A. ask a short story about being positive.

1, a painting by Picasso

Picasso was poor when he first started out. His paintings were sold by others, but they were left idle in a corner of the gallery.

The art dealer affirmed the great potential of his paintings, went to various galleries in Paris in person, pretended to be in a hurry, and said to the gallery sales staff, "I have several clients looking for Picasso's paintings. Do you have it here? " Art dealers use this technique again and again to create momentum for Picasso's paintings. As a result, Picasso's paintings gradually changed from unsalable products to imported products.

Feeling: If one day, you encounter troubles and obstacles in your career or work, it is useless to just sit there and sigh. Who cares about a person who has no talent and only talks but doesn't practice? In fact, as long as you use your head, there are many opportunities for breakthrough. The most effective way is to catch the eyes of key people.

2. One year's experience

"I have worked here for 30 years," a worker complained that he had not been promoted. "I have 20 years more experience than many people you promoted." "No," said the boss, "you only have one year's experience. You haven't learned anything from your mistakes. You are still making the mistakes you made in the first year. "

Feeling: You will encounter many failures. This is a compulsory course in your life, but it is not terrible. The terrible thing is that you have made no progress in repeated failures.

3. Tools for catching big fish

Jeremy and some friends traveled to Canada. In a fishing preparation, he insisted on buying a heavy fishing rod and spool. Someone saw his new fishing tackle and joked with him, "Are you going whale fishing?" Jeremy ignored these words that sounded discouraging to him.

A man's fishing line was broken, and the man complained that he had to prepare heavier fishing tackle. After that, Jeremy's thread suddenly tightened. That's a big fish! After 45 minutes, he dragged the trophy to the boat, a 32-pound big guy! People are in awe because Jeremy taught them a truth: if you want to catch big fish, you must first prepare the tools for catching big fish.

Feeling: If your goal is to catch a big fish, you must get everything ready for a possible big fish like Jeremy. Otherwise, the opportunity will become a big fish that slips away.

4. Become famous after death

An unrealistic young man worships the great inventor Edison very much. Once, he asked Edison, "Sir, why have you achieved so much?" Look how famous you are now! "Edison guessed his mind, deliberately asked," it seems that you really want to be famous? "

Hearing this, the young people thought Edison was trying to teach him the secret of becoming famous. He said happily, "I dream of becoming famous. When can I be as famous as you? " Edison smiled and said, "You will be famous soon after you die." "Why wait until after death?" The young man asked in surprise.

"Because you don't start building this tall building, you just want to have it. Then, your ideal will exist in the imagination space. However, if you spend your whole life in fantasy, you will become a mirror for those who only dream but are not pragmatic after you die. People often mention your name in order to educate future generations, so won't you become famous soon? ! "

Edison's warning greatly shocked the hearts of young people.

Feeling: Your own efforts are the premise of success, and there is no shortcut to success.

5. Be honest.

A company recruits employees. During the interview, the examiner asked such an arithmetic question: 10 minus 1 what is it? Some candidates mysteriously lie in the examiner's ear and say, "If you want to be equal to a few, that's equal to a few."

Others said smartly: "10 minus 1 equals 9, which is consumption;" 10 minus 1 equals 12, which is management; 10 minus 1 equals 15, which is trade; 10 minus 1 equals 20, which is finance; 10 minus 1 equals 100, which is bribery. "

Only one candidate answered 9, which was a bit hesitant. The examiner asked him why, and the examinee said, "I'm afraid telling the truth will make me look stupid and have a low IQ." Then, he added in a low voice, "Honesty may be the most useless weapon to get a good job in the world."

The honest man was finally hired. Afterwards, someone asked the examiner why he gave this question. The examiner said that the aim of our company is "don't look at complex problems too simply, and don't look at simple problems too complicated".

Feeling: always keep yourself awake and objective, don't complicate simple problems, and don't simplify complex problems.

