A long-distance runner got a lot of sand in his shoes when he passed the beach. In order to catch up with the time, the runner quickly dumped the sand and continued on his way, but there was still a grain of sand in his shoe. Although walking is a little uncomfortable, in order not to lose time, the athletes did not pour sand again. After a long journey, the athlete's feet were worn out by this sand, so that he could not move forward and missed the victory.
When you encounter a grain of sand at work, you must take timely measures to pour it out and solve the root of the problem. Don't let a small grain of sand interfere with our work.
A grain of sand is like a small mistake and a small shortcoming in our life. So, "don't pour the sand down, don't pour the stone up." A grain of sand is often an obstacle, stumbling block and stumbling block to our road to success.
Don't always think that success often hides behind a high mountain and at the end of a big river, instead of scrambling to climb. Victory beckons to you before your eyes, but there is only a grain of sand between you and victory. Don't ignore the existence of this grain of sand. After all, it takes up space, although it is small. Try to cross this space! Only in this way can you win the victory that is only one step away from you.
Remember, there are often some important smiling souls wandering in your life. They are sand.
Inspirational Story Speech 2 The Power of Dwarfs
In Cyprus in ancient Greece, there once lived a group of dwarfs in a castle. It is said that they were imprisoned in this isolated place because they were cursed by a terrible spell. They can't find anyone to turn to. Without food and water, the seven dwarfs became more and more desperate. The dwarfs didn't expect that this was a test for them by the gods, which was related to unity, wisdom, knowledge and cooperation. Among the dwarfs, Archimedes was the first person to get a dream from Athena, the patron saint. Athena told him that in this castle, except for the damp storage room where they stayed, there were some honey and water in the 1 of the other 25 rooms, which was enough for them to maintain for a period of time; The other 24 rooms have stones, including 240 rose lingshi. Collect these 240 lingshi and arrange them in a circle, and the terrible spell will be broken, so that they can escape bad luck and return to their homes. The next day, Archimedes couldn't wait to tell this dream to the other six partners. None of them wants to believe it, only Alice and Socrates are willing to cooperate with him.
In the first few days, Alice wanted to find some firewood to light, which would not only keep warm, but also let the room shine. Pick up 240 lingshi, which can quickly remove the spell; The three men couldn't reach an agreement, so they decided to look for it themselves, but after a few days, all three men were exhausted, which made the other four people laugh. But none of them gave up. Failure made them realize that they should unite. They decided. Find fire first, then find food, and finally find lingshi together. This is an effective method. Three people soon found a lot of honey and water in the second room on the left.
Obviously, a clear goal is very important for any team. In practice, there may be different factors that hinder teamwork. For example, the products produced by the production department, the sales department found that the sales were not smooth; Designers may demand to develop a brand-new equipment regardless of the difficulties of the production department or the market demand; The hierarchy within the organization creates friction and misunderstanding between the boss and subordinates. Subordinates complain that the boss doesn't want to know their problems at all, and the boss is indifferent and indifferent to his subordinates. Therefore, an enterprise can only succeed if it has clear goals and forms a close cooperative team within the organization.
Once, before Kanmi, a Japanese kabuki master, came to power, his disciples told him that his shoelaces were loose. The master nodded his thanks and squatted down to tie it carefully. Disciple turned his back and squatted down to untie his shoelaces.
A bystander saw all this and asked inexplicably, "Master, why did you untie your shoelaces again?" The master replied, "Because I play a tired traveler, I can loosen his shoes after a long journey and show his fatigue and haggard through this detail."
"Then why don't you just tell your disciples?"
"He can carefully find that my shoelaces are loose and enthusiastically tell me that I must protect his enthusiasm and encourage him in time. As for why I untied my shoelaces, I will have more opportunities to teach him to perform in the future. I can talk about it next time. "
Improving the quality and ability of employees is an effective way to improve the management level. Learning is conducive to improving team execution and enhancing team cohesion. Hands-on on-site guidance can correct employees' mistakes in time and is one of the important forms to improve employees' quality. But the guidance must pay attention to skills, just like Master Kangmi, to protect the enthusiasm of employees.
