SAT寫作素材分享：成功人士
眾所周知，SAT作文喜歡偏向高大上的普世價值觀，對成功也是一再強調主觀能動性的作用，但客觀來看，確實有一些人憑借pure luck而盆滿缽滿成名立萬，大家往往只能想到盤尼西林的發現是個意外，其實這方面素材還有很多，下面就介紹一下：
1.糖精發明者：康斯坦丁法堡和伊拉雷森
時間：1879年
事情發生的經過：在研究了一整天的煤礦衍生物之后，法堡離開他約翰霍金大學的實驗室回家吃晚飯。
大發現：他吃到了某種特別甜的東西，于是他追溯到了自己手上沾到的某種化學成分而且最棒的是，這種糖精完全沒有熱量。
結果：法堡摒棄了伊拉和所在大學，偷偷申請了糖精的專利
Inventors: Constantin Fahlberg and Ira Remsen
Year: 1879
WhatHappened: After spending the day studying coal tar derivatives, Fahlberg lefthis Johns Hopkins laboratory and went to dinner。
BigDiscovery: Something he ate tasted particularly sweet, which he traced to achemical compound hed spilled on his hand. Best of all, it turned out to becalorie-free。
As a result: He cut Remsen andthe university out of millions of dollars when he secretly patented thebreakthrough discovery, saccharin.
2.橡皮泥發明者：詹姆斯懷特
時間：1943年
事情發生的經過：在戰時，通用的工程師將硅油和硼酸混合、試圖制造出能用于坦克、靴子的橡膠。
大發現：他的嘗試沒有成功，但科學家們重新設計和延伸了這項發明。
結果：孩子們開始普遍地玩橡皮泥。
Inventor: James Wright
Year: 1943
WhatHappened: During the war years, the General Electric engineer combined siliconeoil and boric acid in an attempt to find a cheap alternative to rubber for tanktreads, boots, etc。
BigDiscovery: It didnt work. But the scientists had a blast bouncing andstretching his mistake, when they werent using it to transfer comics ontopaper。
As a result: Kids had a blast playing with the SillyPutty too.
3. 口香糖發明者：湯馬斯亞當
時間：1870年
事情發生的經過：他在用chicle，一種南美洲的樹液做實驗，以尋找橡膠的替代物。在無數次失敗后，這個郁悶的發明家干脆丟了一塊到嘴里!
大發現：他居然喜歡!
結果：亞當紐約一號成為了世界上第一個大批量生產的口香糖!
Inventor: Thomas Adams
Year: 1870
WhatHappened: He was experimenting with chicle, the sap from a South American tree,as a substitute for rubber. After mounting failures, the dejected inventorpopped a piece into his mouth。
BigDiscovery: He liked it!
As a result: Adams New York No. 1 became the first mass-producedchewing gum in the world.
4.肉毒素發明者：卡盧瑟夫婦
時間：1987年
事情發生的經過：這對夫妻本來是小劑量地使用這種致命毒素來治療斗雞眼和其他眼部肌肉疾病的，而他們卻發現了藥物的一些副作用。
大發現：副作用就是，眼部周圍的皺紋都奇跡般的消失了!
結果：肉毒桿菌被大量運用于美容界，雖然注射之后會導致整張臉僵硬!
Inventors: Alastair and Jean Carruthers
Year: 1987
WhatHappened: The couple were using small doses of a deadly toxin to treatcrossed eyes eyelid spasms and other eye-muscle disorders when theynoticed an interesting side effect。
BigDiscovery: Wrinkles magically disappeared。
As a result: The expressionless face became theit look, thanks to Botox.
5.艾萬可發明者：Pfizer公司的科學家們
時間：1992年
事情發生的經過：為尋找治療心絞痛的解藥，一個威爾士小村莊被夷為平地。盡管損失巨大，科學研究卻沒有取得任何進展。
大發現：盡管沒有成功，參與研究的人員卻拒絕放棄他們的藥。
結果：科學家們把研究轉向，終于把名為Viagra投入市場，而目的卻與剛開始大相徑庭。
Inventors: Scientists at Pfizer
Year: 1992
WhatHappened: A Welsh hamlet was ground zero for a test on a pill to fight angina.Unfortunately for the afflicted, it had little success against the disease。
BigDiscovery: Though it didnt work, the men taking part in the study refused togive up their medicine。
As a result: The scientists switched gears and marketedthe drug, Viagra, for a very different purpose.
Make good use of them.
