An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time

Life

Life is the source of knowledge and a treasure house of composition materials.

Reading all good books is talking to many noble people - Descartes

The wisdom of life probably lies in asking why when things happen - Balzac

To learn knowledge, you must be good at thinking, thinking, and thinking again. This is how I became a scientist - Einstein

Knowledge is as precious as human blood. If a person lacks blood, his body will be weak; if a person lacks knowledge, his mind will dry up - Gao Shiqi When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

Don’t let a small dispute cost you a friendship.

A caring family atmosphere is the foundation of your life. "You can't have your cake and eat it too" comes from Mencius' "The Analects"

Beauty is everywhere. For our eyes, it is not a lack of beauty, but a lack of discovery - Rodin

I flutter on books like a hungry man on bread - Gorky (1) Simple joy

There was a little girl who walked from home to school every day.

One morning the weather was not good, the clouds gradually thickened, and in the afternoon the wind blew stronger.

Soon there started to be lightning, thunder, and heavy rain.

The little girl’s mother was very worried. She was worried that the little girl would be frightened by thunder,

or even be struck by thunder.

The thunderstorm was getting heavier and heavier, and the lightning pierced the sky like a sharp sword.

The little girl’s mother hurriedly drove her car,

I went to look for the little girl along the route to school.

I saw my little daughter walking alone on the street.

I found that every time there was lightning, she stopped.丶

Look up and smile. After watching for a long time,

The mother finally couldn't help but stop her child,

asked her: "What are you doing?"

She Said: "God just took a picture of me, so I want to smile!"

(2) Loss and possession

An entrepreneur has made amazing achievements in the business.

When he was at the peak of his career,

one day he accompanied his father to a noble restaurant for dinner.

There was an extraordinary piano player present. The violinist is playing for everyone.

While listening to the music, the entrepreneur remembered that he had also learned piano back then,

and was almost crazy about it,

so he told his father Said: "If I had studied piano well before,

Maybe I would be playing here now.

"Yes, son," his father replied,

"But in that case, you wouldn't be dining here now."

Meditation: We often lament about lost opportunities or achievements,

but often forget Be grateful for what you have now.

(3) Know your "limited" intelligence

There was a smart boy.

One day his mother took him to the grocery store to buy things.

When the boss saw this cute child, he opened a can of candies and asked the little boy to get a handful of candies by himself.

But the boy didn't make any move. After several invitations, the boss personally grabbed a handful of candies and put them into his pocket.

After returning home, the mother asked the little boy curiously,

Why didn’t he catch the candies by himself but asked the boss to catch them?

The little boy answered brilliantly: "Because my hands are smaller!

And the boss's hands are bigger, so he must take a lot more than me!"

Meditation: This is a smart child. He knows his own limitations.

And more importantly, he also understands that others are better than himself.

Not only rely on your own strength for everything, but also learn to rely on others when appropriate.

It is a kind of humility, but also a kind of wisdom.

(4) The Art of Listening

The famous American host "Linklater" interviewed a child one day and asked him: "When you grow up "What do you want to be in the future?"

The child answered innocently: "Well... I want to be a pilot of a plane!"

Linklater then asked: "If one day,

Your plane flies over the Pacific Ocean and all the engines stall.

What will you do?" The child thought for a while:

"I will tell you first. The people sitting on the plane fastened their seat belts,

Then I hung up my parachute and jumped out."

While the audience was shaking with laughter,

Linklater continued to watch the kid,

wanting to see if he was a smart guy. Unexpectedly,

The next two lines of the child's words burst into tears.

This made Linklater realize that the child's compassion was far beyond what words can express. Can describe.

So Linklater asked him: "Why do you do this?"

The child's answer revealed a child's sincere thoughts:

"I I’m going to get fuel, and I’m going to come back!”

“I’m going to come back!”

When you hear someone speaking...do you really understand what they are saying?

Do you understand?

If you don’t understand, please listen to what others have to say. This is the "art of listening"

1. Don’t listen half-heartedly.

2. Also, don’t project your own meaning onto what others say.

(5) The inspiration of walking

God gave me a task and asked me to take a snail for a walk.

