Now our school implements the three-minute speech before class, and I urgently need some short stories.

When Carnegie, the American steel magnate, was young, his family was poor. My parents immigrated from England to the United States and settled down. When I first settled down, I couldn't afford Carnegie's tuition. Carnegie had to drop out of school and stay at home.

Once, someone gave him a mother rabbit. Soon, the mother rabbit gave birth to a litter of rabbits. This time, Carnegie made a mistake: because he couldn't afford to buy feed such as bean dregs and carrots to feed this litter of rabbits, he patted his head and thought about it-invited all the children nearby to visit these lively and lovely rabbits. Most children like small animals. Carnegie took the opportunity to announce that whoever wants to feed the rabbit with feed will be named after the child. The children cheered in unison and supported Carnegie's adoption agreement. In this way, the rabbit has a nice name, and Carnegie's feed problem is solved.

Anecdotes in childhood have brought beneficial enlightenment to Carnegie: people cherish their names, and those who don't give up their names gain great practical benefits. He started as a small clerk and became the boss of a steel company through his tenacious efforts. Unexpectedly, his childhood scenes reappeared from time to time.

In order to bid for the sleeping car contract of Pacific Railway Company, he fought wits and wits with Burman Railway Company, a veteran of shopping malls. In order to win the bid, the two sides kept cutting prices, and the result has reached the point where it is unprofitable, and each other still can't swallow this tone. "The road to the enemy is narrow." Carnegie met Bohrman at the gate of the hotel. He smiled and held out his hand to greet Polman and said, "The competition between our two families is so vicious that it really hurts both sides!"

Carnegie said frankly at that time: Let bygones be bygones and forge ahead through cooperation. Burman was moved by Carnegie's sincerity, and his anger was reduced by half, but he lacked interest in cooperation and forge ahead. Carnegie was puzzled by borman's refusal to cooperate and repeatedly asked why. Polman was silent for a while, and then asked cunningly, "What's the name of the new cooperative company?" Oh, Boorman is worried about "who is the boss"! Carnegie thought of raising rabbits as a child and blurted out, "Of course it's called Boorman Sleeping Car Company!" ! "Boolean door couldn't believe my ears, and Carnegie clearly confirmed it.

Therefore, both parties have benefited a lot from the successful signing of the contract.

History often plays such a joke, and people who are indifferent to names are famous. Now the whole world knows Carnegie, the "king of steel". How many people know Bohrman?

Enrichment is more manifested in the heart.

Once, Bill Gates and a friend drove to the Hilton Hotel. Before I got to the hotel, I found a lot of cars parked, and the parking space was very tight, but the VIP parking space next to it was quite empty. My friend suggested parking there.

"Oh, 12 dollars, this price is not very good." Gates said.

"I'll pay." Friends insist.

"This is not a good idea. They charge too much. "

At the insistence of Gates, they finally found an ordinary parking space.

Gates hates that things are worthless. He is never stingy with his money. Just look at the figures he has donated to charity over the years.

Rockefeller stayed in a hotel and never opened an ordinary room. The waiter was puzzled and said, "Your son wants the best room every time he comes. Why are you doing this? "

Rockefeller said, "Because he has a millionaire's father and I don't."

Having said that, Rockefeller is unequivocal in donating money to support education and health, amounting to hundreds of millions.

On one occasion, Li Ka-shing took out a handkerchief to wipe his face before getting on the bus, and a dollar coin fell to the ground. It's raining, and Li Ka-shing insists on collecting money from under the car. Later, the waiter next to him picked up the dollar for him, and Li Ka-shing gave him a tip of 100. He said: "If the dollar is not picked up, it may be wasted if it is washed away by water, but this 100 yuan will not be wasted. Money is wealth created by society and should not be wasted. "

Comments: Loving and cherishing wealth is the premise of obtaining wealth, but not limited to wealth is the premise of obtaining happiness.

God helps those who help themselves.

No one can succeed by talent alone. God gave talent, and diligence turned talent into genius.

Zeng Guofan is one of the most influential figures in the history of China, but his talent was not high since he was a child. One day when I was studying at home, I repeated an article many times and was still reading it aloud because he hadn't memorized it yet. At this time, a thief came to his house and lurked under his eaves, hoping to get some benefits after the scholar went to bed. But wait and wait, just don't see him sleeping, or read the article over and over again. The thief was furious and jumped out and said, "What books do you read at this level?" Then recite the article and leave!

The thief is very clever, at least smarter than Mr. Zeng, but he can only be a thief, and Mr. Zeng has also become the person admired by President Mao Zedong: "the richest man in modern times."

"Diligence is a good training, and one point is hard work." The thief has a good memory. He was brave enough to recite the article after listening to it several times. He can jump out of "great anger" when he sees others not sleeping. Teach Ceng Laoshi a lesson, so we have to endorse and walk away. But unfortunately, the name is unknown, and Mr. Zeng later used a lot of talents. It is said that the thief and Mr. Zeng have known each other for a short time and can be used for one or two things. Unfortunately, his talent was not coupled with diligence, and he became ignorant.

Tip: Great success is directly proportional to hard work. Work hard and you will get something. Over time, from less to more, miracles can be created.
