Nowadays, in front of the window of an uninhabited house, an unknown bird always visits on time every day. From a distance, I saw it standing on the windowsill, hitting the glass window with its head, and then it was always knocked back to the windowsill. But it persisted, hitting it for ten minutes every day, then falling back to the windowsill and leaving at once. People were curious and guessed that it was probably to enter that room, and next to the windowsill where the bird stood, another window was wide open, so they came to the conclusion that it was a big stupid bird.

It was not until one day that a nosy person brought a telescope that the truth came out: the window glass was covered with the bodies of small fireflies, and the birds ate happily.

Everyone was in an uproar. People always like to impose their own way of thinking on others, self-righteous.

(2) Fate

One day, the angel of God came to this world, and he met a monk who was divining the future for two children. I saw the monk pointing to one of the children and saying "No.1 scholar" and pointing to another child and saying "beggar".

Twenty years later, the angel of God came to earth again and saw the two children. As a result, he was puzzled: the original "champion" has now become a beggar, but the original "beggar" has become a champion.

So the messenger went to ask God.

God said, "the talent I give to everyone only determines one-third of his fate, and the rest depends on how he grasps it."

Life is like this. ...

(3) be quiet.

Someone gave two painters a question entitled "Quiet" and asked them to draw a picture expressing the same theme.

The first painter drew a lake, very calm, like a mirror. In addition, he drew some flowers and plants from distant mountains and lakes to make them reflect in the water.

The second painter painted a waterfall with a small tree and a bird's nest on its branches. There is a bird in the nest. The bird is sleeping peacefully.

People naturally say that the second painter painted very well, because it really understood the meaning of silence; The lake painted by the first painter is still, but it is just a stagnant pool.

Life is the same.

Many times, life needs us to keep a calm heart, but if our heart is like a lake, it will inevitably hide evil people and be distorted. On the other hand, a bird can sleep quietly by a rushing waterfall. It must be arrogant, saving its strength and waiting for an opportunity to fly.

Even in a busy city, you can keep a calm heart, be arrogant, obedient and have no regrets. This is the great realm of life.

Please do not open the wrong window.

A girl is lying on the windowsill of her bedroom. What she saw was that her neighbor was burying a puppy. This puppy is so cute that little girls often play with it. Seeing the tragic death of the puppy, the little girl could not help but burst into tears and was heartbroken. When her grandfather saw this scene, he took the little girl to another room and opened another window. Looking out from this window, it is a rose garden, sunny and fragrant with birds and flowers. The little girl's melancholy dark clouds were swept away and her mood suddenly brightened up.

The old man lovingly said to his granddaughter, "Son, you opened the wrong window."

In the journey of life, don't we often open the wrong window?

(5) Busy

A lumberjack found a job in a timber factory with good salary and working conditions. He cherishes it and is determined to do it well.

On the first day, the boss gave him a sharp axe and demarcated the logging area for him. On this day, the workers cut down 18 trees, and the boss said, "Well done!" "The worker was a little carried away: the next day, he worked harder, but only cut down 15 trees; On the third day, he redoubled his efforts, but only cut down 10 trees.

The worker felt ashamed and ran to the boss to apologize, saying that he didn't know why, as if his strength was getting weaker and weaker.

The boss asked, "When was the last time you sharpened an axe?"

"sharpen an axe?" The worker said in surprise, "I am busy cutting down trees every day, so how can I have time to sharpen my axe?"

(6) Cost

One day, the dog wandered on the road and passed a butcher shop. The butcher dropped a bone. The dog excitedly took the bone and walked aside, enjoying it. When the dog wandered for the second time, he came to the butcher's shop again, and the butcher still threw him a piece of meat.

At this point, dogs like it here, because every time they pass by, there is something delicious.

One day, the dog came here with a happy mood. Unexpectedly, the butcher threw a trap for it this time. The trap strangled the dog, and soon the dog suffocated.

The dog's soul floated to the sky, and when he saw the shop, he cried sadly, "God, why did the owner treat me so well when I passed the butcher shop twice before, but hurt me the third time?"

