Chapter 482: The Amazing Swede

Ye Chao, who has a heart of magic, can easily know the inner world of people.

Most people who have been to Sweden think that Swedes are very cold, and some even think that it may be due to the cold weather......

In fact, when you first meet Swedes, you feel that everyone is silent and very difficult to approach.

Talk to the Swedes with the homely and Kanshan attitude that the Chinese are accustomed to, and you will find yourself often in a passive and embarrassing situation.

The American scholar Anderson described the way the Swedes spoke in his book "Swedish Identity": "Usually, Swedes talk to others in a low-key and slow manner, with long pauses in between, and appear very calm. They are very good at controlling the speed of speech, and they hardly use body language. Their answers are also usually brief, and if they feel they don't have anything more important to say, they will remain silent. ”

The silence of the Swedes is not unfriendly, but rather a national way of identifying with a group, which can be understood as a culture or a habit.

Language is an expression of human nature, and the expression of the Swedes embodies four words: silence is golden. The Swedes, who are silent and silent, are telling the world that our attitude towards life is serious and rigorous.

There is such an anecdote, a few years ago, the Swedish police chief suddenly resigned, and public opinion said: "This person is too talkative during work hours, and most of them are gossip, which causes dissatisfaction among many colleagues." ”

The Swedish government is known for its integrity and integrity, and such gossip is considered unpragmatic and contrary to the government's image, so resignation is inevitable.

When it comes to life, Swedes are accustomed to putting all their energy into living, working, and thinking. If chatting is understood as a waste of time, then in the long run it is not valuing life.

The reason for the slow talk is also because the Swedes feel like what's going on around them: "It's nothing! there's nothing to make a fuss about." ”

This is inseparable from the soundness of the social security system.

In 2008, when the financial crisis dominated the world, everyone in the United States was in danger, but in Sweden, the government only saw an intense rescue operation.

In the factories and on the streets, there is no riot or panic, on the contrary, it can make people feel a touch of leisure in the calm.

The people looked calm and did not have the slightest worry.

The Swedish people's trust in the government and their dependence on the social security system are enough to allow them to deal with any crisis with confidence.

If attitude is everything, the Swedish philosophy of life is worth learning from.

In short, Ye Chao felt that they were very calm, calm, and even very free...... Of course, this is also relative to ordinary people, and the real freedom is still a lot worse than the masters.

Relatively speaking, the Swedes have a very good national attitude.

When it comes to Sweden, especially when it comes to the amazing Swedes, you can't help but think of one person...... Anyway, as soon as Ye Chao hears about Sweden, he will think of this venerable person - Nobel!

He was such a great man, and his name is still being pronounced every year all over the world, and his full name is Alfred Bernhard Nobel.

Alfred Bernhard Nobel, a Swedish chemist, engineer, inventor, manufacturer of military equipment and inventor of explosives, was born in Stockholm on October 21, 1833 and died on December 10, 1896.

During his lifetime, Nobel had 355 patented inventions and opened about 100 companies and factories in 20 countries on five continents, including Europe and the United States, and amassed a huge fortune.

In 1895, Nobel decreed that the majority of his estate (about 9.2 million US dollars) should be used as a fund, and the annual interest would be divided into five parts, and the Nobel Prize was established into five prizes: the Physics Prize, the Chemistry Prize, the Physiology or Medicine Prize, the Literature Prize, and the Peace Prize (in 1969, the Bank of Sweden added the Economics Prize), which was awarded to people from all over the world who have made significant contributions to mankind in these fields.

In honor of Nobelium's contributions, the man-made element Nobelium is named after Nobelium.

Nobel's father, Emmanuel Nobel, was an inventor who invented a boiler system for domestic heating, designed a machine for making wooden wheels, designed and built a large forging hammer, and modified factory equipment.

In 1853, Tsar Nicholas I of Russia awarded Emmanuel Nobel an exceptional medal in recognition of his achievements.

Emmanuel Nobel was a man of great interest in inventions, and Nobel's mother, Lorence Andrita Arcel, was a strong-willed and hard-working character, and the couple had a great influence on Nobel's life.

Nobel had a long-standing love for literature and wrote some poems in English in his youth. Later generations also found the beginning of one of the works he wrote in his posthumous manuscripts.

What is less known is that Nobel was also a playwright, but it was not until he was dying that his only play was copied.

Unfortunately, his works were considered "slanderous and blasphemous", and almost all of them were destroyed after Nobel's death, and only three survived. It was not until 2003 that the first surviving edition was published in Sweden.

With the exception of Esperanto, the play has not yet been translated into other languages, including English.

In his later years, he began to write, writing "In the Brightest Africa" in 1861 and in 1862

Nobel's "Sisters", two works that express his views on social reform, and the comedy "Patents for the Invention of Bacilli", written in 1895, are critical of reality, and the works are full of sarcasm and irony.

His only officially published theatrical work was The Goddess of Vengeance, written in 1895.

Nobel was deeply influenced by the English poet Shelley when he was a teenager, and because of this, he had the "Shelley dream" of wanting to be a poet.

As an adult, Nobel's love of literature was as consistent as his love of science, although he had little spare time due to his busy schedule of technical inventions and business development.

It can be said that literature and science are the two spiritual pillars of Nobel.

Nobel not only loved to read literature, but also tried to create it. He has written poems, and "A Riddle" is one of his long autobiographical poems.

Nobel also liked philosophy closely related to literature, and for the famous European and American philosophers of the time, he preferred the positivist philosophy of the British philosopher Spencer. In philosophy, he has made a list of theses and outlines that he intends to write.

Nobel had no wives and children in his life, and his love was tragic.

During his youth in Europe and the United States, Nobel had a brief affair with a French girl in Paris, but the girl died soon after.
