Toilet inspirational story

A collection of inspirational stories in the toilet

Just after work this day, the mobile phone rang, a strange number. Next, there was a familiar local accent. After guessing for a long time, he smiled and said, Lei, I'm your brother Chun. ...

In an instant, my memory woke up like a crack. Brother Chun is ten years older than me and the same age as my uncle. When I was a child, I remember that he used to ride an old bicycle and carry dried sweet potatoes to the town to ask his uncle to study. When I was in junior high school, he was married and had children, and he rushed to repair the soil with ox carts every day.

Probably the year before last, I went home for the New Year. It is said that Brother Chun is taking advantage now. There are four buildings in Tianjin alone.

When I got a call from Brother Chun, I was half excited and half curious. According to his instructions, he soon came to the hotel to meet.

Halfway through the wine, Brother Chun told me that he had received a project in this city, which would take at least half a year, so he had to meet all the people in the village first, so that he could take care of them. Brother Chun's kindness moved me very much. Seeing that I was interested in the history of his "rise", Brother Chun opened his heart. ...

10 years ago, Brother Chun was no different from the migrant workers who came out of the village. He does odd jobs in Tianjin, and with a poor bricklayer's skill, he barely maintains his family life all year round. One day, when he came back from work, he felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't find the toilet anywhere, so he had to bow his head in the holly bushes on the side of the road. No sooner had he put on his trousers than a chengguan-looking man patted him on the shoulder and handed him a hundred-dollar ticket. He struggled to run, but was held down. One hundred yuan is equivalent to staying in Bai Zi for three days. For several days, Brother Chun didn't dare to drink water when he went out to work.

That winter, Brother Chun decorated a small door and there was no bathroom in the shop. The landlord told him that it would be convenient to go to the hotel opposite. Brother Chun didn't even enter a five-star hotel, so he asked, What if the doorman wouldn't let him in? The landlord said. Put on your work clothes, and no one will stop you. Brother Chun still dare not go. I can't help it. The landlord took him there.

Brother Chun followed gingerly. Just arrived at the door, the dignified doorman opened the door for them with a big smile and said welcome. After coming out of the toilet, they sat on the leather sofa and smoked for a while, but no one came to kick them out. The stone hanging in Brother Chun's heart finally fell. Walking out of the hotel, Brother Chun "feels much straighter".

From then on, Brother Chun was never afraid of finding the toilet. Hotels, office buildings and McDonald's can walk in generously by pushing the door open.

In the fourth year of working, the small contractor who took them to work took a fatter job and wanted to subcontract this ditch digging "chicken rib project". A large group of people who don't want to take over are afraid to worry. That night, Brother Chun called the little contractor and asked him to meet him in a four-star hotel. Brother Chun tidied up neatly that day. Under the resplendent light, Brother Chun decisively ordered the dining tables. In this way, Brother Chun successfully got his first job and earned 20,000 yuan at the end of the year.

Since then, Brother Chun has moved to the suburbs, gradually getting bigger and bigger, and later bought a house and a car in Tianjin. ...

Brother Chun said that with self-confidence, you have the motivation to do things, and others are willing to cooperate with you and help you. In my first two years in this city, I just worked hard, but I couldn't make any money because I didn't have any ideas. Once you broaden your horizons, your thinking will change-just like when you first entered the city, you were looking for a corner, but now you just need to walk into a high-end place and someone will open the door. In fact, he doesn't know how much money we have in our pockets, but that energy is not to be underestimated. What do people live for? Isn't it the same smell?

The choice between dream and bread

"Miss Wu, I'm not being unreasonable. My misfortune, alas, is all your fault."

After the speech, a young lady came up to me and said. For a while, I was in a trance. ...

"Well, my husband is your reader. Male ... used to be an office worker. Suddenly one day, he resigned and said that he would pursue his dreams, do what he wanted and pursue his life like you. "

"What about the result?"

