A man is exploring a cave by the beach. In a cave, he found a bag with some mud balls in it.
These little clay balls don't look very valuable, but they interest the man. He left the cave with his bag. He walked on the beach and threw a small clay ball into the sea at a time. One of the balls fell on the rock and broke into pieces. It turned out to be a beautiful gem!
The man was very excited. He opened the remaining small clay ball. Each clay ball contains a similar gem. He found thousands of dollars' worth of jewels in the remaining twenty small clay balls.
Then it suddenly occurred to him that he had probably thrown away fifty or sixty clay balls, and these hidden treasures just drifted with the tide. He could have taken away tens of thousands of precious stones, and now there are only a few thousand left!
In fact, people always do. When we look at others or even ourselves, we only see the clay covering the outside. It is not always beautiful, so we underestimate its value.
Each of us has a jewel. I hope we won't come to the end of our lives only to find that we have given up our treasures because they are hidden under a layer of soil.
Gem (2) A wise man found a gem in a mountain stream.
The next day, she met a hungry walker. The wise man opened his backpack and gave him food.
The hungry traveler saw the gem and asked the wise man to give it to him The wise man gave him the jewel without hesitation.
Monkey was overjoyed and left. He knows that this gem is priceless and he can enjoy it all his life.
But a few days later, he came back and returned the jewels to the wise man.
"I've been thinking," he said. "I know how valuable this gem is. I returned it to you in the hope that you could give me something more valuable. If you can give me this gem, there must be something more valuable on you. "
Throwing gems into the sea (3) There was a young man who wanted to get rich and almost went crazy. Whenever he hears where there is money, he tries his best to find it. One day, he heard that there was a white-haired old man in the nearby mountain. If you are destined to meet him, give him whatever he wants, and he will certainly not return empty-handed.
So, the young man packed his bags overnight and chased him to the mountain.
He waited there for five days and finally met the legendary old man. He asked the old man for jewels. The old man told him: "Every morning, before the sun rises, you go to the beach outside the village to find a' wishing stone'. Other stones are cold, but that' wishing stone' is different. If you hold it in your hand, you will feel warm and glowing. Once you find that' wishing stone', everything you pray for can be realized. "
The young man was very grateful to the old man and hurried back to the village.
Every morning, the young man checks the stones on the beach. When he found them neither warm nor shiny, he threw them into the sea. Day after day, month after month, the young people searched on the beach for half a year, but never found the warm and shiny "wishing stone".
One day, as usual, he began to pick up stones on the beach. As soon as he realized that it was not a "wishing stone", he threw it into the sea. One, two, three.
Suddenly, "Wow ..."
The young man began to cry, because he just threw the "wishing stone" into the sea and found it was "warm"!
Revelation: When an opportunity comes, many people are used to letting it slip through their hands. Once they find it, they will regret it. "Crying" and "early knowing" are useless.
Impurity is the real jade (4) Traveling in Ruili, she was attracted by all kinds of jade in the jade market. She decided to buy a jade blank and asked the sculptor to carve a pendant. But when she heard that the stones in the market were real or fake, she asked local experts and friends to help her choose.
She and her friend came to the jade market, and her friend said to her, "See what you like, you choose, and I will be your consultant."
In a booth, she took a fancy to a piece, smooth and transparent, really called "white as jade". But the friend said, "This is not jade, but water foam associated with jade, which is fake and worthless."
At another booth, she took a fancy to another one, which was bright in color and without any impurities. She naturally likes it. But a friend said, "This is not a good product either, but it has been chemically treated and colored. Although it looks beautiful, its value and taste are not high. " Naturally, she listened to her friend and gave up.
The friend said, "It seems that you are an out-and-out layman. Let me choose for you. "
In front of a booth, my friend stopped. She picked up a piece of wool, studied it over and over again, and then handed it to her and said, "What do you think of this one?"
She took it in her hand and observed it carefully, and she could see that she was not very satisfied. She said, "It's not as good as the two I saw before!" The friend said, "It hasn't been carved yet, but it will shine when it is carved." She added, "You are an expert. If you say yes, it will be really good. But the fly in the ointment is that there are fragmentary impurities in it.
The friend said, "This is the real natural jade. There is no jadeite without impurities. So if you want to buy real goods, you must accept the impurities inside. "
Real jade can't be flawless; Real life cannot be perfect. Is it not accepted because it is defective? This is untrue and unrealistic. Perhaps, the beauty of life is just like the beauty of jade, and it is precisely because of some flaws that it presents real beauty.