God sighed and replied, "First of all, you have to ask yourself, why don't you stop taking advantage of it twice?"

(7) Go to the market

Two farmers made a bet in front of the market: one picked a straw to go to the market, and the other took a straw to go to the market, but who got to the market first. So, the two set off together.

Along the way, people carrying straw carry heavy burdens on their shoulders, dare not slack off at all, and go all out to advance towards their goals; People with straws think they are a shoo-in, absent-minded, fiddling with straws and laughing with acquaintances. ...

Near noon, the straw pickers came to the market first. After a long time, people with straw staggered and came empty-handed.

The straw picker asked, "Dude, where's your straw?"

"Ah ..." Zheng, the man with the straw, can't remember where he put it.

It seems that stress is not a bad thing.

(8) the heart of love

This is a true story that happened in England.

A lonely old man, childless and sickly, decided to move to a nursing home and announced the sale of his beautiful house.

News of the purchase poured in. The base price of the house was 60,000 pounds, but people quickly fired it to 65,438+10,000, and the price is still rising. The old man sat alone on the sofa, full of melancholy. Yes, if he is in poor health, he won't sell the house where he spent most of his life.

A young man in plain clothes came to the old man, crouched down and whispered, "Sir, I really want to buy this house, but I only have 65,438+00,000 pounds."

The old man said firmly, "but its reserve price is 60 thousand pounds!" "

Not depressed, the young man said sincerely, "If you sell me the house, I promise you will still live here, have tea, read newspapers and walk with me, and be happy every day."

The old man nodded and smiled. He really sold the house to the young man for only 65,438+00,000.

You don't have to kill and cheat in cold blood to realize your dreams.

(9) Three travelers

Three travelers checked into a hotel at the same time. Going out in the morning, one traveler brought an umbrella, another traveler brought a cane, and the third traveler brought nothing.

When he came back at night, the traveler with an umbrella was soaked to the skin, and the traveler with crutches was hurt all over. The third traveler asked him why he was wet and why he fell down.

The traveler with an umbrella said, "When the rain came, I walked boldly in the rain because I had an umbrella, but I didn't know how to get wet;" Walking on the muddy and bumpy road, I walked very carefully because I didn't have crutches, so I chose a flat place to walk, so I didn't fall. "

The traveler on crutches said, "I didn't get wet when the rain came, because I didn't bring an umbrella." Walking on the muddy and bumpy road, I walk with crutches, but I don't know why I often fall down. "

The third traveler smiled and said, "That's why you got wet with an umbrella and fell down with a cane, but I was safe." When the rain came, I avoided walking. When the road was bad, I walked carefully, so I didn't get wet or fall. Your mistake is that you have advantages, and with advantages, you have less troubles. "

(10) nose

Lao Zhang is a teacher in a primary school in the suburbs. In this school, almost all are young female teachers, and no one wants to do that smelly job of flushing toilets. Lao Zhang said, "I'll do it. Anyway, I grew up with sinusitis and my sense of smell is not good. "

This rush is more than ten years.

Lao Zhang didn't get much from it. No one thinks there is anything wrong. Everyone thinks that Lao Zhang has a bad nose and should do this smelly job.

On a cold winter morning, Lao Zhang got up early as usual, kicked open the bedroom doors of two female teachers, wrapped them in pajamas with quilts and carried them out one by one. ...

Afterwards, the doctor said that as long as it was twenty minutes late, the two young lives would be over forever.

The headmaster is puzzled: can Lao Zhang smell liquefied gas with this nose?

Lao Zhang smiled and said nothing.

In the future, people will often see Lao Zhang burying his head in the toilet. ...

Some people around us do a lot for others, but seldom think of themselves. ...

(1 1) Maritime rescue

The story happened in a small fishing village in the Netherlands a few years ago. That night, it was dark and windy, and the storm at sea overturned a fishing boat. At the critical moment, the crew issued an SOS emergency call for help. After hearing the news, the villagers in the small fishing village immediately organized a rescue team to rescue the shipwrecked crew. ...