She said: "Up to now, he has been unemployed for two years. At first, he actively developed his interests and took courses such as photography and sketching. Later, he didn't see what he had learned, what expertise he had cultivated, or where his dream was. Now, every day I only see him chatting with netizens online, drinking afternoon tea, singing KTV and staying up until midnight ... My family only depends on me. I am also a reasonable person, afraid to talk about him, hurt his big man's self-esteem, or become a killer who hinders his dreams. I think if he goes on like this, he will only be more and more divorced from society and family. What should I do? " Say that finish, and with a heavy sigh.

Her question is really tricky. At the moment when she sighed, a heavy sense of guilt weighed on me. I don't think I'm completely right.

I often write the words "chasing dreams" when I sign my autograph. For me, chasing a dream and chasing it in time is my attitude towards life. I always hope that in the limited time of life, we can have fewer shortcomings and more sense of accomplishment and happiness. The mistake is that I didn't explain the word "chasing dreams" enough. "Pursuing dreams" has its complexity in practice, especially when dreams conflict with bread.

Chasing dreams can always make a heart shine. However, since ancient times, there have always been some contradictions between dreams and bread.

I know several friends who are good at drawing. They used to work in well-paid newspapers and advertising companies, and later they all decided to leave the track of office workers and go back to being painters. At this time, I will never throw cold water on them with "painting can't be eaten as food", but I will also wish them "follow their dreams." Facts have proved that they can all draw a world with their own talents.

I don't think dreams must be against bread. I just want to pursue my dream, but many people have won bread with their dreams.

Of course, sometimes we are gambling with reality, and we always have to rely on luck. Bad luck. Maybe like Van Gogh? I couldn't even sell a painting before my death, and I died of depression.

No, Fan? High luck is not bad. He also has a posthumous title, and it is a resounding posthumous title, which is not a good memorial tablet that every artistic creator can enjoy. There are countless painters who have been painting all their lives, but they were poor before their death and did not occupy a place in art history after their death, so they were completely forgotten.

Chasing dreams is a gamble in itself, but it is not a simple gamble. The higher your talent, the more comprehensive your ideas, the impeccable your skills, the more experienced you are, the harder you work, or the better your popularity, the better your chances of winning.

Everyone has a different chance to win.

Only you can judge whether it is worth it or not. If you win, you usually thank many people who appreciate yourself, but if you lose, there is no reason to blame others. In any case, I believe that people have the determination to pursue their dreams, because we should do something meaningful in life. Although others may make some "caring" noises to hinder the dream catcher's will, we are responsible for our own life. The question is, are you pursuing a dream, an ideal, or just a daydream?

It's not that I haven't poured cold water on others, because everyone's situation is different.

"Do you think I should quit my job and become a professional writer?" A bank clerk once asked me, "I just want to write at home." Printing books is like printing money, which is better than being a passing god in the bank now. "

"How many years have you decided to write? Have you started writing? " I asked.

"I'm too busy now. I'm going to quit my job and start writing. " He said: "I used to write a good composition and was praised by the teacher."

"I think you'd better think about it." I can't help but say, "Because writing is not as simple as you think." I admire dreamers who decide to quit after affirming their dreams, but I am afraid of delusions who want to test their dreams after quitting. Because the latter thinks too simply and does too hastily, the possibility of realizing his dream is really too small.

If you really love writing, you don't have to wait until you quit. 99% people wait until they quit their jobs to write or wait until they quit their jobs to study a certain major, all of which are looking for excuses to avoid a certain obstacle in life, instead of really pursuing their dreams. Such people will become cynical only after their dreams are lost; Spending too much time being cynical will accomplish nothing.

Everyone can write Chinese characters, so everyone will find writing easier. This analogy is easier to understand. We can't quit our jobs because we dream of becoming a violinist.

This photographer is a successful electronic upstart. When he gets a huge bonus every year, his photos have a unique style. A friend who becomes a painter is already a good painter when he is an office worker.

Successfully open a coffee shop or restaurant, don't learn business guidance before opening a shop, and then go to cooking class to make up for it. They have spent years investigating and trying, and they are as conscientious as Shennong Pinbaicao. No one who successfully pursues dreams is successful in "one thought".

