Seek a longer philosophical story about life or cherish the positive satisfaction of people in front of you.

I always thought I was a generous person. Because I like to give clothes, toys, ornaments and other things I don't like to others.

I think people who receive my little gift will like me and thank me. However, my father doesn't think so. In his view, this is ostensibly generous, but in fact it is stingy. I don't think so.

One day, my father took me to visit his boss. When he left, his boss gave us a box of apples.

When I got home, my father and I opened the box and found some crumpled apples inside, which were bigger than goose eggs. I couldn't help shouting, "What stupid thing is not as good as ours! No one wants to throw it! "

My father pointed to the apples on the ground and said, "These apples tell us at least two things: First, they were given by others. If they were bought by themselves, they would not have been kept for so long. Second, this is something they can't eat, and it's a pity to throw it away, so they will give it to us by the way. " Without looking at those apples, I snorted: "Hum, what a broken thing!" " "

"Yes, what the hell! You should always remember this sentence. This is what you get by giving away things you don't like and don't need! " My face turns red when I brush it. I remember the second-hand clothes, toys and ornaments I gave to others before. When they went home and opened it, they must have said the same thing.

My father looked at me and said, "Remember, don't treat others as fools. He will know the value of this thing as well as you. Either don't send it, or give it to others that you think is the best, favorite and most reluctant. "

Story 2: Beauty and Ugliness

There is an old man who is a famous writer in China. Before he died, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable. The secretary said, "I'll call the doctor." Unexpectedly, just as the secretary was about to open the door, she heard the old man finally say, "It's not' call', it's' please' …" Then the old man fell into a coma and never woke up. ...

Doctors and nurses burst into tears when they heard all this.

A word "please", the warmest and brightest word in the world, is so difficult but very natural to say from a respected old population-it is a beautiful heart!

The old man didn't say anything, this sentence is his last words-these last words are pure and heavy, and in a sense even exceed the movie scripts and articles written by the old man. Because no one will doubt that this sentence, which best reflects the beautiful heart of the old man, is really interpreted by the old man with his life.

This old man is Xia Yan. Knowing this, I understand a truth: humility is a profound education, rooted in the soul, fragrant and flowerless. Then I remembered a character in Balzac's works-Old Grandet. Old Grandet is dying, but he can't give up his wealth. He struggled desperately to see his gold again. When the priest put the gilded cross to his mouth and asked him to kiss it to send his soul to heaven, his eyes miraculously lit up. He tried to make a gesture of "grasping the cross", so this "last effort completely ruined his life".

That's great. Balzac actually used such a vivid detail to create the image of a number one miser.

Xia Yan left, and so did Grandet. However, their performance at the last moment of life has such a big contrast, one is beautiful and the other is absolutely ugly!

Story 3: the wisdom of borrowing eggs

People who work in the office every day are like staying in a small circle. Close contact has brought them closer together. It is not easy for newcomers to step into this circle, and they often feel a sense of loneliness.

After graduating from college, my friend Shanshan has changed jobs three times. Although she stayed in one place for a short time at a time, she became good friends with her colleagues, which made people reluctant to leave. I envied her so much that I asked her what the secret was.

Shanshan told me a story: when a foreign housewife was cooking dinner, she saw that she had moved to a new house across the hall and went to borrow eggs to bake a cake. After the cake was baked, she gave another piece to others to taste. After a while, she became familiar with the housewife of that family. In fact, there are many eggs in her refrigerator. She just borrowed eggs to create contact opportunities for her family and lay the foundation for good neighborhood relations in the future. Shanshan said that the relationship between office colleagues also needs to be "managed" with a little thought. Just arrived in a new working environment, only by finding opportunities to increase contact with colleagues around you and get familiar with them as soon as possible can we adapt to the new job quickly. In addition to the contact at work, Shanshan also has her special "small means". For example, during lunch break, I bought a bag of beautiful candy from the supermarket and distributed it to every colleague when I got back to the office. Some people will at least give a smile in return even if they don't like candy. Within a month, Shanshan became "one piece" with her colleagues, and everyone affectionately called her "Little Rabbit".

But there is a premise that you must communicate sincerely with your colleagues. If it is only for utilitarian purposes, it will not help, but will be annoying.

