1. Sima Guang
Sima Guang was once a child who loved to play and sleep, for which he was often punished by his teacher and ridiculed by his peers. Under the earnest instruction of his teacher, he was determined to get rid of his bad habit of snoozing.
In order to get up early, he drank a full stomach of water before going to bed. As a result, he did not wake up in the morning, but wet the bed. So the clever Sima Guang made a warning pillow out of garden wood. When he turned over in the morning, his head fell on the bed and he woke up naturally. From then on, he got up early every day to study and persevered, and finally became a knowledgeable writer who wrote "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".
2. Edison
As early as 1821, British scientists David and Faraday invented an electric light called the arc lamp. This kind of electric lamp uses a carbon rod as the filament. Although it can emit bright light, the light is dazzling and the life is short. So Edison began to experiment with filament materials. With great perseverance and patience, Edison tried more than 1,600 materials, including carbon strips, platinum wire, and ruthenium, chromium and other metals as filaments, but all ended in failure.
Faced with failure and the cynicism of some people, Edison did not retreat. After 13 months of hard work, Edison tried more than 6,000 materials and more than 7,000 tests, and finally found that cotton thread could be used as a filament. The filament burned out after a full 45 hours of light.
This is mankind’s first practical electric lamp. This day - October 21, 1879, is designated as the invention day of the electric light. After further experiments, Edison found that using bamboo filament was very effective. The filament was durable and the bulb could last for 1,200 hours. After that, electric lights began to enter ordinary people's homes.
3. Wang Yifu
As early as the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, when Xu Haifeng won China’s first Olympic gold medal, the 24-year-old Wang Yifu stood on the podium. . Since then, the members of the national team have changed one after another, but Wang Yifu has always insisted on the field, and he vowed to win an Olympic gold medal.
In the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Wang Yifu got his wish and won the gold medal in the ten-meter air pistol. At the age of 32, he should have retired, but doubts kept him in the game - he wanted to prove himself. Finally, after two defeats in 1996 and 2000, Wang Yifu realized his dream in Athens and used practical actions to make public opinion uproar. At this time, he was 44 years old. It was persistence that allowed him to persist despite setbacks and finally succeeded.

This extremely ordinary residence is only 500 meters away from the Chinese Embassy in Poland. If it weren’t for a small sign hanging at the door, I would never have imagined that this was the former residence of Marie Curie. The furnishings inside are very simple, displaying a profile of Madame Curie and some daily and work supplies. Unlike visiting other places, everyone inside was very quiet, and everyone finished visiting the former residence of this great and selfless scientist with tears.
In the era when Madame Curie was born, her native Poland was still under the rule of the Russian Tsarist invaders and was in the midst of internal and external wars. Although she was far away from home, she was still close to her heart. Hometown, I have always missed my motherland.
In 1898, in order to commemorate her native Poland, Marie Curie named her newly discovered element "Polonium", which means Poland.
On July 6, 1934, Madame Curie was buried in Curie's tomb in Sausage, Paris. Her brother and sister sprinkled soil brought from her native Poland into the tomb?
