Features: In their student days, everyone may have faced criticism and punishment from teachers or parents. The geniuses mentioned in this book were no exception. Edison felt insulted by a teacher's harsh criticism and left school, never returning. Churchill became a long-term failing student because he couldn't tolerate the school's cruel punishments. Additionally, Keller, who was praised by teachers for her poetry recitation, was envied by classmates and falsely accused of being the ringleader of a protest, forcing her to leave school. Etc. It can be said that many geniuses did not have a smooth student life. So, how did they later become "geniuses"? The answer is hard work and self-confidence. Although their grades were poor at the time and their family conditions were not particularly good, their school life was not happy, but because they had dreams and hope, that is, the belief of "I can do it," they eventually grew into great geniuses. Currently, among the readers here, there must be some young men and women from poor families who can't even focus on their studies, let alone afford to eat well. But they shouldn't let setbacks bring them down. Geniuses also grew up in adversity during their student days and ultimately won the world's applause. "Adversity is bitter, but the fruit it bears is sweet!" Such words are often heard, but I still hope all readers will keep them in mind. Sincerely, I hope this book can give courage to those who are studying and strengthen their determination to achieve their dreams and hopes. Everyone can become a genius!
