to time I had picked up a smoother pebble and a more beautiful shell, and the sea of truth was not found in front of me.

There are many famous scientists in the world whose families are poor. They are not on the road to success, and they have all fought tenaciously against difficult circumstances. Newton's plight as a teenager is also very sympathetic.

Newton was born in England in the first two years of his life in the family of an ordinary peasant. Shortly before Newton was born, his father died. His mother remarried when he was two years old.

When Newton was fourteen years old, his stepfather died and his mother returned home, and Newton was forced to take a leave of absence from school to return home to help his mother farm her life. His mother wanted to train him to earn a living independently and asked him to buy and sell agricultural products. How reluctant a diligent and studious child is to leave his beloved school!

He cried sadly several times, but his mother never changed her mind, and finally had to go against her will to learn to run a business. Every morning, he and an old servant went to this big town more than ten miles away to do business. Newton was very fond of business, and left all affairs to his old servants, but he secretly went to a place to study.

As time passed, Newton became more and more disgusted with business, and all he loved was reading. Later, Newton simply did not go to the town to do business, and only told the old servant to go alone. Fearing that his family would find out, he went out with the old servant every day, stopped halfway through, and read under a fence.

Whenever the old servant returned in the afternoon, they went home together. In this way, day after day, the reading life under the fence is endless. One day, he was reading happily under the fence when he happened to be seen by his uncle who was passing by.

When the uncle saw this scene, he was very angry and scolded him loudly for not doing his job; Snatched Newton's book. When my uncle saw that he was reading a math book with all kinds of marks drawn on it, he was moved. The uncle hugged Newton and said excitedly

Child, just develop according to your aspirations, and your right path should be to study. When he returned home, his uncle tried his best to persuade Newton's mother to give up business and go to school. With the help of his uncle, Newton was able to return to school.

Read diligently.
