The owner visits his factory and is shocked to see a man leaning against a wall,drinking coffee. "How much do you make?" he demands. "Eighty dollars a day,"is the reply.The owner hands him $81 and says,"Get out,and don't come back! "

Two minutes later the foreman comes in and asks ,"Where's the delivery man who was just there?"

The boss visited the factory and suddenly saw a man leaning against the wall drinking coffee. He was furious and asked, "How much do you earn every day?" "Eighty dollars a day." The man said casually. The boss gave him eighty yuan and said, "Go, don't come back!" After a while, the head waiter came, puzzled: "Where is the delivery man? He was here just now?"

1. Broken arrow

If you don't believe in your own will, you will never be a general.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a father and his son went to war. The father has become a general, and the son is just a pawn. Another horn sounded, the drums thundered, and my father solemnly held up an arrow bag with an arrow in it. The father solemnly said to his son, "This is a treasure-attacking arrow from home. It is extremely powerful when carried around, but you must never take it out."

It's an extremely exquisite quiver, made of thick cowhide, with a faint shiny copper edge. Look at the exposed tail. You can tell at a glance that it is made of the finest peacock feathers. My son's face was beaming, and he greedily speculated about the appearance of the shaft and arrow. As if the arrow whizzed past his ear, the enemy commander fell off his horse and died.

Sure enough, the son with the treasure arrow was brave and invincible. When the bugle sounded, the son could no longer resist the heroic spirit of victory, completely abandoned his father's exhortation, and a strong desire drove him to pull out his treasure arrow with a shout, trying to find out. Suddenly he was stunned.

a broken arrow, with a broken arrow in the quiver.

I've been fighting with a broken arrow! My son broke out in a cold sweat, as if the house lost its pillar in an instant and collapsed.

The result is self-evident, and my son died tragically in the disorderly army.

blowing away the misty smoke, my father picked up the broken arrow and spat heavily, "You can never be a general if you don't believe in your own will."

How foolish it is to pin one's victory or defeat on a precious arrow, and how dangerous it is when one gives the core and handle of life to others! For example, pin your hopes on your children; Put happiness on her husband; Put your life security on the unit ...

Tips: You are an arrow. If you want it to be tough, if you want it to be sharp, if you want it to pierce through the Yang with a hundred paces, sharpen it with a hundred shots, and only you can save it.

2. The value of life

Don't let yesterday's depression overshadow tomorrow's dreams!

At a seminar, a famous speaker held a $21 bill in his hand without making an opening speech.

Facing the 211 people in the meeting room, he asked, "Who wants this $21?" One hand raised. He went on to say, "I'm going to give this $21 to one of you, but before that, please allow me to do one thing." He said, crumpling the notes into a ball, and then asked, "Who wants more?" There are still people holding up their hands.

He added, "Well, what if I do this?" He threw the money on the ground, stepped on one foot and ran it over with his foot. Then he picked up the bill, which had become dirty and wrinkled.

"Who wants it now?" Someone still raised their hands.

"My friends, you have had a very meaningful lesson. No matter how I treat that bill, you still want it, because it hasn't depreciated, and it's still worth $21. On the road of life, we will be knocked down, bullied or even crushed to pieces by our own decisions or adversity countless times. We feel as if we are worthless. But no matter what happens, or what will happen, in the eyes of God, you will never lose value. In his view, dirty or clean, neatly dressed or untidy, you are still priceless. "

warm reminder: the value of life does not depend on what we do, nor on the people we make friends with, but on ourselves! We are unique-never forget this!

3. It's beautiful to hold your head high

Although it is a black cow, the milk is white.

Jenny is a little girl who always keeps her head down. She always thinks she is not beautiful enough. One day, she went to the jewelry store and bought a green bow. The shopkeeper kept praising her for wearing a beautiful bow. Although Jenny didn't believe it, she was very happy. She couldn't help but hold her head high and was eager to show it to everyone. She didn't care if she bumped into someone when she went out.

