Inspirational philosophical stories in the workplace

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, then two lines of tears welled up in the child's heart, which made linklater realize that the child's sympathy was far beyond words. So linklater asked him, why did you do this? "The child's answer revealed his sincere thoughts:" I'm going to get the fuel, and I want to come back! ! ! "

Revelation: 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.

There is a toothpaste factory with excellent products and exquisite packaging, which is deeply loved by customers. Since 10, the turnover has been increasing continuously, with an annual growth rate of 10% ~ 20%. But in 1 1 year, the performance stagnated, and so did the next two years. The company manager held a high-level meeting to discuss countermeasures. The president of the company promised at the meeting that whoever can come up with a solution to the problem and make the company's performance grow will be rewarded with 654.38+10,000 yuan.

A young manager stood up and handed the president a piece of paper. After reading it, the president immediately signed a check for 654.38 million yuan to the manager. The note said: Enlarge the existing toothpaste mouth1mm. Consumers squeeze out toothpaste with the same length every morning, and the opening is enlarged by 1 mm, so if each consumer uses more toothpaste with the width of 1 mm, how much more will he consume every day! The company immediately changed the packaging. In 14, the company's turnover increased by 32%.

Revelation: In the face of changes in life, we are often used to the way of thinking in the past. In fact, as long as you enlarge your heart diameter 1 mm, you will see that all changes in life have their positive side, full of opportunities and challenges.

1, financial budget:

Effective self-motivation will require considerable expenses. Don't overdraw your credit card under emotional impulse, and control the amount within one to two times of your monthly income. This kind of investment will neither make you feel too distressed nor make your subsequent life difficult.

2. Time budget:

Calculate the time you spend on these extra activities, make a list of things you have to do, and cross out one thing after you finish it. This is a good way to control your time effectively. Don't make yourself in a hurry, it's harder than work;

3, interpersonal budget:

In the process of regulating emotions, be kind to the people you contact. Don't think that you can vent freely when you are depressed, especially to your family and friends. In fact, if you hurt your relatives and close friends in order to get rid of bad emotions, it will not be worth the candle.

4, psychological budget:

Think carefully about what you need, don't give up what you really want because of the haggling over every ounce of the previous budget, and don't set too high psychological needs, which will lead to your second defeat. For example, do you really want to go to Maldives to appreciate the shadow of coconut trees? Come on, you only have five days off, 6 thousand yuan. Go to Sanya and have fun.

How to distribute inspirational philosophical stories in the workplace II

Seven people once lived together and shared a big bucket of porridge every day. Sadly, there is not enough porridge to eat every day. At first, they drew lots to decide who would share the porridge, one serving a day. So every week, they are full only one day, that is, the day of porridge sharing. Later, they began to elect a noble person to share the porridge. Power will lead to corruption, and everyone began to try their best to please and bribe him, making the whole clique filled with smoke. Then everyone began to form a three-person porridge Committee and a four-person selection Committee, but they often attacked each other and quarreled constantly, and the porridge was all cold in their mouths. Finally, I came up with a method: divide the porridge in turn, but the people who divide the porridge have to wait for everyone else to pick up the last bowl left. In order not to eat the least, everyone tries to distribute it equally, even if it is uneven, you can only admit it. Everyone is happy and kind, and life is getting better and better.

The same seven people, different distribution systems, will have different ethos.

Workplace think tank:

If a unit has bad work habits, it must be a mechanism problem, and it must not be completely fair and open, and there is no strict reward for diligence and punishment for laziness. How to formulate such a system is a problem that every leader needs to consider.

