Stephen Hawking, a famous physicist, was born in Britain on January 8th,1942.

However, he was not only positive about his misfortune and defeated all the obstacles but also was absorbed in his research into the universe. In 1988, his best-seller A Brief History of Time was published, in which he put forward the idea that time itself has a beginning, and that it will have an end. In conclusion, he has made outstanding contributions to the fields of cosmology and quantum gravity.

One possible version：
Facing the Trials of Life
A boy complained about difficulties in life. His Grandma, who showed that a cake tasted delicious but its materials tasted awful, taught him that the trails of life make people stronger.
From the story I have learned that the trails of life are of great importance in our growth. As the saying goes, “No cross, no crown.” Only by facing and overcoming difficulties in our life can we grow up happily and healthily.
It reminds me of my own experience when I entered senior high school. It was the first time I had lived away from my home, so I found it difficult to fit in. But the trails made it easier for me to adapt to life in senior high school, and the difficulties I came across have now become a precious memory in my life.
Life consists of not only sunshine but also hard times. We should be brave when facing difficulties. Let’s learn to use the trials of life we are facing as a stepping-stone to future success!
