亚伯拉罕林肯的青少年时期

亚伯拉罕林肯
亲笔所写
他将为世界带来贡献
但只有上帝知道真正的时间

这些是林肯写在自己教科书上的话,当时他还只是个小男孩。在他的自传中,林肯估计他待在学校的时间总共有一年。他在印第安纳州先锋学校的老师没有任何数学课本,所以林肯自己设法查找了一些得来不易的纸张,将它们系在一起,做出了自己的「计算簿。

虽然林肯接受的正规教育不多,但他喜爱阅读,他的邻居都记得他会为了借书跋涉千里。他的部分爱书如下:「乔治华盛顿的生平及难忘事迹」 (Life and Memorable Actions of George Washington) 、「鲁宾逊漂流记」 (Robinson Crusoe) 、「天路历程」 (Pilgrim's Progress) 及「伊索寓言」 (Aesop's Fables) 。为了借书,您会走多远?


"Abraham Lincoln
his hand and pen
he will be good but
[God] knows When"

These are the words Lincoln wrote in his schoolbook when he was a young boy. In his autobiography, Lincoln estimated that his time in school totaled one year. His teachers in the pioneer schools in Indiana didn't have any arithmetic textbooks, so Lincoln found some paper, which was hard to come by, tied it together, and created his own "sum book."

Even though Lincoln had very little formal education, he loved to read, and neighbors remembered how he would walk for miles to borrow a book. Some of his favorite books included Life and Memorable Actions of George Washington, Robinson Crusoe, Pilgrim's Progress, and Aesop's Fables. How far would you go to borrow a book?
