The inspirational story of blind people's success: the amazing achievement of blind mathematician Euler is not accidental. He can work in any harsh environment, often holding his children on his knees to finish his papers, regardless of the noise of older children. At the age of 28, Euler was unfortunately blind in one eye. Thirty years later, his other eye was also blind. He never stopped studying mathematics after he became blind. He continued to work with amazing perseverance and perseverance. During the seventeen years from blindness to his death, he also wrote several books and published about 400 papers orally. It is very difficult to publish the complete works of Euler because there are many works. The Swiss Society of Natural Sciences began to sort out and publish them in 1909, and it has not been completed until now. The plan is 72 volumes.
Among his 886 works, 530 are books and papers published before his death, many of which are textbooks. His works are fluent, simple, easy to understand and fascinating after reading, which greatly amazed readers. It is particularly worth mentioning that the textbook of plane triangle written by him uses symbols such as sinx and cosx, which are still used today.
Euler entered university of basel in the autumn of 1720. Because of his extraordinary diligence and intelligence, he was praised by John? Bernoulli's taste, give special guidance. Nicholas, the two sons of Euler and John? Bob tried to stay with Daniel? Bernoulli also became a close friend.
Euler wrote a paper on masts at the age of 19, and won an award from the Paris Academy of Sciences, from which he began his creative career. I won many awards in succession. 1725, the Daniel brothers went to Russia and recommended Euler to czar Cadling I, so Euler arrived in Petersburg on 17 in May, and Daniel returned to Basel on 1733. Euler succeeded him as a professor of mathematics at the Academy of Sciences in Petersburg at the age of 26.
1735, Euler solved a difficult problem in astronomy (calculating the orbit of a comet).
It took several famous mathematicians months to solve this problem, but Euler invented it in three days. But overwork made him suffer from eye diseases, and unfortunately he was blind in his right eye. At this time, he was only 28 years old.
An inspirational story of success in blindness: she is an unfortunate child. 19 years old, just as she stepped into the peak of her life and ballet career, she accidentally found her eyes blurred and was later diagnosed with retinal detachment.
Through the persuasion of her family, she accepted the operation, but the result still failed to restore her normal vision. The doctor suggested staying in bed for a year, telling you not to practice lifting your legs and toes and not to turn your head. At the same time, you need to control your facial expressions to achieve the effect of nursed back to health.
She is in a hurry, and all ballet dancers know that if she doesn't practice ballet for one day, she will know in two days, and her peers will know in three days. The audience will understand that a year without practicing ballet is a dead end for her.
She begged so hard that her husband had to quit his job to stay with her. She puts her husband's fingers on her arms instead of her toes and performs classical ballet every day. Day after day, month after month, although she didn't dance, the feeling in her heart really existed.
A year later, she re-entered the stage and suddenly found her long-lost self. Holding a scarf, she danced and appeared in classic ballets such as Giselle, Swan Lake, Nutcracker, Pirate and Carmen. She won flowers and applause with her exquisite dancing skills and was deeply loved by people.
The performance career is booming, but the eyesight is getting weaker. Soon, her vision was blurred in only one eye, and her husband advised her to give up ballet, but stubbornly she chose duet, because the general rule is that the actor guides the actress in duet. On the stage, her partners are all positioned accurately. If they throw from a distance, the distance between them will be fixed. The special colored lights on the stage guide her graceful dance steps, and the audience under the stage will not notice her on the stage at all.
Many things happen. She burned for half a century with her persistence and passion. The Cuban National Ballet she worked hard to build has become one of the top ten ballets in the world. She is the famous Alonso. On July 9th, 20 10, this famous classical ballet dancer won the Pablo Art Award in Spain.
When the media exposed the fact that she was blind, she once again became a miracle in people's minds. Many reporters asked curiously, "Why can she achieve such good results even if she is blind?" Elegant and solemn, she always smiles faintly: "Don't make any excuses for yourself, okay? Excuse me? Dancing on my feet, all the way to today ... "
Yes, don't give yourself any excuses! If a person can uphold this belief, he can cut off the back road, constantly surpass himself and reap his own success.
