A joke about hating the rich.

Often some people feel that their conditions are the same as or even better than those of their competitors. Why, the result is always inferior to him?

Here is a spiritual story. I hope that after reading it, you can inspire some thinking and find the answer yourself.

A young man was fishing on the shore, and an old man was sitting next to him, fishing, too. The two sat very close. Strangely, the old man has been fishing, but the young man has not harvested all day. He finally lost his temper and asked the old man, "We have the same bait and the same place. Why do you catch fish easily, but I get nothing? "

The old man calmly replied, "when I was fishing, I only knew there was me, but I didn't know there was any fish;" Not only did my hands not move, my eyes didn't blink, but my heart seemed so quiet that even the fish didn't know I existed and bit my bait; And you just think the fish didn't eat your bait, and you keep staring at the fish. When you see a fish hooked, your heart is impatient, your mood is constantly changing, and your mood is irritable. It's strange that fish won't scare you away. How can you catch a fish? "If a person can know his own shortcomings, he can win more; I only see the achievements of others, but I don't know the reasons behind my success. I have lost half; If you don't know how to review at this time and only know jealousy or self-pity, then you will lose.

In biology class.

The teacher asked, "There are two kinds of insects on a stormy island. One kind of insect has wide wings, and the other has narrow wings. Which is more suitable for living on the island? " Some students said, "Is it better to live on an island with wide wings?"? Because the wind on the island is so strong and the wings are too small, how can I fly? " The teacher smiled and said, "The bigger the wings, the greater the effect of the sea breeze on them." ? Insects with large wings will struggle when flying against the wind, and they are likely to die because of the width of their wings-they will be overturned by the violent sea breeze and fall to death on hard rocks. In contrast, insects in little wings can fly comfortably against the sea breeze, just like barracuda, fast and powerful. Don't underestimate those narrow wings, which are the most effective weapon for clever insects to overcome storms! "To think of it, isn't it? I used to admire Dapeng bird, whose wings are like clouds hanging in the sky, and the water hits three thousand miles, thinking that only such flight can be called real flight.

We don't know that when forging the wings of life, we inadvertently add a lot of materials to stop us from flying-conceit, greed, fragility and vanity. ......

3 connoisseur

I heard that there is a great connoisseur. He is a sommelier. A friend invited him to his home because he had some very old and precious wines and wanted to show this person his collection. He wanted to be appreciated by men, so he took out a bottle of the most expensive wine. The man tasted it, but kept silent. He didn't say anything. He didn't even say yes. The friend felt very hurt and then took out a very rough ordinary wine.

My friend tasted it and said, "Very, very good, very good!" " "

Collectors are confused. He said, "I'm confused. I'll give you the rarest and most expensive wine, and you keep silent. " But for this ordinary wine, it is not expensive or rough at all, but you say, "very, very good!" " "

The connoisseur said: "For the first wine, no one needs to say anything, which has explained everything;" But for the second one, someone must praise it, or it will be frustrated!

4 Zen

In the dog days, the grass in the Buddhist temple is yellow in a large area.

"Quick and some grass seeds! How ugly! " The young monk said.

"When the weather gets cold." Master waved and said, "Anytime! 」

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Master bought a bag of grass seeds and told the young monk to sow. When the autumn wind comes, the grass seeds are scattered.

"good! Many seeds have been blown away. " Cried the young monk.

"It doesn't matter, most of the blown away is empty, and it won't sprout if it is sown." The master said, "Whatever! 」

After sowing the seeds, several birds flew in to peck them.

"That's terrible! The seeds have been eaten by birds! " The young monk is out of breath.

"It doesn't matter! There are too many seeds to eat! " The master said, "No matter what happens! 」

A shower in the middle of the night, the young monk rushed into the morning spread out:

"master! This is really over! Many grass seeds were washed away by the rain! 」

"Where to send, where to send!" Master said, "Suiyuan! 」

A week has passed. On the bare ground, many green grass seedlings have actually grown. Some corners that are not sown are also green.

The young monk clapped his hands for joy.

