Recently, I have seen a lot of nutritional "scientific chicken soup" information materials from TikTok.He had previously learned the wisdom of Fermi and a number of international scientific tycoons, as well as lectures given at the opening or graduation ceremonies of some of the world's leading university presidents.Recently, I focused on the introduction of Chinese scientists such as Chen Shaojie, Li Chengdu, Yang Zhenning, and Qiu Chengtong about their own growth experiences.We often say, "Old people eat more salt than young people eat more rice, and walk more bridges than they walk," just to describe the rich experience of the elderly.Moreover, the experiences of these scientific giants are extraordinary, and if we young scholars can combine their actual combination of these scientific and educational chicken soup materials will provide a steady stream of wisdom and strength for their growth.Therefore, we would like to thank the relevant people for their timely interviews to leave behind these precious scientific images and intelligent materials.It can be said that "the predecessors planted trees and the next generation took advantage of the coolness", we need to pass on the excellent scientific quality of the predecessors from generation to generation, which must be of great benefit to our young scholars.
Recently watched a reporter interviewed Mr. Qiu Chengtong video, the reporter asked: you think to have a big achievement, genius, diligence or opportunity, these things are the most important?He replied: Of course, hard work is the most important thing.At the same time, he expounds the profound significance of a person's cultural cultivation to scientific research with his own personal experience.He said, "The inspiration comes because you have accumulated a lot of experience, and after that experience has reached a certain point, it has a resonance, and [you] can know the problem."There is no genius in the world, inspiration can not come for no reason, learning to break through the accumulation of time.Mr. Qiu Chengtong's words are the most appropriate interpretation of the relationship between "genius and hard work".There are always some people in our society who have a strong "genius complex", which has led to some interest-driven "genius cultivation" training institutions, which is obviously a serious misleading for the healthy growth of talent.
In my decades of university education and scientific research experience, I have always firmly believed in the basic principles of "natural reward" and "diligence to compensate for bad work" for the healthy growth of our children.In the Science Chicken Soup Report "Do Your Own Scientific Research", I briefly explained the logical relationship between "diligence and inspiration luck opportunity" by taking the reading as an example of the impact of scientific research.I said that with the exception of very few intelligent people, most of us are people with average intelligence.Moreover, a person's intelligence mainly comes from a little good genes of his parents, and it still needs to be diligently "nourished" to "develop" the good genes.The pedigree theory of "dragon and dragon, mouse and son can make holes" is bound to fail in the process of talent growth, and some of the mediocre people in the younger generation of scientific cattle are strong critics of pedigree theory.
I take the example of A and B, who are of similar age but have different family backgrounds, a well-off and well-educated family, such as the children of Kochi family, and B, who are poor, such as me and many children from ordinary rural families.Obviously, if A and B are engaged in similar fields of scientific research, for example, if they read similar volumes of literature, the scientific information and understanding obtained through these documents must be higher than B.Even if B reads twice as many documents as A or more, because A's talent is higher and his ability to predict information and development in the field is stronger, he will still get more scientific information than B.However, if intelligent A is overconfident in his academic attitude based on his superior family conditions, then when humble and hardworking B reads 10 times or more of A's literature, B with a large amount of literature information in a wide range of fields will surpass "self-righteous A."In our traditional Chinese culture, "stupid birds fly first", "diligence can compensate for bad work", and "Tian Tao remuneration" will make B go farther and more solid than A on the road of scientific research.For example, when two people are assumed to be working in similar fields a few years later, B may be helped by "déjà vu" information from previously read volumes of literature (both general and precise), and A, who thinks he's smart, must be ignorant.I often say that the "understanding" of smart people is also limited, we often use "intelligent anti-intelligence" is to criticize those who play tricks on smart people is this reason.
Some educators like to highlight the importance of a person's "talent", such as Mr. Hua Luogeng, a mathematician with only a junior high school degree, but never promote Mr. Hua's hard work and research experience.In fact, I often wonder, who is qualified and capable of identifying or judging juvenile geniuses?Edison's famous motto, "Genius is ninety-nine percent sweat and one percent inspiration," is in line with what this article began to mention Mr. Qiu Chengtong, and I agree.
The annual Spring Festival is coming soon, I give ScienceNet users and editors and related service managers a New Year's bow, wish you a happy Spring Festival!Happy family! Happy working life!