Wei Huiwang wanted to send troops to attack Qi, because Qi Weiwang violated the Covenant of the Warring States Period. In order to persuade Wang Wei to stop fighting, Hui Shi, as prime minister, invited wise men from Beijing to wear in. Dai Jin met Wang Wei and asked, "Does Wang know anything about snails?" Wang Wei said, "Yes." Depp said, "Snails have two tentacles. There is a country in the left corner, called Touche, and a country in the right corner. In order to compete for territory, the two countries went to war and buried tens of thousands of bodies. The winner chased for ten days and five days before returning to camp. " Wang Wei smiled disapprovingly and said, "Isn't this all fake?" Dai Jin said, "It's not a lie. If you don't believe me, I'll show you: in the king's view, is there no end in all directions? " Wang Wei said: "There is no end." Dai Jin asked again: "After cruising in the endless universe, the human heart returns to the world. Can it be said that the world is so small that it seems to be nothing? " Wang Wei said, "Yes." Dai Jin immediately asked: "Since the world is small, it is dispensable, and Wei is only a small country, and the capital is a small country, and the king is a small body of the capital. Then, compared with the endless universe, what is the difference with the king of the country who lives in the right corner?" Wang Wei said: "There is no difference." The Daikin people are gone. Wang Wei seems to have been introduced into the boundless universe and can't see the world, let alone Wei. It realized the smallness of the world and territory, the boredom of fighting and expanding Xinjiang, and the fact that the income from winning is just a dime a dozen, which really doesn't make much sense. So he praised Dai Jin as an "adult" and thought that he had such a vision, far exceeding that of a saint. The inspirational stories in the workplace tell us that all the gains and losses in the workplace are insignificant, and no one will regret not spending more time in the office when he dies. Pursuing happiness, peace and happiness is the most important thing in one's life.

Inspirational philosophical stories in the workplace iv. Love your job.

There is an old man in the tribe. He sat leisurely under a big tree, enjoying the cool while weaving a straw hat. The finished straw hat will be lined up in front of him for tourists to choose. The straw hat he weaves is very unique in shape and ingenious in color matching, which makes tourists stop to buy it.

At this time, a shrewd businessman saw the straw hat woven by the old man, and his brain suddenly opened wide. He thought: if such a beautiful straw hat is shipped to America, I can guarantee that it will sell at a good price and earn at least ten times the profit.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say excitedly to the old man, friend, how much is this straw hat? Ten dollars each. The old man smiled at him and went on knitting his straw hat. His leisurely manner really makes people feel that he is not working, but enjoying a wonderful mood.

God, if I buy 654.38 million straw hats and sell them in China, I will definitely make a fortune. Businessmen are ecstatic and can't help feeling smug about their business genius.

So the businessman said to the old man, if I order 10000 straw hats from you, how much will you give me for each straw hat?

He thought the old man would be very happy, but he frowned and said, in that case, 20 yuan will win one.

Want each 20 yuan, which he has never heard of since he was in business. Why? The businessman shouted at the old man. The old man spoke his mind: it is a pleasure for me to weave straw hats under this big tree without burden, but if I want to weave 10000 identical straw hats, I will work day and night, which is not only tired, but also a mental burden. Shouldn't you pay me more?

Workplace think tank:

As the old man said, when work can't be a pleasure but a monotonous cycle, it will really make people feel bored, but we still have to work hard for specific interests. But what do you work for? This is a question that you and I both need to seriously think about. Only those who really love their jobs are truly happy jobs.

After graduating from college, Meng Ming entered the planning department of a company. When they first took up their posts, the minister said to the newcomers, "The company has to make a national promotion plan, which lasts for one week, and the chairman has to look at it himself. Everyone is young and we must seize this opportunity. " After thinking hard, she decided to surpass others in the number of planning schemes. Within the stipulated time, she handed four copies to the minister. A few days later, the minister told her that the chairman wanted her to go to his office.

"Sit down, little girl, I have a story to tell you." On entering the room, the chairman told Meng Ming that the tiger, the king of the forest, gave birth to two babies in one breath, and all the animals except the mouse came to congratulate him. Because it just gave birth to a 10 mouse, I feel that the king of the forest is not as good as it. The monkey knew what he was thinking and said, "Mouse, 10:2 exists objectively, but you forget that human species are much better than yours!" " "My story is over. I have read your four planning cases, and I can see that you have done your best. But you forget that when you put 100% effort into four planning cases, you only put 25% effort into each scheme; And when you put 100% efforts into a planning case, you get a 100% planning case! Quantity is just a sign, quality is fundamental, what I want is fine, not mediocre, even if you have a lot.

