Story 1: A farmer rescued his wife from a flood, but his child was drowned. After the event, people are talking. Some say he is right, because the child can have another child, but the wife cannot die and come back to life. Some say he was wrong, because a wife may marry another, but the child cannot die and live again. I listened to people's comments, also feel confused difficult to decide: if only save one person, should save his wife, or save the child? So I went to see the farmer and asked him what he thought. "I don't think of anything," he replied. The flood hit and my wife passed me. I grabbed her and swam up the nearby hill. When I returned, the child had been washed away by the flood. On the way home, I pondered the farmer's words and said to myself: So it is called that there are many choices in life.

Story 2: This is a true story that happened in England. A lonely old man, childless and frail, decided to move to a nursing home. The old man announced his beautiful house for sale. Buyers flocked to the store. The base price of the house was ￡80,000, but people quickly bid it up to ￡100,000. Prices are still rising. The old man was deeply in love and melancholy. Yes, but for his poor health, he would not have sold the house that accompanied him for most of his life. A young man in plain clothes came up to the old man, bent down and said in a low voice, "Sir, I would like to buy this house, but I only have 10,000 pounds. However, if you sell the house to me, I promise to let you still live here, and I drink tea together, read newspapers, walk, happy every day - believe me, I will use the whole heart to take care of you!" The old man nodded and smiled, and sold the house to him at the price of 10,000 pounds. To accomplish your dream, you don't have to fight ruthlessly and cheat, sometimes, as long as you have a heart of love.

Story 3: There is a doctor assigned to a research institute, become the highest degree of a person. One day, he went fishing in the small pond behind his unit. He just nodded. What was there to talk about, two undergraduates? In a short time, Zheng Put down his fishing rod, stretched himself, and walked across the water like flying to the toilet. The doctor's eyes fell open. Floating on the water? Won't you? This is a pond. When he came back from the toilet, he floated back from the water. What's going on? Doctoral student is not good to ask, he is a doctoral student which! After a while, the deputy director also stood up, took a few steps, Dally shuffling across the water to go to the toilet. This down doctor is more almost faint: can't, arrived at the place that a all corners of the country master concentrates? The doctoral student is also in a hurry. There are walls on both sides of the pond, so it takes 10 minutes to go to the opposite toilet, and it's too far to go back to work. What should I do? Doctoral students also do not want to ask the two director, after holding back for a long time, also get up to cross into the water: I do not believe that undergraduate students can lead the water, I doctoral students can not lead. Just listen to a thunk, the doctoral student planted in the water. The two officers pulled him out and asked him why he went into the water. "Why can you walk there?" he asked. The two directors smiled at each other and said, "There are two rows of piles in the pond. The water is just below the surface because of the rain these two days. We all know where the stake is, so we can walk on it. Why didn't you ask?" Education represents the past, only learning ability can represent the future. Respect for experience, to avoid detours. A good team should also be a learning team.

Story 4: An old carpenter was planning to retire. He told his employer that he wanted to leave the construction business and go home to enjoy his extended family with his wife and children. The owner could not bear to see his good worker go, so he asked if he could help build another house. The carpenter said yes. But everyone could see later that his heart was no longer in the work. He used soft materials and did rough work. When the house was finished, the boss handed him the key to the front door. "This is your house," he said. "My gift to you." He was dumbfounded with shock and shame. If he knew he was building his own house, how could he? Now he has to live in a shoddy house! So it is with us. We build our lives carelessly, reacting rather than reacting, not striving for perfection, not doing our best when it matters. By the time we realize where we are, we are trapped inside the "house" we have built. Think of your house as the carpenter. Each day you hammer a nail, add a board, or erect a wall, and build it with your wisdom. Your life is the only creation you make in your life. It cannot be erased or rebuilt. Even if you only have one day to live, live that day beautifully and nobly.

Story 5: There was a wife who had been complaining for years about her lazy wife. "That woman's clothes never get cleaned. Look, she's drying them out in the yard and they're always spotted. Until one day, a perceptive friend came to her house and found that it was not the wife's clothes on the other side that were not clean. Her attentive friend took a cloth and wiped the ashes off the lady's window, saying, "Look, it's already clean!" It turned out that the Windows of his home were dirty.

The fourth day, the old lady felt some strange, and some disappointed, can not help but go to the wall to watch carefully, but at this time, the wall finally collapsed, the old lady was buried in the dust and bricks, died. It's easy and clear to remind others, but it's hard to keep reminding yourself. So many dangers come from within, and hence the old lady's sorrow.