I can't walk too fast, the snail has tried its best to crawl,

It always moves a little bit every time. I urged it, I bluffed it,

I blamed it, and the snail looked at me apologetically, as if to say:

"I have tried my best!"

I pulled it, I pulled it, I even wanted to kick it, the snail was injured,

It was sweating, panting, crawling forward

It’s so strange, Why did God tell me to take a snail for a walk?

Oh God! Why? "There was silence in the sky.

"Oh! Maybe God went to catch snails!" Okay! Let go!

God doesn’t care anyway, so why should I care?

Let the snail crawl forward while I sulk behind.

Huh? I smell the fragrance of flowers. It turns out there is a garden here.

I felt the breeze blowing. It turned out that the wind at night was so gentle.

Wait! I heard the sound of birds, I heard the chirping of insects,

I saw how beautiful the stars in the sky were. Huh?

Why didn’t you have these experiences before? I suddenly remembered,

Maybe I made a mistake!

It turns out that God asked the snail to take me for a walk.

Have you found your snail? Go for a walk once in a while!

(6) You can really feel at ease

Milan Kundera has a book called "Living Elsewhere",

I have these five words There is a good association,

Our lives are always far away, and we are all thinking:

If I have money tomorrow, I can....

But if you make less money and are not happy now, no matter how much money you have,

I guarantee you will not be happy;

If you are a You will not be happy when you are a human being. Even if you marry someone,

Marry a wife! Others will be equally unhappy with you;

If you don’t know how to enjoy life now, you will not be happy in the future. Not enjoying life.

Someone asked what freedom is. The so-called freedom is:

You don’t need any reason to refuse a date.

You have the power. Live the life you want to live, and have the right to go where you want to go. In fact, life is very simple.

Both men and women like to set a deadline in their lives.

For example:

I must get married at the age of 25 and have children at the age of 26. ,

When you are 30 years old, you must have a boy and a girl, and when you are 31 years old, you must have a house.

So many decisions are made hastily.

If the person you are looking for is not right at the beginning, no matter how hard you try in the future, it will not be right;

Sometimes, we often feel that once we get married, all problems will disappear.

If you still have problems after getting married, hurry up and have children for life.

In fact, if your problems are not solved at this stage, they will only get bigger in the next stage;

p>

You don’t have to expect too much from the future, expect too much...

To be honest, the frustration will be deep.

Why don’t you look at what you are doing now? What things will make you feel at ease?

Absorb a lot of things.

Only then will you feel that your life is really fulfilling.

In addition, if a person works too hard to live for others,

it will be extremely painful.

If you believe that you have done a good job today, ,

When you don’t care what others think of you,

You can really feel at ease.

(7) Patience is not enough

I have a friend who once had a fortune of hundreds of millions. When the stock market crashed, he suddenly collapsed.

For a while, he was extremely depressed. His cholesterol and blood pressure were extremely high, and he also suffered from severe depression.

I met the couple in a department store recently, and they were looking at the crystal glass with a happy face.

"I can't afford it anymore," he smiled at me,

"I have sold all my previous collections, but it's good to just look at them in the window and just appreciate them. ”

I often see a political celebrity on TV.

In his early years, he was imprisoned for more than 20 years because he was a dissident.

But when others desperately sought justice from the old government, he did not.

He always has a chic smile, even his eyes smile, and there is no trace of anger or resentment.

"To deal with persecution, patience is not enough, you must forgive." If people do not have greedy and delusional thoughts, they can have spiritual wealth.

Only when people can replace hatred with forgiveness can they have spiritual composure.

(8) Don’t lose the value of life

I met a young man who just got his Ph.D. from MIT.

"It's not easy," I praised him. "After getting a Ph.D. from MIT, you can fully realize your ambition."

"Yes, I have to hurry up, otherwise It’s a big loss.”

“It’s a big loss?” I don’t quite understand what he said.

"Yes," he smiled, "do the math, I am twenty-eight years old this year, and I have learned to sit, crawl, walk and talk since I was born. , primary school, middle school, university,

It took me twenty-eight years to get my degree today.

I also consumed the resources of my parents and society for twenty-eight years. Ah!"

Sighed: "But, how many more years are there?

For people like us who are engaged in cutting-edge technology, if we don't keep working hard, we may not be able to work.

