Once upon a time, there was a man carrying a very beautiful jar on the road. He was walking. Accidentally, with a bang, the jar fell on a big stone on the side of the road and suddenly became a piece. Passers-by saw it and cried, feeling sorry for such a beautiful jar being broken into pieces. But the man who smashed the jar as if nothing had happened, without turning his head or looking at the jar, continued on his way.
At this time, passers-by were surprised. Why is this person so free and easy? What a beautiful jar! What a pity to break it! Some people even doubt whether this person's nerves are normal.
Afterwards, someone asked the man why he did it.
The man said, "Why do you miss a broken jar?"
Truth: Free and easy is a super enjoyment to get rid of loss and pain. If you lose it, you lose it. Why miss it? If nostalgia is useful, why continue to work hard?
2. Stones on the road
King Ferdinand decided to choose one of his ten Wang Zizhong as his heir. He privately told a minister to put a "boulder" on a road with water on both sides. Anyone who wants to cross this road has to face this "boulder" and either push it away, climb over it or bypass it. Then, the king asked the princes to cross the road one by one and sent a secret letter to a minister as soon as possible. The princes finished their task quickly. Ferdinand first asked the princes, "How do you deliver letters?"
One man said, "I climbed that boulder."
One said, "I went by boat."
Others said, "I swam."
Only the little prince said, "I ran across the street."
"Didn't that boulder stand in your way?" Ferdinand asked.
"I gave it a hard push with my hand and it rolled into the river."
"Why do you want to push such a big stone with your hands?"
"I just tried," said the little prince, "but when I pushed it, it moved."
It turned out that this "boulder" was forged by Ferdinand and his ministers with very light materials. Naturally, the adventurous prince succeeded to the throne.
Truth: it's too dangerous to give your destiny to others, even to someone, without thinking at all, just trusting others. You should learn to control your own destiny.
3. A mirror
A young man was diagnosed with leukemia at the peak of his life. Endless despair suddenly enveloped his heart. He felt that life was meaningless and refused to receive any treatment.
One late autumn afternoon, he escaped from the hospital and wandered aimlessly in the street. Suddenly, a slightly hoarse and unusually heroic music attracted him. Not far away, a blind old man was playing a polished musical instrument emotionally towards the sparse crowd. Another striking thing is that there is a mirror hanging in the blind man's arms!
The young man stepped forward curiously. After the blind man finished playing a song, he asked, "Excuse me, is this mirror yours?"
"Yes, my musical instrument and mirror are my two treasures! Music is the most beautiful thing in the world. I often entertain myself by this, and I can feel how wonderful life is ... "
"But what does this mirror mean to you?" He asked eagerly.
The blind man smiled and said, "I hope there will be a miracle one day. I also believe that I can see my face with this mirror one day, so I will take it with me whenever and wherever."
The heart of leukemia patients was shocked at once: a blind man still loves life so much, and I … he suddenly realized and went back to the hospital for treatment. Although he felt the pain of death every time he underwent chemotherapy, he never escaped.
He bravely endured the painful treatment, and finally a miracle appeared and he recovered. Since then, he also has two precious treasures in life: a positive and optimistic attitude and enduring beliefs.
Truth: People who want to control their own life and destiny must have the qualities of optimism and strength, because optimism and strength are the helmsman in charge of the course of life and the power paddle to control the ship of destiny.
job-hop
A said to B, "I want to leave this company. I hate this company! " "
B suggestion: "I agree with you to retaliate against this broken company with both hands. You must give it some color to see." But now is not the best time for you to leave. "
A asked, "Why?"
B said, "If you leave now, the company will not lose much. You should take advantage of the opportunity in the company, try your best to attract some customers for yourself, become a unique figure in the company, and then suddenly leave the company with these customers, and the company will suffer heavy losses and be very passive. "
A thought what B said was very reasonable, so she worked hard. After more than half a year's efforts, he has many loyal customers.
When we meet again, B asks A, "Now is the time. Let's act quickly! "
A smiled indifferently: "The boss has been talking to me for a long time and is going to promote me to be the assistant to the general manager. I have no plans to leave for the time being. " In fact, this is also the original intention of B. A person's job is always just for his resume. Only by paying more than you get, and letting the boss really see that your ability is greater than your position, will you be given more opportunities and create more profits for him.
Truth: Don't complain about the inconvenience caused by the environment. In fact, the environment itself exists objectively. Anyone in that position will encounter the same problem, and smart people will try their best to transform it.
5. The three best teachers
1960, Dr. Rosenthal of Harvard University made a famous experiment in a school in California.
At the beginning of the new semester, Dr. Rosenthal asked the headmaster to call three teachers into the office and said to them, "According to your past teaching performance, you are the best teachers in our school. So we specially selected the brightest students in the whole school 100 to form three classes for you to teach. These students have higher IQ than other children. I hope you can make them achieve better results. " All three teachers are happy to say that they will try their best.
