Try to become not a man of success, but try rather to become a man of value.
——Albert Einstein
How do you understand it What does Einstein mean by “a man of value”
Possible answer: To be a man of value is more meaningful than to be a man of success.
How can we describe Tu Youyou
Is Tu Youyou a man of success or value Why
Possible answer: She is a man of value. Because she made a great discovery of the artemisinin which saves millions of lives worldwide.
1. What kind of person makes great discoveries
2. Which is more important for making a great discovery, talent or effort
Most great discoverers are brilliant and hard-working. Many are perfectionists who are unwilling to accept anything but the best.
I think both talent and effort are important for making discoveries. If a person doesn’t have some talent, it is possible that even though he or she works hard, it will be difficult to succeed. On the other hand, people—even those with great talent—rarely achieve anything without putting in efforts.