I don't know how much wisdom and ability I have accumulated before thinking about it. When most people come home from work, watch TV, sleep and talk on the phone, these real dream catchers are still trying to dig wells for themselves in order to have fresh water to drink in the future. We only figured out how much bread he could get after his success, but we accidentally ignored their sweat.

I never thought that I could pursue my dreams and cultivate my expertise wholeheartedly when I quit my job. Take myself as an example. In fact, I never wanted to be a professional writer. I have been living on a job for many years. This is because in the past, my elders often advised me that "a writer can't be a meal", so I decided to write even if writing can't get any bread. I have to have a fixed salary in order to support myself.

National toilet guide

In Australia, it is as simple for an adult to drive a car as it is for an China person to ride a bicycle. One of the important reasons is that it is easier to get a driver's license.

The procedure of the exam is divided into two steps: the first step. Traffic knowledge test, that is, the applicant obtains the driving study permit through the written test; Step two. Road test, that is, learn to drive on the road, and then get a driver's license through the road test. If candidates are found cheating, they are not allowed to apply again within 6 weeks.

The traffic common sense test is conducted by computer, with a total of 300 questions. Each candidate chooses 45 of them, and only 4 1 is passed. The examination questions are not open, and candidates must read the road use manual first.

China tourists who have been to Australia will be full of praise for the traffic maps of major cities, because these maps are extremely detailed and accurate, and they are updated every year, providing a very reliable travel guide for foreign tourists.

In addition to traffic maps, there are more practical maps in Australia. It is a "toilet map", indicating the location and opening hours of public toilets all over the country.

The idea of drawing a "toilet map" was put forward in 1999. This year is the International Year of Older Persons. Many elderly people and disabled people appealed to the government, hoping to print a map specifically introducing public toilets, and hope that the map can indicate the opening hours of toilets and whether there are facilities needed by disabled people to facilitate their travel. Therefore, the Department of Senior Citizens Affairs of the Australian Federal Government decided to draw a map marked with public toilets.

In order to draw this special map, the cartographic experts of the Australian Geographic Information Service Company spent a lot of time. Because in addition to indicating the exact location of public toilets all over the country. They also need to know about public toilets. For example, in the northern administrative region. Some toilets can only be used for half a year, and will be flooded in the other half of the rainy season: some toilets will be closed on weekends and holidays; Some toilets are only open at certain times every day; There are also some toilets for safety reasons, the doors are generally locked, and you must go to the designated place to get the key. All these situations must be explained on the map. In addition, cartographers have specially marked the locations of gas stations, restaurants and shopping centers in various places, because people are usually used to going to those places to go to the toilet.

After the unremitting efforts of cartographic experts, this "toilet map" was finally drawn. At present, this map indicating the location and opening hours of more than 65,438+03,000 public toilets in Australia has been opened to the public on the Internet. Anyone who wants to find a public toilet in a certain area, even a street or a park, can see it at a glance with a mouse. You can download it if you need it.

Although the purpose of drawing "Toilet Map" is to provide convenience for the elderly and disabled people in Australia, it can also provide services for tourists and people who need this information.

Pursue your dreams in different ways.

On February 20 12, a news from Weibo attracted people's attention. A security guard of Tencent Company, after several rounds of interviews, finally became an engineer of Tencent Research Institute. This Weibo was forwarded more than 20,000 times in a short time, and soon this Weibo was confirmed and forwarded by Tencent CEO Ma, and this security section was also called "20 12 inspirational brother".

Duan is a security guard, only 24 years old. 20 1 1 graduated from Luoyang normal university with a double degree in computer and business administration. After graduation, Duan came to Beijing with the dream of becoming an IT engineer. But what Duan didn't expect was that it was not easy to find a suitable job in Beijing. After Duan hit a wall several times, his life was in trouble. Finally, Duan decided to find a quick job, first based in Beijing, and it happened that Tencent Beijing Research Institute was recruiting security guards, so Duan came to Tencent Beijing Research Institute and became a security guard.

