Joule for knowledge - good to learn

The famous British scientist Joule has loved physics since he was a child. He often does some experiments on electricity and heat.

One year off, Joule and his brother traveled to the suburbs together. Joule, who is clever and eager to learn, is playing and not forgetting to do his physical experiments.

He found a lame horse, held by his brother, and quietly hid behind him, using a Voda battery to pass current to the horse, trying to test the animal's reaction after being stimulated by current. As a result, the reaction he wanted to see appeared. After the horse received the electric shock, he jumped up and almost kicked his brother.

Although there has been danger, it has not affected the emotion of the little joules that love to experiment. He and the giggling and boating came to the lake surrounded by mountains, Joule wanted to try to test how big the echo was here. They filled the gun with gunpowder and then pulled the trigger. Who knows the "squeaky" sound, a long flame from the muzzle, burned the eyebrows of the ear, and almost scared his brother into the lake.

At this time, the sky is densely clouded, lightning and thunder, just want to go ashore to hide the rain, the Joule found that after each lightning, it will take a while to hear the thunder of the thunder, what is going on?

Joule can't hide from the rain, pull his brother to climb a hill, and use the pocket watch to carefully record the time between lightning and thunder.

After the school, Joule almost couldn’t wait to tell the teacher about his own experiments and ask the teacher.

The teacher looked at the hard-working and joking smile and patiently explained to him: "The speed of light and sound is different. The speed of light is fast and the speed of sound is slow. So people always want to see lightning and then hear thunder, but actually Lightning thunder is happening at the same time."

Joule heard the sudden realization. Since then, he has become more interested in learning scientific knowledge. By continually learning and carefully observing calculations, he finally discovered the thermodynamic equivalent and the law of conservation of energy, becoming an outstanding scientist.

Telegraph fans and reading fans - insist

Edison is a famous invention king in the world. He has invented more than a thousand inventions, such as electric lights, phonographs, and movie machines.

However, Edison, a child, had only studied for a few years because of poverty at home. When he was 12 years old, he went to the train to sell the newspaper. Can't go to school, he will teach himself.

This is true for Edison who likes to learn and explore. It is unbearable. So he thought about it and finally came up with a good way to let his father support himself to do the experiment.

One day, Edison used copper wire to set up wires on the tree, directly to his good friend's house, and left the remaining newspapers and a telegraph machine at the friend's house. When he arrives at home in the evening, his father wants to read the newspaper. Edison said that today's newspaper is sold out. At first his father was not a pity.

He can use the telegram to pass the contents of the newspaper. At this time, Edison’s father wanted to read the addiction of the newspaper, so he agreed to him.

Edison’s father was very happy to see that his son’s self-made earth telegraph machine was really useful. I thought that this child is not easy! From then on, he will never stop Edison’s evening telegraph experiment. Later, after hard work, Edison finally became a great scientist in the world.

Story three

Buffett leaves the wealth of his children

Buffett is not a born good father. When he came home from work and walked to his own study, he whistled and walked past Peter, the little son who fell to the ground. When Peter and his mother were shopping, they saw a "Father's Hand". Peter believed that his father was lacking the ability to be a father, so he encouraged his mother to buy a book. He bluntly placed it on Buffett's desk.

This situation made Buffett very worried. He deeply felt the disappointment of his children. He seriously reflected on himself and began to let life release space constantly, putting his family and his children into his own heart. Buffett began to record the growth of his children. Every year, he recorded the growth of his child and his feelings. He accumulated more than 30 books. This book later became one of Bill Gates' favorite books to read.

Buffett’s teachings to his children are most important in his cultivation of the children’s money concept and values. Buffett believes that the greatest help for parents is that "the family has a lot of money, it is better to give a child a skill." In order to help children learn to manage their finances and stay away from gambling, he installed a slot machine at home. After giving his child a pocket money, he used a slot machine to win the money back. In this way, he educated his children not to participate in gambling activities.

Another problem that plagues children is that they always wear the hat of Buffett's son or daughter, no matter where they go. When the world views their achievements, they are more likely to see the achievements of Buffett's children than Susan, Howard or Peter. Along with this kind of thinking, there will be a strong sense of frustration, and even cause children's hatred of their parents. Unlike other rich people, Buffett understands the mood of children.

When the children were young, Buffett did not ask too much, but let them do what they liked, playing mud and flowers, listening to music, watching photography, running wild in the fields, all the content of children's lives. What he did was to make the children happy as much as possible and to provide them with as many things as possible, giving them more choices.

After his son Howard failed to do business, Buffett did not want to help him, because he had to climb up because he had fallen, but he couldn’t help his wife’s repeated persuasion. Buffett bought his farm for his son Howard, but Howard must pay on time. Very high rent, otherwise the farm will immediately recover. Buffett asked Howard to accept it? Howard accepted it. A few years later, Howard's farms are booming and continue to involve different industries. Later, Howard discovered that doing business did not make him happy. He gave up business at the peak of the business and started to do photography. Now he is doing well.

In Buffett’s own opinion, the reason why he achieved some achievements is largely because he is diligent in thinking and sums up some rules. Therefore, he often warns children to have the habit of thinking, and learn to be good at thinking while diligently thinking. A few years ago, after living on the farm, Howard continued to capture market information, think about summing up, and the business is getting better and better. In his photography career, diligent thinking also benefited him. The younger son Peter often thinks about innovation, finds inspiration, and creates many touching musical works in the silence. Susan also likes to think about things that she is interested in.

When Buffett announced that he would donate 85% of his wealth, the New York Times asked Buffett if it meant that his children had lost everything. In this regard, Buffett sees it this way: living, happiness is the most important, and billions of wealth will not give people the ability and growth, but will kill your passion and ideals. In a certain sense, money is just a string of numbers. Only optimistic, confident, brave, and diligent thinking can reap a happy and rich life. Therefore, it can be said that he has given his most precious wealth to his children.
