A long time ago, there was a stupid man. No matter what he did, he didn't think or think. He often does stupid things to make people laugh.

Once, he cooked a pot of vegetable soup at home. Almost finished. He wanted to see if it was salty, so he took out a spoonful of soup with a wooden spoon and tasted it. The man drank a little soup and smacked his lips. It seemed a little weak, so he put the wooden spoon with the leftover soup aside and grabbed a handful of salt and sprinkled it into the pot. At this time, the soup in the pot has been salted, and the soup in the wooden spoon is the original soup. Instead of scooping another spoonful, he picked up the original spoon and tasted it. After eating it, he touched his head strangely, frowned again and said to himself, "Hey, it's obviously salty, why is this pot of soup so weak?"

So the man grabbed another handful of salt and put it in the pot, but he still didn't realize where he was wrong, so he went to taste the soup in the spoon. The soup in the spoon was naturally weak. He thought that the soup in the pot was still not enough, so he tried to add salt to the pot.

In this way, the soup in the wooden spoon has not been changed. He also repeated the process of tasting soup, adding a handful of salt to the pot, and didn't stop to think if there was a problem. A pot full of salt has bottomed out after his tossing, but he still scratched his scalp and thought: Today is really a ghost. Why is the soup in the pot still salty when the salt is almost finished?

The fool really did a foolish thing, judging the soup with salt by the soup without salt. Things always develop and change. If we always judge the overall situation through relatively rigid parts, what's the difference with this fool's mistake?

Once upon a time, there was a very poor village. Because the land is barren, crops can't grow. The villagers are very upset and don't know how to earn more money.

There is a Chishui River near the village, which flows around the village. No one knows where its source is, where it flows, and how many years it has been like this. There is an old man with a long white beard in the village, who is the oldest person in the village. He often said: "People used to say that Chishui River was formed by the tears my wife shed when she ran to the moon, and there was a necklace left by her. Over the years, the necklace fell apart and became a priceless gem, shining with black light; Whoever can catch it will make a fortune. "

There are several young people in the village who are good at water. Hearing this, they all made up their minds to go to Chishui River to find jewelry. On this day, Zhang San, Li Si and Wang Wu made an appointment to come to Chishui River together. When they jumped down, they touched it. Zhang San took a deep breath, felt east and felt west. Suddenly, his hand touched something hard. He felt very happy and thought, this must be jewelry. He stepped on the water and floated to the surface. When he saw it, it was round and shiny black. In fact, it's just a screw, but he is too focused on jewelry to think about anything else at all. So he ran home with a screw in his hand and shouted, "I found the jewelry!" " I found the jewels! "Li Si and Wang Wu touch a mussel shell, and one touches pebbles and broken tiles. Like Zhang San, they all thought they got jewelry and took it home happily.

When the villagers heard the news, they came to watch. Everyone said admiringly, "We finally got the jewels, and now we should get rich!" Only one person, Wang Xiang, saw that it was just worthless rubbish, covered his mouth with his sleeve and smiled. When the villagers saw him smile, they were all very angry: "Elephant King is really ungrateful and dares to laugh at us for wanting to get rich!" " So everyone got up and attacked them and drove the elephant out of the village.

Moral: The villagers are really stupid. They even regard garbage as fake gems. But sometimes, people who are obsessed with money will do such stupid things.

In ancient times, Qi Xuanwang, the monarch of Qi, liked music, especially listening to the flute. He has 300 musicians who are good at playing the flute. Qi Xuanwang likes to be lively and ostentatious, and always wants to show the majesty of the monarch in front of people, so every time he listens to the flute, he always asks the 300 people to play for him.

A Southland gentleman heard about Qi Xuanwang's hobby and thought it was a good opportunity to make money. He ran to Qi Xuanwang and boasted, "Your Majesty, I am a famous musician. No one who has heard me play the flute is unmoved. Even birds and animals can dance and flowers will tremble with the beat. I would like to dedicate my stunt to your majesty. " Qi Xuanwang listened happily, accepted him happily without investigation, and put him in the blowing team of 300 people.

