Daily Essay: The Best Education in Life

After failing the college entrance examination, he and my brother went to work in a coastal port city.

The city is so beautiful that it is not enough to have a strong eye. Brother Ben said, not bad? Very strong, not bad. My brother says it's not bad, but it's not our own home, and people look down on us. I insist that I should respect myself.

Qiang and my brother are mending tarpaulins in a warehouse on the dock. Qiang is very capable and meticulous in his work. When he sees the discarded thread rags, he will pick them up for later use.

That night, the wind suddenly blew, forced me out of bed and rushed into the rain curtain. My brother couldn't persuade him and called him a fool.

In the open-air warehouse, I checked piles after piles to reinforce the overturned tarpaulin. By the time the boss drove over, he had become a plumber. The boss saw that the stored materials were not damaged at all and wanted to give him a raise on the spot. He said no, I just wanted to see if the tarpaulin I repaired was reliable.

Seeing that he is so honest, the boss wants to be the manager of another company for him. Qiang said, I can't, let people with high academic qualifications do it. The boss said I think you can do it!

Strong became the manager.

The company has just started business and needs to recruit several young people with college education or above as salesmen, so it advertised in the newspaper. When my brother heard the news, he said that he would find a good job. Insist that you can't Brother Ben said, can't you watch the gate? Qiang said, no, you won't think of this as your home. My brother turned purple and scolded: You really have no conscience. I insist that it is conscience to do your own thing well.

The company has teamed up with several young people with diplomas, and the business is booming. A few days later, when those young people with higher education knew about him, they were afraid and said, with our education, how can we be with him? Qiang was not annoyed when he knew it, and said, since we are working together, let's get things done. Anyone can wear my manager's hat, but the value is not in this hat ...

The college students looked at each other and fell silent.

Foreign businessmen have heard that this company has a bright future and want to discuss a cooperation project. Qiang's assistant said, this is a big fish, and we have to treat it well. Insist, yes.

A foreign businessman, a foreign China, came with an interpreter and a secretary.

Ask in English, sir, can you speak Chinese?

That foreign businessman is stupefied, say, OK. Just say, shall we speak in our mother tongue?

Foreign businessmen say "yes". After chatting for a while, Qiang said, how about having dinner together? The foreign businessman nodded hesitantly.

Dinner is simple, but it is very distinctive. All the plates have been eaten, only two steamed buns are left. Qiang said to the waiter, please put these two steamed buns in a food bag and I'll take them away.

Although it was natural, his assistant became nervous and kept looking at the foreign businessman. The foreign businessman stood up, grabbed a strong hand and held it tightly, saying, OK, we will sign the contract tomorrow!

After the job was done, the boss gave a banquet to entertain foreign businessmen, and Qiang and his assistant went. During the dinner, the foreign businessman asked Qiang softly, What education have you received? Why can you do it so well?

I insist that my family is poor and my parents can't read. But their education for me started with a grain of rice and a thread. Later, when my father died, my mother worked hard to pay for my education. She said, I don't expect you to be superior. If you do your own thing well, you will definitely win …

Bright liquid oozed from the boss's eyes on the side. He took a glass of wine and said, I propose a toast to her old man's house-you have the best education in your life-take your mother with you!

Daily summary: move the big stone out

A little boy is playing in his toy sandbox, which contains his toy car, pickup truck, plastic bucket and plastic shovel. When the little boy was building a "road" and a "tunnel" on the soft sand pile, he found a huge stone in the middle of the sandbox, which blocked his "engineering" construction. So the little boy began to dig the sand around the stone, trying to dig the stone out of the sand. Although the stone is not big, it is very big for a little boy. The little boy used his hands and feet, and with great efforts, he finally moved the big stone to the edge of the sandbox. However, he found that he didn't have the strength to move the big stone out of the sandbox.

However, the little boy made up his mind to move the big stone out, so he pushed it with his hands, arched it with his shoulders, swayed it from side to side, and tried again and again. However, as long as there is a little progress, the big stone will roll back to its original place. In his last effort, the big stone rolled back and hurt his finger.

Finally, the little boy couldn't bear it any longer and burst into tears. In fact, the little boy's father could see the whole thing clearly through the living room window. Just as the little boy was crying, his father suddenly appeared in front of the little boy. The father said softly to the little boy, "Son, why don't you try your best?" The little boy said very grievance, "But I have exhausted all my strength." "No, son." The father said kindly, "You didn't use all your strength. You didn't ask me for help. " After that, my father bent down, picked up the big stone and carried it out of the sandbox.

In life, when you encounter difficulties and feel that you can't persist any longer, don't just go to extremes or give up easily. Try to change your mind, try other methods, or ask others for advice or help.
