1, "Remember the people who serve you"
One day, a little boy walked into a hotel cafe and found a round table and sat down. A waitress brought a glass of water to his desk with a big smile.
"How much is the ice cream sundae?" The little boy asked.
"Fifty cents, sir." The waitress replied.
So the little boy took out all the coins in his pocket and counted them carefully. It was exactly 50 cents.
"So, how much is a plate of ordinary ice cream?" He asked again.
At this time, it is the peak of dining, someone is waiting for the table at the door, and the waitress is a little impatient.
"35 is beautiful!" She said rudely.
The little boy took the coins out of his pocket again and counted them carefully.
"I want regular ice cream." He said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and left. The boy finished his ice cream, paid the bill at the cashier and left.
When the waitress returned to the table again and began to clear the table, she was shocked by what she saw: two nickels and five nickels were neatly placed in the empty tray on the table-this was her tip.
2. "Do you have enthusiasm?"
After the Greeks died, there was no mourning. Just ask: "Was there any enthusiasm before this life?" The subtext may be, if you don't have enthusiasm, you will die. Anyway, living is almost the same as dying; Passionate, it doesn't matter if you die, and you have no regrets when you die.
Do you have enthusiasm? I have seen a lot of "enthusiasm": drivers who shake their heads and drive taxis; A cleaner pulled the car and climbed up the mountain desperately; A fat man who wolfed down in a restaurant; A boy whistles while playing games; "Click" a modern girl with high heels; A boy who wanders around Wan Li and wants to be with his girlfriend.
Their enthusiasm is so sincere and natural, but it is inadvertently revealed.
I am often moved by these passions. Although they don't know me, I can't help being happy for them when I see them so happy.
In this world, there are many false passions and some crazy pursuits. But I think, as long as they think it's true, as long as they don't hurt others, let them immerse themselves in that kind of enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm is an extension of dreams, even if it does not reach the height of dreams; Enthusiasm is a lovely child, smart, lively and unexpected.
"Do I have enthusiasm?" Don't ask yourself this before you die You should actually ask yourself every night.
3. Paying attention to others means paying attention to yourself.
A person's taste and achievements should be reflected in the process of getting along with others. In Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls, there is such a poem: "No one can live alone in the sea like an island. Everyone is like a small piece of soil, connecting the whole land. "
If a piece of soil is washed away by the sea, there will be a corner in Europe, like a canyon, as well as your friends and yourself. "No one can live alone and get along with others.
In getting along with others, if you want to be welcomed by others, the first thing to do is to sincerely care for and attach importance to others. Caring for others and attaching importance to others requires noble sentiments and an open mind.
Your sincere heart will make the other person feel warm and happy emotionally and enrich and satisfy spiritually. In this way, you will experience a beautiful working and living atmosphere, and you will have harmonious interpersonal relationships.
Only by paying attention to others from the heart can we be valued by others. Paying attention to others is a sign of civilization. If we value others, others will value us.
Generally speaking, I value everyone, and only people value me. We have no reason to let others pay attention to ourselves first. We should pay attention to others first. The better you do, the more chances you have of success. Paying attention to others is actually paying attention to yourself.
Master Before a master came to power, his disciples told him that his shoelaces were loose. The master nodded his thanks and squatted down to tie it carefully. Disciple turned his back and squatted down to untie his shoelaces. A bystander saw all this and asked inexplicably, "Master, why did you untie your shoelaces again?" ?
The master replied, "Because I play a tired traveler, I can loosen his shoes after a long journey and show his fatigue and haggard through this detail." Then why don't you just tell your disciples?
He can carefully find that my shoelaces are loose and enthusiastically tell me that I must protect his enthusiasm and give him encouragement in time. As for why I untied my shoelaces, I will have more opportunities to teach him to perform in the future. Let's talk about it next time.
Enlightenment: People can only do one thing at a time, and only by grasping the key points can they become real talents.
4. "The blind man is busy writing a thank-you letter: a short story about the enthusiastic service of the 56-way team"
There are several welfare factories and blind troupes for the blind along the No.56 bus from Shanghai Meilong New Village to Lingyun Road. In the process of serving the blind passengers, the motorcade has launched the special service of "one-stop train for the blind", that is, the car stops in front of the blind, the car assists in front, the seat is implemented in front, and people say hello before getting off. Blind passengers wrote many thank-you letters to the team after enjoying the warm and thoughtful service of the sales staff.
