from small we often crammed with myths and simplifications cerita2 miraculous by the fact that parents, teachers, and this akhir2 MOTIVATOR2 that makes us think that there is a miracle in the world and the world is like a fairy tale, there is a miracle in the world that makes everyone could be whatever they want without exception. And cerita2 are widespread and eventually many believed to be the FACT that you can use to defend themselves against the lack of self. Well, now that we're a big, then I will review some of the myth that it is actually false. Let us start from
1. The idea may just show up magically
Story: Newton discovered the theory of gravity because of the fall apple.
everyone must have heard this story from the first time to learn the gravity of time elementary school teacher / junior high school we explained excitedly how this theory is found:
on a sunny day, Newton was sitting in the yard of Cambridge university, probably while melihat2 gadis2 english enjoy the summer, when tiba2 an apple fell on his head. And EUREKA! of apple magic tiba2 out ideas about gravity and magically out the formula F = G (m1 * m2) / r2 which revolutionized science.
All Because of one silly apple,,,, and the story is often used by motivator2 to say that you can also get great ideas tiba2 that could change your life.
The truth is, the story of the apple never heard of Newton himself. Falling apple story was first found in the Elements de la Philosophie de Newton written by Voltaire, published in 1738, 11 years after Newton's death and 73 years after the disebut2 apple fell. We know that the days of old cerita2 like this are often included to increase the dramatic effect of benar2 something happen, to attract readers, of course, something that has never changed from the media. And we know that Voltaire was not a scientist, he was a philosopher, who, of course adept at dramatizing the story.
The second source is the biography of Newton by William Stukely, written in 1752 (27 years after Newton's death), within 27 years after we die, someone who could have got millions of popular myth, one of which is taken as fact.
In my opinion, this is what actually might happen. We know that Galileo Galilei start a revolution theory of gravity since the early 17th century, changing the human view that the acceleration of gravity is not affected by the weight of the object. Starting from then, all the mathematicians who are interested in gravity trying to make a new teori2 about gravity. Newton is one of them. He became interested in thinking about gravity in the end 1660an, and of research and hard work over the past 20 years (yeah 20, keep it in mind), finally in 1687 he became the first person who issued the famous theory of universal gravitation that.
So Newton was the one who thought things seriously and work hard to improve his theory, not the ordinary people who somehow got the idea because of the fall tiba2 apples and wrote his theory in a short time. Want to know how hard they work? Newton worked too hard and at the end of his life became a bit odd and eccentric. After death, an autopsy found that the body contains too much mercury, which may be due diligence work on research into alchemy. This is what might cause strange behavior in the final days.
Why cerita2 about this hard work received less attention than the story of an apple? Well, people like dramas and magic, and instant success. Everyone loves Surgery Homes and Money Shocked right?
2. Can not math? You still can be a reliable scientist!
Story: Einstein never considered stupid because they do not understand math
I often hear this excuse from teman2 after working on a math test. That childhood in Wurttemberg, Einstein often failed in mathematics and such do not understand. Looks like this is the basis for that "oh, ok, I really can not ngerjain exam earlier, but even Einstein had not either, right? so chill out, if Einstein could be an Einstein, I can also become a sejenius and successful as Einstein! "
The truth is, there never was evidence to support this claim. This story is not clear from whom and eventually evolved into the "Ripley's Believe It or Not!" And at that time Einstein was still alive, so when someone shows that column, she laughed and said,
"I never failed in mathematics. Before I was Fifteen i had mastered differential and integral calculus. "
Holy Shit. Differential and integral calculus. Horrible.
Einstein never failed math. In fact he is a math Prodigy,, mathematical genius. For all those who had high school education, all of course know the differential, and some are quite clever may also learn the concept of integral. Two concepts are very difficult, so many people do not want to enter for fear of techniques to learn more. Hell, I am a technical and I need 1 year at a university to understand what it benar2 differential and integral, and it has not entered into the multiple integrals, Stokes theorem, Gaussian surface, integrals of differential forms, ... .. ok i quit before you vomit.
Einstein to learn it all before 15 years, and before 12 years he has proved himself that the Pythagorean theorem is true, using the theory he created his own.
Whew. Age 15 years in Indonesia is the middle school. Age senang2nya bermain2, the band, going out, try memalak, cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana, a fight, so frontman, trying to dress like Kurt Cobain, Jeremy Thomas or That Girl in Meteor Garden, watching porn for the first time, and maybe masturbate. If there's integral and differential learning in life that much? I'm sure he'll be bullied by big scoundrel earnest kids and people call him, "FREAK !!!!"
I believe there has been no in between teman2 me who understands what it is differential and integral during junior high. At that time we might all still meraba2 arithmetic and basic geometry, and have never heard the word "integral" unless the name of the game Metal Gear Solid: Integral.
3. No need to school to become a successful entrepreneur who created something
Story: Bill Gates and Steve Jobs dropped out of school
Aahhh, favorite stories and business motivator2 pemberontak2 who say school is important ga ^ ^
No need to tell me here. All the people in the 21st century who could read would have never heard how long story rivals Bill Gates and Steve Jobs dropped out of school and made 2 of the most influential companies in the early 21st century.
