"I will think of it." It is easy to say this,but do you know what great things have come from thinking?
Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his garden when he saw an apple fall from a tree.He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell.He got the idea of gravity .Then he discovered how the sun,moon and stars are kept in their places.
A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire,watching the lid of the kettle move up and down.He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the lid.From that time he went on thinking and thinking.And when he became a man,he improved the steam engine so much that it could easily do the work of many horses.
James Ferhuson was a poor boy.Once,seeing the inside of a watch,he wondered, " Why should I not make a watch?" But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring(发条)?He soon found he could make it with whalebone(鲸须).He then made a wooden clock which kept good time.His motto was "I will think of it." And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.
