Seeking inspirational stories to motivate work? Urgent, urgent, economic

1, a famous poet, has recently been unable to think hard and get out of the cage of thought, and wants to go outside to find inspiration. On this day, he went for a walk in the country. In the sun, he suddenly saw a sign hidden in the Woods, and the four characters were particularly eye-catching. The poet froze on the spot, thinking, what a meaningful word this is, which is definitely not what ordinary people can think of. So, he really wants to visit the master who wrote this beautiful word. When he approached the signboard, he found that the part of the signboard covered by trees read "Steel Products Factory".

2. In order to expand its business scale, a large company with fairly good benefits decided to recruit marketing executives with high salaries. As soon as the advertisement came out, the candidates gathered.

In the face of many applicants, the person in charge of recruitment said, "Horse racing is not as good as horse racing. In order to select high-quality talents, we set up a practical test: find ways to sell wooden combs to monks as much as possible. " [China Inspirational Network] Most applicants are puzzled and even angry: What's the use of becoming a monk with a wooden comb? Isn't it obvious to make fun of people? So they left one after another, and finally there were only three applicants, A, B and C. The person in charge told me, "Only 10 days, and then report the sales results to me."

Arrival 10. The person in charge asked A: "How many pieces do you sell?" Answer: "1." "How much is it?" A tells the story of his hard work, lobbying the monk to buy a comb, with little effect, and he was scolded by the monk. Fortunately, on the way down the mountain, he met a young monk who was scratching his scalp in the sun. A had a brainwave and handed over a wooden comb. The young monk was filled with joy after using it and bought one.

The person in charge asked B: "How much?" Answer: "10." "How much is it?" B said he went to a famous ancient temple. Due to the high mountains and strong winds, the pilgrim's hair was blown out of order. He went to the abbot of the temple and said, "It's disrespectful to the Buddha not to trim the edges. Put a wooden comb in front of the incense table in each temple for good men and women to comb their temples. " The abbot took his advice. There are ten temples on that mountain, so I bought a 10 wooden comb.

The person in charge asked C: "How many pieces are sold?" Answer: "1000." The person in charge was surprised and asked, "How much is it?" C said he went to a famous temple in the deep mountains, where incense was very strong. Pilgrims and donors are pouring in. C said to the abbot, "Visitors who come to pilgrimages have a pious heart. The temple should give something back as a souvenir, bless them with peace and good fortune, and encourage them to do more good deeds. I have a batch of wooden combs, and your handwriting is great. You can engrave the word' Jishan comb' as a gift. " The abbot was overjoyed and immediately bought the wooden comb of 1000. Donors and pilgrims who got the "Jishan comb" were also very happy. One spread ten, ten spread a hundred, pilgrims increased, incense more prosperous.

It sounds ridiculous to sell wooden combs to monks, but different thinking and different sales methods have different results. Developing new markets where others think it is impossible is the real master of marketing.

The famous columnist Sydney J Harris and his friends bought a newspaper at the newsstand. My friend politely said thank you to the newspaper vendor, but the newspaper vendor was cold-faced and didn't say a word.

"This guy has a bad attitude, right?" Harris asked as they walked on.

"He does this every night," said the friend.

"Then why are you so polite to him?" Harris asked him.

The friend replied, "Why should I let him decide my behavior?" "

He often thinks that if he can meet his boss one day, he will have a chance to show his talents! A's colleague B has the same idea. He went one step further and asked the boss when he got to and from work and figured out when he got into the elevator. He also took the elevator at this time, hoping to meet his boss and say hello.

Opportunities are only given to those who are prepared, and the word "preparation" is not just talk.

A water bearer has two buckets, one is cracked and the other is intact. After each long-distance transportation, the intact bucket can always send a full bucket of water from the stream to the owner's home, while the cracked bucket reaches the owner's home, leaving only half a bucket.

In the past two years, the water bearer has to carry a bucket and a half of water to his master's house every day. Of course, a good bucket is proud of being able to fill the whole bucket with water. Where's the broken bucket? He is ashamed of his shortcomings and sad that he can only take half the responsibility. [China Inspirational Network]

After two years of failure, the broken bucket finally couldn't help but say to the water bearer by the stream, "I am ashamed and must apologize to you." "Why?" The bearer asked, "Why are you ashamed?" "In the past two years, because my side has been leaking all the way, I can only send half a bucket of water to your host family. My defect made you do all the work, but only received half the effect. " Broken barrel said. The bearer felt sorry for the broken bucket. He said affectionately, "On our way back to our host's house, I want you to pay attention to the blooming flowers on the roadside."

Sure enough, when they walked on the hillside, the broken bucket lit up at the moment, and they saw colorful flowers, paved the road and bathed in the warm sunshine. This scene made him happy a lot! However, at the end of the path, it felt uncomfortable again, because it missed half of the water on the road! The broken bucket apologized to the bearer again. The water bearer said softly, "Have you noticed that there are only flowers on your path, but there are no flowers on the good bucket?" I know you have defects, so I make good use of them and plant flowers on your roadside. Every time I come from the stream, you water my flowers all the way! These beautiful flowers decorated the host's dining table for two years. If you weren't like this, there wouldn't be such beautiful flowers on the master's desk! "

6. A martial arts master knelt in front of him and accepted the hard-won black belt ceremony. After years of rigorous training, this apprentice finally got ahead in the Wulin. "Before giving you a black belt, you must take a test," said the martial arts master. "I am ready." The apprentice replied that it might be the last round of boxing practice. "You must answer the most basic question: What exactly does a black belt mean?" "It's the end of my martial arts." The apprentice replied, "This is the reward I deserve for my hard work." The Wulin master waited for him to say something more, obviously dissatisfied with the disciple's answer. Finally he said, "You haven't got the black belt yet. Come back in a year. "

A year later, the apprentice knelt in front of the master again. What is the real meaning of the black belt? "This is the symbol of the most outstanding and highest honor in martial arts." The apprentice said. The Wulin master waited and waited for several minutes, but the apprentice still didn't speak. Obviously, he is very dissatisfied. Finally he said, "You still haven't got the black belt. Come back in a year. "

A year later, the apprentice knelt in front of the master again, and the master asked, "What is the real meaning of a black belt?" "The black belt represents the beginning-the starting point of endless training, struggle and pursuit of higher standards." "Well, you can accept the black belt and start fighting."