An hour later, the rescue boat came back and gradually reached the beach through the fog. At this time, the captain of the rescue team told the villagers waiting on the beach that only one person could not be rescued because the rescue boat could not carry all the shipwreck members, and the captain asked another team of volunteer rescuers to come to the rescue.

Sixteen-year-old Hans came out, but his arm was gripped by his mother: "Please don't go. Your father was killed in a shipwreck ten years ago and your brother Paul went to sea three weeks ago. There is no sound training now. " Hans, you are my only support! "

Hans replied, "mom, I have to go!" What if everyone says,' I can't go, someone else will go'? Mom, this is my responsibility. When someone asks for help, we must take turns to play our role. " Hans kissed his mother, joined the team and disappeared into the darkness.

Another hour later, the rescue boat finally appeared through the fog, and Hans was standing at the bow. The captain on the beach crossed his hands and shouted to Hans, "Did you find the man who stayed?" Hans replied happily and loudly, "Yes, we found him. Tell my mother that he is my brother Paul! "

(12) The enemy's gate

Wang Erhe became enemies because of the dispute over the neighboring wall, and they did not contact each other until they died.

Once, Wang Er went to visit relatives, closed the door and locked it in bronze.

In the evening, two swallows circled outside Wang Er's house, muttering sadly, because there were still some hungry swallows in the nest.

When Chen Si saw this scene, he thought: This is killing! He dismissed his concerns, approached the Wangs, pushed the door open a crack and let the swallows fly in and out freely.

When Wang Er came, he stood in front of the door and said, "Who did a good deed? Otherwise the swallow will starve to death! "

Chen Si took the stubble at his door and said, "In the future, leave a gap when you leave."

The closed door of two friends in bad karma was gently pushed open by a nest of swallows.

(13) candle core

When I moved to the new house, the hostess didn't finish cleaning up. Suddenly, the power went out and the room was dark.

Hardly had the hostess touched the candles and matches when someone knocked at the door.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was a little boy with his face up and his hands behind his back. "Aunt, do you have candles at home?"

How come? On the first day I moved here, my neighbor asked my children to borrow something. Isn't this bullying new people? Lend candles to his house today, and maybe borrow onions, ginger and garlic tomorrow. No, no. The hostess said, "Oh, unfortunately, my aunt just moved here and didn't prepare any candles." Then she was ready to close the door.

"Aunt, look, my mother asked me to send it." The little boy magically pulled out his hand from behind and held up two thick candles.

Facing the clear eyes of the child, the hostess was shocked, then leaned against the door feebly, covered her face with her hands, and dared not look at the child. ...

The world is a mirror.

A goodwill ambassador of the United Nations went to a country in Africa, and when he came back, he declared that the people there were the worst hosts in the world: the faces of customs officers were smashed, the taxi drivers had a bad attitude, the waiters in restaurants were arrogant and rude, and the citizens were impatient and hostile.

Later, the goodwill ambassador saw a passage: "The world is a mirror, and everyone sees his own image in it." So when he went to that country again, he smiled all the way. As a result, he didn't see any unhappy customs officials, taxi drivers and waiters ... everyone was smiling and friendly.

Only then did he realize that the quickest way to correct other people's attitudes was to correct his own.

(15) One night and a lifetime

Many years ago, on a stormy night, an old couple walked into the lobby of a hotel and asked for a room reservation.

"Excuse me," said a young waiter behind the counter. "We signed a contract with the group attending the meeting." Seeing the old couple's face of regret, the waiter quickly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I really can't imagine that you have no place to live when you leave here on such a night." If you don't mind, you can stay in my room for one night. This is not a luxury suite, but it is clean. I will work overtime here tonight. "

The next day, when the old man went downstairs to pay the accommodation fee, the waiter politely refused the old man and said, "My room is free."

A few years later, one day, the waiter suddenly received a letter from the old man, inviting him to meet in Manhattan with a round-trip ticket. A few days later, the waiter came to Manhattan and met the old man in front of a luxurious building. The old man pointed to the building in front of him and explained, "This is the hotel I built specially for you." This restaurant became very famous in America, and the waiter became the first general manager of this restaurant. Young people never imagined that the reward he got with a night's sincerity turned out to be the glory of his life.

