I recently read a book called Short Stories and Great Truth. There are many short and pithy stories in this book. The truth expounded is simple and practical, but it is equally important to guide our lives.
After reading hundreds of classic short stories, I feel that the story "Important mantissa" and the truth inside impressed me the most.
This story is about a young man applying for a job in a company. In the last round of interview, the host gave a test question: suppose the company sent you to buy 2000 pencils, how much money would you bring? The answer of the first candidate is $ 120. He explained that it might cost $65,438+000 to buy 2,000 pencils, and $20 for other miscellaneous items. The answer of the second candidate is $ 1 10. He explained that 2000 pencils cost $65,438+000 and another $65,438+00. Finally, it's the young people's turn. His answer sheet is $ 1 13.86. The host was surprised and asked the candidates to explain. The young man said, "Pencils cost 5 cents each, and 2000 pencils cost 100 dollars. From the company to this factory, the round-trip fare by car is $4.8; Lunch fee is $2; It's half a mile from the factory to the bus station, so the porter's cost is $65,438 +0.5 ... so the total cost is $ 1 13.86. "
Finally, the young man was hired. This man was later known as Carnegie.
When I finished reading it, I found that the truth contained in this story is exactly what I need now: I should take everything seriously with a rigorous style. When doing math problems at ordinary times, one place is often overlooked, which makes the whole problem completely wrong. This is the consequence of not being serious about everything. I am determined to treat everything seriously and rigorously in the future, instead of dealing with the past "roughly" or "almost". Even a small matter may affect your life's fate because of your negligence.
During the summer vacation, my parents accompanied me to read a book called Short Story and Truth (primary school edition). I learned a lot by reading short stories and the truth. The first volume has 22 chapters: talking about creation, sharing, modesty, courage and wisdom, talking about life, cooperation, self-confidence, care, mentality, affection, friendship and affection.
In "Talking about Courage", I learned that "nothing is difficult for a willing mind. Courage is an important weapon for our success. Stepping on the ladder of courage, everyone can reach the other side of success. "
When talking about self-confidence, I understand that everyone is unique, and everyone is unique and irreplaceable. Confidence makes us more beautiful. Even a tiny dust will shine brightly under the watering of the spring of self-confidence.
Chapter 22 "Talking about setbacks" impressed me the most. This makes me understand that life cannot be smooth sailing. The sky is clear above the dark clouds, and the sun is always behind the storm. Only those who are brave enough to be baptized by the storm can see the rainbow after the rain. I will certainly encounter some setbacks in my future study and life, but I will overcome it with confidence and courage.
There are many reasons in this book. Through reading, I not only learned a lot of knowledge, but also cultivated my reading ability. I will read some knowledgeable books in the future.
Books are the ladder of human progress, spiritual food and lifelong companions. They are classics that I must read all my life, and they are my mentors and friends in wonderful chapters.
I am a teenager now, and I only know a little about many things. The schoolbag "Little Story and Great Truth" contains profound truth and philosophy of life, which makes my understanding of the world increase by a hundredfold, thus triggering the strengthening of my knowledge in three aspects.
Confidence is half the battle. Self-confidence does not necessarily lead to success, but failure without self-confidence. Self-confidence is the source of success. Before you do anything, you must have a confident and relaxed attitude. If you are not confident, you will be nervous, and you will be nervous. Naturally, you can't do "good things". If you are confident, you can get twice the result with half the effort and finish it easily.
Time is like life: an inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time. The past time can't come back. Once spring is over, it will come again next year, but next year's spring will never replace this year's spring. Because once time passes, it will never come back, so we should learn to create infinite miracles with limited time and turn the impossible into something that can be proved to be done. Make life colorful.
Practice is very important in life. No matter how great and famous a person is, he or she sometimes makes mistakes in his or her speech. For example, Aristotle in ancient times said that a kilo of shot put and a kilo of shot put fell at the same height at the same time, and a kilo of shot put landed first. Galileo didn't prove his words wrong through practice. It should be two balls landing at the same time. Practice can change wrong understanding.
The book Story and Truth is really good. It combines what modern children lack to explain what children should learn. It is an indispensable good book.
