Workplace Inspirational Story Sample 1

Once, an old robber and his apprentice went to rob a bank and were chased by the police. The two ran away, almost losing their pants. After finally getting rid of the police, the two of them were out of breath and collapsed on the ground.

After a long time, the shock subsided, and the apprentice said: "Master, Master, how wonderful it would be if there were no police in this world!" The master cursed: "Fart! If there were no police, we would still have food. Do you want to eat?" The disciple was confused. Master said with great sincerity: "You only know one thing but not the other! Think about it, if there were no police, would everyone dare to steal and rob? It is precisely because of these police that those capable people Only by blocking us can we have room for survival! Compared with them, what are we? Do you want to eat? With the police, we are here! Without the police, how can we live a good life?"

You see how beautiful successful people are, but you only see one side and not the other. On the other hand, you "only see thieves eating meat, not being beaten", and you don't see the sweat, tears, or even blood they shed for success! Even if you see "thieves get beaten", you are only willing to be "the thief who only eats meat and does not get beaten". Where can there be such a cheap thing in the world! We can make good use of the experience of the old robber above. As long as you have a little courage and self-confidence, it is enough to break through physical and psychological barriers.

Tom the puppy was looking for a job everywhere. He worked hard for many days but found nothing. He complained to his mother dejectedly: "I am really a worthless waste, no company is willing to want me."

His mother asked strangely: "So, what about bees, spiders, larks and cats?"

Tom said: "The bee became a stewardess, the spider worked on webs, the lark graduated from the conservatory of music, so he became a singer, and the cat graduated from the police academy, so he became a security guard. They are different. , I have no experience or diploma in higher education."

Mom continued to ask: "What about horses, sheep, cows and hens?"

Tom said: " Horses can pull carts, sheep's wool is the raw material for textiles and clothing, cows can produce milk, and hens can lay eggs. Unlike them, I have no abilities."

Mom thought for a while. Said: "You are indeed not a galloping horse pulling a chariot, nor a chicken that can lay eggs, but you are not useless, you are a loyal dog. Although you have not received a higher education, you are not very capable. , but a sincere heart is enough to make up for all your flaws. Remember my words, son, no matter how many hardships you go through, cherish your golden heart and let it shine."

Tom listened to his mother's words and nodded vigorously.

After going through all the hardships, Tom not only found a job, but also became the administrative manager. The parrot was unconvinced and went to argue with his boss, saying: "Tom is neither a graduate of a prestigious university nor understands foreign languages. Why should he be given such a high position?"

The boss replied calmly: "It's simple, because he is a loyal dog." Workplace Inspirational Story Sample 3

Seven people once lived together and shared a large bucket of porridge every day. The terrible thing is that there is not enough porridge every day.

At the beginning, they drew lots to decide who would share the porridge, and one person took turns every day. So every week, there was only one day when they were full, which was the day when they shared the porridge among themselves. Later, they began to select a person with high moral standards to share the porridge. Power tends to corrupt, and everyone began to go out of their way to please him and bribe him, which made the whole clique full of darkness and even noble people became corrupt. Then everyone began to form a three-person porridge committee and a four-person selection committee, but they often attacked each other and started arguing, and the porridge was all cold in the mouth. Finally, I came up with a method: take turns to share the porridge, but the person sharing the porridge has to wait until everyone else has finished picking the last bowl. In order not to let themselves eat the least, everyone tries to share it equally. Even if it is not equal, they can only accept it. Everyone is happy and harmonious, and the days are getting better and better.

For the same seven people, different distribution systems will lead to different atmospheres.

Therefore, if a unit has bad work habits, it must be a mechanism problem. It must be that it is not completely fair, just and open, and there is no strict reward for hard work and punishment for laziness. How to formulate such a system is a question that every leader needs to consider. Inspiring Workplace Story Example 4

I was in a bad mood for a while, and I unconsciously brought my bad mood to work.

One day, my boss assigned me a task that was not very related to my job functions. I declined in front of my colleagues and said I didn’t have time. Please don’t give me such a job in the future.

This made my boss very embarrassed, but he didn’t say anything at the time. Not only did he not have any displeasure on his face, he actually smiled at me honestly. I walked out of his office awkwardly.

When I went to work the next morning, I found a bouquet of small flowers inserted in a glass drink bottle on my desk. The small buds were hidden among the green leaves, like a ray leaking out of the haze. The sunshine makes people’s eyes brighten.

Whenever I feel tired from work, I observe this bouquet of flowers at close range, and my mood slowly becomes clearer, no longer impatient or depressed.

I asked my colleagues who put the flowers, and they all said they didn’t know, which made me feel warm in my heart. Maybe the work pressure is a bit high, and some colleagues sometimes have disputes and disagreements with their bosses, making the work atmosphere very dull.

But I found that if a colleague had a problem with his boss the day before, there would be a bouquet of flowers on his desk the next day. Within a few days, the unhappiness that happened in the office disappeared. Everyone was very dedicated to their work and their performance was obvious.

Looking at the flowers blooming every day, I feel grateful. As time passed, I realized my mistake and took the initiative to send a text message to my boss, asking him to forgive me for my impulsiveness and youthful arrogance.

He sent me a message back: Being angry means being at odds with yourself. Before you get angry, please go to the bathroom and stare at the mirror and smile for a minute. Then come back and be angry with me. I can forgive you anything. I feel humbled by my boss's generosity.

From then on, whenever there were misunderstandings or disputes with people around me at work or in life, even if they were wrong and I was right, I would not argue or defend myself with them, and always keep myself Smiling, and then watching their faces turn red because they were eager to defend themselves, I reminded them again: Please keep smiling first. Let’s face each other and see who can smile longer without making a sound. , whoever wins.

As a result, the unreasonable or at-fault party spoke up before me and didn’t smile as long as I did. In the end we reconciled.

This reminds me of an anecdote about President Lincoln. When enemy troops were captured in a battle, his subordinates demanded severe punishment of the enemy troops, but Lincoln disagreed. Not only did he exempt the enemy troops from all crimes, but instead treated the enemy troops as if they were one of his own.

Some subordinates asked in confusion: They are enemies. The best way is to eliminate future troubles and severely punish the enemies. Lincoln smiled and said: "You are wrong. Even our enemies have become our friends. What else can we not defeat?"

The wisdom of a military strategist does not lie in tactics, but is reflected in some tactics. On the little things. Combining my previous mistakes, I understood what true wisdom is, and I increasingly admired my boss's silent teachings.

If we cannot change the faults of others, then we should first change what we can change. For example, start with a smile. Although a smile is sometimes very insignificant, it is like a drop of water passing through a stone or an ant nest in a dyke. One day it will break through the stone and cause the embankment to collapse.

When doing things, we must first fight for strength and secondly for wisdom. If strength and wisdom are not enough to defeat the opponent, then we start with a smile... Example 5 of inspirational short stories in the workplace

Enlightenment:

Many times, with a grateful heart, I give my prayers devoutly to all those who know me and those who do not.
