Story 1: Generous meanness
I always thought I was a generous person. Because I like giving things to others, such as clothes, toys and accessories that I don't like.
I think people who have received my little gift must like and thank me. However, my father doesn't think so. In his view, this is ostensibly generous, but in fact it is stingy. I don't think so.
one day, my father took me to visit his boss. When leaving, his boss gave us a box of apples.
when I got home, my father and I opened the box and found some crumpled apples that were bigger than goose eggs. I couldn't help shouting, "What stupid thing is not as good as ours! No one wants to throw it away! "
Father pointed to the apples on the ground and said, "These apples tell us at least two things: First, they were given by others, and if they were bought by themselves, they wouldn't have been kept for so long. Second, this is what they can't eat, and it's a pity to throw it away, so they will give it to us by the way. " Without looking at those apples, I snorted: "Hum, what a broken thing!" "
"Yes, what a piece of shit! You should always remember this sentence. This is what you get when you give something you don't like and don't need to others! " My face turned red when I brushed it. I think of the used clothes, toys and ornaments I gave to others before. When they came home and opened them, they must have said the same thing.
My father looked at me and said, "Remember, don't treat others as fools. He will know the value of this thing as well as you. Either don't send it, or give it to others what you think is the best, favorite and most reluctant. "
Story 2: Beautiful and Ugly
There was an old man who was a famous writer in China. Before he died, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable. The secretary said, "I'll call the doctor." Unexpectedly, just as the secretary was about to open the door, she heard the old man say with great difficulty: "It's not' call', it's' please' ..." Then the old man fell into a coma and never woke up ...
Doctors and nurses all burst into tears when they heard all this.
A word "please", the warmest and brightest word in the world, is said from a respected old population in a very difficult but very natural way-this is a beautiful mind!
The old man didn't say anything anymore. This sentence is his last words-which are pure and thick, and in a sense even exceed the movie scripts and articles written by the old man. Because no one will doubt that this sentence, which best reflects the beautiful heart of the old man, is indeed interpreted by the old man with his life.
This old man is Xia Yan. Knowing this, I understand a truth: humility is a profound education, which is rooted in the soul and self-fragrant without flowers. Then I think of a character in Balzac's works-old Grandet. Old Grandet was dying, but he couldn't give up his rich fortune. He struggled hard and wanted to see his gold again. When the priest put the gilded cross to his mouth and asked him to kiss it to send his soul to heaven, his eyes miraculously lit up and he tried to make a gesture of "grabbing the cross", so this "last effort completely ruined his life".
It's fantastic. Balzac actually finished the image-building of a number one miser with such a vivid detail.
Xia Yan has left, and so has Grandet. However, their performance at the last moment of life has such a big contrast, one is beautiful and the other is absolutely ugly!
Story 3: Borrowing the Wisdom of Eggs
People who work in an office every day are like staying in a small circle, and close contact makes their relationship close. When newcomers first arrive, it is not easy to step into this circle, and there is often a sense of loneliness wandering abroad.
After graduating from college, my friend Shanshan has changed jobs three times. Although she didn't stay in one place for a long time at a time, she became good friends with her colleagues and made people feel reluctant to leave. I envied her very much, so I asked her what the secret was.
Shanshan told me a story: a foreign housewife saw a new family moving across the hall, and when she was cooking dinner, she went to borrow eggs to bake cakes. When the cake was baked, she sent another piece for others to taste. After a while, she became familiar with the housewife of that family. In fact, there are still many eggs in her refrigerator. She just borrowed eggs to create opportunities for contact with the family and lay the foundation for a good neighborhood relationship in the future. Shanshan said that the relationship between colleagues in the office also needs to be "managed" with a little thought. When you first arrive at a new working environment, only by finding opportunities to increase contact with colleagues around you and get familiar with them as soon as possible can you adapt to the new job quickly. In addition to the contact at work, Shanshan has her special "small means". For example, during the lunch break, I bought a packet of beautiful candy from the supermarket and distributed it to every colleague when I got back to the office. Some people will at least give a smile in return even if they don't like candy. Within a month, Shanshan became "one" with her colleagues, and everyone affectionately called her "Little Rabbit".
