 Life goes on, struggle goes on!

More than a hundred years ago, a poor shepherd with two young sons tended sheep for others for a living.

  One day, as they drove the sheep up a hill, a flock of geese honked and flew over their heads, and soon disappeared into the distance. The shepherd's youngest son asked his father, "Where are the geese going to fly?" The shepherd said, "They are going to a warm place, where they will make their home and spend the cold winter." The older son blinked his eyes in envy and said, "If only I could fly like the geese." The younger son also said, "How wonderful it would be to be a flying goose!"

  The shepherd was silent for a while, then said to his two sons, "If you want to, you can fly too."

  When the two sons tried and failed to fly, they looked at their father with suspicious eyes, and the shepherd said, "Let me show you how to fly." So he opened his arms, but he couldn't fly either. However, the shepherd said with certainty, "I can't fly because I am old, you are still young, if you keep trying, you will be able to fly in the future and go where you want to go."

  The two sons remembered their father's words and kept working hard. When they grew up, when the older brother was 36 and the younger brother was 32, they did fly because they invented the airplane. These two men are the Wright brothers of America.

  If the heart is there, the dream will be there; if the heart is irrigated, the flower of the dream will eventually bloom.

  A baby eagle fell out accidentally when the mother eagle went out for food, and was just seen by the mother chicken, so she picked it up and fed it together with a group of chicks.

  As time passed, the eagle grew up day by day, also accustomed to the life of chickens, and the chickens also regard it as their own kind, it is also like them to go out to the back of the plowing to find food, never tried to fly high into the air.

  One day, when the little eagle was out for food, it suddenly ran into its mother, who was surprised to see it and said, "Little eagle, why are you here?

  The little eagle said, "I am not a little eagle, I am a little chicken, I can't fly, the sky is so high, how can I fly up there?"

  The mother hawk was angry with the little hawk, but she still encouraged him loudly, "Little hawk, you are not a chicken, you are an eagle fighting in the blue sky. Don't believe me! Let's go to the edge of the cliff and I will teach you to fly high."

  So the little eagle followed its mother to the cliff, shivering with nervousness. The mother eagle said patiently, "Don't be afraid, son. Look at how I fly, follow my example, push, push." The little eagle trembled and finally took off under the drive of the mother eagle ......

  Everyone is a hawk, but according to the chicken way or in the chicken environment for a long time, they no longer believe in their own potential. The difference between heaven and earth is just a flap of wings.

  Please believe in yourself and believe that you are also an eagle.

  There was an old man fishing at the river, a child went over to see him fishing, the old man's skills are pure, so it did not take long to catch a basket full of fish, the old man saw the child is very cute, to give him the whole basket of fish, the child shook his head, the old man asked surprised why you do not want? The child replied, "I want the fishing rod in your hand." The old man asked, "What do you want the fishing rod for? The child said: "This basket of fish did not take long to eat, if I had a fishing rod, I can catch their own, and a lifetime of food. "You say, this child is not very smart?

  The important thing is also in the fishing skills. Learning, not just remember the knowledge, more important is to master the method, sort out the law.

  A discouraged young man, because the imperial examinations did not pass, it is disillusioned, a stumble, all day in the house, hugging headache crying. One day, an old man came through the door and said, "If the mountain slides, what should you do?" The young man mumbled, "Run down." The old man threw back his head and laughed: "Then you will be buried in the mountain. You should run up the mountain, you only face it bravely, there is hope of survival, all things are true." After saying that, he drifted away.

  What students need to be told is that the only way to overcome challenges and difficulties is to be brave enough to face them. When faced with setbacks, one must rise to the occasion. This is especially true in learning.

  On the first day of school, Socrates, the great philosopher of ancient Greece, said to his students, "Today we will learn only one thing that is the simplest and easiest to do. Each of you fling your arms as far forward as you can, and then as far back as you can." Saying that, Socrates demonstrated how to do it: "Starting today, do 300 strokes every day, can everyone do it?"

  The students all laughed. They thought, "What is so simple that cannot be done? After a month, Socrates asked the students, "Which students have persisted in shaking 300 strokes every day?" Ninety percent of the students raised their hands proudly. After another month, Socrates asked again, and only 80% of the students persisted.

  After a year, Socrates asked everyone again, "Please tell me, which of you have persisted in the simplest hand shaking exercise?" Only one person in the whole classroom raised his hand. This student was Plato, another great philosopher of ancient Greece, who later became famous.

  The hardest thing in the world is persistence. Success lies in persistence.

  Once, an old robber took his apprentice to rob a bank and was chased by the police. The two fled so wildly that they almost lost their pants. It was hard to shake off the police, the two were out of breath and collapsed on the ground. After a long time, the apprentice said, "Master, master, if there were no police in this world, how wonderful it would be!" Master scolded: "Bullshit! If there were no police, we would still have food to eat? The disciple was puzzled. The master said, "You only know one thing, but not the other. Think about it, if there is no police, is not everyone dare to steal, to rob? It is because of these police officers, to block those capable people, we have room to live! Compared to them, what are we? What are we capable of? We are just a thief's courage, dare to do what they dare not do, to get a living? With the police, we are here! Without the police, there would be no good life for us!"

