The Tragedy of Life One day, I saw an old farmer tying a big buffalo to a small stake in the country. I walked up to him and said, "Uncle, it will run away." The old farmer smiled and said firmly, "It won't run away. This has always been the case. " I was a little confused and couldn't help asking, "Why not?" For such a small share, wouldn't it be * * for a cow to use a little force? At this time, the old farmer approached me and lowered his voice (as if afraid of being heard by the cow): "Young man, I tell you that this cow was tied to this stake when it was a calf. At first, it was not so honest. Sometimes it would go crazy and try to break free from the stake. However, at that time, it was weak and still turned around for a while. It fades when you have nothing to do. "I feed it with forage and deliberately let it out of my neck. I think it will break free from the stake and eat grass. However, it didn't, just called twice and stood there staring at the forage. Do you find it interesting? " I had an epiphany. It turned out that it was not the small wooden stake that bound the cow, but the spiritual shackles it set inertia. So is life. Some people always run their lives as a fixed mindset, and the result is that they can't get out of the prison they set for themselves and have no chance to succeed in their lives. Think about it, in this world, besides yourself, who can set you free? At a meeting, I met a promising young entrepreneur, Li Sheng. I heard the legend of Li Sheng's entrepreneurship, so I asked him what his entrepreneurial secret was. He told me a story. Five years ago, Li Sheng was still working in a Taiwan-funded enterprise. Their boss is not only a big entrepreneur who owns many companies in many countries, but also a professor and a scholar businessman with good economic mind. He has also made great academic achievements. Li Sheng entered his company for this reason. Because of Li Sheng's diligence and willingness to think, the boss quickly promoted him to the department manager, who was responsible for the sales of furniture. He has never done anything wrong. Once, the company bought a set of furniture with a price tag of 200,000. But I don't know why, after four months, no one asked about the price. Finally, one day, a man I've always wanted to hold down asked Li Sheng if he wanted to sell the furniture for180,000 yuan. Li Sheng also wanted to sell furniture, but the boss only gave him the floating right of 1 10,000 yuan. Unfortunately, customers are also very stubborn, saying that180,000 won't buy it. After a long stalemate, Li Sheng wanted to call the boss for instructions, but the boss went abroad on business, and his cell phone was turned off, so he dared not make decisions without authorization. Two days later, the business failed. You should know my psychology. Since no one wants it for four months, it means that there is nothing to buy this furniture. The sooner you sell it, the better. Don't say180,000, just170,000. Otherwise, I'm afraid no one will even want160,000 next time. Li Sheng bowed his head with some injustice, thinking, I have so much courage. When the boss saw him, he smiled generously and said forget it, first. Li Sheng started the car, and there was some fog in the air. There are many cars on the road, and he walks slowly. After more than ten minutes, the fog is getting bigger and bigger, and the road conditions are not clear. The boss was not worried, but let him crawl slowly in the traffic and said this to him. He asked Li Sheng, how can you drive safely in such foggy weather? Li Sheng said that as long as you follow the taillight of the car in front, you will be fine. The boss was silent for a while and suddenly asked, if you are the first car, whose tail light should you follow? Li Sheng was shocked when he heard this. Yes, if he is the first car, who will show him the way? The boss suddenly understood the meaning: in general, you can rely on the boss to make decisions for you, so you don't have to share the responsibility. But under special circumstances, you should see the road ahead clearly with your own eyes, analyze the pros and cons with your own mind, and choose your own direction. Who can Bill Gates follow? People who only follow other people's taillights will never take the lead. Since then, Li Sheng has worked better. Soon, he discovered a new field of entrepreneurship that others had not explored. Through his own struggle and keen business sense, he soon succeeded. His secret of starting a business is only one sentence: to be the taillight of others. The two stories of "Life Tragedy" and "Being the Taillight of Others" are related. If you watch it together, the effect will be better. A man with thoughts and pursuits must keep his freedom of thought, and he cannot hold an attitude of worship or take it as his creed (including the thoughts of any "great man" at all times and all over the world). What we have to do is to think, understand and judge rationally, know why, absorb nutrition from it and discard its dross. Only in this way can we achieve continuous self-transcendence. Otherwise, we will draw a solid foundation. Stay still. (1) Once, an