Telegraph, telephone, electric light, it seems that these things are generally technologically advanced and commonplace today, and no one will be surprised. But you know all this is necessary. What should I do when I am ecstatic? So remember their human inventor-Edison.
Known as Edison's "King's Invention", he is a famous American scientist and inventor. He only registered 1328 inventions in the patent office in his life. How can a person have so many inventions within three months of studying? I think if you have heard the story of Edison incubating chickens, you will understand that his success stems from curiosity.
1847, Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, and his family was an American businessman. Edison showed a strong curiosity when he was very young. As long as he doesn't understand anything, he grabs the clothes and stops the adults to ask an ugly question.
One day, he pointed to the brooding hen and asked his mother, "It's made of eggs sitting under its ass." Mom said, "Oh, it's a chicken!" " This afternoon, Edison suddenly disappeared, and his anxious family finally found his henhouse. It turned out that he was squatting in a chicken coop, and many eggs hatched chicks with their bottoms down! His parents laughed and cried after reading it, so they had to pull him out and dress him. Another time, he saw birds flying freely in the sky and thought, since birds can fly, why not? So, he got a kind of buddy who eats powder, in order to let this buddy fly into the blue sky. Therefore, the child almost died and Edison Chen was beaten by his father.
Finally, Eddie grew up to 8 years old, and his parents sent him to the primary school in the village, that is, the copywriter, because then he could go to school safely. Who knows, he still loves to ask questions, and he is often dumbfounded and embarrassed by the teacher. Once in an arithmetic class, the teacher wrote "2 +2 = 4" on the blackboard. Edison immediately stood up and asked, "Teacher, why is 2 plus 2 equal to 4?" The teacher asked this question and came to the scene. He thinks Edison is a troublemaker, a professional teacher and odds. Then, after three months of teaching, teacher Edison Chen was driven home.
Edison's mother is a great mother. She didn't blame her only son for being driven back. Instead, he decided to educate his children. When she discovered Edison's curiosity about physics, especially when he bought books about physics and chemical experiments, she became interested in chemical reactions. According to this book, Edison started the experiment alone. It can be said that this is a scientific invention of basic education in Edison Chen.
When he grew up, Edison learned radio transceiver technology. He spent a happy night at Stratford Railway Station. As a rule, no matter what the night shift operator is, by 9 pm, the hourly time signal must be sent to the operation supervisor. In order to have a good night's sleep, Edison Chen can study and invent a design of automatic time keying signal for telegraph. This is the prototype of the telegram.
Soon, he improved the telegraph, and after many experiments, a new type of transmitter was successfully trial-produced. Edison invented the machine. Looks like a happy smile.
It should be said that every invention of Edison is closely related to his curiosity. Later, he invented the telegraph and the telephone began to experiment. He carefully observed the sound and found that the messenger is a diaphragm that can cause vibration, and made a detailed record in his notebook. So, the "talking machine" did it. When people heard the news, they all came to watch it and said that he was "the greatest inventor", so curiosity is a prerequisite for a person to succeed and show wisdom.
Not only famous scientists need curiosity, but we ordinary people also need curiosity to learn and succeed. In July, 199 1, Guangming Daily, the national youth science and technology owned games. Among the award-winning technological inventions, 1 18 middle school students conducted a questionnaire survey in the column of "your main psychological characteristics", and 92% of the students wrote an article about the "strange heart" of He Ji, a teenager in Lingling Road, Hunan Province. Most of the population is still small-headed mothers, first in first out. In order to find out this problem, he will immediately quietly observe the hen house squatting next to him, rush home from school, and sometimes even forget to eat dinner. After more than two months, He Ji finally found that the egg was the first to produce a large number of mothers. To this end, he wrote a paper praised by many biologists. He found that birds are actually a new discovery, which was not recorded in the previous literature.
People need curiosity, but curiosity does not mean that there will be teaching. Success requires a lot of effort. Curiosity is like a seed. Without towering trees and curiosity, it is impossible to invent anything. The seeds of the future are scattered in the black soil. After being watered and cultivated, the seedlings will gradually emerge and grow into leaders. With curiosity, sweat and hard work, they should be able to make you useful. Dr. Li Zhengdao, a famous contemporary physicist, said: "Curiosity is very important, and science cannot be separated from curiosity. Very simple, just curious, ask questions and solve problems. The terrible thing is not asking questions, not the first step. " Because curiosity is so important, many people regard it as the curiosity of the first virtue champion. Curiosity is the most precious thing for an ambitious talent and a teenager who is eager to succeed.
Edison is a world-famous inventor. He is an American child. Because his family is poor, he only went to school for three months. 1 1 years old began to sell newspapers. He loves science and often saves money to buy popular science books and chemicals. He made experimental equipment and picked up some bottles from the trash can.
Edison Chen 12 years old, selling newspapers on the train. There is a carriage on the train specially for smoking passengers, and the conductor agrees that he occupies a corner there. He moved chemicals and glass bottles there, sold a newspaper, and you did all kinds of interesting experiments.
Once, when the train started, it suddenly shook and knocked down a bottle of white phosphorus. Phosphorus burns as soon as it meets air. Many people came to put out the fire with Edison. The conductor was very angry. Edison threw away the whole experiment and slapped him so hard that he was deaf.
Edison's determination and scientific research never wavered. He scrimped and saved, and resumed his chemical experiment.
On one occasion, sulfuric acid burned his clothes; Another time, he missed the nitrate, and he was blind.
Undaunted by the danger, he still stubbornly did the experiment.
Edison did an electrical experiment in order to find a cheap and long-lived filament. I don't know how many experiments have been done. He often stays in the laboratory for dozens of hours. He was so tired that he lay on the bench and slept for a while. He finally found a suitable filament and made unremitting efforts to invent the electric light. Later, Edison invented the film, which is his phonograph ... Life invented 1000.
Edison devoted his whole life to all great undertakings. ; I never thought too much about clothes.
One day, when he didn't know about poor children, he met a friend in the street of new york.
"Look, your coat is so broken. You should buy yourself a new coat! " His friend said.
"Young? Nobody knows me in new york. " Edison replied that he was not guilty.
A few years later, he became a great inventor Thomas Edison. Once, he met his friend in the street of new york.
"Oh, Mr. Edison!" My friend exclaimed, "This time, you should at least make a change and buy a new coat!" " "
"What do you want it for?" Edison unexpectedly replied, "Here, people already know me."

"Waste liquid and waste residue are the biggest waste than time." Edison often told his assistant. "Life is too short, try to do more, and there is not much time."
One day, Edison was working in the laboratory. He handed the port to his assistant and said, "How many light bulbs do you have?" He bowed his head to work.
At the age of 60, he asked, "How big is the capacity?" He didn't hear the answer, but turned to see the assistant with a soft ruler measuring the circumference and inclination of the light bulb and the calculated voltage measured by the table. He said, "Time, time, how much time do you charge?" Edison Chen came and took an empty light bulb, filled it with water, handed it to his assistant, and said, "If this quantity drops in a cup with water, tell me its capacity at once."
The assistant immediately read the number.
Edison said, "How easy it is to measure. It is accurate and saves time. what do you think of it ? Isn't it a waste of time? "
The assistant blushed.
