If suddenly you have problems with your studies - do not rush to get upset. In general, problems are good. By going through them, you yourself will only become better. And do not rush to give up on yourself if you got a deuce. Time always correctly dots all the “i”. It often happens that grades in a diary or a record book are not the most objective indicator of a person’s abilities. In support of our hypothesis - some of the clearest examples from history. Great people who studied poorly.
What can I say? From childhood, we are told that we need to study well, earning high marks. They also say that Santa Claus brings gifts to New Year. It turns out that both are not true. After all, the education system, like any system created by people, is imperfect. Much greater value as a result, it has the final result of personal growth, rather than a grade in the test. This article is a great incentive not to lose heart because of bad grades, but to engage in self-development. In it we will tell about scientists and not only scientists who did not study well at school, for one reason or another they could not stand study and the approach applied to it.
- . A classic example of a great scientist who did poorly in school. The man who made a revolution in modern physics, the author of The Theory of Relativity, he changed the very idea of time and space. But before that happened, young Einstein was expelled from the gymnasium for poor progress. Until the age of 3, little Albert did not speak at all, as a child he was slow. His mother hoped that her son would be able to get at least the simplest and most low-paid job. As you know, everything in the world is relative, and what, on the one hand, is called poor progress, on the other, may turn out to be the ability to think at a qualitatively different level. Albert Einstein, in addition to revolutionizing physics, also played the violin beautifully. He knew that imagination was more important than knowledge. Interesting fact: Einstein, despite the fact that he made a breakthrough in understanding the universe, believed in God and believed that the universe did not arise by chance.
- . Another person who had a tremendous impact on the world and its modern appearance. As you know, Edison is a great inventor and the author of over a thousand patents. Among his inventions are an electric incandescent light bulb, an electric meter, and a phonograph. With all this, Edison studied disgustingly at school and was always absent-minded. What is called, "flying in the clouds." After Edison was expelled from school, his mother was engaged in the education of the future genius. And, I must say, not in vain. Interesting fact: Thomas Edison created an electric car in 1899 and was actively engaged in improving his invention. Who knows what the world would look like now if Thomas hadn't had to abandon his research, as gasoline appeared, the use of which was much more cost-effective.
- . Distinguished Politician, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Laureate Nobel Prize on literature. Well, he was completely on “you” with mathematics, at school he was considered the last student in the class and entered the military college only from the 3rd time. It is known that Churchill was a great orator. At the same time, the analysis of one of his speeches using a modern program for checking school essays showed that Churchill's speech is replete with lexical errors and is too wordy. Did it interfere with the prime minister? Certainly not. Interesting fact: Churchill was the first politician to wear a tattoo. In addition, he was an avid smoker and lover of strong drinks, among which he preferred Armenian cognac. Cognac was sent to Churchill by Stalin. Once Churchill noticed that the cognac had lost its former taste, and complained about this to Stalin. It turned out that the chief technologist of the Yerevan brandy factory Makar Sedrakyan was exiled to Siberia. After Churchill's complaint, Sedrakyan was immediately returned and reinstated in the party.
- . A man of brilliant and sharp mind, a famous playwright, he really did not like school, which he left at the age of 16. Nevertheless, hard work on himself allowed Bernard Shaw to hone his talent and eventually become what he became. Interesting fact: Bernard Shaw was a vegetarian and lived to be 94 years old. At 70, he was asked - "How do you feel?", To which Shaw replied - "Fine, only I get tired of doctors who say that I will die if I do not eat meat." Answering the same question 20 years later, Bernard Shaw said, “Fine, no one bothers me anymore. All the doctors who predicted my death without meat have already died.”
- . Due to the fact that the father of the future great composer wanted to raise a second Mozart from his son, Beethoven was forced to leave school early. So he didn’t just study poorly - he didn’t study at all, one might say. However, Beethoven taught himself several languages and read extensively. Interesting fact: at the age of 27, Beethoven began to lose his hearing. In his profession, this was a disaster on a double scale. By the age of 48, Beethoven had lost his hearing completely. At the same time, thanks to the absolute inner ear, the composer was able to compose music even in such a difficult situation.
It does not matter what grades you study for - the main thing is what is in your head. Evaluation according to a common system for all can often be biased, and as we have learned, there are clear examples of this. Studying "under pressure" does not give any positive result and is most often a waste of precious time. Do not "bury" your self-esteem, do self-development, do what you love, do not hang your nose and be successful. Remember our authors- the best teachers in the country - always ready to support you.