B. Stories about optimism

A young painter, penniless, went into a luxurious restaurant and ordered dozens of oysters, hoping to find a pearl in the oyster shell to pay the bill.

Maybe you will find it funny, but we also have to admit that people who can live a free and easy life will have a happier and more fulfilling life, because such people don't know what "sadness" means.

A wise man once said: "People who are naturally optimistic know how to find light in adversity;" People who are pessimistic by nature often blow out the light because of stupid sighs. When you know the joy of life, you can enjoy it. " He also told us, "people who are preoccupied will be troubled by trivial matters;" "People who want to get rid of it cannot be bound by major events."

The optimism and pessimism of human nature, in fact, mainly lies in their own mentality. Just like people of two personalities walk into the same forest, a pessimistic person may say that there are too many mosquitoes and too much noise here, which affects his appreciation of flowers and plants; Optimists may say that besides beautiful flowers and plants, there are mosquitoes singing here, which is really wonderful. If two people walk out of the forest again, pessimists may say things like boredom, depression and depression again; An optimistic person will feel that everything around him is bright and his inner world will be suddenly enlightened. Therefore, people with two different mentalities have different views on things in the same environment.

People live in this world, whether it is flowers, sunshine or people or things around them. Everyone lives in peace and advances and retreats together. What's wrong with this world? When encountering difficulties and setbacks, it is useless to lament no matter how big the problem is, as long as you don't walk into a dead end. Keep an optimistic attitude. If one method is different, then in another case, different ways and moods may make you more surprised and successful.

C. An optimistic example

Optimistic celebrity examples:

When Reagan was a child, his parents used to lock him in a house full of horse manure and let him experience the hardships of life. After a while, my parents felt a little uneasy and went to see him in the house. Unexpectedly, instead of crying, he shoveled horse manure enthusiastically. He excitedly said to his surprised parents, "There is a lot of horse manure around. I know there must be a pony near here. "

The boy looking for a pony grew up optimistically day by day. Although his family was never rich or even almost bankrupt during the Great Depression, in Reagan's memory, life was basically happy and perfect. Reagan remained optimistic even when the presidential election was frustrated and the prospects were bleak.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) Balzac's story

Balzac has been unknown since he was born. Balzac was in trouble before he became famous. He is a law student, but after graduating from college, he prefers to be a writer. He completely ignored the advice of his father's lawyer, which made the relationship between father and son very tense. Soon after, his father stopped bringing him any living expenses, and his writing was constantly returned.

He got into trouble and began to be heavily in debt. In the most difficult time, he even had to eat some dry bread and drink some boiled water. But he is optimistic. Every time he eats, he will draw plates with "sausage", "ham", "cheese" and "steak" on the table, and then eat happily in his imagination.

What is even more thought-provoking is that this is the most "sad" day. He spent 700 francs on a big stick engraved with agate: I want to smash all obstacles. It is this great word that sustains him. Later facts proved that he succeeded.