Inspirational philosophical stories in the workplace 6 touching

A pigeon keeps moving, trying to get rid of its own smell! It feels that every time it lives in its new nest for a short time, there is a strong strange smell that makes it breathless and has to keep moving. It was very upset, so it complained to an experienced old pigeon. The old pigeon said, "it's no use moving so many times, because the strange smell that bothers you doesn't come from the nest, but from yourself."

Revelation: If you don't fit in with the team, don't look for reasons on others, the problem lies with yourself!

tiger

Two men met a big tiger in the forest. A quickly took off a pair of lighter sports shoes from the back and put them on. B was so anxious that he scolded, "What are you doing? Changing shoes can't beat the tiger! " A said, "I just want to run faster than you." 2 1 century, no sense of crisis is the biggest crisis. Especially after China's entry into WTO, telecommunications, banking, insurance and even civil servants, which we think are very stable and secure, will also face many variables.

Revelation: When more tigers come, are we ready for running shoes?

Divide porridge

At first, they drew lots to decide who would share the porridge, one serving a day. So every week, they are full only one day, that is, the day of porridge sharing.

But the person who divides the porridge has to wait for everyone else to pick up the last bowl left. In order not to eat the least, everyone tries to distribute it equally, even if it is uneven, you can only admit it. Everyone is happy and kind, and life is getting better and better.

Enlightenment: The same seven people, different distribution systems, will have different ethos. Therefore, if a unit has bad work habits, it must be a mechanism problem, and it must not be completely fair and open, and there is no strict reward for diligence and punishment for laziness. How to formulate such a system is a problem that every leader needs to consider.

Inspirational philosophy story in the workplace 7 Your mentality

Three workers are building a wall on the construction site. Someone asked what they were doing.

The first worker said angrily, didn't you see it? I am building a wall.

The second man answered seriously: I am in Gai Lou.

The third man replied happily: I am building a beautiful city.

Ten years later, the first worker was still building the wall, the second worker became the manager of the construction site, and the third worker became the leader of the city.

Our minds can go as far as they can. On the same starting line, attitude determines everything; Feel life with a good mood! The little job you are doing now is actually the beginning of a big career. Whether you can realize this means whether you can achieve something great.

Workplace think tank:

If everyone is as worried about their work as the first person, I don't think even the best work will have any effect; And the same ordinary work, also seemingly simple repetition, boring, but some people can face it with a pleasant mood, perceive the extraordinary in the ordinary, and build dreams in the simple. I think what kind of difficulties can't be overcome?

Story 8 of inspirational philosophy in the workplace: Beijing seems to be under the influence of evil. So much so that I was once worried that many people in the imperial city suffered from a collective hysteria unknown to the scientific community.

At any dinner party, after the greeting, when the third topic is almost talked about, the other party will ask me in a tone of lamenting my misfortune and taking it out on me: "Don't you want to do something yourself?" This is an insidious remark. Seemingly calm, in fact, the waves are on the shore, and it is extremely scary to think about it. This sentence is divided into several parts. First, "don't", this rhetorical question has basically laid the tone, that is, the right path is at hand, why didn't you think about setting foot on it? Second, "I don't want to" reveals a disappointment that I really dare not look at and can't hide. Third, "self", a declaration of mastering one's own destiny. Fourth, "do something" to create a grand blueprint for the cause. You see, there is a kind of care, a kind of salvation and a last reminder in this sentence. It seems that the magnificent scene is shining ahead. Why do you short-sighted people turn a blind eye?

Yes, they are persuading me to start a business.

For almost a year, cats, dogs and the last Xueba all claimed to start their own businesses. Those who are used to basking in food in the circle of friends turn to basking in empty offices, whiteboards, H5 and various entrepreneurial declarations copied in the middle of the night. With the tide of entrepreneurship, the chicken soup industry finally found a new growth point when it was on the verge of death. Single dog, who used to rely on psychological massage to find a partner, is now urging the overtime dog who is still at work to submit his resignation.

