I want some short stories
The first story: Difficulties are gifts
One day, the lion, known as the king of the forest, came to the god: "I am very grateful to you for giving me such a gift." With such a majestic and majestic physique and such incomparable strength, I have enough ability to rule the entire forest."
After hearing this, the god smiled and asked: "But this is not the purpose of why you came to me today. Come on! It seems like you are troubled by something!"
The lion roared softly and said, "God really understands me! Because even though I came here to ask for something. No matter how good I am, I am always awakened by the crowing of roosters every day. Please give me the strength to stop being awakened by the crowing of roosters!”
The god smiled and said: "Go find the elephant, it will give you a satisfactory answer."
The lion hurriedly ran to the lake to find the elephant. I didn't see the elephant, but I heard the "bang bang" sound of the elephant stamping its feet.
The lion sped up and ran towards the elephant, only to see the elephant stamping its feet angrily.
The lion asked the elephant: "Why are you so angry?"
The elephant shook its big ears desperately and roared: "There is a nasty little mosquito, always." He wanted to get into my ears, which made me itchy to death."
The lion left the elephant and thought to himself: "It turns out that such a huge elephant is still afraid of such a small one. Mosquitoes, what do I have to complain about? After all, the cock crows only once a day, but the mosquitoes harass the elephant all the time. Thinking about it this way, I am much luckier than him."
The lion. As I walked, I looked back at the elephant that was still stamping its feet, and thought to myself: "God wants me to come and see the elephant's condition, probably because he wants to tell me that everyone will encounter trouble, and it cannot help everyone. Since So, I have to rely on myself! Anyway, whenever the rooster crows from now on, I will treat it as a reminder that it’s time to get up. Thinking of this, is the rooster’s crow still good for me? ”
Warm reminder: An obstacle is a new known condition. As long as you are willing, any obstacle will become an opportunity to transcend yourself. On the road of life, no matter how smoothly we go, as long as we encounter something slightly unfavorable, we will habitually complain that God has treated us badly, and then pray to God to give us more strength to help us tide over the difficulties. . But in fact, God is the fairest, just like it is to lions and elephants, and every dilemma has its own positive value.
The second story: Success is not as difficult as you think
In 1965, a Korean student went to Cambridge University to major in psychology. While having afternoon tea, he often went to the school cafe or teahouse to listen to some successful people chatting. These successful people include Nobel Prize winners, academic authorities in certain fields, and people who have created economic miracles. These people are humorous, effortless, and see their success as very natural and logical. As time passed, he discovered that he had been deceived by some successful people in China. In order to discourage those who are starting a business, those people generally exaggerate the hardships of starting a business. In other words, they are using their own successful experiences to scare those who have not yet achieved success.
As a psychology student, he believes that it is necessary to study the mentality of successful Korean people. In 1970, he submitted "Success is Not That Difficult as You Think" as his graduation thesis to Professor Will Braden, the founder of modern economic psychology. Professor Braden was greatly surprised after reading it. He thought that this was a new discovery. Although this phenomenon is common in the East and even around the world, no one has boldly proposed and studied it before. Pleasantly surprised, he wrote a letter to his Cambridge alumnus Park Chung-hee, who at that time sat in the top position of South Korean politics. He said in the letter, "I dare not say how much help this book will have on you, but I am sure it will be more shocking than any of your decrees."
The book turned out to be true. Along with South Korea's economic take-off.
This book has inspired many people, because they tell people from a new perspective that success is not necessarily related to "working one's muscles and bones, starving one's body and skin", "lights at midnight and chickens at five o'clock", and "heads cantilevered, cones pricking buttocks" connect. As long as you are interested in a certain cause, you will succeed if you persist for a long time, because the time and wisdom God has given you are enough for you to complete one thing satisfactorily. Later, the young man also achieved success and became the president of South Korea's Panye Automobile Company.
Warm reminder: It is not that we dare not do things because they are difficult, but that things are difficult because we dare not do them. As long as you want to do many things in this world, you can do it, and any difficulties that need to be overcome can also be overcome. As long as a person continues to live a simple and interesting life, he will eventually discover that the Creator's arrangements for world affairs are all a matter of course
The third story: the pursuit of selflessness
In 1858, a wealthy Swedish family gave birth to a daughter. Soon, however, the child contracted an unexplained paralysis and lost the ability to walk.
Once, the girl and her family took a boat trip. The captain's wife told her children that the captain had a bird of paradise. She was fascinated by the description of the bird and wanted to see it for herself. So the nurse left the child on the deck and went to find the captain. The child couldn't bear to wait, so she asked the waiter on the boat to take her to see the Birds of Paradise immediately. The waiter didn't know that her legs couldn't walk, but just took her to see the beautiful bird. A miracle happened. The child was so eager that he held the waiter's hand and walked slowly away. Since then, the child's illness has been cured. When the girl grew up, she devoted herself selflessly to literary creation, and finally became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, Thelma Lagerlof.
