Marie Curie, a great scientist, was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes.
Born in Poland, Marie loved science from a young age. At that time, women couldn't go to university in Poland, so she worked hard to save money and went to Paris to study. She lived a simple life—sometimes she even forgot to eat because she was too busy reading or doing experiments. Later, she met her husband Pierre, and they worked together in a small, cold
shed. For several years, they stirred(搅拌) tons of mineral ore(矿石) every day to find a new element. Finally, they discovered radium(镭). This discovery changed science a lot.
Marie had great learning methods. First, she focused on her goals. Nothing could affect her. Second, she learned by doing—she never just read books. She did experiments again and again, even when she failed. Third, she kept learning all her life. Even though she won two Nobel Prizes, she never stopped studying new things.
From Marie Curie, we learn that if we focus on our goals,
learn by practice
and never give up, we can achieve great things.
