But according to legend, a long time ago, they were not in the same temple, but were in charge of different temples.

Maile Buddha is enthusiastic and happy, so many people come, but he doesn’t care about anything, he is careless, and does not manage the accounts well, so he still cannot make ends meet. Although Wei Tuo was a good accountant, he had a gloomy face and was too serious all day long, which led to fewer and fewer people, and finally the incense was cut off.

The Buddha discovered this problem when he was checking the incense, so he put them both in the same temple. Maitreya Buddha was responsible for public relations and welcomed guests from all directions with a smile, so the incense flourished. However, Wei Tuo was selfless and meticulous, so he was asked to be responsible for the finances and strictly control them. Through the division of labor and cooperation between the two, the temple was thriving.

Since most people did not know that he could eradicate the cause of the disease in advance, his reputation could not be spread; the middle brother treated the disease at the beginning of the disease. Most people think that he can only cure minor illnesses, so his fame is only limited to his hometown. And I treat patients when their condition is serious.

Whenever someone reads: Familiar or unfamiliar people at the table will laugh out loud knowingly, and the atmosphere will immediately relax. Of course, this is based on everyone's unanimous understanding of the jingle - it feels accurate and the description is spot on.

One day at the dinner table someone recited this jingle, and the men laughed heartily as usual.

Later I discovered that a woman at the dinner table was not smiling. The men were busy saying that they were just joking and should not be taken seriously. Unexpectedly, the woman said seriously: The best thing is that "the right hand holds the left hand." First, the left hand is the most trustworthy by the right hand; second, the left hand and the right hand belong to each other; third, the other hands can be called whatever they want. You are so happy and excited that you can shake off your hands afterwards. Only your left hand is left. If you shake it off, you will be disabled, right? All the men at the table admired the woman and praised her for her profound and unique understanding. The woman said lightly: What is so profound and unique? If you are unique, you might as well go back and read it to your respective wives and see what they say.

Sure enough, the bolder men went back to test their wives. As expected, the wives all had the same understanding as the ladies at the table.

They are both left-handed, so of course men think in terms of their left hand.

And they are both right-handed, so of course they think in terms of their right hand.

Short Story 11. Choice

A farmer rescued his wife from the flood, but his child drowned. Afterwards, some people said that he did the right thing. Because the child can have another child, but the wife cannot die and be resurrected. Some people say that he made a mistake, because the wife can have another child, but the child cannot die and be resurrected.

I listened to people's comments and agreed. I was confused: If I could only save one person, should I save my wife or my child?

So I visited the farmer and asked him what he thought at the time.

He replied: "I didn't think anything of it. When the flood hit, my wife passed by me, so I grabbed her and swam to a nearby hillside. When I returned, the child had been swept away by the flood. ”

On the way home, I thought about the farmer’s words and said to myself: This is how many choices in life are.

Short Story 19, Habit and Nature

A small pillar and a thin chain can tie an elephant weighing a thousand kilograms. Isn’t this ridiculous? ? But this ridiculous scene can be seen everywhere in India and Qin. Those mahouts, when the elephant was still a baby, tied it to a cement or steel pillar with an iron chain. No matter how hard the baby elephant struggled, it could not break free. The baby elephant gradually gets used to not struggling, and when it grows into an elephant and can easily break away from the chain, it does not struggle either.

The tiger tamer was as successful as the elephant tamer. He kept the tiger on a vegetarian diet until it grew up. Tigers don't know the taste of meat, so they won't hurt people. The fatal mistake of the tiger tamer was that after he fell, he let the tiger lick his blood on the ground. The tiger couldn't take it away and finally ate the tiger tamer.

He did not comment on these answers: "Actually, this is just an incomplete end. You ask me why I have achieved brilliant results. The reason is simple: I don't do things perfectly. , Just like drawing a full stop, I must leave a gap for my subordinates to fill it.”

Leaving a gap for others does not mean that one is not strong in ability. In fact, this is a kind of management wisdom, a kind of overall perfection at a higher level.

Twenty-one, Horses

Horses originally roamed freely in the mountains. They would drink from the mountain springs when they were thirsty, and sleep on the ground to bask in the sun when they were tired. They were carefree.

But since the arrival of Bole, the horse's fate has changed. If you put a bridle on its head, put a saddle on its back, and tie it, the horse's mortality rate is already 23 out of 10, and then again Force it to transport things, force it to travel thousands of miles a day, and nail its feet with iron shoes, and the death rate of the horse will be more than half. The horse is originally an animal with no rules and no use. Let it absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, the aura of the heaven and the earth, and be useless and do nothing. You can still enjoy the whole life of the horse, educate it, and make it understand the etiquette, but it will harm its life.

Aren’t people like this? Under the constraints of rules, have we also lost our identity, followed the etiquette and justice set by others all day long, and forced ourselves to do things we don’t want to do? How much is left in our limited life?

Life in the pagoda is really happy. It can not only travel between the floors at will, but also enjoy rich offerings. It even enjoys privileges that others cannot imagine. It can chew the unknown secrets at will; it can rest freely on Buddha statues that people dare not look at. When it rises, it can even leave some excrement on the head of the Buddha statue. .