Lao Li, a cadre of Changqiao New Village Neighborhood Committee, couldn't resist the insistence of several blind people, led them to the office of No.56 motorcade and handed the red thank-you letter with thousands of words to the captain.
The whole story is: at noon one day, several blind people got on the No.56 unmanned vehicle. I don't know if they were impatient or misunderstood the station, so they got off two stops earlier. The driver Xiao Yao found that they were confused when they got off the bus from the display screen, and immediately repeated the station name twice. A few blind people who had just walked a few steps turned around, and Xiaoyao immediately stopped the car and got off to help them get on the bus one by one.
Lao Wu, a blind man who lives in Meilong New Village, and his wife go to work in Xujiahui by bus No.56 every day. After the dispatcher at Lingyun Road Terminal found out, he enthusiastically helped them get on the bus every time and arranged to implement the seats.
One day this summer, the old couple went out and just arrived at the terminal. The wife's feet are weak and sweaty, and she can't support it. When the salesman saw this, he quickly ran to the lounge chair, gave her a pill and gave her ice, which effectively relieved the symptoms. Afterwards, the old couple wrote a thank-you letter and sincerely praised "the spirit of serving passengers is small, but it is commendable."
Ms. Zhang, a blind person in the eleventh village of Meilong, had the experience of being treated differently in two cars a day. One day, Ms. Zhang went out and got on a bus in Xujiahui. She wanted to transfer to bus No.56 to go home. I didn't expect the bus conductor to give directions at random, and let her touch it for a long time before finding the bus transfer station No.56.
After getting on the No.56 bus, the conductor Wang Xiuzhen learned what happened just now, helped Ms. Zhang fix her seat and asked the name of the station, and specially found an old passenger who got off at the same station to show Ms. Zhang the way. Ms. Zhang wrote a thank-you letter to the tour leader afterwards: "The same passengers, completely different services, and the service of Route 56 should be respected."

On one side are dozens of students whose lives are unknown, and on the other side are seven dying relatives. Where are you going? At this critical moment of life and death, he silently suffered great pain after making a difficult choice, risking his life to take back 3 1 student from the hands of death, while 7 close relatives were unfortunately swallowed up by the flood.
He is the people's teacher Wei. After his touching story spread gradually, it caused strong repercussions in all walks of life.
In Wang Yang, dozens of students are dying. In 2006, Wei, a 46-year-old Buyi teacher in Youmai Township, Wangmo County, worked in Pingbu Primary School for 10 years, and then transferred to the township education counseling station.
Twenty meters away from his house on the second floor is the Pingbu River, which is usually not rushing. There are few dormitories in Pingbu school. Under the pleading of parents, Mr. Wei vacated the first floor of his home to let 32 students board, and his family lived on the second floor. My mother, who is over 70 years old, also lives on the first floor because it is inconvenient to go upstairs and downstairs. The two bungalows opened by the younger brothers Wei Zhengshi and Zheng Weikai are next to each other.
A few months ago, two younger brothers left home to work safely after entrusting their sister-in-law and children to him. On the evening of June 12, 2006, people on Pingbu River gradually fell asleep.
Around 0: 00, a quick knock on the door woke Wei's wife Huang. She picked up the flashlight and went to the stairs to take pictures. Suddenly she was shocked. I saw a group of boys and girls, covered in water and mud, some naked, some wearing only underwear, crying in horror: "Teacher! There is a flood, help us! " The stairs not far from the child's feet have already been flooded.
The mother-in-law who was picked up by the child was in shock and limped to one side. Huang immediately woke up her husband, daughter and son. Wei strode to the window to take photos with a flashlight, and his head exploded: there was a Wang Yang outside the house, and the first floor was completely flooded. The surging waves are mixed with uprooted trees and other floating objects, which keep hitting the building and the house is already shaking.
"Not good! Only 1 1 has come up, and 2 1 is downstairs in the water. Help! " Wei Zhengxiong counted with a weak flashlight, and his heart suddenly caught it.
