This is a true story that happened in the UK.

There was a lonely old man, with no children, and weak and sickly. He decided to move to a nursing home. The old man announced the sale of his beautiful house. The buyers flocked to him. The house had a minimum price of 80,000 pounds, but people quickly hyped it up to 100,000 pounds. The price continued to rise. The old man was deeply trapped in the sofa and looked melancholy. Yes, if it weren't for the health, he wouldn't have sold the house that had spent most of his life with him.

A simple-dressed young man came to the old man, bent down, and whispered: 'Sir, I want to buy this house, but I only have £10,000. But if you sell it to me, I promise you will still live here, drink tea, read newspapers, take a walk with me, and be happy every day - believe me, I will take care of you with my whole heart!'

The old man nodded and smiled, and sold the house to him for 10,000 pounds. To fulfill his dream, he doesn't have to fight and cheat coldly. Sometimes, as long as you have a heart of love.

Comment: I didn’t understand, what is the main story about? The transaction of love?

Sixteen, give

An old carpenter was about to retire. He told the boss that he would leave the construction industry and go home to enjoy family happiness with his wife and children. The boss couldn't bear to leave his good worker and asked him if he could help build another house. The old carpenter said it was OK. But everyone could see later that his heart was no longer on work. He used soft materials and made rough work. When the house was built, the boss handed him the key to the door.

‘This is your house,’ he said, ‘I’ll give you a gift.’

He was stunned and ashamed. If he had known that he was building a house for himself, how could he be like this? Now he had to live in a shoddy house! Isn't we the same? We carelessly "build our own life, not to act positively, but to deal with it passively, and refuse to excel in everything, and cannot do our best at critical moments. When we realize our situation, we have long been trapped in the "house" we built. Think of you as that carpenter, think of your house, every day you knock a nail in, add a board, or erect a wall, and build it with your wisdom! Your life is the only creation in your life, and it cannot be smoothed out and rebuilt. Even if we only have one day to live, we must live beautifully and noble. The nameplate on the wall says: "Life is created by oneself."

Comment: Alas, be kind to be honest. Both the carpenter and his boss are unkind (the idea of ​​honest people).

Seventeen, remind yourself

An old lady was sitting on the side of the road looking at a high wall not far away. She always felt that it would collapse soon. When she saw someone walking towards me, she kindly reminded her: 'The wall is about to fall, let's go away.' The person who was reminded looked at her walking along the base of the wall in confusion - the wall did not fall. The old lady was very angry: 'Why don't you listen to me?' Someone came again, and the old lady advised me again. Three days passed, and many people walked over by the wall without encountering danger. On the fourth day, the old lady felt a little strange and disappointed, and couldn't help but walk under the base of the wall to take a closer look. However, at this moment, the wall fell down and the old lady was buried in dust and bricks and died of anger.

It is often easy and very sober when reminding others, but it is difficult to remind yourself at all times. Therefore, many dangers come from yourself, and the old lady's sorrow arises.

Comment: There is a saying that, "most people who drown are good at swimming." Knowing the law violates the law and the law cannot tolerate it.

Eighteen, window

There was a wife who kept complaining about the laziness on the other side for many years, "That woman's clothes can never be washed clean. Look, the clothes she hung in the outer yard always have spots. I really don't know why she even washed clothes like that."

Until one day, a friend who was keen on her house came to her house and found that it was not the wife's clothes opposite her that were not clean. The careful friend took a rag and wiped off the gray stains on the wife's window, saying, "Look, isn't this clean?" It turned out that the window of her home was dirty.

Comment: Are the clothes dirty? Or are the windows dirty? I hope I don’t have a heart.

Nineteen, Habits and Nature

Isn't it ridiculous to have a small pillar and a thin chain tied an elephant weighing a thousand pounds? But this absurd scene can be seen everywhere in India and Qin. When elephant taming people were or small elephants, they tied it to cement or steel columns with an iron chain. No matter how the baby elephant struggled, they could not break free. The baby elephant gradually got used to not struggling until they grew into an elephant and could easily break free from the chain.

The tiger trainer was as successful as the elephant taming man. He asked the tiger to eat vegetarian food from childhood until the tiger grew up. The tiger did not know the taste of meat, so it would not hurt people. The fatal mistake of the tiger trainer was that after he fell and fucked him, the tiger licked the blood flowing on the ground. The tiger licked it and finally ate the tiger trainer.

The baby elephant is tied up by a chain, while the elephant is tied up by a habit.

Tigers were once tied up by habits, while tiger trainers died from habits (he was already used to his tigers not eating people).

Habits can almost tie everything, but they can't tie it by chance. For example, the tiger that accidentally tasted blood.

Comment: So you must seize the chance and release yourself tied by habits, like a tiger returning to the mountain and a dragon entering the sea. However, habits are good and bad. You should not be too indulgent and be careful to anger Zhou Chu.

