Once I saw the animal world, a large group of antelopes crossed the river collectively. At first, they were in a mess. The first sheep were scattered on the river bank, each looking for a way to cross the river. In the deep water, if you walk, the antelope will be gone. Gradually, the later antelopes concentrated on the shallow water "dock" Obviously, the experience of "pioneers" was seen and imitated by later generations. Later, the antelope did not see how the "pioneers" crossed the river, but just followed the crowd. However, although the shortcut was found, the antelope was killed because there were some big crocodiles hidden in that place. The early antelope was very alert when they saw the crocodile. They crossed the river at a faster speed, trying to avoid those giant mouths. Later, the antelope only saw the compatriots in front and did not know the existence of crocodiles, so its vigilance was not high. So the crocodile's sneak attack is often successful. Once I went to play in the mountains with my friends, and tourists were everywhere. When I went down the mountain, a narrow path appeared in front of me, like a shortcut that mountain people often take. Everyone was very happy and decided to go down the mountain as soon as possible along this road. In less than ten minutes, you can see the parking lot at the foot of the distant mountain. This is really a shortcut! Just when everyone was glad, a cliff appeared in front of them. The shortcut turned here and extended to a small mountain village in the distance. Everyone was at a loss, so they had to go to the mountain village first, and then set foot on another path halfway ... It took a lot of effort to reach their destination. The villagers know where every shortcut leads, and walking is the shortcut; And our mentality of pursuing a "shortcut" is a precursor to taking a detour from the beginning. Sometimes, it takes experience to take shortcuts. Just like an antelope, it only knows the shortcut to cross the river, but it doesn't know there are crocodiles there. At this time, "shortcuts" are more "curved" than detours. It is good to take more detours when people are young. Because detours give us the experience of taking shortcuts.

2. Ideal height

Mountains above 1000 meters above sea level are considered as high mountains in northern Zhejiang. People on the mountain go down to buy daily necessities, and it takes five hours to go back and forth. There are more than twenty children on the high mountain. They studied in shabby schools and lived a life almost unknown to Wei and Jin Dynasties. Teachers come from mountainous areas and study in big cities. He stayed at school for the first time and couldn't sleep all night. The wind on the mountain is too strong, and life on the mountain is too bitter. In the first class, the teacher saw several wet children. He asked, "Is there a water fight early in the morning?" Several children bowed their heads and dared not speak. A girl with pigtails pointed to the distant mountains outside the window and said, "They came from the deep mountains and were wet with dew on the weeds." The teacher looked out of the window, and a narrow path seemed to be looming in the mountains. The teacher asked, "How long do you need to walk?" A child said, "More than two hours." For the first time, teachers know the cost of a child's last school, which even adults can't afford. The teacher was very moved, but the teacher was also desperate. Because children's knowledge is inversely proportional to altitude, they know almost nothing about the world below. He asked these 20-odd children, what is their greatest ideal? The biggest and most respectable ideal belongs to the girl with pigtails. She said that she would become the village accountant. More children say that when they grow up, they should learn to carve their father's name on their own bamboo to prevent others from cutting it. Later, the teacher had a second-hand laptop, which enabled him to surf the Internet through the only telephone line in the village. Teaching is conducted in the village head's home, and there are more adults than students. He told the children about the outside world, KFC and McDonald's, video games and cherry pellets, and the wonderful world that can be connected by a computer. The girl with pigtails began to change her ideals. She said that she would go down to work as an accountant in the future. Another boy said that in the future, when you are an official like a township head, you can spend some money to build a road leading down the mountain. The teacher stayed on the mountain for a year and then left. He said he could only change the children so much. He hopes that future teachers will not shrink their children's ideals. He hopes that one day the girl says she wants to be a white-collar worker in a big company, and the boy says she wants to be a president. He said that these children may never walk out of the mountains, but they must be raised to the ideal height. This is the soul of education.

