2. What is the value of life?
don't let yesterday's depression overshadow tomorrow's dreams! ? At a seminar, a famous speaker held a $2 bill in his hand without making an opening speech. ? Facing the 2 people in the meeting room, he asked, "Who wants this $2?" ?
one hand raised. He went on to say, "I'm going to give this $2 to one of you, but before that, please allow me to do one thing." As he spoke, he crumpled up the bills and 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 $2. 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, you will never lose value in the eyes of God. In his view, dirty or clean, neatly dressed or untidy, you are still priceless. " ?
Tip: The value of life does not depend on what we do or the people we associate with, but on ourselves! We are unique-never forget this! ?
3. Is it 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 holding your head up!" " 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 appearance. ?
Tip: 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. Green leaves?
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. 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 fall off, I will die." When an old painter learned about it, he painted a leaf with green veins and hung it on the branch with a colored pen. The last leaf never fell off. The patient miraculously survived because of the green in his life. ?
tip: 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 spiders?
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 eave, knotting, going down the wall, climbing forward step by step, being careful, tilting its tail to prevent the silk from touching the sand or other objects on the ground, walking through the clearing, and then climbing up the opposite eave.
the height is almost the same, then tighten the silk, and it will be the same in the future. ? Tip: 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 persistent people. ?
6. Is the shadow 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. ?
hint: fate 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 them, but because we dare not do them. ? In 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 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 a business in order to let those who are starting a business retreat, that is to say, they are scaring those who have not yet succeeded with their successful experiences. As a student of psychology department, he thinks it is necessary to study the mentality of Korean successful people. ? In 197, he submitted his graduation thesis "Success is not as difficult as you think" to Professor Will Braden, the founder of modern economic psychology. 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 how much this book has helped you, but I'm sure it can shake you more 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. ?
Tip: 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 often travels on business and often can't buy a ticket for the right number. But no matter how long or short the journey, no matter how crowded the bus is, he can always find a seat. ? His method is actually very simple, that is, patiently looking for it from car to 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 sits, 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 that one or two carriages are crowded, and they don't think about it. In dozens of stops, there are many opportunities to provide seats in 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 is easy for most people to be satisfied with a small foothold in front of them, and some people feel that it is not worthwhile to carry their bags and squeeze 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. ?
Tip: Self-confidence, persistence, foresight and diligence in practice will make you hold a ticket for the journey of life forever. ?
9. A stone in your heart?
The only obstacles that hinder us from discovering and creating are our psychological obstacles and stubborn stones in our minds. ? Once upon a time, there was a big stone in a family's vegetable garden, with a width of about 4 cm and a height of 1 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 disgusting stone?" ?
Dad replied, "You mean that stone? Since your grandfather's time, it has been put into the present. What is its size?
Big, I don't know when to dig. If you have nothing to do but dig stones, you might as well walk carefully and train your reaction ability. " After a few years, this big stone was left to the next generation. At that time, the son married a daughter-in-law and became a father. One day, my daughter-in-law said angrily, "Dad, the big stone in the vegetable garden is getting more and more unpleasant to me. Please 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? " ? Daughter-in-law's heart is very bad. I don't know how many times that big stone has made her fall. ? One morning, the 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 had been psychologically prepared and might have to dig for a day. No one expected to dig up the stone in a few minutes. Look at the size. This stone is not as big as expected, and it was deceived by that huge appearance. ?

1, the pursuit of ecstasy?
don't think of yourself as a mouse, or you will be eaten by a cat. ? In 1858, a rich family in Sweden gave birth to a daughter. Soon, however, the child contracted an unexplained paralysis and lost the ability to walk. ? Once, the girl traveled by boat with her family. The captain's wife told the child that the captain had a bird of paradise. She was fascinated by the bird's description and wanted to see it for herself. So the nanny left the child on the deck and went to the captain herself. The child couldn't bear to wait, so she asked the waiter on board to take her to see the bird of paradise at once. The waiter didn't know that her legs couldn't walk, but just took her to see the beautiful bird. Miracle happened, and the child, because of excessive desire, forgot to hold the waiter's hand and walked slowly. Since then, the child's illness has recovered. When the girl grew up, she devoted herself to literary creation, and finally became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, that is, Thelma Lagroff. ?

11. Optimists and pessimists?
An optimist sees an opportunity in every crisis, while a pessimist sees a crisis in every opportunity. ?
My father wants to "reform the character" of a pair of twin brothers, because one of them is too optimistic and the other is too pessimistic. One day, he bought many colorful new toys for pessimistic children and sent optimistic children to a garage full of horse manure. ?
The next morning, the father saw the pessimistic child crying and asked, "Why don't you play with those toys?" "If you play, it will be bad." The child is still crying. ? The father sighed and went into the garage, only to find that the optimistic child was happily digging out something in the horse manure. ? "Tell you what, Dad." The child proudly declared to his father, "I think there must be a pony hidden in the horse manure pile!" " ?

12. Dare to take risks?
for those who are afraid of danger, it is everywhere. ?
One day, a lobster and a hermit crab met in the deep sea, and the hermit crab saw that the lobster was taking off its hard shell, revealing only its delicate body. The hermit crab said very nervously, "lobster, how can you give up the only hard shell that protects your body?" Aren't you afraid that a big fish will eat you up? Judging from your present situation, even the rapids will wash you to the rocks, so it's strange that you won't die then? " The lobster calmly replied, "Thank you for your concern, but you don't understand that every time we lobsters grow, we have to take off our old shells before we can grow stronger shells. The danger we face now is only to prepare for better development in the future." Hermit crabs think about it carefully. They only look for places to hide all day, without thinking about how to grow stronger. They only live under the protection of others all day. No wonder they always limit their development. ?
Tip: Everyone has a certain safety zone. If you want to surpass your current achievements, please don't limit yourself, be brave enough to accept challenges and enrich yourself, and you will certainly develop better than you imagined. ?
