1955, Bill Gates was born in Seattle, a beautiful city in the western United States. At the age of 1 1, Gates entered the most famous private middle school in Seattle. At this time, it is the time when computers rise quietly. Hubin Middle School spent a lot of money to buy a computer for students to understand and learn. The studious Gates soon fell in love with computers.
1973, Gates was admitted to Harvard. Harvard is a world-famous university, where outstanding students from all over the United States and around the world gather.
From 65438 to 0974, the news that the first personal computer came out inspired all the passions of Gates. He decided to drop out of Harvard and join the computer wave. Because this is a once-in-a-century opportunity.
1975, Gates and his good friend Paul finally set up their own company. They named their company Microsoft. At this time, although Microsoft has not yet formed a big climate, Gates and his friends have become famous in the computer industry.
198 1 year, IBM, the largest computer company at that time, officially exhibited its new personal computer, which caused a sensation. What is more striking is that it is Microsoft under the leadership of young Gates who provides language programs for IBM. Through unremitting efforts, Microsoft won the final victory. Half a year after the advent of IBM personal computer, Microsoft officially became the leader of personal computer software. Gates, who is only 26 years old, also became famous.
Today, Gates has reached the peak of the computer software world and become the idol of a new generation of American youth.
Knock on the door of wealth
(Seize the opportunity with wisdom)
1992, the 25th Olympic Games was held in Barcelona, Spain. Before the competition, the owner of an electrical appliance store in this city declared to Barcelona citizens: "If the total number of gold medals won by Spanish athletes in this Olympic Games exceeds 10, then customers can get a full refund of all electrical appliances purchased in this store from June 3 to July 24."
The news caused a sensation in Barcelona. People flocked there to buy electrical appliances, and the sales of shops soared. Especially on July 4th, Spanish athletes won 10 gold and 1 silver. Therefore, people are snapping up electrical appliances harder than before.
It is estimated that the refund of electrical stores will reach $6,543,800+0,000. It seems that the boss is definitely going bankrupt! But the boss said calmly: "The refund will be cashed from September."
"Why is this? Can he afford it? " People are inevitably suspicious.
It turns out that the boss has already arranged it. Before advertising, he went to the insurance company to take out special insurance. The insurance company thought it was impossible to surpass the 10 gold medal and accepted the insurance.
This is an insurance policy for drought and flood, which only earns money and does not lose money. If the total number of gold medals won by Spanish athletes does not exceed 10, then the electrical appliance store obviously made a profit, and the insurance company does not need compensation. On the other hand, if the total number of gold medals exceeds 10, the insurance company will compensate the electronics store for all the money it wants to return, which has nothing to do with the electronics store, so the electronics store will undoubtedly make a lot of money.
The most capable people are those who are good at seizing opportunities, using opportunities, conquering opportunities and controlling opportunities to serve themselves.
The opportunity is just around the corner.
(Good at spotting opportunities)
When young Rockefeller first joined the oil company, he was assigned to check whether the oil tank was welded automatically because of his low education and poor technology. This is the simplest job for oil companies, even children can do it.
Rockefeller stared at the automatic dripping flux every day, walked around the tank cover, looked at the automatic conveyor belt and then unloaded the tank. This job is simple and boring. A few days later, Rockefeller was a little tired. But because he couldn't find a better job, Rockefeller decided to settle down and do his immediate work well.
Therefore, he observed and checked the welding quality of the oil tank more carefully. At that time, the company was carrying out a saving plan, and Rockefeller thought, can I also save some procedures in this job?
He found that every time an oil tank is welded, the flux will drop by 39 drops; And after careful calculation, as long as 37 drops can be welded. However, this method is not practical.
Rockefeller didn't lose heart, but studied deeper. After many experiments, he finally developed the "38 drops" welding machine. In other words, using this welder can save one drop of flux every time. Although only one drop of flux was saved, the "38 drops" welding machine saved the company $5 million every year.
Thirty-nine drops of solder fell in the eyes of everyone in the company, but only Rockefeller's heart. It was such a drop of flux that changed Rockefeller's life.
In fact, the world never lacks opportunities. What is really lacking is a keen eye to find opportunities and a wise mind to seize them.
Verne hit Dumas.
