1. Habit-father and son live in the mountains and drive ox carts down the mountain to sell firewood every day. The old father is more experienced, driving in the town, the mountain road is rugged, there are many bends, and his son has a good eye. He always reminds him when he wants to turn: "Dad, turn!" Once my father didn't go down the mountain because of illness, and my son drove alone. At the corner, the cow refused to turn, so the son tried every means to get off the bus and push and pull, luring it with grass, but the cow did not move. What the hell is going on? The son was puzzled, and finally there was only one way. He looked around at no one and shouted close to the cow's ear, "Dad, turn!" " The cow responded and moved. Cattle 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, there will naturally be a good life. 2, the fable of the iron ring-an iron ring, accidentally lost a part of itself. So he desperately searched for the lost part. But because I am not round, I roll very slowly. But because of this, it saw flowers and plants that were seldom noticed on weekdays and made friends with them. Hard work pays off, and one day, it finds the missing part. With it, although it is perfect, it will run very fast and can no longer talk to flowers and plants ... 3. Choose the direction-two ants want to climb over a wall and look for food at the other end of the wall. When an ant comes to the foot of the wall, it climbs up without hesitation, but whenever it climbs halfway, it will fall down because of fatigue and tiredness. However, it was not discouraged, fell down again and again, quickly adjusted itself and began to climb up again. Another ant observed it and decided to go around the wall. Soon, the ant came around the wall to the food and began to enjoy it; And the other ant keeps falling and starting again. Many times, besides courage and perseverance, success needs direction. Perhaps with a good direction, success will come faster than expected. 4. A crying woman turns into a laughing woman-There is a story of "A crying woman turns into a laughing woman" in "Zhen Yan of Zen Sea": there used to be an old lady living in nanzenji, Kyoto. She cried in rainy days and sunny days, and her face was depressed and sad for years. The monk in nanzenji asked her, "Why do you always cry?" She cried and replied, "I have two daughters. The eldest daughter married a shoe seller and the youngest daughter married an umbrella seller. On a sunny day, I think my little daughter's umbrella will not sell; It's raining, and I think that no one will buy my eldest daughter's shoes. How can I not cry? " The monk advised her: "When the weather is fine, you should think that the eldest daughter's shoes must have a prosperous business;" When it rains, you should think that your little daughter's umbrella must sell a lot. " The old lady immediately had an epiphany and smiled through tears. Since then, the content of her life has not changed, but because the angle of observing life has changed, she has changed from a "crying woman" to a "laughing woman". 5. Choice-Three people are going to be put in prison for three years, and the warden promised to meet one requirement for each of them. Americans love to smoke cigars and asked for three boxes of cigars. The French are the most romantic and want a beautiful woman to accompany them. The Jew said that he wanted a telephone to communicate with the outside world. Three years later, the first person to rush out was an American, with his mouth full of cigars and shouting, "Give me a fire, give me a fire!" " It turned out that he forgot to light the fire. Then the Frenchman came out-he saw a child in his hand, a beautiful woman holding a child in her hand and a third child in her belly. Finally, the Jew came out. He held the warden's hand tightly and said, "In the past three years, I have been in contact with the outside world every day. My business has not stopped, but has increased by 2%. To express my gratitude, I will give you a Lao Schlais!" This story tells us that what kind of choice determines what kind of life. Today's life is determined by our choices three years ago, and today's choices will determine our life three years later. We should choose to get in touch with the latest information and understand the latest trends, so as to create a better future for ourselves. 6, looking for courage-there is a young man wading through mountains to find courage. It took him three months to find the wooden house where the wise man lived. He went to knock at the door: "I came not far from Wan Li, looking for courage." The wise man said, "It's too late now. Come back tomorrow!" " The next morning, he came to the door of the wise man and knocked at the door. The wise man said, "It's too early now. I haven't got up yet. Come back tomorrow!" " On the third day, the fourth day and the fifth day, the young man knocked at the door, and the wise men sent him away for different reasons. On the sixth day, when the youth knocked at the door, the wise man said, "I want to rest, please come back tomorrow!" " The young man was angry from the heart and said loudly, "Every time I come, you push the buttons like this. When can I find courage?" Then he kicked the door of the wise man and rushed into the house. The wise man smiled and looked at the angry young man and said, "No, you have found courage!" " It turns out that courage is daring to act. The biggest difference between a successful person and a failed person is not the strength of intelligence and the size of ability, but whether you believe in yourself, dare to take risks and dare to take decisive action on your own judgment. Courage is