  Billy Beane is the manager of Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball. He is famous for making Oakland Athletics, an ordinary even less than ordinary team stand out among MLB. His fresh ways of operation and management become popular after the publication of Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, which was turned into a movie in 2011.

  Among the competitive MLB, Billy Beane’s team was only third grade in terms of staff, equipment or fund. However, with the help of his friend Peter, by his own unique management skills and contrary thinking, he looked and called together some baseball members who were bad-tempered or not good on surface but proficient in certain area of baseball sport.

  Of course, this move caused a great sensation and argumentation among the coaches and other managers, who forbade Billy’s members entering the field. In order to change the system, Billy sold out other members who seemed to play well, so the other managers had no choice but to let his members play.

  Regardless of criticism and question, Billy led his team to the victory and even to the degree that can compete with the strong New York Yankees.

  It was Billy’s unique management styles and the courage to fight against the old system that led his team to victory.

  Montgomery’s father was much older than his mother, so gradually the young wife became arrogant and willful due to husband’s spoil. What’s more his mother hated dirtiness very much. Therefore, in this family the young and naughty child Montgomery did not get much affection.

  After graduating from Yale in 1920 and a year of further study in Oxford, Henry Luce stepped into society. He first went to International Combine-harvester Corporate, but he was refused. Then he went to “Chicago Daily News”, yet he left office later because of the economic recession. Finally he got his luck.

  Writing does need real emotion. You need to be moved first so that you can touch others’ hearts. Whatever we do, we should focus on it and devote ourselves to it just as Dumas did. He devotes himself to his works and that is why his works turn to be classics.

  Dennis Gabor

  Dennis Gabor was a Noble Prize winner in Physics in 1971. His invention of holography made possible the realization of three dimensions of objects photographed. It enormously impelled the development of modern society.

  One of the most essential reasons that Dennis Gabor could make such a great invention was his passion for physics and the incessant efforts he made in accordance with his passion. Influenced by his father, he formed an interest in Abbe’s microscopic theory and Gabriel Lippmann’s color photography in his teenager years. He tried to build a small-scale laboratory at home with his younger brother George to conduct experiments concerning X-ray and radioactivity.

  Due to his curiosity about physics, he self studied calculus within two years before going to college. Even though he majored in electrical engineering during undergraduate years, his love for physics was unquenchable. He often went to Berlin University to listen to lectures given by physicists like Einstein, Planck, etc.

  His enthusiasm for academics, his diligence and his devotion to science guaranteed that he would not only improve himself to the most extent, but also make contributions to the society. He never stopped scientific exploration after he invented holography in 1940s. Years later he went to England and became a professor ofApplied Physicsin Imperial College London until his retirement in 1967.

  Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre

  Of course theDaguerreotypewas not easily obtained. It was the result of lots of previous exploration and efforts of predecessors. Eight centuries before Louis Daguerre, there had been an instrument that worked like non-lens camera. Then there emerged lens and the technique of silver halide emulsion.

  The most crucial discovery came fromNicéphoreNiépcewho created the technique of Judea asphalt emulsion in 1820 and successfully made the first photos. When Louis Daguerre partnered withNicéphoreNiépcein 1829, they continued to explore how photos could come out quickly and clearly. Even thoughNicéphoreNiépcedied suddenly in 1833, Louis Daguerre did not give up; he alone made plenty of experiments and subsequently invented the consequentialDaguerreotype.

  Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre (Louis Daguerre) was aFrenchartistandphysicistin the 18th and 19th century. He was originally a celebrated designer for the theatre, but best known for his invention of theDaguerreotype, which marked the birth of photography. TheDaguerreotypewas the first applicable photography technique, without which there would be no newer techniques later on.

  After the emergence of theDaguerreotype, scientists have still been working hard to improve photography. Because of it, our life has become more colorful and wonderful.

  Art Clokey

  If you love animation, you probably know Art Clokey, anAmericanpioneer in the popularization ofstop motionclay animation, who created the famous character Gumby that swept the US from 1950s till 1990s.

  His creation of clay animation was greatly influenced by his professor at theUniversity of Southern California, but before that, his artistic talent, which laid a foundation for his coming invention, was discovered and tapped byJoseph W. Clokey.

