historical conundrum
One day in 1796, at the University of Göttingen in Germany, a 19-year-old youth with great mathematical talent finished his dinner and began to do three routine math problems assigned to him by his tutor alone every day.

The first two questions were successfully completed within two hours.The third question is written on another small piece of paper: it is required to draw a regular 17-gon with only compass and a straightedge without scale.

He felt very strenuous.Time passed by every minute and every second, and there was no progress on the third question.The young man racked his brains, but he found that all the mathematics knowledge he had learned did not seem to be of any help to solve this problem.

On the contrary, the difficulty aroused his fighting spirit: I must make it!He picked up the compasses and ruler, drew on the paper while thinking, and tried to use some unconventional ideas to find answers.

When the light came out of the window, the young man let out a long sigh of relief, and he finally completed the difficult problem.

When seeing the mentor, the young man felt a little guilty and blamed himself.He said to his tutor: "The third question you assigned to me, I actually did it all night. I failed your cultivation of me..."

The tutor took a look at the student's homework and was immediately stunned.He said to the young man with a trembling voice, "Did you make this yourself?"

The young man looked at the mentor with some doubts, and replied: "I did it. But, I spent a whole night."

The instructor asked him to sit down, took out the compass and ruler, spread out the paper on the desk, and asked him to draw another 17-gon in front of him.

The youth quickly drew a regular 17-gon.The tutor excitedly said to him: "Do you know? You solved a 2000-year-old math problem! Archimedes and Newton didn't solve it, yet you solved it overnight. Are you A true genius!"

It turned out that the instructor had always wanted to solve this problem.That day, he handed the note with this question to the students because of a mistake.

Whenever the young man recalled this scene, he always said: "If someone told me that this is a mathematical problem with a history of more than 2000 years, I may never have the confidence to solve it."

This young man is Gauss, Prince of Mathematics.

The success and failure of many things often lie between one thought, and positive thinking is the key between this one thought. I believe there is nothing that cannot be done.The reason why Gauss succeeded is that he firmly believed that he had the ability to solve problems.

Throughout our lives, we've heard people tell us things like "You think you can do it, but you can't" and "You can't do it," and we tend to believe it.The people who laugh at you are always the losers, the mediocre people who get by.These voices may come from your parents, teachers, or your close classmates and friends.When they tell you to be "realistic," they don't mean any harm, they probably mean it from the heart.But their words often trigger our inner fear and anxiety, making us afraid to take risks, setting limits on ourselves, and stopping us from moving forward.But once you make up your mind and believe that it will become a reality, all your strength will be mobilized to turn the resolution into action.

Believe in your own ability, believe that you can succeed, and the possibility of success will be greatly increased.If you believe in yourself that you will fail, it will be difficult to succeed.Without self-confidence and without goals, you will be overwhelmed by others and will eventually be unknown.

Whether we will win or lose the battle, we ask the gods to help us decide. Here is a copper coin, I put it If it is thrown on the ground, if it faces up, it means that the gods have instructed that the battle must be won; if it is turned up, it means that the war will be lost."

After hearing these words, the general and the soldiers prayed devoutly, kowtowed, and asked the gods for instructions.The general threw the copper coin into the air, and when it landed, the copper coin was face up. Everyone was very excited when they saw it, thinking that the gods indicated that the war must be won.Later, when the troops moved to the front, every soldier had a high morale, and all of them were full of confidence, fought bravely, and really won the battle.After the squadron returned to the court, some generals said to the general, thank the gods for instructing us to win the battle.The general laughed loudly after hearing this: "Where should we thank the gods? We should thank this copper coin! If it weren't for it, we might not be able to win." He asked someone to pass the copper coin that he had always brought with him to the generals. I was stunned: it turns out that both sides of the copper coin are printed with the front pattern.

The young man asked: "Then, what if they are distributed to field units?"

Grandfather: "Then there are two opportunities, one is to stay on this island, and the other is to distribute to other islands. If you distribute on this island, don't worry about it!"

The young man asked again; "Then, what if it is distributed to the outer islands?"

Grandfather: "There are still two opportunities, one is the rear, and the other is to distribute to the front. If you stay in the rear unit on the outer island, it will be very easy!"

The young man asked again: "Then, what if it is distributed to the front line?"

Grandfather: "Then there are still two opportunities. One is to stand guard and leave the army safely; the other is to encounter an accident. If you can leave the army safely, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

The young man asked: "So, what if there is an accident?"

Grandfather: "Then there are still two opportunities, one is slightly injured and may be sent back to the island; the other is seriously injured and may die. If you are slightly injured and sent back to the island, don't worry about it!"

The most fearful part of the young man came. He asked tremblingly, "Then... what if we meet the latter?"

The old grandfather laughed loudly: "If you encounter that kind of situation, all of you are dead, so why worry? I have to worry, the painful scene of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man is not fun! "