It’s not even twenty-eight years yet. By the time I’m fifty-six, I’ll be already behind the times.”

Isn’t it? I calculated that the reward for studying is quite limited.

For this doctor, one year of study is only equivalent to one year of use in the future.

One hour of study only earns one hour of return.

No wonder he said - "I have to start quickly. The moment I graduate, that's the moment I start. In the next twenty-eight years, I will make good use of the past. In the past twenty-eight years,

only then can I be even and my life not be at a loss."

(10) Stop running forward...

The Russian writer Tolstoy wrote a short story:

There was a farmer who went out early and came back late every day to cultivate a small piece of barren land, but the harvest was very small;

An angel felt pity for the farmer's situation and said to the farmer that as long as he could keep running forward,

All the places he ran through, no matter how big, would all belong to him.

So, the farmer ran forward excitedly, and kept running, and kept running! I am tired from running and want to stop and rest.

However, when I think about my wife and children at home, they all need more land to cultivate and make money!

So, he ran forward desperately!

I’m really tired. The farmer is out of breath and can’t run anymore!

However, the farmer thought that when he got older, he might not have anyone to take care of him and would need money.

He cheered up and ran forward regardless of his panting body!

In the end, he lost all his strength and "dong", he fell to the ground and died!

Indeed, people must work hard to live in this world;

But when we do it for ourselves, our children, and a better life,

And When you are constantly "running forward" and constantly "working hard to make money",

You must also clearly understand that sometimes, it is time to "run back"!

Because, your wife and children are leaning against the door eagerly waiting for you to come back!

"Run back quickly, come back quickly!" If you don't "run back,"

We may never see each other again!

(11) Go to a feast of life

If you invite a girlfriend you have just met to eat Western food.

"That's it," she tapped with her little finger, "the whole meal."

The hors d'oeuvres came, and she ate them up.

When the soup came up, it bottomed out immediately. The salad came and she devoured it one by one.

The appetizers for the main course were served, and she ate slowly, eating half of them.

The main dish was served, and she was already touching her chest and gasping: "I'm too full, I can't eat any more."

This kind of girl may have never seen the world.

She didn’t mean to treat you like a cheat, she just doesn’t know how to order.

On the contrary, if the girl eats a little of everything and only chooses the entrance she likes,

It may not be simple. She must be a well-informed girl.

It’s enough to make a poor little boy like you miserable.

If you are a girl and you love the boy who treats you, please don’t kill his wallet and order less.

But on the contrary, life is also like a feast.

If you want to live a fuller life, you should imitate the lady who knows how to eat the whole meal.

You have to taste it bit by bit, and never use more of what should be tasted;

Never ignore what should be the main course. The feast of life is God’s treat.

He puts the entire "menu of heaven and earth" in front of your eyes for you to order.

You can be very ambitious and order a full Italian meal.

It’s just that if you don’t know how to choose, you don’t know how to give up.

In the process of serving this feast of life, you will eat everything you see.

You will definitely become more and more tired after eating, and bid farewell to this feast early.

Look at how many successful and famous people in this world, in their later years, are still sitting at the feast table of their lives,

tasting the last dessert and the wine after the meal. When you envy them,

You have to tell yourself first - "They can eat all the feasts of life because they know the trade-offs.

They know to eat less in front of them , instead of gobbling up everything."

12) Clownfish and Sea Anemone

My friends unanimously praised "Nemo", and I like to watch animations.

I also like to watch marine life documentaries on Discovery Channel. I have every reason to go to the theater to watch them without waiting for the VCD to be released.

The first shot takes the audience into the deep sea. Because it is an animation, the definition is very high, and the waves are more rippling, the water is clearer, and the sand is softer than in real documentaries.

I exclaimed: "They are clown fish and sea anemones!" My friend F wondered: "Why do you recognize these marine creatures at a glance?"

The movie was playing at the time, so I was inconvenienced. Throw away your schoolbag. My admiration for clownfish and sea anemones is not entirely because of the lifelike computer animation; it is because of the subtle symbiosis between these two creatures.

