Napoleon Was Ill
Jack had gone to the university to study history， but at the end of his first year， his history professor failed him in his examinations， and he was told that he would have to leave the university. However， his father decided that he would go to see the professor to urge him to let Jack continue his studies the following year.
"He‘s a good boy，" said Jack‘s father， "and if you let him pass this time， I‘m sure he‘ll improve a lot next year and pass the examinations at the end of it really well."
"No， no， that‘s quite impossible，" replied the professor immediately. "Do you know， last month I asked him when Napoleon had died， he didn‘t know!"
"Please， sir， give him another chance，" said Jack‘s father. "You see， I‘m afraid we don‘t take any newspaper in our house， so none of us even know that Napoleon was ill."

A friend talked about his family's great-aunt， life never wore fortable shoes， walked up and down in huge shoes. Son the younger generation if you ask her， she will say: "shoe sizes are the same price， why not buy? "
Each time I reported this story， there are always people laugh .
In fact， in real life we will see a lot of the "aunt". No writer， butwritten with thick and bitter work; no artist， but painted with Super big picture; businessmen often not at home， but have very large homes.
Many people are constantly in pursuit of huge is actually driven by the inherent greed， as if bought oversized shoes， forget your feet.
No matter what shoes to buy， fit the most important thing， no matter what， always a feast.
一位朋友谈到他亲戚的姑婆，一生从来没有穿过合脚的鞋子，常穿着巨大的鞋子走来走去。儿子晚辈如果问她，她就会说："大小鞋都是一样的价钱，为什么不买大的?"
每次我转述这个故事，总有一些人笑得岔了气。
其实，在生活里我们会看到很多这样的"姑婆"。没有什么思想的作家，偏偏写着厚重苦涩的作品;没有什么资料的画家，偏偏画着超级巨画;经常不在家的商人，却有十分巨大的家园。
许多人不断地追求巨大，其实只是被内在贪欲推动着，就好像买了特大号的鞋子，忘了自我的脚一样。
不管买什么鞋子，合脚最重要，不论追求什么，总要适可而止。

In 1899， when Einstein studied at the Swiss Federal University of Technology in Zurich， his tlltor was Minkevsky， a mathematician.
1899年，爱因斯坦在瑞士苏黎世联邦理工大学就读时，他的导师是数学家明可夫斯基。
Once Einstein asked Minkevsky， "How can a person， like me， leave his distinct footprints on the road of life and make an outstanding contribution in the scientific field?" It was a "sophisticated" problem. Minkevsky said that he had to think about it better and then gave him an answer.
有一次，爱因斯坦问明可夫斯基：“一个人，比如我吧，究竟怎样才能在科学领域、在人生道路上，留下自我的问光足迹、做出自我的杰出贡献呢?”这是个“尖锐”的问题，明可夫斯基说他要好好想一下再给他答案。
Three days later， Minkevsky told Einstein that the answer was ing! He pulled Einstein to walk toward a building site and straight set foot on the cement ground that the construction workers had just paved.
三天后，明可夫斯基告诉爱因斯坦说有答案了!他拉着爱因斯坦朝一处建筑工地走去，并且径直踏上了建筑工人刚刚铺好的水泥地。
In the workers' scolding， Einstein was confused to ask Minkevsky，"Sir， don't you lead me astray?"
在建筑工人的呵斥声中，爱因斯坦被弄的一头雾水，不解的问明可夫斯基：“教师，您这不是在误导我?”
"Right， exactly!" Minkevsky said. "Have you seen it? Only the old road surface that have long solidified and on those place that have been passed by countless steps， you cannot tread out your footprint.
“对，就是这样!”明可夫斯基说。 “看到了吧?仅有尚未凝固的水泥面，才能留下深深的足迹。那些凝固很久的老路面，那些被无数脚步走过的地方，你别想再踩出脚印。”
Hearing that， Einstein thought long and nodded significantly， Since then， a very strong sense of innovation and pioneering consciousness began dominating Einstein's thinking and action. He said， "I never memorize and reflect what dictionaries and manuals carry， for my brain only memorize those things that are not included in books." It was such a reason that Einstein left his deep sparkling footprints in the history of science.
听到那里，爱因斯坦沉思了良久，意味深长地点了点头。从此，一种强力的创新和开拓意识，开始主导着爱因斯坦的思维和行动，他说：“我从不记忆和思考词典、手册里的东西，我的脑袋只用来记忆和思考那些还没载入书本的东西。”正因如此，爱因斯坦才在科学史上留下了深深的、闪光的足迹。
