Enter the stapler of the Royal Academy

September 22, 1791, in Newington, Surrey, England, a poor family of blacksmiths. A little boy was born.

The boy was a prodigy in the eyes of his teachers because of his genius.

He was nine years old. His father died. With the family economy increasingly embarrassed, junior high school had not finished, and he had to say goodbye to the campus. Apprenticed to a private local bookshop, he was given the task of selling 500 newspapers a day. He was 13 years old that year.

It sells 500 newspapers a day. It's a tough job. But unlike other newsboys, the boy did not complain. Instead, he liked the challenging job.

He found that readers are always curious about the news they are interested in, and they also want to buy it. So he received the newspaper every day, the first time to read the news in the newspaper carefully, to be confident. Then, the 500 newspapers are classified according to the customer's preference and recommended to the buyer. This novel approach worked so well that his papers were always sold out before 11 a.m.

Although he was a poor child, he exuded the qualities of seriousness, confidence, and loyalty. The owner of the bookstore appreciated it. After he sold newspapers for half a year, the boss decided to let him learn the binding of books himself. You know, it's a lot easier and more respectable than selling newspapers. And the income is stable. For the newspaper boy. It's like pie in the sky.

Under the careful guidance of his boss, the earnest newsboy mastered the technology of binding books in less than two years. At this time, his vision is broadened, so that he is not satisfied with being a bookmaker, he also has higher pursuit.

With the support of his boss and a steady income, he took advantage of every opportunity to access books and devoted himself to studying them to make up for his lack of academic performance. In particular, the articles on electricity in the Encyclopaedia Britannica appealed strongly to him. He worked hard to put his book knowledge into practice, carrying out simple chemical and physical experiments with waste materials. He also set up a study group with electrical enthusiasts to discuss problems and exchange ideas.

By chance, he saw the news in the newspaper: the British supreme scientific authority - the British Royal College chemist Professor H. Davey wants to recruit an assistant, but the conditions are very harsh. The news excited him, for working with the famous Professor David was exactly what he had dreamed of.

With his educational background, it is impossible to achieve. But he had his way, and to set himself apart from his competitors, he came up with his exquisite bookbinding skills. Between February and April 1812, at the age of 21, he attended four chemistry lectures by Professor Davy at the Royal College.

He then carefully arranged his lecture notes and bound them into a fine book. It was called "The Lectures of Professor H. Davy," and a letter with a desire to do scientific work. It was sent together to Professor Davy on Christmas Eve, 1812. He wanted Professor David to get to know him as well as receive this unique gift.

Once again, his efforts paid off! After receiving this unexpected Christmas present. Professor David was deeply moved. He had no idea that a little-known bookbinder should have such a passion for scientific research.

That evening he wrote a letter to the stranger, thanking him for his kindness and affirming his good sense. And invited him to join his lab as his assistant.

In March 1813, the twenty-two-year-old stapler finally entered the Royal College of England, where he had long dreamed of becoming an assistant to Professor David. Later, he devoted himself to the study of electrochemistry, successfully building the world's first electric motor, and creating the law of electrolysis.

The man who entered the Royal Academy was Michael Faraday, a British physicist, and chemist who was a giant of modern science.

He who does not prepare for tomorrow will never have a future. If you've ever had a hard time, don't complain, just pile them up, and when the opportunity comes, they will become your best life experience and help you shine.
