Chapter 14 believe in yourself the smartest

On a sunny afternoon on May 3, 2003, it was also the most dangerous moment when SARS invaded Beijing. In the Xiangjiang Club, which had been deserted for many days, there was a burst of excitement. The three deans of Microsoft Research Asia, Zhang Yaqin, Zhang Hongjiang and Shen Xiangyang met together. This time they were not discussing the direction of scientific research, but the issue of education. Their conversation was recorded by a friend.The latter has been wondering: Since most children do not start out significantly differently in their education, what forces drive them in different directions in later years?

Then everyone argued about this issue, which lasted all afternoon. Zhang Yaqin said: "The biggest difference between people is not whether they are smart or not, but how to use their smartness." Zhang Hongjiang said: "It is more important to give a child self-confidence than to give him a lot of knowledge." Shen Xiangyang said: "The most important thing is whether you can learn to respect yourself, and whether you can find out where your value lies." Three world-class scientists in the field of computer science gradually tend to a conclusion.That's the second secret of "E-Student":

Believe in yourself the smartest.