Economics tells us that the scarcest things are the most valuable. In business activities, sincerity is the scarcest.

(16) the door to goodness

Once, Kanmi, a Japanese kabuki master, played an ancient hiker. Just as he was about to play, a pupil reminded him, "Master, your sandals are loose."

He answered "thank you" and immediately squatted down to tie his shoelaces.

When he reached the stage entrance where the protected person could not see, he squatted down again and loosened the strap he had just tied.

Obviously, Kanmi wants to show people's fatigue after a long journey with loose sandals. After the play, someone asked Kami, "Why didn't you teach the students at that time? He doesn't understand the true meaning of this kind of acting! "

Kami replied: "The goodwill and kindness of others must be accepted frankly, and don't shut the door of others' goodwill to you at will." "

(17) put a butterfly.

One autumn morning, the head teacher had just sat down in the school office when someone informed him that two windows in his class were broken by the autumn wind last night. He immediately realized what this meant in this very strict school.

At noon, he called Zhu Lan, the student on duty yesterday. She said timidly, "There were two butterflies in the teacher's classroom after school last night. I rushed for a long time, but one could not fly out of the classroom. I had to open a window to let the outside fly in or the inside fly out and let them play together. I didn't expect the wind to blow the glass. " Zhu Lan said shyly that he was willing to pay for these two pieces of glass.

The head teacher was silent for a long time and said, "No, go and play."

Later, the head teacher went to the finance office: "Please deduct two pieces of glass from my salary next month."

This is a sum of money that he is willing to pay. ...

(18) Non-homicide

Liu Duichang, the criminal police escort, crossed the Rocky Mountain, and God played tricks on people. Suddenly, a big stone rolled towards the prisoner on the mountain. Liu Duichang shouted "Get out of the way" and pushed the prisoner away, but he was hit by a big stone.

The prisoner was stunned. I didn't expect Liu Duichang to save him. Looking at Liu Duichang lying in a pool of blood, he couldn't help losing his voice. Liu Duichang struggled to sit up, fumbled for paper and pen, and trembling wrote three crooked words: "No-he-kills". After signing the name, he gasped and handed the note to the prisoner, and his blood gurgled out. ...

The prisoner plopped down on his knees and twitched violently. For a long time, he silently picked up Liu Duichang's bloody body and staggered forward step by step. ...

Some things happen in a flash, but they will be celebrated forever.

(19) Love is in my heart.

A coachman is driving a carriage. At this moment, a stranger appeared in front of him and asked for a ride. The coachman quickly reined in, stopped the carriage and let the hitchhiker come up.

The hitchhiker saw that the book in the coachman's hand was actually a Bible and asked, "Do you understand the meaning of the book?" The coachman shook his head and said, "I have read this book for four or five years, but I still don't understand its meaning."

Hearing this, the hitchhiker smiled and said, "It's not difficult. As long as you think you can understand it, then you can understand it. " The coachman suddenly realized that God's love was already in his heart, because he could stop on the way to help others.

(20) the philosophy of turning on the light

There is a blind man living in a building. Every night, he goes for a walk in the garden downstairs. Strangely, whether going upstairs or downstairs, he can only grope along the wall, but he must light the street lights in the corridor.

One day, a neighbor couldn't help but ask him curiously, "Why do you turn on the light when you can't see?"

The blind man smiled and said, "turning on the light can bring convenience to others going upstairs and downstairs, and it will also bring convenience to me."

The neighbor said doubtfully, "I can't see with my eyes. What convenience can it bring to turn on the light? "

The blind man said, "people who go up and down the stairs will see the road clearly after turning on the light and won't knock me down." Isn't this convenient for me? "

The neighbor suddenly realized.

It often happens in life, which brings convenience to others as well as to oneself. ...

(2 1) Remember to help.

Once, two friends, Gilbert and Martha, traveled together. Passing through a valley, Martha slipped. Fortunately, Gilbert gave him a hard hand before telling him that he was saved. So, Martha carved a line on a big stone nearby: Gibb saved Martha's life on a certain day in a certain year.