not to keep your head down when you encounter difficulties. Seven, five gold coins-there is a man named Abag who lives on the grassland in Inner Mongolia. Once, the young Abag and his father got lost on the grassland. Abag was tired and afraid, and finally he couldn't walk. Dad took out five coins from his pocket, buried one coin in the grass, put the other four coins in Abag's hand, and said, "There are five gold coins in life, one for childhood, adolescence, youth, middle age and old age, and you have only used one now, that is, the one buried in the grass. You can't throw all five coins in the grass. You should use them bit by bit, and use them differently every time." We must walk out of the grassland today, and you must walk out of the grassland in the future. The world is very big. If people are alive, they should go to more places and see more. Don't throw away your gold coins if they are useless. " Encouraged by his father, Abag walked out of the grassland that day. When he grew up, Abag left his hometown and became an excellent captain. -Cherish life, and you can walk out of the swamp of frustration. 8, the regeneration of the eagle-the eagle is the longest-lived bird in the world. Its lifetime age can reach 7 years old. To live such a long life, it must make difficult but important decisions at the age of 4. When the eagle lived to be 4 years old, its claws began to age and it could not effectively catch its prey. Its beak became long and curved, almost touching its chest. Its wings become very heavy, making it very difficult to fly. It has only two choices: to die, or to go through a very painful renewal process. After 15 days of long practice, it must fly to the top of the mountain very hard. Nest on the cliff, stay there, and don't fly. The eagle first hit the rock with its beak until it fell off completely. Then quietly wait for the new beak to come out. It will pull out nails one by one with its newly grown beak. When the new nails grow, they pull out the feathers one by one. Five months later, new feathers came out. The eagle began to fly and regained its strength in another 3 years! In our life, sometimes we have to make difficult decisions and start a new process. We must abandon old habits and traditions so that we can fly again. 9. Please don't open the wrong window-a little girl is lying on the windowsill, watching the people outside the window burying her beloved puppy, and she can't help but burst into tears. When her grandfather saw this, he quickly led her to another window and let her enjoy his rose garden. Sure enough, the little girl's mood suddenly became clear. The old man held up his granddaughter's chin and said, "Son, you opened the wrong window." Open the window next to failure, and maybe you will see hope. 1. Tutoring of Lions and Antelopes-Every day, when the sun rises, the animals on the African prairie start running. The mother lion is educating her children: "Son, you must run faster and faster. If you can't outrun the slowest antelope, you will starve to death alive." On another field, the mother antelope is also educating her children: "Son, you must run faster, faster. If you can't run faster than the fastest lion, you will definitely be eaten by them." Remember that you run fast, others run faster. 11. Kindness is invincible. This is a true story: a lonely old man, childless and sickly, decided to move to a nursing home and announced the sale of his beautiful house. This is a famous house, and buyers flock to it when they hear the news. The base price of the house was 8, pounds, but people quickly bid it to 1, pounds, and the price is still rising. If it weren't for his poor health, the old man wouldn't have sold the house where he spent most of his life. In the past few days, none of the buyers have done as he wished. The old man was deep in the sofa, full of melancholy. Later, a young man in plain clothes came to the old man, bent down and whispered, "Sir, I also want to buy this house, but I only have 1 thousand pounds." "But its reserve price is 8, pounds," the old man said flatly. "If you sell me your house, I promise you will still live here, drink tea, read newspapers and take a walk with me. Believe me, I will take care of you with my whole heart!" The old man stood up and waved people to be quiet. "Friends, the new owner of this house has been born, this young man!" Young people have won an incredible economic victory and their dreams have come true. Yes, in real life, some people sell their personalities, thoughts and even souls in order to make money, but this story makes us understand that it is not by cold-blooded killing and fraud that dreams can be realized. In fact, what really makes a person a big winner is often that kind heart. 12. Abandonment-In the Indian tropical jungle, people catch monkeys in a strange hunting method: install a Xiao Mu box on the ground and put nuts that monkeys like to eat in it. There is a small opening in the wooden box, just enough for the monkey to put his front paws in, but after grasping the nuts, the monkey's paws can't be pulled out. People can catch monkeys in this way because monkeys have a habit: they refuse to put down what they have got. 13, personality-great calligraphy Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy attainments are profound, unique, very style, but before he became famous, he spent decades trying to figure out and explore the copybooks of the previous generation of famous calligraphers. Kung fu is very deep, although there is no breakthrough, I still practice writing, so that I write on my wife's back when I sleep. His wife asked, "What are you doing?" Zheng Banqiao replied, "I'm practicing calligraphy." "What word to practice?" His wife said angrily, "You have your body and I have mine. What do you always cling to other people?" It's true that the speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. "A word wakes the dreamer." After hearing this, Zheng Banqiao suddenly realized. From then on, I put aside other people's inscriptions and stood out, creating my own style-Banqiao style. 