The tentacles of the sea anemone can secrete chemicals to sting swimming fish. This is its method of hunting and self-protection. It only does not sting the clownfish because the clownfish has a layer of The mucus is immune to the poison of the sea anemone, and this fish eats everything, which helps clean the sea anemone, so the sea anemone allows the clownfish to live in it.

A bad guy who does all kinds of evil will always meet someone who makes him fall in love, like an anemone meeting a clownfish, but what is the reason for falling in love?

On the contrary, I have also seen good people being particularly harsh to a certain family member?

For example, a mother is particularly strict with a certain child, or a husband is particularly picky with his wife, but one is willing to hit and the other is willing to suffer.

Whether it is special or special, whether it is happiness or pain,

This subtle sexual and biological relationship will continue.

(13) People must strive for success in life

There was a young painter who lived in a small and narrow house before he became famous and made a living by painting portraits.

One day, a rich man passed by and liked his meticulous painting skills, so he asked him to help him paint a portrait.

The two parties agreed that the remuneration would be 10,000 yuan.

A week later, the portrait was completed, and the rich man came to pick up the painting as promised. At this time, the rich man had evil thoughts in his heart.

He was young and not yet famous, so he refused to pay the remuneration as originally agreed.

The rich man thinks: "The figure in the painting looks like me. If I don't buy this painting, then no one will buy it.

Why should I spend so much? How about money to buy it?"

So the rich man refused to pay and said he would only spend 3,000 yuan to buy the painting.

The young painter was stunned. He had never encountered such a thing before. He was a little panicked and spent a lot of time arguing with the rich, hoping that the rich would comply. Make a promise to be a trustworthy person.

"I can only spend 3,000 yuan to buy this painting, so stop asking for it."

The rich man thinks he has the upper hand. "Finally, let me ask you, three Thousand yuan, should I sell it?"

The young painter knew that the rich man was deliberately defaulting on his debt, and he felt indignant. He said in a firm tone:

"I won't sell it.

I would rather not sell this painting than suffer your humiliation. If you break your promise today, you will definitely pay twenty times the price in the future. "

"What a joke, twenty times, it's two hundred thousand! I'm not stupid enough to spend two hundred thousand to buy this painting."

"Then, let's wait. Take a look." The young painter said to the rich man who left in anger.

After being stimulated by this incident, the painter moved away from this sad place, studied under his master again, and practiced hard day and night.

Huang Tian paid off his hard work. More than ten years later, he finally broke into a world and became a well-known figure in the art world.

What about the rich man? After leaving the studio, I forgot about the painter's paintings and words the next day.

Until that day, several friends of the rich man came to him and told him:

"Friend! There is something strange! These days we are going to visit a famous artist's house. In the art exhibition, there is a painting with a price tag of 200,000. The character in the painting looks exactly like you. What’s funny is that the title of this painting is - Thief."

The person seemed to have been hit on the head with a stick, and the rich man remembered what happened to the painter more than ten years ago.

This incident hurt him so much that he immediately rushed to the young painter overnight, apologized to him, and spent 200,000 to buy back the portrait painting.

The young man made the rich bow their heads with his unyielding ambition. This young man's name is Picasso.

This gives us a revelation:

People should strive for success in life, do not be discouraged, regard setbacks as steps, and work unremittingly. In the end, they will be able to achieve their ideals and fulfill their wishes.

Do you believe it? No one can humiliate and defeat you except yourself.

(14) The small crack in the bucket

I hope you can share it with your friends

It is said that once upon a time, a rich man hired a butler,

The housekeeper goes to the well two miles outside the house to fetch water every day

The housekeeper uses two buckets, one of which is perfect, and the other bucket has a small crack.

So even if the housekeeper filled two buckets every time, he would only have one and a half buckets of water when he returned to the owner's house.

The defective bucket became unhappy after a while.

So he said to the steward: "I feel very unhappy because every day the water you fetch is leaking from me. Half,

Either you are scolded by the master, or you are asked to go more often. I am so useless, why do you still use me? ”

The housekeeper then went to pick it up next time. Please take a look at the defective bucket when drinking water.

It turns out that there are beautiful flowers growing on the roadside. Many times,

the housekeeper will pick these flowers to decorate the owner's room to make the owner happy. Happy.

The housekeeper told Bucket that because he saw its problem, he sowed some flower seeds on the roadside.

