Philosophical Story (1): Ships in the Sea
Lloyd's Insurance Company of England once bought a boat from the auction market. The ship was launched on 1894, encountered icebergs 138 times in the Atlantic Ocean, hit rocks 1 16 times, caught fire 13 times, and the mast was broken by the storm 207 times. However, it never sank.
Lloyd's Insurance Company finally decided to buy from the Netherlands and donate it to the country based on its incredible experience and considerable premium income. Now the ship is moored at the National Ship Museum in Salem, England.
However, it was a lawyer who came here for sightseeing that made this ship famous in the world. At that time, he had just lost a lawsuit and his client committed suicide not long ago. Although this is not the first time that he failed in his defense or committed suicide, he always feels guilty whenever such a thing happens. He doesn't know how to comfort these people who have suffered misfortune in business.
When he saw the ship in the Salem Ship Museum, he suddenly had an idea, why not let them visit the ship? So, he copied the history of the ship and hung it in his law office together with the photo of the ship. Whenever a business client comes to him for defense, he doesn't care whether he wins or loses, and suggests that they go to see the boat.
It lets us know that no ship can sail at sea without injury.
Life sentiment:
Despite repeated setbacks, perseverance is the secret of success.
Philosophical Story (2): Are you in the well?
One day, a farmer's donkey accidentally fell into a dry well. The farmer racked his brains to find a way to save the donkey, but several hours later, the donkey was still whining in the well.
Finally, the farmer decided to give up. He thinks the donkey is too old to save it, but the well must be filled in anyway. So the farmer invited his neighbor to help him bury the donkey in the well to avoid its pain.
The farmer's neighbor, with a shovel in his hand, began to shovel dirt into the dry well. When the donkey realized his situation, it began to cry in pain. But surprisingly, the donkey was quiet after a while. The farmer looked curiously at the bottom of the well. He was stunned by what he saw:
When the dirt shoveled into the well fell on the donkey's back, the donkey's reaction was amazing? It shakes off the soil and then stands on the shoveled mound!
In this way, the donkey shook off all the dirt that everyone shoveled on it at the bottom of the well and stood up. Soon, the donkey proudly rose to the wellhead, and then ran away with everyone's surprised expression!
Life sentiment:
Just like a donkey, in the journey of life, sometimes we will inevitably fall into a dry well and be dumped on us by various sands. The secret of getting out of these dry wells is to shake off the sediment and stand on it!
Philosophical Story (3): Broken Arrow
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a father and son went to war. The father became a general and the son was just a pawn. Another horn sounded, the drums roared, and my father solemnly raised an quiver with an arrow in it. The father solemnly said to his son:? This is a treasure-attacking arrow. It's very powerful to wear around, but don't take it out. ? This is an extremely delicate quiver, made of thick cowhide, inlaid with faint shiny copper edges, and look at the arrow's exposed tail. You can tell at a glance that it is made of fine peacock feathers.
The son is beaming and greedily speculates about the appearance of the shaft and arrow, as if the arrow whizzed past his ear and the enemy commander died in response. Sure enough, Bao Jian's son is heroic and invincible. When the trumpet sounded, the son could no longer resist the heroic spirit of victory, completely abandoned his father's advice, and a strong desire drove him to shout and pull out his treasure arrow to find out. Suddenly he was shocked. A broken arrow, there is a broken arrow in the quiver.
I've been fighting with a broken arrow on my shoulder! My son broke out in a cold sweat, as if the house had lost its pillar in an instant and collapsed.
The result is self-evident, and my son died tragically in the disorderly army.
Sweeping away the misty smoke, my father picked up the broken arrow and spat heavily. If you don't believe in your will, you'll 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; Put life safety on the unit?
Life sentiment:
You are an arrow. If you want it to be tough, sharp, piercing, sharpening and saving, you can only be yourself.
Philosophical Story (4): The Value of Life
At a seminar, a famous speaker didn't make an opening speech, but he had a $20 bill in his hand.
Facing the 200 people in the meeting room, he asked. Who wants this 20 dollars? 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 said, kneading the money into a ball, and then asked: Who wants it? There are people holding hands. He added:? So, 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 had 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 value in the eyes of God. In his view, dirty or clean, dressed neatly or untidy, you are still priceless. ?
Life sentiment:
The value of life lies not in what we do or who we make friends with, but in ourselves! We are unique? Never forget this!
Philosophical story (5): It's beautiful to hold your head high.
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 kept praising her for wearing a beautiful 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, how beautiful you look with your head held high! ? The teacher patted her lovingly 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 lost it when she came 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.
