Due to his mother’s expectations, Guy When he was very young, he studied writing under Gustave, a famous French writer at that time.
This master-level teacher has extremely strict requirements for Guy De, even harsh. Every weekend, Guy De would bring his homework to the teacher for correction. But most of his homework failed to satisfy the teacher. For this reason, Guy De had to revise it repeatedly under the guidance of his teacher.
One day, Gustave said to Guy De: Go to Ninth Street in Paris, turn left at the second intersection, and see who is the first person on the right side of the road. ?
Guy De came to the intersection and saw a sculpture of an old woman from a distance, so he rushed back and told the teacher: "It's an old woman." ?

He just took a piece of wood and chipped it and put it on her face." of. ?At this time, Gustave's face finally showed a satisfied smile.
As the writing training gradually deepened, Guy De's writing level improved by leaps and bounds. During this period, Guy De wrote a large number of works, which seemed out of reach for his peers and could be published. Many of these works were also praised by teachers. But Gustave still advised him not to publish it in a hurry.
The teacher’s words puzzled Guy De for a moment: Why can’t these works of mine be published? In 1875, 25-year-old Guy De secretly published his first work behind his teacher’s back. A novel "Model of the Human Hand". This is a novel with a strange conception: the model made of the murderer's hand came to life, and began to plot evil again. In the end, the hand was "cut off and replanted", and then it calmed down. After the work was published, many people were amazed after reading it, but Guy De was severely criticized by his teacher. ?Your toddler works are all useless paper, so please don't publish them. ?Finally, Gustave solemnly said to Guy Deju, ?I am a threshold. You can only go outside by stepping over me. ?
The teacher’s words made Guy De a little sad, but he still followed the teacher’s instructions and practiced with concentration from then on, no longer thinking about publishing. As for the previously written works, he shelved them all.
Another four years passed like this. In 1879, Guy De completed a novel. He carefully showed it to the teacher for review, waiting for the teacher's criticism and guidance. A few days later, Guy De went to see his teacher in a very uneasy mood. When the teacher saw him, he was uncharacteristically happy, holding his hand and saying excitedly: "Congratulations, your article is mature and ready for publication." ?

When Chaplin was a child, the school organized a choir for Christmas one year, but Chaplin failed to make the selection. He was very depressed. One day in class, Chaplin recited a comedy lyric, which won everyone's applause. The teacher said: "Although you are not good at singing, you are very talented in performing with humor." ?
Later, my father died young and my mother suffered from severe mental illness. In order to make a living, Chaplin went to theaters everywhere, hoping to play a role. One day, a play was to be staged in a London theater, and the theater owner agreed to let Chaplin play the role of a child. The performance was not a success. While criticizing the play, the "London Tropical Times" said: "Fortunately, there is one character who makes up for the shortcomings of the play, and that is the newsboy Sangmi." We have never heard of this child before, but we can foresee that we will see his extraordinary achievements in the near future. ?
Later, the young Chaplin got an opportunity to perform in the United States. Unfortunately, this performance did not cause any sensation. However, the American "Drama News" said when talking about Chaplin: "There is at least one British person in that troupe who is very funny. He will one day make him famous." Americans fell for it. ?

Selected Inspirational Stories of Celebrity Youth Part 3: Edison’s Growth Story
In 1847, Edison was born in an ordinary family in the United States. Since he was a child, he has been full of curiosity about everything around him, and he always likes to ask more questions than others about why. One day it was time to eat, but my mother found that Edison was missing. The whole family looked for him, and finally found him in the chicken coop. It turned out that he had seen the hens hatching chicks, and he wanted to give it a try himself. Another time, he let his neighbor Mijili eat baking powder, hoping that the friend would fly like a balloon. As a result, instead of flying, the little friend almost died, causing the parents to take their children to Edison's house.
At the age of 7, Edison went to school, and he still asked why as before. The teacher taught everyone: 2 2 = 4. He wanted to ask why 2 plus 2 equals 4. Although the teacher gave him a general answer, he was still not satisfied. He was so angry that the teacher called him an imbecile and asked him to drop out of school. Mother brought Edison home, and just like that, one of our great inventors was sent home after only three months of schooling. The reason was that the teacher thought he was too stupid.
Edison was educated at home by his mother, who taught him mathematics, writing, chemistry, and nature. Edison was always very interested in learning, especially chemistry. He saved up all his pocket money to buy chemical supplies, and built a small chemistry laboratory in the cellar of his home. In addition to reading every day, he did Stay inside and experiment.
At the age of 12, in order to reduce the burden on his family, Edison began to work as a newsboy on a train. He boarded the train early every morning and often returned home at 8 or 9 pm. Even though he was tired all day, he refused to rest and stayed in the laboratory until midnight. Later, he felt that it was a pity that the free time after selling newspapers was wasted. It happened that there was a smoking room on the train that was not being used. With the consent of the conductor, Edison moved his laboratory to the train and used all his spare time to conduct experiments. . While working as a newsboy on the train, he also learned to use a printing press and created a unique newspaper of his own.
However, such days did not last long, and something unfortunate finally happened. During a train trip, due to excessive vibration of the train, a bottle of white phosphorus fell to the ground and spontaneously ignited. Thanks to the timely rescue, no major losses occurred. The furious conductor Slap him hard and throw all his belongings off the train.
Because of this slap, Edison lost the hearing in one ear. However, the train conductor could hit Edison's ears, but he could never make Edison truly lie down. Edison encountered countless difficulties and setbacks in his life, and he survived each time with strength.
With unremitting efforts, Edison’s first invention, the automatic vote counting machine, came out in 1869. He happily brought the machine to Congress, but was ruthlessly rejected. Capitalism Under the system, gimmickry on the ballot is inevitable, they don’t need a sober machine.
Edison's first invention went bankrupt. He didn't spend time grieving. He quickly devoted his energy to the next invention. From 1869 to 1910, in just 41 years, Thomas Edison applied for 1,325 invention patents, an average of one every more than 10 days, which is unique in the world.
Among all his inventions, the electric light was undoubtedly Edison's greatest contribution to mankind, and it was also the invention that consumed the most of his energy. In order to find the ideal filament, he tried more than 1,600 heat-resistant materials and more than 6,000 plant fibers, and failed more than 8,000 times. The assistant lost confidence and his family advised him to give up. He did not shake his head. He kept encouraging them and tried every possible material. Even his friend's red beard and a Chinese fan were his test subjects. Finally, he finally Victory was achieved. On October 21, 1931, the day of his funeral, all the lights in the United States were turned off for one minute to commemorate our great inventor and this important invention.
Edison possesses many human virtues, and diligence is undoubtedly the most significant of these virtues. When he was still a teenager, he read books higher than himself. He spent most of his adult life in the laboratory. I only sleep 4 or 5 hours a day. Often when I am too tired, I sleep for a while in the laboratory with a book under my pillow, and then continue working after waking up. In Edison's heart, the laboratory was his best place to rest, and he even spent his wedding days in the laboratory.
