I want more writing materials about honesty, the better the better.

Cao Cao was from the Three Kingdoms period. Although this man is ambitious and has many bad habits, he left an honest reputation in the army he commanded.

On one occasion, Cao Cao personally led the army to fight. On the way to March, I saw that the wheat on the roadside was ripe. It turned out that ordinary people fled outside for fear of soldiers and dared not come back to collect wheat.

Cao Cao sent people from door to door to tell the villagers and officials guarding the border crossing, saying, "I sent troops to fight against thieves and bandits at the behest of the emperor to kill the people." Now it's people in the wheat field. As long as someone tramples on the wheat field, he will be beheaded and shown to the public, and his words will be kept. Please don't be afraid, guys. "

The common people didn't believe it at first, but still hid in the dark to observe the action of the army led by Cao Cao.

The officers and men who crossed the wheat field dismounted and waded carefully through the wheat field with their hands, so that they crossed the wheat field one by one, and no one dared to trample on the wheat.

When the people saw it, they all liked it and praised it endlessly. Looking at the loyalist's back, they knelt on the ground to thank humbly.

Cao Cao is riding a horse. Suddenly, a bird flew into the field screaming. Cao Cao's horse was frightened and immediately jumped into the wheat field and trampled a wheat field.

Cao Cao immediately called the accompanying officials to punish himself for trampling on the wheat fields. The official said, "How can you punish the Prime Minister?"

Cao Cao said, "If I don't abide by what I say, who else will willingly abide by it?" ? How can a man who breaks his word command thousands of soldiers? "Then he drew his sword from his waist and tried to commit suicide. They stopped at once.

At this moment, Guo Jia, the minister, came forward and said, "The ancient book" Spring and Autumn Annals "says that law does not respect. How can the Prime Minister commit suicide when he is in charge of the army? "

Cao Cao pondered for a long time before saying, "Since the ancient book Spring and Autumn Annals has the saying that law is disrespectful, and I am shouldering the heavy responsibility entrusted to me by the son of heaven, I will avoid death for the time being. But I can't break my word. I should be punished if I make a mistake. "

So Cao Cao cut off his hair with a sword and threw it on the ground and said, "Well, I'll cut my hair off."

Cao Cao also sent a message to the three armed forces: "The Prime Minister trampled on the wheat field and should have beheaded the public. Now he has cut off his hair to find a replacement. "

People nowadays think it's normal to get a haircut. But people at that time thought that "the body is influenced by the skin" and hair is inherited from parents. Cutting off your hair at will is a rude violation and a sign of unfilial. So in the eyes of people at that time, Cao Cao cut his hair and beheaded in public.

Song dynasty army has no credit.

Han Feizi in the pre-Qin period said that "reward is enough to fight", which means that those who make meritorious deeds will be rewarded and those who are guilty will be punished. Only in this way can the troops form a strong fighting capacity.

There were many military regulations in the Song Dynasty, but we didn't pay attention to faith enforcement. If the reward is not rewarded and the punishment is not punished, the morale of the army will be scattered and the combat effectiveness of the army will decline. This situation not only did not change in the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, but intensified, eventually leading to national subjugation. Lin 'an (now Kaifeng), the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, was captured twice by Jin Jun, and Lin 'an (now Hangzhou), the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, was also captured by Jin Jun and Yuan Jun respectively. The lesson is profound.

9. There is no falsehood in the temple of truth.

Edward Hale, a famous writer, said, "There is a saying that will be engraved in my heart forever, and that is,' there is no falsehood in the palace of truth'. This is the sentence that has the greatest influence on me during my four years of studying at Harvard University. It is also this sentence that has made me successful and won me honor and respect. "

He went on to tell the story of benjamin pierce, a famous American economist. Pierce is a knowledgeable and upright old gentleman. His white hair is always neatly combed. Every class, wearing a straight suit, he solemnly walked into the church to say hello to everyone, and then began to calculate the economic formula on the blackboard. Pierce often interspersed some humorous stories in class, and the students were often made to laugh by him. Everyone affectionately called him "kind old man", "humorous old man" and "educated Pierce" because no one had ever seen him lose his temper.