Master nodded: "Happy! 」

Follow is not to follow, but to let nature take its course, without complaining, rashness, extravagance and importunity.

Not casually, but seize the opportunity, not pessimistic, not rigid, not flustered, not carried away.

At any time, along with nature, fate and happiness, these five principles are to cherish everything and live a relaxed and casual life. ...

Five master students

A music student walked into the practice room. On the piano, there is a brand-new music score.

"Super difficult. He turned and muttered, feeling that his confidence in playing the piano seemed to have fallen to the bottom and he was exhausted.

It's been three months, and since I followed the new guidance professor, he doesn't know why the professor cheated in this way. Reluctantly, he began to hit, hit, hit with ten fingers, and the sound of the piano drowned out the footsteps coming from the practice room and the professor.

The tutor is a very famous piano master. He gave a tune to his new student.

"Give it a try!" He said.

The music score is quite difficult, and students make many mistakes when playing.

"Not ripe yet, go back and practice!" After class, the professor told the students so much.

The student has been practicing for a week and is preparing for next week's class. Unexpectedly, the professor gave him a more difficult score. "Give it a try! The professor did not mention last week's homework.

Once again, students face more difficult technical challenges.

In the third week, more difficult music scores appeared again. The same situation continues. Every time a student is killed by a new score in class, he takes it back to practice, and then goes back to class to face the score that is twice as difficult, but he can't keep up with the progress. Because of last week's practice, they didn't feel at home at all. The students feel more and more uneasy, depressed and discouraged.

The professor walked into the practice room. The students couldn't help it any longer. He had to ask piano master why he tortured himself for three months.

The professor didn't speak. He took out the earliest first sheet of music for the students.

"hit! He looked at the students with firm eyes.

An incredible thing happened, even the students themselves were surprised. He can play this song so beautifully and skillfully! The professor asked the students to try the music score of the second class, but in spite of this, the students showed a high level. At the end of the performance, the students looked at the teacher stupefied, speechless.

"If I let you do what you are best at, maybe you are still practicing the earliest music score, and it is impossible to have such a degree now." Professor, piano master said slowly.

People are often used to expressing what they are familiar with and good at. However, if we are willing to look back carefully, we will suddenly realize that seemingly intensive work challenges and endless environmental pressures have unconsciously developed today's ability.

Because people do have unlimited potential! With such understanding and cognition, we will be more willing to face more problems in the future! This article made me realize the reasons for continuous progress, and I hope it can also encourage you to make progress!

How much horsepower does it take to drive a Cadillac?

Indians have been living in poverty since they were driven to the reservation by white people. Until one day, their luck finally changed-exploration found that there was a lot of oil under the land belonging to Indians.

As soon as the news came out, major companies flocked to buy oil exploration rights from the person in charge of the reserve at a high price. The Indian chief who became rich overnight decided to change his habit of riding a bareback horse and ordered a top Cadillac.

In everyone's eyes, the car was transported by trailer. The chief studied his new favorite seat frame for a long time and finally found a way to drive a car. The chief asked his men to bring two horses, tied the horse rope to the bumper in front of Cadillac, and the horses dragged the cart forward.

The chief rides this two-horse Cadillac every day and patrols the surrounding Indian villages.

You know honor and disgrace when you are warm. The officer with a car is learning English again, and wants to be a person who can keep up with the times.

After he knew a little English, one day he opened the operation manual attached to the car on a whim. I just don't watch. At first glance, the director could not help flying into a rage.

It is clearly stated in the original operation manual that this Cadillac has 260 horsepower. The chief suddenly understood. No wonder he always thought that although this car was advanced, it still couldn't run as well as his old carriage. So that's the problem. This cart needs 260 horses to make the monster run fast. I think: those people are dishonest in business, and they even detained the donated horses.

The chief who knows a little English immediately wrote a fierce protest letter and sent it to the car company, demanding compensation for the horses he deserved.

Cadillac received this inexplicable letter, although it didn't understand what it meant, but it didn't dare to neglect its customers, and immediately sent a Commissioner to understand the situation.

