Story 1: Remind yourself.

An old lady sat on the side of the road and looked at a high wall not far away. She always feels that she will collapse soon. Seeing someone coming towards the wall, she kindly reminded: that wall is going to fall down, so stay away. ? She looked puzzled when the reminded person swaggered along the wall? That wall didn't fall down.

The old lady was very angry: why didn't you listen to me? Someone came again, and the old lady gave her advice. Three days passed, and many people walked by the wall without danger. On the fourth day, the old lady felt a little strange and disappointed. She couldn't help walking to the wall and observing it carefully. At this time, however, the wall collapsed, and the old lady was buried in dust and masonry and died.

It is often easy and sober to remind others, but it is difficult to remind yourself soberly at all times. So many dangers come from themselves, and the old lady's sorrow is born from this.

Story 2: Apples by the River

An old monk, surrounded by a group of devout disciples. On this day, he told his disciples to go to Nanshan to get a load of firewood. The disciples hurried to the river on the hillside, and everyone was dumbfounded. I saw the flood rushing down from the mountain, and I couldn't cross the river to collect firewood in any case. Without success, the disciples were a little depressed. There is only one young monk and master who are calm and stand opposite each other. When the master asked him why, the young monk took an apple out of his arms and handed it to the master, saying that he could not cross the river to collect firewood. When he saw an apple tree by the river, I picked the only apple on it. Later, the young monk became a descendant of the master.

There are endless roads and rivers in the world. It is also a kind of wisdom to turn around if you can't cross the river. But true wisdom still needs to do one thing by the river: fly the kite of thought and take the next one? Apple? . Throughout ancient and modern times, people who hold such a belief in life have finally achieved a breakthrough and transcendence in life.

Story 3: Simple Facts

Once upon a time, two hungry people were blessed by an elder: a fishing rod and a basket of huge fresh fish. One of them asked for a basket of fish and the other asked for a fishing rod, so they parted ways. The person who got the fish built a bonfire with dry wood and cooked the fish on the spot. He wolfed down the fish and didn't taste the meat of the fresh fish. In a flash, he ate all the fish and soup. Soon, he starved to death by the empty fish basket. The other man continued to starve with a fishing rod, and walked hard to the seaside step by step, but when he saw the blue ocean not far away, his last strength was exhausted and he could only die with endless regrets.

Two hungry people also got a fishing rod and a basket of fish from their elders. It's just that they didn't part ways, but agreed to look for the sea together. They only cook one fish at a time. After a long journey, they came to the seaside. From then on, they began to make a living by fishing. A few years later, they built a house, had their own family, children and a fishing boat made by themselves, and lived a happy and healthy life.

A person who only cares about immediate interests will eventually get short-term happiness; One should aim high, but face the real life. Only by organically combining ideal with reality can we become a successful person. Sometimes, a simple truth is enough to give people meaningful life enlightenment.

Story 4: Right hand holds left hand.

There is a popular jingle on the table: holding your wife's hand is like holding your left hand with your right hand. Whenever someone reads it out, a table of people will laugh knowingly and the atmosphere will suddenly relax. Of course, this is based on people's unanimous understanding of jingles? It feels accurate and the description is in place. One day at the dinner table, someone read this sentence again, and the men laughed as usual. Later, I found a woman at the dinner table who didn't laugh. Men are busy talking and joking. Don't take it seriously I didn't expect a woman to say seriously: this is the best? Right hand holding left hand? . First, the left hand is most trusted by the right hand; Second, the left hand and the right hand belong to one; Third, how do other hands make you happy and excited? After that, you can chop off your hand, leaving only your left hand. Without it, it's not complete, right? A table full of men admire and praise the profound and unique understanding of women. Women simply say: What is profound and unique? You might as well go back and read it to your wives and see what they say. Some brave men really went back to test their wives, and sure enough their understanding was the same as that of the ladies at the dinner table.

They are all left-handed, so men should count with their left hands. They are all right-handed, of course, they think they are right-handed.

Story 5: Choice

A farmer saved his wife from the flood, but his child was drowned. Afterwards, people talked about it. Some say he did the right thing, because a child can have another child, but his wife can't come back from the dead; Some people say that he did something wrong, because his wife can marry someone else, but the child can't come back from the dead. After listening to people's comments, I feel very confused: if I can only save one person, should I save my wife or my children?

So I visited the farmer and asked him what he thought at that time. He replied:? I didn't think of anything. My wife passed me when the flood hit. I grabbed her and swam to the nearby hillside. When I came back, the child had been washed away by the flood? .

On the way home, I pondered the words of the peasants and said to myself: The so-called "many choices in life" is like this.

Story 6: the heart of a lover

This is a true story that happened in England. A lonely old man, childless and sickly, decided to move to a nursing home. The old man announced the sale of his beautiful house. Buyers flocked to hear the news. The base price of the house was 80,000 pounds, but people quickly bid it to 654.38+10,000 pounds. Prices are still rising. The old man is deeply immersed in * * * and full of melancholy. Yes, if it weren't for his poor health, he wouldn't sell the house that has accompanied him for most of his life.

A young man in plain clothes came to the old man, bent down and whispered, Sir, I want to buy this house, but I only have 10000. However, if you sell your house to me, I guarantee that you will still live here, have tea, read newspapers and take a walk with me, and be happy every day? Believe me, I will take care of you wholeheartedly? ! The old man nodded and smiled and sold the house to him for 1 0,000.

