Eating sugar for the first time (sweet feeling is happiness)

A Tibetan cadre named Tashi Dawa asked others to guess what was the happiest moment in his life, but no one could guess. He said, "That was the first time I ate fruit candy."

It was a day in the early spring of 1950. Tashi Dawa, then a serf, was grazing and met a young team. Each of them has a dazzling red five-star on his hat. He was very scared, but the soldiers were very friendly. A soldier his age gave him a fruit candy. This is an ordinary sugar. He didn't know what it was, but the soldier drew a piece of paper and put it in his mouth to eat. He dared not eat it, so he held it in his arms.

After what happened, I dare not say anything, because the serf owner knew to gouge out his eyes and cut his tongue. In the dead of night, he secretly took out this piece of fruit candy, peeled off the paper and put it on his mouth and licked it gently. God, a feeling I have never experienced spreads all over my body, and there are such wonderful things in the world. He licked it again, almost suspecting that he was dreaming. He cherished it, took it out and licked it at a certain time, and it took him a long time to finish eating the sugar.

Tashi Dawa, who later became a senior cadre in Xizang Autonomous Region, didn't know how much sugar he ate or how proud he was, but only this time he ate sugar, which made him feel the deepest and happiest.

Lin Juemin's farewell letter (happiness for the whole world is the greatest happiness)

Lin Juemin is one of the seventy-two martyrs in Huanghuagang. He comes from a rich family. In order to overthrow the feudal rule of the Qing Dynasty, he abandoned his wife and children, left a happy family and joined the revolution. For the sake of national prosperity and national rejuvenation, he participated in the Guangzhou Uprising led by Sun Yat-sen. Unfortunately, he was shot and injured when attacking the Governor's Office, and was arrested, and finally died.

Lin Juemin made full preparations for sacrifice before the uprising. Three nights before the attack on the governor's office, he wrote a farewell letter to his father and his wife respectively. The letter to my father wrote: "My son is dead, but I am tired of the hardships of adults. My sister-in-law lacks food and clothing and ears. However, it is of great benefit to my compatriots all over the country. " The letter to his wife wrote: "Since I met you, I have been wishing all lovers in the world all shall be well. However, there are red clouds everywhere, and the streets are full of wolves and dogs. How many can be satisfied? ..... I love you and help the whole world to love what they love, so I dare to die before you, regardless of you. You care about my heart, and when you cry, you care about the world. You should also be willing to sacrifice your and my welfare for the happiness of the world. " Lin Juemin wrote this letter with deep attachment to his beloved wife. From this, we can see the noble feelings of a revolutionary, and sacrificing personal happiness for the happiness of the world is the greatest happiness.

Du Lang pursues happiness (happiness exists in every detail of life).

In our world, the most elusive thing is the deliberate pursuit of happiness. American writer William? Du Lang once described how he sought happiness. He first sought happiness from knowledge and got only disillusionment; Looking for it from travel, all you get is fatigue; Looking for wealth, all you get is struggle and sorrow; Looking for it from writing, all you get is fatigue. One day, however, he came out of the station and saw a young woman sitting in a car with a sleeping baby in her arms. A middle-aged man got off the train and went straight to the carriage. He kissed his wife and kissed the baby gently-for fear of waking him up. Then the family drove away. At this moment, Du Lang was surprised to find out what true happiness is. He breathed a sigh of relief happily and understood that every normal activity in life carries some kind of happiness.

Every detail of life actually carries some kind of happiness. That shallow kiss contains her husband's care and her father's love, but this small detail is full of the most detailed interpretation of human feelings. Can you say that your wife was unhappy when she accepted that kiss? Can you say that the baby doesn't feel taken care of? That's what happiness is called. You don't need any magic formula, just your emotional input. Give a sleeping child a loose quilt, and pulling the quilt hand is the way to summon happiness; Knocking on the tired lover's back, up and down, elastic fist is the way to summon happiness; Tell an old joke to my parents who are getting old quietly. Smooth airflow is the most powerful way to summon happiness. When you use these methods to summon happiness, aren't you the happy person in the world at this moment?

There is happiness when there is love (Yan Ni's view of happiness)

The love between Marx and his wife Yan Ni is an enduring story. Yan Ni is a great woman. For love, she left a rich family and lived a poor life with Marx. During his exile in London, his family lived on potatoes for several weeks. There is no firewood to make a fire in severe winter, and there is no money to call a doctor when you are sick. He can't afford the rent, and his iron bed, bedding and clothes, and even his daughter's toys and children's bassinets are mortgaged. Marx wrote Critique of Political Economy, but he didn't have the postage to send the manuscript to Berlin. Children have to drop out of school because they can't afford tuition. The child died of illness and had no money to buy a coffin for burial ... In the face of such a bad day, Yan Ni didn't complain or leave. On the contrary, she is always full of confidence in life because there is love in her life. She once proudly said, "The day when I sat in Carl's room and copied his scribbled articles was the happiest moment in my life."