Twenty, leave a gap for others

A famous entrepreneur was giving a report, and an audience member asked: "You have achieved great success in your career. What is the most important thing for you?"

The entrepreneur did not answer directly. He picked up the chalk and drew a circle on the blackboard, but it did not draw perfectly, leaving a gap. He asked back: 'What is this?''zero'.''Circle'/'unfinished career'/'success', the audience answered in a lingering manner.

He did not agree to these answers: ‘In fact, this is just an unfinished end. You ask me why I achieved brilliant achievements. The reason is very simple: I will not do things well, just like drawing an end. You must leave a gap and let my subordinates fill it.’

Leaving a gap for others does not mean that one’s ability is not strong. In fact, this is a kind of management wisdom, a kind of global perfection at a higher level. Give a monkey a tree to keep climbing; give a tiger a mountain to keep surrounding it. Perhaps, this is the highest level of enterprise management and employment.

Comment: What a great entrepreneur who is very fond of merit, wouldn’t it be more modest to draw a dotted circle?

Twenty-one, horse

The horse was originally free to roam in the mountains, drinking some mountain springs when thirsty, and sleeping on the ground to bask in the sun when tired, and worry-free. But since the existence of Bole, the fate of the horse has changed. Put a bridle on its head, put a saddle on its back, and tied it. The mortality rate of the horse is already two or three. Then, it is forced to transport things, forcing it to travel thousands of miles a day, and nail the iron palm to its feet. The mortality rate of the horse is over half. The horse is originally a useless animal without rules and useless animals. It allows it to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth, useless and useless, and can enjoy the whole life, educate it, let it understand etiquette and law, which will harm its life.

Isn’t this the same thing for human beings? Under the constraints of rules, do we also lose our voluntary id, follow the etiquette and morals set by others all day long, and force ourselves to do things we don’t want to do, how much is left in our limited life?

Comment: Lao Tzu's thoughts are the root and the essence is the stem. Reality is like branches on the trunk. Sometimes they will get further and further away from the trunk, but they can never leave the trunk.

Twenty-two, the director is useless

There was a Lu man who was good at weaving straw sandals, and his wife was good at weaving white silk. He wanted to move to Yue Kingdom. A friend said to him: "If you go to Yue Kingdom, you will definitely be poor." Why? "Straw sandals are used to walk, but Yue Kingdom is used to walk barefoot; white silk is used to be used as hats, but Yue Kingdom is used to disheveling hair. With your strengths, you can go to places where you cannot use it. In this way, you will not be poor. Is it possible? "

This story tells people: If a person wants to exert his expertise, he must be suitable for the needs of the social environment. If he is separated from the needs of the social environment, his expertise will lose value. Therefore, we must decide our actions based on the needs of the society and better use our expertise.

Comment: Human society determines everything by the laws of value.

Twenty-three, rats on the pagoda

A mouse wandering around sets up a home on the top of the pagoda. Life in the pagoda is so happy. It can travel between the layers at will and enjoy rich offerings. It even enjoys privileges that others cannot imagine. It can chew on those unknown secrets at will; it can relax in the Buddha statue that people dare not face, and when it rises, it can even leave some excrement on the head of the Buddha statue.

Whenever the good men and women burn incense and kowtow, the mouse always looks at the intoxicating smoke and slowly rises. It sucks its nose hard and smiles in its heart: "The ridiculous human knees are so soft, and they kneel down when they say kneel!"

One day, a very hungry wild cat broke in and grabbed the mouse. 'You can't eat me! You should kneel down to me! I represent the Buddha!' This noble prisoner protested. 'People bowed to you just because you occupy the position, not because of you!' The wild cat sarcastically said, and then it broke the mouse in half like a hamburger.

Comment: When a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason but only facts.

Twenty-four, the story of the steel glass cup

A farmer, who only studied in junior high school for two years, had no money to continue to support him in school. He dropped out of school and went home to help his father cultivate three acres of thin fields. When he was 19 years old, his father passed away and the burden of the family was all on his shoulders. He had to take care of his mother in poor health and a grandmother who was paralyzed in bed.

In the 1980s, farmland was contracted to households. He dug a puddle into a pond and wanted to raise fish. But the cadres in the village told him that the paddy fields could not raise fish, but could only grow crops, so he had to fill the pond. This matter became a joke. In the eyes of others, he was a very stupid person who wanted to make money. He heard that raising chickens could make money, so he borrowed 500 yuan from his relatives and raised chickens. However, after a flood, the chickens suffered from chicken plague and died in a few days. 500 yuan may not be anything to others, but for a family that only relies on three acres of thin fields.

