Beethoven is a bridge between the classical music school and the Romantic school. He was born in poverty and suffered many misfortunes and pains, but his indomitable spirit, enterprising spirit and self-enrichment enabled him to thrive. He was forced to learn music from an early age. In his early years, he studied theoretical composition under Haydn and Abreu Zeke, which laid a solid foundation for his own composition techniques and eventually became a master.

Beethoven struggled with the fate of suffering all his life and never bowed his head. He deeply felt life and realized the meaning of life. Therefore, his works are filled with a lot of affection never imagined before, and full of confidence everywhere.

These works, like brilliant light, shine on the whole garden of life, showing great ambition and unrestrained enthusiasm, which is very admirable. We should learn from Beethoven's sentiment of being fearless and striving for progress.

2. Helen Keller

Helen Keller, a famous American writer and educator, was blind and deaf. When she was a child, she had scarlet fever, and her hearing and vision were taken away by a serious illness. Because of her deafness, she can't correct her pronunciation and speak vaguely. For a disabled person, the world is dark and silent. Without a strong memory, it is impossible to learn to read, write and speak.

However, Helen Keller did not give in to fate. In order to pronounce clearly, she tied a small rope to a metal bar, held it in her mouth, and tied the other end to her hand, practicing her hands and mouth, writing a word and reading it out. In order to make the written words not crooked, she also made a wooden frame and assembled a pulley to practice writing.

Of course, Miss Sullivan also made great contributions. She asked Helen to put her hand on her throat and let her feel the vibration of the sound to practice speaking. She insists on studying 10 hours every day. After a long period of hard study and indomitable confidence, she has mastered a lot of knowledge and can skillfully recite a lot of wonderful fragments of poems and famous works.

Later, a 200,000-word book can be read in nine hours. She can recite it and tell the general idea of each chapter and section. In two hours, she can write wonderful sentences, paragraphs, chapters and her own unique views on the article. Helen's memory has greatly exceeded the normal level of ordinary people.

It is said that after hearing Helen Keller's story, a doctoral student studying at Harvard University was unconvinced and decided to have a competition with her. Under the strict time regulation and the teacher's supervision, they had three rounds of competitions, and the doctoral students took it.

He took off the doctor's hat and put it on Helen's head respectfully. After studying, Helen broke through the barriers of literacy, language and writing, learned English, French, German, Latin and Greek, and published 14 book, which was praised and praised by all walks of life.

Mark Twain said: "/kloc-There were two great figures in the 9th century, one was Napoleon and the other was Helen Keller." From 65438 to 0959, the United Nations launched the "Helen Keller" campaign, calling on people all over the world to learn from her.

3. Hawking

Hawking got a strange disease during his school days, which is a motor neuron disease. This disease made Hawking, who was already inflexible, more clumsy and his condition deteriorated rapidly. Hawking was so sad that he thought he would not live long. However, Hawking did not give up the work, study and life of normal people. He got married at this time. Five years later, he became the father of three children.

Hawking, who is sick, remains the same and even more diligent. He once dreamed that he was executed, from which he hoped that "if I was pardoned, I could do many valuable things". He believes that "I will sacrifice my life to save others" and do some good deeds to repay the kindness of society to him. Hawking has made great achievements because of his hard work. He is famous in physics for his study of black holes.

A black hole is a very small and massive celestial body, that is, it has a high density. This celestial body is theoretically inferred. As early as 200 years ago, a French scientist put forward the problem of black holes. He believes that stars that meet certain conditions will absorb their own light under the action of gravity, making us look like a "dark mass".

However, this sci-fi prediction has not been taken seriously. When Einstein established general relativity, a German scientist re-predicted the existence of black holes with the help of general relativity. He believes that when the star burns out, under the action of gravity, the star will collapse endlessly and eventually form a black hole.
