Operability: ★★★☆ Difficulty factor: ★★ Keywords: details
There was an empty flowerpot on the balcony. Dad wanted to plant a cucumber on a whim, so he and the child started to do it.Looking for soil, borrowing popular science books, learning planting skills, etc., a small cucumber took two people to do the preparation work for two days.Finally, on an auspicious day that grandpa was optimistic about, the cucumber seeds were planted, and then there was a long wait.

Sprouts, a surprise for the family; growing taller, a sense of accomplishment growing; spreading leaves, the best gift the child received... Cucumbers need a shelf, and the child wandered around the park for a long time before finding a few dead branches, excited Placed next to the pot.

"We have to make a growth note for this little guy, otherwise we don't know if he is lazy and not growing tall after eating and drinking every day." Dad made a suggestion.

"Okay, I'm going to draw a table." In this way, the child designed a simple and clear table: the number of forks, the number of leaves, the presence or absence of diseases and insect pests, and the growth distance of the main stem are all clear at a glance.

"Dad! The cucumber has grown by 0.5 centimeters today!" This cry is no less than that of Archimedes who ran out of the bathtub and shouted that he had discovered the law of buoyancy.Scientists are cultivated slowly in this way.

Alfred Bernhard Nobel was born in Stockholm, Sweden.He was weak since he was a child, and he only went to school for one year. At the age of 9, he moved to St. Petersburg, Russia with his father Emmanuel. At that time, they first arrived in Russia penniless and empty-handed.But fortunately, Dad has a lot of technical strength and practical solutions-Emanuel is a researcher of explosives.

While in Sweden, he began to study land mines and mines.After arriving in Russia, he proposed this proposal to the Russian military, hoping that they would finance his production, but no one helped him.But this did not affect his unremitting efforts to improve his invention, and he finally got funding from the Russian government.

Nobel was deeply moved by the career his father was engaged in. Whenever there was an opportunity, his father also asked Nobel to visit the factory and explain the knowledge and power of explosives to them.Nobel and his two older brothers were full of unfamiliar terms. After returning home, Nobel began to read various books, especially books on the basic principles of scientific research, and books on mechanics, physics, and chemistry. I want to make myself understand the strange things my father said quickly.

He often went to the factory to find his father, and sometimes brought back gunpowder to make fireworks for fun.He imitated his father's invention and tried to make his own landmines.He made a breakthrough in the game, from playing gunpowder to researching explosives, and took an important first step for his future explosives career, and his father has always been by his side, researching and summarizing with him.

Once, Nobel developed gunpowder similar to fireworks and lit it in the yard.After being seen by his father, he happily said to the child: "You have mastered the ratio very well this time, but remember that it is best to give a little less nitrate next time." He really came over and told him how to master the proportions. These details became invaluable "academic" guidance in the research stage of Nobel's childhood.

In 1850, when Nobel was 17 years old, his father decided to send him to various European countries and the United States to meet the world, and at the same time inspect the status quo and progress of machinery and chemical engineering in European countries and the United States.Four years had passed when Nobel completed his studies and returned to St. Petersburg.

The "father of modern dynamite" and the founder of the Nobel Prize, the largest award in the field of modern science and literature, slowly stepped onto the stage in this way.

The dream of many children is to become a scientist, but they do not have a father like Nobel or Qian Sanqiang.But not all great scientists are "hereditary". There are actually many things that fathers can do when their children are just exposed to science and are fully interested and curious about things.A father who pays attention to details can easily raise a scientist, because scientists are often people who pay attention to details.

When a child is staring at an ant engrossed, don't disturb him; when the child concentrates on touching the flowers and plants in nature, don't scold him; every scientist comes out of curiosity and seeking knowledge, Let children feel the beauty of science from life, and their potential will be stimulated.Here are some tips for dads too:

1. Paying attention to details does not mean demanding details.Just like you only need to let the child start to pay attention to how the cucumber grows, instead of making the child feel guilty because the cucumber grows slowly.

2. If the child is always careless about everything, then you have to find a way to make him suffer because of carelessness.It is an eternal truth to learn a lot from a ditch. Only when a child suffers a lot can he have a long memory.

3. Those dads who are not detailed: dads who don’t have any specific arrangements and plans for their work, dads who don’t realize when their wives get angry, dads who always forget their family’s birthdays, dads who always forget family members Messy dad.These characteristics show that you are not a detail-oriented talent, which means that you still need to cultivate your ability to pay attention to details.

Some people say that "there is a devil in the details". Not only do children need to pay attention to details, but we also need to invest in details in everything we do.An expert is someone who pays attention to details.Therefore, if you are not a detail-oriented person, Dad, you must "stand in line" again, not only changing yourself, but may even change your child's future.