Words are nothing like astronomical figures. His mother died of depression when she couldn't get the stimulation. He later brewed wine, caught fish, and even helped people with gun holes on the cliffs of the stone mine, but she didn't make any money. At the age of 35, he had not married a wife yet. Even divorced women with children looked down on him. Because he only had a dirt house, it could collapse after a heavy rain at any time. No one could respect men who could not marry their wives in the countryside. But he wanted to take a try, so he borrowed money to buy a tractor. Unexpectedly, less than half a month on the road, the tractor carried him into a river. He broke one leg and became a cripple. The tractor was caught and broken, and he could only dismantle it and sold it as scrap iron.

Almost everyone said that his life was over.

But later he became the boss of a company in the city where I live, with 200 million yuan in assets. Now, many people know his miserable past and legendary entrepreneurial experience. Many media interviewed him, and many reportages described him. But I only remember this plot:

The reporter asked him: "Why do you not retreat again and again during the miserable days?"

He sat behind the large and luxurious boss's desk and drank a glass of water in his hand. Then, he held the glass cup in his hand and asked the reporter: "What will happen to this cup if I let go?"

The reporter said: 'It fell to the ground and it broke.'

‘Then let’s try it.’ He said.

When he loosened his hand, the cup fell to the ground and made a crisp sound, but it was not broken, but was intact. He said: "Even if there were 10 people present, they would think that the cup would definitely be broken. However, this cup was not an ordinary glass cup, but made of fiberglass.'

So, I remember this classic and wonderful dialogue. Such a person, even if he only breathes, will try to hold the hand of success unless God deprives him of life.

Comment: Yes, this is the spirit of life.

Twenty-five, chance

A is a white-collar worker in a joint venture and feels that his ambitions are not appreciated by his superiors. He often thinks: If one day I can meet the boss and have the opportunity to show off my talents!!

A's colleague B also had the same idea. He went further and asked about the boss's time to get off work, and calculated when he would enter the elevator. He also took the elevator at this time, hoping to meet the boss and say hello if he had the chance.

Their colleague C went further. He learned about the boss's struggle in detail, figured out the school, interpersonal style, and concerns of the boss's concern, and carefully designed a few simple but substantial opening remarks. After taking the elevator at a good time and greeting the boss several times, he finally had a long talk with the boss one day, and soon he won a better position.

Fools miss opportunities, wise men are good at seizing opportunities, and successful people create opportunities. Opportunities are only for those who are prepared. The word "preparation" is not just for those who are prepared.

Comment: Just perfect yourself and create opportunities.

Twenty-six, Madman and Idiot

A psychology professor visited the madman's asylum to learn about the life of the madman. After a day, he felt that these people were crazy and acted unexpectedly, which was eye-opening.

Unexpectedly, when I was about to return, I found that my tire had been removed. ‘It must have been done by some lunatic!’ The professor thought angrily, and took the spare tire and prepared it to install it.

The matter is serious. The person who got off the tire actually dropped the screws. He couldn't get up without screws and spare tires!

The professor was at a loss. When he was extremely anxious, a madman came over jumping over, singing unknown joyful songs. He found the professor in trouble and stopped to ask what had happened.

The professor was too lazy to pay attention to him, but he told him out of politeness.

The madman laughed and said, "I have a way!" He put a screw on each tire, so he got three screws and installed the spare tire.

The professor was surprised and grateful, but was very curious: ‘How did you think of this method?’

The madman laughed and said, "I am a madman, but I am not a fool!"

In fact, there are many people in the world who always show different fanaticism from ordinary people because they discover the joy of work, which is difficult to understand. Many people are laughing at them as crazy people when they are laughing at them.

Being stupid and being smart is especially a good attitude in China.

Comment: Madman and genius are always one step away.

Twenty-seven, Ph.D.

A doctorate was assigned to a research institute and became the person with the highest education.

One day he went fishing at the small pond behind the unit, and the director and deputy director were fishing on his left and right. He just nodded slightly. What are the two undergraduates who have to talk about?

After a while, the director put down his fishing rod, stretched his waist, and walked from the water like an enclave to the opposite toilet.

The doctor's eyes were almost falling. The water floated? No, right? This is a pond.

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

What's going on? Doctoral students are not easy to ask, where are they a doctoral student?

After a while, the deputy director also stood up, took a few steps, and drifted across the water to go to the toilet. The doctor almost fainted: No, I have arrived at a place where experts from the martial arts world gather?

The doctoral student was also anxious. There were walls on both sides of the pond, so it was necessary to go around ten minutes to the toilet opposite. But it was too far back to the unit. What should I do?

The doctoral students were unwilling to ask the two directors. After holding it in for a long time, they also got up and walked into the water: I don’t believe that undergraduates can pass the water, and I cannot pass the doctoral students.

With a thud, the doctoral student fell into the water.

The two directors pulled him out and asked him why he wanted to go into the water. He asked: "Why can you walk over?"

The two directors looked at each other and smiled: "There are two rows of wooden stakes in this pond. Because it has rained and water has risen these two days, it is just under the water. We all know the location of the wooden stakes, so we can step on the stakes. Why don't you ask?"