(Opportunity is accidental)
On 18, Jules? Verne went to Paris to study law, but he had no interest in law, but fell in love with literature and drama. Once, Verne left early from a party, and when he went downstairs, he was suddenly childlike and slipped down the handrail of the stairs, not wanting to bump into a fat gentleman. Verne was very embarrassed. After apologizing, he casually asked each other if they had eaten. The other party replied that they had just eaten Nantes scrambled eggs. Verne shook his head and claimed that there were no authentic Nantes scrambled eggs in Paris because he was from Nantes and did a good job. The fat gentleman was overjoyed and invited Verne to perform at his door. From then on, their friendship began. They once wrote plays together, which created favorable conditions for Verne to embark on the road of creation. The fat gentleman's name is Dumas. Under the influence of Dumas, he devoted himself to the creation of poetry and drama. In Paris, he wrote 20 plays (unpublished) and some romantic poems.
Later, Verne collaborated with Dumas to create the drama Broken Straw, which was staged, marking Verne's initial success in the literary world. Later, Verne became the "father of scientific fantasy".
Xiang Yu missed the opportunity.
(Opportunity is fleeting)
At the end of Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu invaded Xianyang successively. At that time, Xiang Yu led 400,000 troops stationed in Xinfeng Hong Men outside Xianyang, and Liu Bangled 654.38+ 10,000 troops stationed in Bashang. The two armies are very close. At this time, Xiang Yu was in full swing, and it was a piece of cake to destroy Liu Bang's forces. Counselor Fan Zeng proposed that Xiang Yu hold a banquet in Hongmen to entertain Liu Bang, during which he took the opportunity to kill Liu Bang to avoid future trouble. However, at the "Hongmen Banquet", Xiang Yu was indecisive and gave up the opportunity to kill Liu Bang many times. Then, he listened to Xiang Bo's "theory of benevolence and righteousness", released his opponent who was at an absolute disadvantage at that time, and named Liu Bang "Hanwang". Later, Xiang Yu led troops from Xianyang to Pengcheng, intending to show off in his hometown, thus delaying the fighter plane. Liu bang's power is increasing day by day. In the end, the embattled voice forced the overlord of a generation of Xi land to bid farewell to his beloved Yuji with tears, which ended in the end of Wujiang River, which was embarrassing.
Careful analysis shows that there are many other subjective and objective factors in the tragedy of Xiang Yu's defeat, but it is not unrelated to his missing the opportunity in Hongmen. When Xiang Yu released Liu Bang at Hongmen, Fan Zeng once said angrily, "It is not enough to plan with this boy!" "1April, 949, on the eve of commanding the People's Liberation Army to cross the river to pursue the Kuomintang army, Mao Zedong once summed up the lesson of Xiang Yu's failure in one of his poems:" It is advisable to pursue the poor bandits with the only remaining brave, and not learn from the overlord. "
Provide their own services
It takes courage to seize the opportunity.
Mao Sui was unknown under Ping Yuanjun for three years and never had a chance to display his talents.
Once, Qin attacked Zhao on a large scale, and the situation was critical. The prince of Zhao sent Ping Yuanjun to Chu for help. Ping Yuanjun decided to choose 20 resourceful people to accompany him, but only 19 people were qualified. At this time, Mao Sui took the initiative to stand up and said, "I would like to go to Chu with Ping Yuanjun."
Ping Yuanjun didn't think so at first: "The talented people in the world are like awls in their pockets. The tip of the awl will soon come out of the pocket and people will soon find him. " . And you haven't been able to show your skills, how can I go to Chu with someone who has no skills to carry out such an important mission with me? "
Mao sui is not angry. He argued calmly, "The reason why I didn't drill the tip out of my pocket like an awl is because I never put it in your pocket like an awl." Ping Yuanjun promised Mao Sui as his entourage and rushed to Chu overnight.
Ping Yuanjun arrived in Chu, but the negotiation was not smooth. Only Mao Sui faced the king of Chu, made a generous speech, and touched the king of Chu with reason and emotion. The king of Chu was finally persuaded to make a covenant with Ping Yuanjun. Zhao then cleared the way.
Afterwards, Ping Yuanjun said, "Mao Sui turned out to be a great man! His golden words are really worth millions of troops! But I didn't find him before. If Mr. Mao hadn't stepped forward, I would have buried a talent! "
Don't always wait for someone to recommend you. As long as you are talented, you might as well stand up and make your due contribution.