Once, in his business math class, he asked everyone to do a set of exam questions and hand them in in in class. However, a student copied his previous homework and Pierce found out. Pierce announced that this business mathematics class would stop immediately and be changed to the first self-cultivation class. He stood on the platform, pale and said, "Be honest. The purpose of our coming to Harvard is to pursue the truth. Although the road to the truth is full of difficulties, as long as we treat the problem honestly, seriously and seriously, you will have a chance to discover the truth. If a student cheats here, he will never have a chance to see the light of truth. Please believe that there is no falsehood in the palace of truth. "

Pierce stood on the podium and spoke for twenty minutes. His voice was full of justice, and every word he said shook the hearts of more than 20 students present. After that, the cheating student stood up, walked up to Pierce, bowed deeply, and then said with shame and excitement, "Thank you, Mr. Pierce." This is my most valuable lesson in twenty years. You taught me how to be a man. "

Pierce recovered his cordial expression at this moment, patted the classmate on the shoulder and said, "Remember this sentence, there is no falsehood in the palace of truth."

At this time, thunderous applause rang out in the classroom. Then, all the students stood up from their seats and bowed deeply to Pierce, because his speech gave every student a vivid lesson. These students have a successful career after graduation, because they all remember this sentence and take honesty as their code of conduct.

truth

Harvard students are one of the most famous universities in the world, and this school takes "truth" as its motto. On the gates and buildings of Harvard University, there is a Latin word "truth", which stands for "truth, honesty and integrity". There is also a sentence engraved on the main entrance: "The door of truth will only be open to those who are upright." It means those dishonest people have no way out in this world.

Tongtenguto

First, abandon honesty.

Once upon a time, there was a scholar who was nearly twenty years old. Thanks to his hard work, he has become a scholar. It's time to get married. There are many matchmakers, but no scholar looks down on him. With his handsome appearance and extensive knowledge, people expect him to succeed in my official career. So the scholar took "honesty", "beauty", "wisdom" and "wealth" and embarked on the road of finding a wife.

The scholar walked and walked until he came to a raging river. He couldn't help frowning, wondering how I could cross such a wide river. At this time, a small boat came slowly to this side. An old man on board said, "Scholar, I can cross the river. All you have to do is give me a piece of luggage."

The scholar said, "Let me think." I thought to myself: I want to marry a good wife, and "beauty" must be indispensable; If I want to be a big official and make a lot of money in the future, "wisdom" is indispensable; How should I choose between "wealth" and "honesty"? If I give "wealth" to the old man, I won't take much advantage of him. Forget it, anyway, "honesty" is useless, so I said to the old man loudly, "How about I give you" honesty "?"

The old man smiled and said, "How thoughtful of you!"

The scholar thought that the old man wanted something else, so he said angrily, "Do you want it!" "I only heard the old man laugh a few times and a cloud of smoke poured out around me. The scholar only felt that his eyes were white and he could see nothing. When the smoke cleared, the big river had disappeared. Although the scholar was very strange, he went on without realizing that the most important thing had left him. ...

Second, women outside the city

On this day, the scholar came to the "Wizard of Oz Forest" outside Luoyang and saw a woman in plain clothes, but it was hard to hide her beauty. She smiled and said, "What are you doing here? I wonder if my little girl can help? "

The scholar only felt that the woman smiled and the flowers all over the mountain lost their color. Suddenly, he felt that this woman must be the wife he was looking for. He blurted out, "Is the girl married?"

When the woman heard this, Xia Hong immediately dyed her ears red. "My little girl is not married yet!" She said angrily. There are other girls who have to call you. The little girl's name is Yan Feng Ran, and you can call me Ran Yan. "

The scholar was very happy and said, "Does that Ran Yan girl like me?"

The woman said, "You are very happy when you value Yan Yan. Just don't know whether childe have a smile ... "

Before the woman finished, the scholar said urgently, "What? Wealth, Beauty or Wisdom? "

"Neither," the woman shook her head. "Honesty", I wonder if you have it? "

"'integrity'!" The scholar exclaimed. What happened by the river.