3. Love can be so open-minded.

The film Deep Blue World describes a group of Czech pilots who joined the British army after the German invasion. The hero who returned from many battles and robberies returned to his hometown and went to his fiancee's house. He saw his dog for the first time and hugged it. Then I saw my fiancee hanging clothes. The fiancee has become a young woman. When she saw him, she was shocked at first, then she hid her face and cried, saying that she had heard that he had died in the battlefield. The hero immediately understood, put on his backpack, turned around and walked out the door. There is a little girl sitting by the fence. When the hero's dog followed, the little girl shouted, "That's my dog." Stunned, the hero first asked the little girl's name, and then said to the dog, "Don't follow me, stay." The movie is over. The daughter sitting next to him asked, "why didn't he take the dog away?" He lost his fiancee and the dog is his. Why didn't he take it with him? " "He lost it himself. He didn't want the little girl to lose it." Looking at my daughter's ignorant face, I smiled: "One day you will understand that heaven and earth can be so vast and love can be so open-minded."

People like to lie on the phone.

Whether it is good or bad, people will lie all their lives, but under what circumstances are people more likely to lie? Recently, an American psychologist thinks that people are more likely to lie on the phone. Research shows that the percentage of people lying is 14% when sending emails, 2 1% when sending short messages, 27% when talking face to face, and the highest is 37% when talking on the phone. Psychologists believe that whether what is said will be recorded has a great influence on whether people lie. This may be the reason why people are less likely to lie when sending emails and text messages.

6. Broken chairs in front of the Palais des Nations

When I first came to Geneva, what impressed me the most was a chair-a wooden chair with a broken leg. This huge chair with a height of 12m has a chair back as high as two stories and a chair surface larger than a table tennis table. It was created by Daniel Bassett, a famous Swiss sculptor, on behalf of the International Disabled Persons' Federation in 1997 to commemorate the entry into force of the Landmine Protocol. It stands on the lawn in front of the gate of the Palais des Nations, the European headquarters of the United Nations, surrounded by international organizations: UNHCR, the International Red Cross and the World Trade Organization building ... Daniel, the "carpenter" who made this chair, said that about 26,000 people around the world are killed or injured by lightning every year, of which more than 1/3 are children. In Angola, Africa, the hardest hit area of mines, the total number of mines laid has reached the total population of the country, and about 20 thousand people have been amputated because of contact with mines. He said that the broken leg of the chair symbolizes the limbs lost by the explosion of mines. "The chair was chosen as the theme of the sculpture because it symbolizes peace and communication. In other words, I use a chair to compare a person-a person who was devastated by mines and resolutely stood up and called for help from the world. "

7. Liu skillfully put the money he earned back.

In the sixteenth year of Qianlong, Liu Yong, the champion of Zhucheng, Shandong Province, invited his old friend Jiang to Jinan to take the exam and live in an ancient temple under Qianfo Mountain in the southern suburbs of Jinan. They traveled with 60 taels of silver, and there were many pilgrims in the ancient temple. Jiang felt unsafe, so he buried the silver under a hill. Two days later, Jiang went to inspect and found that the money had been poached! When Liu learned of the situation, he went to Gu Matsushita and looked around. Not far away, he saw a Taoist temple with a window facing the place where the silver was buried. Liu immediately realized that it was people in this Taoist temple who happened to see Jiang burying money and then dug it away. When Liu entered the Taoist temple, he met the thin Taoist priest in the Taoist temple and asked, "I'm an elevator from other places." I have two bags of silver on me, a small bag of sixty taels and a big bag of eighty taels. " I have quietly buried the bag of 60 taels of silver in an unknown place, and now the bag of 80 taels of silver is still with me. Please ask the Taoist, should I entrust others to keep my big silver bag, or should I continue to bury it safely? "Thin monk deliberately asked," there is nothing wrong with the money you originally buried? Liu said, "I haven't visited it yet, but I believe it will be foolproof." The thin Taoist priest said, "In this case, it is safer to bury your bag of silver where you hid the small bag of silver." "Thank you for your advice. When Liu Yi left, the greedy and thin Taoist immediately took out the stolen sixty taels of silver and hurried to the old tree to bury it in its original place. Liu, a thin Taoist priest hiding behind the rock, went far away and immediately went forward to dig up the silver.