Story 4: Go on the road with kindness

A trafficker kidnapped a 5-year-old boy. The boy doesn't cry like other children. He kept calling uncle trafficker, took out a candy from his pocket and said, "Uncle, I like this candy best. Does your child like candy, too? Uncle, you are so sweet. " At this time, Yu Cai, the trafficker, remembered that he also had a home and a 5-year-old daughter. Her daughter likes candy, too. Every time she eats candy, she will give him one in her mouth and gently ask, "Dad, is it sweet?" Traffickers realize that life has its sweet side in the most difficult times. The little boy's words aroused the conscience of the trafficker, which has not been completely extinguished, and also aroused his cherish for the human family. He decided to turn himself in. After solving the case, all the criminals except him were sentenced to death, and only he was sentenced to 15 years. It can be said that the kindness left in his heart saved him, because if he didn't return the child and surrender himself at that time, he would eventually be caught and sentenced to death sooner or later.

There is another story, which I experienced personally. After graduating from high school, I became a construction worker because I didn't go to college. One day, I was standing under the scaffold with a worker, and suddenly there was a scream around me. I found a shadow coming from where the worker stood. I didn't think much, so I rushed to the craftsman around me and pushed him away. Just then, there was a loud noise behind me. I looked back and saw a heavy concrete slab fall where I stood just now. I'm glad I saved myself by saving others. At that moment, I stood in the warm sunshine, blowing the warm spring breeze. The blue sky and white clouds are overhead, and the workers' blessed faces are nearby. I have never felt so strongly that life is so precious and beautiful because of kindness.

In the journey of life, please walk with kindness, because kindness is the patron saint of your life, and it will bring you luck, friendship and the most beautiful blessings in the world.

Story 5: The Power of Commitment

One day, the child and his father were guests at a friend's house. After the guests were seated, the host made tea for them, put the thermos bottle on the table, and left the living room to the back room as if remembering something. When the father and son were enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window, they suddenly heard a huge explosion. When they looked back, it turned out that the thermos bottle fell to the ground and broke.

When the host heard the sound, he hurried out of the back room and said, "Never mind, never mind." His father paused a little and said it was accidentally knocked over. Later, the father and son bid farewell to their master. On the way home, the son asked his father, "You didn't touch it. Why do you want to admit your mistake? " Father smiled: "in life, sometimes you need the courage to take responsibility, not to defend yourself." People are more willing to tolerate a person who admits mistakes, and it is useless to argue. "

There is a story in which the Zen master told the young monk that he lost his beads after learning Buddhism, and the person who wanted to steal them admitted it himself. No one admitted it for a long time, and finally the Zen master let them go down the mountain. At this moment, a blind monk stopped. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. He was a pearl thief. The Zen master asked, "Did you steal the beads?" The monk replied, "No, I just hope this matter can be solved. You don't have to doubt your brothers. " The Zen master smiled. He took the beads out of his arms and praised, "Although you are blind, you are a real Buddhist!" "

Whether in the workplace or at home, the courage to take responsibility will definitely make people trust you more and support you more. Because only people with a sense of responsibility can become people who support the world.

Story 6: A real businessman

A man passed by a busy railway station and saw a man with a disabled leg set up a pencil stand. He accidentally left 100 yuan as charity. But not long after he left, the man came back. He said apologetically to the disabled, "I'm sorry, you are a businessman, but I actually took you as a beggar." After a while, he passed the railway station again, and the owner of a shop called him at the door with a smile. "I have been looking forward to your appearance," said the disabled person. "You are the first person to treat me as a businessman. You see, I am a real businessman now. "

Story 7: Dreams

A man had a dream in which he came to a two-story house. When I entered the first floor, I found a long big table. There are people sitting at the table, and the table is full of rich food, but no one can eat it. Because everyone's arms were cursed by the magician, they all straightened, their elbows couldn't bend, and the food on the table couldn't be held. Everyone was very sad. But he heard the laughter upstairs, and he went upstairs curiously. There are still a group of people who can't bend their elbows, but everyone has a good time. It turns out that although everyone's arms can't be straight, everyone is happy to eat because the people on the other side help each other and feed each other.

Story 8: Shout Mountain

A child ran to the mountain and inadvertently shouted to the valley: "Hello …" As soon as the voice fell, echoes of "Hello …" came from all directions. Dashan agreed. The child was surprised and shouted, "Who are you?" Dashan also replied, "Who are you?" The child shouted, "Why didn't you tell me?" Dashan also said, "Why didn't you tell me?"

The child couldn't help getting angry and shouted, "I hate you." He didn't know that the shout was incredible. The voice from all over the world is: "I hate you, I hate you ..."

