? After school, his grades were average, and most teachers thought that he would have no future. He is like an ugly duckling that nobody likes. The primary school teacher once asked the students to make an origami bench. The teacher looked at his papermaker and told him that it was the ugliest little bench in the world. His father once asked his teacher about Einstein's research. The teacher said, "He is mentally retarded and can't speak clearly. He mumbles to himself like a sleepwalker. He can't be a talent. "
? When Einstein was in middle school, his grades were average. Lessons that need to be memorized, such as Latin, English, biology, etc. , are not satisfactory. Once, his father went to a middle school to find the dean. The dean told him that his son was stupid all day, and no matter what he did when he grew up, he would never succeed. The teacher said, "This child is withdrawn, mentally retarded and undisciplined. No matter what he does in the future, he will not achieve much."
? When I was a senior high school student at Porter Special Middle School in Rudder, this school adopted indoctrination education, emphasized obedience, required students to learn by rote, and forced students to take military training classes. Einstein was greatly suppressed. Barracks-style management and a lot of memorization greatly damaged his interest in science, so that he didn't want to read books on science for a long time. He later said with emotion: "It is a miracle that modern teaching methods have not completely killed the curiosity of studying problems."
? Einstein's college entrance examination did not go well either. I didn't pass the exam the first time, but I passed the exam the next year. In college, he was not a good student in the eyes of teachers.
? University teachers don't like him. A very important reason is that he doesn't listen to the teacher and doesn't do experiments according to the teacher's rules. He chose courses according to his actual situation. He taught himself some lessons and mastered them, so he stopped listening to the teacher and went to the library to read his favorite physics books. When doing the physics experiment, the teacher stipulated the steps of the experiment, but Einstein wondered if we could do the experiment in other ways and reach the same conclusion in other ways. He put aside his teacher's experimental scheme and designed his own experimental circuit. The physics professor has a lot of complaints about his failure to do the experiment according to his own arrangement. However, it was in the process of conceiving new experiments that Einstein exercised his innovative ability and innovative quality of finding a new way and not sticking to the rules.
? After graduating from college, several students found enviable jobs under the recommendation of their teachers, but Einstein didn't find a job. He wrote to the professor and told him that he was interested in the study of physics, hoping that the professor would recommend him. However, the professor didn't reply to his letter. In his mind, Einstein is not a good student, nor will he have any future, and he is too lazy to write back. Many years later, Einstein and the professor met at an international physics annual meeting, when Einstein was a famous great scientist in the century. The professor said to him, "I am really old and confused." An outstanding talent is in front of me, but I didn't find it. I still have your letter. This reminds me of how confused I am from time to time. "
? After Einstein founded the theory of relativity in the field of physics, in the eyes of the older generation of physicists, he was not their favorite successor in physics. Before Einstein, American physicists Michelson and Morey wanted to verify the existence of ether and conducted the famous "Ether Drift Experiment". As a result, no sign of ether was found. Einstein established the theory of relativity by studying the relationship between time, space, mass and speed of motion of an object on the premise that ether does not exist and the speed of light remains unchanged. The premise of relativity is Michelson and Morey's experiment, that is, the dielectric ether assumed by Newtonian mechanics does not exist. Later, Einstein met Michelson, and Einstein had great respect for this senior physicist. He said to him, "When you made great achievements, I was still a child, only one meter high. It is your great achievements that laid the foundation of the building of modern physics. Without your great experiment of discovering the ether, we can only grope in the dark. " Einstein is sincere and humble, but Michelson doesn't like relativity and Einstein, and the building of Newtonian mechanics still stands tall in his heart. He simply told Einstein that his experiment of seeking ether gave birth to such a "freak" as relativity, which was a very strange thing. He regarded relativity as a "freak" and Einstein as a "mother who gave birth to a freak".
? It can be seen that Einstein has always been an ugly duckling looked down upon by teachers from elementary school to university and then to success. However, this ugly duckling has become a master of physics and a leader of the physical revolution. What a thought-provoking Einstein phenomenon this is!
How did Einstein succeed?
? No teacher likes Einstein from primary school to university. He grew up in the cold shoulder. However, Einstein grew up in an environment that teachers didn't like, and finally became a great scientist.