14, the inspiration of ants-ants have given us a lot of inspiration-unity is strength, never be discouraged, etc. Here I will also tell a story about ants: two ants want to look for food on the other side of the wall, and an ant climbs up the wall, just halfway up and falls down, and so on and so forth several times. Seeing this, another ant bypassed the wall and went to the other side. By the time the first ant climbed over the wall, the ant had finished eating. The first ant lost its food with the virtue of never being discouraged and never giving up. This kind of thing happens not only in the simple-minded ant country, but also in our developed human society: some writers blindly sum up their successful experiences, and as a result, their future works are the same as their previous works, with no innovation and nothing new. Isn't this a kind of sadness that doesn't give up? It can be said that giving up is a new breakthrough and a prerequisite for surpassing oneself. Giving up lightly is a weak person, not giving up is a fool, and knowing how to give up is a wise person. 15. Success-Someone once said to the ball king Bailey, "Your son is now very strong and will become a sports star like you in the future." Bailey replied without thinking: "This is impossible. The reason is simple: because he is rich now and lacks innate sense of competition, I have been very poor since childhood. " 16. Competition-An old man and a hunting dog became the owners of this manor. After two months, the hound didn't eat or drink, and soon became as thin as a specimen. One day, a foraging goshawk came to the manor, and the hunting dog jumped up and barked at the goshawk. On this day, the dog ate a lot. The awakened old man caught a wolf from the mountains and tied it to a tree outside the manor. Since then, the situation has changed: as long as the hounds see the wolf, they will look very energetic, and their appetite will increase greatly, and they will get fatter day by day-without rivals and contests, without crisis and competition, the hounds will die. 17. Self-esteem-I once read a story about a child whose parents died in a certain country. Fortunately, he was funded by a rich man, and since then, he has successfully completed his studies without food and clothing. In the process of its growth, it is often reported by the media, and the deeds of rich people's funding are often seen in newspapers. Shortly after graduating from college, another reporter interviewed him and asked him how he was going to thank his benefactor. Unexpectedly, this person shocked four people: "No, I don't thank him. Poverty is the most shameful thing. He exchanged my poverty for honor, and we exchanged it for equal value." At first glance, this person's words seem ungrateful, but on reflection, I can't help but feel a little sympathy and respect-people don't lose their self-esteem because of poverty. The child's success is certainly thanks to the care and help of the rich man, but respect is not pity. How many people can understand and appreciate that children who grow up in media reports are deeply hurt because of poverty, because they are often forced to expose this shameful poverty to the public? 18. Value (education)-Once in the country, we saw an old man shoveling the forage for cattle to the eaves of a small hut. I can't help but feel strange. We asked the old man, "Grandpa, why don't you put it in the trough for the cows to eat, but put it there?" The old man said, "This forage is not good. If it is put in the trough, the cows will disdain it." But if you put it on the roof where the cow can barely reach it, the cow will eat hard until the forage is finished. " This is really interesting. What is the best? What is the most precious? It's not a matter of trust, and the most expensive one may not be. It's where we can't reach it easily or completely. 19. Managing people's hearts-During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Li Shageng, a shopkeeper with a little heart in Nanchang City, won customers with genuine goods. However, after making money, it is adulterated with fakes, and it is also neglected to customers, and its business is getting colder and colder. One day, Zheng Banqiao, a famous painter and calligrapher, came to the store for dinner. Li Shageng was very surprised. Please write the name of the store. Zheng Banqiao wrote "Li Shageng's Dim Sum Shop", and Mo Bao was vigorous and powerful, which attracted people to watch, but no one ate. It turned out that the word "heart" was a little missing, and Li Shageng asked for a supplement. But Zheng Banqiao said, "There is nothing wrong. You used to be prosperous because of this in your heart, but now your business is light because of this in your heart." Li Shageng realized the importance of managing life. Since then, I have repented, won the hearts of the people and won the market again. The human heart is an intangible asset and a great wealth that cannot be ignored. For enterprises and businesses, managing people's hearts is the key to the healthy and sustainable development of the cause. 2, the way to success-a young man asked a rich man for the way to success, but the rich man took three watermelons of different sizes and put them in front of the young man.