The disciples hurried to the river not far from the mountain, stunned. There was no way to cross the river for firewood. With no success, the disciples were dejected. Only a small monk and master calm relative. The master asked why, the young monk took out an apple from his arms and handed it to the master, saying, can't cross the river, can't beat wood, see there is an apple tree by the river, I conveniently put the only apple on the tree to pick it. Later, the young monk became his master's successor. There is an endless road in the world, there is also a river that can not be crossed. Turning back from the river that can't be crossed is also a kind of wisdom. But the real wisdom also has to do one thing in the river: fly the thought kite, pluck an "apple". Through the ancient and modern, hold such a life belief of the people, have finally realized the breakthrough of life and beyond.

He devoured the fish and did not taste its meat. In a twinkling, he ate all the fish and soup, and soon he starved to death beside the empty fish basket. Another man is carrying a fishing rod to continue to starve, step by step difficult to the seaside, but when he has seen not far away that piece of blue ocean, his last bit of strength is also finished, he can only eyes with endless regret to die. There were two hungry people who also received a fishing rod and a basket of fish from the elder. But they did not each rush thing, but agreed jointly to find the sea, they only cook a fish, they go through distant journey, came to the seaside, from then on, two people started the day of fishing, several years later, they built the house, have their own family, children, had built his own boat, live a happy life. A person only in the interests of the present, will be a short pleasure; Aim high, but face the reality of life. Only by organically combining ideal and reality can one become a successful person. Sometimes, a simple truth, but enough to give a meaningful life inspiration.

Story 9: a popular catchphrase on the table: hold your wife's hand as if your right hand were holding your left. When someone read it out, a table of people laughed knowingly, and the atmosphere lightened immediately. This, of course, is based on a common understanding of what a catchphrase should be -- accurate in its feel and accurate in its description. One day the rhyme was repeated at the dinner table, and the men laughed heartily as usual. It turned out that a woman at the table wasn't smiling. Men are joking and don't take it seriously. Unexpectedly the woman said earnestly: the most wonderful is this "right hand holding left hand". First, the left hand is most trusted by the right hand; Second, the left hand and the right hand are each other's own; Third, any other hand how to make you happy and excited to death, after all can shake hands, only left hand, shake off you incomplete, right? A table man admire, praise the woman's understanding profound and original, the woman lightly say: have what profound and original, might as well go back and read to your respective wife listen, see what they say. The bolder of the men went back to test their wives, and sure enough, they all understood as well as the ladies at the table. They're both left handed. Men are left handed. And they're both right-handed, so of course they think right-handed.

Story 10: A farmer, after only two years of junior high school, his family could not afford to continue his education. He dropped out of school to help his father cultivate three acres of thin land. When he was 19 years old, his father died, and all the burdens of the family fell on his shoulders. He had to care for his ailing mother and a grandmother who was paralyzed in bed. In the 1980s, farmland was contracted to households. He dug a puddle into a pond to raise fish. But the village cadres told him that the paddy field can not raise fish, can only plant crops, he had to fill up the pond. It became a joke. In the eyes of others, he was a very stupid man who wanted to get rich. Hearing that raising chickens can make money, he borrowed 500 yuan from relatives and raised chickens. But after a flood, the chickens got pestilence and died out in a few days. 500 yuan may be nothing to others, but it is astronomical to a family that only lives on three mu of thin farmland. His mother could not bear the excitement and died of depression. He went on to make wine, fish, and even bore holes on the cliffs of a quarry... None of them made any money. At the age of 35, he still had no wife. Even divorced women with children despise him. Because he had only one mud hut, which could collapse at any time after a heavy rain. A man who can not marry a wife is not respected in the countryside. But he wanted to take a chance and borrowed money to buy a walking tractor. Unexpectedly, less than half a month on the road, the tractor took him into a river. He has broken a leg and is lame. The tractor, which had been fished up, was so broken that he had to take it apart and sell it as scrap metal. Almost everyone said his life was over. But later he became the head of a company in my city with 200 million yuan in assets. Now, many people know about his troubled past and legendary entrepreneurial experience. He has been interviewed in many media and described in many reportage. But that's all I remember. The reporter asked him: "in the days of suffering, why do you do not flinch again and again"? He sat down behind the large and luxurious boss's table and finished his glass of water. Then, holding the glass in his hand, he asked the reporter, "What happens to this glass if I let go?" The reporter said: "fell to the ground, broken." "Let's try." He said. He let go and the cup fell to the floor with a crisp sound, but it was not broken, it was intact. "Even if there were 10 people there, they would all think it was going to break," he said. But this cup is not just any glass. It is made of fiberglass." So, I remember this classic wonderful dialogue. Such a person, even if only a breath, he will try to hold the hand of success, unless god deprived of his life......
