Many years ago, in a small town named Cognac in the southwest of France, a child from a poor family often guarded oak barrels for local wineries to earn money to subsidize his family. He is a very diligent and attentive boy. He comes to the winery early every morning, wipes the oak barrels with rags and arranges them neatly in rows. In fact, this is beyond his job responsibilities. He just needs to watch the barrel and not be stolen by others, but he is happy to do this because he loves the winery. The winery owner loves the little boy's professionalism very much, and gives him double salary every month. Seeing that the little boy likes brewing, he also teaches him some brewing techniques.

What the little boy didn't expect, however, was that it was often windy in this place at night, and his neatly arranged wooden barrels, especially small wooden barrels, would be blown to the east and west by the wind overnight. Seeing that his labor achievements were destroyed, he cried very grievance. After the winery owner learned the reason, he gently touched his head and said, Don't be sad, son. Do something. We can conquer the wind. ? So, he asked the little boy to sit quietly on the barrel and think about the way to prevent the barrel from being blown down by the wind. The little boy thought for a long time, but he still didn't have a clue. He kicked the small barrel next to him and kicked the small barrel he was sitting in. The small barrel next to him fell down at once, while the barrel he was sitting in was motionless.

There is a way! He went to the river to get buckets of clear water and poured them into those empty oak barrels. He was busy all day.

It was dark when he filled all the oak barrels with water. The next day, at dawn, he got up and ran to the place where he put the barrels. He saw that the oak barrels were arranged neatly like yesterday, and none of them were blown down by the wind. The little boy told the winery owner happily, and the winery owner smiled and said to him: Son, why didn't those barrels blow down when they were full of water? That's because you increased the weight of the barrel! ?

Since then, the surrounding wineries have adopted the method of little boy, which has saved a lot of labor and kept the barrels clean. The little boy also constantly increased his weight, from guarding barrels to taking part in brewing, from tradition to innovation, and he made the little-known cognac town world-famous. This little boy is the future Remy? Martin, the classic wine brand Remy Martin? The founder of.

You and I are both barrels in the wind, and we can't control ourselves in many cases, but just remember: if the weight of the barrel is increased, it will never be blown down by the wind!
