A Story of Newton
Isaac Newton is the greatest and most gifted scientist ever.Newton was very attentive when he was engaged in scientific research and often forgot the little things in daily life.Once,when a servant who cooked for Newton wanted to go out,he asked Newton to cook the eggs himself.However,when the servant came back,he found a pocket watch was actually cooked in the pot,but the eggs were still in place.It turned out that Newton was absorbed in calculation and threw the pocket watch into the pot.
From the story we can see that to be a great scientist,you not only need a clever mind,but also you should pay full attention to what you are doing.If you want to achieve something,focus on it and be determined until you have made it.