D. optimistic material, short stories, etc.

The same life, different mentality, and completely different perspectives on things. We should be able to jump out and look at ourselves with an optimistic, open-minded and considerate attitude, look at ourselves and know ourselves; Don't be hard on yourself, more importantly, surpass yourself and break through yourself, because there is hope for a better life. The person who made you angry has gone away. Why are you still angry for him? The philosopher Kant said: "Anger is to punish yourself with the mistakes of others." . Jump out and look at yourself. You might as well look at yourself from another angle. You will realize that the bitterness, fatigue, happiness and comfort of life depend on one's mentality, which involves one's attitude towards life and feelings about things. Jump out and look at yourself from another angle, and you will face life calmly and never punish yourself with other people's mistakes again. When the pain comes, you might as well jump out and look at yourself from another angle, face this troubled life bravely, and then look for the reasons, lessons and methods to overcome the pain in the sad and barren land, so that the soul can make brave choices in the thorny mind and find the maturity of life. Jump out, look at yourself from another angle, and you will be happy in your life. "Every day is a beautiful day", and your mind will be bright and there will be no troubles. In other words, an old mother gave birth to two daughters. The eldest daughter married a businessman who sold umbrellas, and the second daughter worked in a dyehouse. This makes my mother sad every day. Fortunately, she was worried that her eldest daughter's umbrella would not be sold. It's cloudy, and the clothes in the second daughter's dyeing house can't dry. She is very sad. She was very sad on sunny and cloudy days, and soon turned white. One day, a distant relative came to see her, surprised at her aging and asked her why. She was not amused. The relative said, "You are happy when the umbrella of the eldest daughter sells well on cloudy days, and you should be happy when the business of the dyeing house of the second daughter is good on sunny days. In this way, you have something happy every day, and every day is a good day. Why don't you pick up happiness and sadness? " The old mother thought from another angle, "That makes sense!" From then on, she smiled and was happy every day. People's life is bound to stumble, get angry when they are unhappy, or encounter natural and man-made disasters and so on. Whenever this time, how do we deal with it? I remember a philosopher once said, "Our pain is not caused by the problems themselves, but by our views on these problems. This sentence is very philosophical, which leads us to liberation. Speaking of which, I am reminded of another story: On a summer evening, a beautiful girl jumped into the river and was rescued by a white-bearded ferryman who was rowing in the river. The ferryman asked, "You are young, why did you commit suicide?" "I was only married for two years, and my husband abandoned me, and then the child died of illness. What pleasure do you think I have in living? The ferryman listened thoughtfully for a while. He said, "How did you live two years ago?" * * said, "I was free and carefree at that time ..." "Did you have a husband and children at that time?" "No" "Then you were just sent back by the ship of fate two years ago. Now you're free again. Please go ashore ... "The voice just fell and * * * seemed to have a dream. She rubbed her eyes, thought about it, and went offshore. Since then, she has never committed suicide. * * * come to their senses. Because she looked at herself from another angle, she saw the dawn of life. Feel the power of freedom. Many times, all our sufferings and troubles are our own misjudgments based on the "experience" gained in previous lives. At this time, we might as well jump out and look at ourselves from another angle, so that you won't be depressed because of battlefield failure, shopping mall failure and frustrated love. I will not be carried away by fame and praise. Looking at yourself from another angle is a breakthrough, a liberation, a transcendence, a high-level indifference and tranquility, so as to gain the pleasure of freedom. Looking at the world from another angle, the world is infinitely broad; It's not safe to treat people from another standpoint. May every day be a beautiful day for you! When the ideal and pursuit of life can't be realized, we might as well look at life from another angle. From another angle, there will be another philosophy and another view of doing things.

He replied: Our place is very good. Our colleagues are very enthusiastic and willing to help each other. Managers are approachable and care about their subordinates.

A day later, the supervisor reported that people here have shoes, so there is no market for shoes here. Then the shoe factory decided to send the best salespeople to this country. A week later, the salesperson called back: People here wear shoes, but they have foot diseases. Wearing shoes is good for their feet. In any case, we must redesign our shoes, because their feet are very small, and we must spend a sum of money to educate them that wearing shoes is good. Besides, we must get the cooperation of tribal leaders before we start. People here don't have much money, but they have the sweetest pineapple we have never tasted. It is estimated that the potential sales volume of shoes is more than 3 years, so all our expenses, including selling pineapples to a European supermarket chain, can be earned back. Finally, you can make a profit of 30% of the payment. This is worth thinking about.

Hearing this, the scholar was disheartened and went back to the store to pack his bags and prepare to return. The shopkeeper was surprised and asked, isn't there an exam tomorrow? Why did you go back to your hometown today? When the scholar said this, the shopkeeper was happy: Oh, I can also interpret dreams. I think you must stay this time. Think about it, isn't it high to grow vegetables on the wall? Doesn't wearing a hat and an umbrella mean that you are prepared this time?
