During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a father and son went out to fight. The father became a general, but the son was only a pawn. Another horn sounded and the drums thundered. Father solemnly raised an quiver with arrows. The father solemnly said to his son, "This is an arrow to attack treasure, with infinite power, but it cannot be taken out."
This is an extremely delicate quiver, made of thick cowhide with a faint shiny copper edge. Look at the exposed tail of the arrow. You can tell at a glance that it is made of fine peacock feathers. The son is beaming and greedily infers the appearance of the shaft and arrow, as if the arrow whizzed past his ear and the enemy commander fell to the ground and died.
Sure enough, the son with the treasure arrow is heroic and invincible. When the horn sounded, the son could no longer resist the heroic spirit of victory and completely abandoned his father's advice. A strong desire drove him to pull out the treasure arrow with a shout to see what had happened. Suddenly he was shocked.
A broken arrow, there is a broken arrow in the quiver.
I have been fighting with a broken arrow! My son broke out in a cold sweat, like a house that lost its pillar in an instant and collapsed.
The result is self-evident, and my son died tragically in the disorderly army.
Father swept away the misty smoke, picked up the broken arrow and spat heavily: "If you don't believe in your will, you will never be a general."
How stupid it is to pin victory or defeat on a precious arrow, and how dangerous it is for a person to give the core and handle of life to others! For example, pin your hopes on children; Put happiness on her husband; Insure the crew with life insurance ...
Hint: You are an arrow. If you want it to be tough, sharp, penetrating, sharp and saving, you can only be yourself.
2. The value of life-don't let yesterday's depression overshadow tomorrow's dream!
At a seminar, a famous speaker held a $20 bill in his hand and didn't make an opening speech. Facing the 200 people in the meeting room, he asked, "Who wants this $20?" Put one hand up. He went on to say, "I want to give this $20 to one of you, but before that, please allow me to do one thing." He crumpled up the money and asked, "Who wants it?" Others raised their hands.
He added, "Well, what if I do this?" He threw the money on the ground, stepped on it and ran it over with his foot. Then he picked up the dirty and wrinkled bill.
"Who wants it now?" Someone still raised their hands.
"My friends, you have learned a very meaningful lesson. No matter how I treat that bill, you still want it, because it hasn't depreciated, and it's still worth 20 dollars. On the road of life, we will be knocked down, bullied or even crushed by our own decisions or adversity countless times. We feel as if we are worthless. But no matter what happens or what will happen, you will never lose your value in the eyes of God. "
Tips: The value of life lies not in what we do, nor in who we make friends with, but in ourselves! We are unique-never forget this!
It's beautiful to hold your head high-although it's a black cow, the milk is white.
Jenny is a little girl who always lowers her head. She always feels that she is not beautiful enough. One day, she went to the jewelry store and bought a green bow. The shopkeeper praised her for wearing a bow. Although Jenny doesn't believe it, she is very happy. She couldn't help raising her head, eager to show it to everyone. It doesn't matter if she accidentally bumped into someone when she went out.
Jenny walked into the classroom and met her teacher head-on. "Jenny, it's nice to look up!" "The teacher lovingly patted her on the shoulder and said.
That day, she was praised by many people. She thought it must be a bow, but when she looked in front of the mirror, there was no bow on her head. She must have been lost when she was out of the jewelry store.
Self-confidence is a kind of beauty, but many people lose a lot of happiness because they care too much about appearance.
Tips: Whether you are poor or rich, whether you look like a fairy or plain, as long as you hold your head high, happiness will make you cute-the kind that everyone likes.
Draw a leaf for life-as long as you believe, there will always be miracles. Although the hope is slim, it will last forever.
In his novel The Last Leaf, American writer O Henry tells a story: In the ward, a dying patient saw a tree outside the window and fell down one by one in the autumn wind. The patient is getting worse and worse when he looks at the rustling leaves in front of him. She said, "When all the leaves are gone, I will die," an old painter learned.