  You see how successful people are, but you only see one side, not the other side, you "only see the thief eat meat, not see the thief beaten", not see their sweat, tears, and even blood for success! Even if you see the "thief beaten", you are only willing to do "only eat meat and not beaten thief". There is no such thing as a bargain in the world! The experience of the old robber above, we can borrow it well. As long as there is a little courage and self-confidence, it is enough to break through the physical and psychological barriers.

  There is an old carpenter ready to retire, he told the boss, said to leave the construction industry, go home and enjoy the happiness of his wife and children. The boss couldn't let go of his . Good workers go, asked him if he could help build a house again, the old carpenter said yes. But everyone could see later that his heart was no longer in the work, he was using soft materials, out of the rough work. When the house was built, the owner handed him the key to the front door. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you." He was dumbfounded with shock and ashamed. If he had known he was building a house for himself, how could he? Now he has to live in a shoddy house!

  Are we the heroes of the story? Everything we do, whether it's classes, class work, other work in school, or tasks in workshops, we think we're doing work for others, but we're actually building a house for ourselves. Every little bit grows, and everything we do today is our future. Some teachers may say, "I just want to live my life like this, and I don't want to become a famous teacher. You can say that now, but what will you think in ten or twenty years? We are responsible for ourselves in the future now. Through this story, I think we should be more conscious in facing our own work and see it as a process of our own growth and gain.

  A salesman was pronounced by a doctor to have cancer after a medical checkup, and he only had three months to live. After panicking and calmly thinking about how to arrange the remaining hours, he finally made up his mind and intended to live his last journey of life without moving and calmly while leaving a good reputation. At home, he no longer scolded his children and wife, but often took time to go out with his family.

  Three months passed quickly, and the man whom everyone hated became a model employee who was valued by the company's leaders, loved by his colleagues and welcomed by customers.

  When he was dealing with the last stop of his life, he received a notice from the hospital that the examination report was wrong, and his body was healthy and all normal.

  He is still him, nothing has changed, but because of the change in his attitude, his whole life has changed. Therefore, when you look out the window through the glass, if the glass is green, the world outside is green, if the glass is red, what you see is the red world, this glass is in your heart.

  Therefore, the good or bad of this world is determined by you.

  What is the color of the glass in your heart? Which one is the best for you?

  Once upon a time, two hungry men were given a gift from an elder: a fishing rod with a basket of fresh and large fish. One of them asked for a basket of fish and the other one asked for a fishing rod, so they went their separate ways. The man who got the fish on the spot with dry wood to build a campfire to cook up the fish, he gobbled it up, not yet tasting the fresh fish meat, in a flash, even the fish with soup he ate up, and soon, he died of hunger next to the empty fish basket. Another person continued to starve with a fishing rod, step by step with difficulty to the sea, but when he had seen the blue ocean not far away, his body's last bit of strength also finished, he could only bashfully with the endless regret of the earth.

  There are two hungry people, they were also given a fishing rod and a basket of fish from the elders. But they did not go their separate ways, but agreed to go together to find the sea, they both cooked one fish at a time, they went through a long trek to the sea, from then on, the two began to fish for a living, a few years later, they built a house, have their own families, children, fishing boats built by themselves, and live a happy and healthy life.

  If a person only cares about the immediate benefits, what he gets will eventually be a short-lived pleasure; a person with lofty goals, but also has to face the reality of life. Only by organically combining the ideal with the reality can we become a successful person. Sometimes, a simple truth is enough to give people a meaningful life inspiration.

  A spider in a broken wall web, the home down, however, its life off not peaceful, because it often suffer from the wind and rain attack.

  Another day, the rain came, its web once again suffered a disaster. Just after the heavy rain, the spider crawled hard to the broken web on the wall. Because the walls were wet, it climbed to a certain height and fell down. It climbed upward again and again and again and fell down again ......

  The three people who were always inside taking shelter from the rain saw the spider climbing up and falling down and began to discuss it, but their views were very different.

  The first person saw, sighed and said to himself: "Hey, my life is not just like this spider? Our situation is like this. It is true that always busy, but the results are nothing. It seems that my fortune is the same as this spider is also unable to change."

  The second person looked at the side quietly for a while, disdainfully said: "This spider is really stupid, why not from the side of the dry place to climb around it? Currently I can not be as stupid as it. And then encounter a difficult problem I must use the mind to think carefully, not just bury their heads in the sand, try to find a shortcut to solve the problem."

  The third person looked intently at the repeated defeats of the spider, his mind was deeply shocked, he was thinking: "A small spider there is such a persistent and strong spirit, with such energy will certainly be able to win. I really should learn from this spider!"
