They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop their own ways of thinking. They think standard ways of teaching might stop people from being creative and having new ideas.Lesson 2: The answer might not be what you expectFind your answers from facts-not start with an expectation of what you will find. Stephen Jacobsen from Northwestern University believed what he was taught: that water on the Earth came from icy comets(封星)or planets which hit into the Earth.However, by studying a special rock, he discovered that it acts like a sponge. This suggests that the Earths water may have come from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological activities.I had a pretty hard time making others believe it, he said. But think about the fact that you may be the first person to see something for the first time that doesnt happen very often. When it does, its amazing.Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long wayYears of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agencys Philae, a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which is 480 million kilometres away. The trip from the Earth by Philae had taken ten years!The scientists had no idea what the surface of the comet would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted.When Philae tried to land, it bounced(弹起)away from the comets icy surface twice. Luckily, however, Philae landed successfully and began sending information back to the Earth.（1）Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg didnt finish college because .