old robber took his apprentice to rob a bank and was chased by the police. They ran away like crazy and almost took their pants with them. Finally, they got rid of the police, out of breath and collapsed on the ground. After a long time, the apprentice said, "Master, if there were no police in this world, it would be great!" " Master scolded 1, "bullshit! If there were no police, would we still have food? ! "The apprentice is very confused. The master said earnestly, "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other! Think about it, if there were no police, would everyone dare to steal and rob? It is precisely because of these policemen that we have blocked those capable people and have a living space! What are we compared with them? What skills do you have? Don't we make a living by motivating thieves to do things they dare not do? Police! We're here! Where can I live a good life without the police? " You see the scenery of successful people, but you only see one side, but not the other. You "only saw the thief eating meat, but didn't see the thief being beaten", and you didn't see the sweat, tears and even blood they shed for success! Even if you see a thief being beaten, you are only willing to be a thief who only eats meat and doesn't get beaten. We can learn from the experience of the old robber above. With a little courage and self-confidence, it is enough to break through the physical and psychological barriers. (From "You are a Million Soldiers" (2) Two cannibals went to work in a company, and the boss said, "If you eat people in the company, you will be fired immediately!" After three months, everyone lived in peace. Suddenly one day, the boss called the two men to the office and scolded them: "TMD, I told you not to eat people, but you still have to eat." You don't have to come to work tomorrow! " Two cannibals packed their things and left. When they went out, one couldn't help cursing the other: "How many times have I told you not to eat working people? For three months, we ate a department manager every day and nothing happened. You ate detergent yesterday, and today they found it! " (3) Tom the dog looked for a job everywhere and was busy for many days, but found nothing. He complained to his mother sadly, "I'm such a useless waste that no company will accept me." My mother asked strangely, "Where are bees, spiders, larks and cats?" Tom said, "Bees become stewardesses, spiders engage in internet, larks graduate from conservatory of music, so they become singers, and cats graduate from police academy, so they become security guards.". Unlike them, I have no experience and diploma in higher education. " Mother continued to ask, "What about horses, sheep, cows and chickens?" Tom said, "Horses can pull carts, wool is the raw material for textiles and clothing, cows can produce milk, and hens can lay eggs. Unlike them, I have no ability. " Mother thought for a moment and said, "You are not a horse pulling chariots or a chicken laying eggs, but you are not a waste. You are a loyal dog. Although you don't have any advanced education, you don't have any skills. A sincere heart is enough to make up for all your defects. Mark my words, son, no matter how many hardships you go through, cherish your golden heart and let it shine. " Tom listened to his mother's words and nodded hard. After all the hardships, Tom not only found a job, but also became the manager of the administrative department. Not convinced, the parrot went to the boss and said, "Tom is neither a graduate of a famous university nor understands." The boss calmly replied, "It's very simple, because he is a loyal dog." (4) Anyone who has been to the temple knows that Maitreya was the first to greet guests with a smiling face, and on his back, it was Darkmouth's black-faced Wei Tuo. But it is said that long ago, they were not in the same temple, but in charge of different temples. Maitreya is warm and happy, so many people came. So I still can't make ends meet. Although Wei Tuo is a cook in charge of accounts, he is depressed all day, which makes fewer and fewer people. Finally, the fragrance is broken. Buddha found this problem when he was looking for incense, so he put them both in the same temple. Maitreya was in charge of public relations and smiled at all the guests, so the incense flourished. Wei Tuo is selfless, pearls are better than pearls. There is a thriving scene in the temple. In fact, in the eyes of the master of employment, there are no useless people, just like the master of martial arts, who can pick flowers and fly leaves to hurt people without expensive swords. The key is how to use them. (5) Once a small country came to China to pay tribute to three identical gold people, and the emperor was very happy. But this small country is not kind, and it also raises a question: 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 should I do? The messenger is still waiting for a return. A great country doesn't even understand this little thing, does it? Finally, a retired veteran said he had an idea. The emperor invited the emissary to the hall. The veteran 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 of