Two hungry people also got a fishing rod and a basket of fish from their elders. It's just that they didn't part ways, but agreed to look for the sea together. They only cook one fish at a time. After a long journey, they came to the seaside. From then on, they began to make a living by fishing. A few years later, they built a house, had their own family, children and a fishing boat made by themselves, and lived a happy and healthy life.
A person who only cares about immediate interests will eventually get short-term happiness; One should aim high, but face the real life. Only by organically combining ideal with reality can we become a successful person. Sometimes, a simple truth is enough to give people meaningful life enlightenment.
The price of $ 2: 20 is what I read from an English story: A father came home from work late, tired and a little upset, and found his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door. "Dad, can I ask you a question?" "What's the problem?" "Dad, how much can you earn in an hour?" "It's none of your business. Why do you ask this question? " Father said angrily. "I just want to know, please tell me, how much do you earn an hour?" The child pleaded. "If you must know, I earn $20 an hour." "Oh," the child lowered his head and then said, "Dad, can you lend me 10 dollars?" Father is angry: "If you ask this question just to borrow money to buy meaningless toys or things, then go back to your room and sleep." Think about why you are so selfish. I work hard for a long time every day and have no time to play children's games with you. "The child quietly returned to his room and closed the door. Father sat down, still very angry. After about an hour, he calmed down and began to think that maybe he was too hard on the child-maybe the child really wanted to buy something, and besides, he rarely asked for money. The father walked into the child's room: "Are you asleep, son?" "Dad, not yet. I'm still awake." The child replied, "I may have been too hard on you just now," and my father said that I was furious today-here is the $65,438+00 you asked for. ""thank you, dad. "The child shouted, took out some crumpled bills from under his pillow and counted them slowly." You already have money, why do you want it? "Father said angrily, because I didn't have enough before, now I have enough. "The child replied," Dad, I have 20 yuan now. Can I buy it from you for an hour? Please go home early tomorrow. I want to have dinner with you. "Share this story with the people you like, but more importantly, share this $20 worth of time with the people you love-this is just to remind everyone who works hard not to spend a little time on people who care about us and let time slip through their fingers.
3. The value of life
Don't let yesterday's depression cover up tomorrow's dreams! At a seminar, a famous speaker held a $20 bill in his hand and didn't make an opening speech. Facing the 200 people in the meeting room, he asked, "Who wants this $20?"
Put one hand up. He went on to say, "I want to give this $20 to one of you, but before that, please allow me to do one thing." As he spoke, he crumpled up the money and asked, "Who wants more?" There are people holding hands. He added, "Well, what if I do this?" He threw the money on the ground, stepped on it and ran it over with his foot. Then he picked up the dirty and wrinkled bill. "Who wants it now?" Someone still raised their hands. "My friends, you 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 20 dollars. On the road of life, we will be knocked down, bullied or even crushed 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, dressed neatly or sloppy, you are still priceless. "
Tip: the value of life lies not in what we do, nor in who we make friends with, but in ourselves!
4. rostain and Long Mu are two French photographers. In 2000, they arrived in new york, not far from Wan Li, to attend the "Oscar" ceremony. Only when I arrived did I find that there was no chance to interview the stars at all. As a result, they spent a high price to live in a five-star hotel where the stars stayed, specifically "waiting for the rabbit", but until the stars were all empty, they still found nothing.
Rostain Long Mu is a little depressed. Will he really get nothing? That day, they walked into Tom Hanks's room, and careful rostain suddenly found a box of whitening tooth powder in the garbage bag. He immediately thought of Hanks' white teeth at the award ceremony. It must have something to do with this box of whitening dentifrice. He should put it away at once. He found the waiter again and offered to help them clean up the garbage in all the star rooms. From then on, they found a "doorway" that others ignored.
Four years later, in Manhattan, new york, an exhibition named "Superstar's mortal journey-star garbage exhibition" was unveiled, and the organizers were rostain and Long Mu. More than 2000 items were exhibited, such as canned food, mineral water bottles, newspapers and magazines. "groupies" swarmed in, and many stars themselves came to take part in their "nostalgia" trip. Later, rostain and Long Mu applied for patents for these star rubbish and made a fortune.

Twenty-five years ago, there was a young man selling fish balls in Singapore. Because fish balls are delicious and popular, he has a considerable deposit after a few years.
Many years ago, fish balls were just a small food to prevent fish from rotting. Several people saw that the fish balls he made sold well, so they partnered with him. Some people do it at home, others sell it on the street. As a result, business has grown.
Not long after, the young man said that he would borrow 6.5438+0.5 million yuan from the bank to buy equipment in Japan. It turned out that he saw a news that a high-yield meat grinder had been produced in Japan.
"Are you crazy? Fish balls can be made by hand, and there is no need to buy such expensive equipment. " His partner is very dissatisfied. "We have to look further. Only when we grow bigger can we earn more." The young man said.
A fish ball sells for 20 cents and only earns 70 cents. Everyone thinks this is a unnecessary thing to do. It's like jumping into a fire pit. "In that case, we won't do stupid things with you." The partner saw that he didn't listen to persuasion and parted ways with him.
A few months later, the young man bought the equipment from Japan. Not long after, people found that he no longer sold fish balls in the street, but his fish balls could be seen in every corner of the city.
Other vendors did not expect that since the young man's fish balls went on the market, they could not be sold, because the young man's fish balls were superior in appearance and taste. Gradually, they also began to sell young people's products. After several years, the young man's daily output of fish balls has increased to 10 ton, which still can't meet the market demand. In the past 20 years, his annual output of fish balls has reached 8,000 tons, and his turnover has reached more than 30 million yuan.
At the beginning, that young man was Lin. He is the largest fish ball manufacturer in Singapore and the "king of fish balls". In an exclusive interview with Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore, he said: "In fact, I just changed fish balls into quantifiers in my mind. Fish balls are' one by one', but in my mind, they are all sold by tons. " Changing "a" into "a ton" is an upgrade of quantifiers, as well as entrepreneurial goals and life aspirations.
