One, once a small country came to China to pay tribute to three identical gold people. The golden wall was brilliant and the emperor was 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. Second, Chen Atu is a farmer in Taiwan Province Province and has never traveled far. After saving money for half my life, I finally joined a tour group and went abroad. Everything abroad is very fresh. The key point is that Chen Atu joined a luxury group and lived in a standard room. This makes him novel. In the morning, when the waiter knocked on the door to deliver breakfast, he shouted, "Good morning, sir!" " Chen Atu froze. What does this mean? In my hometown, strangers usually ask, "What's your name?" So Chen Atu shouted, "My name is Chen Atu!" If so, for three days in a row, it was the waiter Chen Atu who knocked at the door and said "Good morning" loudly every day, and also replied loudly: "My name is Chen Atu!" But he was very angry. This waiter is so stupid that he asks his name every day and tells him that he can't remember. Very annoying. Finally, he couldn't help asking the tour guide, "Good morning, sir!" " What do you mean? The tour guide told him, oh, my God! ! That's a real pity. Chen Atu practiced saying "Good morning, sir!" This word allows you to deal with waiters with dignity. Another morning, the waiter knocked at the door as usual. As soon as the door opened, Chen Atu shouted, "Good morning, sir!" At the same time, the waiter shouted, "I'm Chen Atu!" This story tells us that interpersonal communication is often a contest between willpower and willpower. Either you influence him or he influences you. If we want to succeed, we must cultivate our own influence. Only those with great influence can become the strongest. 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 want to 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. We should choose to get in touch with the latest information and understand the latest trends, so as to create our own future better. Everyone who has been to the temple knows that as soon as he enters the temple gate, the first one is Amitabha, who welcomes guests with a smiling face, while 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 it. 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. (1) Roosevelt's story A little boy almost thought he was the most unfortunate child in the world. He was lame because of polio, and his teeth were jagged and protruding. He seldom plays games or plays with his classmates. When the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always kept his head down and said nothing. In an ordinary spring, the little boy's father asked his neighbor for some saplings. He wants to plant them in front of the house. He told his children to plant one each. Father told the children that whoever planted the best sapling would buy a favorite gift. The little boy also wants to get a gift from his father. However, when I saw my brother and sister skipping around watering the tree, I somehow came up with a cold idea: I hope the tree I planted will die soon. So after watering it once or twice, I never paid attention to it again. A few days later, when the little boy went to see the tree he planted again, he was surprised to find that it not only did not wither, but also grew a few new leaves, which looked greener and more lively than the trees planted by his brothers and sisters. Father fulfilled his promise, bought a favorite gift for the little boy, and told him that judging from the trees he planted, he would be an excellent botanist when he grew up. Since then, the little boy has gradually become optimistic. One night, the little boy lay in bed and couldn't sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly remembered what the biology teacher once said: plants usually grow at night, so why not go and see the little tree he planted? When he came to the yard softly, he saw his father throwing something under the tree he planted with a spoon. Suddenly, he understood everything. It turns out that his father has been secretly fertilizing the young trees he planted! He went back to his room and let his tears flow freely ... decades later, the lame boy did not become a botanist, but he became the president of the United States. His name is Franklin? 6? 