7. One day, a farmer's donkey accidentally fell into a dry well. The farmer racked his brains to find a way to save the donkey, but several hours later, the donkey was still crying in the well. Finally, the farmer decided to give up. He thinks the donkey is too old to save it, but the well must be filled in anyway. So the farmer invited his neighbor to help him bury the donkey in the well to avoid its pain. The farmer's neighbor, with a shovel in his hand, began to shovel dirt into the dry well.

When the donkey realized his situation, it began to cry in pain. But surprisingly, the donkey was quiet after a while. The farmer looked curiously at the bottom of the well, and everything he saw surprised him: when the dirt shoveled into the well fell on the donkey's back, the donkey's reaction was amazing-it shook off the dirt and stood on the shoveled pile of dirt! In this way, the donkey shook off all the dirt that everyone shoveled on it at the bottom of the well and stood up. Soon, the donkey proudly rose to the wellhead, and then ran away with everyone's surprised expression!

Just like a donkey, in the journey of life, sometimes we will inevitably fall into a "dry well" and be dumped on us by various "sands". The secret of getting out of these "dry wells" is to shake off the "sediment" and then stand on it!

In fact, all kinds of difficulties and setbacks we encounter in life are "sand" imposed on us. However, from another perspective, they are also stepping stones. As long as we shake them off persistently and then stand up, we can get out of trouble safely even if we fall into the deepest well. At first, it seemed that the donkey was going to be buried alive, but because of its different attitude towards the environment, it actually helped it, which is also one of the factors that changed its fate. If we face difficulties with a positive and calm attitude, help is often hidden in the difficulties. Everything depends on yourself, learn to let go of all gains and losses, and move forward bravely towards your own ideals. We should constantly build confidence, hope and unconditional love, which are tools to help us get out of the dry well of life and find ourselves.

Please keep in mind the following five secrets of happiness: 1 Don't have the idea of hatred. Don't let worry pollute your heart. 3. Simple life. 4. Share more. 5. Less desire.

8. A boy mowing others' grass called a Mrs. Chen and said, "Do you need mowing?" Mrs. Chen replied, "No, I have rented a lawn mower." The boy added, "I will help you pull out the weeds in the flowers." Mrs. Chen replied, "I have done my lawn mower, too." The boy added, "I'll help you cut the grass around the aisle." Mrs. Chen said, "The person I invited has already done it. Thank you. I don't need a new lawn mower. " The boy hung up the phone. At this time, the boy's roommate asked him, "Aren't you mowing the grass at Mrs. Chen's house?" Why are you calling this number? The boy said, "I just want to know how I did!" " "

Moral: Only by constantly asking customers' comments can we know our own advantages and disadvantages. Don't follow the rules, think clearly about what happened and ask why.

9. Quebec, Canada has a north-south valley. [China Inspirational Network] There is nothing special about the valley. The only thing that can attract people's attention is that its west slope is covered with pine, cypress, Ligustrum lucidum and other trees, while its east slope is only cedar. Many people don't know the mystery of this strange scenery, but it was a couple who solved it.

It was the winter of 1993, and the couple's marriage was on the verge of breaking up. In order to find their old love, they plan to take a romantic trip. If you can find it, move on, or break up amicably. When they came to the valley, it snowed heavily. They set up their tents and watched the heavy snow flying all over the sky. They found that due to the special wind direction, the snow on the east slope is always bigger and denser than that on the west slope. Soon, a thick layer of snow fell on the cedar. However, when the snow accumulates to a certain extent, the elastic branches of cedar will bend down until the snow falls off the branches. This repeated product, repeated product, repeated bending, repeated falling, the cedar is intact. But other trees, because they don't have this ability, their branches are crushed. The wife found this landscape and said to her husband, "Dongpo must have grown on a miscellaneous tree, but it was destroyed by heavy snow because it could not be bent." After a while, the two suddenly understood something and hugged each other.

We are under pressure from all sides in our life, which will eventually be unbearable for us. At this time, we need to bend down like cedar. Only by unloading the heavy burden can we stand up straight again and avoid being crushed. Bending is not bending or failure, but an elastic way of life and an art of life.

10, the stunt troupe has a new disciple. The coach started teaching by walking a tightrope. When practicing, this address always falls down without taking a few steps, and it is the same after repeated practice. Finally, he sat down on the ground in frustration. The coach came over and patted his apprentice on the shoulder and said, "Falling down is the prerequisite for stability." Hearing this, the disciple climbed up again to practice. The coach is urging: "Go, go until you forget the existence of the steel wire, forget it, and you will really learn."

Life is full of accidents. We must walk on the tightrope with a smile and our heads held high. If we hadn't fallen deeply, we would have stood up again. When we don't care about "accidents" or "falls". We can walk more steadily than others.
