A little story of the ancients who cherished time

Marx, the revolutionary teacher of the world proletariat, was racing against time to write Capital before his death.

Marie Curie in order not to delay the visit. There are no chairs in the reception room.

Marx worked hard for 40 years to write Capital and read an astonishing number of books, including more than 1,500 titles.

15 Sima Qian's "Records of the Historians" began to travel around at the age of 20, covering the Yellow River and the Yangtze River basins, bringing together a large number of social and historical materials, which laid the foundation for the creation of the "Records of the Historians".

The son said on the river: The deceased is like Sifu! Day and night.

Edison attended elementary school for only three months in his life, and his learning was acquired through his mother's teaching and self-study. His success should be attributed to his mother's understanding and patient teaching since childhood, so that Edison, who was originally considered an imbecile, grew up to become a world-famous "king of invention".

Edison was curious about many things from a young age, and he liked to experiment with them until he understood the truth. When he grew up, he devoted himself to research and invention according to his interests in this area. He established a laboratory in New Jersey and invented more than 2,000 things in his lifetime, including electric lights, telegraphs, phonographs, motion picture machines, magnetic ore separators, crushers, and so on.

Edison's strong spirit of research led him to make significant contributions to the improvement of human lifestyles.

One day, while working in a laboratory, Edison handed his assistant an empty glass bulb with no light on and said, "Measure the capacity of the bulb." He bowed his head and worked again.

After a long time, he asked, "How much capacity?" He didn't hear it, but turned his head to see the assistant measuring the circumference and slope of the bulb with a soft ruler, and took the measured number and lay it on the table to calculate.

He said, "Time, time, how can it take so much time?" Edison came to him, picked up the empty light bulb, filled it with water, handed it to his assistant, and said:

The water in it was poured into a measuring cup and immediately told me how much it was. ”

The assistant immediately read out the numbers.

Edison said, "What an easy way to measure, it's accurate, it's time-saving, how could you not think of it?" Wouldn't that be a waste of time? ”

The assistant's face flushed.

Edison muttered, "Life is too short, too short, save time and do more!" ”

Lu Xun squeezed time almost every day. He said: Time, like water in a sponge, as long as you squeeze it, there is always it.

Lu Xun has a wide range of interests in reading and writing, and he also has a deep love for folk art, especially legends and paintings; Because he has a wide range of knowledge and learning, time is very important to him. He had been sick all his life, and his working conditions and living conditions were not good, but he would not stop until late at night every day.

Lu Xun was late for school one day and was reprimanded by the teacher. So he used a knife to carve the word "morning" in the lower right corner of the desk to spur himself to cherish his time and read angrily.

The famous mathematician Chen Jingrun cherished the moment, and he once drew up a work schedule for himself to make full use of every minute and second of the 24-hour day. Even when he was walking on the road, he was reading and memorizing, and this is how he mastered the words in four foreign languages: English, Russian, French, and German.

There are many, many little stories like this.

The head hangs over the beam, the cone pierces the strands, the chiseled wall steals the light, and the moment is gold.