After walking for a few days, they came to a river. Gilbert and Misha quarreled over a trifle. In a rage, Gilbert slapped Misha, so Misha ran to the seaside and wrote a line: Gilbert slapped Misha on a certain day in a certain month.

Soon after, they came back from their trip. After knowing this, someone asked Masha curiously why he carved the story of Gilbert saving him on a stone and the story of Gilbert beating him on the sand. Martha said, "I will always be grateful to Gilbert for saving me. As for him hitting me, I will forget all about it with the disappearance of the handwriting on the beach. "

Remember others' kindness to us and wash away their resentment. Only in the journey of life can Wan Li be clear.

(22) Small favors

A circus came to a city. Six boys in clean clothes lined up hand in hand behind their parents, waiting to buy tickets. They talked about the performance happily, as if they were going to perform on the stage on an elephant.

Finally, it's their turn. The conductor asked him how many tickets he wanted, and his father replied, "Please give me six tickets for children and two tickets for adults."

The conductor quoted the price.

Mother's heart was shaking. She turned her head and hung her face very low. Father asked softly, "How much did you say?"

The conductor repeated the price. Father has pain in his eyes. He really can't bear to tell the cheerful children around him that we don't have enough money.

A man waiting in line to buy a ticket witnessed all this. He reached into his pocket quietly, took out a $50 bill and let it fall to the ground. Then he patted his father on the shoulder, pointed to the ground and said, "Sir, you dropped the money."

Father turned around and understood the reason. As soon as his eyes were hot, he bent down to pick up the money on the ground, and then held the man's hand tightly: "Thank you, sir, it means a lot to me and my family."

Sometimes, a little kindness from the heart will create a life stage of great love.

(twenty-three) the heart is sound.

A little girl was excluded from the choir by the teacher. The little girl hid in the park and wept bitterly. After a while, she sang in a low voice.

At this moment, a voice sounded: "What a beautiful song! Thank you, little girl, you made me have a pleasant afternoon. " The speaker is an old man with white hair. With that, he stood up and left.

The next day, the old man still sat in his original seat, listening to the little girl singing kindly. ...

Many years later, the little girl became a famous singer, but she couldn't forget the kind old man sitting in the park chair. One winter afternoon, she went to the park on purpose, but she was disappointed. There is only a lonely little armchair. Later, she learned that the old man had passed away.

"He is deaf. He has been deaf for more than twenty years. " An insider told the little girl that year.

(24) butterfly fishing

There was a seven-year-old girl who refused to go fishing in the countryside with her parents. She said that she felt distressed when she saw the bleeding fish, and she would rather stay at home alone than go fishing with her parents.

Another weekend, the neighbors heard the little girl crying. It turned out that she still didn't want to go fishing together and was spanked by her father.

When the neighbors came downstairs after a nap, they saw the little girl on the balcony on the third floor of her house, waving a beautiful fishing rod and fishing.

The neighbor walked over curiously and looked up and asked her what she was doing.

The little girl happily told her neighbor that she had caught a butterfly and the bait was a beautiful rose.

In fact, she also likes fishing, but she can't bear to watch the sharp hook pierce the fish mouth, so she chose a flower as bait. Of course, this can only attract some butterflies or bees, but it has made her very satisfied.

The neighbor was moved by the little girl's gentle heart. When she looked up at the little girl, the sun shone obliquely on her face, looking like a little angel.

In fact, beauty and goodness are the same thing.

(25) Give up sincerely.

A young man noticed that the long branches of a pot of winter jasmine he planted on the balcony gradually extended downstairs, so he decided to pull them up and fix them, but just before he started, he gave up the idea. He thinks it's too stingy. Soon, Yingchun soon hung curtains on the balcony downstairs.

The next spring, the young man was surprised to find a vine climbing up his balcony. He bent down to look, only to see a beautiful face smiling at him. It turned out that the people downstairs appreciated the young man's gift, and in return, they planted a grape to climb up ... In the long run, the upstairs and downstairs were ripe, and when the grapes matured for the second time, the young man and the daughter of the downstairs family harvested their mature love.