The child ran home crying and told his mother. The mother said to the child, "Son, go back and shout' I love you' to the mountain and try to see what the result will be, okay?" "

The child ran to the mountain again. Sure enough, this time the child was surrounded by the echo of "I-love-you, I-love-you …".

The children laughed, and so did the mountains.

The boy shook his head puzzled.

Story 9: Be your own master

When the calf saw the cow sweating under the whip of the farmer, it felt very sad. He asked, "Mom, the world is so big, why should we suffer here?"

The cow replied with sweat, "son, we can't help it." Now that we have eaten other people's food, we can't help it. This has been the case for generations! "

Habit is your master from the beginning. If you are enslaved by it for a long time, you will be "involuntarily" and become its slave. On the contrary, if the habit is enslaved by you, you become the master of the habit. If you have good habits, you will have a happy and beautiful life.

Story 10: Watch out for scorpions around you.

One day, a frog was sitting by the river. A scorpion passed by and said to him, "Mr. Frog, I want to cross the river, but I can't swim." Can you be merciful and let me sit on your back and take me across the river? "

The frog said, "But you are a scorpion. Scorpions like to sting frogs best. "

The scorpion said, "Why should I sting you? My purpose is to go to the other side of the river. "

"All right!" The frog said, "As long as you don't sting me, I will accompany you across the river."

However, as soon as they reached the middle of the river, the scorpion involuntarily gave the frog a hard thorn. The frog struggled painfully and asked, "why did you stab me?" Now, neither of us can live. "

Scorpion said, "I can't help it, because I am a scorpion, and scorpions just like to sting frogs." I really can't control myself. "

Story 1 1: jumping out of the ditch

A little frog is tired of living in a small ditch all the year round-there is less and less water in the ditch, and it has no food. The little frog kept jumping every day to escape from this place. And its companion squatted lazily in the muddy puddle all day and said, "aren't you still hungry?" What's the hurry? " Finally, one day, Xiaoqing frog jumped into a big pond nearby. There was a lot of delicious food in it. He could swim freely. .

The little frog croaked his partner, "Come here, this is heaven!" " But his companion said, "I'm used to it here. I have lived here since I was a child. I am too lazy to move! " "

Soon, the water in the ditch dried up and the little frog's companion starved to death.

Only by daring to break one's own inherent circle can one change one's destiny and have a broader development space. Those who stick to the rules and don't want to get out of their usual trajectory will always be narrow-minded and will never make a breakthrough.

Story 12: Don't let cockroaches hurt you.

A man brought a cockroach to his new home. He will soon find that the whole clean house has become their world. Their reproductive capacity is amazing. But their harm goes far beyond this. What's really scary is that cockroaches like dirty things best, and they go wherever they are not clean. Even the cleanest place, as long as they climb over it, will become a breeding ground for bacteria.

This man tried to kill them by some means, such as cockroach house, cockroach medicine and other modern scientific weapons, but he found that cockroaches also obviously entered modernization. No matter what means, they are always getting stronger and stronger. Their advantage is everywhere. As long as there is a little hiding place, they can settle down and breed, and then go out to spread viruses and filth. So his clothes, his suitcase, his cupboard and his bed became their unrestrained stage.

Finally, the man found that the only way to kill them was to throw away all the clothes, all the boxes, all the cabinets and beds.

Story 13: Turn off the children behind you.

Former British Prime Minister Lloyd? George has the habit of closing the door behind him.

One day, George and his friends were walking in the yard. Whenever they pass a door, George always closes it behind him. "Do you need to close these doors?" My friend is confused.

"Oh, of course it is necessary." George smiled and said to his friend, "I have been closing the door behind me all my life." You know, it's necessary. When you close the door, you will also forget everything in the past, whether it is a beautiful achievement or an annoying mistake, and then you can start over. "

Story 14: It is better to get rid of it than to kill it.

The rooster gets up in the morning to announce the dawn. At dawn, the master offered to kill him.

Another rooster got up in the morning to announce the dawn. At dawn, the master offered to kill him. Another rooster got up in the morning to announce the dawn, but at dawn, he was put forward by his master and killed.

The neighbor was puzzled and asked, "These cocks are punctual at dawn every day. Why did you kill them? "

The man said, "I have the habit of getting up late in the morning, but they call early."