Managers must avoid lesson-based guidance and encourage employees to improve their professional quality. In addition to on-site guidance, training, exchange meetings, internal publications, business competitions and other forms can be comprehensively used to motivate employees to continuously improve their own quality and professional level and form a positive learning team.
Inspirational Story Speech 4 Dear leaders:
Since childhood, we have been taught to save money from a small place, starting with a grain of rice and a drop of water. However, saving is not just a trivial matter after all. Nowadays, society sometimes becomes very strange, but frugality has become a stingy joke, and frugality is regarded as a manifestation of poverty. We need to change the so-called vanity consumption psychology and waste concept of the whole society, and we need to re-recognize the Millennium tradition and fine virtues left by our ancestors.
Simplicity and diligence are the virtues of our Chinese nation. Thrift and diligence seem ordinary, but they can't be taken lightly. It is an indispensable virtue for us as electric workers and a hormone for success. Because only with this virtue can we forget the gains and losses and not admire Li Rong; Only people with this virtue can be ambitious, not depressed when things happen, and calm as usual when they are embarrassed; With this virtue, we can abandon luxury, focus on our career, achieve something and make a difference. (inspirational speech)
This reminds me of Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan, which has always been known for its meanness. Their "meanness" really surprised the Japanese and shocked Japanese companies. In order to save water, Toyota employees will put three bricks in the toilet to save flushing water; Write your notes on the front of the paper, cut them into four sections to make a booklet, and then use the back as note paper; If one glove is broken, only one glove should be replaced, and the other glove should be replaced if it is broken; When employees go to work, if they want to leave for more than three steps, they will consciously run; Sometimes it's incredible that such a big world-famous enterprise is so stingy. Do you still care about this little waste? But for Toyota, "sand accumulates into a tower, and water accumulates into a deep pool." It is precisely because of the "stingy" of Toyota employees that Toyota has today's glory.
When the concept of "three festivals" activities of State Grid Corporation of China has rapidly penetrated into every corner of the company system, and when austerity will become a realm, a habit and a civilized lifestyle, we have reason to believe that this once extravagant and impetuous society is becoming practical and pragmatic. If we say that the cultivation of this realm, this habit, and this civilized way of life begins with a number of "ones" of "saving a penny, saving a piece of paper, saving an inch of wire ...", then it reflects our new understanding of the relationship between man and nature, our sense of crisis in the severe resource and energy situation, and our sense of responsibility for the sustainable development of human society.
From this, I also thought that our awareness of saving is very different. Looking back at whether we pay attention to saving every drop of water, every kilowatt hour, every piece of paper in our work and life ... often we inadvertently cause a lot of waste. Many papers are thrown into the wastebasket after only a few words; The lights are on during the day; The faucet in the bathroom is running ... In fact, with a little attention, we can do better, but we often ignore these details. I think we can definitely turn off the lights and water at home; The contact between friends, if there is nothing important, we will definitely choose to send text messages instead of phone calls ... why do we ignore these details at work? The key is that we have not really integrated ourselves into the enterprise, and have not formed a good habit and the concept of saving.
It is necessary to establish the concepts of thrift, honor and disgrace and extravagance and waste, so that thrift can truly become a habit and fashion. A water resource expert once said that the last drop of water of mankind will be your tears. Our economy is not only a matter of leading one person, but also the responsibility of every employee. Every drop of water and electricity is related to the vital interests of every employee. If there is no "stingy" spirit and saving consciousness, everything will be extravagant and wasteful, and resources and time will not be cherished. If wasteful thoughts are allowed to erode our minds and overflow, our great achievements will be destroyed.
"Three festivals" is the spirit of thrift advocated by State Grid Corporation of China, and it is also the basic requirement for cadres and employees. As employees of the company, we should vigorously carry forward the spirit of frugality, strictly implement various frugality systems in our daily work, and strive to cultivate our own frugality consciousness. By learning the concept of "three sections", from "a penny, a piece of paper, an inch of silk" to the construction and maintenance of an experimental instrument and a laboratory, we must set up abacus beads to save our lives and ensure safety scientifically.
The story of the fifth "The Race between the Tortoise and the Rabbit" is an inspirational story, which we were familiar with when we were still in primary school. Explain that the result of the game has nothing to do with the starting point. However, people seldom ask themselves: Are we playing a "rabbit" with innate advantages, or a "turtle" who finally wins by hard work and persistence?
