Complete works of life philosophy jokes and stories

A blind man went to a relative's house. After dark, his relatives kindly lit a lantern for him and said, "It's getting late. It's getting dark. Make a lantern and go home!" " The blind man said angrily, "You know I'm blind, but don't you laugh at me for lighting lanterns to show me the way?" His relatives said, "You made the mistake of limiting your thinking. When you walk on the road, many people walk on the road. If you hold a lantern, others can see you and won't hit you. "The blind man thought, yes! The first paragraph of the story tells us that limited thinking is thinking from your own point of view, and overall thinking is that you put yourself in the whole environment to consider.

If you think about the problem systematically, you will find that your behavior will interact with others.

2. Columbus' egg

After Columbus discovered America, many people thought that Columbus just happened to see it, and anyone else could do it by luck. So, at a grand banquet, a nobleman said to him, "Mr. Columbus, we all know where America is, and you just happened to go there first!" " If we go, we will find it. "In the face of criticism, Columbus was calm. He had a brainwave, picked up an egg on the table and said to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, who can stand the egg on the table? Which one of you can do it? "Everyone is eager to try, but they are defeated one by one. Columbus smiled, picked up the egg, patted it on the table and stood there. Columbus went on to say, "Yes, it's as simple as that. It is really not difficult to discover America, as easy as laying this egg. But, gentlemen, who did it before I set it up? "In essence, innovation is a welcome attitude towards new ideas, new perspectives and new changes, and it is also manifested as a new perspective. Many times, people will say, is this innovation? So I know! Innovation is that simple. The key is whether you dare to think or do.

3. Frog phenomenon

Someone has done an experiment, put a frog in a pot of hot water, and when the frog encounters drastic changes, it will jump out immediately and react quickly. But put the frog in cold water and warm it slowly, and you will find that the frog will swim comfortably in the water at first. The temperature of the water in the pot is rising slowly. It doesn't notice it, but it still feels warm and happy. Once the temperature rises to 70 ~ 80 degrees, I feel threatened and want to jump out, but it is too late. Because its legs failed, it couldn't jump any more, and finally it had to be boiled to death. This is the story of a frog boiled in warm water.

People often get hurt forever because of some ruthless deadlock. If we can all start from ourselves and start to be tolerant of others, I believe you will receive many unexpected results. Opening a window for others is to let yourself see a more complete sky.

5. the eyes of the wise

The radio station invited a business wizard as a guest host, and everyone was eager to hear him talk about the road to success. But he just smiled faintly and said, "Let's test everyone with a question." "A gold mine was discovered somewhere, and people flocked to it, but a big river blocked the only road. What would you do? " Some people say "take a detour" and others say "swim over". The business wizard smiled and said nothing. Finally, he said, "Why do you have to go for gold? Why can't I buy a boat to operate? " Everyone was shocked. The business wizard said, "In that case, even if the passengers are slaughtered with only a pair of shorts left, they will be willing." Because there is a gold mine ahead! "

Doing what others don't want to do and doing what others haven't done is the way to success. In the eyes of the wise, difficulties often mean potential opportunities.

6. Monks divide porridge

There is too much porridge, and every time a meal is served, monks flock to squeeze the poor porridge. Everyone is hungry. The monk recommended an old man to share porridge, and the person who shared porridge had the only right. In order to share more porridge, some monks began to kiss up to each other, and the relationship was thick and thin at ordinary times. People who divide porridge divide more porridge and less porridge.

The hungry monk suggested sharing porridge in turn. That's great. It's your turn to support yourself to death. Everyone else is starving.

When abbot Yunyou came back, he decided that one of the monks had full authority to share the porridge, and the others were not different, but it was also stipulated that the porridge-sharing person should take the porridge last. Since then, monks have eaten hot porridge equally.

This story tells us at least three things: ① Everything should be regulated by systems and mechanisms; (2) The system must constantly innovate and keep pace with the times; ③ A good mechanism is not necessarily complicated, and a complicated mechanism is not necessarily good.