This story is true, but usually greatly oversimplified. They forgot some important details in cerita2 it and only describe, "See, people can be successful ga college and become either one of the richest in the world." Yes. You can. But read this first.
Bill Gates is a genius. In grade 8 (approximately ages 13-14, that in Indonesia may be new SMP), Gates began programming computers at his school using BASIC language. He and three friends were employed by the Computer Center Corporation (CCC) to find bugs in their software. He used this time to learn bahasa2 FORTRAN, LISP, and machine language. At age 17, Gates make a traffic counter to use the Intel 8008.
In 1973 he took the SAT (UAN in the U.S.) and the 1590 score of 1600 (see what a genius he is, if converted into value NEM how tuh hahaha). He signed up at Harvard and in the first year he was able to create a new algorithm is very fast and become the fastest version of the algorithm that for 30 years. Armed with all this knowledge he created a company called Micro-Soft. Perhaps a childhood satu2nya more genius than that only this person:
from www.forevergeek.com
Well, for those who understand computers, the ability of him in 1973 at the age of 18 years may have exceeded engineer2 S1 graduate computer today. And that was 1973. Remember. 1973.
Rival, Steve Jobs, about the same. Left high school, he was employed by Hewlett-Packard as summer employee. And even though he quit college, he still went to college and learn kelas2 variety of things. 2 years after that, he was accepted as a technician at Atari.
With the knowledge far exceeds S1 degree like that, of course they can make something without following the lecture. They dropped out of college because they can make something big and change the world. They are geniuses with Dedication and work-hardiness.
Yup, it really does not need tinggi2 school, but with a note, you must have a skill that is much higher than high school graduates who must be nurtured from childhood. They spend the summer with fiddling with the computer. What we do at the end of a long holiday than to go play junior with teman2, read comics, play PES or Winning Eleven, courtship, the band, take a trip to Bali and mencari2 parental porn movie? (the which is pretty new and interesting at those age) ^ ^
But there are more extreme stories are often also used:
Second story: Thomas Edison dropped out of school
Edison is considered to be an idiot and only last 3 months in primary school, became a powerful businessman and scientist who discovered the light bulb, phonograph, motion picture camera, etc., make the first industrial research laboratory, patented in U.S. patent in 1093, and established that one of them still perusahaan2 survive as a big company in this period, General Electric (GE).
Seems like magic? No. Big NO.
Edison is considered an idiot because he was suffering from disorders. Some modern people define it as an ADD (ADHD-PI), but in essence he can not be silent, always ask, and rarely focus on a thing as too much that he wanted to know (Musical genius now instead of stupid?). Finally, although no school, his mother taught him at home. Edison bought buku2 like "School of Natural Philosophy" and "The Cooper Union" that his knowledge far beyond her years. This resulted in Edison's understanding of science with the breadth and depth unlike anak2 age. Edison already has an mini research lab as a child.
And the story about the discovery of the light bulb? Well, rarely do that emphasize just how hard and the weight of Edison's work for it. In fact Edison is not the first to find the light bulb, but he perfected the design and material so that the bulbs are cheap and can be used comfortably. The process covers trying different materials and designs for its light source, the process is more or less like a "trial and error" based teori2. Yup.
Edison uses more than 3000 theory to percobaan2nya. And after 2 full years of struggle have finally found the right combination. Carbonized bamboo filament. Carbonated bamboo filament.
Now, for orang2 has ever felt the research world, all would know the process. In researching something, we use several theories (read: paper), usually 2 to 4 papers and mencoba2 teori2 it for several months and possibly years. If successful lucky, if unlucky ya fail. Well, now imagine Edison who use 3000 to do research papers in 2 years. We can not read the 3000 paper in 2 years without ecstasy or cannabis and high every day. Oh, well, maybe he did That to succeed!
Good Conclusion
So after reading all the stories above, and realize that even today we can not do calculus, can not get near perfect NEM or worked at Hewlett-Packard during the junior or senior high school, whether we will surrender to fate and accept the "common man" ?
Well, you forget kata2 second largest number after the myths in this article. Kata2 second most is working hard (see? I put a lot of those). How did Newton get a theory of gravity? Working hard for 20 years. How did Gates get all his knowledge about computer? The hard work of a small computer learning. Where did Einstein get the supremacy of maths and physics? Learn mathematics from a small diligently. Where Edison invented the light bulb? 3000 theory in 2 years. Try that.
Although it probably would eliminate hal2 beribu2 pleasure our adolescence. Do we ever hear that Bill Gates is the son of fashionable slang that dressed like Marlon Brando? Or That Einstein Had many girlfriends or was a Womanizer / playboy? Surely We Never Heard Edison Smokin marijuana and get wasted. We never heard of Steve Jobs to play games every day on vacation, and Newton did not even have a wife in his life. But if you feel That the success and glory is worth the sacrifice, there's a good advice:
If you like something, anything it is, and you Dedicate your life to it, struggle hard, work hard, it will of worth something in the end.
Note: I do not recommend death for mercury poisoning. And I would not recommend forcing your child to understand the integral and differential before age 15. Do not. It would be bad for their social life and self confidence.