  When he was 9, his parents divorced and he lived with his mother and stepfather. Yet he was abandoned by his stepfather soon and stayed at an orphanage till the age of 12 when he was adopted byJoseph W. Clokey.Joseph W. Clokeywas aclassical musiccomposerandorganist. He schooled Art Clokey in painting, drawing, and film making while also taking him on journeys to Canada and Mexico.

  All the effortsJoseph W. Clokeymade contributed to a suitable aesthetic environment that fostered Art Clokey’s artistic sensitivity and promoted the birth ofGumby.

  From what we saw about Art Clokey’s early life, we could tell how significant a good environment was for developing children and teenagers’ talents which might decide the following professional and personal development.

  Jim Henson

  Jim Henson was an eminent American puppeteer, best known as the creator of The Muppets. He ever performed in various television programs and films. Because of his distinguished achievements, he was nominated for Oscar best film director, won Emmy Award as a television producer, and posthumously received the Disney Legends Award. Moreover, he founded The Jim Henson Company, The Jim Henson Foundation and Jim Henson's Creature Shop, reaching commercial success as well.

  The appearance of The Muppets derived from Henson’s innovative thoughts as well as his continuous pursuit for perfectness of art. It all started from his freshmen year at the University of Maryland, College Park when he was asked to create Sam and Friends, a five-minute puppet show for a TV program.

  Believing that television puppets needed to have life and sensitivity, Henson overthrew the popular way of making puppets from carved wood, but made characters from flexible, fabric-covered foam rubber so that the puppets made were able to express a wider array of emotions at a time. A marionette's arms were usually manipulated by strings, but Henson used rods to move his Muppets' arms.

  In this way, he managed to have greater control of puppets’ expression. Additionally, Henson used precise mouth movements to match the dialogue in order that the Muppet characters could "speak" more creatively rather than perform random mouth movements as previous puppets.

  His creative way enabled him to become famous soon. He was selected to participate in programs such as Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, etc., all of which turned to hits.

  Jorge Luis Borges

  Jorge Luis Borges was an Argentine writer, essayist, poet and translator. Known as Franz Kafka of the South Africa, his works have contributed to the genre of science fiction as well as the genre of magic realism, a genre that reacted against the realism/naturalism of the nineteenth century.

  Besides his talent and diligence, Jorge Luis Borges’ achievements in literature also attributed to his mother’s long-lasting support. The family of Borges had a history for blindness. During his childhood, Jorge Luis Borges did not have good eyesight already; when he grew up to be a youth, he got high myopia; coming to the age of 39, he started to be blind. Ever since, he had produced all literature works with his mother’s help.

  For thirty years, he relied on his mother’s considerate care and love. His mother not only took care of his daily life, but also patiently read books and newspapers, and recorded and sorted out manus for him. What was surprising was that at this time, his mother had been at her 70s, 80s and 90s. At an old age, she still accompanied his son to work and even go abroad for visits.

  The great love from a mother never fails. Jorge Luis Borges was just so fortunate to have a mother that supported him unconditionally. He was great in creating literature works, but his mother was greater in fostering a great writer.

  Gregor Johann Mendel

  Gregor Johann Mendel was anAustrlianscientist who gained posthumous fame as the founder of the new science ofgenetics. Mendel demonstrated that theinheritanceof certain traits in pea plants follows particular patterns, now referred as the laws ofMendelian inheritance.

  The most important reasons for Gregor Johann Mendel’s epoch-making contributions to the discipline of genetics lay in his passion for the subject, and his scientific and serious attitude towards research. For eight years, he carefully bred 22 kinds of peas that he deliberately chose for experiments.

  Usually when guests came to visit the peas, he would proudly boast: “These are my sons and daughters.” And in the eight years, he continuously conducted experiments, having precise observation, careful calculation and detailed analysis to characteristics and numbers of peas of different sorts and generations. What’s more, even when he himself knew that his research finding about genetics would be a landmark in the field of science, he repeated the experiments cautiously for some years to make it more logical and perfect before publicizing it, and also did plenty of similar studies on other plants like corns, violets and Mirabilis jalapa, by which he tried to verify the applicability of the laws of genetics on most of plants.