his mouth directly, while the straw of the third gold man fell into his stomach without a sound. The old minister said: the third gold man is the most valuable! The messenger is silent and the answer is 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 to listen more and talk less. Being good at listening is the most basic quality of a mature person. (6) Father and son live in the mountains, and they have to drive ox carts down the mountain to sell firewood every day. My father is more experienced and drives in town. The mountain road is rugged and there are many bends, son. Once my father didn't go down the mountain because of illness, and my son drove alone. When he came to the corner, the cow refused to turn around. The son tried every means to get off the bus, push and pull, lure with grass, and the cow did not move. What happened? The son is puzzled. In the end, there is only one way. He looked around. No one was there. He approached the cow's ear and shouted, "Dad, turn!" " The cow responded. 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, he will naturally live well. A crow sat in a tree and did nothing all day. A rabbit saw the crow and asked, "Can I sit there doing nothing all day like you?" The crow replied, "Of course, why not?" So the rabbit sat under the tree and began to rest. Suddenly, a fox appeared. The fox jumped on the rabbit ... and ate it. The moral of this story is ... if you want to sit there and do nothing, you must sit very high. A bird is flying south for the winter. It's too cold. The bird froze and fell from the sky. It lay there, warm and happy, and soon began to sing happily. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to find out. Following the sound, the cat found the bird hidden in the cow dung, quickly dug it out and ate it! The moral of this story is ... 1) Not everyone who poops on you is your enemy. 2) Not everyone who pulls you out of the shit pile is your friend. 3) Besides, when you are in trouble, shut the fuck up! (9) In the past, seven people lived together and shared a big bucket of porridge every day. Unfortunately, porridge is not enough every day. At first, they drew lots to decide who would share the porridge. They drew a round every day. So every week, they only eat one day, that is, the day when they share their porridge. Later, they began to elect a noble person to share the porridge. Power will lead to corruption, and everyone will try their best to please. Noble people are also corrupt. Then everyone began to form a three-person porridge Committee and a four-person selection Committee, but they often attacked each other and wrangled, and the porridge was cold in their mouths. Finally, they came up with a square * *: * * to divide the porridge, but the people who divide the porridge have to wait for someone else to get the last bowl. In order not to eat the least, everyone tries to distribute it equally, even if it is uneven, they can only recognize it. As time goes on, the better. There are seven people with different distribution systems, so if a unit has bad work habits, it must be a mechanism problem. Certainly it is not completely fair, just and open, and there is no strict reward for diligence and punishment for laziness. How to formulate such a system is a problem that every leader needs to consider. (10) During the Warring States Period, Wei Huiwang wanted to send troops to attack Qi because Qi Weiwang violated the Covenant. Wang Wei said, "Yes," Depp said, "Snails have two tentacles. There is a country in the left corner called Tush; The corner on the right is a country called people. In order to compete for territory, the two countries went to war and buried tens of thousands of bodies. The winner chased for ten days and five days before withdrawing troops and returning to camp. " Wang Wei smiled disapprovingly and said, "Isn't this all fake?" Dai Jin said, "It's not a lie. If you don't believe me, I'll show you: in the king's view, is there no end in all directions? " Wang Wei said: "There is no end." Dai Jin asked again: "After cruising in the endless universe, the human heart returns to the world. Can it be said that the world is so small that it seems to be nothing? " Wang Wei said, "Yes." The Daijin people then asked, "Since the world is small, it is dispensable, and Wei is only small, the capital is small, and the king is small. So, compared with the endless universe, what is the difference with the king of the country who lives in the right corner?" Wang Wei said: "There is no difference." The man who put it in is gone. Wang Wei seems to have been introduced into an infinite space. He can't see the world, let alone Wei. He realized the smallness of the world and territory, the boredom of expanding the territory and the futility of winning by making friends. So he praised Dai Jin as an "adult" and thought that he had such a vision, far exceeding that of a saint. All the gains and losses in the workplace are negligible. No one will regret not spending more time in the office after death. The pursuit of happiness, peace and happiness is the most important thing in life. This article is from: Script House (jb5 1).
