One of the answers is this: "Because you won't have a chance to see those prodigies still outstanding when they grow up." This answer easily reminds me of such a person. His name is Yin.
1996, Yin 12 years old. He was admitted to the juvenile class of Chinese University of Science and Technology, which is more difficult than Tsinghua Peking University, with a score of 572, and became the youngest student in the whole school. It was then that he began to become what people call a "prodigy".
There was a lot of controversy about him at that time. Some people think that he is really a rare talent, and he is glad that so many people have come out of our country, while others are afraid to draw a conclusion for fear that things like "going to school" will happen again.
But time has given the answer. Yin is a genius. Use a popular online vocabulary called "Houlang".
Later, Yin completed all the courses of this master's degree in five years, and officially decided to go abroad for further study in 20001year. For a time, offer from Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Chicago and many other famous schools poured in. After careful consideration, Yin chose to study theoretical physics at Harvard University.
Harvard University cherishes talents very much. For such a genius in physics, it broke the 300-year-old practice that university doctors could not stay in school to continue postdoctoral research: Yin was allowed to continue studying for a postdoctoral degree at Harvard.
When I was a child, my mother was shocked by calculus.
When Yin was very young, she showed amazing talent and interest in reading.
Yin was born in an intellectual family, and his parents were both famous schools in high flyers. Because Yin is very young, his parents have high hopes for Yin and made a detailed development plan for Yin. Parents want Yin to develop in an all-round way, so they not only want him to learn cultural knowledge well, but also let him learn to play Go and draw. On weekends, they will take Yin for a walk in the park, get in touch with nature and cultivate sentiment.
While other children were still jumping outside in droves, Yin chose to stay alone in the room and spend an afternoon quietly with those books with ink fragrance.
This situation was aggravated when Yin was in the second grade of primary school. Yin's mother saw that her son was different from other children. After returning home, she always closes the door and stays in the room without making a sound.
Once, she couldn't help looking up and found her son, who was still in elementary school, reading with relish a book on college calculus in his hand. She was so startled that she couldn't believe her eyes. At first, she thought that her son didn't lay a good foundation and didn't believe that his son could read a university book, so she took the book away from him and let him lay a good foundation before reading it.
Later, Yin took advantage of her mother's business trip, took college calculus down from the high cabinet and read it with relish.
Yin is very talented in his studies, so he has been skipping classes. He wants to jump to grade three before he goes to grade two. When he asked to jump from grade two to grade three, Mr. Wan, who was in charge of grade three, disagreed, thinking that if Yin couldn't keep up with his homework in grade three, it would do great harm to his fragile mind.
But it turns out that she was wrong. Later, Yin's composition "My Umbrella Bamboo" won the first prize in the third grade group. This result convinced her that she had nothing to say.
Obsessed with learning, willing to study, not taking notes.
When Yin was nine and a half years old, she was admitted to the children's class of Beijing No.8 Middle School. All the students here can be regarded as super primary school tyrants, and Yin is among them, with the second lowest age.
After going to a new environment, Yin is still handy. Although I am very young, my grades are still the best in my class, especially in math and physics, and I rarely deduct a point.
The math teacher found that Yin never took notes. Even if it was a difficult problem, Yin never just looked at it and was indifferent. This story reached Yin's mother's ears. She asked Yin a little angrily, "Why don't you take notes?" Do you think you're fine? You don't have to listen? Yin replied helplessly: "I have it all in mind." . "So she said, while taking out paper and pen, draw the auxiliary line of that question to her mother.
So from then on, the math teacher acquiesced in Yin's behavior of not taking notes. Because after every math exam, I always sit firmly in the first position.
I'm afraid Xueba is still working hard and Yin is making progress.
1996, Yin, who just turned 12 years old, was admitted to the junior class of the Chinese University of Science and Technology with a score of 572, becoming the youngest student at that time.
Yin, who has become a college student, still hasn't relaxed his demands on himself. He asked himself to get up at six o'clock every morning and find a seat in class. While learning physics knowledge, he urged himself to learn mathematics knowledge, and he enjoyed it. Driven by his own efforts and talents, he completed all the courses of Ben Shuo Bo in only five years. And decided to go abroad for further study on 200 1. That year, he was still under eighteen.
Among many offer, he chose Harvard University with the best level of physics research at that time. At Harvard, he studied knowledge sleepless nights and developed a rigorous scientific research attitude, that is, he was not in the mood to sleep if there were any problems that were not solved.
In this way, when his doctoral study at Harvard was coming to an end, in order to keep him, Harvard University broke the 300-year-old practice: it is reasonable to say that doctors who graduated from Harvard can't stay for postdoctoral research after graduation, but Harvard University allows Yin to stay for postdoctoral research.
In this way, Yin wandered tirelessly in the physical world and was hired as a full professor by Harvard University on 20 15. Since then, the media likes to call him "the youngest professor at Harvard University".
Love to draw marathons, but Xueba doesn't "study hard"
Yin is still only thirty or forty years old. He has a successful career, a happy family, a wife who loves him very much and a lovely daughter, which makes many people envy him. In addition, he also participated in running marathons and often exercised outdoors to cultivate his sentiment.
Referring to his daughter, he said, "I don't specialize in raising my own children. I think many parents in China do not raise their children for their own good, but want to train them to be what they want. I just want my daughter to be happy and have no expectations for her. What I want to do is her own business. "
There is no doubt that Yin is an excellent person. He reached a height that many people can't reach all their lives, and he was inevitably killed by many media, and even compared with his children by some parents.
Is that good?
The world is made up of all kinds of people. Some people are gifted, some people inherit their parents' good faces, some people are naturally eloquent, some people have super perseverance, some people may be ordinary as ants, and some people don't have a happy family ... Whether excellent or humble, each of us is a unique existence in this world! No one in this world can live without it, just as Leslie Cheung sang in that song: "Everyone is the glory of the creator."
Summary:
Yin is an excellent person. We should see his talent and intelligence in him, but what we should see more is his efforts to reach higher heights! Then we are encouraged by this power and hope to be as diligent as Yin. I don't dream of reincarnation. I have talent like Yin.
This is the true meaning of life. Accept what cannot be changed and change what can be surpassed.