In fact, those entrepreneurs are not creative and the companies are different, but there is basically only one industry, which is not their fault. Now it seems that there is only one industry in China-Internet. It seems that only the Internet is a sunrise industry, and other industries are dying out. Don't you see that even the number of people taking the civil service exam has begun to decline? The situation now is that if you set foot on the Internet, you can get through Noah's Ark safely despite the flood. If you haven't thrown yourself at the internet, you are bound to be laughed at. The way to integrate into the torrent of the Internet must be to "do something yourself". Going to work has basically become a joke. There is really no way to transition, especially unpromising, or to temporarily bear the burden of humiliation in preparation for starting a business.

What you do in your country can trigger a collective climax, saying that the stock market is on fire, even the vegetable sellers are talking about the market, and young literary women are selling cotton skirts and starting to bargain-hunting; A small fresh meat swimming can attract the favor of the old ladies in China one day and be jealous of another South Korean Ouba the next day. So, it's really not surprising that entrepreneurship can become a trend, but the problem is that you guys complain every day even if you go to work once. From Monday, you began to complain about why people who didn't go to work on Friday started their own businesses. Can this company survive?

What is entrepreneurship? Literally, it refers to starting a business. The sense of accomplishment and the possibility of financial freedom have attracted too many people. Since there is such a grand possibility, the act of starting a business itself must require real ambition. It is a breakthrough and subversive behavior, not only to solve the problem of food and clothing or just to improve some living standards on the existing basis. The reason why most people start a business now is not to create anything at all, but to escape something. To tell the truth, it is basically because of boredom and dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction with the boss, dissatisfaction with the existing job, and dissatisfaction with income. They mistakenly think that their angry departure is the beginning of vitality. Objectively speaking, most people work eight hours a day, spend two hours browsing Taobao, spend an hour brushing friends circle, and wonder where to eat at weekends while sending faxes. People with this mentality will never understand that starting a business means putting all your time into your work.

Entrepreneurship is not just a beautiful dream, but actually a hard job. If you really make up your mind to start a business, your quality of life will plummet in many unpredictable years. Do you think that if the VC gives you millions, the players in Round A and Round B will play with you for free? Do they give you money to brush your circle of friends while lying down? Don't think that the market and investors are like young people in your village to marry. You have flown away for many years and are still waiting for you to come back gently. As long as you are interested, someone will cooperate with you in various positions. Nothing in this world is cost-free, and often the cost is greater than the income. The problem now is that many people who advise me to start a business regard angel investors as real angels. Think that people's daily job is to keep smiling, flapping their wings and throwing money around?

Besides, a few years ago, the word entrepreneurship still had a threshold. Now anyone who sells steamed stuffed buns and mala Tang at the door says that he is starting a business, and then he can order food online by printing a QR code on the box, which is called O2O. If I can make a WeChat account and post a story every day, I can basically be an industry leader, making a living by speaking, and I don't have to sell mala Tang myself. This is not a startup, okay? This kind of self-reliance to do a little business is called practicing stalls at most. When we were at school and having fun, our parents yelled at us, "If you don't study hard, you will go to the stall in the future." This is what you have to do now. Some people like to use grand and solemn words to whitewash their humble and frustrated status quo. Only real diaosi especially likes to pop up various concepts of English letters and numbers, such as B2C, C2C, O2O, 0 to 1 and so on, which are messy, refreshing and tasteless, not to mention the pseudo-concepts invented by diaosi who are more localized and can't even be translated into English. In fact, there are many interesting concepts, but the so-called entrepreneurs in China simply don't want to understand their connotations, only care about the psychedelic pleasure when they call themselves by these labels. Essentially, this is the same as when foreign companies first entered China, and everyone gave themselves foreign names, such as Tom, Jerry and Dick. Many years later, do you still have the face to tell others that you are named after an organ in slang like Dick? In a few years, someone will point at you at the dinner table. This person used to be engaged in O2O.

