(1) Who knows the story of Einstein and the small bench
When Einstein was young, he once had a handicraft class and wanted to make a Xiao Mu bench. When the bell rang, the students scrambled to come up with their own works and give them to the female teacher. Einstein didn't take out his own work, and he was sweating with anxiety. The female teacher looked at the little boy generously, believing that he could hand in a good work the next day.
The next day, Einstein gave the female teacher a small bench that was roughly made, and one leg of the bench was nailed off. The expectant female teacher said discontentedly, "Have any of you ever seen such a bad stool?" The students shook their heads. The teacher took another look at Einstein and said angrily, "I think there will be no worse stools in the world." There was a burst of laughter in the classroom.
Einstein's face was red. He went up to the teacher and said positively, "Yes, sir, there are worse stools." The classroom suddenly quieted down and everyone looked at Einstein. He walked back to his seat, took out two rougher small benches from under his desk and said, "This is the first time and the second time I made it. The third wooden bench was handed over to the teacher just now. Although it is not satisfactory, it is better than the first two. "
This time, everyone stopped laughing. The female teacher nodded kindly and thoughtfully to Einstein, and the students also cast admiration and approval on him.

(3) I hope to condense the story of Zhou Chu to 8 ~ 1 words, focusing on realizing self-worth after correcting mistakes.
In the period of Wu State and the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Zhou Chu, and many people know his story of eliminating three evils so far.
Zhou Chu is a native of Yixing, Jiangsu Province. His father died when he was a child, and he lacked family discipline. He is strong and likes to ride horses and hunt, but he has a bad temper and always fights with others. He does everything by his own temper, regardless of the consequences if he is unreasonable. Do whatever you want in the village and never look down on others. The villagers hated him and called him "three evils" together with the tiger on the mountain and the dragon in the water.
One day, Zhou Chu saw some old people sitting around frowning, sighing and talking about something. He went over and asked, "Now that the world is at peace and there is a bumper harvest, what are you unhappy about?" One of the courageous old people said, "How can people be happy if they don't get rid of the three evils?" Zhou Chu quickly asked, "What are the three evils? Tell me quickly." The old man told him that the first harm was the tiger on the south mountain, the second harm was the dragon under the long bridge, and it was time to say the third harm. The old man kept silent. Zhou Chu is impatient and has to let the old man talk. The old man said, "If you want to ask about this third harm, it is to bully the wicked people in the neighborhood and make everyone restless." Zhou Chu didn't expect this third evil to refer to himself. When he saw everyone looking at him, he thought he wanted him to get rid of the three evils. He said, "These three evils are nothing. I'll get rid of them." Everyone said, "If you can get rid of these three evils, it will be a great thing, and we must thank you."
Zhou Chu really got rid of the three evils. With a bow and arrow on his back and a steel knife, he strode up the South Mountain and shot the tiger with his bow and arrow. He came to the long bridge again and jumped into the water to catch the dragon. The dragon was extremely fierce, and Zhou Chu fought with it in the water. The dragon went down the river for dozens of miles, and Zhou Chu chased after it and didn't go ashore for three days and three nights.
When people in the village saw Zhou Chu never coming back, they thought that he and Xiaolong were mutually assured destruction, so they congratulated each other and celebrated that the three evils had been eliminated.
But Zhou Chu finally killed Xiaolong with his own wisdom and strength, climbed onto the shore and returned to the village. As soon as he saw that everyone was celebrating the elimination of the three evils, he realized that he was one of them. He was so sad that he thought: What's the point of being regarded as a tiger that eats people and a dragon that harms people? He made up his mind to turn over a new leaf.
Zhou Chu visited a famous teacher. Under the guidance of the famous teacher, he returned to his hometown, cheered up, changed his previous behavior, stopped being bossy and unreasonable, tried his best to help others, respected the old and cared for the young, strictly demanded himself, and became a loyal and honest person.
Zhou Chu's courage to mend his ways was praised and supported by his neighbors. Later, he was recommended to be an official in the State of Wu, and later became an official in the Jin Dynasty after the Western Jin Dynasty wiped out Wu. He is an upright official, and everyone praises him as a great upright official!
(4) The story about the value of life depends on ourselves
The value of life
A little boy who grew up in an orphanage often asked the dean pessimistically, "What's the meaning of the right to live like a children's version that nobody wants?"
the dean just laughed.
One day, the dean handed the boy a stone and said, "Tomorrow morning, you take this stone to the market to sell, but you don't really buy it. Remember, no matter how much money others give, you must never sell it. "
The next day, the boy squatted in the corner of the market with momentum, and unexpectedly found that many people were curious about his stone, and the price was getting higher and higher. Back in the courtyard, the boy excitedly reported to the dean, who smiled and asked him to take it to the gold market for sale tomorrow. In the gold market, someone offered the stone 1 times higher than yesterday.
Finally, the dean asked the boy to take the stone to the gem market for display. As a result, the value of the stone has increased tenfold. Because the boy didn't sell it, the stone was spread as a "rare treasure".
The boy excitedly returned to the orphanage with a stone in his hand, told the dean all about it, and asked the dean why.
The dean didn't laugh. He looked at the child and said slowly, "The value of life, like this stone, has different meanings in different environments. An unremarkable stone, whose value has been enhanced by your treasure, has been rumored as a rare treasure. Aren't you just like this stone? As long as you value yourself, life is meaningful and valuable. "

His friend advised him: "You should use this mob of more than 1, people to resist the three armies of the Yuan Dynasty, which is different from driving sheep and fighting tigers."
Wen Tianxiang said, "What I hate most is that once the country is in urgent need, it recruits soldiers from all over the world, and no one rides into the customs. The reason why I overreached myself and prepared to be partial to others is to make the loyal ministers and righteous people in the world rise up on the news. The winner of righteousness seeks to establish, and many people work hard, so that it is possible to save the country. "

Zhang Hongfan, the general of the Yuan Dynasty, forced him to write a letter to have Zhang Shijie, who continued to resist in Jianshan. He resolutely refused.

First, Jet Li
In 1982, after the film Shaolin Temple was released, it was hard to find a ticket, and the ticket price of a dime actually exceeded 1 million. Jet Li, the 17-year-old actor who first appeared on the screen, became famous and became an instant hit. He played the role of Jue Yuan monk, who was witty, brave and skilled, and became an idol worshipped by teenagers. Many boys shaved their heads and went to Shaolin Temple to study martial arts with martial arts dreams in mind.
However, due to the unclear purpose, impure motivation and ignorance of the true meaning of Wushu, not only did Wushu fail to learn, but many children became addicted to fighting and became street gangsters. The great success made Jet Li a generation of kung fu stars. He was surrounded by the aura of success and rejoiced at his own success.
However, as he grew older, he felt uneasy, especially when he recalled the negative impact of Shaolin Temple on a generation of teenagers. He was very sad, and he had lost the joy of success in that year, but was worried. When he was a guest on CCTV TV programs, he publicly stated that he regretted taking Shaolin Temple that year because he misled some teenagers and had a bad influence on their lives.
He said, "Actually, I began to blame myself after I was 3 years old. Why did I make this play in the first place, and how many teenagers did I mislead to learn martial arts? They obviously didn't understand what martial arts is ... It was only when such a thing happened that I blamed myself. " He felt so guilty that he had tears in his eyes to apologize.
