Story 1:

Learning ability is more important than academic qualifications

< p> There was a doctor who 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, and the director and deputy director happened to be on his left and right, also fishing. He just nodded slightly. What do these two undergraduates have to talk about? After a while, the director put down his fishing rod, stretched, and walked from the water to the opposite side to use the toilet. The doctor's eyes almost dropped. Floating on the water? No way? This is a pond. When the director came back from using the toilet, he also floated back from the water. What's going on? It's not easy for a doctoral student to ask, who is a doctoral student?

After a while, the deputy director also stood up, walked a few steps, and floated across the water to go to the toilet. At this time, the doctor almost fainted: No way, we are in a place where masters of martial arts gather?

The doctoral student was also anxious. There are walls on both sides of this pond. To get to the toilet opposite, you have to take a ten-minute detour, and it’s too far back to the unit. What should I do? The doctoral student was unwilling to ask the two directors. After holding it in for a long time, he got up and went into the water. Quan: I don’t believe that what an undergraduate student can pass, I can’t pass as a doctoral student. Just hearing a thud, the doctoral student fell into the water.

The two directors pulled him out and asked him why he wanted to go into the water. He asked: "Why can you walk over?" The two directors looked at each other and smiled: "There are two rows of trees in this pond. The stake, because it has rained and the water has risen in the past two days, is just under the water. We all know the location of the stake, so why don't you ask?"

Academic qualifications represent the past. Learning ability represents the future. Only those who respect experience will avoid detours. A good team should also be a learning team.

Story 2:

Only those who balance reality and ideals can succeed

Once upon a time, two hungry people received a gift from an elder: one A fishing rod and a basket of fresh and huge fish. Among them, one person 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 it down, and before he could taste the aroma of the fresh fish meat, he ate up all the fish and soup in an instant. Soon, he was Starve to death next to an empty fish basket. The other man carried the fishing rod and continued to suffer from hunger, walking hard step by step towards the seaside. But when he saw the blue ocean not far away, the last bit of strength in his body was exhausted. He could only pass away helplessly with endless regrets.

There were two more hungry people. They also received a fishing rod and a basket of fish from the elder. But instead of going their separate ways, they agreed to go looking for the sea together. They only cooked one fish at a time. After a long journey, they came to the seaside. From then on, the two began to fish for a living. , a few years later, they built a house, had their own families, children, built their own fishing boats, and lived a happy and healthy life.

A person who only cares about immediate interests will eventually get short-term happiness; a person has lofty goals, but he also has to face the reality of life. Only by organically combining ideals and reality can we become a successful person. Sometimes, a simple truth is enough to give people meaningful life inspiration.

Story 3:

Kindness is more precious than money

This is a true story that happened in the UK. There was a lonely old man who had no children and was frail and sick. He decided to move to a nursing home. The old man announced that his beautiful residence was for sale. Buyers flocked to the store after hearing the news. The base price of the house was ￡80,000, but people quickly fetched it up to ￡100,000. Prices are still rising. The old man sunk deeply into the sofa, his eyes full of melancholy. Yes, if it were not for his poor health, he would not have sold the house where he spent most of his life.

A young man in simple clothes came to the old man, bent down, and whispered: "Sir, I really want to buy this house, but I only have 10,000 pounds. However, if you sell the house Give it to me, and I promise that you will still live here, drink tea, read newspapers, and take walks with me, and be happy every day - believe me, I will take care of you with my whole heart!" The old man nodded and smiled. The house was sold to him for ￡10,000.

To realize your dreams, you don’t have to fight coldly and cheat. Sometimes, as long as you have a loving heart.

Story 4:

Examine yourself first before complaining about others

There was a wife who had been complaining for many years that the wife opposite was lazy, "That woman's clothes never get washed. It’s not clean. Look, the clothes she hangs out in the yard always have spots. I really don’t know how she can even wash clothes like that.”

It wasn’t until one day that an insightful friend came to her house and discovered that it wasn’t the wife opposite who couldn’t wash her clothes cleanly. The attentive friend took a rag and wiped off the dust stains on the wife's window and said, "Look, isn't this clean?"