Wild ducks and goshawks
(Seize the opportunity and concentrate)
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man in Chu who was good at archery, and his name was Yang Shu. He can shoot leaves on poplar branches from a hundred paces away, and every shot can hit. The king of Chu envied his uncle's archery and asked him to teach him archery. Uncle Yang teaches archery. The king of Chu practiced cheerfully for quite a while, and gradually became comfortable, so he invited Uncle Yang to go hunting in the wild with him.
The hunting began, and the king of Chu ordered people to drive away the wild ducks hiding in the reeds. The wild duck flapped its wings in panic. King Chu was about to shoot an arrow when a goat jumped out from his left. The king of Chu thinks it is much more cost-effective to shoot a goat with an arrow than to shoot a wild duck! So the king of Chu pointed the arrow at the goat again and prepared to shoot it. But at this moment, a sika deer suddenly jumped out on the right. The king of Chu thought that if he shot a rare sika deer, the value would be much higher than that of a goat, so he aimed his arrow at the sika deer again. Suddenly, everyone exclaimed for a while. It turned out that a precious goshawk flew out from the treetops and fluttered into the air. The king of Chu thought it better to shoot the goshawk.
But when he was about to aim at the goshawk, the goshawk flew away quickly. The king of Chu had to come back and shoot the sika deer, but the sika deer also escaped. I had to go back to find the goat, but the goat had run away and even the duck disappeared without a trace.
The king of Chu painted a picture with a bow and arrow for a long time, and nothing came out.
Opportunity is fleeting, so you must seize the opportunity you have been pursuing and achieve your goal.
Maxwell's turning point in life
Opportunity can change a person's fate.
Maxwell, 16 years old, first arrived in Cambridge, and everything felt fresh. At this time, he specialized in mathematics and read many monographs. However, his reading is not systematic. Sometimes, in order to study a problem, he can do nothing for weeks; Sometimes, he may read what he sees and ramble.
This young man who is good at learning and thinking needs the guidance of a famous teacher to shine brilliantly. Fortunately, by chance, Maxwell really met a good teacher, that is Hopkins. Hopkins is a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University. One day, he went to the library to borrow books Unfortunately, a math monograph he wanted was borrowed by a student first. That book is impossible for ordinary students to understand, and the professor is a bit strange. He asked the name of the borrower, and the librarian replied "Maxwell". When the professor found Maxwell, he saw that the young man was immersed in copying, his notebook was painted in various ways, and the room was in a mess. Hopkins became interested in young people and said humorously, "Young people, if there is no order, you will never be an excellent mathematician." From this day on, Hopkins became Maxwell's guidance professor.
Hopkins is knowledgeable and has trained many talents. Under his guidance, Maxwell first overcame the chaotic learning methods. Hopkins is very strict with every topic and every step of his operation. The tutor also recommended Maxwell to study in the top class of Cambridge University. Under the guidance of this excellent mathematician, Maxwell made rapid progress and finally became a generation of scientific masters.
Yilin story
God's apple
After John died, he went to see God. God read his resume and was very unhappy. "You have lived on the earth for 60 years, why haven't you achieved anything?"
John argued, "Lord, it's not all my fault, but you didn't give me a chance." If you let that magical apple hit me on the head, it will be me who discovers the law of gravity. "
God thought for a moment and said, "well, we might as well try."
With a wave of his hand, God returned to the apple orchard 30 years ago. God shook the fruit tree, and a red apple fell and hit John right on the head. John picked up the apple, wiped it with his skirt and ate it in a few bites.
God let a bigger red apple hit John on the head, and John ate it again.
God sighed, "poor man!" " "He is determined to give John another chance. God shook the apple tree for the third time, and a big apple landed on John's head exactly. John flew into a rage, picked up the apple and threw it out: "damn apple, it stirred my good dream." "
The apple flew out and landed right on Newton's sleeping head. Newton woke up, picked up the apple and was suddenly enlightened. He discovered the law of gravity.
Time has returned to the present, and God said, "Are you convinced now?" John pleaded, "Lord, please give me another chance!" " "God shook his head." No need. Everyone has the same chance of being hit by an apple, but everyone's ability to grasp the opportunity is different. "
The Meeting of Life and Opportunity
By chance, life and opportunity meet, so the following dialogue happened:
Life proudly said to the opportunity, "You are my subordinate, and it is my strength that makes you accepted, so you should obey my command."
Opportunity was unconvinced and retorted, "We are interdependent. Without me, you have no bright spot. "
Life says, "I will still have a bright spot without you!" " I don't need you. "
The two men argued endlessly, and their words were not speculative. As a result, opportunities are far from life.
