Einstein’s family was a business family, and he had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child. High school opposed cramming teaching, which was so similar to our high school! So he opposed authority and asked to drop out of school. Later, Einstein applied for university in Zurich, Switzerland, and devoted himself to studying physics. To be a graduate student of a certain supervisor is to dedicate to science and become a professor of physics.
I don’t know how many young people think this way. Most of them forget when they get to university, and a small number of them become stupid after working. good.
How many people really stick to it? Not to mention, at the time of Einstein, the academic circle was more aristocratic, elite, and had serious sexism.
In the play, Einstein had to choose to live, support his family, take care of his wife and children. Even if he was working in his spare time to engage in academia, he had to sacrifice the time of his wife and friends to take care of his daily life so that he could devote himself to the construction of the theory of relativity. This soared into the sky and hit the conservative German physics community, but only at a great price.
The reason why Einstein went all the way is from his absolute confidence in his mathematical and physical abilities. This is the secret of his success, which accounts for 50% of the relationship. For example, he finally defeated the great mathematician by himself and proved his own. Mathematical General Relativity.
Therefore, doing scientific research not only requires family background, education, nanny, and friends (friends are either rich or expensive, but they can do academic research for Einstein's peace of mind and arrange Einstein's friends into the system), but also need their own perseverance. Study hard, recommend yourself, be absolutely confident, of course, these are all 50%.
The other 50% requires his own math, physical ability, or maybe, talent.
Many people have the top 50%, but not the bottom 50%. This is very bad. Sometimes they find that they are not suitable for academics, so it is very painful. Therefore, those who can do scientific research are precious people.
For example, some people do not even reach the top 50%, but in the end they still meet their dreams in another way.
For example, this one can be described by Wong Kar Wai's classic lines: If you never forget, there will be echoes.
10 years ago, I wrote this article and rewrite it 10 years later! Well, I'm 30 years old this year. I am an astronomy enthusiast from Shunqing District, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province. I am currently working at the Yunnan Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I have liked astronomy since I was a child, but I don't know when I liked it, and it has no influence at all. I can only say that I was about 6 years old. Also, until now I've been wondering why I liked astronomy? This is an unknown question! When was too young, the memory is vague. I only know about the 3rd grade of elementary school, right? I watched a popular science film "The Universe and People"
Some people said to me: "What's the use of your hobby, you won't be of any use in the future" and I said to them: "It's not of much use, but each hobby has different uses, like those of us who love astronomy. Can know what the stars in the sky are, how the earth and the universe came into being, what’s going on with total lunar eclipses, total solar eclipses, comets, etc. Even some people today still don’t know why just like those people in ancient times, they all think it’s some kind of ghost. Of course, I'm not saying that the ancients were bad. Although the ancients didn't know these things at the time, sometimes the ancients were better than our modern people in some aspects. So we can know these things and be proud of the astronomy enthusiasts.
After graduating from college, this little brother can still stick to his hobby despite the twists and turns, which is much stronger than Einstein, because life often wipes out a person's soul and makes people become walking dead. However, his hobby of astronomy has become his The fire in his heart will never go out, and it can support him to go, much stronger than most graduate students who follow a step-by-step schedule.
Work after graduation After graduating in 2013, my work was tortuous. I didn't find a job I liked, so I just found a job I didn't like. I lived like a year, and I was full of confusion about the future. Before 2018, I changed 3 jobs in a row. For the first time, I went to do chimney knocking with my cousin. Because of the unacceptable water and soil and acute gastroenteritis, I did it for 2 days. For the second job, I was going to repair the car, but I happened to meet the master who moved and helped me move for 3 months. Haha, in the end, not only did I not learn the technology, but I also paid the master's tuition fees, and my favorite astronomy book "Grand Design" , was sold by his junior, so angry that I left! The third job, working in a hot pot restaurant with my cousin, this time was relatively long, I worked for a year, and finally closed at a loss.
To be confused, so continue to work hard! During the repair of the car, I was frequently scolded by my master, all kinds of scolding! Every time I say to myself in my heart, be patient! Swallow it! Because I don't like repairing cars, I use the time to go to the toilet and rest time to concentrate on astronomy-related things every time! Every corner of the factory where you can hide, use your mobile phone to do astronomy-related things.
Similarly, hobbies also require sacrifice. In many circumstances, this is an unwise move, and the gains outweigh the losses, but this is the soul of a person.
"At that time, I had no intention of repairing the car. I said to myself every day, astronomy is the main thing, and car repairing is the supplement! Therefore, my more than 3 years of car repairing skills are not as good as the apprentice who concentrates on learning for 3 months. Inadvertently repairing the car is a waste of time! Whenever I take a break, my colleagues watch me play astronomy, and they think that I am a strange person, and they do not want to deal with me. It was the same in the past, and it is the same this time. They don't understand my world, and I don't understand their world of watching videos and playing games on Douyin."
Seeing this passage, I feel that he has been connected with Einstein's soul. For the sake of science, he can stick to himself and clean up the world. He is a spiritual powerhouse. Even if he bows his head to life during this time, he will not have the future self.
Time has finally come to an end, and my high school wishing paper in 2018 worked. Although the wish paper said: "As long as I can enter the observatory, even if I can clean the toilet!", it was much better than this. I was very excited and scared at the time. I am afraid that my family will not let me go, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do the job. I would like to thank Zhang Tiancai (also a crazy astronomy enthusiast) for what he said at the time, inspiring and persuading me to do what I want to do. In addition to the media interviews, publicity, and support from friends and family, I decided to go! Observatory work begins! In March, I came with my father, the fantasy place I once had when I was a child - Yunnan Observatory! When I met the staff of the observatory for the first time, I felt that whether it was a car repair colleague or a hot pot restaurant colleague I had contacted before, it was the same exponentially lower level! I feel that I have suddenly risen from low-level to high-level mode. In any case, it was good in every way, and at that time I was very confident to do the job well. I have worked for 3 months, I like it very much, this is the job I want, although being far from home is a disadvantage, but one can't be too greedy, and can't be too chasing perfection
This kind of sacrificing life for a dream is the same as Einstein.
The same sacrifice family and partner.
The same demands are not available.
If you really want to do scientific research, such sacrifice is necessary, even the great Einstein is no exception.
Now this little brother is an astronomy popular science blogger with nearly 4 million followers, and many people must know where he is.
Interest is the best teacher, and if you keep it in mind, there will be an echo.
