REFLECTING(ppt 26-29)
- Did this unit cause you to change your thoughts about greatness? If so, how?
I once thought greatness is the ability to recognize the power of your own true essence, to embrace it and use it. Even if you cannot see the possibilities it doesn't mean they don't exist, but now I think greatness is giving, only by giving can we gain others’ respect and achieve our life goal.
- Will what you have learnt in this unit inspire you to improve yourself? If so, how?
It is Einstein’s perseverance that inspires me to work in my study. When faced with the failure or difficulties, he didn't give up and chose to work hard to achieve his dream. For example, he failed in the entrance exam, but he chose to study harder for another year to achieve his dream. Moreover, because he was Jewish when Hitler came into power, the door of academic institution was closed to him. But after he succeeded in moving to America, he make great achievements in physics and mathematics.
- What was the most important idea that you learnt in this unit?
The most important idea I learn in this unit is: never give up. Either Tu Youyou or Einstein is always working hard for their life goal until they succeed. Both of them have a strong belief that they can do some well if they keep trying.