For ordinary people, everyone needs a job, which will bring you income and social interaction. Yes, no one is born to get up early and return late in order to squeeze the subway bus, but that doesn't make you naturally refute why you don't start a business. Some people always cheer themselves up and work as hard as they do. You might as well work for yourself. You get paid for your work. What is the salary? In the final analysis, it is the rebate of the profits you have created for the company, but when you have not created value, your company risks will be borne by the boss and other colleagues who have created more value. What's more, many times you are doing a service-oriented job rather than a job that directly creates profits. But when you start a business, you become a person who wants to push the bottom line and lift the ceiling.

Most people in this world are not suitable for starting a business, and starting a business needs a strong internal driving force. It doesn't mean that anyone interested in money can run a company and go public. Those who can create wealth that surprises you are actually not interested in what wealth can buy. They are interested in the process itself. Most people don't.

Therefore, entrepreneurship is destined to be a minority. There must be something wrong with mass entrepreneurship now. When a society began to eagerly encourage college students to drop out of school and start businesses, some things began to be frightening. It is not that Jobs and other Silicon Valley elites have dropped out of school, so it can be inferred from this logic that dropping out of school and starting a business will be successful. Instead, I found my own direction and made a choice when I couldn't take care of my studies. For them, if they want to start a business, they must drop out of school, but dropping out of school does not necessarily lead to success in starting a business. This is irreversible. The reason why China encourages college students to start businesses is because the employment situation is difficult, but we can't draw cakes for these people just because of this difficulty. What is even more frightening is that the possibility of dropping out of school and starting a business can not only confuse many young people, but also easily convince their parents. China is a place where pragmatism prevails. In front of the light of money, most people's IQ will plummet, and people will not think rationally. The probability of their company going public after starting a business is actually similar to the first prize in the lottery. Ask yourself, is your creativity on the same order as Steve Jobs' Apple? Do you really think that you can sell mala Tang and send a few strings of vegetarian balls to the market in a few years after financing, and compete with Wang Jianlin and Ma Yun?

Perhaps they are too disgusted with going to work, or succumb to the sharp polarization between the rich and the poor, and some people begin to inject themselves with illusory possibilities. They desperately want to indicate C O or the co-founder of a company on their business cards and WeChat signatures. They fantasize that the next day after starting their own business, they will stand in front of the glass curtain wall of the office building with a firm and heavy expression and look into the distance. Wearing a customized suit and signing all kinds of documents with a high-end pen every day, the company can live well. That's the dog blood drama of Mango Taiwan, not the entrepreneurial history in reality. In reality, the founder of a startup company asked me bitterly why I didn't start a business. The day before, he boasted in the group that he was negotiating millions of dollars in financing. The next day, he forwarded in the circle of friends that "my roommate moved and sublet Tiantongyuan to sleep in the second bedroom." Do you think this is interesting? Don't tell me this is the only way to start a business. There is a rift between the appearance of your financing and the real financial situation. This kind of situation with too much suspense will not be like an entrepreneur who is full of control over the future. And when these people are further questioned, the crack is even bigger. I ask about the size of your company, and you talk to me about future planning; I ask about your salary, and you tell me about your dreams and the distance. Then I'll ask you what will happen in the future. You clap your hands like an elder and say, "We are still young." I'm trying to say that some of your current collaborators are not very reliable. You said that we mainly look at people's ability to create value; Then I asked about the possibility of making profits in the future, and you said, "Be a man in advance." So, you turn a blind eye to your talent on the Internet. If you write chicken soup, you may become a new generation of internet celebrities, but you really can't. Finding a department as a spokesperson may still give full play to light and heat.

Let's just say that many entrepreneurs now feel that they can spend some time on venture capital and talk about it later. This is not entrepreneurship, it is almost cheating. And the cost performance is slightly lower than that of the liar who comes to my office tomorrow. This is one of the reasons why media people are becoming the mainstream of the entrepreneurial army, because their main business is telling stories. At present, investors and listeners are willing to listen to stories, but what should we do when the stories are finished and the reality is revealed? This is not a cinema. When the story was finished, the light came on. Let's pack up and go home. Business is a field of life and death, capital is a white knife in and a red knife out. There is always a difference between life and death.

