He established a laboratory in New Jersey, and invented the electric light, telegraph, phonograph, film machine, magnetic mineral analyzer, crusher and so on for more than 2000 kinds of things in his life.

Tao Yuanming of the Jin Dynasty also wrote a poem about cherishing time: "It is difficult to get up in the morning when you are in the prime of your life. It is necessary to encourage in time, and time waits for no one. " At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Zhenbai's poem "White Deer Cave" had a wonderful metaphor of "an inch of time and an inch of gold". The French writer Balzac compared time to capital.

From workers to scholars, Japan has a strong sense of time. Their basic criterion for assessing workers' incompetence is the amount of labor per unit time on the premise of ensuring quality, and the time is generally accurate to the second.

A famous example of cherishing time: diligent Shakespeare
He cherishes time very much and never gives up his spare time. As a teenager, he attended a local "literature school". After going to school for six years, he just managed to find time. He read thousands of literary books in the school library and recited a lot of wonderful dialogues in poetry scripts.
He was born in a rich family, his father is a mayor, and he likes to go to the theatre. He often invites some troupes to perform in the town. Every time, Shakespeare was fascinated. When there was no performance in town, he asked the children to imitate the characters and plots in the play. He also wrote, directed and acted some things that happened in the town, and showed extraordinary drama talent at an early age.
Later, his father went bankrupt because of investment failure, and 13-year-old Shakespeare embarked on the road of making a living alone. He was a soldier, an apprentice, a bricklayer, a coolie, an aristocratic housekeeper and a rural teacher. In his hurry to support his family, he made a careful observation of various characters and recorded their conversations with great personality, which accumulated material for his later creation. Shakespeare came to London at the age of 22. The strong pursuit of drama led him to find a job as a janitor in a theater. At first, he just showed horses and cars to the dignitaries in the theater. After that, he used the tips he earned to pay some children to help him finish his work, but he still took time out to go to the theater to watch the performance. Slowly, Shakespeare began to play a walk-on and a supporting role.
He is very happy about this, because it allows him to watch the actors' performances more closely on the stage. Later, Shakespeare became a "clue". Hiding in props, while doing his job well, he also took time to record his impression of each actor's performance. Just as Shakespeare became an official actor, the plague began to spread in Europe, thousands of people died and the theater was forced to close. The boss and the actors went out to avoid the plague, but Shakespeare chose to stay and guard the theater. During the two years of extreme economic depression, Shakespeare took time to read a lot of books, sorted out his notes in various periods, revised several plays, and began to write new plays. When Britain's economy recovered and performances flourished again, Shakespeare's plays became very popular and he became the most outstanding actor himself.
