Ten short stories of philosophy

A Buddha met a person who didn't like him during his journey. In the past few days, along the way, the man tried his best to pollute him. Finally, the Buddha turned to the man and asked, "If someone gives you a gift and you refuse to accept it, who does it belong to?" The man replied, "It belongs to the original gift giver." The Buddha smiled and said, "That's right. If I don't accept your insults, then you are cursing yourself? " The man touched his nose and left.

As long as the mind is healthy, what others think can't affect us. If we blindly care about other people's ideas or statements, we will lose our autonomy.

Story 2: Monkey's Persistence

In Asia, there is a trap to catch monkeys. They hollowed out coconuts, tied them with ropes, tied them to trees or fixed them to the ground. There is a small hole in the coconut and some food is put in the hole. The hole is so big that the monkey can only reach in with his bare hands, but not with his fists. So the monkey smelled the fragrance and put his hand in to catch the food. Naturally, a clenched fist can't shrink out of the hole. When the hunter comes, the monkey's fist can't stick out. No one catches the monkey, but he insists on it. As long as he lets go, he can retract it.

The desire in our hearts makes us unable to let go, and the desire and persistence in our hearts bind us. The only thing we have to do is to open our hands and let go of unnecessary persistence, so that we can feel at ease.

Story 3: A circle with a missing corner

There is a circle, and a big triangle wedge is cut off. I want to completely recover myself without any defects, so I look around for the missing parts. Because it is incomplete, you can only roll slowly, so you can enjoy flowers and trees, chat with caterpillars and enjoy the sunshine on the road. It looked for all kinds of fragments, and none of them were suitable, so it stayed on the side of the road and continued to look for them.

One day, the incomplete circle found a very suitable fragment. It happily put the fragments together and began to roll. Now it is a complete circle, and it can roll very fast, so fast that it can't notice the flowers and trees on the roadside and can't chat with caterpillars. It finally found that rolling too fast made the world it saw look completely different, so it stopped rolling, left the patched fragments on the side of the road and slowly rolled away.

Story 4: Master Performer

Before a master performer came on stage, his disciples told him that his shoelaces were loose. The master nodded his thanks and squatted down to tie it carefully. Disciple turned his back and squatted down to untie his shoelaces. A bystander saw all this and asked inexplicably, "Master, why did you untie your shoelaces again?" The master replied: "Because I play a tired traveler, I can show his fatigue and haggard through this detail by making his shoes loose after a long journey." "Then why don't you just tell your disciples?"

"He can carefully find that my shoelaces are loose and enthusiastically tell me that I must protect his enthusiasm and encourage him in time. As for why I untied my shoelaces, I will have more opportunities to teach him to perform in the future. I can talk about it next time. "

People can only do one thing at a time, and only by grasping the key points can they become real talents.

Story 5: parrot boss

A man went to buy a parrot and saw a sign in front of it: This parrot can speak two languages, 200 yuan. In front of another parrot, it was written: This parrot can speak four languages, and the price is 400 yuan. Which one should I buy? Both are shiny, very flexible and lovely. The man turned and couldn't make up his mind. Suddenly I found a parrot with a tooth missing. Its coat color is dim and messy, and its price is 800 yuan.

The man quickly called the boss: Can this parrot speak eight languages? The shopkeeper said, no, this person is very strange: then why is it so old, so ugly and so incompetent that it is worth this number? The shopkeeper replied: because the other two parrots call this parrot boss.

A true leader is not necessarily very capable. As long as he knows how to trust, decentralize and cherish, he can unite forces stronger than himself and thus improve his social status. On the contrary, many people with very strong abilities are too perfectionist and hands-on, and no one can match them. In the end, I can only be the best researcher and sales representative, but I can't be an excellent leader.