The ending is:
Life is bleak because there is no chance.
Opportunities disappear because there is no life.
The philosopher said, "Life is wonderful because of opportunities, and opportunities are brilliant because of life."
A father said to his idle son, "For life, opportunity is like a thief. When you come, you will be silent, and when you leave, you will lose a lot. " For opportunities, life is a big stage. If you seize the opportunity, life will become colorful and shining. "
Only once in a lifetime.
Once upon a time, there was a man in Luoyang who always wanted to be an official, but he never had a chance to be an official in his life. Time is like running water, and decades have passed quickly. The human eye can't help but feel sad when it sees that its hair is white and old. One day, he was walking on the road and couldn't help crying.
Someone was surprised to see him like this, so he went up to him and asked him:
"Lao Zhang, why are you so sad?"
The old man replied:
"I have been begging all my life, but I have never met an opportunity. Seeing that I am so old, I am still wearing a cloth, and I have no chance to be an official. I am so sad that I cried. "
The man who asked him said again:
"So many people got the officer, why don't you have a chance?
The old man replied:
"When I was young, I studied literature and history. I know something about this, so I came out to ask for an official, which is in line with the monarch's preference for appointing experienced old people. I waited for many years, until the monarch who liked to appoint old people died, and then I came out to ask for an official. Who knows that the monarch who succeeded to the throne is a man who loves samurai, and I am incompetent again. So, I changed my mind and abandoned the article and the martial arts. When I learned martial arts successfully, the monarch who valued martial arts also died. Now the heir is a young monarch, who likes to promote young people to be officials, and I am not young. My decades have passed in a flash, and I have been born out of time all my life. I didn't get the chance to be an official. Isn't this a very sad thing? " Then he began to cry again.
What is an opportunity?
A teacher who teaches marketing asks his students, "What is an opportunity?" Students' answers are varied, and some say: "Opportunity is the kind of special luck that others can't meet"; Some people say: "Opportunity is someone else's concern"; Others said: "Opportunity is the relationship you usually manage." . The teacher was noncommittal, but told the students one thing he learned when he went abroad for an inspection.
Coconut is abundant in many places in Thailand. Coconut trees are more than ten meters high and have smooth trunks without branches. It is difficult to pick coconuts, and some safety accidents will happen every year when picking coconuts from trees. A coconut farmer who graduated from high school runs a monkey training school, which mainly trains monkeys to pick coconuts. Then sell these trained monkeys to gardeners or farmers who want to rent them. Because monkeys pick coconuts three or four times more efficiently than people. As a result, the supply of monkeys he trained was in short supply. In just a few years, the farmer became the leading local rich man.
The teacher then expounded his own views. He said, "If that Thai farmer didn't understand the hardships of coconut farmers and didn't have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering, opportunities would never come to him."
Do it when you have to.
Three disciples of Socrates, the master of ancient Greek philosophy, once asked their teacher how to find the ideal partner. Socrates did not answer directly, but let them walk on the ridge, only allowed to move forward, and only gave one chance, the requirement was to pick the best and biggest ears of wheat.
The first disciple saw a big and beautiful ear of wheat without walking a few steps, and happily picked it up. But when he walked on, he found that there were many bigger ones ahead, but he didn't have a chance and could only walk the whole course with regret.
The second disciple learned his lesson, and whenever he wanted to pick it, he always reminded himself that there was something better to come. But when he was near the finish line, he found that all the opportunities were missed.
The third disciple learned the lesson of the first two disciples. When one third of the trip is completed, it is divided into three categories: large, medium and small; When you walk another third, verify whether it is correct; By the last third, he chose a beautiful ear of wheat belonging to a large category. Although this ear of wheat is not the best and biggest in the field, it is enough for him.
seek an opportunity
A young man in his early twenties walked on the road in a hurry, completely ignoring the roadside scenery and passing pedestrians. A man stopped him and asked, "Young man, why are you in such a hurry?"
The young man ran forward without looking back and said coldly, "Don't stop me, I'm looking for an opportunity."
In a blink of an eye, 20 years later, the young man has become a middle-aged man, still galloping on the road.
Another man stopped him: "Hey, man, what are you doing?"
"Don't stop me, I'm looking for an opportunity."
Another 20 years have passed, and this middle-aged man has become an old man with a haggard face and dim eyes, still struggling on the road.