Although life has settled down temporarily, Duan has not given up his ideal. After work, Duan will take out books about computers and continue his studies. He knows that his ideal is to be an IT engineer. However, when studying hard, he did not forget his job, but actively did his job. In the bulletin board at the entrance of Tencent Beijing Research Institute, you can often see some warm reminders made by Duan, such as "The weather will change tomorrow, pay attention to adding clothes" and "Go back and have a good rest after working overtime so late today" ...

Soon the employees of Tencent Beijing Research Institute knew that there was a special security guard in the security guard of the Institute, and they also liked chatting with this security guard. Duan didn't feel inferior because he was a security guard. Instead, I took the initiative to chat with my colleagues about computer topics, and soon I became familiar with most employees of Tencent Research Institute.

Just in June 5438+10 this year, Hidi urgently needed a group of external employees for a project. She knew Duan was reading books on computers for a long time, so she asked him half jokingly, "Do you want to help us outsource data labeling?" This is a basic work, which mainly requires proficiency in computer operation and sensitivity to data. To Hidi's surprise, one afternoon a few days later, Duan found her and said that she had officially resigned and could come to help her with the data annotation.

After the interview, Duan successfully became an external employee of Tencent, responsible for some data sorting and data operation. Because the work involves the external testing of Tencent products, Duan used his rest time to find friends and classmates to experience the products and has been active in the testing QQ group organized by himself. Hidi was very satisfied with his work, and began to give him some product work consciously, so that he could pave the way for his future career planning by contacting product design, and at the same time, he also looked for opportunities for him to participate in some internal training.

Duan successfully completed the work entrusted to him by Hidi, and Duan's work made Hidi very satisfied. Therefore, she suggested Duan go to the graduate school to apply for a job. After several rounds of interviews, Duan finally became an engineer at Tencent Research Institute.

Now Duan is the man of the hour in the team. Although more and more people know his story, he still keeps a clear understanding of himself, knows that he still has a lot to learn, and is prone to make some arrogant mistakes. On Duan's workstation, there are various post-it notes with work tasks and inspirational contents: "communicate with colleagues more and ask for advice from seniors" and "browse industry information for at least 30 minutes every day; Send an innovative Weibo every day; Send an in-depth blog post every month "and so on.

Netizens all called Duan "inspirational brother", but Duan did not relax because of this. Many netizens in his Weibo asked him questions. What kept him pursuing his dream? Duan said: Because of dreams, many people may think it is an illusory word, but I know it very well. I also thought about giving up, but I didn't give up my dream, but gave up the way I am working hard now and pursued my dream in another way.

Everyone has a dream, but not every dream can come true. Sometimes when our dreams can't be realized and we want to give up, we should think that giving up should not be our dreams, but the way we work hard. Perhaps this is the best inspiration from this inspirational brother.

Motto of "post-90 s"

First, "believe in yourself first, and then others will believe in you." There is no shortage of sunshine, water and fertilizer in the greenhouse after 1990, so after 1990, it directly entered the mature stage before it was green. They dare to love and hate, they don't have everything, they don't look forward to the future, they must take the road they see. "I am the master of my youth" is an attitude and an improvement.

Second, "being a man, your temper can't be bigger than your ability." Most young people have a temper now. A little temper is not terrible, but you can't be without skill. If your temper is bigger than your ability, you are not welcome anywhere. Fortunately, many "post-90 s" understand this truth, and they will learn from it first and then temper it.

Third, "take it calmly, lose it indifferently, strive for its inevitability, and let nature take its course." Not only the post-90 s, post-80 s, post-70 s, and even post-60 s need such a calm. Remember what should be remembered, forget what should be forgotten, change what can be changed, and accept what cannot be changed. Only by letting nature take its course can we remain calm in the gains and losses of advance and retreat.

Fourth, "the sky never left a trace of birds, but I flew over." This is a famous poem by Indian poet Tagore. The original intention is to focus on the process, not the result. I saw two post-90s college students writing articles on this topic on the Internet. One said, "As long as you struggle, life will be wonderful." One said, "The hardest thing in the world is happiness."

