It was in the past two centuries that a little girl read a book about the ancient Greek scholar Archimedes. Before being killed by a Roman soldier who broke into the city with a spear, he drew geometric figures in the sand and said without even looking up, "Please wait a moment, let me solve the problem ..." This story greatly touched the little girl, who vowed to devote herself to mathematics like Archimedes.
The little girl later became an excellent French mathematician and physicist, and she participated in the demonstration of the famous Fermat's Last Theorem. In view of her extraordinary performance, the French Academy of Sciences awarded her a gold medal. This is Ms. Sophie Germain.
1806, Napoleon's army swept across the European continent. When the Prussian castle was captured, the front-line officers conveyed an order to their opponents: the great mathematician Professor Gauss must be protected and no one should be allowed to harass or hurt him.
Both of them are great armies, and Archimedes and Gauss are also great mathematicians. Why are their fates and experiences completely different? Why is Gauss protected? It turned out that Sophie Germaine protected him. The frontline officer who ordered the protection of Gauss was Sophie germain's boyfriend, and it was her special trust in Gauss that kept Gauss alive.
In this world, there are always some spirits that move us. It is the elites who have devoted themselves to science and career from generation to generation, who have moved us again and again, making us pure and noble, and making our world beautiful and full of hope.

Yao Ming, who renewed his contract with the American Rockets for five years, is worth as much as $76 million. For him, an important game may make him millions of dollars.
Not long ago, Yao Ming joined the ranks of volunteers who donated hematopoietic stem cells to China Bone Marrow Bank. The reporter interviewed him for this:
"Now you are a volunteer of China Bone Marrow Bank. Is it really a donation or an image spokesperson? "
"I have signed a letter of intent. Once the matching is successful, I will donate it immediately. "
"What if you are holding an important game?"
"Is there anything more important than life?"
Is there anything more important than life? I hope this rhetorical question can arouse a kind of awakening, a kind of conscience and a kind of awe and respect for life in the hearts of those who ignore other people's lives.

Kenneth behring is one of the 400 richest people in the United States. He owns a top-class mansion, a world-class classic car and a private jet. He has everything, but he seems to lack nothing. However, great wealth did not bring him happiness.
It is a small thing that prompted Behring to change his attitude towards life. Yes 1999, a charity found him and hoped that he could take some donated items to Romania by private jet, including six wheelchairs. In a hospital in Romania, Belin helped an old man get into a wheelchair for the first time in his life. The old man in the wheelchair was moved to tears. The old man said that his wife died and he had a stroke and couldn't walk. Without a wheelchair, he can only stay in a room without sunshine forever. The old man became more and more excited. He held Bellin's hand tightly and said that now he was in a wheelchair, he could walk out of the yard and chat with his neighbors and smoke. After listening to the old man's words, Beling had mixed feelings. He thought he just helped the old man into a wheelchair, as if he had helped the old man into a happy life.
This incident ignited Belin's enthusiasm for charity. In the next few years, he frequently visited hospitals in poor countries in Africa and the world. He founded the Wheelchair Foundation in 2000. According to statistics, the Wheelchair Foundation has donated 370,000 wheelchairs to more than 130 countries around the world.
Behring is a man who knows how to get rich, just as he said in his autobiography "The Way to Get Rich": At first, I thought that making more money was the goal, but in fact, I leaned the ladder against the wrong wall and climbed to the top to find that it was wrong. But I am blessed after all. The trip to Romania changed my attitude towards life and made me understand the significance and value of dedication. Of course, this is not to get a reward, but to enjoy the happiness brought by dedication.
The ultimate goal of wealth is not to gather, but to maximize the value, to help those who need help most, and to enjoy the happiness and happiness brought by wealth. This is the real way to get rich.