? After graduating from college, I couldn't find a job for a while, and later I worked as a clerk in the patent office. He is difficult to get along with. Sometimes, he thinks behind his children's backs. Sometimes, he stares at the stove. At the age of 26, generate suddenly had a spark of thought and published three papers that shocked the world. The first paper puts forward the theory of relativity, that is, time, space and mass are all variable and change with the speed of objects. Newtonian mechanics is only a description of the law of low-speed moving objects, which is a special case of relativistic mechanics. The second chapter is his quantum explanation of photoelectric effect, which fully explains the principle of photoelectric effect. The third part is the explanation of Brownian motion. Relativity has changed modern people's views on matter, time and space and motion. The photoelectric effect became the main basis for his winning the Nobel Prize, and the theoretical explanation of Brownian motion was also a great scientific achievement. Historians of science believe that all three of his achievements are eligible for the Nobel Prize.
? Since then, Einstein established the general theory of relativity, predicted the principle of laser, and made groundbreaking theoretical research in the field of unified field. He made outstanding achievements in opposing Nazi ideological autocracy, natural philosophy research and peaceful movement against nuclear war.
? His great achievements and the sharp contrast he encountered in school make people wonder, how did he become a talent? Is his success the result of a rigid education system? The key to his success is a problem that education and talent science need to pay attention to.
? His success benefited from family education to make up for the psychological defects caused by school education. The teachers in the school repeatedly think that he is a child who will never make a difference. He is a child that the teacher doesn't like, and psychological discrimination will inevitably bring him a psychological shadow. Einstein is likely to become an inferiority complex student. This kind of psychology may make him accomplish nothing, shrink back in the face of difficulties, and become a person who lacks independent thoughts and opinions. Fortunately, democracy and rich family education soothed Einstein's wounded heart. He was still a mentally healthy child. The small stool he made was ridiculed by the teacher as the worst in the world. When his father saw him, he didn't reprimand him or dig at him, but encouraged him to do it again and try to do it better. When the teacher laughed at him for doing the worst, he took out the first small bench and told the teacher that the one who handed in the homework was not the worst, but the first one was even worse. He didn't feel inferior under the teacher's deep contempt, nor did he give up his confidence to defend himself. There is a little sense of humor in his calm words. Every time a father goes to school, he will hear the teacher's criticism and cruel evaluation of his children. He never took it out on his children. If you are China's father, when they see that their children's grades have not reached their expected excellent level, they will scold them loudly, and some even slap their children in the face. Few fathers don't fly into a rage when they hear the teacher say this about their children. However, Einstein's parents carefully guarded their son's mind. It can be said that without his parents' love, under the old education system and the cruel spirit of teachers, the creative seeds of Einstein Jr. and other children are likely to be completely stifled. His success is really a miracle.
? His success is due to a good education in irrational thinking. Einstein received a good music education at home, which played a very important role in improving his thinking ability in images. His mother has a good talent for music. She has been teaching Einstein to play the piano since she was 6 years old. Music became an important way for Einstein to rest and think. In the days when the theory of relativity was founded, he played the piano during recess. While playing the piano, he was also thinking. Music exercised his thinking ability in images and stimulated his imagination. He once said that imagination is more important than knowledge, knowledge is limited, and imagination can make up for the lack of knowledge. The good music education he received since childhood has played a very good catalytic role in the development of his imagination. He constructed the theory of relativity by thinking experiments and studied such a profound theoretical problem as simultaneity, which is inseparable from his rich imagination.
? Einstein's success also benefited from family education, which cultivated Einstein's self-study ability and research ability. In childhood, his father gave him a compass and told him its direction. Einstein was fascinated by the compass and tried it again and again. No matter where the compass is placed, one of its hands always points to the south. He imagined various reasons to explain why it pointed south. He once imagined that there was a little man in the compass controlling the direction. Guiding interest and exploration of compass was a scientific research project of his childhood. /kloc-When he was 0/2 years old, his uncle Jacob gave him a copy of Euclidean geometry. He mastered some of them through self-study. He studied hard and independently proved Pythagoras' law. It was this book that inspired his interest in mathematics and his self-study ability. His search for the root of the problem and his self-study ability are all cultivated in family education. He feels that there is a law in nature that does not depend on human will. They are usually invisible, but they exist and show themselves from time to time. No matter how you look at a right triangle, you can't see that the square of the hypotenuse will be equal to the sum of the squares of two right-angled sides. However, human reason has discovered and proved this. How powerful the power of logic is He began to understand that human feelings can only discover the appearance of the world, and only reason can discover the internal laws of the world. If you want to find something, you have to explore and think.
? It can be said that Einstein's family education undertook the main task of his success. Good family education has developed his wisdom, protected his creative spirit, and cultivated his independent thinking ability and keen interest in exploring the unknown world.
Enlightenment of Einstein phenomenon
? Einstein changed from an ugly duckling that everyone said was ugly to a particularly beautiful swan. Einstein phenomenon is thought-provoking.
