Edison only attended elementary school for three months in his life. His knowledge was obtained through his mother's teaching and self-study. His success should be attributed to his mother's understanding and patient teachings from an early age. Edison, who was originally considered an imbecile, became a world-famous "invention king" when he grew up.

Edison has been curious about many things since he was a child, and he likes to experiment until he understands the truth. When he grew up, he devoted himself to research and invention based on his interests in this area. He established a laboratory in New Jersey and invented more than two thousand things in his lifetime, including the electric light, the telegraph, the phonograph, the movie player, the magnetic separator, the crusher, and so on. Edison's strong research spirit enabled him to make significant contributions to improving human life style.

"Waste, the greatest waste is time." Edison often said to his assistant. "Life is too short. You have to think of more ways to do more things with less time."

One day, Edison was working in the laboratory, and he handed his assistant an empty box without a lamp. Glass bulb, said: "You measure the capacity of the bulb." He lowered his head to work again.

After a long time, he asked: "What's the capacity?" He didn't hear the answer. He turned around and saw the assistant holding a soft ruler to measure the circumference and slope of the light bulb, and took the measured number. He leaned over the table and calculated. He said: "Time, time, why does it take so much time?" Edison came over, picked up the empty light bulb, filled it with water, handed it to the assistant, and said: "Pour the water inside into the measuring cup, immediately Tell me its capacity."

The assistant immediately read the number.

Edison said: "This is such an easy measurement method. It is accurate and saves time. How could you not think of it? If you still calculate it, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

The assistant blushed.

Edison murmured: "Life is too short, too short. Save time and do more things!"

Adapted from "The Encounter of the Genius Monkey"

There is a genius little monkey who is extraordinary

He disdains being associated with monkeys because he thinks it is a waste of time

Determined to develop in the human world, he resolutely leaves his home< /p>

The monkeys’ efforts to stay can’t change his wish

He seems to have seen a beautiful picture of rapid success

Time flies

I heard that the little monkey Ascend the throne and become king in the world

The monkeys are looking forward to the time when the new king goes on tour

They all climb up the mountain to watch

Pray and bless him together

Waiting with joy to see the Monkey King

Cockfighting and dogfighting took turns

When it was the little monkey's turn, he stopped and stood aside

"New King" "Ascension to the throne" is just a boring child's play

The little monkey is unwilling to be a clown that entertains people

The master whips the dog to scare the monkey but returns in vain

It is normal The little monkey simply lay down and quit

The owner became angry

The defeated rooster became a ghost downstream of the sword

Killing chickens to scare monkeys has always been effective

The little monkey had no choice but to carry the crown tremblingly...

The monkeys understood the truth and lamented again and again

"The new king ascends the throne" is just a strange performance of the circus

Dragon The robe is just to please the money in people's hands

The smart little monkey has become a funny clown

The glory of the past is gone forever

< p>People heard the lament of the little monkey left in the wind:

“The decisions of the past were simply ridiculous!”

If I had known this, I should have just accepted the situation

Leaving one's own suitable environment

No matter how good a genius is, he will just fall into disgrace

This is a classic fable about time. In this fable, there are only four people in the world -

Four 20-year-old youths went to the bank for loans. The bank promised to lend them each a huge sum of money on the condition that they must pay it back within 50 years. Principal and interest.

The first young man wanted to have fun for 25 years first and use the last 25 years of his life to work hard to repay it. As a result, he achieved nothing even when he was 70 years old, and he was still heavily in debt when he died. His name is "Lazy".

The second young man worked hard for the first 25 years. When he was 50, he paid off all his debts, but that day he collapsed from exhaustion and died soon after. Next to his photo was a small sign with his name "Fanatical" written on it.

The third young man paid off his debts at the age of 70, and then he passed away a few days later. His death notice read his name "Perseverance".

The fourth young man worked for 40 years and paid off all his debts when he was 60 years old. In the last ten years of his life, he became a traveler and visited most countries on the earth. When he died at the age of 70, he was smiling, and people still remember his name as "Calm".

The bank that loaned them money back then was called "Life Bank".
