Chapter 429: Philosophy of Life

1. The blind man makes a lantern

Life philosophy that benefits people a lot. A blind man came to his relative's house to visit. After dark, his relative kindly lit a lantern for him and said, "It's late, the road is dark. You can call a lantern and go home!" The blind man said in a furious manner: "You know that I am blind, but you still call a lantern for me to shine on the road. Aren't you laughing at me?" His relative said, "You have made the mistake of limiting thinking. You are walking on the road, and many people are walking on the road. When you are walking on the road, you are walking on the lanterns and others can see you, and you will not bump you into it." The blind man thought, yes! The first section of the story reminds us that limited thinking is thinking from one's own perspective, and overall thinking is that you put yourself in the entire environment to consider. If you think about problems systematically, you will interact with others.

2, Columbus' eggs

After Columbus appeared in America, many people thought that Columbus was just a coincidence that anyone else could do it as long as he had his luck. So, at a grand banquet, a nobleman said to him: "Mr. Columbus, we all know that America is there, and you just happened to go up first! If we go, we will also show up."

Faced with the blame, Columbus was calm. He had a sudden inspiration and picked up an egg on the table and said to everyone: "Sir, ladies and gentlemen, who can stand the egg on the table? Who can do it?"

Everyone was eager to try, but they all fell into defeat. Columbus smiled slightly, picked up the egg, and gently knocked it on the table, and then stood the egg there. Columbus then said, "Yes, it's that simple. It's really not difficult to see America, just as easy as setting up this egg. But, everyone, who did it again before I stood up?"

Innovation is essentially a welcome attitude towards new ideas, new angles and new changes, and it is also manifested as a new perspective of looking at problems. Many times, people will say, is this considered innovation? It turns out that I know too! Innovation is that simple, the key is whether you dare to think or be willing to do it.

3. Frog phenomenon

Someone did an experiment. When the frog was put into a pot of hot water, the frog would jump out immediately and react quickly when it encountered a drastic change. But if the frog was put into cold water and slowly heated the water, you would find that the frog would swim comfortably in the water at the beginning. The temperature of the water in the pot was slowly rising, and it was still feeling warm and happy. Once the temperature rose by 7 o ~ 8 o degrees, it felt threatening and wanted to jump out, but it was too late. Because its legs were out of control and could not jump up again, and in the end it had to be boiled to death. This is the story of boiling a frog in warm water.

First, changes in the overall environment can determine our success and failure. Changes in the overall environment are sometimes invisible. We must pay attention to it all the time, learn more, be alert, and welcome changes so that it will not be too late. Second, a too comfortable environment is the most dangerous moment. A lifestyle that is very accustomed to may be your most dangerous lifestyle. Continuous innovation, break the old patterns, and believe that everything will be improved. Third, to be able to be aware of small changes in trends, you must "stop" to think from different angles, and learning is the best way to change.

4. The fate of wall-building workers

Three workers were building a wall. Someone came over and asked, "What are you doing?" The first person said angrily, "Didn't you see it? Build a wall." The second person looked up and smiled, saying, "We are building a tall building." The third person hummed a song while doing it, and his smile was very bright and happy: "We are building a new city." One year later, the first person built a wall on another construction site; the second person sat in the office to draw drawings, and he became an engineer; the third person was the boss of the first two people. The ordinary work you had at hand was actually the beginning of a big career. Can you realize this mean whether you can do a big career?

5. Nails

There was a bad-tempered boy, and his father gave him a bag of nails. He told him that whenever he was angry, he would nail a nail on the fence in the backyard. On the first day, the boy nailed 37 nails. Gradually, the number of nails laid down every day decreased, and he now controlled his temper easier than those nails. So, one day, the boy would never lose patience and get angry. He told his father about this. The father also said that now, whenever he could control his temper, he would pull out a nail. Day by day passed, and finally the boy told his father that he finally pulled out all the nails.

The father held his hand and came to the backyard and said, "You did a great job, my good boy, but look at the holes in the fences. These fences will never return to what they used to be. What you say when you are angry leaves scars like these nails. If you stab someone with a knife, no matter how many times you say sorry, that wound will always exist. The pain of words is as unbearable as real pain."

People often cause eternal harm because of some stalemates that cannot be let go. If we can all start with ourselves and start to look at others with tolerance, we believe that you will definitely receive many unexpected results. Opening a window for others is to let ourselves see a more complete sky.