Buy cigarettes

A went to buy cigarettes and smoked 29 yuan, but he didn't have any matches. He said to the shop assistant, "Send a box of matches by the way." The clerk didn't give it.

B went to buy cigarettes and smoked 29 yuan. He doesn't have any matches either. He said to the clerk, "It's ten cents cheaper." Finally, he bought a box of matches with his hair.

This is the simplest psychological marginal effect. The first type: the shopkeeper thinks that he has made money on one commodity and not on another. The feeling index of making money is 1. The second type: the shopkeeper thinks that both goods have made money, and the profit index is 2. Of course, psychological tendency is the second. Similarly, this kind of psychology is also manifested in the trick of buying one and getting one free. Customers think that one thing is earned without paying, but it is actually a psychological marginal effect.

Another way can often have unexpected results! Usually many things will get different results if they are done in different ways. On the road of life, it is very important to improve the mental model and way of thinking.

7. Smart boy

There is a little boy. One day, his mother took him to the grocery store to buy things. When the boss saw the lovely child, he opened a can of candy and let the little boy take a handful of candy by himself. But the boy did nothing. After several invitations, the boss personally grabbed a handful of sugar and put it in his pocket. When I got home, my mother asked the little boy curiously, why don't I grab the candy myself and let the boss do it? The little boy answered wonderfully, "Because my hands are smaller! Moreover, the boss has bigger hands, and he must take a lot more than me!

This is a clever boy. He knows his own limitations. More importantly, he also knows that others are better than himself. Learn to rely on others at the right time, not just on your own. This is modesty and cleverness.

8. The Art of Listening

Linklater, a famous American host, visited a child one day and asked him, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" The child naively replied, "well ... I want to be an airplane pilot!" " Linklater then asked, "What would you do if one day your plane flew over the Pacific Ocean and all the engines died? "The child thought for a moment:" I will tell the people sitting on the plane to fasten their seat belts first, and then I will hang up my parachute and jump out. " While the audience was laughing, linklater continued to observe the child to see if he was a self-righteous guy. Unexpectedly, then two lines of tears welled up in the child's heart, which made linklater realize that the child's sympathy was far beyond words. So linklater asked him, why did you do this? "The child's answer revealed his sincere thoughts:" I'm going to get the fuel, and I want to come back! ! ! "

This is the "art of listening". First, don't listen to half of it. Second, don't project your meaning on other people's words. Learn to listen, listen attentively and listen humbly.

9. Two monks

There are two monks living in temples on two adjacent mountains. There is a stream between the two mountains. Two monks go down to fetch water at the same time every day. Unconsciously, five years have passed. Suddenly one day, the monk on the left mountain didn't go down to fetch water. The monk on the mountain on the right thought, "He probably overslept." I don't think so. But the next day, the monk on the left mountain still didn't go down to fetch water, and so did the third day. Until a month later, the monk on the right mountain thought, "My friend may be ill." So he climbed the mountain on the left to visit his old friend. When he saw his old friend beating Tai Ji Chuan in front of the temple. He asked curiously, "You haven't carried water down the mountain for a month. Can you not drink water? " The monk on the mountain on the left pointed to a well and said, "In the past five years, I have finished my homework every day and took time to dig this well. Now, finally let me dig out the water, so I don't have to go down the mountain to fetch water, and I can have more time to practice my favorite Tai Ji Chuan. " We often forget to grasp the time after work, on the one hand, dig a well by ourselves, on the other hand, cultivate our own strength. In this way, in the future, when we are old, we still have water to drink, or we can drink it leisurely.

10. Learn to give up

There are two people who meet to look for beautiful stones on the mountain. A has a basket full, and B has only one stone that he thinks is the most beautiful. A smiled at B: "Why only choose one?" B said, "Although there are many beautiful stones, I just need to choose the most beautiful one." A smiled and said nothing. On the way down the mountain, A felt that the burden was getting heavier and heavier. Finally, he had to pick out the worst stone from the basket and throw it down. When he went down the mountain, there was only one stone left in his basket!

There will be many things worth remembering in life, and sometimes you have to learn to give up.