The Commissioner went to the Indian chieftain's reserve and was even more puzzled when he saw a Cadillac with two horses tied to its bumper. The chief was furious and asked him why he didn't bring 260 horses at the same time.

After a long struggle, the Commissioner of the automobile company entered the situation slightly and asked the chief, "Where are the keys to this car?"

The chief shook his head and replied, "What key? I have never seen it. "

The Commissioner sighed with a smile, took off the horse on the bumper, asked the chief to sit in the back seat, then took out the car key from the box, inserted it into the keyhole and gave it a slight twist. The 260 horsepower contained in the engine immediately rumbled with the low exhaust pipe.

The Commissioner nodded to the officer, pulled down the gear, lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the tire made a sound of rapid friction with the ground. This big car started at 260 horsepower for the first time and ran at full speed.

After reading this story and hiding a smile, have we ever thought about the inner potential of each of us, have we found the key that is enough to turn on all the horsepower, and how much horsepower are we using to start our Cadillac?

7 stories about time and love

Once upon a time, there was an island where happiness, sadness, knowledge, love and other emotions lived.

One day, the emotions learned that the island was about to sink, so everyone prepared a boat and left the island. Only love stayed, and she wanted to hold on until the last moment.

After a few days, the island is really sinking, and I want to find someone to help.

At this time, Fuyu passed by in a big boat.

Love said, "Wealth, can you take me away?"

Richness replied, "No, there is a lot of gold and silver in my boat, and there is no place for you."

Love saw vanity on a gorgeous boat and said, "vanity, help me!" " "

I can't help you. You are soaked to the skin, and you will ruin my beautiful boat. "

Sadness came, and love wanted her to ask for help: "Sadness, let me go with you!" " "

"Oh ... love, I'm so sad, I want to be alone for a while!" Sadness replied.

Happiness passed by love, but she was too happy to hear love calling her!

Suddenly, a voice came: "Come here! Love, I will take you away. "

This is an elder. Love was overjoyed and forgot to ask his name. After landing, the elder walked away alone.

Love was very grateful to the elder. She asked another elder knowledge, "Who is that person who helped me?"

"He is time." The knowledge old man replied.

"Time?" Love asked, "Why did he help me?"

The old man smiled: "Because only time can understand how great love is."

8: 00 pm to 10: 00 pm

There is a famous entrepreneur in Taiwan Province Province, Chen Maobang, whose speeches often move all the audience. In particular, his memory of numbers is better than others, and he knows the area, population, national income and trade volume of China and other countries in the world like the back of his hand.

In fact, Chen Maobang only graduated from elementary school, but he received an honorary doctorate in business from St. Norhope University in the United States. How did a person with only a primary school education get an honorary doctorate?

Let's see how he studies. Chen Maobang dropped out of school at the age of fifteen and worked as a clerk in a bookstore. He works from morning till night every day 12 hours. But after work, reading became his enjoyment, and the bookstore became his study, sitting or lying down, letting him travel. After a long time, he got into the habit of reading for at least two hours every night. He worked in a bookstore for eight years and studied for eight years.

Chen Maobang said with deep understanding: "Remember this sentence: a person's fate is decided between 8 pm and 10."

What a person has learned in college is very limited. Moreover, science and technology are advancing by leaps and bounds, and knowledge and information are constantly updated. Only learning can give people continuous motivation. If you are not good at learning, not only will the knowledge you lack not be supplemented, but the knowledge you once mastered will also be outdated. In the long run, it will inevitably be eliminated by society.

9 Napoleon and Schindler *

Napoleon, Schindler, they all lived vigorously. In a sense, they are also a generation of heroes, but they have no good results and are doomed. Even given another chance, they can't escape this fate.

Similarly, people like Napoleon and Schindler are not uncommon in the workplace. They don't discuss things with others, like to make their own decisions, give orders at random and act arbitrarily, which is superior to managers at the same level, even bosses and organizations. Maybe he thinks he is very powerful, maybe he can win for a short time, maybe he will be complacent about his unique management courage ... but in any case, he will not change the fate of failure in the end!

Anyone who is unfortunately infected with this disease is very dangerous, and it is very harmful to himself, others and the whole group.