A man stopped him: "Old man, are you still looking for opportunities?"
"yes."
When the old man answered this sentence, he was suddenly surprised and a line of tears fell. It turns out that the man who asked him a question just now is the God of Opportunity. He has been looking for it all his life, but the god of opportunity is actually around him.
Dandelion in the Sahara Desert
A special kind of dandelion grows in the desert on the east coast of the Mediterranean. It won't extend its life as usual. If there is no rain, it will not germinate and bloom all its life. But as long as there is light rain, no matter when it rains, they will seize this rare opportunity to sprout and blossom quickly, and seize the time to finish the fruit and spreading before the rain evaporates.
Residents in the Middle East often give it as a gift to relatives and friends, because if you bury it in a flowerpot, it will take root, sprout and blossom as long as you don't forget to water it. Israelis mainly give it to those who are smart and poor. They believe that in this world, the opportunities for ordinary people to develop themselves and improve themselves are as poor as dandelions in the desert when it rains, but as long as they have the same qualities as dandelions in the desert, once the opportunity comes, they will resolutely seize it and boldly practice it, and they will also become rich and great people.
It turns out that dandelion plants in the desert are planted in flowerpots to remind people from time to time not to be pessimistic and disappointed, not to complain, but to wait patiently when encountering difficulties; And once the opportunity comes, we must pounce decisively and seize it.
Application and innovation
Opportunity is not equal to success.
Opportunity in hand does not mean that you will succeed, it is just a shortcut on the road of life. Just like you go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise, there is a shortcut that can save you time and effort; However, don't forget that shortcuts are often by the edge of a cliff, and below it is an abyss. Shortcuts are quick, but there are risks, so we should try our best to finish them. In other words, grasping opportunities requires constant efforts and cannot be proud. Only in this way, you won't fall into the abyss halfway, and you won't waste opportunities.
After Liu Bei's death, Liu Chan acceded to the throne and became emperor. He was the last ruler of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, Shu, Wei and Wu had a solid position and a prominent foundation. Zhuge Liang, the resourceful "Mr. Wolong", made suggestions for him and devoted himself to his death; Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and other generals who can recruit good fighters will open up territory for him. This is a once-in-a-century opportunity. However, it was finally captured by Wei and ridiculed by later generations as "A Dou who can't afford to help". A once-in-a-century person can't achieve his career, but his home country is in jeopardy. Why?
Liu Chan was born with a gift, so he knew nothing about learning. For such a person, he craves pleasure and fails to seize the rare opportunity. How can this be successful enough?
If you don't focus on your own training, but place your hopes on opportunities, don't say that opportunities don't come at any time. Even if there is, we can only watch them slip away. What's more, the shortcut brought by this opportunity will also become a steep mountain road full of risks, which will be smashed if you are not careful.
Opportunities are born of challenges.
Two frogs-the old frog and its son, the little frog, accidentally fell into a bucket of milk. In order to survive, they kept swimming and swimming for a long time, but there was no hope.
The old frog swam more and more slowly, so he said to his son, "I'm tired and can't swim." I am drowning. "
The little frog kept encouraging the old frog: "No, keep swimming. Continue to swim, there will be miracles, and you must have confidence. "
However, half an hour later, Father Frog stopped and sank to the bottom of the milk bucket. The frog son kept swimming, and the stirred milk slowly formed a butter ball. Soon, the butter ball under his feet hardened. He took this "ball" as a platform and jumped out of the milk bucket.
In all the dangers, don't forget that there are opportunities. The savior is in this opportunity, and the opportunity is created by people. The word "crisis" should have been interpreted as danger and opportunity. Just like a challenge, it looks like a crisis and its future is uncertain, but don't forget that "no way back is suspicious, and there is another village." Of course, this also requires us to be fearless of challenges and make unremitting efforts in order to find the road to success in the desperate situation. Some of these roads are still shortcuts and opportunities for our success. However, before we find it, maybe we will work harder, like a little frog falling into milk, and keep swimming and swimming to get out of danger until the opportunity hidden in the challenge reveals its true colors. So, don't complain that there are no opportunities in life, only constant challenges. Don't you know that those opportunities are sometimes conceived in challenges?
