"This is nonsense. The architect replied," Let me have a look. "

After the architect arrived, his wife suggested that he lie on the bed and experience the feeling when the train passed by.

The architect replied with trepidation, "I said I was waiting for the train. Would you believe it?"

"Miss, I can't help you. I can't jump off the train to find your mother, can I? "

Epiphany

It's certainly a good thing to correct mistakes. But we often get rid of the right ones and leave the wrong ones, and the result is that the wrong ones are added to the wrong ones.

4. Wrong clothes

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Pierre?"

8. Help

Epiphany

If you refuse to help, people will hate you for a week; If the help is not perfect, it is better to ...

Tragedy of life

One day, I saw an old farmer tying a big buffalo to a small wooden stake in the country. I went up to the old farmer and said, "Uncle, it will run away." The old farmer smiled and said with great certainty, "It won't run away. It has always been like this." I was a little confused and couldn't help asking, "Why not? Such a small stake, the cow just needs to use a little force, won't it be pulled out? "

At this moment, the old farmer approached me and lowered his voice (as if he was afraid of the cow hearing): "Young man, I tell you, when this cow was a calf, it was tied to this stake. At first, it didn't stay so honest, and sometimes it ran wild and tried to break free from the stake. However, at that time, its strength was small, and it was still spinning in the same place for a while. When it could not help it, it faded. Later, it grew up, but it no longer had the heart to fight with this stake. Once, I took the forage to feed it, and deliberately put it out of its neck. I think it will definitely break free from the stake and eat grass. However, it didn't, just called twice and stood there staring at the forage. You say, is it interesting? "

I had an epiphany. It turns out that it is not the small wooden stake that binds this cow, but the spiritual shackles set by itself with inertia. Comments: Life is not the case. Some people always run their own lives as thinking set. As a result, they can't get out of the prison they set for themselves, and they have no chance of success all their lives. Think about it, in this world, who else can set you free except yourself?

story 2: being the taillight of others

at a meeting, I met a young and promising entrepreneur, Mr. Li. I heard about the legend of Mr. Li's entrepreneurship, so I asked him what his entrepreneurial secret was. He told me a story.

that was five years ago. Mr. Li was still working in a Taiwan-funded enterprise. Their boss is not only a big entrepreneur with many companies in many countries, but also a professor and a scholar-type businessman, who has a good economic mind and high academic achievements. That's why Mr. Li joined his company. Because Mr. Li is diligent and willing to use his brain, the boss soon promoted him to be the department manager, specializing in the sales of furniture. He has always done nothing wrong. Once, the company bought a set of furniture with a price tag of 211,111 yuan. I don't know why, but no one has asked the price for four months. One day, a customer took a fancy to this set of furniture as soon as he came in. After asking the price, he always wanted to lower it and asked Mr. Li if he would sell it for 181,111 yuan. Mr. Li also wanted to sell this set of furniture, but the boss only gave him the floating authority of 11 thousand yuan, but the customer was also stubborn, saying that he would not buy it if it was not 181 thousand yuan. After a long stalemate, Mr. Li wanted to call the boss for instructions, but the boss went abroad on business and his mobile phone was turned off. He dared not make decisions without authorization, and the business was ruined. Two days later, the boss came back and Mr. Li reported it. The boss was a little unhappy. He said, Don't you see that this set of furniture is hard to get rid of now? You should know my psychology, since no one has asked for four months, it means that there is nothing to buy this set of furniture, and the sooner you should get rid of it, the better. Don't say 181 thousand yuan, even 171 thousand yuan, you should sell it, otherwise, I'm afraid no one will even want 161 thousand yuan next time Mr. Li bowed his head with some injustice and thought, I have so much courage there. Seeing his appearance, the boss smiled generously and said forget it. Drive me first and let's go to dinner together. They got on the bus, and Mr. Li started the car. There was some fog in the air, and there were many cars on the road, which made them walk a little slowly. After more than ten minutes, the fog is getting bigger and bigger, and the road conditions are not clear. The boss was in no hurry, and he said this to him while letting him crawl slowly in the traffic. He asked Li Sheng, how can you drive safely in such foggy weather? Mr. Li said that as long as you follow the taillights of the car in front, nothing will happen. The boss was silent for a while and suddenly asked, if you are the first car, whose taillight should you follow? Hearing this, Mr. Li felt a shock in his heart. Yes, if he is the first car, who will show him the way? He immediately understood the boss's implication: under normal circumstances, you can rely on your boss to make decisions for you, and you don't have to share the responsibility. But under special circumstances, you should use your own eyes to see clearly the way ahead, use your own mind to analyze the pros and cons and choose your own direction. Who can Bill Gates talk to? People who only follow the taillights of others will never take the lead. After that, Mr. Li worked even better. Before long, he discovered a new entrepreneurial field that others did not explore. Through his own struggle and keen business acumen, he soon succeeded. His secret of starting a business is only a short sentence: being the taillight of others.

Comment: The two stories (The Tragedy of Life) and (Being the Taillight of Others) are related, and it will have a better effect to watch them together.

These two stories are mutually explanatory. If you want to be the taillight of others, you must have a free mind and choose your own direction by your own thinking. If you want to have a free mind, you must have the will to be the taillight of others, which is what we often say, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier."

do you want to pursue a more valuable life? If that's the case, then you have to have a free-thinking mind and the will to be the taillight of others. Otherwise, please honestly follow others and live a "satisfactory" life like that cow, and please stop complaining.
