Edison
Edison became proud and self-reliant in his later years, and even said to his subordinates, "Don't give me any advice. No brilliant advice can escape my thinking." In this way, he blocked the source of wisdom, lost the motivation to move forward, and there would be no new major inventions. In his later years, Edison abandoned his relatives, fell into numerous patent lawsuits all day, and finally lost the enterprise he founded (that is, General Electric, which is famous all over the world today).
Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky
Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky is weak, introverted and fragile, and full of feelings. After his marriage with a female student who worshipped him broke down, he tried to commit suicide, and his friends sent him abroad to recuperate. He was considered to have homosexual tendencies and tried to suppress them in the social environment at that time, so some people thought that this was the reason for the breakdown of marriage. During this period, I began to correspond with a Nadezhda von Meek person who loves music. Later, Nadezhda von Meek became his patron, and many of his later works were dedicated to this lady. But strangely, two people have never met. When their 14 year correspondence was terminated because this lady declared bankruptcy, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky suffered a huge blow and died in Moscow after being depressed alone for three years. There are many doubts about his death. Officials said that he drank water with cholera virus and died. However, according to later scholars' research, it is very likely that he committed suicide by taking arsenic himself. However, this is only speculation, and the real reason is still a mystery until now.
The most typical China figure.
Zhong Yong
As a teenager, Zhong Yong was smart and studious, and got good grades. When he was five years old, he could write poems, so he became famous and became the object of local public attention. In particular, after he took part in the more formal "Youth Culture Examination" organized by the government and won the first place, his reputation was greatly improved, and he was called the "No.1 scholar with few exams".
The day after the results were announced, Zhong Yong was reading as usual when he heard the doorbell ring. He felt very strange. Usually, few people come to his house. Zhong Yong's father was kneading dough and casually said, "Zhong Yong, open the door!" " "Zhong Yong opened the door and saw a well-dressed middle-aged man. Zhong Yong asked, "Who are you looking for?" The middle-aged man said, "Does Zhong Yong live here? Zhong Yong said, "I am! What can I do for you? " The middle-aged man hurriedly took out a business card and said, "I am the dean of Ren Meng College. I'm here to congratulate you on becoming the number one in this year's exam. There are still some things to discuss with your father. Is he at home? " Zhong Yong took the lead and shouted, "Dad, someone wants to see you!" Knowing that this was Meng Dean, Guan Zhong reached out to hold it. Seeing his hand full of flour, he put it down shyly. Guan Zhong asked, "What advice did Meng Dean have when he came to my humble abode?" "I dare not say that your son became the top scholar in this year's exam, winning glory for our county. I'm here to congratulate you and give you 100 silver for your future study. " Guan Zhong was flattered and quickly thanked him. Meng Dean added: "I only have one small request. There will be a press conference in our college tomorrow. I want to ask Zhong Gongzi to say a few words. " Guan Zhong said: "He is not a celebrity. What should he say? " "This is not good! Nowadays, parents are expecting their children, and successful teenagers have become the focus of attention. Therefore, Zhong Yong is now a local celebrity. As long as he said at the press conference that he used the' three learning methods' of this college, he could achieve such results. " Zhong Yong interjected, "But I haven't used it yet!" Guan Zhong scolded, "What do children know? If you say it, you say it! "
After the press conference, the enrollment of Renmeng College really increased sharply. Zhong Yonggang went home to read a book when the doorbell rang again. This time it was Xu Xiuxiu, the owner of Xiu Xiu stationery store. As soon as she entered the door, she came straight to the point and said, "I want to ask Zhong Yong to be the image ambassador of our stationery store, and I can use all kinds of stationery in our stationery store for free in the future." Zhong Yong was very happy after hearing this, and soon agreed. Guan Zhong said unhurriedly, "Well, we have to think about it." Boss Xu took out two hundred and twenty pieces of silver and said, "This is the salary this year. You can also participate in the three-day tour of Suzhou and Hangzhou organized by our stationery store for free. " Guan Zhong smiled and quickly said, "Good, good."
Then there is the "Everyday Bookstore" and so on. It's a treat or a free trip. Guan Zhong thinks: "If you don't eat for free, you are an idiot!" So please come here. Zhong Yong also has no time to study, and there is a thick layer of dust on the books. Gradually, Zhong Yong is no longer excellent. "Everyone is gone!" Those businesses also lost interest in him and went after the new "less test champion"! Start making another Zhong Yong!