But there is a premise that you must communicate with your colleagues sincerely. If it is only for utilitarian purposes, it will not only help, but will be annoying.
Story 4: On the road with kindness
A trafficker abducted a 5-year-old boy. The little boy didn't cry like other children, but kept calling uncle trafficker, and took out a candy from his pocket and said, "Uncle, I love this candy. Does your child like candy, too? Uncle, it's sweet for you." At this time, the trafficker Yu remembered that he also had a home and a 5-year-old daughter. Her daughter also likes to eat candy. Every time she eats candy, she should give him one in her mouth and gently ask, "Dad, is it sweet?" The trafficker realized that living in the most difficult times also has its sweet side. The little boy's words stirred up the conscience of the trafficker, which had not been completely extinguished, and also stirred up his cherished affection for human family. He decided to surrender himself. After the case was solved, all the criminals except him were sentenced to death, and only he was sentenced to 15 years. It can be said that it was the remaining kindness in his heart that saved him, because if he didn't return the child and surrender himself that time, sooner or later he would eventually be caught and eventually sentenced to death.
there is another story, which I experienced personally. After graduating from high school, I became a builder because I didn't go to college. One day, I was standing under the scaffolding with a workman, and suddenly there was a scream around me. I found a shadow coming from where the workman was standing. I didn't think much, so I rushed to the workman around me and pushed him away. Just then, there was a loud noise behind me. I looked back and saw a heavy concrete slab falling where I had just stood. I am glad that I saved myself by saving others. At that moment, I stood in the warm sunshine, blowing the warm spring breeze. There are blue sky and white clouds overhead, and nearby are the blessed faces of workers. I have never felt so strongly that life has become so precious and beautiful because of kindness.
On the journey of life, please take kindness with you, because kindness is the patron saint of your life, and it will bring you luck, friendship and the most beautiful blessings in the world.
Story 5: The Power of Commitment
One day, a child and his father were guests at a friend's house. After the guests were seated, the host made tea for them, put the thermos bottle on the table, as if remembering something, and left the living room for the back room. When the father and son were enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window, they suddenly heard a loud explosion. When they looked back, it turned out that the thermos bottle fell to the ground and broke.
when the master heard the sound, he hurried out of the back room and said, "Never mind, never mind." My father paused a little and said that he accidentally knocked it over. Later, the father and son bid farewell to their master. On the way home, the son asked his father, "You didn't touch it. Why do you want to admit your mistake?" Father smiled: "In life, sometimes you need the courage to take responsibility instead of defending yourself. People are more willing to tolerate a person who admits his mistake, and it is no good arguing."
There is a story that the Zen master told the young monks that he had lost his beads after learning, and he wanted the person who stole them to admit it. For a long time, no one admitted it, but finally the Zen master let them go down the mountain. At this time, a blind monk stood still. Everyone was relieved that he was the one who stole the beads. The Zen master asked, "Did you steal the beads?" The monk replied, "No, I just want this matter to be settled. You don't have to doubt the senior brothers." The Zen master smiled. He took out the beads from his arms and praised, "Although you are blind, you are the one who really learned Buddhism!"
Whether in the workplace or at home, the courage to take responsibility will definitely make people trust you more and support you. Because only people with a sense of responsibility can become people who hold up the world.
Story 6: Real Businessman
A man passed by a busy railway station and saw a man with disabled legs setting up a pencil stall. He casually left one hundred yuan as a charity. But not long after he left, the man came back again. He said apologetically to the disabled person, "I'm sorry, you are a businessman, and I actually regard you as a beggar." After a while, he passed the railway station again, and the owner of a store smiled and called to him at the door. "I've been looking forward to your appearance," said the disabled man. "You are the first person to treat me as a businessman. You see, I'm a real businessman now."
Story 7: Dream
A man had a dream, in which he came to a house on the second floor. When I entered the first floor, I found a long big table. There were people sitting at the table, and the table was full of rich food, but no one could eat it. Because everyone's arms were cursed by the magician, they all became straight and their elbows could not be bent, and the food on the table could not be caught in their mouths, so everyone was sad. But he heard the laughter upstairs, and he went upstairs curiously. There were also a group of people who could not bend their elbows, but everyone was eating happily. It turns out that although everyone's arms can't be straight, because the people on the opposite side help each other and help each other to feed, everyone eats happily.
