1. Broken Arrow - If you don’t believe in your own will, you will never be a general.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a father and his son went to war. The father had done what he wanted. General, my son is just a pawn. Another horn sounded and the drums thundered. The father solemnly held up a quiver with an arrow in it. The father solemnly said to his son: "This is a treasured arrow from the family. It should be carried with you." "It has infinite power, but it must not be drawn out."

It was an extremely exquisite quiver, made of thick cowhide and inlaid with a faintly shining copper edge. Look at the exposed arrow tail. At a glance, one could tell that it was made of the finest peacock feathers. The son was delighted, and he greedily thought about the arrow shaft and the shape of the arrow. The sound of arrows whizzed past his ears, and the enemy's commander broke his horse and died at the sound.

Sure enough, the son armed with treasured arrows was heroic and invincible. When the horn sounded to withdraw troops, the son could no longer hold back the pride of victory and completely abandoned his father's instructions. His strong desire drove him to shout. He pulled out the treasure arrow and tried to see what happened. Suddenly he was stunned.

A broken arrow, and there was a broken arrow in the quiver.

I kept cutting They were fighting with only broken arrows! The son was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. It was like a house that suddenly lost its pillars, and his will suddenly collapsed.

The result is self-evident, the son died tragically in the rebel army.

Brushing away the misty smoke, my father picked up the broken arrow and spat heavily: "If you don't believe in your own will, you will never be a general."

Putting victory or defeat on a weapon How stupid it is to be on the treasure arrow, and how dangerous it is when a person gives the core and handle of his life to others! For example, putting his hope on his children; putting his happiness on his husband; and putting his life security on his work unit...

Otherwise, from From one eaves to that eaves, there is a width of more than ten feet in the middle. How did the first thread pull through? Later, I found that the spider took many detours - starting from one eaves, tying a knot, and going down the wall, one step at a time. Climb forward one step at a time, carefully raising the tail to prevent the silk from touching the sand, stones or other objects on the ground. Walk across the open space, then climb up to the eaves on the opposite side. The height is almost the same. Then tighten the silk, and do the same in the future. So.

Grandfather said: " Locusts are too impatient. Apart from struggling, they have never thought of biting the dragon with their mouths, nor do they know that they can crawl out from the other end by moving forward. Therefore, even though it has a claw-like mouth shell and jagged thighs, it cannot To no avail." When my grandfather put several green worms of the same size in through the faucet and then closed the faucet, a miracle happened: in just a few minutes, the little green worms crawled out of the dragon's tail one by one.

During the ten stops, there were many opportunities to provide seats in the flow up and down the dozen doors of the train; even if they thought of it, they did not have the patience to look for it. It was easy to find a small foothold in front of them. Most people are satisfied, but some people think it’s not worth it to carry their luggage and squeeze around for one or two seats. They are also worried that if they can’t find a seat, they won’t even have a good place to stand. It’s the same as in life. Some people who are content with the status quo and do not want to make progress and are afraid of failure will always be stuck at the starting point without success.

At this time, a thief came to his house and lurked under his roof, hoping to make some profit after the scholar went to bed. But after waiting and waiting, he didn't see him sleeping, but he still read the article over and over again. The thief was furious, jumped out and said, "What kind of book can I read at this level?" Then he recited the article and walked away!

A thief is very smart, at least smarter than Mr. Zeng, but he can only become a thief. But Mr. Zeng became a person even Chairman Mao Zedong admired: "The most powerful man in modern times."

"Diligence can make up for one's weakness." That thief's memory is really good. He can memorize articles he has heard several times. He is also very brave. He can actually dance when he sees others not sleeping. He came out "furious" and after teaching Mr. Zeng a lesson, he also endorsed and walked away. But unfortunately, he was not well-known. Mr. Zeng later hired a large number of talents. It is said that this thief had an acquaintance with Mr. Zeng. To give full play to his talents, it is a pity that his talent was not coupled with diligence, and he became in vain.

Let's join the team!" The wild wolf said nothing and continued to grind its teeth, making its teeth sharp and sharp. The fox asked strangely: "The forest is so quiet, the hunters and hunting dogs have gone home, and the tigers are not wandering around either. , and there is no danger, why do you grind your teeth so hard?" The wild wolf stopped and replied: "I don't grind my teeth for entertainment. Think about it, if one day I am chased by a hunter or a tiger, by that time, I will want to grind my teeth. It's too late. But I usually grind my teeth, and then I can protect myself."

Warm reminder: You should prepare for a rainy day and be prepared for danger in times of peace, so that you won't be in a hurry when danger suddenly strikes. ."It is only when the book is used that you regret it."

However, when the opportunity for promotion comes, they lament that they have not accumulated enough knowledge and ability, so they are not competent. , I have no choice but to regret it.

17. Dilemma is a gift - an obstacle is a new known condition. As long as you are willing, any obstacle will become an opportunity to transcend yourself.

One day, the lion, known as the king of the forest, came to God and said: "I am very grateful to you for giving me such a majestic and mighty body, such a powerful strength, so that I have enough ability to rule." This whole forest."

After hearing this, the god asked with a smile: "But this is not the reason why you came to me today! It seems that you are troubled by something!"

The lion roared softly and said: "God really understands me! I really came here today to ask for something. Because no matter how good my ability is,

Every day when the rooster crows, I am always startled awake by the rooster's crowing. God! Please give me strength so that I will no longer be woken up by the rooster's crowing!"

The god smiled and said: "Go find the elephant, it will give you a satisfactory answer."

The lion hurriedly ran to the lake to look for the elephant, but he had not seen the elephant yet. The lion quickly ran towards the elephant, only to see the elephant stomping its feet angrily.

The lion asked the elephant: "Why are you so angry?"