The woman seemed to know the result and burst into tears. She sighed, "It seems that Ran Yan is not blessed ..." After that, the man disappeared. The scholar only felt like a rude awakening, and only the girl's smile was still in his heart. Is this really a dream?

Third, the official situation

The scholar's heart was full of sadness, and he never saw a woman again. So he decided to go to officialdom to make up for his inner emptiness. Through his intelligence, he rose again and again in a few years, from a small county magistrate to the position of prime minister. It's just that he never talks about honesty in officialdom and only uses means, so he has offended many people. Finally, once, people jointly sued the imperial edict, turning him from a rich prime minister into a prisoner who was spurned by everyone. Fortunately, an old friend remembered the past and let him go.

He looked at himself. He is over forty years old, and his "beauty" is gone. Now he is penniless, not much better than a beggar. Alas, he now realizes that the most important thing can never be found!

Fourth, regain integrity.

The scholar walked aimlessly, and everyone was about to collapse. Just when he gave up hope, the familiar river appeared again. There is a boat parked by the river, and there is an old man on board. These scenes seem familiar. I only heard the old man say, "It's fate to meet your son. Your son can take what others have left here. "

The scholar didn't even think about it: "Honesty!" Say that finish, listen to the old man smiled again. Then, there was a fog in front of me, and I turned back to my twenties. I can't help crying when I think of those pictures. As if a smile appeared in front of me. I just heard her say, "Honestly, I wonder if you have it?" ……

Eleven.

Not long ago, CCTV's "The Son of the East" column interviewed Ding Zhaozhong, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics. Professor Ding was deeply touched by the reporter's simple question of "I don't know" several times in a row.

The reporter asked such a question: "I feel that you have a clear choice for every stage of your life." For example, when I was young, I was interested in science and scientists; In college, I was locked in studying physics; Then, every time you do an experiment, you will push through the crowd and stick to it yourself. How can a person be so firm and correct in every choice? "Everyone knows what reporters want, because in too many celebrity interviews, such questions are obviously paving the way for each other to show off. However, Ding Zhaozhong's answer is: "I don't know, maybe I am lucky!"! "

The reporter never gave up and asked, "Is there no need for this?" Ding Zhaozhong still replied: "Then I don't know." The reporter still won't give up: "How can I make a choice today and not regret it later?" Ding Zhaozhong still replied: "Because I have no regrets, I really don't know." The reporter was very helpless: "I found that the most common sentence you said when we talked was' I don't know'." Ding Zhaozhong gave a positive answer this time: "Yes! If you don't know, you can never say that you know, which is absolutely not allowed here. Knowing is knowing, don't guess if you don't know. "

Ding Zhaozhong's rigorous attitude, is indeed to the point where ordinary people can't understand. However, this is Ding Zhaozhong, a great scientist. He thinks that if he doesn't know, he must answer "I don't know".

No one can change my promise.

[Short Story www.xiaogushi.com Date: June 2, 2005 23: 13: 48 Click:]

After work, Carl Willip, president of PepsiCo, received a phone call from the mayor and invited him to a dinner party. He declined without hesitation: "I'm sorry, I have already made an appointment to spend my birthday with my daughter tonight." I don't want to be a father who stood me up. "

Out of the office building, Carl bought a birthday present for his daughter, drove straight to the newly opened amusement park in the city center, and celebrated her birthday with his wife.

In order to avoid being disturbed, Carl and his wife both turned off their mobile phones. They accompanied their daughter wholeheartedly and enjoyed this happy festival happily.

Carl was watching his daughter blow out the red candle and began to cut the cake with great interest. His assistant came in a hurry. He called Carl aside and whispered that a very important customer of our company wanted to see him tonight.

"But I have promised my daughter that I will stay with her all night."

Carl looked reluctant.

"The parties really didn't agree before. He only stayed here for a short time. Meeting with the president is a temporary decision ... "The assistant gently suggested.