Warm reminder: Don’t think of yourself as a mouse, otherwise you will definitely be eaten by a cat. Selflessness is a shortcut to success. Only in this environment can people transcend their own constraints and release their greatest energy.
The fourth story: Broken Arrow - If you don’t believe in your own will, you will never be a general.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a father and his son went off to fight. The father has become a general, and the son is just a pawn. Another blast of horns sounded and war drums thundered. My father solemnly held up a quiver with an arrow in it. The father solemnly said to his son: "This is a treasured arrow. It has infinite power when you carry it with you, but you must not draw it out."
It was an extremely exquisite quiver made of thick cowhide. Inlaid with a faintly glowing copper edge, look at the exposed arrow tail. You can tell at a glance that it is made from the finest peacock feathers. The son beamed with joy and greedily speculated on the appearance of the arrow shaft and arrowhead. The sound of arrows seemed to be whizzing past his ears, and the enemy's commander jumped off his horse and died.
Sure enough, the man with the treasured arrows The son is heroic and invincible. When Ming Jin's horn sounded to withdraw his troops, his son could no longer hold back the pride of victory and completely abandoned his father's instructions. His strong desire drove him to pull out his treasured arrow with a single call, trying to see what happened. Suddenly he was stunned.
A broken arrow, a broken arrow in the quiver.
I have been fighting with broken arrows! The son was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, as if the house had suddenly lost its pillars and his will suddenly collapsed.
The result is self-evident, his son died tragically in the rebellion.
After brushing away the misty smoke, my father picked up the broken arrow and spat heavily: "If you don't believe in your own will, you will never become a general."
Win the victory How stupid it is to pin one's defeat on a precious arrow, and how dangerous it is when a person hands over the core and handle of his life to others! For example, place your hopes on your children; place your happiness on your husband; place your livelihood security on your work unit...
Warm reminder: If you don’t believe in your own will, you will never be a general. You are an arrow. If you want it to be tough and sharp, if you want it to pierce the poplar with hundreds of steps and make hundreds of hits, the only one who can sharpen it and save it is yourself.
The fifth story: Try again
A young man applied for a job at Microsoft, but the company had not published any recruitment advertisements.
Seeing that the general manager was puzzled, the young man explained in poor English that he happened to be passing by and came in rashly. The general manager felt very fresh and made an exception to let him have a try. The results of the interview were unexpected, and the young man performed poorly. His explanation to the general manager was that he had not prepared in advance. The general manager thought that he was just looking for an excuse to get down the stairs, so he casually responded: "Come and try again when you are ready."
A week later, the young man walked into the door of Microsoft again, but this time he still failed. But he performed much better than the first time. The general manager's answer to him was still the same as last time: "Try again when you are ready." In this way, this young man stepped into the door of Microsoft five times, and was finally hired by the company and became the company's key training target.
Warm reminder: What is harder than stone or softer than water? But soft water penetrates hard stone, it just persists. Maybe, our life journey is full of swamps and thorns; maybe the scenery we pursue is always full of mountains and rivers, and no bright flowers can be seen; maybe, our steps forward are always heavy and staggering; maybe, we need to grope in the darkness for a long time Only time can find the light; perhaps, our devout beliefs will be entangled in the dust and mist of the world and cannot fly freely; perhaps, our noble souls cannot find a pure land in reality for the time being... Then, why can't we With the courage of a brave man, say to yourself firmly and confidently "Try again!"
Try again, and you may reach the other side of success!

The patient looked at the falling leaves in front of him, and his body was getting worse day by day. She said: "When all the leaves fall off, I will die." After an old painter learned about it, he used a colored pen to draw a leaf with green veins and hung it on a branch.
The last leaf never fell. Just because of this green patch of life, the patient miraculously survived.
Warm reminder: As long as you believe in your heart, miracles will always happen. Although hope is slim, it will last forever. Life can be without many things, but it cannot be without hope. Hope is an important value in human life. Where there is hope, life continues!

The Eighth Story: A Forever Lesson
The snowstorm that day was really violent, and there seemed to be countless crazy monsters roaring and fighting outside. Snow fiercely searched for the target of the attack, and the wind whimpered and searched everywhere.
Everyone is crying coldly, and their thoughts on reading seem to have been frozen. A roomful of stamping feet.
When Teacher Ouyang with a red nose squeezed into the classroom, the wind that he had been waiting for for a long time swept in. The "Code for Middle School Students" on the wall was rolled up into the air like a joke, and he fell down again. down.
Teacher Ouyang, who used to be very gentle, was uncharacteristically different: his face was serious and solemn and even cold, just like the weather outside.
The noisy classroom fell silent, and we looked at Teacher Ouyang in surprise.
"Please put on rubber shoes, students, let's go to the playground."
Dozens of pairs of eyes are asking.
"Because we have to stand at attention for five minutes on the playground."
Even if Teacher Ouyang threatened "If you don't attend this class, you will never attend my class", There are still a few delicate girls and a few very aggressive boys who have not left the classroom.
