There is an old mother who has three children. Two daughters are very capable and filial, and one son is a little timid and incompetent.
The two daughters often give money to their old mother to buy delicious food, but the old mother loves her little grandson very much, so she often gives her daughter money to her son to buy food for her little grandson.
The neighbor was so angry that she told the secret to her eldest daughter. The eldest daughter said that she gave money to her mother just to make her happy and spend it as she wanted. If her mother saves money for her son and grandson in exchange for her happiness and dignity, then the money is well spent. The old mother was very happy when she heard her eldest daughter's words. She said that watching her grandson eat is much more popular than herself.
A month later, the second daughter came back. She was very angry when she learned the secret, so she stayed at home every day to enlighten her old mother, ordered her to buy food and drink for herself, and had to watch her eat. The old mother was so angry that she couldn't eat anything and finally died of depression. "

Revelation: What is the most important thing in a person's life? When a person does a good deed, others may consider whether it is worthwhile for him to do it, and whether the effort is rewarding. However, this is not important. A person is happiest when he has what he wants. Of all things in life, people's wishes are the most important.

One day, the master went out and asked him to take care of the children.
He went to another village and couldn't come back that day because of the heavy snow. When he got home the next day, the dog immediately heard the sound and came out to see his master. He opened the door and saw blood everywhere. He looked up, there was blood on the bed and the child was gone. The dog is nearby, and its mouth is full of blood. After discovering this situation, the owner thought that the dog was sexually assaulted and ate the child. In a rage, he cut the dog's head with a knife and killed it.
Then I suddenly heard the child's voice, saw him climb out from under the bed and picked him up. Although he had blood on him, he was not hurt.
He's weird. I don't know what's going on. Look at the dog's body. There is no meat on his leg. There is a wolf next to him, still biting dog meat in his mouth. The dog saved the little master, but he was killed by the master by mistake. This is really the most amazing misunderstanding in the world.

Most of my colleagues are very excited because a new director who is said to be very capable has been sent to rectify the company. However, as the days passed, the new supervisor did nothing.

He is an able man there! He is very nice, and he is more gullible than the previous supervisor!
Four months later, just when I was really disappointed in the new director, the new director flew into a rage-all the bad guys were fired and the capable people were promoted. He started quickly and judged things accurately, and he was almost like a completely different person from the conservative one in April.
At the year-end dinner, the new supervisor made a speech after three rounds of drinking: "I believe everyone must be puzzled by my performance during my new arrival and the radical measures taken later." Now listen to a story and you will understand: "I have a friend who bought a house with a yard." As soon as he moved in, he cleaned up the yard thoroughly, cleared all the weeds and planted his newly bought flowers. One day, the original owner visited. My friend just found out that he actually gave peony as grass.
Later, he bought another house. Although the yard was more messy, he stayed where he was. Sure enough, plants that were thought to be miscellaneous trees in winter bloomed in spring. I thought spring was a weed, but summer turned into brocade; A small tree that hasn't moved for half a year turns red in autumn. It was not until late autumn that it really realized which plants were useless, and vigorously cleared them and kept all the precious vegetation. At this point, the supervisor raised his glass and said, "Let me propose a toast to all of you here, because if this office is a garden, you are all rare trees in it. Rare trees can't blossom and bear fruit all year round. You can recognize them only by long-term observation!

"I'm sorry, son, but maybe we can help him find a place to live." The father went on to say, "Son, you don't know what you are talking about." Disabled people like him will bring a great burden to our lives. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let him ruin them like this. I suggest you go home first and forget about him. He will find his own sky. "Just then, the son hung up the phone and his parents never heard from him again.
A few days later, the parents got a call from the San Francisco Police Department, telling them that their dear son had fallen to his death. The police think this is just a simple suicide case.

Top ten inspiring stories, second place: love looks around.
While excavating the ancient city of Troy, an English archaeologist found an ancient bronze mirror with a strange and incomprehensible inscription on the back. He spent his whole life consulting many experts in ancient Greece, but he couldn't decipher the mystery.
After the archaeologist died, this mirror lay quietly in the British Museum. Until one day 20 years later, a handsome young man came to the museum. Accompanied by the curator of the museum, he went straight to the ancient mirror, opened the glass cabinet with the help of the staff, carefully took out the bronze mirror, turned it over and put it on a red velvet. The inscription on the back of the ancient mirror reflects a cold golden luster on a red background. The young man took out an ordinary mirror from his backpack, looked at the inscription on the bronze mirror, turned his head and smiled and said to the curator of the museum, "Look, the inscription behind this ancient mirror is not difficult to understand, but ordinary ancient Greek is carved according to the mirror image." The curator of the museum is also an expert in ancient Greece. He held the reading glasses on the nose frame, leaned his face in the past, carefully analyzed the words reflected in the mirror, and slowly read: "To my dearest person: when everyone thinks you are turning left, I know that you have been turning right."
The young man looked up and sighed and said, "What a pity! My grandfather has been trying to solve the mystery of words all his life, but he doesn't know that he has been wasting time. The result is so simple! " The curator of the museum was silent for a moment, and then simply said, "Maybe you think he has been turning left, but in fact he has been turning right."

We don't know whether this passage was written by the beautiful Helen in karma to her lover, but the spirit of infinite support for her lover contained in the inscription is still touching. In the customs of many ancient countries, there is a concept of respecting the left and respecting the right. It seems that the prehistoric ancient city of Troy is the same. From the inscriptions on ancient mirrors, we can see that the author's lover may be regarded by others as constantly degenerating and will soon fall into the predicament of being besieged on all sides. In this predicament, the sweet guy used this passage to express his incomparable trust in his lover and believed that his efforts would inevitably achieve a correct goal. This kind of trust is a valuable encouragement for a person in trouble!
The archaeologist failed to solve the mystery, not necessarily because he did something wrong, but because he didn't have enough luck to find out the truth. Outsiders may think he turned left, but in fact he kept turning right. As the heir of an archaeologist, his grandson needs to understand this, respect his grandfather's unremitting efforts and comfort his lofty spirit of perseverance and death. This may be what the museum director said.
When everyone thinks that the person you love is turning left, you might as well shout to him: "I know you have been turning right!" " "This may be the best expression of love.
Revelation: Everyone will encounter difficulties. For a person in trouble, how much he needs the precious encouragement and support of his lover. When everyone thinks that the person you love is turning left, you might as well shout to him: "I know you have been turning right!" " "This may be the best expression of love, showing great trust in the lover, believing that his efforts will inevitably achieve the right goal.