It turns out that in addition to two students taking time off to go home, there are 32 students boarding at his house tonight. Wei asked his wife and daughter to clean the sand for the students, while he rushed to the stairs and shouted the names of the children downstairs. Daughter Haifeng suddenly remembered that the second uncle and third uncle's house next door were bungalows, and the second uncle and second sister must be in the water.
Wei listened to her daughter's reminder, and her heart ached and she burst into tears. The old mother, who had just recovered, couldn't help crying. The flood is still rising and the situation is very critical, so Wei has no room for hesitation.
He told his daughter, "Hurry! Go to the back wall and call my uncles and sisters, and I will save the students! " Then I rushed to the stairs, got into the water, and swam to several rooms downstairs in the dark.
Suddenly, with a loud noise, a flood broke in and washed Wei back to the stairs leading to the second floor. Downstairs are 2 1 students who don't know life and death, and next door are seven ill-fated relatives.
The flood is still rising and the water level is close to the second floor. Can the children still live? Wei struggled to swim forward, and soon he was near, swept into the middle of the room by the water, and hugged the wooden bed tightly. He just carried Jiang Wei to the second floor, and the flood that followed soon flooded the second floor. ?
"Zheng Xiong, seven people from the second and third families are still in the water. They are all your relatives! " The wife and the old mother were very worried and kept crying. ?
"Impossible, they two seven people, my house downstairs twenty people, how to explain to so many parents? Only save the child first! " This painful choice made Wei feel like a knife.
At this point, the stairs have been completely submerged and muddy. 10 meter behind the house is a bare cliff, and there is no way to go. Time is life.
Wei came to the stairs and shouted the children's names. I haven't heard back for a long time Although he had a bad feeling, he didn't want to give up the last glimmer of hope, so he leaned forward and shouted.
"Miss Wei, please help us!" A few minutes later, several faint voices rushed out of the water. Wei couldn't believe his ears. The children are alive!
It turned out that the cracks in his building were all plastered with cement and lime powder. The flood was fierce, and the air inside was squeezed under the ceiling to form a small air layer. The students stood on the bedstead for a while and could hardly breathe. The daughter said, we can't swim in now, or the water will break, the air will be swept away, and the students will drown instead. ?
Wei listened to her daughter's words and had to bend down to encourage the children to stick to it. At around 13, 1, the flood began to subside, and most of the first floor was still immersed in water.
Wei can't wait any longer. He found a long bamboo pole and swam downstairs. He pulled 65,438+09 children trapped in several rooms back from the death line. Only 14-year-old Cen Baoxing was killed. The daughter sticks her head out of the window and is still calling her two uncles. However, my aunt's bungalow is still quietly submerged in the water. My home is like a graveyard, and Wei is in tears.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, the flood left more than one meter of sediment and finally receded. The whole village is desolate. Exhausted, Wei couldn't wait to step on the mud half a man's height and go straight to his brother's house separated by a wall.
The doors of the two younger brothers were washed away by the flood, and it was a terrible mess: there were seven people in the two families, except the missing niece Harvey, and the other six were lying in the mud and had already died. ?
"Brother, forgive brother, brother promised you to take good care of your family! Brothers and sisters, children, uncle, I am sorry for you. " Seeing this scene, Wei's legs went limp and he fell to his knees. Guilt and remorse welled up in his heart and he burst into tears. In this case, the rescued 3 1 students standing behind him also knelt down in unison.
After a long time, Wei Cai asked his wife to call his two younger brothers who were working in other places and said that their hometown was affected. Please come back as soon as possible. A few days later, the second and third brothers rushed back to their hometown.
As soon as I got off the bus, I saw several coffins lying in front of my house. The two brothers understood at once and fainted to the ground at once. Two younger brothers were robbed by this, and there was basically no room for people. The two brothers could not bear the strong request of their old mother and reluctantly agreed to live in their brother's house.
Wei repeatedly confessed to his younger brother, but for a long time, they ignored him and didn't even want to eat at the same table with him. Every time the old mother thinks of her five lively grandchildren, she can't help crying. For more than 10 days, she didn't say a word and couldn't eat a grain of rice.
Half a month later, Wei Zhengshi, the second brother with a dull look, shivered for a long time and finally said, "Brother, stop it, we all know. At that time, you could do nothing. There were 32 students at home at that time! " The three brothers finally hugged each other tightly and cried.