6. Two monks

Two monks lived in temples on two adjacent mountains respectively. There was a stream between the two mountains. The two monks would go down the mountain to fetch water at the same time every day. Five years had passed unknowingly. Suddenly one day, the monk on the mountain on the left did not go down the mountain to fetch water. The monk on the right thought, "He probably overslept." So he disagreed. However, the monk on the mountain on the left did not go down the mountain to fetch water. The monk on the third day was the same. Until a month later, the monk on the mountain on the right thought, "My

My friend may be sick." So he climbed up the mountain on the left to visit his old friend. When he saw his old friend practicing Tai Chi in front of the temple, he asked curiously: "You haven't gone down the mountain to carry water for a month. Can you not drink water?" The monk from the mountain on the left pointed to a well and said: "For the past five years, after I finished my homework every day, I have taken time to dig this well. Now, I finally let me dig out the water, so I don't have to go down the mountain to carry water. I can have more time to practice the Tai Chi I like."

We often forget to seize the time after get off work, dig a well of our own, and cultivate our strength on the other hand. In this way, when we get older in the future, we will still have water to drink and drink leisurely.

7. Learn to give up

Two people made an appointment to go up the mountain to find exquisite stones. A carries a full basket, and there is only one stone in B's basket that he thinks is the most exquisite. A laughs B: "Why do you only pick one?" B said: "Although there are many beautiful stones, I only choose the most exquisite one." A smiled without saying a word. On the way down the mountain, A felt the burden was getting heavier and heavier. In the end, he had to pick the worst one from the basket of stones and threw it down. When he went down the mountain, he only had one stone left in his basket!

There are many things in life that are worth nostalgic about, and sometimes you should learn to give up.

8. Look down at the road

That summer, Xiaopang and his father went to see their grandparents. On the way, they had to walk thirty miles and cross a high ridge. After walking for more than two hours, they were still on the beam. Looking at the endless front, Xiaopang refused to step. His father ordered majesticly: "Don't look forward, look down at the road, and you will arrive after you get off the ridge." There was no way, Xiaopang had to follow him in a bad mood. However, after this, Xiaopang no longer looked at the distance again and again, but looked down at the road below, constantly admiring the stones and flowers and plants of various shapes along the road, and walked to his grandparents' house without realizing it.

When you advance to a big goal, you might as well break this goal into countless small goals that are visible in front of you. The reason is very simple: a person who is paying attention to the distance must first learn to pay attention to the present.

9. The unchangeable truth

One year, a professor at the famous Harvard University in the United States once gave a test question to a freshman who had just entered the school: What is one plus one equal? ​​After the students burst into laughter, they thought: Such a simple question can even be of three years old. It seems that there must be other profound meanings. So 85% of the students did not give answers, 5% of the students answered "three". As for the remaining 10% of the students, the answers were varied.

So, the professor announced the final answer: "Two!" After the students looked at each other, the professor said meaningfully: "One plus one equals two, this is an unchanging truth. It cannot and will not change due to changes in external factors."

In fact, many things in the world have a virtual appearance, which depends on how we treat them.

1o, the eyes of the wise

The radio station invited a business genius to be the guest host. Everyone really hoped to listen to him talk about the road to success. But he just smiled faintly and said, "Let's give a question to test everyone." "A gold mine appeared in a certain place, and people rushed there, but a big river blocked the necessary path. What would you do?" Some people said, "Take a detour", and some said, "Swim over". The business genius smiled and said, "Why have to go to gold hunting, why can't you buy a boat to operate?" Everyone was stunned. The business genius said, "In that case, if the ferrymen were left with only a pair of shorts, they would be willing to do it. Because there is a gold mine in front!"

Doing what others don’t want to do and what others never do is the way to success. Dilemma often means a potential opportunity in the eyes of wise people.

11. Monks share porridge

There were too many monks and too little porridge. Whenever it was time for dinner, the monks rushed over, and the porridge that was already pitiful was squeezed over. Everyone was hungry.

The monks recommended an elder to divide the porridge. The person who divides the porridge is very powerful. In order to divide the porridge more, some monks began to flatter and play with each other. In addition, the relationship between them is usually thick and thin. The person who divides the porridge divides the porridge more and the less.

The monk who was too hungry to bear suggested taking turns to share porridge. Now it’s good. It’s his turn to stay half dead, and others are so hungry that they are so hungry.

The abbot Yunyou came back and decided that one of the monks would be given full authority to distribute the porridge. No other differences were allowed, but the person who distributed the porridge finally took the porridge. From then on, the monks ate hot porridge equally.