After that, Mr. Nan Guo took the 300 people to Qi Xuanwang to perform an ensemble. Like others, he was very proud of his generous salary and remuneration.

In fact, Mr. Nanguo told a big lie, and he couldn't blow it out at all. Every time I play ball, Mr. Nan Guo is mixed in the team with a shovel in his hand. He shakes his body when people shake it. Others shook their heads, and he shook his head. His face pretends to be emotional and selfless. He seems to be as devoted as others, and really can't see any flaws. In this way, Mr. Nanguo cheated day after day and got a salary for nothing.

But it didn't last long. A few years later, Qi Xuanwang, who loved ensemble, died, and his son Min succeeded to the throne. Wang Qi also likes playing the flute, but unlike Qi Xuanwang, he thinks it's too noisy for 300 people to play together, so it's better to play solo. So King Qi Gui ordered that the 300 people should practice hard and get ready. He will let the 300 people take turns blowing their mats one by one for him to appreciate. After the musicians understood the order, they all practiced hard and wanted to show their skills. Only Mr. Nan Guo, who has just made up a few words, is as anxious as a cat on hot bricks. After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't get along any more this time, so he had to pack up and run away overnight.

An ignorant man like Mr. Nan Guo who lives by cheating can cheat for a while, but not for a lifetime. What is false is false, and eventually it can't escape the test of practice and be exposed and disguised. The way for us to succeed is to study hard. Only by practicing a perfect real skill can we stand all tests.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, a talented painter was invited to paint the King of Qi. In the process of painting, the king of Qi asked the painter, "What is the most difficult thing to draw?"

The painter replied, "It's the hardest to draw a dog or a horse. I'm not very good at it."

The king of Qi asked again, "What is the easiest thing to draw?"

The painter said, "It is easiest to draw ghosts."

"Why?"

"Because dogs and horses are familiar to people, they often appear in front of people at this moment. As long as there is something wrong with them, they will be found and pointed out, so it is difficult to draw them. Personality is difficult to draw dogs and horses in the dynamic, because they are both tangible and intangible. As for ghosts, no one has ever seen them, and there is no definite shape or clear appearance, so I can draw them at will and how I want to draw them. After painting, no one can prove that they are not like ghosts, so drawing ghosts is very easy and doesn't cost any money. "

The painter's words prove that if there are no specific objective standards, it is easy for people to "derail" and "opportunistic". Idealism is the most labor-saving, because it can talk nonsense without the test of objective reality, while materialism needs to know the test of objective reality, so it takes a lot of time.

There was a nobleman in the state of Chu who offered a pot of sacrificial wine to his guests after offering sacrifices to their ancestors. The doorman took this pot of wine and didn't know what to do with it. They think it is definitely not enough for so many people to drink a pot of wine. Might as well just give it to someone and have fun. But who should I give it to? So, the guests discussed a good idea, that is, everyone draws a snake on the ground, and whoever draws the pot of wine first will drink it. Everyone agrees with this method.

Each doorman took a stick and began to draw snakes on the ground. A person drew quickly, and in a short time, he finished painting the snake, so he brought a hip flask. Just as he was about to drink, he saw at a glance that the others had not finished drawing snakes. He proudly picked up the stick again and said to himself, "If I add more feet to snakes, they may not finish painting." While talking, I drew my feet on the painted snake.

Unexpectedly, before the man finished drawing the snake's foot, the hip flask in his hand was taken away by a person next to him. It turned out that the man had finished drawing the snake. The person who painted the snake's foot refused and said, "I'll finish painting the snake first, and the wine should be mine!" " "The man smiled and said," You are still drawing, but I have finished. Of course the wine is mine! The gild the lily argued, "I finished painting long ago." It's still early, but it's just adding a few feet to the snake. " The man said, "Snakes have no feet. Give them some feet, you can't drink anyway! " "

The man drank the wine rudely, but the gild the lily looked at the wine that belonged to him but was taken away by others at the moment and regretted it.

Some people are self-righteous, like to rock the boat and show off themselves, and the result is often self-defeating. Isn't this the way to gild the lily?