Jenny walked into the classroom and met her teacher head-on. "Jenny, how beautiful you are!" " The teacher patted her on the shoulder lovingly and said.

On that day, she was praised by many people. She thought it must be the bow, but when she looked in front of the mirror, there was no bow on her head. She must have lost it when she came out of the jewelry store.

Self-confidence is a kind of beauty, but many people lose a lot of happiness because they care too much about their appearance.

Tips: No matter whether you are poor or rich, whether you look like a fairy or plain, as long as you hold your head high, happiness will make you cute-the kind that everyone likes.

4. Draw a leaf for life

As long as you have faith, there will always be miracles. Although the hope is slim, it will last forever.

American writer Ou; In his novel The Last Leaf, Henry told a story: In the ward, a dying patient saw a tree outside the window from his room and fell one by one in the autumn wind. The patient looked at the rustling leaves in front of him, and his body went from bad to worse. She said, "When all the leaves are gone, I will die." When an old painter learned about it, he drew a leaf with green veins and hung it on a branch with a

colored pen.

the last leaf never fell off. The patient miraculously survived because of the green in his life.

Tips: Life can be without many things, but only without hope. Hope is an important value of human life. Where there is hope, life is endless!

5. Flying Spider

Faith is an indomitable force. When you firmly believe that you can succeed, you will succeed.

one day, I found that a black spider had made a big net between two eaves in the backyard. Can spiders fly? Otherwise, from this cornice to that cornice, there is a width of more than ten feet in the middle. How did you pull the first line? Later, I found that the spider took many detours-starting from one cornice, knotting, going down the wall, climbing forward step by step, carefully raising its tail, preventing the silk from touching the sand, stones or other objects on the ground, walking through the clearing, climbing up the opposite cornice, and then tightening the silk, so it will be the same in the future.

Tips: Spiders can't fly, but they can tie webs in mid-air. It is a diligent, sensitive, silent and tenacious insect, and its net is exquisitely made and regular, and it opens in a gossip shape, as if it were helped by God. Such achievements remind people of those taciturn people and some hidden wise men. So, I remembered that the spider can't fly, but it still spins its web in the air. Miracles are caused by those who hold

.

6. Shadow is a paper dragon

In life, there are often countless blows from the outside, but the final decision is in your hands.

Grandpa made me a long dragon out of paper. The gap in the abdominal cavity of the dragon can only accommodate a few locusts, and when they are put in, they all die inside, and no one is spared! Grandfather said: "The locusts are too impatient. Apart from struggling, they have never thought of biting the dragon with their mouths, and they don't know that they can climb out from the other end if they keep going forward." Therefore, although it has an iron pliers-like mouth shell and serrated thighs, it doesn't help.

"When my grandfather put several green worms of the same size in the faucet, and then turned off the faucet, a miracle appeared: in just a few minutes, the young green worms climbed out of the dragon's tail one by one.

Warm reminder: Destiny has always been hidden in our minds. Many people can't walk out of the shadows at different stages of life, big or small, not because their natural personal conditions are far worse than others, but because they don't have the thought to bite through the shadow paper dragon, and they don't have the patience to find a direction slowly and move forward step by step until a new hole appears in front of them.

7. Success is not as difficult as you think.

It's not because things are difficult that we dare not do, but because we dare not do them.

In p>1965, a Korean student went to Cambridge University to major in psychology. During afternoon tea, he often goes to the school cafe or teahouse to listen to some successful people chatting. These successful people include Nobel Prize winners, academic authorities in some fields < P > and some people who have created economic myths. These people are humorous and easy to lift their weight, and they all see their success as natural and logical. After a long time, he found that he was cheated by some successful people when he was in China. Those people generally exaggerate the hardships of starting their own businesses in order to let those who are starting their own businesses retreat, that is to say, they are scaring those who have not yet achieved success with their successful experiences.