Fifth, "you can't succeed, but you can't help growing." Success takes time and space. For the post-90s generation, growth is more urgent than success. The growth mode chosen by "post-90 s" is to meet the challenge without thinking; Give me sunshine, and I will be brilliant; Let me blossom and I will bear fruit.

Sixth, "there is no rehearsal in life, and every day is live broadcast." No one has seen two identical leaves, and no one can step into the same river. The characteristic of "live broadcast" is that many viewers remember it after watching it, and remember your mistakes when watching your right. If you don't make a fool of yourself, you should make fewer mistakes.

Seventh, "You can't push it down in front of Shushan, and you can't hide after Xue Hai." Don't say "book is the ladder of human progress", don't say "book is the treasure house of encyclopedic knowledge", book is a mountain, no matter you are a foolish old man or a wise man, you should try your best to move it. Because it not only restricts your interests and ideals, but also determines your destiny and future.

Eighth, "there is no god-like opponent, only a pig-like teammate." Watching teenagers play football is always a mess, either blaming their opponents or their teammates. It is good to despise your opponent. But after losing, you can't blame your teammates. Otherwise, you call him "pig" and he calls you "pig". Does everyone become a "pig"?

Ninth, "I am a cactus, so I can live in it." You said college, I went; You speak a foreign language, and we have learned it; You said computer, we practiced; You say the car, we drive; You said big cities, we have been there. No matter how high the mountain is, I dare to climb it; There is little water. Let's save it. You can spread your wings like an eagle or live like an ant.

Tenth, "Don't be afraid of the future, because there is still a future." Tom Zhang has a song called "My future is not a dream". Why do you say "not a dream"? Because "live every minute carefully". In fact, each of us is "beating with hope" in our hearts. Of course, the "post-90 s" are lucky, and the beautiful times have brought them a bright future.

Do it if you want, there is no reason.

As a reporter, I am used to asking more "why" when facing anyone and anything.

Not long ago, I interviewed a British doctor who was originally a teacher in an art school. His name is Gefa Square. He works in three-dimensional animation in London, and many of his classmates make a lot of money in Hollywood.

Such a person accidentally watched a Beijing opera performance, and the whole person was fascinated by Beijing opera. He stopped teaching and studying for a doctorate, leaving his family and career to study Peking Opera in Beijing. People don't believe the charges of leg press, kicking, bending over and supporting the top. People asked gefa, "why can't you do that?" Why do you have to come to China to sing? "

Gefa is very strange: "Peking Opera is very beautiful, your national quintessence, so I am here." This reason is not convincing at all.

I interviewed him and asked him for a "statement" that would convince the readers. I asked him, "Brother Fa, your life was so good before, but now your life is so bitter. Are you willing to live like this? " "Of course I do." Gefa was surprised, as if my question was not only redundant, but also unreasonable. "Then why did you ..." "There is no reason. Willingly is why ... "

Another time, I interviewed "post-80s" pony. He once lived a good life in the city, but one day he returned to his hometown desert to plant trees. A variety of trees can keep out the wind and sand, but he has a hard life. After the interview, I wrote a manuscript, and my colleague read it and said, "Well ... very touching ... just a little ... why did he do it?"

Looking back on my conversation with him, he didn't seem to mention why. When chatting with him, I brought up this topic again. He said, "Why do you always ask why?" I froze, too. The so-called "cause and effect", everything in the world, has a cause. But he said, "There is really no reason. Not for ideals, nor for realizing the value of life, nor for making the course of life colorful. If I work hard and achieve this one day, it will be later. Before, I didn't think about anything, I just did it. "

It seems that there are always some people, like Gefa and Pony-who appear in our field of vision but live outside our world, which is puzzling. They have impacted our common sense and values of life, and often make us wonder: "What? Is that all right? "

They just do it and don't care about the result. Do it as an advertisement says.

There is a kind of life that is not so utilitarian, just do what you want, there is no reason. As for the result, sooner or later.
