Stories and jokes that change your mind

Lead: By reading stories and jokes, people can understand the truth and grow up. The following are stories and jokes that I compiled to change my mind. Welcome to read the reference.

0 1. Blind people play with lanterns.

A blind man went to a relative's house. After dark, his relatives kindly lit a lantern for him and said, "It's getting late. It's getting dark. Make a lantern and go home!" " The blind man said angrily, "You know I'm blind, but don't you laugh at me for lighting lanterns to show me the way?" His relatives said, "You made the mistake of limiting your thinking. When you walk on the road, many people walk on the road. If you hold a lantern, others can see you and won't hit you. "The blind man thought, yes!

This story tells us that limited thinking is thinking from your own point of view, and overall thinking is that you put yourself in the whole environment to consider. If you think about the problem systematically, you will find that your behavior will interact with others.

02. Columbus's egg.

After Columbus discovered America, many people thought that Columbus just happened to see it, and anyone else could do it by luck. So, at a grand banquet, a nobleman said to him, "Mr. Columbus, we all know where America is, and you just happened to go there first!" " If we go, we will find it. "

Columbus was calm in the face of criticism. He had a brainwave, picked up an egg on the table and said to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, who can stand the egg on the table? Which one of you can do it? " Everyone was eager to try, but they were defeated one by one. Columbus smiled, picked up the egg, patted it on the table and stood there. Columbus went on to say, "Yes, it's as simple as that. It is really not difficult to discover America, as easy as laying this egg. But, gentlemen, who did it before I set it up? "

Innovation is essentially a welcome attitude towards new ideas, new perspectives and new changes, and it is also manifested in a new perspective. Many times, people will say, "Is this innovation? I also know! " Innovation is that simple. The key is whether you dare to think or do.

03. Frog phenomenon.

Someone has done an experiment, put a frog in a pot of hot water, and when the frog encounters drastic changes, it will jump out immediately and react quickly.

But put the frog in cold water and warm it slowly, and you will find that the frog will swim comfortably in the water at first. The temperature of the water in the pot is rising slowly. It doesn't notice it, but it still feels warm and happy. Once the temperature rises to 70 ~ 80 degrees, I feel threatened and want to jump out, but it is too late. Because its legs failed, it couldn't jump any more, and finally it had to be boiled to death. This is the story of a frog boiled in warm water.

This story has three meanings:

First, changes in the general environment can determine our success or failure. Changes in the general environment are sometimes invisible. We must always pay attention, study more, remain vigilant and welcome changes before it is too late.

Second, too comfortable environment is the most dangerous moment. Habitual lifestyle may be your most dangerous lifestyle. Constantly innovate, break the old model, I believe everything can be improved.

Third, if you want to notice the slight change of the trend, you must stop and think from different angles, and learning is the best way to find the change.

04. The fate of the wall builder.

Three workers are building a wall. Someone came over and asked, "What are you doing?" The first man said grumpily, "didn't you see it?" Build a wall. " The second man looked up and said with a smile, "We are building a tall building." The third man hummed while working. His smile was bright and happy: "We are building a new city." 10 years later, the first man built a wall on another construction site, the second man became an engineer, sitting in the office drawing drawings, and the third man was the boss of the first two people.

The ordinary work in hand is actually the beginning of a great cause. Whether you can realize this means whether you can achieve something great.

05. nails.

There was a boy with a bad temper, and his father gave him a bag of nails. And told him that whenever he lost his temper, he would nail a nail in the fence in the backyard. On the first day, the boy nailed 37 nails. Slowly, the number of nails hammered down every day decreased, and he found it easier to control his temper than to hammer those nails. So, one day, the boy will never lose patience and lose his temper again.

He told it to his father. Father added that from now on, as long as he can control his temper, he will pull out a nail. As the days passed, the boy finally told his father that he had finally pulled out all the nails. Father took him by the hand and went to the backyard and said, "You have done well, my good boy, but look at those holes in the fence." These fences will never be restored to their original appearance. What you say when you are angry will leave scars like these nails. If you stab someone with a knife, no matter how many times you say you're sorry, the wound will last forever. The pain of words is as unbearable as the real pain. "

People often get hurt forever because of some ruthless deadlock. If we can all start from ourselves and start to be tolerant of others, I believe you will receive many unexpected results. Opening a window for others is to let yourself see a more complete sky.

06. candy.

There is a little boy. One day, his mother took him to the grocery store to buy things. When the boss saw the lovely child, he opened a can of candy and let the little boy take a handful of candy by himself. But the boy did nothing. After several invitations, the boss personally grabbed a handful of sugar and put it in his pocket. When I got home, my mother asked the little boy curiously, why don't I grab the candy myself and let the boss do it? The little boy replied wonderfully, "Because my hands are small and my boss's hands are big, he must take much more than me."

This is a clever boy. He knows his own limitations. More importantly, he also knows that others are better than himself. Learn to rely on others at the right time, not just on your own. This is modesty and cleverness.

07. The art of listening.

Linklater, a famous American host, visited a child one day and asked him, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" The child naively replied, "Well ... I want to be an airplane pilot." Linklater then asked, "What would you do if one day your plane flew over the Pacific Ocean and all the engines died?" The child thought for a moment: "I will tell the people sitting on the plane to fasten their seat belts first, and then I will hang up my parachute and jump out."

While the audience was laughing, linklater continued to observe the child to see if he was a self-righteous guy. Unexpectedly, two lines of tears welled up in the child's eyes, so linklater asked him: Why did you do this? "

The child's answer revealed his sincere thoughts: "I'm going to get fuel, I want to come back!" " "

This is the "art of listening". First, don't listen to half of it. Second, don't project your meaning on other people's words. Learn to listen, listen attentively and listen humbly.