The playground is in the northeast corner of the school. To the north is an empty vegetable garden, and to the north is a large pond.
That day, the playground, vegetable garden and pond were connected by snow.
The basketball stand, which was much shorter, was slapped by snowballs, and the snowballs that rolled up on the ground were so choking that people could not open their eyes or open their mouths. His face felt like there were countless narrow knives being pulled and scratched, his thick clothes were like iron and ice cubes, and his feet felt like they were stepping in icy water.
We crowded under the eaves of the classroom and refused to take half a step towards the playground.
Teacher Ouyang didn’t say anything. He stood facing us and took off his down jacket and half of the sweater. Feng Xue helped him finish the other half. "Go up on the playground and stand still!" Teacher Ouyang said to us word by word with a pale face.
No one said a word. We went to the playground and lined up in three columns.
The thin teacher Ouyang only wore a white lining, and the lining tightly wrapped around him made him look even thinner.
Later, we stood on the playground in a polite manner for more than five minutes.
When they were in the classroom, the students thought they were no match for the snowstorm. In fact, they could stand up to it even if they were asked to stand for half an hour. They could also withstand it if they were asked to wear only a shirt. live.
Warm reminder: When facing difficulties, many people wear magnifying glasses, but if you struggle with difficulties, you will feel that the difficulties are nothing more than that. Like many pains in life, they are not as serious as you think. If you don't take it seriously, it won't hurt. If you feel pain, it is because you think the wound hurts and are afraid of the pain.
The Ninth Story: Eternal Ticket
There was a person who often traveled on business and often couldn't buy the right ticket. But no matter long or short distance, no matter how crowded the car is, he can always find a seat.
His method is actually very simple, which is to patiently search for them one by one. This method may not sound clever, but it works. Every time, he was ready to go from the first car to the last car, but every time he would find an empty seat without having to go to the end. He said this was because there were not many passengers like him who persevered in finding seats. There were often a few seats left in the carriage where he sat, but the aisles and joints of other carriages were actually overcrowded.
He said that most passengers were easily confused by the superficial appearance of one or two crowded carriages, and did not think carefully about the flow of people up and down through the dozen or so doors of the train during dozens of stops. There are many opportunities to provide seats; even if they think of it, they don't have the patience to look for it. Most people are easily satisfied with the small space in front of them, but some people find it not worth it to carry their luggage and squeeze around just for one or two seats. They were also worried that if they couldn't find a seat, they wouldn't even have a good place to stand. Just like some people in life who are content with the status quo and do not want to make progress and are afraid of failure, they can always stay at the starting point without success. Most of these passengers who are unwilling to take the initiative to find seats can only stand where they first landed when they got on the bus. get off.
Warm reminder: Life is funny: if you only accept the best, you will often get the best. Confidence, perseverance, foresight, and diligence in practice will give you a permanent ticket to the journey of life.
The tenth story: The stubborn stone in the heart
Once upon a time, there was a large stone in the vegetable garden of a family, about forty centimeters wide and ten centimeters high. People who go to the vegetable garden will accidentally kick that big stone and either fall or get bruised.
The son asked: "Dad, why don't you dig up that nasty stone?"
The father replied: "You mean that stone? Since your grandfather's time, , it has been there until now. It is so big that I don’t know how long it will take to dig. It’s boring to dig rocks. Why not walk carefully and train your reaction ability.”
Passed. A few years later, this big stone was left to the next generation, when the son married a daughter-in-law and became a father.
One day the daughter-in-law said angrily: "Dad, the more I look at the big stone in the vegetable garden, the more I dislike it. I'll ask someone to move it away some other time."
The father replied: "Forget it! That big stone is very heavy. If it could have been moved away, it would have been moved away when I was a child. How could it be left here today?"
The daughter-in-law felt very uncomfortable in her heart. That big stone The stone made her fall down countless times.
One morning, the daughter-in-law took a hoe and a bucket of water and poured the whole bucket of water around the big stone.
Ten minutes later, the wife used a hoe to loosen the soil around the big stone.
My daughter-in-law had already been mentally prepared. It might take a day to dig. No one expected that the stone would be dug up in a few minutes. Look at the size. The stone was not as big as expected. It was all covered by the huge stone. Appearances are deceiving.
Warm reminder: What hinders us from discovering and creating is only our psychological obstacles and stubborn stones in our thinking.
If you climb a mountain with the intention of going downhill, you will not be able to climb up the mountain. If your world is dull and hopeless, it's because you are dull and hopeless. To change your world, you must first change your own mentality.

After 7 or 8 years of hard work, she was not only able to read newspapers and literary works in English, but also translated the British novel "Seaside Clinic". When she handed over the translation of this book to the editor-in-chief of a publishing house , this veteran comrade who was over fifty years old was moved to tears and enthusiastically wrote the preface to the book: "The road stretches under the feet of a paralyzed girl".