The roadside was filled with beautiful flowers. So even though the bucket has its flaws,

it can still bring value to the world. The problem is how to make full use of it!

This story was circulated in e-mails.

One of the women who was considering ending her life saw this story.

It changed her view and gave up the thought of Meng's death.

I hope you can share it with your friends. Maybe you can save many people’s lives directly or indirectly.

(15) McDonald's

A new McDonald's opened near my home.

The dazzling M sign immediately became a conspicuous indicator, whether it was guiding the driver in the car,

or the roundworm in the stomach.

As for me, because I have been studying abroad, I have never had the opportunity to step into this world-class snack, McDonald's, which is only 100 meters away from my home.

Until that day, when I returned home, my mother happened to have returned to Penghu, and my sister went to attend a friend’s wedding banquet in Tainan.

The kitchen, which was usually filled with the aroma of food, suddenly became empty. . In such a big family, I am the only one left.

So, I made up my mind and stepped into the big yellow M, McDonald’s, right next door to my house.

When I opened the door, it was still so clean and refreshing. Ronald McDonald greeted me with a friendly smile.

So, I ordered meal No. 1 and found a window seat to sit down very relaxedly and happily.

Eating delicious hamburgers and thinking about why McDonald’s is so popular. The reason for all Taiwan.

Because McDonald's marketing strategy is aimed at "children". There is no greater wish than the satisfying smile of a child.

Suddenly, I saw two people, and they attracted my attention in an instant.

Because they don’t match this neat and new building at all.

They are a father and a child. The yellowed shirt on my father's body had a hole in the east,

a hole in the west, and was stained with oil stains that were not sure whether they were gasoline or black oil. His face looked slightly thin,

Especially the skin that has been constantly baptized by the sun, it looks even more weathered.

If I guessed correctly, he should be a worker.

Compared with his father, the child is not too thin, but if compared with any kid running around holding an airplane in McDonald's, he is really thin. Too dark and too small.

The two people slowly walked into McDonald's. From their hesitant steps and attitude of looking around,

It can be guessed that it was their first time to come to this kind of fast food. shop.

"We want a French fries, a Coke, and two pork burgers..." Dad stammered,

"Total ***150 yuan "The clerk still has McDonald's signature smile on his face.

"150 yuan? OK... OK..." The father lowered his head and kept digging in his pocket with his black and dirty hands,

Ding Dong Ding-dang, a bag of copper coins were scattered on the white dining table.

The father held the copper plates and counted them slowly.

"10 yuan, 20 yuan, 30 yuan, 40 yuan, 50 yuan, 55 yuan, 56 yuan..."

The clerk remained calm and still smiled. , waiting for customers to count the change in their hands.

But I have already seen several young people in line behind them showing impatient expressions.

Suddenly, the child, who had been silent at first, pulled his father’s dirty shirt and shouted,

Dad, I want that car, and I want that car. ..."

"A car toy?" My father squinted at the toy.

He turned to the clerk and asked, "How much does it cost to add this toy? ?”

“It’s 50 yuan.” The clerk’s voice raised slightly, not sure whether it was to remind his father that the change on his hand might not be enough to pay, or to let him know the difficulty. retreat.

The father did not speak, but showed a troubled expression.

A few wrinkles were squeezed on his dark forehead, but a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Such an expression is so profound. I almost couldn't help it and wanted to put down the burger in my hand and take out the fifty yuan that was still in my pocket. But in the end, I didn't move because I wanted to know my father's choice.

"Then...Miss, I'm sorry...I don't want that burger, just a hamburger."

The clerk hesitated for a moment and quickly pressed the button Pressing the change key, a hamburger that may be the only time my father eats in his life turns into a toy car.

At this time, after his father finished counting the money, he put away the two or three change left on the table,

picked up the wooden plate in one hand.

The other hand held the child's hand.

Slowly walking towards their seats, at that moment, I saw the pride of being a father.

Qu Lou's body suddenly became upright.

And his little friend was so excited, jumping and laughing, making the sound of a purring car,

playing with his new toy.

I opened my eyes and looked at them secretly.

The father didn’t eat anything, but looked at the extremely excited children with a very satisfied smile.