Zhuge Liang came out to stand by (ancient times)
Zhuge Liang, also known as Kong Ming, was a famous politician and strategist in Shu and Han Dynasties. /kloc-when he was 0/5 years old, he left his hometown in Shandong and took refuge in Xiangyang, Hubei Province to escape the war with his family. 17 years old, living in seclusion in Xilongzhong, Xiangyang City. Zhuge Liang has no ambition and often compares himself to Guan Zhong, a great statesman and Le Yi, a strategist in the Spring and Autumn Period. So he lived in seclusion in Longzhong, farming, reading and watching the world until he came out. He is called "Wolong".
Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the form of warlord melee has become clear. Cao Cao basically unified the northern part of China and had the greatest influence. Sun Quan's separatist regime in Jiangdong was consolidated. Warlords such as Liu Biao and Liu Zhang also have their own turf. Liu Bei joined the army to suppress the Yellow Scarf Uprising and formed a small military group, but was repeatedly defeated by Cao Cao and forced to turn around and take refuge, without his own fixed site. In order to develop their power, they visited everywhere and looked for talents. He "visited the thatched cottage" and asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain to assist him. Zhuge Liang brilliantly analyzed the political situation at that time to Liu Bei and put forward countermeasures. This is the famous "Longzhong Dui".
Zhuge Liang stepped onto the political stage and became Liu Bei's main adviser, holding military and political power. Joining hands with Sun to fight against Cao, he won the famous victory in Battle of Red Cliffs, captured Jingzhou, marched into Sichuan, and won Yizhou, forming a tripartite confrontation between Wei, Shu and Wu, which made great contributions to Liu Bei's establishment and consolidation of the Shu-Han regime.
Napoleon seized the opportunity (external)
Napoléon Bonaparte,18th century French politician, strategist, the first French empire, emperor of the Hundred Days Dynasty. But he turned out to be just a little captain and artillery officer.
1793, he was reported to the front to take part in the battle against Toulon. Just as the front-line commander of the revolutionary army was puzzled by Toulon's solid defense, Napoleon immediately seized this opportunity and put forward a new battle plan directly to the special correspondent Saliceti. When reporting that the members had no good plan, Napoleon's plan was very innovative. He immediately appointed Napoleon as the deputy commander of the siege artillery and was promoted to major. Napoleon seized this opportunity, carefully planned and fought bravely at the front, fully demonstrated his courage and intelligence, and finally conquered Toulon. Because of this, he won the meritorious military service and was promoted to major general brigade commander. In the end, he became famous in one fell swoop, which laid the foundation for him to become all-powerful and reach the peak of power.
Successful people create opportunities (today)
Qiu Bojun, the founder of Jinshan Company, was originally a financial officer in a factory in Hebei Province. After work, he became fascinated with the development of computer software. During the great development of Shenzhen, he seized the opportunity and resolutely resigned to start a business in the south, which was a great success and was called the "national hero" of the software industry.
Many people envy successful people and long for success, but often miss the opportunity because they have no strength to seize it. Because opportunities only favor those who are prepared.
Opportunity belongs to the willing.
(Bobby Chen seized the opportunity to rise up)
In July 209 BC, 900 poor farmers, including Chen Sheng and Guangwu, were sent to defend Yuyang. Because of the heavy rain on the road, the road was washed away and they couldn't arrive on time. According to the law of the Qin Dynasty, they were killed by mistake. Chen Sheng saw his own situation and the national people's hatred of the Qin Dynasty, and decided to seize this opportunity to mobilize the border guards to kill the Qin Jun officers who escorted them. Exposing the pole as a flag and using sticks and hoes as weapons, they led this 900-person peasant armed against Qin. Immediately after the uprising, it won the support of the broad masses of the people. Farmers brought their own dry food and joined the rebels one after another. The insurgents expanded rapidly, attacking the city and plundering the land. Finally overthrew the rule of the Qin dynasty.
Opportunity favors those who are prepared.
Dreams provide answers for science.
German chemist Kekule is a diligent person. One day, after intense work, he felt very tired and fell asleep in a carriage. He has been absorbed in studying the structure of benzene molecules these days, and his brain is extremely tired. After sleeping, many nerves in his brain will get excited involuntarily after a short rest. It seems to him that all carbon molecules are alive, dancing in front of his eyes and forming a long chain. The long chain twisted like a snake, suddenly biting its tail and turning into a circle. At this time, Kekule woke up from a dream and suddenly realized, "I found the answer. Benzene molecules are cyclic structures. " If Kekule had been a lazy man, this discovery would not have been possible.
