Philosophical stories can relieve your stress and give you some thoughts and insights. The philosophical story of life explains a lot of truth in simple terms and points out the direction for your success. The following is a short story of chronicle and philosophy that I compiled. Welcome to read the collection!
Classic inspirational philosophy story 1 There was a boy with a bad temper, and his father gave him a bag of nails. And told him that whenever he lost his temper, he would nail a nail in the fence in the backyard. On the first day, the boy nailed 37 nails. Slowly, the number of nails hammered down every day decreased. He found it easier to control his temper than to hammer those nails. Finally, one day, the boy will never lose patience and lose his temper again. He told his father about it, and his father told him that from now on, as long as he could control his temper, he would pull out a nail. Day by day passed, and finally the boy told his father that he had finally pulled out all the nails. My father took him by the hand and came to the backyard, saying, You have done well, my good boy. But look at those holes in the fence. These fences will never be repaired. What you say when you are angry will leave a scar like these nails. If you stab someone with a knife, no matter how many times you say you're sorry, the wound will last forever. The pain of words is as unbearable as the real pain.
Note: People often get hurt forever because of some persistent insistence. If we can all start from ourselves and start to be tolerant of others, I believe you (you) will receive many unexpected effects ... helping others open a window is to let themselves see a more complete sky. ....
Classic inspirational philosophy story 2 A farmer saved his wife from the flood, but his children were drowned.
Afterwards, people talked about it. Some people say that he did the right thing, because children can have another child, but wives can't come back from the dead. Some people say that he did something wrong, because his wife can marry someone else, but the child can't come back from the dead.
After listening to people's comments, I feel very confused: if I can only save one person, should I save my wife or my children? So I visited the farmer and asked him what he thought at that time.
He replied, "I didn't think of anything. My wife passed me when the flood hit. I grabbed her and swam to the nearby hillside. When I came back, the child had been washed away by the flood. "
On the way home, I pondered the words of the peasants and said to myself: There are many so-called life choices.
Classic inspirational philosophy story 3 Anyone who has been to the temple knows that Amitabha is the first person to greet guests with a smiling face as soon as he enters the temple gate, and to his north, Darkmouth's black-faced Wei Tuo.
But according to legend, a long time ago, they were not in the same temple, but in charge of different temples.
Buddha Miller is enthusiastic and happy, so many people come, but he doesn't care about anything, and his accounts are improperly managed, so he still can't make ends meet.
Although Wei Tuo was a cook in charge of accounts, he was unhappy all day, which was too serious. He made fewer and fewer friends and finally died.
Buddha found this problem when he was looking for incense, so he put them in the same temple. Maitreya was in charge of public relations and greeted all the guests with smiles, so the incense was flourishing.
And Wei Tuo is impartial, he will be better than others, so let him be in charge of finance and strictly control.
In the division of labor and cooperation between the two people, the temple flourished.
In fact, in the eyes of the master of employing people, people without waste, like martial arts masters, can hurt people by picking flowers and flying leaves without expensive swords. The key is how to use them.
Classic inspirational philosophy story 4 A person went to buy a parrot and saw the front sign of a parrot: This parrot can speak two languages, and the price is 200 yuan.
In front of another parrot, it was written: This parrot can speak four languages, and the price is 400 yuan.
Which one should I buy? Both are shiny, very flexible and lovely. The man turned and couldn't make up his mind.
Suddenly I found a parrot with a tooth missing. Its coat color is dim and messy, and its price is 800 yuan.
The man quickly called the boss: Can this parrot speak eight languages?
The shopkeeper said, no.
This person is strange: then why is it so old, so ugly and so incompetent that it is worth this number?
The shopkeeper replied: because the other two parrots call this parrot boss.
This story tells us that a real leader is not necessarily strong in his own ability. As long as he knows how to trust, how to delegate and how to cherish, he can unite forces stronger than himself and thus enhance his value.
On the contrary, many people with very strong abilities are too perfectionist and hands-on, and no one can match them. In the end, I can only be the best researcher and sales representative, but I can't be an excellent leader.
Classic inspirational philosophy story 5 Wei asked a famous doctor: "Your three brothers are all good at medical skills. Which is the best? "
Bian Que replied: "The eldest brother is the best, the second brother is the second, and I am the worst."
King Wen asked again, "Then why are you the most famous?"
Bian Que replied, "My brother treated the disease before it started. Because most people don't know that he can eradicate the cause in advance, his fame can't spread; Brother Zhong treated the disease at the early stage.
Most people think that he can only treat minor illnesses, so his reputation only extends to his own village. When my illness is serious, I will treat it. Most people have seen me perform major operations, such as pricking a needle tube on the meridian to bleed blood and applying medicine to the skin, so they think that my medical skill is brilliant and my reputation is famous all over the country. "
Management experience:
Post-event control is not as good as post-event control, and post-event control is not as good as pre-event control. Unfortunately, most business operators fail to realize this, and they wait until the wrong decision causes huge losses before seeking compensation. Often even if a well-known "airborne soldier" is invited, the result will not help.