One moment he played with toys, the next moment he grabbed French fries, and used various Enjoy this hard-won delicacy.

I watched quietly, and suddenly realized that I had to find a place,

find a pen, maybe the Internet, to record my father's expression at that time.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the child in front of him with great affection, and those wrinkles tightened on his forehead again.

Only this time, he really laughed. No longer a wry smile. But a very satisfied smile.

Why can McDonald’s take the world by storm?

Because the love of parents can sweep the whole world.

I seemed to feel his satisfaction, lowered my head, smiled and finished the burger in my hand.

Back section

I finished eating the burger, finally took out the fifty yuan in my pocket and walked to the counter.

"Please give me another Han..." I was only halfway through my words when I found...

The young female clerk had already pulled out a fresh...

The burger came out of the oven,

smiled at me, then left the counter and walked towards the table where the father and son were sitting.

When she walked past me, she winked playfully.

"This burger has already been ordered."

(16) Locks and Keys

The world's most sophisticated electronic locks and electronic keys are finally available Got it!

They were all bought together by a wealthy man.

Both locks and keys are extremely proud of their identity and status.

One day, the lock said to the key:

"Hey! Look! Without me, how can you survive today?"

"Really? ? You don't have me? I'm just a piece of trash!" said the key.

"Haha~haha! What will happen without me guarding the master's property?

Think about it with your bean head!" Suo said arrogantly.

"Waste is waste, and the things you come up with are meaningless! Without me to command you,

Will you know how to open and close your clumsy door latch? Use your Think about it, Straw Brain!"

The key did not give in to the lock; just like that, they kept arguing until everyone ignored each other.

One day, the wealthy owner finally couldn't open the door with the electronic lock. Without saying a word, he used a screwdriver to break the electronic lock.

Then he separated the electronic lock and the electronic key. Discard them together.

He no longer believed in troublesome electronic locks, and then replaced them with traditional door locks.

Electronic locks and electronic keys were originally a seamless and perfect match.

They all ended up like this because of their own opinions. ． ．

Have you ever experienced a seamless and perfect cooperation?

You once deeply trusted each other, right?

Why did it end up like this?

Is it just an arrangement of God’s will and fate?

Have you ever truly reflected?

Have you ever really thought deeply about it?

Fate once bound you together tightly, and you were once a perfect combination.

We also once freely entered and exited each other's inner world.

Since then, we have added sophisticated electronic locks to our hearts?

When our hearts are heavy and our hearts are broken, we will use methods that are loyal to ourselves to deal with others;

A simple movement and a simple word can create a seamless and perfect combination. It was shattered into pieces;

Fate suddenly turned into a fragile little trick. ． ．

We don’t trust each other anymore!

It’s not that the other party can’t be trusted, nor that fate can’t be trusted, but that we can no longer trust ourselves.

Now, you can think about it, is everything really God’s will?

(17) The story of the gecko

In Japan, a very true thing happened:

Someone tore down the walls in order to decorate their home;

The walls of Japanese-style houses are usually made of wooden boards in the middle and covered with soil on both sides. In fact, they are empty inside.

When he was tearing down the wall, he found a gecko trapped there. A nail driven in from the outside nailed the gecko's tail.

When the man saw this, he felt pitiful and curious. He took a closer look at the nail. Oh my God!

That nail was driven in when the house was built ten years ago.

What's going on?

That gecko actually lived trapped in the wall for ten years!

The ten years in the dark wall are really not simple. Isn’t that right?

He then thought about how this gecko, whose tail was nailed and could not take a single step, had survived these ten years.

He temporarily stopped the decoration project: "What does it eat?" He wanted to find out.

Not long after, another gecko came out of nowhere with food in its mouth...ah!

He was stunned for a moment, what kind of love is this?

For the gecko whose tail was nailed and unable to move, another gecko kept feeding it with food for ten years.

I was very moved after hearing this. I really don’t think about the relationship between them: parents and children, friends, opposite sex, siblings...

With the development of computers in human society, With popularization, people can obtain relevant information more quickly.

But are the distances between people getting closer and closer?

People want to be useful people, not Be a person who only cares about decency and does no good to others. Excerpted from "Peanuts"
