On February 16, 2007, Kofi Annan, the newly retired UN Secretary-General, hosted a charity dinner in a manor in Texas, USA, to raise money for poor children in Africa. All the invited guests are wealthy businessmen and celebrities. At the beginning of the dinner, an old man led a little girl to the gate of the manor. The little girl is holding a delicate porcelain jar in her hand.
Anthony, the security guard at the entrance of the manor, stopped the old man and the young man. Let them show their invitations. They didn't.
"I'm sorry Except for the staff, people without invitations can't go in. " Anthony said.
"Why? We are here to express our feelings, aren't we? " The old woman's expression is serious. "Dear little Lucy, she really wanted to do something for those poor children and decided to take out all the money in her piggy bank. I don't have to go in there. Are you sure I can't let her in? "
"Yes, there will be a charity dinner here, and all the people invited are very important. I'm glad you came here with love, but I don't think this occasion is suitable for you. " Anthony explained.
"Uncle, charity is not money, but heart, right?" Lucy, a little girl who didn't speak, asked Anthony. Anthony was stunned by her words.
"I know that the invited people are rich and they will come up with a lot of money. I don't have that much, but this is all my money. If I really can't get in, please help me bring this in! " The little girl Lucy finished and handed Anthony her piggy bank.
When Anthony was at a loss, suddenly someone said, "no, son, you are right." Charity is not money, but heart. You can go in, and all caring people can go in. " It's an old man talking. He stood beside little Lucy with a smile. He took out an invitation and handed it to Anthony: "May I take her in?"
Anthony saluted the old man: "Of course, Warren? Mr. Buffett. "
The protagonist of the charity dinner that day was not the initiator Annan, Buffett who donated $3 million, or Bill who donated $8 million? Gates, but little Lucy, who only donated 30 dollars and 25 cents, won the most and warmest applause. The theme slogan of the dinner became this sentence: "Charity is not money, but heart."
Bow your head and hold your head high.
Franklin was called the father of America. When talking about his success, he said it all came from a visit. It was when he was young that he dated an old-timer in a low hut. Franklin is here. He straightened his chest and strode into the door. With a bang, his forehead hit the door frame, and he was bruised and cried. The old-timers who came out to meet him saw him like this and smiled and said, "Does it hurt? You know, this is the biggest gain for you to come to me today. If a person wants to understand the world and practice human feelings, he must always remember to bow his head. " Franklin firmly remembered the teachings of his predecessors. Let modesty be the rule of his life.
I also heard a story about a company that recruited employees and there was a long queue outside the door. Every time a person goes in, the examiner can't help but say, slap in the face and ask, "What's that smell?" Almost all the people came out with their faces covered. Of course, these people are all employed. Later, a young man came in, and the examiner slapped him in the face and asked, "What's this smell?" The young man stood up straight, paused, and gave the examiner the same slap in the face with the same speed and strength, saying, "What's that smell?" Therefore, the young man was admitted.
Franklin succeeded with his head down, but the young man was hired with his head held high. Is this the paradox of life? In fact, the real rule of life is to be Franklin when you put your position, and you must be that young man when you put your heart. In other words, we should bow our heads and be human.
Both of them are fine.
