Educational story 1: fishing
An old man is fishing by the river. A child walked by to watch him go fishing. The old man is very skilled, so he soon caught a basket full of fish. The old man thinks the child is cute and wants to give him the whole basket of fish. The child shook his head. The old man asked in surprise, "Why not?" The child replied, "I want the fishing rod in your hand." The old man asked, "What do you need a fishing rod for?" The child said, "This basket of fish will be finished soon. If I have a fishing rod, I can fish by myself and eat it for a lifetime. " I think you will say: What a clever boy. Wrong. If he only wants a fishing rod, he can't eat any fish. Because he doesn't know the fishing skills, it's useless to have a fishing rod, because the fishing rod is not important, and in fishing skills, too many people think that if they have a fishing rod on the road, they will no longer be afraid of the wind and rain on the road and will inevitably fall on the muddy ground. It's like a child looking at the old man and thinking that as long as there is a fishing rod, there will be endless fish, just like a clerk looking at the boss and thinking that as long as he sits in the office, money will roll in.
Educational Story 2: Desert and Ocean
One day, the desert negotiated with the sea.
"I didn't even have a stream, but you had too much water and became a Wang Yang." The desert suggested, "Why don't we make a deal?" "
"Good," the ocean readily agreed. "I welcome the desert to fill the ocean, but I already have a beach, so I just want soil, not sand."
"I also welcome the ocean to nourish the beach," said the desert, "but the salt is too salty, so just water, not salt.
Some negotiations seem ideal, but they will never go on.
Educational Story 3: Apples by the River
An old monk, surrounded by a group of devout disciples. On this day, he told his disciples to go to Nanshan to get a load of firewood. The disciples hurried to the river on the hillside, and everyone was dumbfounded. I saw the flood rushing down from the mountain, and I couldn't cross the river to collect firewood in any case. Without success, the disciples were a little depressed. There is only one young monk and master who are calm and stand opposite each other. When the master asked him why, the young monk took an apple out of his arms and handed it to the master, saying that he could not cross the river to collect firewood. When he saw an apple tree by the river, I picked the only apple on it. Later, the young monk became a descendant of the master.
There are endless roads and rivers in the world. It is also a kind of wisdom to turn around if you can't cross the river. But true wisdom must do one thing by the river: fly the kite of thought and pick an "apple". Throughout the ages, people who hold such a belief in life have finally achieved a breakthrough and transcendence in life.
Educational Story 4: It's not what you think.
Two traveling angels went to a rich family for the night. The family was unfriendly to them and refused to let them spend the night in a comfortable room. Instead, they found a corner for them in the cold basement. When they made the bed, the older angel found a hole in the wall and repaired it conveniently. The young angel asked why, and the old angel replied, "Some things are not what they seem."
The next night, they went to a poor farmhouse to spend the night. The host and his wife were very enthusiastic about them, took out what little food they had to entertain the guests, and then gave up their beds for the two angels. The next morning, two angels found the farmer and his wife crying, and their only source of livelihood-a cow died. The young angel was very angry. He asked the old angel why this happened. The first family had everything, and the old angel helped them mend the hole in the wall. Although the second family was so poor, they warmly entertained the guests, but the old angel did not stop the cow from dying.
"Some things are not what they seem." The old angel replied, "When we spent the night in the basement, I saw the gold nuggets on the wall through the hole in the wall." Because the master was confused by greed and didn't want to share his wealth, I filled the hole in the wall. Death summoned the farmer's wife last night, and I replaced her with a cow. So some things are not what they seem. "
Sometimes things shouldn't be like this. If you have faith, you just need to firmly believe that your efforts will always be rewarded. You may not know until later ...

Education Story 6: Leave a gap for others
A famous entrepreneur was giving a speech when an audience asked, "You have achieved great success in your career. What is the most important thing for you? "
The entrepreneur didn't give a direct answer. He picked up the chalk and drew a circle on the blackboard, but it was incomplete, leaving a gap. He asked, "What is this?" "Zero", "Round"/"Unfinished Business"/"Success", the audience under the stage replied noisily.
He was noncommittal about these answers: "In fact, this is only an incomplete period. You asked me why I achieved brilliant results. The reason is simple: I won't do things perfectly, just like drawing a full stop. I must leave a gap for my subordinates to fill. " Leaving room for others doesn't mean that you are not competent. In fact, this is a kind of management wisdom and a higher level of overall improvement. Give the monkey a tree and let it climb constantly; Give the tiger a mountain and let it roam freely. Perhaps, this is the highest state of enterprise management and employment.