Whenever the faithful men and women burn incense and kowtow, this mouse always looks at the intoxicating smoke rising slowly. It sniffs fiercely and laughs secretly in its heart: "Ridiculous human beings, The knees are so soft, I just kneel down!”

One day, a very hungry wild cat broke in and caught the mouse.

"You can't eat me! You should kneel down to me! I represent the Buddha!" ??protested the noble captive.

Which one should I buy? Both have bright coats and are very flexible and cute. The man was spinning around, unable to make up his mind.

As a result, I suddenly found an old and toothless parrot with dull and messy fur, priced at 800 yuan.

The man quickly called the boss: Can this parrot speak eight languages?

The shopkeeper said: No.

This man was surprised: Then why is he old, ugly, and incompetent worth this amount?

The shop owner replied: Because the other two parrots called this parrot Boss.

This story tells us that a true leader does not necessarily have to be very capable. As long as he knows how to trust, delegate power, and cherish, he can unite with forces stronger than himself, thus increasing his worth. .

On the contrary, many people with very strong abilities are too perfectionistic and have to do everything by themselves. No one is as good as themselves. In the end, they can only be the best researchers and sales representatives, and they cannot become excellent leaders.

Twenty-four, the story of the steel glass cup

A farmer only studied in junior high school for two years, and his family had no money to continue 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 had to take care of his mother, who was in poor health, and his grandmother, who was 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 from everywhere to buy a 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 that 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 one episode--

The reporter asked him: "Why did you not flinch again and again in the difficult days?"

He was sitting in a spacious and luxurious The boss behind the desk finished the 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."

< p>"Then let's try it." He said.

As soon as he let go of his hand, 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 all think that this cup will definitely break. However, this cup is not an ordinary glass, but made of fiberglass."

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

Twenty-five, opportunities

A is When I work as a white-collar worker in a joint venture company, I feel that my ambition is not appreciated by my superiors. I often think: If only I could meet the boss one day and have the opportunity to show off my talents! !

A’s colleague B also had the same idea. He went a step further and asked about the boss’s commuting time and calculated when he would probably get into the elevator. He also went to take the elevator at this time, hoping that If you can meet the boss, you can say hello if you have the opportunity.

Their colleague C went a step further. He learned about the boss’s struggle in detail, found out the school where the boss graduated, his interpersonal style, and the issues he cared about. He carefully designed a few simple but meaningful opening remarks, took the elevator at the planned time, and said hello to the boss several times. Finally, I finally had a long talk with the boss one day, and soon I got a better position.

Learning experience: Fools miss opportunities, wise people seize opportunities, and successful people create opportunities. Opportunities only come to those who are prepared. The word preparation is not just talk.

Twenty-six, Madmen and Idiots

A psychology professor visited a lunatic asylum to learn about the living conditions of madmen. At the end of the day, I felt that these people were crazy and acted unexpectedly, which was an eye-opener.

Unexpectedly, when I was about to return, I found that my tire had been removed. "Some lunatic must have done it! The professor thought angrily and took the spare tire to install it.

The matter was serious. The person who put off the tire actually took out all the screws. No screws were prepared. The tire can't get up!

The professor was at a loss. When he was in a panic, a madman jumped over and sang an unknown happy song. He found the professor in trouble. , stopped and asked what happened.

The professor was too lazy to pay attention to him, but told him out of courtesy.

The madman laughed and said: "I have a way! He removed a screw from each tire so that he could get three screws to install the spare tire.

The professor was surprised and grateful, and was very curious: "How did you come up with this method?"

The madman laughed happily: "I am a madman, but I am not an idiot. Ah! ”

In fact, there are many people in the world who, because they have discovered the joy of work, will always show enthusiasm that is different from ordinary people, which is difficult to understand. While many people are laughing at them as lunatics, others may still be laughing at them as idiots.

Learning experience: Being dull and smart in doing things is a good attitude especially in China.

Twenty-seven, Doctorate

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 flew across the water to the opposite side to use the toilet.

The doctor’s eyes were so wide open that they almost fell off. 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 am I a doctoral student?

After a while, the deputy director also stood up, walked a few steps, and floated across the water to the toilet. At this moment, the doctor almost fainted: "Isn't it possible? We are in a place where masters of martial arts are gathered?"

The doctoral students are also anxious. There are walls on both sides of this pond. To get to the toilet on the opposite side, you have to take a ten-minute detour, and it's too far back to your workplace. What should you do?

The doctoral student was unwilling to ask the two directors. After holding it in for a long time, he stood up and stepped into the water: I don’t believe that the water surface that undergraduates can cross is not something that I, a doctoral student, can cross.

With 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 wooden piles in this pond. Since it has rained and the water has risen in the past two days, we all know the location of the wooden piles, so why don’t you ask?”

< p>Study experience: Academic qualifications represent the past, while only learning ability represents the future. Only those who respect experience will avoid detours.