The last leaf never fell. Because of the green color in life, the patient miraculously survived.
Tip: Life can be without many things, but only without hope. Hope is an important value of human life. Where there is hope, there is endless life!
5. Flying Spider-Faith is an indomitable force. When you believe that you can succeed, you will succeed.
One day, I found a black spider making a big net between two eaves in the backyard. Can spiders fly? Otherwise, from this cornice to that cornice, there are more than ten feet wide in the middle. How is the first line pulled? Later, I found that the spider took many detours-starting from a cornice, knotting, walking along the wall, climbing forward step by step, carefully raising its tail to prevent the spider silk from touching the sand or other objects on the ground, walking through the clearing, and then climbing up the opposite cornice, with the same height, and then tying the spider silk tightly, which will be the same in the future.
Tip: Spiders can't fly, but they can make webs in mid-air. They are industrious, sensitive, silent and tenacious insects. Their webs are exquisitely woven and regular, and Zhang Kaicheng's gossip shape seems to be helped by God. Such an achievement reminds people of those who are taciturn and some hidden wise men. So, I remember that spiders can't fly, but they still make webs in the air. Miracles are caused by persistent people.
6. Shadow is a paper dragon-in life, there are often countless blows from the outside world, but the final decision is in your hands.
My grandfather made me a long dragon out of paper. Only a few locusts can be accommodated in the gap in the abdominal cavity of this long dragon. When I put them in, they all died inside, and no one survived! Grandfather said, "locusts are too impatient." Apart from struggling, they don't want to bite the long dragon with their mouths, and they don't know that they can climb out from the other end as long as they keep going. Therefore, even if they have iron pliers-like mouths and serrated thighs, it will not help. " When grandpa put several bugs of the same size into the faucet and then turned off the faucet, a miracle appeared: in just a few minutes, the young bugs climbed out of Barry one by one.
Tip: Destiny has always been hidden in our minds. Many people can't walk out of the shadow at different stages of life, big or small, not because their natural personal conditions are much worse than others, but because they have no thought to bite the shadow paper dragon and have no patience to find a direction slowly and move forward step by step until a new hole appears in front of them.
7. Success is not as difficult as you think-not because we dare not do things, but because we dare not do things.
1965, a Korean student went to Cambridge University to study psychology. During afternoon tea, he often goes to the school cafe or teahouse to listen to some successful people chatting. These successful people include Nobel Prize winners, academic authorities in some fields and some people who create economic myths. These people are humorous and easy-going and think their success is very natural and logical. After a long time, he found that he was cheated by some successful people at home. Those people generally exaggerate the hardships of starting a business in order to let the people who are starting a business retreat. In other words, they are using their successful experience to scare those who have not yet succeeded.
As a student of psychology department, he thinks it is necessary to study the mentality of successful people in Korea. 1970 He submitted "Success is not as difficult as you think" as his graduation thesis to Professor Will Braden, the founder of modern economic psychology. After reading it, he was greatly surprised. He thinks this is a new discovery. Although this phenomenon is common in the East and even the whole world, no one has boldly put forward and studied it before. To his surprise, he wrote to his Cambridge alumnus park chung-hee, who was sitting at the top of Korean politics. He said in the letter: "I can't say how much this book has helped you, but I'm sure it can shock you more than any of your laws."
Later, this book really took off with South Korea's economy. This book has inspired many people, because they tell people from a new angle that success is not necessarily related to "hungry with bones", "lighting in the middle of the night" and "hanging over your head and stabbing your teeth". As long as you are interested in a certain cause, you will succeed if you persist for a long time, because God has given you enough time and wisdom to successfully complete a thing.
Tips: Many things in the world can be done as long as you want, and the difficulties you should overcome can also be overcome. You don't need any iron will, let alone any skill or strategy. As long as a person is living a simple and interesting life, he will eventually find that the creator's arrangement for the world is natural.