Li Yanyan, 37, from Chizhou, Anhui Province, is the first blind person in China to study abroad. During the period of 12, he went to Japan alone to study aesthetics, overcoming unimaginable difficulties and obstacles, and became the first doctor of medicine for the blind in China and even in Asia.
Mother's tears fell on the back of his hand.
Life in Li Yanyan is very difficult. Her father is a teacher in a college of China People's Liberation Army. During this period, Li Yanyan died in Chizhou in the line of duty. That year, Li Yanyan was only 7 years old, and her brother Li Jingjing was 17 years old. Grandma and mom are very helpless, and the whole family is struggling to live on the monthly subsidy from 45 yuan. Li Yanyan, who is sensible, got excellent grades from childhood. She lived up to expectations at 1982 and was admitted to the air conditioning department of the Department of Environmental Engineering of Hunan University. After entering school, she worked harder and stayed in school every winter and summer vacation to continue her studies.
/kloc-in the autumn of 0/985, Yan Yan felt that her vision was extremely blurred and she gradually could not see clearly. The hospital diagnosed glaucoma as optic atrophy, leading to blindness! Holding the diagnosis, Yan Yan's hands trembled, crying and slapping the cold wall, and collapsed to the ground.
Li's mother, Gong Guilan, learned of the incident and rushed to Changsha overnight to go through the formalities of dropping out of school for her son. After that, she borrowed money everywhere and took her son to Guangzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing and other big hospitals for treatment, but she was unable to return to heaven.
Yan Yan is completely desperate. After returning home, she hid in a dark room all day, closed the window and saw no one.
The mother wiped away her tears and comforted her son again and again: Son, have you heard the story of the blind man and the lamp? In the dark, the blind man hobbled with the light on, and passers-by asked him, you can't see anything. Why do you light lanterns? The blind man said, if you can see the lantern, you will make way for me. Children, from ancient times to the present, many people have achieved great things. As long as they light up their hearts and create light, they can still find a way out! ?
At that moment, Yan Yan felt the warm tears of her mother on the back of her hand. His nose hurts, and he is determined to face his fate and start a new life.
In order to save money, Yan Yan teaches herself Braille by listening to the radio every day. 1989 In the summer, he heard that an American school for the blind was going to open a branch in China, and he immediately signed up for free correspondence English. During that time, he sat on the ground and bent down to practice Braille every day. Although his back ached, he felt the joy of learning. After completing all the courses in the American School for the Blind, Yan Yan borrowed hundreds of books from China, the United States, Britain, France, Japan and other countries, which broadened her horizons.
He often encourages himself that blind people should not only learn a survival skill, but also have the courage to conquer institutions of higher learning like normal people!
1In September, 1993, Yan Yan learned from a Braille magazine that the World Charity Organization was willing to help foreign blind people learn acupuncture and shiatsu in Tokyo for free. Yan Yan immediately sent a letter. In June of the same year, the head of the Association made a special trip to Shanghai and gave Li Yanyan a comprehensive and strict inspection. 1994 1 month, the Tokyo association sent an international express delivery with the admission notice, air ticket and full scholarship certificate.
This explosive news quickly spread through the streets of Chizhou City. Although the 70-year-old mother is worried about her son going abroad to live alone, Yan Yan is extremely excited. He vowed to learn something and then go back to China to start a business!
The first blind doctoral student in a world famous school.
Tokyo Bagong School for the Blind is a full-time school with a duration of three years. When she first came, Li Yanyan's Japanese listening and speaking ability was too poor, and she had just passed the preliminary examination. The teacher suggested that he study for one year before majoring in Japanese. Yan Yan insists on following the class: time is the most precious, I will try my best! ? He studies late into the night every day without interruption. In less than a year, he won the first place in every exam and won a laptop.
Three years later, Yan Yan successfully passed the three national license examinations of acupuncture, massage and shiatsu with excellent results. These three certificates are the dreams of many disabled people in Japan? Golden rice bowl? The geese who have passed the age of 30 can live a carefree life regardless of difficulties.
But Yan Yan did not forget her original intention. He is eager to receive a higher education and realize his college dream! Finally, he decided to go to the United States for further study and study chiropractic therapy based on western medicine theory!