What shall we do? On the one hand, my daughter who has been having fun with me for two hours, and on the other hand, an important client of the company is waiting for an appointment. Carl didn't hesitate. He turned to his assistant and said, "I think I should be with my daughter." You should receive customers and convey my sincere apologies. Make an appointment with him and I will visit him myself. "

"Mr. Carr, would you like to go first ..." The assistant reminded the president that this customer is too important to offend. Otherwise, we won't find it in a hurry.

"Dad, you go to work first. My mother is as happy as I am. " The daughter who knows the inside story understands her father very well and urges him to meet the customer.

"No, I have already said, I don't want to be a father who stood me up. Tonight, the mayor's banquet and the client's appointment are really important, but the promise I made to my daughter a month ago is even more important. No one can change the promise I made. " Carl's firmness made the assistant give up the idea of continuing persuasion.

The next day, the first thing Carl did at work was to call the customer to apologize. Instead of being angry, the customer sincerely praised, "Mr. Carl, actually, I want to thank you." It was your actions that made me really remember the value of the promise, and I understood the real reason why Pepsi flourished. " Since then, Carl and this customer have become very close partners, and their trust in each other has never wavered even when the company encountered the greatest difficulties.

1797 In March, French President Napoleon gave the headmaster of the First National Primary School in Luxembourg a bouquet of roses worth 3 Louis, and said the following words: "In order to thank your school for its hospitality to me, especially to my wife Josephine, I not only presented a bouquet of roses today, but also in the future, as long as we exist in France, I will send someone to give it to you every year today. Since then, Luxembourg, a small country, has never forgotten this "moment when European giants and Luxembourg children live in harmony" and recorded it in history.

Later, Napoleon was too poor to cope with the continuous wars and political events, and was eventually exiled to St. Helena because of failure. Naturally, he completely forgot his commitment to Luxembourg.

Unexpectedly, at the end of 1984, Luxemburg people brought up the past and made this promise of "sending roses" to the French government and demanded compensation. They demanded that the French government: first, either start with 1798, use three Louis as the principal of a bunch of roses and pay them off with 5% compound interest; Second, either openly admit that Napoleon is a promised villain in major French newspapers and periodicals. Of course, the French government didn't want to damage Napoleon's reputation, but the figures calculated by the computer surprised them: the principal and interest of Louis had now reached 1375596 francs. In the end, the French government found a satisfactory answer to Luxembourg through hard thinking, that is, "In the future, France will unswervingly support and sponsor the primary and secondary education in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in spirit and material, so as to realize our commitment to Napoleon Rose."

Perhaps Napoleon never thought that his "impromptu" words would bring such embarrassment to France until his death. However, it also shows a truth: commitment is only a moment, and keeping it takes forever-whether it is a mortal or a great man.

true height

One day, Dumas learned that the manuscript sent by his son Dumas always ran into a wall, so he said to Dumas, "If you can attach a short message to the editor with the manuscript, or just say' I am Dumas son', maybe things will be much better."

Dumas stubbornly said, "No, I don't want to sit on your shoulder and pick apples. The apples picked in this way have no taste. " Young Dumas not only refused to use his father's fame as a stepping stone to his career, but also quietly gave himself a pen name of more than a dozen other surnames, so as not to let the editors associate him with his famous father.

In the face of those cold and heartless rejection notes, Dumas is not depressed, and still insists on creating his own expressionless works. After the publication of his novel La Traviata, he finally shocked a senior editor with his wonderful creativity and excellent writing style. This famous editor has been in correspondence with Dumas for many years. He saw that the sender's address was exactly the same as that of the great writer Dumas, and he suspected that Dumas had used another pen name. However, the style of the work is quite different from that of Dumas. With this excitement and doubt, he couldn't wait to visit Dumas' house by bus.

To his great surprise, the author of the masterpiece La Traviata is Dumas' little-known youngest son. "Why not sign your real name on the manuscript?" The old editor asked Dumas doubtfully. Dumas said: "I just want to have a real height."

The old editor marveled at Dumas' practice.

After the publication of La Traviata, French literary critics agreed that the value of this work greatly exceeded Dumas' masterpiece The Revenge of Monte Cristo. Dumas became famous for a while.
