small stories, short and profound one

A turtle was once scolded by a fish and, without uttering a word, slowly retracted its head into its shell. The fish, unable to contain its contempt, remarked, "You're really useless. All you know how to do is hide."

The turtle, leisurely stretching out its limbs, calmly replied, "This is not an escape. It's just a request for a quiet environment."

The fish continued its tirade, "You've been cursed so badly."

Unfazed, the turtle responded, "Let others say what they will. As long as I don't care, it's nothing. That's how I've managed to live so long."

This exchange holds a valuable lesson for us all. The reality is that people who like us will always find justification for our actions, while those who don't will always find fault in everything we do.

Instead of wasting energy trying to explain ourselves to others, it's better to focus on being our best selves and letting our actions speak for themselves. There is no need to explain to friends, and explaining to enemies is also futile. Silence can often be the best response to criticism or negativity.

In conclusion, the turtle's response teaches us to remain calm and steadfast in the face of criticism. It's essential to focus on our own growth and not let the opinions of others bring us down. By doing so, we can live a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

Perception:

People who like you are right in everything you do; People who don't like you, no matter how well you do, it's not pleasing to see you.

There is no need to explain to friends, and explaining to enemies is also futile.

A young man went to buy a bowl, and he picked up one and gently bumped it against the other bowls one by one.

But almost all the bowls were touched, and not a single one was satisfied.

So his trick is:

A good bowl is one that emits a clear and pleasant sound when one bowl is gently collided with another.

The boss smiled and said, "The one you used to test the bowl is itself a defective product. To get a good bowl, you must first ensure that you are also a high-quality product

Perception:

Everyone has a bowl in their life, filled with kindness, trust, tolerance, and sincerity, as well as hypocrisy, suspicion, narrowness, and selfishness.

If you give sincerity, you will receive corresponding goodwill; If you carry suspicion, it is inevitable to arouse suspicion from the other party.

To be the best of oneself is to meet the best of others.