1June, 999, Li Yanyan crossed the ocean again with his driver's license and tens of thousands of dollars of work savings, and came to Silicon Valley, California alone. After all kinds of ups and downs, after four exams, he passed the TOEFL test and attended two public universities in the United States at his own expense. Blonde and blue-eyed students were surprised: How easy is it for a blind person to adapt to the fast-paced study life? Can he hold on?
In order to save money and time, Li Yanyan did not choose language preparation, and directly entered the English science and engineering course. Although he has a basic knowledge of English, he becomes confused as soon as he attends class. Students listen from all directions, Yan Yan can't see or remember, so she can only take out a tape recorder and record all the teachers' teaching languages, and transcribe them into English Braille at night and input them into a computer for self-study.
An American teacher was moved by his fighting spirit and personally applied for a computer to do simulated chemical experiments for him. In this way, he completed all the credits in three years. In July 2002, he was admitted to the internationally renowned chiropractic major of Palmer Orthopedic University in California, becoming the first blind doctoral student in this world-renowned university!
I want to prove to the world that I can
Li Yanyan is good at studying, but this time she met more difficulties. For four years of professional courses, the catalogue of textbooks and reference books he must read is more than 40 pages long, and each page is an extremely steep step!
In order to save money, Yan Yan rented a place in California? The most dangerous slum? . At 6 o'clock every morning, he set out from the rented place with his schoolbag on his back and crutches, boarded the light rail tram and arrived at school an hour later. One day, because the snowy road was slippery, he fell several times on the road and was late. When he got to school, he couldn't recognize the direction of the classroom. He knocked on his crutch and walked into a classroom. He timidly asked:
? Excuse me, is this the E20 1 classroom?
? This is the chemistry classroom! ? Someone answered in English, and then Yan Yan heard a burst of laughter. Yes, who has seen blind people learn chemistry? The fact is that the most powerful weapon against contempt! Li Yanyan has only been in school for five months, and actually got 93 points in the chemistry exam, which makes people sit up and take notice.
Every night from 20: 00 to the next morning 1: 00, did Yan Yan learn? Prime time? . On his desk, there is an English Braille computer and a Japanese Braille computer, on which he reads, does his homework and sends emails. In order to catch up with his homework, he insists on sleeping for four hours with his clothes on every night.
Later, Yan Yan said: My road to study is actually a long March that challenges endurance and hardship. I am a disabled person in China, and I want to prove to the world that I can, and there is no unconquerable suffering! ?
Repay the motherland with first-class results
June 5438+October 2006 10, Li Yanyan took the graduation examination of the school as scheduled, becoming the first candidate to obtain the professional license of English Braille chiropractic. The school set up a classroom for him, with one examinee and four invigilators. After a whole day's examination, when Yan Yan announced that she had finished her answer, the examiners looked at each other and were dumbfounded. Absolutely, Li Yanyan passed all A's at once!
? China Li Yanyan, very good! Very good! ? The examiners gave the excellent young man from China a warm hug with their thumbs up.
On June 8, 2006, 165438+ held a grand doctoral graduation ceremony at Palmer Orthopedic University in the spacious and bright Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley, California, USA. 10 o'clock sharp, Dr. Martin, the principal, solemnly invited Li Yanyan, who was wearing a doctor's uniform and sunglasses, to take to the podium:
? Distinguished guests, please allow me to introduce a unique postgraduate doctor who has been blind for more than 20 years and studied 12 years. He is Li Yanyan, a blind young man from Chizhou, China. From him, I think teachers and students as well as I have learned a lot from books, that is, once a person's potential is fully exerted, miracles will be born. We have to admit that Li Yanyan's doctoral certificate has the highest gold content among all students today, and his passionate heart and extraordinary achievements will be recorded in our hearts and school history forever! ?
Li Yanyan wearing sunglasses left 12 amid applause and cheers, thinking of her white-haired old mother and her motherland. Her heart surged and tears welled up.
Li Yanyan told reporters passionately that after returning to China, she had a whole set of career plans: combining the medical experience learned in Japan and the United States with the science of traditional Chinese medicine, and creating new treatment methods to benefit more patients with spinal nerves.
Swan is ambitious, and we expect the returning geese to fly higher and farther!