Xu Xiake's Adventure (Happiness in the Struggle)

1586 (in the 14th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty), a little boy was born in Jiangyin County, Jiangsu Province. He is a famous traveler and geographer Xu Xiake in the history of China.

From the age of twenty-two, Xu Xiake began a hard journey and an adventurous life until one year before his death. For more than 30 years, he braved difficulties and obstacles, waded through mountains and rivers, slept in the wind, and traveled to Putuo, Zhejiang in the east, Hebei in the north, Fujian and Guangdong in the south, the top of Huashan in the northwest, and Yunnan and Guizhou in the southwest, covering 16 provinces at that time. Although he was robbed three times and deprived of food four times, he almost lost his life, but Xu Xiake never regretted it. He made a comprehensive and systematic investigation on the topography, landform, hydrology, climate and vegetation where he went. Years of hard practice have finally yielded fruitful results. Xu Xiake's Travels enjoys a lofty position in the history of world science and technology with its vivid style.

1636, when Xu Xiake was preparing to March to the southwest, he was discouraged because he was over half a year old, but he said decisively: "I have a hoe on my shoulder. Where can't you bury bones? " Xu Xiake devoted his life to geographical research. In his later years, he still felt a little sorry. He thought that he could not travel all over the mountains and rivers of the motherland, not to Kunlun Mountain, but to more remote places to further explore the mysteries of nature. Perhaps those who dissuade him will never understand why he is so persistent because field trips are so difficult and dangerous. Why doesn't he know how to enjoy life Only Xu Xiake knows that his ideal is lifelong struggle, and the process of struggle is the process of enjoying happiness.

Confessions of corrupt officials (greed is the starting point of misfortune)

Happiness is created by hard-working hands. If you want something for nothing, you will only go to the abyss of evil, so greed is often the starting point of misfortune. Look at the confessions of these two corrupt officials:

Xu Bingsong (former vice chairman of the People's Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, accepting bribes of 550,000 yuan, sentenced to life imprisonment in August,1999);

In the 1970s and 1980s, I lived a poor life and worked as hard as ordinary people. With the deepening of reform and the widening of distribution gap, my psychology is becoming more and more unbalanced. Being in a leading position and in power will inevitably lead to a scene of reciprocal exchange, and the ideological defense line will gradually collapse. From resisting and refusing, it turned into escaping, and then by luck, I gradually felt at ease and completely lost my resistance.

Zhong (former president of China Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Fujian Branch, accepting bribes equivalent to RMB 2.05 million, the source of huge property of RMB 49 1.48 million was unknown, and he was sentenced to death in June 2000);

Being in the financial system, I have witnessed some people taking advantage of the transformation from planned economy to market economy to seize valuable resources such as land, labor and means of production and get rich quickly. I also see that others have accumulated huge wealth by relying on relationships in the "dual track system" of means of production, which has shaken my political confidence and lost my direction in life. I want to quit my old job gradually and start my own business. Many private business owners like me. I took money from several of them and ended up in prison.

Carnegie's charity (giving back to society is happiness)

/kloc-Andrew, the American "steel king" in the 0/9 th century? Carnegie controlled a quarter of the national steel production in 1892, with an annual profit of more than 20 million dollars. From 65438 to 0900, his company's annual income was as high as 40 million dollars. This year, he published a monograph "The Gospel of Wealth", which systematically put forward the idea of establishing charity. Moreover, he also practiced and became the spokesman for promoting the western charity concept. Since 189 1 donated a concert hall to new york, Carnegie has continuously donated great halls, concert halls, art galleries, museums and libraries to various places. In terms of library construction alone, Carnegie invested120,000 US dollars in 16 and set up 3,500 libraries, benefiting people from all walks of life. 1895, he donated money to establish Carnegie Pittsburgh College, 1902, Carnegie Washington College, 1903, The Hague Peace Building, 1904, American Heroes Fund, 1905, Retirement Fund for Senior Professors,/

Carnegie got rich benefits from society and owned huge assets, but he was not satisfied because it was not a happy life. Only when he returns these wealth to society and makes contributions to society, is he the happiest.

I hope I can help you.