? First of all, we need to re-examine the values of education.
? Education should care about all children and let them develop. In the history of education, many children that teachers don't like eventually become talents. Edison in America was expelled from the teacher because he asked the teacher a question when he was studying mathematics. Why is one plus one equal to two? Who stipulated it? This is actually a very profound question, the essence of which is how the laws of mathematics come from. The teacher probably didn't think about it at all, and thought he was stupid and naughty, so he stopped him at school. Mendel, the founder of genetics, was also considered a bad student by the teacher, because he asked the teacher why some apples were red and some were yellow, and the teacher's answer was God's creation. Mendel asked again: How did God create it? There is nothing wrong with this, but the teacher thinks that God's creation can only be praised and there can be no doubt. Another great mathematician, Euler, the teacher didn't like it either, because he asked the teacher how many stars there were in the sky and how God put them in the sky. So he was fired.
? This problem also exists in our education. Most of the students that teachers like are primary school girls. They are precocious, quiet and obedient. The students that teachers like are all obedient and gentle students. Professor's favorite students often take the teacher's theory as the theory, and this obedience and consistency affect a nation's creativity. Teachers should be tolerant of diversity and care for students who are temporarily poor. Education should give all students opportunities to develop, instead of focusing on some smart children. Einstein was not an earlier wise man; He is a late bloomer. His parents did not discriminate against him because he started late in wisdom, but nurtured him lovingly. Numerous facts have proved that the road to wisdom growth and success is very complicated and changeable; Intelligence is diverse and development is unbalanced. Some people are good at remembering, some people are good at observing and some people are good at thinking. Early wisdom may not be successful, but later wisdom may also be a great talent. Don't look down on the ugly duckling. Education should make all children moistened by rain and dew.
? Schools should not be factories for inculcating knowledge. Schools should cultivate people who think independently, and put the cultivation of general ability of independent thinking and independent judgment in the first place, rather than the acquisition of professional knowledge in the first place. Einstein believes that if a person has mastered the foundation of the subject and learned to think and work independently, he will certainly find his own way, and he will adapt to progress and change better than those who only care about obtaining detailed knowledge. The root of the phenomenon of high scores and low energy that we often encounter today is that we pay too much attention to detail knowledge instead of cultivating independent thinking.
? Schools should create a relaxed and free atmosphere and leave some freedom for students to study. When Einstein was in college, Weber, a physics professor, talked about traditional physics. Einstein taught himself this knowledge. His interest was theoretical physics, so he taught himself theoretical physics instead of taking a physics class. He believes that freedom leads to wisdom, and the energy of freedom protects students' precious curiosity. He said that curiosity "this fragile seedling needs not only encouragement, but also freedom; Without freedom, it is bound to perish. It is a serious mistake to think that compulsion and responsibility can enhance the fun of observation and exploration. On the contrary, I think even a healthy beast will lose its greedy nature if it continues to be forced to swallow with a whip when it is not hungry, even if it can swallow, especially if the food it is forced to feed is selected. "Today, we are still using the whip for further study, forcing students to swallow it constantly.
? Schools should cultivate students' personalities. Schools should not be simply regarded as a tool to impart the most knowledge to the next generation. Knowledge is dead, but schools should serve the living. Einstein thought: "A unified and standardized society without individual originality and individual will will be an unfortunate society without the possibility of development." Schools should also cultivate noble moral qualities and emotions. Einstein advocated that schools should carry out moral education. "Without ethical education, human beings cannot be saved." . He opposes the attitude of attaching importance only to knowledge, because "the thinking habit of' attaching importance to reality' freezes the feelings of human mutual understanding like frost."
? Second, we should attach great importance to family education.
? Family education is an important part of education, and parents are children's first teachers. Psychological research shows that children's psychological and intellectual growth has a critical period. The critical period is generally in the young stage. Therefore, family education is actually an early education, a holistic education, not only an education of intelligence, but also an education of personality. Family education is of fundamental significance to children's growth. The experience of a large number of talents in history shows that family education is closely related to success. Einstein's success is also related to his family education and early education. His father's tolerance and encouragement to his son made him love science. His mother taught him music, exercised his right brain, stimulated his imagination and developed his thinking ability in images. However, there are many problems in family education in China at present. As most children are only children, China's parents have a tradition of doting on their children. Children's living conditions are too superior, they lack opportunities for exercise and hardship, and their character growth is flawed. Many parents are the generation who went to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution. Because of their special growth circumstances, they are often too eager to get compensation for educational regrets from their children, giving them too high expectations and exerting too much pressure on their growth. This heavy family education is very unfavorable to children's growth.
