Once a small country came to China to pay tribute to three identical gold people. The splendor of the golden wall made the emperor very happy. However, this small country is not kind, and at the same time a question arises: who is the most valuable of these three gold people? The emperor thought of many ways to ask the jeweler to check, weigh and watch the work, all of which were exactly the same. What shall we do? The messenger is still waiting for a return. A vast country, you don't even understand this little thing? Finally, an old minister who abdicated said that he had an idea. The emperor invited the emissary to the main hall, and the old minister confidently took three straws and inserted them into the ear of the first gold man. The straw came out of the other ear. The straw of the second gold man fell out directly from his mouth, and the straw of the third gold man fell into his stomach without any noise. The old minister said: the third gold man is the most valuable! The messenger was silent and the answer was correct.

This story tells us that the most valuable person is not necessarily the most talkative person. God gave us two ears and one mouth, which was supposed to make us listen more and talk less. Being good at listening is the most basic quality of a mature person.

habit

Father and son live on the mountain, and they have to drive the ox cart down the mountain to sell firewood every day. The old father is more experienced, driving in the town, the mountain road is rugged and curved, and the son has a good eye. He always reminds him when he wants to turn: "Dad, turn!" Once my father didn't go down the mountain because of illness, and my son drove alone. At the corner, the cow refused to turn, so the son tried every means to get out of the car and push and pull, lured by grass, and the cow did not move. What the hell is going on? My son is puzzled. In the end, there is only one way. He looked around to see that no one was there. He leaned close to the cow's ear and shouted, "Dad, turn!" " "Cow responded, moved.

Cows live by conditioned reflex, while people live by habit. A successful person knows how to cultivate good habits instead of bad ones. When more good habits are accumulated, there will naturally be a good life.

Gems in life

Early in the morning, before the sun came out, a fisherman came to the river. On the shore, he felt something under his feet, then a small bag of stones. He picked up his bag, put it aside, sat on the shore and waited for the sunrise ... he was waiting for the dawn to start his day's work. He lazily took some stones out of his bag and threw them into the water. There was really nothing else to do, so he continued to throw stones into the water one by one. Slowly, the sun rose and the earth began to shine again. At this time, all the stones were lost except one, and the last stone was in his hand. His heart almost stopped when he saw what he was holding in the sun. That's a jewel! It turned out that in the dark, he lost the whole bag of jewelry! Unconsciously, how much he lost! He was filled with remorse, cursing himself, crying his heart out, and almost lost his mind. The wealth that the fisherman met by chance enriched his life several times, but unconsciously disappeared from his hands. ...

To some extent, he was lucky ... at least there was a gem, and it was already dawn before he threw it away.

Just think about it. ...

In our life, most people are not even so lucky. It's dark around and time flies. Before the sun rises, we have wasted the gem of life ... life is a great wealth. If we don't make good use of it, we are just wasting it. When we know the importance of life, we have spent all our time. The secret, mystery, happiness, liberation, compassion and wisdom of life are all expected to be well mastered and utilized by us. Please don't abandon everything, or life will be full of remorse and self-blame like that fisherman. ...

Walk into the world of stars

A young American officer received a transfer order and the personnel order sent him to a base near the edge of the desert. He originally opposed his newly-married wife to follow him out of metropolis life and suffer hardships, but his wife insisted on accompanying him in order to prove the deep affection of husband and wife through thick and thin. The young officer had no choice but to take his wife and help her find a wooden house near the station. Summer is sultry, windy and dusty, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. To make matters worse, the Indians in the tribe don't understand English and even have problems in daily communication. After a few months, my wife couldn't stand this kind of life, so she wrote a letter to her mother. In addition to telling the hardships of life, the letter also said that she would return to the bustling city life. Her mother wrote back to her and said, "There are two prisoners. They live in the same cell and look out from the same window. One sees mud, the other sees stars. 」

The wife doesn't really want to leave her husband and go back to the city, just complaining! After receiving her mother's letter, she said to herself, "All right! I will find the stars. 」

From then on, she changed her attitude towards life, actively entered the life of Indians, learned their weaving and pottery firing, and became fascinated with Indian culture. She also carefully studied many books about astrology and used the natural advantages of desert areas to observe the stars. A few years later, she published several books about stars and became an expert in astrology.

Cherish every straw in life, every straw in life.

There is a fable in the west: there are fathers and sons in the desert, leading camels. They were all exhausted after the long journey. Thirst makes every step they take extremely difficult, and the desert is still endless. At this time, my father saw a horseshoe shining in the sun in the yellow sand-the legacy of desert pioneers. Father said to his son: pick it up, it will be useful. The son thought, what's the use of a horseshoe in this endless pile of yellow sand? The son shook his head and didn't bend over. So, my father leaned over and picked up the horseshoe and put it in the luggage. He said nothing and walked on. Finally, they came to a castle, and their father exchanged horseshoes for 1000 sour grapes. When they walked into the desert again, thirst made the father and son's throat smoke again. At this time, my father took out sour grapes and ate them while walking. Every time he dropped one, his son bent down to pick it up and eat it. His son bent hundreds of times for these hundreds of sour grapes.

There is a similar motto in the east: if you don't accumulate steps, you won't reach a thousand miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you won't be a river.

