Some of them , in the eyes of their teachers , were day---dreamers or slow pupils . So, young men or women , if you have the same experience , don’t feel disappointed .

It is always the case that parents prefer giving more inspiring examples to encourage their children . If you take piano lessons and are not practising hard , your parents might justly complain and show you the famous picture of little Mozart in his night-shirt , playing the piano at midnight . But the fact is that he didn’t appear to have much talent for music when he was quite young . It was not until 22 that Mozart suddenly became fired with a great liking for music .

In the sciences , there have been thousands of people who showed great interest in certain subjects from their earliest years , and hundreds who had no idea of what they would do in the future . The well-known French chemist Pasteur was a disappoint to his parents because Louris did nothing but draw pictures and go fishing . Pasteur was twenty years old before he showed any interest in science . You have the Wright brothers , who showed great talents in engineering when they were quite young .