8. Always hold the ticket-life is really interesting: if you only accept the best, you will often get the best.
There is a person who travels a lot and often can't buy a suitable ticket. But no matter the distance, no matter how crowded the bus is, he can always find a seat.
In fact, his method is very simple, that is, patiently looking for the past cars one by one. This method doesn't sound brilliant, but it does work. Every time he is going to walk from the first car to the last car, but he doesn't have to walk to the end every time. He will find a seat. He said that this is because there are not many passengers who are obsessed with finding seats like him. Often there are some seats left in the carriage where he sits, but in the aisles of other carriages.
He said that most passengers are easily confused by the superficial phenomenon of one or two cars being crowded and will not think about it. In dozens of stations, there are many opportunities to provide seats in the flow of people from more than a dozen doors of the train. Even if they thought of it, they didn't have the patience to look for it. A small foothold in front of them is easy for most people to satisfy, and some people feel that it is not worthwhile to squeeze for one or two seats. They are also worried that if they can't find a seat, they won't even have a place to stand back. Just like some people who are content with the status quo and afraid of failure, they can only stay at the starting point of unsuccessful forever. Most of these passengers who don't want to take the initiative to find a seat can only stay in the initial position after getting on the bus.
Tips: Self-confidence, persistence, foresight, and diligence in practice will make you hold a ticket for the journey of life forever.
9. Hard rock in our hearts-The only obstacles that hinder our discovery and creation are our psychological obstacles and hard rock in our hearts.
Once upon a time, there was a big stone in a family's garden, about 40 cm wide and 10 cm high. People who went to the vegetable garden accidentally kicked a big stone, either falling or scratching.
The son asked, "Dad, why don't you dig up that disgusting stone?"
Dad replied, "You mean that stone? It has been here since your grandfather's time. So big, I don't know when to dig. If there is nothing to do except dig stones, it is better to walk carefully and exercise your reaction ability. "
After a few years, this big stone was left to the next generation. At that time, my son married a daughter-in-law and became a father.
One day, my daughter-in-law said angrily, "Dad, the bigger the stones in the vegetable garden, the more I look at them, the more I feel." I'd better ask someone to move it another day. "
Dad replied, "Forget it! That big stone is heavy. If I could move, I moved when I was a child. How can I leave it here? "
Daughter-in-law is very upset. I don't know how many times that big stone made her fall.
One morning, the daughter-in-law took a hoe and a bucket of water and poured the whole bucket of water around the big stone.
10 minutes later, the daughter-in-law used a hoe to loosen the soil around the big stone.
Daughter-in-law has been psychologically prepared, and may have to dig for another day. No one expected that the stone would be dug up in a few minutes. Look at the size. This stone is not as big as expected, and it was deceived by its huge appearance.
Tips: You can't climb the mountain with the idea of going down. If your world is dull and hopeless, it is because you are dull and hopeless. To change your world, you must first change your mentality.
10. pursue ecstasy-don't think of yourself as a mouse, or you will be eaten by a cat.
1858, a rich family in Sweden gave birth to a daughter. However, not long after, the child suffered from an unexplained paralysis and lost the ability to walk.
Once, a girl and her family traveled by boat. The captain's wife told the child that the captain had a bird of paradise. She was fascinated by the description of the bird and wanted to see it with her own eyes. So the nanny left the child on the deck and went to the captain herself. The child couldn't bear to wait, so the waiter on the boat immediately took her to see the bird of paradise. The waiter didn't know that her legs couldn't walk, just took her to see the beautiful birds. A miracle happened. Because of excessive desire, the child selflessly grabbed the waiter's hand and walked slowly. Since then, the child's illness has recovered. When the girl grew up, she devoted herself selflessly to literary creation, and finally became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, namely Selma Lagrov.
Tip: Forgetting yourself is the shortcut to success. Only in such an environment can people transcend their own constraints and release the greatest energy.
