A fire destroyed the laboratory. All the materials and samples of Edison's research on talking movies were burned to ashes. His wife was heartbroken and burst into tears: "What a teenager's heart was burned by a fire. Now you are old and weak, what can you do? " Edison is also very sad, but he will never be disappointed. When he invented the electric light, he experimented with more than 7,600 materials and failed more than 8,000 times. He was still not discouraged and finally succeeded. Now the fire can't bring him back. Edison said to his wife, "Never mind, although I am 67 years old, I am not old. From tomorrow morning, everything will start again. "
2. Resilience is a great achievement.
In 494 BC, the State of Yue defeated the State of Wu. Gou Jian, the King of Yue, had to use "careful words and gifts" to make peace with Wu, waiting for a comeback. Gou Jian first bribed the prince of Wu and his ministers with beautiful women, gold, silver and jewels, and also held his wife hostage to be a groom for the prince himself. Gou Jian also sent tea and rice to the king of Wu, and finally won the trust of the king of Wu and was released. After returning home from a narrow escape, Gou Jian tried his best to pay tribute to Wu while withdrawing troops and training. In the end, he led tens of thousands of elite soldiers, completely defeated the State of Wu, and realized his desire to wash away the humiliation and revitalize the country.
3. Overcome setbacks with optimism (Newton and others face setbacks)
At all times and all over the world, because of extremely strong and effective optimism, many people have overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles and won. When Newton invented the theory of gravity, people all over the world opposed him; When Harvey invented the theory of blood circulation, people all over the world opposed him. When Darwin announced the theory of evolution, people all over the world opposed him; When Dambert first made the telephone, people all over the world laughed at him. When Wrigt first made an airplane with coolies, people all over the world laughed at him. Speaking of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, when he gave a speech on saving the nation by revolution in Nanyang for the first time, only three people listened at a time. Many people are praised by the world for their optimism.
Extremely strong and effective optimism can make people overcome the confusion, blindness, ruthlessness, terror, resentment and resistance all over the world. Moreover, the greater the work, the more fierce the resistance, which has become a law. The most important weapon to deal with this fierce resistance is optimism. Without optimism, one is bound to be defeated in front of all kinds of demons.
4. Dare to deny innovation (Planck and Einstein)
1900, Professor Planck and his son were walking in their garden. He looked depressed and said to his son with regret, "I'm very sorry, son." I made a discovery today. " It is as important as Newton's discovery. "He put forward the hypothesis of quantum mechanics and Planck formula. His discovery of depression destroyed the perfect theory that Newton had always admired and sincerely believed in. He finally announced the cancellation of his hypothesis. Humans should have benefited from this, but they suffered unexpectedly, which made the theory of physics stagnate for decades.
25-year-old Einstein dared to break through the sacred circle, boldly broke through, appreciated Planck's hypothesis and extended it in depth, and put forward the theory of light quantum, which laid the foundation of quantum mechanics. Later, he destroyed Newton's absolute view of time and space, created the theory of relativity that shocked the world, became famous at one fell swoop, and became a greater cutting-edge