The headmaster also told them to treat these children as usual and not to let the children or their parents know that they were specially selected. The teachers all agreed.
A year later, the students in these three classes really ranked in the forefront of the whole school district.
At this time, the headmaster told the teacher the truth: these students are not the best students deliberately selected, but the most ordinary students randomly selected.
Teachers didn't expect this. They all think their teaching level is really high.
At this time, the headmaster told them another truth, that is, they are not the best teachers specially selected by the whole school, but just ordinary teachers randomly selected.
Truth: There are no geniuses in the world. The so-called genius is to find one's inner potential by one's own efforts, thus changing one's destiny. Those non-geniuses just hide their potential.
6. Father and son ride donkeys
The father and son led the donkey into the city. On the way, someone laughed at them: what a fool! Some donkeys don't ride!
The father let his son ride on the donkey, and it didn't take long for someone to say, what an unfilial son! He released his father!
The father quickly called his son down and rode on the donkey's back. Others said: what a cruel father, he is not afraid of exhausting his children!
The father quickly let his son ride on the donkey's back. Who knows, some people say: two people riding on the donkey's back are not afraid to crush the thin donkey to death?
The father and son quickly slipped off the donkey's back, tied the donkey's four feet and carried them with sticks. When crossing a bridge, the donkey struggled down because of discomfort and fell into the river and drowned!
Truth: A person must have his own opinion and ability to judge right and wrong, so as not to be influenced by other people's opinions. Don't live in other people's public opinion, walk on your own feet and think with your own head.
7. The size of the shark
Once I went to the aquarium with my friends.
A passenger asked the manager, "How big will this shark grow?"
The librarian pointed to the fish tank and said, "It depends on how big your fish tank is."
The passenger asked again, "Will it be as big as an aquarium?"
The librarian said cautiously, "if you are in an aquarium, sharks can only be limited to a few meters in size." If you are in the ocean, they will be big enough to swallow a lion. "
Truth: Environment can change a person's mind. Environment can limit people's thoughts, and people can also limit their own thoughts. Don't frame yourself If you can't change the environment, start by changing yourself.
8. Fan Shi Dafa
There was a master who practiced hard for decades and developed the "Shifting Mountains Dafa".
Someone asked devoutly, "What power did the master use to move mountains? How can I practice such magic? "
The master smiled and said, "It's easy to practice this magical skill. As long as you master one thing: if you can't, you will cross the mountain. "
There are too many things in the real world that you can't change, or at least temporarily, just like mountains.
Truth: If things can't be changed, change yourself. Only by changing yourself will you eventually change others; Only by changing yourself can you finally change your world. Shan, if you don't come, you can go by yourself!
9. Two calligraphers
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there were two calligraphers. The ancients imitated it very seriously, paying attention to the fact that every painting should have a certain image, such as a certain horizontal slope and a certain image of Mifei. Naturally, once he reached this point, he was quite proud.
The other is just the opposite, not only practicing hard, but also demanding that each painting be different from the ancients and pay attention to nature. Only by practicing this step can you feel at ease.
One day, the first calligrapher laughed at the second calligrapher and said, "Excuse me, my dear friend, which of your words belongs to the ancients?"
The latter one was not angry, but smiled and asked, "Excuse me, dear friend, which of your words is your own?"
The first one is tongue-tied.
Truth: people should find their way from where there is no road. Don't die out of your own personality and blindly imitate others. That will only make them lose themselves and even lose control of their own destiny.
10. A humble great man
A father took his son to visit Van Gogh's former residence. After seeing the small wooden bed and worn leather shoes, the son asked his father, "Isn't Van Gogh a millionaire?" The father replied, "Van Gogh is a poor man. He didn't even marry his wife."
Another year passed, and the father took his son to Denmark to visit Andersen's former residence. The son asked doubtfully, "Dad, doesn't Andersen live in the palace?" Why was he in this attic before he died? "The father replied," Andersen is the son of a shoemaker. He lives here. "
This father is a sailor. He travels to and from ports in the Atlantic Ocean every year. His son, Ayrton Prague, was the first black journalist in the world to win the Pulitzer Prize.
Twenty years later, Ito Prague recalled his childhood and said, "At that time, our family was poor or black, and both parents lived by selling coolies. For a long time, I always thought that it was impossible for humble blacks like us to achieve anything. It was my father who made me know Van Gogh and Andersen, and it was my father who made me realize that blacks were not humble. The experiences of these two people let me know that God does not look down on blacks. "
Truth: The rich are not necessarily great, and the poor are not necessarily humble. God is fair, he spreads opportunities to everyone, and even humble people have opportunities. Inferiority is the nail of the soul. If you don't pull it out, it will always torture people.