After reading this beautiful story, people will feel gratified: the young man just sent a curtain of green to others between his hands, but he gained unexpected sincerity and good luck. ...

I have to do something for you.

A group of hungry refugees flocked to a small town. When the mayor brought them food, many refugees ate it with relish except a young man. He said to the mayor, "Sir, you have given me so much delicious food. What can I do? " The mayor smiled: "I just want to give you some help." Where can I find a job for you? " But the young man didn't appreciate it: "no, sir, I won't take your meal without a job." Really, sir, I have to do something for you! " "There is really no other way to think about it. The mayor has to squat down and let the young man beat his back.

Later, the young man was left behind and the mayor married his daughter to him. Twenty years later, the young man became the world oil king.

There are many factors contributing to this young man's success, but his attitude of refusing to get something for nothing has won him precious self-esteem. It seems that to build a successful building, in addition to self-confident cement and self-improvement bricks, it is also inseparable from the kind of steel bar called self-esteem

(XXVII) Shoes

On a cold winter day many years ago, in new york, a ten-year-old boy stood in front of a shoe store in Baihui, barefoot, staring at the window, shivering with cold.

A woman approached the boy and said, "What are you looking at, little guy?"

"I asked God to give me a pair of shoes."

The woman took the child into the shop and asked the clerk to get half a dozen socks for the boy. Then she asked the clerk if she could give her a basin of water and a towel, and the clerk quickly gave it to her.

She took the little boy to the back of the shop, took off his gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet and dried them with a towel. At this time, the salesman brought socks, and the woman put on a pair of socks for the boy, bought him a pair of shoes, and handed the extra socks to the boy in a belt.

She patted the little boy on the head and said, "There is no doubt that you must feel much more comfortable now, little one."

When she turned to leave, the surprised child grabbed her hand and looked at her with tears and asked, "Are you God's wife?"

(28) heaven and hell

A man asked God, "Why are people in heaven happy and people in hell not happy at all?"

God said, "Do you want to know? Ok, I'll show you around. "

They first came to hell and walked into a room. They saw many people sitting around a big pot and cooking delicious food in the pot, but everyone felt hungry and disappointed. It turns out that the spoons in their hands are too long to send food to their mouths.

God said, "Let's go to heaven again."

So they went to another room and saw another scene: although the spoons in people's hands were also very long, everyone here seemed very happy and satisfied.

This man is very strange. God smiled and said, "Look down and you will know."

It's time to eat, but people here use spoons to send food to other people's mouths.

In fact, happiness lies not in how long the spoon is, but in how you use it.

(29) Golden Man

Once a small country came to China to pay tribute to three identical gold people. The splendor of the golden wall made the emperor very happy. However, this small country is not kind, and at the same time a question arises: who is the most valuable of these three gold people? The emperor thought of many ways to ask the jeweler to check, weigh and watch the work, all of which were exactly the same. What shall we do? The messenger is still waiting for a return. A vast country, you don't even understand this little thing? Finally, an old minister who abdicated said that he had an idea. The emperor invited the emissary to the main hall, and the old minister confidently took three straws and inserted them into the ear of the first gold man. The straw came out of the other ear. The straw of the second gold man fell out directly from his mouth, and the straw of the third gold man fell into his stomach without any noise. The old minister said: the third gold man is the most valuable! The messenger was silent and the answer was correct.

This story tells us that the most valuable person is not necessarily the most talkative person. God gave us two ears and one mouth, which was supposed to make us listen more and talk less. Being good at listening is the most basic quality of a mature person.

(30) Windows

There is a wife who has been complaining about her laziness for years. "That woman's clothes can never be washed clean. Look, the clothes she hangs outside in the yard are always dirty. I really don't know how she can wash clothes like this ... "

It was not until one day that a discerning friend came to her house that she discovered that it was not the wife across the street who couldn't wash her clothes properly. A careful friend took a rag and wiped the gray stain on the lady's window and said, "Look, isn't this clean?"

It turns out that my window is dirty.