The neighbor said, "It's not their fault. It is the duty of the rooster to announce the dawn. "

The man said, "I don't care about this." What I need is a rooster that mates with hens, not a rooster that announces dawn. "

The neighbor said, "But the rooster can't help but announce the dawn. Can't you solve the problem in another way? "

"It's hard," said the man. "I tried to cut their throats, and then I tried to tie their mouths, but it was too much trouble, but it was very easy to kill them."

"Then why don't you change your sleeping habits?" The neighbor asked doubtfully.

"How can I change my living habits!" The man said, "I have had this habit for decades." How can I change a few cocks? Besides, I am the host, and they should meet my needs. When their behavior conflicts with mine, they can only suffer. How can it be me? "

So the man kept the habit of killing chickens.

Story 15: Do you still have enthusiasm?

Psychologists put a hungry crocodile and some small fish at both ends of the aquarium, with transparent glass plates in the middle.

At first, crocodiles attacked small fish without hesitation. I failed, but I was not discouraged. Then, it launched a tenth more violent attack on the small fish. It failed again and was badly hurt. It will attack again, the thirteenth time, the fourteenth time ... after many hopeless attacks, it will not attack again.

At this time, the psychologist removed the baffle and the crocodile stopped attacking the small fish. It still watched helplessly as the little fish swam leisurely under their noses, and it gave up all its efforts.

Regrettably, many of us, like this crocodile, gradually lost our fighting capacity after repeated setbacks, blows and failures. Passion is dead, dreams are dead, and all that remains is dim eyes and sad sighs, helplessness, helplessness and powerlessness.

Story 16: Pick up your gold.

The poor man offered an idol. He prayed devoutly for God's blessing. As a result, he became poorer and poorer.

Later, in a rage, he grabbed the statue and threw it on the wall. The head of the statue was broken and a lot of gold fell out of the skull. The man picked up the gold and said loudly, "I think you are hateful and stupid." When I respect you, you don't give me any benefits. " I smashed you, but you gave me so many good things. "

In life, we consciously or unconsciously made many gods. We are getting used to looking up and being faithful believers. We don't know that every idol may actually contain gold. You can only get it if you break it. Everyone should have the courage to break that statue and pick up his own gold.

Story 17: People you don't like

The students were at odds with each other, which alarmed the teacher.

One day in class, the teacher sent a note to everyone, asking the whole class to write the names of people they didn't like as quickly as possible.

Some students can only think of one in 30 seconds, some students can't even think of one, but some students can list as many as 15 in one breath.

The teacher collects notes one by one and then makes statistical analysis. It turns out that those who list their least likes are themselves the least liked by everyone, while those students who don't like or don't like them very much seldom hate him. So, the teacher came to a conclusion: generally speaking, the criticism they give others is only their own criticism.

When you like others, others may accept you; But when you don't like others, others may not accept you. What you do to others will be used to you by others.

Story 18: Don't lie.

There was a shepherd boy who drove the sheep to a distant village to eat grass. He always likes to lie and joke, and often cries out for help to the villagers, falsely claiming that the wolf is attacking his sheep. At the beginning of two or three times, the people in the village immediately ran in a panic, and after being laughed at by him, they walked back uninteresting. Then, one day, the wolf really came, ran into the sheep and killed them. The shepherd boy desperately called for help in the village, but the villagers thought he was lying and joking as usual, and no one paid attention to him. As a result, all his sheep were eaten by wolves.

Story 19: terrible persistence

This is a 24-person expedition to explore the virgin forest in the upper reaches of the Amazon River.

Due to the special climate of the tropical rain forest, many people have lost contact with the expedition because of serious physical discomfort and other reasons. It was not until two months later that the whole situation of the expedition was thoroughly understood for the first time: 23 of them were killed in the virgin forest because of illness, loss or hunger; Only one of them has created the miracle of survival, and that person is the famous explorer John? Paulson.

Later, many reporters rushed to interview John? Paulson, one of the most frequently asked questions is: "Why are you the only one lucky enough to survive?"

He said a very philosophical sentence: "There is no mountain higher than people, and there is no road longer than people."

Story 20: Difficulties are like springs.

Helen? When Keller was three years old, a serious illness took away her hearing and sight.

Curiosity about the outside world occupied her whole mind, but she couldn't see or hear. She was very sad and miserable.

Violent impact on things in the room, trying to express their unspeakable anger. At last she accepted the cruel truth, and he slowly began to understand. She didn't give up chasing the sunshine of happiness. She has made countless efforts and sweat. She succeeded, she got happiness, and happiness will remain in people's hearts forever.