8. The difference between life and death

A soldier saw his good friend fall on the battlefield. He was in the trenches, and bullets roared overhead. He asked the lieutenant to let him go to the "no man's land" outside the trench to save his fallen comrades. "You can go," the lieutenant said, "but I don't think it's worth it. Most of your friends are dead, and even you may lose your life! " The lieutenant's suggestion was useless, but the soldier went anyway. The soldier miraculously found his comrade-in-arms and carried him on his shoulders. On the way back, the soldier was also shot, and they fell into the trench together. The lieutenant examined the soldier's injury and said regretfully, "I told you, it's not worth it." Your comrade-in-arms died, and you were fatally wounded. I'm afraid you won't live long. ""it's worth it, sir. " "What, is it worth it? But your comrade-in-arms is dead! The soldier replied, "Sir, he died, but what I did was worthwhile, because he was still alive when I ran to him. I heard him say,' Jim, I knew you would come!'" " "

9. "Datong" and "Well-off"

Li Yun divides the progress of human society into two stages, Datong and Xiaokang, and the time is divided into early summer. Before the summer, it belonged to the era of Datong, and politics was "selecting talents and appointing talents, keeping promises and understanding"; Social "people are not only relatives, but also sons and sons;" Make the old have an end, be strong and useful, be young and strong, and be widowed and disabled; Men have jobs (points) and women have (marriage) returns "; Economic "wealth is evil, abandoned in the ground, do not have to hide it for yourself." "Such a society, there is no fraud, no thieves, and you don't have to lock the door when you go out, which is the so-called' Datong' society. In his later years, Yu Xia chose Hao Tao (the leader of Dongyi tribe, famous for his integrity) as his successor. Due to his early death, Boyi (the minister who helped Yu manage water) succeeded to the throne. After his death, in order to thank Dayu for his kindness, people pinned their hopes on his son Qi, who became the first hereditary monarch in the history of China. The practice of Datong social power to pass on sages instead of descendants has been broken. The "public world" has become a "home world", the necessary conditions for political leaders have changed from virtue and talent to bloodline, and the affairs and services of managers have become enjoyment. From then on, the world is private, private is greedy, and greed is contending, so they conspire to cheat and become tense. In the struggle, some people who can keep rites and maintain order are "sages", such as Shang Tang, Zhou Wenwang, Zhou Wuwang, Zhou Chengwang and Duke Zhou. They establish disciplines, establish systems, determine grades, examine honesty, take benevolence as an example, stress humility, and show people the normal way to be a man. If you don't do this, even if you are no better, you will be ousted, and everyone will regard him as a scourge. The era when sages were in power was called "well-off society".

10, gorgeous ice cubes

In the sixties and seventies of last century, ice cream was fiercely competitive in the Japanese market. However, in a few short years, the little-known Yin Xue Company defeated Morinaga and other big companies, occupied most of the Japanese ice cream market and became a world-famous dairy company. At first, Yin Xue Company decided to compete with big companies by increasing the fat content of milk, which is a way to increase costs. However, after the product enters the market, consumers don't buy it, because some consumers will feel thirsty after eating this high-fat ice cream. In order to solve this problem, Yin Xue Company put into experiments and finally found a solution: adding ice cubes to ice cream. But consumers also think that adding ice cubes to ice cream is an opportunity to increase the price of ice cubes. In the face of another failure of production decision, Yin Xue Company did not fall into despair, but always kept calm rationality and conducted calm analysis and research. Finally, they think that consumers think that the price of ice cubes is high only because ice cubes are too common. If the shape and color of ice cubes are changed, it will inevitably change consumers' views. So Yin Xue Company made hydrogen ice cubes into various shapes, and then added various gorgeous colors. As soon as the products are on the market, they are welcomed by consumers because of their novelty, beauty and warmth.
