The Irish writer Bernard Shaw (1856- 1950) became famous and was overwhelmed by crowds.

One day, King George VI of England went to visit the writer. After the greeting, due to the disparity in interests and cultural literacy, the two were soon speechless.

Seeing that the king didn't leave, Bernard Shaw slowly took out his pocket watch and stared at it until the king had to leave.

Afterwards, someone asked him if he liked George VI. Bernard Shaw smiled humorously and replied, "Of course, he really made me happy when he left."

Step 2 refuse to "buy"

Once, the owner of a shoe oil factory came up with a clever idea to make a fortune. He asked Bernard Shaw to allow him to use Bernard Shaw's name as the brand name of a new shoe polish.

The boss said to Bernard Shaw, "If you agree to do this, millions of people in the world will know your name."

Bernard Shaw said, "No, there are exceptions."

The boss froze.

Bernard Shaw went on to say, "You have forgotten people who have no shoes to wear!" " "

3. Bernard Shaw and the little girl

Once, Bernard Shaw was walking in the streets of Moscow. He met a clever little girl and played with her for a long time. When saying goodbye, Bernard Shaw said to the little girl, "Go back and tell your mother that the world-famous Bernard Shaw will play with you today."

The little girl glanced at Bernard Shaw and said in an adult voice, "Go back and tell your mother that Anna, a little girl from Moscow, is playing with you today." Bernard Shaw was speechless for a moment.

Later, he often recalled this incident and said with great emotion: "No matter how great a person has achieved, he should treat everyone equally and always remain humble ... This is a lesson that the little girl in Moscow taught me, and I will never forget her!"

4. Writers and publishers

An English publisher wants to be praised by Bernard Shaw, a great writer, in order to improve his social status. He thought: to get Bernard Shaw's praise, you must praise Bernard Shaw first. So he went to visit Bernard Shaw.

When he saw Bernard Shaw commenting on Shakespeare's works, he said, "Ah, sir. You commented on Shakespeare again. Yes, since ancient times, there are too few people who really understand Shakespeare, only two. "

Bernard Shaw has understood his meaning and wants him to go on.

"Yes, only two people. The first one is you, Mr. Bernard Shaw. But, what about another one? Who do you think he should be? "

Bernard Shaw said, "That is Shakespeare himself, of course."

5, everyone knows.

One day, Bernard Shaw was invited to a luxurious dinner party. During the dinner, a young man boasted of his genius in front of a great writer, as if he knew everything and was arrogant.

At first, Bernard Shaw was silent and all ears. Later, the more I listened, the more I felt that it was not a taste. At last he couldn't help it, and said, "Young friend, as long as the two of us unite, everything in the world will know."

The man said in surprise, "Not necessarily!"

Bernard Shaw said, "Why not? You know everything in the world well. However, there is still one thing missing, that is, I don't know that boasting will make rich food boring. I just understand this. Together, don't we know everything? "
