What can we learn from the special, very
successful people in the world who make the impossible possible? Lesson 1: Ways of creative thinking are
needed Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped
out of college. They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop
their own ways of thinking. They think standard ways of teaching might stop
people from being creative and having new ideas. Lesson 2: The answer might not be what you
expect Find your answers from facts-not start with
an expectation of what you will find. Stephen Jacobsen from Northwestern
University believed what he was taught: that water on the Earth came from icy
comets(封星)or planets which hit into the Earth. However, by studying a special rock, he
discovered that it acts like a sponge. This suggests that the Earth's water may
have come from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological
activities. "I had a pretty hard time making
others believe it," he said." But think about the fact that you may
be the first person to see something for the first time that doesn't happen
very often. When it does, it's amazing."Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long way Years of planning went into a recent
achievement in space travel. The European Space Agency's "Philae", a
robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which is 480 million kilometres
away. The trip from the Earth by "Philae" had taken ten years! The scientists had no idea what the surface
of the comet would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to
get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been
wasted. When "Philae" tried to land, it
bounced(弹起)away from the comet's icy surface twice. Luckily, however, "Philae"
landed successfully and began sending information back to the Earth.(1)Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg didn't finish college because .