You don't have to kill and cheat in cold blood to realize your dreams. Sometimes, as long as you have a loving heart.

Story 7: Doctor

A doctor was assigned to a research institute and became the person with the highest academic qualifications.

One day, he went fishing in the small pond behind his unit. It happened that the director and deputy director were around him and were fishing. He just nodded slightly. What are these two undergraduates talking about? After a while, the director put down the fishing rod, stretched himself and walked briskly across the water to go to the toilet. The doctor's eyes are falling: floating on the water? Really? This is a pond. When the director came back from the toilet, he also floated back from the water. What's going on here? Doctoral students are not easy to ask, they are doctoral students!

After a while, the deputy director also stood up, took a few steps and floated across the water to go to the toilet. Now the doctor almost fainted: no way, go to a place where Jianghu experts are concentrated?

Doctoral students are also very anxious. There are walls on both sides of this pond. It takes more than ten minutes to go to the toilet opposite, and it's too far to go back to work. What should I do? Doctoral students don't want to ask the two directors. After holding back for a long time, they got up and stepped into the water: I don't believe undergraduates can pass, but my doctoral students can't. The doctor fell into the water with a bang.

Two directors pulled him out and asked him why he had to go into the water. He asked: Why can you walk there? The two directors smiled at each other. There are two rows of stakes in this pond. Because it rained these two days, the water just rose below the surface. We all know the location of the stake, so we can step on it. Why don't you ask?

Education represents the past, and only learning ability can represent the future. People who respect experience can take fewer detours. A good team should be a learning team.

Story 8: Giving

An old carpenter is preparing to retire. He told his boss that he would leave the construction industry and go home to enjoy family happiness with his wife and children. The boss didn't want to let his good worker go and asked him if he could help build another house. The old carpenter agreed. But everyone can see later that his heart is no longer working. He uses soft materials and does rough work. After the house was built, the boss gave him the key to the gate. ? This is your house. He said,? My gift to you? . He was dumbfounded with shock and ashamed. If he knew he was building a house for himself, how could he do it? Now he has to live in a humble house!

So do we. We're free? Build? My life is not active, but passive. I refuse to improve everything, and I can't do my best at the critical moment. When we realized our situation, we were already trapped in what we built. House? I'm in. Imagine you as a carpenter. Think about your house. Every day you knock a nail, add a board, or erect a wall. Use your wisdom to build well! Your life is the only creation in your life, which cannot be erased and rebuilt. Even if there is only one day to live, that day should be beautiful and noble. The nameplate on the wall reads: Life is your own creation? .

Story 9: Windows

There is a wife who has been complaining about her laziness for many years. That woman's clothes can never be washed. Listen, her clothes hanging in the yard are always found. I really don't know. How can she wash clothes like this? .

It was not until one day that a discerning friend came to her house that she discovered that it was not the wife across the street who couldn't wash her clothes properly. A careful friend took a rag and wiped the gray stain on the lady's window, saying, look, isn't this clean?

It turns out that my window is dirty.

Story 10: the story of steel and glass

A farmer, who has only been in junior high school for two years, has no money to go to school at home. He dropped out of school and went home to help his father cultivate three acres of thin land. /kloc-when he was 0/9 years old, his father died, and the burden of his family was all on his shoulders. He must take care of his poor mother and grandmother who is paralyzed in bed. In the 1980s, farmland was contracted to households. He dug a puddle in the pond and wanted to raise fish. However, the village cadres told him that fish could not be raised in the paddy field, but crops could only be planted, so the pond had to be filled up. It became a joke. In others' eyes, he is a silly man who wants to get rich.

I heard that raising chickens can make money, so he borrowed 500 yuan from his relatives and raised chickens. But after a flood, the chickens got chicken plague and all died within a few days. 500 yuan may be nothing to others, but it is astronomical to a family living on only three acres of wasteland. His mother couldn't stand the stimulation and died of depression.

Later, he made wine, caught fish and even made holes in the cliffs of stone mines? But none of them made any money.

At the age of 35, he had not married. Even divorced women with children despise him. Because he has only one adobe house, it may collapse at any time after a heavy rain. No one looks down on a man who can't get a wife in the countryside.

But he still wanted to take a chance, so he borrowed money everywhere to buy a walking tractor. Unexpectedly, less than half a month on the road, this tractor carried him into a river. He broke a leg and became lame. The tractor that was salvaged has become fragments, so he had to take it apart and sell it as scrap iron. Almost everyone said that his life was over.

But later he became the boss of a company in my city, with assets of 200 million. Now, many people know his bitter past and legendary entrepreneurial experience. He has been interviewed by many media and described in many reports. But I only remember such a plot. The reporter asked him: in the days of suffering, why didn't you retreat again and again? He sat behind the big and luxurious boss's desk, drinking a glass of water in his hand. Then, holding a glass cup in his hand, he asked the reporter: What will happen to this cup if I let go? The reporter said:? Fell to the ground and broke it? . ? Then let's try. ? He said.

As soon as his hand was released, the cup fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, but it was not broken, but intact. He said:? Even if there are 10 people present, they will think that this cup will definitely break. However, this cup is not ordinary glass, but FRP. ?

Then, I remembered this classic and wonderful dialogue. Such a person, even if he has only one breath, will try to hold the hand of success unless God takes his life?