"Difficulties are like springs. You are strong, it is weak; You are weak, it is strong. " We can't avoid the difficulty, so we should hold our heads high and try our best to overcome it. You will be a winner, a winner.

Story 2 1: two clocks

Two clocks have been busy all their lives.

One day, an old clock said to an Jason Chung man, "You will swing 525,600 times a year."

Jason Chung got a fright and said, "Wow, so many, how is that possible? ! How can I finish it so many times! "

At this time, another old clock smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, you just need to swing for one second and hold on for one second."

Jason Chung was very happy and thought: It doesn't seem difficult to swing for a second. Just try it. Sure enough, posing is easy.

Unconsciously, a year has passed, and Jason Chung has swung 525,600 times!

Story 22: I only do uncertain things.

Wang Wenhua, a famous writer in Taiwan Province and a master of business administration in Stanford University, has made his own achievements in many fields. Asked why he is always so experienced and self-motivated, his answer is only one sentence: "I am not sure what to do."

There is a story in the Buddhist scriptures that two monks, one poor and the other rich, both want to make a pilgrimage to the South China Sea. The rich monk saved money long ago, but the poor monk only took a alms bowl and went on his way. A year later, the poor monk came back from a pilgrimage to the South China Sea, and the preparations for the rich monk were not yet completed.

The rich monk asked, "Why did you go to the South China Sea when you were sleepy?"

The poor monk replied, "if I don't go, I'll be crazy all day." If I take a step, I will be safe. I am very stable, so I am here. "

The so-called sure thing is often the thing that gets the least return. If you want to do it, do what you are not sure about.

You feel uncertain, and others feel uncertain. But if you do, you may succeed. If you don't do it, you will always watch others succeed. Risk and return are always in direct proportion, so is investment, and so is life.

Story 23: Interesting slogan

A scientist learned that death was looking for him, so he copied 12 "himself" by cloning technology, trying to save his life in front of death.

Faced with the same person as 13, the god of death couldn't figure out which was the real goal for a moment, so he had to leave angrily.

But it didn't take long for death, who knew all about human weakness, to come up with a good way to tell the truth from the false.

Death found 13 identical scientists and said to them, "Sir, you are a genius. You can clone such a nearly perfect replica.

Unfortunately, I still found a small flaw in your work. "

After saying his word, the real scientist jumped up and argued loudly: "This is impossible! My technique is perfect! Where is the flaw? "

"This is it." Death caught the speaker and took him away.

A word of criticism or flattery often exposes a person's weakness.

Story 24: Everyone is God.

My colleague recently went to Germany for a business trip and asked a strange question after returning home: In Dortmund, due to official arrangements, he didn't finish work until 5 or 6 pm every day, and he had time to go shopping, but he never got what he wanted. Because as long as one to six o'clock, even if the store is full of customers, the clerk should politely inform: off work, see the guests off. By the weekend, most shops are closed. Mr. Wang is puzzled: "doesn't the market economy mean that customers are God?" Isn't making money the truth? How can they drive God out? " It turns out that in the eyes of Germans, if the door is opened for a while, customers will be satisfied, the boss will benefit, but the interests of the clerk will be harmed. The same is true on weekends, when the doors are open for a long time, the rest time of workers cannot be guaranteed.

When friends are confused, what we see is the labor-capital relationship under the background of mature market economy-customers are God and shop assistants are God!

Story 25: Age.

A friend met an interesting thing in Paris, France: he took a tour guide and his wife to visit a museum, but the staff at the museum gate was only willing to sell them two tickets because the staff thought his wife was under 18 years old. My friend is angry, too. He seriously asked the tour guide to translate for him and told the staff that his wife only looked young, but in fact she was over thirty. The staff insisted on refusing to charge for an extra ticket, which made him very moved and puzzled. Later, he learned that the treatment of museum staff is not linked to the ticket income of the museum. The purpose of French museums is to let more people, especially young people, approach art.

Similarly, a friend who immigrated to Canada talked about age with regret. She said that westerners can never understand the times of the orientals. Every time they go to the bar, they are required to show their ID cards. I really want to tell them: please, I am middle-aged.

Museums and bars are also age limits for young people, one is extremely loose and the other is extremely strict. This is like a good gardener's attitude towards seedlings: he does not hesitate to give sunshine, water, nutrition and love, but refuses all possible violations.