Classic inspirational philosophy story 6 In an American basketball season, Jordan was selected by Chicago Bulls. When Jordan first joined the team, his annual salary was only $550,000. He said: "It is common to sit on the bench during the game. Although you are uncomfortable, you must put up with it because the boss doesn't like you and the fans don't agree with you. What you can do is to make others like you through continuous efforts, so that you can get more. "
With the rapid development of the game, Jordan has become the core figure of the team, and led the Bulls to win the NBA championship in succession, so the annual salary soared to $3,065,438 +0.4 million, almost equivalent to the sum of the annual salaries of other players, which caused dissatisfaction among individual players. One of the bench players named Miller approached the boss, Lei Ensi Doff, and thought that Jordan's annual salary should be reduced and asked for a raise. Lei Ensi Madoff said to Miller, "Have you calculated the bill? Because of Jordan, the income of the Bulls in several seasons can reach $65,438 +0.5 billion. It is obvious to all that what we gave Jordan was less than a fraction of the income of the bull. In other words, we wronged him. And you haven't scored a point for the team for several seasons, but we still spend $300,000 every year to support you. How to calculate this account? Thank you for reminding me. Now I have to make two decisions. One is to reduce your annual salary to $200,000, and the other is to increase Jordan's annual salary to $33 1.4 million. " Miller never imagined that because of his cleverness, he didn't give himself a raise, but was reduced by $654.38 million+,while Jordan's annual salary increased by $3 million.
Jealous people only see how much others get, but they can't see how much others pay. Such people are not only incompetent people, but also immoral people. In the end, they can only be self-defeating.
Classic inspirational philosophy story 7 American researchers conducted an interesting "scar experiment". They declared to volunteers that the experiment was aimed at observing people's reactions to strangers with physical defects, especially those with scars on their faces.
A professional makeup artist in Hollywood made a bloody and shocking scar on his left face. Volunteers were allowed to use a small mirror to observe the effect of makeup, and the mirror was taken away.
The key is the last step. The makeup artist said to apply another layer of powder on the scar surface to prevent it from being accidentally wiped off. In fact, the makeup artist secretly wiped off the traces of makeup with a paper towel. Volunteers who knew nothing about it were sent to the waiting room of the hospital. Their task was to observe people's reactions.
At the appointed time, all the volunteers who came back described the same feeling-people were ruder and unfriendly than before, always staring at their faces! Actually, their faces are the same as usual.
This is really a thought-provoking experiment. It turns out that a person can feel what kind of eyes he sees outside.
Classic inspirational philosophy story 8 and slow down.
Most of my colleagues are very excited because a new director who is said to be very capable has been sent to rectify the company. However, as the days passed, the new supervisor did nothing. Every day, he walks into the office politely and hides in it. It's rare to go out. Those nervous bad elements are even more rampant now. "He is an artist there! He is very nice, and he is more gullible than the previous supervisor! Four months later, just when I was really disappointed in the new director, the new director flew into a rage-all the bad guys were fired and the capable people were promoted. He started quickly and judged things accurately, and he was almost like a completely different person from the conservative one in April.
At the year-end dinner, the new director made a speech after three rounds of drinking:
"I'm sure you must be confused about my performance during my new arrival and the harsh measures taken afterwards. Now listen to a story and you will understand: "I have a friend who bought a house with a yard." As soon as he moved in, he cleaned up the yard thoroughly, cleared all the weeds and trees, and replanted his newly bought flowers. One day, the original owner visited and asked in surprise:
"Where is the most precious peony? My friend just found out that he actually used peony as a grass shovel. Later, he bought another house. Although the yard was more messy, he stayed where he was. Sure enough, plants that were thought to be miscellaneous trees in winter bloomed in spring. I thought spring was a weed, but summer turned into brocade; A small tree that hasn't moved for half a year turns red in autumn. It was not until late autumn that it really realized which plants were useless and vigorously eradicated and preserved all precious vegetation. " Speaking of which, the supervisor raised his glass:
"Let me propose a toast to all of you here, because if this office is a garden, you are all rare trees inside. Rare trees can't blossom and bear fruit all year round, you can only recognize them by long-term observation!
Classic inspirational philosophy story 9 During the Tang Dynasty, Lu became an official in North Korea and bought fairview park outside Luoyang. There are pavilions and bridges in the garden, which are elegant and quiet. Later, because of being framed, he was dismissed from office at home. When his family's fortune fell and he could not make ends meet, he discussed with his two nephews Lu Yin and Lu Mao and decided to sell the Jinxiu Garden. The specific matters are handled by his nephew.
