Telegraph, telephone and electric light are so common and common in today's advanced technology that no one will be surprised. But do you know how important these things were to people at that time and how ecstatic they were? Humans thus remembered their inventor-Edison.
Edison, known as the "King of Invention", is a famous American scientist and inventor. In his life, there were 1328 inventions registered in the patent office alone. How can a person who has only studied for three months have so many inventions? I think, if you have heard the story of Edison incubating chickens, you will understand that his success stems from strong curiosity.
From 65438 to 0847, Edison was born into a merchant family in Milan, Ohio, USA. Edison showed great curiosity at an early age. Whenever he saw something he didn't understand, he grabbed the clothes of adults and kept asking questions, insisting on asking ugly questions.
One day, he pointed to the hen that was hatching eggs and asked his mother, "Why is the hen sitting under her ass?" Mother said, "Oh, that's a chicken!" " "In the afternoon, Edison suddenly disappeared, and the family was anxious to look around and finally found him in the henhouse. It turned out that he was squatting in the henhouse with a lot of eggs under his ass to hatch chickens! His parents saw it and couldn't help pulling him out to wash his face and clothes. Another time, he saw birds flying freely in the sky and thought, since birds can fly, why can't people fly? So, he found a kind of powder for his friends to eat, in order to let them fly into the sky. As a result, his little friend almost died, and Edison was severely beaten by his father.
Finally, Eddie grew up to 8 years old, and his parents sent him to a rural primary school, thinking that he could study with peace of mind from now on. Who knows, he still loves to get to the bottom of it, and often makes the teacher dumbfounded and embarrassed. Once in an arithmetic class, the teacher wrote "2+2=4" on the blackboard. Edison immediately stood up and asked, "Teacher, 2 plus 2" puzzled the teacher. He thinks Edison is a troublemaker and always disagrees with his teacher. So Edison attended classes for three months and was driven home by the teacher.
Edison's mother is a great mother. She didn't blame her only son for being driven back. Instead, she decided to educate her children well. When she found Edison curious and particularly interested in physics and chemistry, she bought him books about physics and chemistry experiments. Edison followed the book and started the experiment alone. It can be said that this is Edison's enlightenment education in scientific invention.
When he grew up, Edison learned radio transceiver technology. He got a job as a night shift operator at Stratford Railway Sub-bureau. According to the regulations, the night operator must send a signal to the train service director every hour after 9 pm. In order to have a good rest at night and study and invent during the day, Edison designed a telegraph that automatically sends signals on time. This is the prototype of the telegram.
Soon after, he improved the telegraph. After many experiments, a new type of telegraph was successfully trial-produced. Edison looked at the machine he invented and smiled with relief.
It should be said that every invention of Edison is closely related to his curiosity. After inventing the telegraph, he began to do telephone experiments. He found that the diaphragm in the teleprompter could vibrate with the sound, so he observed it carefully and made a detailed record in his notebook. Thus, a "talking machine" was made. When people heard the news, they all came to watch it and called him "the greatest inventor"
Not only famous scientists need curiosity, but we ordinary people also need curiosity to learn knowledge and achieve something. In July, the Science and Technology Department of Guangming Daily conducted a questionnaire survey on 1 18 middle school students who won the National Youth Science and Technology Invention Competition. In the column "Your main psychological characteristics", 92% of the students wrote. Is the big head first out of the matrix or the small head first out of the matrix In order to find out this problem, he rushed home immediately after school every day, squatted next to the chicken coop, and sometimes even forgot to eat dinner. After more than two months, He Ji finally found that the egg came out of the mother's body first. To this end, he wrote a paper, which was praised by many biologists. His discovery is actually a new discovery that has not been recorded in the bird literature.
Being a talent requires curiosity, but curiosity does not mean that you can become a talent. If you want to achieve something, you need to work hard. Curiosity is like a seed. Without seeds, towering trees can't grow, and people without curiosity can't invent anything. After the seeds are planted in black soil, they will gradually break through the soil and grow from seedlings into columns. With curiosity, sweat and hard work, Dr. Li Zhengdao, a famous contemporary physicist, said: "Curiosity is very important and indispensable to science. There is a simple reason. Only curiosity can ask questions and solve problems. The terrible thing is that you won't ask questions and take the first step. " Because curiosity is so important, many people call it the first virtue of success. For an ambitious and eager teenager, curiosity.
Both the story of Edison, a great inventor, and the story of He Ji, a middle school student, have proved a truth to us: curiosity-the inventor's heart.
Do you long for your flower of wisdom to bloom soon? Are you eager for your creative inspiration to come soon? Then, observe life carefully! A person who does not love life and is indifferent to everything around him will not have a curious heart. If you want to be a bright star in the future life stage, from now on, take the first step of your success-enhance your curiosity.