As a student of psychology department, he thinks it is necessary to study the mentality of Korean successful people. In 1971, he took success as his graduation thesis and submitted it to Will, the founder of modern economic psychology.

professor Braden. After reading it, Professor Braden was greatly surprised. He thought it was a new discovery. Although this phenomenon is common in the East and even all over the world, no one has boldly proposed it and studied it before. Surprised, he wrote to his Cambridge alumnus, park chung-hee, who was sitting at the top of Korean politics at that time. In his letter, he said, "I can't say that this book has

much help to you, but I'm sure it can produce

more shock than any of your decrees."

Later, this book really took off with the Korean economy. This book has inspired many people, because they tell people from a new angle that success is not necessarily related to "straining their bones and starving their bodies and skins", "lighting the midnight oil at night" and "hanging the beam on their heads and stabbing their legs". As long as you are interested in a certain cause, you will succeed if you stick to it for a long time, because God has given you enough time and wisdom to

finish a thing successfully. Later, the young man also achieved success, and he became the president of Korea Panye Automobile Company.

warm reminder: you can do many things in the world if you want to, and you can also overcome the difficulties you should overcome. You don't need any iron will, let alone any skills or strategies. As long as a person is still living a simple and interesting life, he will eventually find that the creator's arrangement of the world is natural.

8. Take the ticket forever

Life is really interesting: if you only accept the best, you will often get the best.

There is a person who travels a lot and often can't buy the right ticket. But no matter how long or short the journey, no matter how crowded the bus is, he can always find a seat.

In fact, his method is very simple, that is, he patiently looks for it car by car. This method doesn't sound brilliant, but it works. Every time, he is ready to walk from the first car to the last car, but every time he doesn't have to walk to the end, he will find a vacancy. He said that this is because there are not many passengers who are so persistent in finding seats. Often, there are some seats left in the carriage where he left seat

, but in the aisles and car joints of other carriages, it is actually crowded.

He said that most passengers are easily confused by the superficial phenomenon of one or two cars being crowded, and they don't think much about the opportunities to provide seats in the dozens of stops and the flow from more than a dozen doors of the train. Even if they thought about it, they didn't have the patience to find it. It's easy for most people to be satisfied with a small foothold in front of them, and some people don't think it's worthwhile to squeeze around with their bags for one or two seats. They are also worried that if they can't find a seat, they won't even have a place to stand back. Just like some people who are content with the status quo and are afraid of failure, they can only stay at the starting point where they have no success. Most of these passengers who are unwilling to take the initiative to find seats can only stand at the initial place when they get on the bus until they get off.

Tips: Self-confidence, persistence, foresight and diligence in practice will make you hold a ticket for the journey of life forever.

9. Hard stones in our hearts

What hinders us from discovering and creating are only our psychological obstacles and hard stones in our minds.

once upon a time, there was a big stone in a family's vegetable garden, with a width of about 41 cm and a height of 11 cm. People who go to the vegetable garden will accidentally kick that big stone, either falling or scratching.

The son asked, "Dad, why didn't you dig up that nasty stone?"

Dad replied, "You mean that stone? Since your grandfather's time, it has been put into the present. Its volume is so large that I don't know when it will be dug. It is better to walk carefully and train your reaction ability. "

after a few years, this big stone was left to the next generation, when the son married his daughter-in-law and became a father.

One day, my daughter-in-law said angrily, "Dad, the more I look at that big stone in the vegetable garden, the more I dislike it. I'd better ask someone to move it another day."

Dad replied, "Forget it! That big stone is very heavy. If it can be moved, it will be moved when I was a child. How can it be left until now? "

My daughter-in-law has a bad feeling in her heart. I don't know how many times that big stone has made her fall.

One morning, my daughter-in-law took a hoe and a bucket of water and poured the whole bucket of water around the big stone.

ten minutes later, the daughter-in-law used a hoe to loosen the soil around the big stone.

Daughter-in-law has been psychologically prepared, and may have to dig for a day. No one expected to dig up the stone in a few minutes, and look at its size. This stone is not as big as expected, and it was deceived by that huge appearance.

Tips: You can't climb the mountain with the idea of going downhill. If your world is dull and hopeless, it is because you are dull and hopeless. To change your world, you must first change your own mentality.