Someone took a fancy to the house and negotiated the price. When the other party was ready to pay, Fiona Fang reminded, "I forgot one thing. Although the house is good, there is no drainage place. When it rains, there will be water in the yard and it can only be cleaned up bit by bit. " Hearing this, the man stopped buying.
After the man left, two nephews complained that he was talkative. Fiona Fang said seriously, "If I don't say so, I will cheat each other. How can you lie for money when you are alive? " The story spread widely and reached the ears of the emperor. The emperor was very moved and used him again. Since then, he has been an official in North Korea for many years and has become an important official of the court.
In the Song Dynasty, Tao Siweng opened a dyehouse and became famous in business. One day, someone came to sell Arnebia euchroma, the raw material for dyeing cloth. These Arnebia euchroma looked good, so he paid a high price for them. A cloth dealer came to the store to buy goods. When he sees these Arnebia euchroma, tell him that they are all fake. He was taken aback. The businessman taught him how to check Arnebia euchroma. He tried it as the businessman said, and it turned out to be a fake Lithospermum. The businessman said, "Never mind, I'll take care of it. False Lithospermum can still be used to dye cloth, which is cheaper and can be sold in the market. " Tao Siong said, "I was cheated. How can I cheat again? " When the fake Arnebia euchroma is about to be burned. The businessman shouted, "You have suffered a great loss!" In fact, after the news spread, his reputation for honesty and integrity was greatly enhanced and his business was more prosperous.
To be honest, fruit is sweet.
Classic inspirational philosophy story 10 Harvard Ike, chairman of American Peak Potential Training Company, recently posted a question on Facebook's message board: "If you don't like doing it, why do you want to do it?" After seeing this question, my first reaction was: "This question is great! Why did you do this? " This question reminds me of my childhood experience.
When I was 6 years old, my mother asked me to take piano lessons. She didn't ask me whether I like musical instruments or playing the piano. She just made a decision for me-I'm going to learn a musical instrument, and it must be the piano.
So, for about two years, I will go to the piano teacher's house every Saturday morning to learn piano for an hour. I have had two piano teachers in the past two years. The first is a young female teacher, who is very strict. She often scolds me and even hits my palm with a ruler. I hate playing the piano and being slapped. When I get home, I sometimes complain to my mother, but I get beaten again. The second piano teacher is also a young female teacher. She is very patient, even when I make mistakes repeatedly. I like her, but I still don't like playing the piano. Two years later, my mother ordered me to play the piano at home for an hour every day, which was non-negotiable. I hate this life, but I can't escape it. Later, I went to primary school and learned a lot, so I couldn't stand playing the piano. I cried. Finally, I got grandma's sympathy. She had a quarrel with my mother. My "music career" ends here. I was eight years old that year.
Looking back on that time now, I ask myself a question: "Why did I have those two years?" I have never thought about this question before, and now the answer is obvious: I have no choice, so I have suffered for two years.
Last year, I met a lady at a friend's wedding, and we became good friends. She told me that an unpleasant thing happened to her. Her boyfriend proposed to her, but she hasn't promised him yet. I asked why. She said she didn't think he was the other half in her mind. Then I asked her if she didn't spend enough time together. She said that no matter how long she was with him, she might not feel that discharge. She wants to leave him and have a new boyfriend, but she can't make up her mind.
"What makes you unable to make up your mind?" I asked. She said she felt she had no choice.
"Why is this happening?" I asked.
"He won't let me leave him." She replied. At that time, my first thought was that no one can control you unless you allow them to.
She told me that he is a very good person, easy to get along with and considerate. He loves her very much and obeys her. However, she always feels that there is something missing between them, which should be the most important thing to become a husband and wife.
"What will happen if you leave him?" I asked her. She replied that he would always come to her and beg her, and she would eventually relent. I can't comment on my feelings, but I said in my heart that although the choice is difficult, she is not without choice because she is not a child. Sometimes our fate is fundamentally changed because of a choice, no matter how difficult it is, we must dare to choose.
For 12 years, I often shut myself at home and felt that I was a useless person and could do nothing interesting except lie in bed all day. I became more confused and depressed in depression. I don't know why God sent me into this world to be a walking corpse. Sometimes I wish I could sleep at night and never wake up the next day.
One day, my mother opened my quilt, scolded me for my mediocre performance, and then threw me an advertisement. My attitude towards my mother is full of rebellion, but the content of the advertisement makes me shine. This is an advertisement for a company to train sales staff. I think I am very suitable to be a salesman. I can't give up such an opportunity just because I'm angry with my mother. It was from this advertisement that I embarked on the road to success as an excellent salesman.
Now I often think, if I hadn't received training at that time, would I still have such a successful career? Between anger and training, I chose the latter. This is how our life is made up of choices. For example, you can choose whether to read my article or not; You can choose to read the whole article, or you can choose to put it anywhere you feel meaningless. What choice would you make? Countless such choices make up your destiny.
