Stephen Gray is a contemporary scientist, and his honest character and serious working attitude are widely respected by the industry. A reporter from a newspaper once interviewed him and asked him, "Why can you treat scientific research so objectively and rigorously and work harder than ordinary people?" ?
Stephen Gray's answer is unbelievable. He said it had something to do with a life experience when he was 2 years old. Will the life experience of 2 years old affect his life? However, this is really true!
When he was 2 years old, Stephen wanted to try to get a bottle of milk from the refrigerator by himself. His mother used to do it for him. This time, he wants to prove his ability. As a result, the bottle was slippery. He didn't take it. He accidentally dropped the bottle and spilled milk all over the floor. Stephen Gray thought: This is over, I will definitely be scolded by my mother.
To Stephen's surprise, when his mother went to the kitchen, she found milk all over the floor, but she didn't teach him or punish him. Little Steven listened to his mother's words and was completely relieved. She said, "Wow, you are really capable of breaking the bottle like this. Never seen such a big milk pit! Would you like to play in the milk for a few minutes before I clean it? "
This will make little Steven happy. He has never played with milk before! After a while, mother cleaned the floor and said to Stephen, "The experiment you did with the bottle failed. Let's see why you failed. After you fill the bottle with water, see if you can hold it with your hands. Think about it, how to take it will be more labor-saving? "
As a result, this experience of getting into trouble, instead of making Stephen timid, learned to treat his actions realistically and look for reasons and lessons from failure.
Stephen Gray recalled that since he was two years old, he was no longer afraid of mistakes, and he learned to be honest with his mistakes. Because mistakes are just opportunities to learn new things, so are scientific experiments. There is nothing to hide from the failure of the experiment. Even if the cause of the mistake lies in ourselves, we will still learn a lot of valuable things from failure.
Enlightened mother! A little thing makes a scientist with personality.
One of the reasons why many children become liars is that they are afraid that their parents will criticize or punish them. Therefore, whether children can honestly face their own mistakes and others is related to their parents' parenting attitude.
In life, there is not a parent who doesn't want his child to be an honest and reliable person. From now on, you should think about how to treat the mistakes made by children.