1 Roosevelt. Love is the best nourishment in life, and a spoonful of water can also make the tree of life thrive. Maybe that tree is so ordinary and unremarkable; Perhaps the tree is so thin and even withered, but as long as it is watered with this nutrient, it can flourish and even grow into a towering tree. (2) Hawking's story scientist Hawking's learning ability seems to be not strong when he was a child. He learned to read very late. After school, he never got into the top 65,438+00 in his class. Moreover, because his homework is always "untidy", teachers all think he is "hopeless" and students all regard him as the object of ridicule. When Hawking 12 years old, two boys in the class took a bag of candy and bet that he would never succeed. The classmates ironically nicknamed him "Einstein". Who knows, after more than 20 years, the little boy who was not outstanding in those days really became a master of physics. What is the reason? As it turns out, with the growth of age, Hawking became interested in how everything works. He often takes things apart to get to the bottom of them, but when he reassembles them, there is nothing he can do. However, his parents didn't punish him for it, and his father even gave him a "coach" in math and physics. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, Hawking found himself very interested in the study of physics. Although middle school physics is too easy and simple, it is particularly boring, but he thinks it is the most basic science, which is expected to solve the problem of where people come from and why they are here. Since then, Hawking has started a real scientific exploration. (3) The Story of Song Lian liked reading when he was a child, but his family was very poor. I have no money to buy books, so I have to borrow them from others. Every time I borrow a book, he tells me the deadline, returns it on time and never breaks the contract. People are willing to lend them to him. Once, he borrowed a book, and the more he read it, the more he couldn't put it down, so he decided to copy it. But the deadline for returning the book is coming. He had to copy books overnight. It's the middle of winter and the twelfth month, dripping into ice. His mother said, "Son, it's midnight. It's cold. Copy it at dawn. People are not waiting for this book to read. " Song Lian said, "No matter how many people are waiting to read this book, they should return it before the deadline. This is a question of credit and a sign of respect for others. If you are dishonest in what you say and do, how can you get respect from others? "Once again, Song Lian is going to consult a famous person in the distance and set a meeting date. Who knew it would snow on the day of departure? When Song Lian picked up her luggage and was ready to go on the road, her mother said in surprise, "How can you travel far in this weather? "Besides, the teacher has closed the mountain with heavy snow. Your old cotton-padded jacket can't resist the cold in the mountains! " Song Lian said, "Mom, if you don't leave today, you will miss the start date and miss the appointment." To stand up is to disrespect the teacher. No matter how heavy the snow is, I will go. When Song Lian arrived at the teacher's home, the teacher was deeply praised and said, "Young people, who are trustworthy and eager to learn, will have a bright future. (4) Lin Shu studies hard and wants to be a great teacher. When Lin Shu was a child, his family was very poor, but he loved books as much as his life. He can't afford a book, so he has to borrow it from others and return it at the appointed time. He once painted a coffin on the wall, next to which was written "If you study, you will be born, if you don't study, you will die in the coffin", and used these eight words as a motto to encourage and spur yourself. This famous saying means that if you live, you have to study. If you don't study, you might as well die. When he gets up at five o'clock, he often studies hard at midnight. Every night, he sat in front of the bright oil lamp sewn by his mother, holding a book and studying tirelessly. He won't go to bed until he has finished reading a book. Due to his poor family and the fatigue of study, he suffered from lung disease when he was 18 years old, and he often coughed up blood for ten years in a row, but he still insisted on studying hard in bed. By the age of 22, he had read more than 2,000 volumes of ancient books, and by the age of 30, he had read more than 1000 volumes. The woodcutter of Chu lured the enemy.