Entrepreneurship is a great thing, and the Internet is a great tool. These can create infinite possibilities, the question is whether you are suitable. I don't believe that a person who usually needs to do psychological construction at work will become a great entrepreneur, and I don't believe that in the future, most people will become entrepreneurs one by one, achieving some utopian financial freedom and equal status. We must always understand that starting a business is tens of thousands of times more difficult than going to work. Is a minority, the probability is low. If you find a direction and a market, you must try to achieve it because of your inner needs rather than external noise, then you can try, even if you burn your bridges. If not, don't daydream. Even if the stock market loses tens of thousands of dollars in half a year, you should stay away.

All the people who have started a business and are telling stories to start a business, you'd better find more time to say what you usually say in front of the mirror several times every day. If you can't laugh, it's not too late to go out and talk. Perhaps, I will "do something by myself" in the future, and perhaps more likely, I won't do it. I want to do well more than many completely unreliable ambitions. One day, this strange and hysterical entrepreneurial tide will gradually disappear. On that day, when you encourage someone to start a business, others will tell you that you just started a business. Your family is engaged in entrepreneurship!

Learn to cooperate with others.

A doctor 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. It happened that the director and deputy director were around him and were fishing. He just nodded slightly. What are these two undergraduates talking about?

After a while, the director put down the fishing rod, stretched himself and walked briskly across the water to go to the toilet. The doctor's eyes are about to fall off. Floating on the water? Really? This is a pond. When the director came back from the toilet, he also floated back from the water. What's going on here? It's hard to ask a doctoral student. He's a doctor!

After a while, the deputy director also stood up, took a few steps and floated across the water to go to the toilet. Now the doctor almost fainted: no way, go to a place where Jianghu experts are concentrated?

Doctoral students are also very anxious. There are walls on both sides of this pond. It takes more than ten minutes to go to the toilet opposite, and it's too far to go back to work. What should I do? Doctoral students don't want to ask the two directors. After holding back for a long time, they got up and stepped into the water: I don't believe undergraduates can pass, but my doctoral students can't.

The doctor fell into the water with a bang. Two directors pulled him out and asked him why he had to go into the water. He asked: Why can you walk there?

The two directors smiled at each other: there are two rows of wooden stakes in this pond. Because it rained these two days, the water just rose below the water surface. We all know the location of the stake, so we can step on it. Why don't you ask?

Workplace think tank:

Education represents the past, and only learning ability can represent the future. People who respect experience can take fewer detours. A good team should be a learning team.

Inspirational philosophical story in the workplace 10 bird and cow dung A bird is flying to the south for the winter. It was so cold that the bird froze, fell from the sky and landed in a large farmland. When it was lying in the field, a cow came and took a shit on it. Frozen birds lie in a pile of cow dung. Digging cow dung is so warm. Cow dung slowed it down! It lay there, warm and happy, and soon began to sing happily. A passing cat heard the birds singing and came over to find out. Following the sound, the cat found the bird hidden in the cow dung, quickly dug it out and ate it! The moral of this story is ... 1) Not everyone who pulls your shit is your enemy. 2) Not everyone who pulls you out of the shit pile is your friend. 3) Besides, when you are stuck in a pile of shit, shut the fuck up!

Inspirational philosophical stories in the workplace 1 1 Pay more than you get.

A said to B: I want to leave this company. I hate this company! B suggestion: I raise my hands in favor of your revenge! ! This broken company must give it some color to see see. But now is not the best time for you to leave. Q: Why? B said: If you leave now, the company will not lose much. You should take advantage of the opportunity in the company, try your best to attract some customers for yourself, become an independent figure in the company, and then suddenly leave the company with these customers. The company will suffer heavy losses and be very passive. A thinks what B said is very reasonable. So he worked hard and got what he wanted. After more than half a year's efforts, he has many loyal customers. When we meet again, B asks A: It's time to jump, so hurry up! A smiled indifferently: the boss talked to me for a long time and was going to promote me to be the assistant to the general manager. I have no plans to leave for the time being.

Workplace think tank:

A person's work, only pay more than get, let the boss really see that your ability is greater than your position, will give you more opportunities to create more profits for him.
