Yuan Longping almost missed the father of rice hybrid twice. Once, because I was pushed into the water by my naughty brother, I decided to learn to swim, and my grades were quite good. I almost entered the national team because I ate too many local dishes the night before, and my abdominal pain was unbearable during the 100 meter race the next day, which led to the fourth place and the top three places all entered the national team. In fact, judging from his performance, he has broken the world record in the first 50 meters, but he began to have abdominal pain in the last 50 meters, which affected his performance.
The second time, he was admitted to the pilot. The country suddenly has a policy, and there are few college students. It is better to let people with high school education or below go. So in the end, he was assigned to a school related to agriculture as a teacher.
When he was studying, his grades were average, most of them were just qualified, except for English, where he could get more than 90. That's because his mother has a good family and was influenced by his English environment since childhood. His classmates gave him an evaluation of being free and loose. Yuan Longping is a romantic. When he got his salary of more than 40 yuan in the first month, he immediately bought a violin with more than 10 yuan. After work, he likes swimming and playing the violin.
When he was assigned to a very remote agricultural school, Yuan Longping devoted himself to studying how to produce high-yield rice. From grafting technology to genetics, he succeeded in hybrid rice research because he was far from the center of the circle and was not influenced by mainstream schools. At that time, he thought hybrid rice was unrealistic.
Yuan Longping's investment in hybrid rice research is very admirable. Once, persecuted, he threw all the rice he had learned into the well. He jumped in without hesitation and finally had to drain the well. He also found five live rice plants. The success of hybrid rice has paid a lot of people and efforts. Thousands of experiments, Yuan Longping fumbled again and again. Looking for hybrid seeds in the field day and night, holding a magnifying glass and flashlight. Start his peers, or if possible, do experiments with them together. He never kept the experimental results in his heart, but he made progress in his research and published articles to communicate with his peers.
Yuan Longping is a very simple person. It is also interesting for him to marry his lover. His wife was playing basketball on the wedding day. Yuan Longping ran over and pulled her off the field and said, Let's get married. His lover is a colleague, as plain as he is, so he went and didn't buy any wedding gifts. She said no, so Yuan Longping didn't buy it.
Yuan Longping became such a great man not because of his high IQ, but because of his good academic performance. He devoted himself to his career and was never disturbed by the outside world. In his world, there is only one thing, doing everything possible to study high-yield rice. He can suddenly get out of bed in the middle of the night and write his most important research paper. Because he spent 24 hours studying rice. Others spent 30 years researching. He took rice seeds to Sanya, where they can be ripened three times a year, so he studied for 90 years.
In fact, successful people focus on one thing all their lives, which reminds me of kazuo inamori, who is as dedicated as Yuan Longping. They are all the same people, who only do one thing and have no determination.