In 700 BC. Outside the south gate of Jiaoguo Capital (now northwest of Yunxian County, Hubei Province).

Hunting flags at the door, sparkling halberds, rolling helmets and bright armor layers. When the Chu army comes to attack and attack the trapped country, it is likely that dark clouds will crush the city and destroy it.

However, the city wall is tall and strong, and the city head is heavily guarded, so it can't be broken at the moment. Chu Wuwang was helpless, so he called the civilian military commanders to discuss the siege strategy.

An official named Qu Xian said to the king of Chu, "I heard that the king of the stranded country has always acted rashly, lacked strategy and failed to listen to advice." In my opinion, this kind of fighting can only be outwitted, and hard attack is forbidden. "Qu mutiny so put his plan, burned Wang Daxi, and even let the soldiers do it as planned.

The next day, at first light, some soldiers of the Chu army took off their uniforms and went to the mountain outside the north gate to cut wood. The defenders in the city can see clearly and report to the king.

The king of Chu ordered, "Send someone to catch the woodcutter of Chu at once."

A Qing rode out of the north gate with lightning, came to the foot of the mountain and captured 30 Chu people alive.

On the third day, the king of Chu sent more woodcutters up the mountain to cut wood.

Qi Weiwang said: "This time, more soldiers will be sent to arrest me!"

A counselor knelt down and advised, "Your Majesty, I don't think we should act rashly."

The king drank it and asked, "Why?"

The counselor said, "Yesterday we easily caught thirty Chu people. Today they sent a woodcutter, but they didn't send troops to protect them. Will these loggers be bait for the enemy? "

The king said angrily, "What bait is not bait! People always eat and cook with firewood. They don't go up the mountain to cut wood. Do they chop off their own feet for firewood? As for their failure to send troops for protection, it is their fault. The enemy is heavily armed at the south gate, so we pretend that we are still heavily armed at the south gate and transfer our troops out of the north gate. A woodcutter who suddenly attacked the mountain, let them see what we can do! "

The counselor wanted to say something else, and the king waved him off and sent the flag to adjust the troops.

The defenders rushed out of the north gate and galloped down the hill. Suddenly, they heard the sound of golden drums and the sound of killing everywhere. The ambush in the mountain forest swarmed in, and a fierce battle scared the birds in the air, and the wolves ran wildly on the mountain. The ground troops struggled to break through in heavy encirclement and fell in a pool of blood one by one in a shout of killing.

After the soldiers of Chu were defeated by the garrison, Enemy at the Gates was attacked on both sides, and the garrison king had to sign a surrender treaty. Guan zhongchu's plan to buy deer

Guan Zhong managed the State of Qi very well, conquered many separatist vassal states, and helped Qi Huangong dominate the Central Plains. However, Chu did not obey the orders of Qi, and if Qi did not conquer Chu, China would still not be unified. So, how to conquer Chu?

At that time, several generals in the State of Qi wrote to Qi Huangong, demanding that they lead heavy troops to fight against Chu and deter Chu by force. However, the Prime Minister Guan Zhong shook his head again and again, saying, "Qi and Chu are at war, and it is evenly matched, which is enough for the first world war. First, we must use up the hard-earned grain and grass, and then the lives of thousands of people will become bones. "

The words left the generals speechless.

After Guan Zhong finished, he took the generals to see copper smelting. They don't know what tricks Guan Zhong has to conquer Chu.

One day, Guan Zhong sent more than 65,438+000 businessmen to the State of Chu to buy deer. At that time, deer was a rare animal, which only existed in Chu, but people only regarded deer as a general food animal, and two coppers could buy one. Businessmen sent by Guan Zhong threatened everywhere in Chu: "Qi Huangong is a good deer, and he will spare no expense."

Seeing that it was profitable, Chu merchants stepped up their acquisition of deer. At first, they bought three coppers, but ten days later, the price rose to five coppers.

King Chu Cheng and the ministers of Chu were very excited when they heard about it. They think that the prosperous Qi State will suffer, because in 10, the avant-garde adopted the good crane to kill the country, and the good deer in Qi Huangong also made the same mistake. They ate and drank in the palace, waiting for Qi to weaken and sit in the world. Guan Zhong raised the deer price to 40 copper coins.

The Chu people saw that the price of a deer was the same as that of several thousand kilograms of grain, so they put down their farm tools, made hunting gear and went to the mountains to catch deer. Even the officers and men of Chu stopped training, changed their weapons into hunting gear and sneaked up the mountain.

One year, there was a famine in Chu, but copper coins piled up into mountains.

Chu people want to buy food with copper coins, but there is nowhere to buy it. Guan Zhong decreed that the vassal states were prohibited from buying and selling grain with Chu.

As a result, Huang Ma, a soldier of Chu, lost his fighting capacity. Guan Zhong saw that the time had come, that is, he assembled an army of eight-route governors, and marched on Chu, which was likely to be swept away. Chucheng was trapped by internal affairs and diplomacy and was helpless. He sent ministers to make peace, agreed not to separate one side, not to bully small countries, and promised to accept Qi's orders. Guan Zhong subdued the powerful Chu State without moving a knife or killing a person.
