A lot, celebrities are basically okay.
Lincoln (American**, 1809-1864) spoke or spoke on any occasion, but it was extremely brief and unpretentious. This often makes the orators who like to talk about him look down on him.
After the Battle of Getisburg, a grand funeral was decided to mourn the martyrs who died for their country in this battle.
The funeral committee invited the famous orator Everett to give a lecture in honor of the martyrs, and at the same time sent a general invitation to Lincoln. The funeral committee decided that he would not come, but unexpectedly, Lincoln promised to attend the funeral on time. At this point, they sent another letter to Lincoln, and just after Everett had come to speak, asking him to "say a few words that are appropriate."
When Lincoln received the letter, his brow furrowed, and he thought, "Isn't this deliberately insulting me?" Lincoln, however, accepted it calmly.
In order to express his deep remembrance of the martyrs and to pay tribute to those who were arrogant, Lincoln took matters into his own hands and carefully prepared the speech. In the two weeks leading up to the funeral, he was eating, dressing, and shaving his face thinking about how his speech would have a better effect. The draft of his speech was changed again and again, and he was always dissatisfied.
The night before the funeral, he was still working on his speech. In the middle of the night, he approached his colleague and read the speech aloud to his colleague for his opinion. When Lincoln rode into the venue, he was still on horseback with his head bowed, silently reciting his speech.
The solemn funeral began, and the audience was unusually silent. Mr. Everettlai triumphantly walked up to the podium and spoke for two or three hours. Toward the end of his speech, Lincoln quietly pulled out his old glasses and reviewed the speech in detail once more.
Lincoln began to speak. A photojournalist hurriedly erected a tripod to capture this meaningful shot. But by the time the photojournalist was ready, Lincoln's speech had ended, and the reporter was lamented.
Lincoln's speech lasted only two minutes, while the applause from the audience lasted ten minutes. Lincoln's speech was highly regarded. His speech, if translated into Chinese, would be only about 400 words.

Comrade-in-arms Xiao Han had several holes in his cotton pants burned by sulfuric acid water in the car at night, and after Lei Feng came back from duty and found it, he took off his hat and mended Xiao Han's pants one by one, and gently covered him. Qiao Anshan, who knew about this situation, said: "In order to mend your pants, Lei Feng didn't sleep for half the night!"
Every ordinary and helpful little thing has created our hero Comrade Lei Feng.

O Newton, why didn't he pick up the apple and eat it when he was in front of him, but wonder why it would have fallen! Once little Darwin and his mother went to the garden to lay soil for the little trees. Mom said:
Dirt is a treasure, and a small tree can only grow with soil. Don't underestimate this soil, it is it that grows grass and feeds cattle and sheep, so that we can have milk to drink and meat to eat; It is it that grows wheat and cotton, so that we can have food to eat and clothes to wear. Dirt is too precious.
Hearing these words, little Darwin asked suspiciously"Mom, can that dirt grow puppies? ""No, I can't!
Mom said with a smile"Puppies are born to their mothers, not grown out of the dirt. "Darwin asked again"I was born to my mother, and my mother was born to my grandmother, right?
And who gave birth to the first mother? "Darwin then asked. "It's God!
Mom said:"So who gave birth to God? "Little Darwin broke the casserole and asked to the end.
Mom couldn't answer. She said to Darwin:"Child, there are many things in the world that are mysteries to us, grow up like a little tree, these mysteries are waiting for you to solve!
When Darwin was seven or eight years old, he was not very popular with his classmates, because his classmates thought he was often"Lying".For example, when he picks up a strange-shaped stone, he will say to his classmates in a matter-of-fact manner"It's a gem that could be worth a fortune.
His classmates burst into laughter, but he didn't care, and continued to express similar alternative views on the things around him. On another occasion, he assured his classmates that he would be able to use one"Secret liquid"to make a variety of colors of primrose and primrose. However, he had never done such an experiment.
Over time, the teacher also felt that he loved him very much"Lying", reflecting his problems to Darwin's father. My father listened, but he didn't think that Darwin was lying, but that he was imagining. Once, Darwin picked up a coin in the mud, and he mysteriously showed it to his sister, and said in a serious manner
It is an ancient Roman coin. "My sister took it and found that it was a very ordinary 18th-century coin, but it looked a little old due to moisture and rust. To Darwin"Lying"My sister was very annoyed, so she told her father about it, hoping that her father would teach him a good lesson and let him get rid of the annoying things"Lying"Habit.
But when the father heard this, he did not care, and he called his children and said:"How can this be considered a lie? This shows that he has a rich imagination.
Maybe one day he will use this imagination for his career! "Darwin's father also gave Darwin and his brother a small shed in the garden, and let them freely experiment with chemistry in order to better develop the children's intelligence. When Darwin was 10 years old, his father sent him to the coast of Wales with his teacher and classmates for a three-week holiday.
Darwin was there to open his eyes to the observation and collection of a large number of marine animal specimens, which sparked his hobby and interest in collecting animal and plant specimens. Watt, curious about the boiling of water, invented the steam engine.