It turned out that the windows of his home were dirty.

Story 5:

Leave some sobriety to yourself

There was an old lady sitting on the side of the road looking at a high wall not far away. She felt that it would collapse soon. When she saw someone walking towards the wall, she kindly reminded her: "That wall is about to collapse. Stay away." The wall passed - the wall did not fall.

The old lady was very angry: "Why don't you listen to me?" Someone came over again, and the old lady gave another advice. Three days passed, and many people walked past the wall without encountering danger. On the fourth day, the old lady felt a little strange and a little disappointed, so she couldn't help but walk to the base of the wall to take a closer look. However, at this moment, 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. Therefore, many dangers come from oneself, and the old lady's sorrow arises from this.

Story 6:

Timely debugging the target is also a kind of wisdom

An old monk, surrounded by a group of devout disciples. On this day, he asked his disciples to go back to Nanshan to collect a load of firewood. The disciples hurried to the river not far from the mountain and were all stunned. I saw the flood rushing down the mountain, and there was no way I could cross the river to collect firewood. The disciples returned without success and were a little downcast. Only a young monk faced the master calmly. The master asked why. The young monk took out an apple from his arms and handed it to the master. He said that he could not cross the river and could not collect firewood. I saw an apple tree by the river, so I picked the only apple on the tree. Later, the young monk became the successor of the master.

There are endless roads in the world, and there are also rivers that cannot be crossed. It is also a kind of wisdom to turn back when a river cannot be crossed. But true wisdom also needs to do one thing by the river: fly the kite of thought and pick an "apple". After looking at the past and present, people who hold on to such a belief in life have finally achieved breakthroughs and transcendence in life.

Story 7:

Hope is in your own hands, and no one can take it away as long as you don’t give up

A farmer only studied in junior high school for two years, and his family had no money. The money continued to support his education. He dropped out of school and returned home to help his father cultivate three acres of thin farmland. When he was 19 years old, his father passed away, and the burden of the family fell entirely on his shoulders. He has to take care of his mother, who is in poor health, and his grandmother, who is paralyzed in bed. In the 1980s, farmland was contracted to households. He dug a puddle into a pond and wanted to raise fish. But the cadres in the township told him that paddy fields could not be used to raise fish, but could only grow crops, so he had to fill in the ponds. This incident became a joke. In the eyes of others, he was a very stupid person who wanted to get rich.

Hearing that raising chickens could make money, he borrowed 500 yuan from relatives and raised chickens. But after a flood, the chickens contracted chicken plague and all died within a few days. 500 yuan may not seem like much to others, but to a family that only relies on three acres of thin farmland, it is an astronomical figure. His mother could not handle this stimulation and died of depression.

He later made wine, fished, and even helped drill holes on the cliffs of the quarry...but he didn't make any money.

At the age of 35, he had not yet married a wife. Even divorced women with children look down on him. Because he only has a mud house, which may collapse at any time after a heavy rain. No one in the countryside looks down on a man who cannot marry a wife.

But he still wanted to give it a try, so he borrowed money to buy a walking tractor. Unexpectedly, less than half a month after he started on the road, the tractor carried him into a river. He broke a leg and became a cripple. The tractor was picked up and was in pieces. He could only dismantle it and sell it as scrap metal. Almost everyone said his life was over.

But later he became the CEO of a company in the city where I am, with 200 million yuan in assets. Now, many people know about his troubled past and legendary entrepreneurial experience. He has been interviewed by many media and described in many reportages. But I only remember this one episode. The reporter asked him: "Why did you not flinch again and again in the difficult days?" He sat behind the large and luxurious boss' desk and drank a glass of water in his hand. Then, he held the glass cup in his hand and asked the reporter: "What will happen to this cup if I let go?" The reporter said: "It fell to the ground and broke." "Then let's try it." he said.

He let go of his hand and the cup fell to the ground with 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 an ordinary glass, but made of fiberglass."

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