It can be seen that although the eastern and western cultures have different connotations in different cultural and historical backgrounds, the predecessors have given a piece of advice to the younger generations with their superhuman wisdom. In the words of modern people, that is: cherish every straw in life.

In the 1980s, a bus in a mine sent miners to the city to do business, but the bus broke down halfway. When the driver went down to repair the car, the bus stopped on a slope. The road is narrow, with cliffs on one side, but it is not surprising that miners are used to all this. Everyone laughed, laughing loudly. Suddenly, the car body began to move and slowly fell back-it turned out that the stone that padded the wheel slipped off. The car fell faster and faster, but the driver was locked out, and no matter how hard it was to chase it. The miners in the car were shocked, and no one knew how to stop the car. Seeing that the car was about to slide down the cliff, there was a loud noise and the car miraculously stopped. The shocked people just looked intently, but a woman with a child in her arms stopped the car. She put down the child, leaned down and pressed the brake pads tightly with both hands ... A major accident was avoided, and an unexpected trouble was solved. At that time, people regarded this woman as a hero. Wen Xun, a reporter who came to interview, asked her if she had ever driven a car before. She shook her head and said, "No .. I just pay attention to other people's cars and know which brakes are."

The story I learned from my father made me think deeply. At that time, I was only a child in junior high school, but I believe it was from then on that my attitude towards life changed. Because I know how to cherish every learning opportunity and strengthen the cultivation of every ability in the years to come. I think, from now on, I will study meticulously, even if it is "carving small skills" and "twists and turns"; Because I understand that I may not see its value today, I may still not see its value tomorrow, and I may never use it once in my life, but it is mine after all, and I don't know what year, month and day it is.

choose

Three people are going to be put in prison for three years, and the warden gives each of them a request.

Americans love to smoke cigars and asked for three boxes of cigars.

The French are the most romantic and want to be accompanied by beautiful women.

The Jew said he wanted a telephone to communicate with the outside world.

Three years later, the first person who rushed out was an American, with a cigar in his mouth and shouting, "Give me a fire, give me a fire!" " "It turned out that he forgot to make a fire.

Then the French came. I saw a child in his hand, a beautiful woman holding a child in her hand and a third one in her belly.

Finally, the Jews came out. He held the warden's hand tightly and said, "I have been in contact with the outside world every day for three years." My business has not stopped, but has increased by 200%. To express my gratitude, I send you an old Schleswig! "

This story tells us that what kind of choice determines what kind of life. Today's life is determined by our choices three years ago, and today's choices will determine our life three years later. What kind of choice determines what kind of life, we must make our own choices, so as to create our own future better.

How to employ people

Anyone who has been to the temple knows that as soon as he enters the temple gate, the first one is Amitabha, welcoming guests with a smiling face, and in the north of him, it is Darkmouth's black-faced Wei Tuo. But according to legend, a long time ago, they were not in the same temple, but in charge of different temples.

Buddha Miller is enthusiastic and happy, so many people come, but he doesn't care about anything, and his accounts are improperly managed, so he still can't make ends meet. Although Wei Tuo was a cook in charge of accounts, he was unhappy all day, which was too serious. He made fewer and fewer friends and finally died.

Buddha found this problem when he was looking for incense, so he put them in the same temple. Maitreya was in charge of public relations and greeted all the guests with smiles, so the incense was flourishing. And Wei Tuo is impartial, he will be better than others, so let him be in charge of finance and strictly control. In the division of labor and cooperation between the two people, the temple flourished.

In fact, in the eyes of the master of employing people, people without waste, like martial arts masters, can hurt people by picking flowers and flying leaves without expensive swords. The key is how to use them.

The doctor fell into the water.

A doctor was assigned to a research institute and became the person with the highest academic qualifications.

One day, he went fishing in the small pond behind his unit. It happened that the director and deputy director were around him and were fishing.

He just nodded slightly. What are these two undergraduates talking about?

After a while, the director put down the fishing rod, stretched himself and walked briskly across the water to go to the toilet.

The doctor's eyes are about to fall off. Floating on the water? Really? This is a pond.

When the director came back from the toilet, he also floated back from the water.

What's going on here? Doctoral students are not easy to ask, they are doctoral students!

After a while, the deputy director also stood up, took a few steps and floated across the water to go to the toilet. Now the doctor almost fainted: no way, go to a place where Jianghu experts are concentrated?

Doctoral students are also very anxious. There are walls on both sides of this pond. It takes more than ten minutes to go to the toilet opposite, and it's too far to go back to work. What should I do?

Doctoral students don't want to ask the two directors. After holding back for a long time, they got up and stepped into the water: I don't believe undergraduates can pass, but my doctoral students can't.

The doctor fell into the water with a bang.

Two directors pulled him out and asked him why he had to go into the water. He asked, "Why did you walk there?"

The two directors smiled at each other: "There are two rows of stakes in this pond. Because it rained these two days, the water just rose below the surface. We all know the location of the stake, so we can step on it. Why don't you ask? "

Education represents the past, and it is most important to exercise your ability in practice. Only through continuous study and practice can we adapt to the needs of work. Being complacent about past achievements and not striving for progress will eventually be eliminated by the times. If you want to make rapid progress in your work, on the one hand, you should keep learning, on the other hand, you should respect your own experience and learn from other old colleagues, so as to avoid detours. Similarly, a good team should also be a learning team. Only when the whole team members keep learning and making progress can this team form a strong fighting capacity.