Story 8: Shout for the Mountain
A child ran to the mountain and inadvertently shouted "Hello ……" to the valley. As soon as the voice fell, there were echoes of "Hello …" from all directions. Dashan agreed. The child was surprised and shouted again, "Who are you?" Dashan also replied, "Who are you?" The child shouted, "Why didn't you tell me?" Dashan also said, "Why didn't you tell me?"
The child couldn't help getting angry and shouted, "I hate you." He didn't know it was a great shout. The voices from all over the world were: "I hate you, I hate you ..."
The child ran home crying and told his mother, who said to the child, "Son, go back and shout' I love you' to the mountain and try to see what the result will be, okay? "
The child ran to the mountain again. Sure enough, this time the child was surrounded by the echo of "I-love-you, I-love-you …".
the children laughed, and the mountains laughed.
The boy shook his head puzzled.
Story 9: Be your own master
When the calf saw the cow sweating profusely under the whip of the farmer, it felt very sad, and asked, "Mom, the world is so big, why do we have to suffer and be tortured here?"
While sweating profusely, the cow replied helplessly, "Son, I can't help it, since we ate it.
habit is your master from the beginning. If you are enslaved by it for a long time, you will be "involuntarily" and become its slave. On the contrary, if the habit is enslaved by you, you become the master of the habit. If you have good habits, you will have a happy and beautiful life.
Story 1: Watch out for scorpions around
One day, a frog was sitting by the river. A scorpion passed by and said to him, "Mr. Frog, I want to cross the river, but I can't swim." Can you have mercy and let me sit on your back and send me across the river?
The frog said, "But you are a scorpion. Scorpions like to sting frogs best."
Scorpion said, "Why am I stinging you? My purpose is to go to the other side of the river."
"ok!" The frog said, "As long as you don't sting me, come up and I'll walk you across the river."
However, as soon as they reached the middle of the river, the scorpion gave the frog a hard sting involuntarily. The frog struggled painfully and asked, "Why did you sting me? Now, neither of us can live."
the scorpion said, "I can't help it, because I am a scorpion. Scorpions just like to sting frogs. I really can't help myself."
story 11: jumping out of the ditch
a little frog is tired of the small ditch where he lives all the year round-there is less and less water in the ditch, and he has no food. The little frog kept jumping every day, trying to escape from this place. And its companion spent all day lazily squatting in the muddy puddle, saying, "Aren't you still hungry? What's the hurry?" Finally, one day, the little frog jumped into a big pond next to it, where there was a lot of delicious food, and he could swim freely. .
The little frog croaked and called to his partner, "Come here quickly, it's heaven here!" But its companion said, "I'm used to it here. I've lived here since I was a child. I'm too lazy to move!" "
soon, the water in the ditch dried up, and the little frog's companion starved to death.
Only by daring to break one's own inherent circle can one change one's destiny and have a broader development space. Those who stick to their habits and don't want to get out of their usual tracks will always be narrow-minded, and they will never make a breakthrough.
Story 12: Don't let the cockroach kill you
A man brought something called a cockroach to his new house. He will soon find that the whole clean house has become their world. Their reproductive capacity is amazing. But their harm is far more than that. What is really terrible is that cockroaches like dirty things best, and they go wherever they are not clean. Even the cleanest place, as long as it is climbed by them, will become a place for bacteria to breed.
This man tried to kill them by some means, such as cockroach house, cockroach medicine and other modern scientific weapons, but he found that cockroaches have obviously entered modernization. No matter what means, they are always getting stronger and stronger. Their advantage is that they are everywhere. As long as there is a little hiding place, they can settle down and breed, and then go out to spread viruses and filth. So his clothes, his suitcase, his cupboard and his bed have all become their unrestrained stage.
Finally, the man found that the only way to kill them was to throw away all the clothes, all the boxes, all the cabinets and beds.
Story 13: Close the children behind you
Former British Prime Minister Lloyd? George has a habit of closing the door behind him.
One day, George and his friends were walking in the yard. Every time they passed a door, George always closed it behind him. "Do you need to close these doors?" My friend was puzzled.
"Oh, of course it is necessary." tall