The elephant shook its big ears desperately and roared: "There is a nasty little mosquito that always wants to get into my ear." , It almost made me itchy to death."

The lion left the elephant and thought to himself: "It turns out that such a huge elephant is afraid of such a thin mosquito, so what else do I have? Why complain? After all, the cock crows only once a day, but mosquitoes harass the elephant all the time. Thinking about it this way, I am much luckier than him."

As the lion walked, he looked back at the elephant. The stomping elephant thought to himself: "God wants me to come and see the elephant's condition. He probably wants to tell me that everyone will be in trouble, and it cannot help everyone. In this case, I have to rely on myself." Anyway! Whenever the rooster crows from now on, I will treat it as a reminder that it’s time to get up. Thinking about it this way, is the rooster’s crow still good for me?”

Warm reminder: In life, No matter how smoothly we go on the road, as long as we encounter something bad, we will habitually complain that God has treated us badly, and then pray to God to give us more strength to help us tide over the difficulties. But in reality God is the fairest, just like it is to lions and elephants. Every dilemma has its positive value.

18. An eternal lesson - in the face of difficulties, many People wear a magnifying glass, but after fighting against difficulties, you will feel that the difficulties are nothing more than that.

The snowstorm that day was really stormy, and there seemed to be countless crazy monsters roaring and fighting outside. Snow was looking for it viciously. The target of the attack, the wind whined and searched everywhere.

Everyone was shouting coldly, and their thoughts on reading seemed to have been frozen. There was the sound of stamping feet in the whole room.

The noses were red. When Teacher Ouyang squeezed into the classroom, the wind that had been waiting for a long time swept in. The "Code for Middle School Students" on the wall rolled into the air like a joke, and fell down again.

The past The very gentle Teacher Ouyang was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic: his face was serious and solemn and even cold, just like the weather outside.

The noisy classroom fell silent, and we looked at Teacher Ouyang in surprise.

"Please put on rubber shoes, students, let's go to the playground."

Dozens of pairs of eyes are asking.

"Because we have to stand at attention on the playground for five minutes."

Even though Teacher Ouyang threatened, "If you don't take this class, you will never take my class", there were still a few delicate girls and a few very arrogant boys who did not leave the classroom.

The playground is in the northeast corner of the school, with an empty vegetable garden to the north and a large pond to the north.

That day, the playground, vegetable garden and pond were connected by snow into a whole.

The basketball stand, which was much shorter, was hit by snowballs. The snowballs that rolled up on the ground were so choking that people could not open their eyes or open their mouths. It looked like there were countless narrow knives on their faces. Pulling and paddling, our thick clothes were like iron and ice cubes, and our feet seemed to be stepping in icy water.

We crowded under the eaves of the classroom and refused to take half a step towards the playground.

p>

Teacher Ouyang didn’t say anything. He stood facing us, took off his down jacket, and took off half of the sweater. Feng Xue helped him finish the other half. "Go up on the playground and stand still!" Teacher Ouyang looked pale. , said to us word by word.

No one said a word. We went to the playground and lined up in three columns.

The skinny teacher Ouyang only wore one He was wearing a white lining, and the lining tightly wrapped around him made him look even thinner.

Later, we stood on the playground in a polite manner for more than five minutes.

While in the classroom, our classmates We all thought that we were no match for the snowstorm. In fact, if we asked them to stand for half an hour, they could withstand it.

Wearing only a shirt, they can withstand it.

Warm reminder: Just like many pains in life, it is not as serious as you think. If you don’t take it seriously, it is. It won’t hurt very much. If you feel pain, it’s because you think the wound hurts and you are afraid of the pain.

Lloyds Insurance Company finally decided to buy it back from the Netherlands based on its incredible experience and the considerable profits it brought in terms of premiums. Donated to the country. The ship is now moored in the National Ship Museum in Salon Port, England.

However, it was a lawyer who came here for sightseeing that made the ship famous. At that time, He had just lost a lawsuit, and his client committed suicide not long ago. Although this was not his first failed defense, nor was it the first suicide he encountered, however, whenever he encountered such a thing , he always felt a sense of guilt. He didn't know how to comfort these people who had suffered misfortune in the business world.

When he saw the ship at the Salen Ship Museum, he suddenly had an idea , why not let them visit the ship? So, he copied the history of the ship and hung it in his law office together with the photos of the ship. Whenever a client from the business community asked him to defend , regardless of winning or losing, he suggested that they go and see this ship.

It makes us know: no ship sailing on the sea is without injuries.

20. Are you in the well too? You must overcome the countercurrent in life to move to a higher level. The most important thing is The best thing is to always think highly of yourself.

One day, a farmer’s donkey accidentally fell into a dry well. The farmer racked his brains to find a way to rescue the donkey, but a few hours later, the donkey was still in the well. The donkey was wailing in pain.

Finally, the farmer decided to give up. He thought that the donkey was too old and it was not worth the trouble to rescue it. However, the well still needed to be rescued. Fill it up. So the farmer invited his neighbors to help bury the donkey in the well to save it from suffering.

The farmer's neighbors each had a shovel and began to shovel soil into the dry well. When the donkey learned about his situation, he cried miserably at first. But unexpectedly, the donkey calmed down after a while. The farmer curiously looked down at the bottom of the well, and the sight that appeared in front of him was shocking. He was shocked:

When the soil shoveled into the well fell on the donkey's back, the donkey's reaction was amazing - it shook the soil aside and then stood on top of the shoveled soil pile!

In this way, the donkey shook all the soil that everyone shoveled on it to the bottom of the well, and then stood up again. Soon, the donkey triumphantly rose to the mouth of the well, and then everyone was surprised. He ran away quickly with an expression on his face!