Many successful people have a low starting point. Kōnosuke Matsushita, the founder of Matsushita Electric, only attended four years of school. He was rejected many times to find a job in an electrical appliance factory, but he strengthened his study with perseverance, finally entered the factory, and then started a business empire with perseverance and hard work. Li Ka-shing was forced to drop out of school in his early years, started as a waiter in a teahouse, and eventually became the richest Chinese. Liu bang, who founded the Han empire, was just a street thug at first; Zhu Yuanzhang, who founded the Ming Dynasty, was just a ruined young monk at first. Their success is not won at the starting point, but at the turning point. It doesn't matter if the starting point is not high, as long as you don't give up your dreams, study hard and be good at seizing opportunities, you can succeed.
Another story is familiar to everyone. "Shang" wrote: Zhong Yong was able to write poems when he was six or seven years old. Later, his father thought it was profitable, so he took him everywhere to write poems, instead of letting him continue his studies. By the time Zhong Yong was twelve or thirteen, his poems were not as good as those of his childhood. By the time he was twenty, Zhong Yong was no different from ordinary people. Zhong Yong's innate intelligence can be called a high starting point, but without the efforts of the day after tomorrow, the innate advantage will gradually be lost. Therefore, although the starting point is very important, the efforts of the day after tomorrow are more important.
In fact, there is not only a starting point in life, but also a second, third, fourth or even more starting points. One or two failures are nothing, as long as you don't lose heart, get up, summarize and observe, and take this as a new starting point to continue your new journey. The starting point of Zeng Guofan's army is quite low. On the one hand, he just rushed into battle when he was worried. On the other hand, his Xiang army is only a militia. At the beginning of the war with Taiping Army, it can be said that Zeng Guofan was defeated repeatedly. However, Zeng Guofan was not discouraged, summed up the gains and losses again and again, and finally defeated the Taiping Army.
The ancients said, "Virtue has been passed down for more than ten generations, followed by ploughing and studying, and poetry and books are rich, but only three generations." The children of rich families have a low starting point, but they often get worse from generation to generation. After three generations, most of them squandered the hard-earned property of their ancestors. The reasons are: first, I don't know the hardships of starting a business; Second, I have not received a good education; Third, I have no moral atmosphere. All families that have been passed down for more than a hundred years have good education and strict norms, such as Rockefeller and Kennedy in the United States. Of course, not all people who start high can't win. A high starting point is an advantage in itself. If we make good use of this advantage, we will achieve greater success. Li Ka-shing's son, Li Zekai, backed by his rich father, was very diligent and became the second richest businessman in Hong Kong within ten years. His success is the result of a high starting point and acquired efforts.
A person's winning or losing is not at the starting point, but at the end. The starting point is often impossible to choose or difficult to change, and the efforts of the day after tomorrow can be achieved. As long as you unswervingly move towards your goals, don't complain, don't be lazy and don't slack off, you will become the ultimate winner. Life is not a 100 meter hurdle, and a little difference in starting will affect the outcome of the race. Life is a marathon, and the first runner is not necessarily the last champion!
Inspirational Story Speech 6 Dear leaders, teachers and dear students,
Good afternoon everyone! I'm xxX from Class XX Financial Management 1 Management Department. My motto is always warm and look forward with a smile!
I come from an ordinary family, although my family is not poor, and they are very strict with my study, so I have done well since I was a child. The senior high school entrance examination was admitted to the municipal key high school, and the three-year goal was the college entrance examination. Being admitted to an ideal university is my childhood dream. However, I will not give up. I will realize my dream through postgraduate entrance examination. Now, it has been two years, and the scene of the moment when the list was released and that night always comes to my mind. That guilt always keeps me alert and running forward. After that, I became quiet. Fortunately, I was encouraged by counselors and many teachers at the beginning of the semester. They encouraged me to face the setbacks in my life positively and bravely, accept the reality bravely and live bravely.
During that dark time, I went to the bookstore every day to prevent myself from thinking. I have read a book called "Talking about Regret", which contains a profound sentence-time goes forward and the clock can't go back, so as long as everything is over, there is no turning back. Even if it looks like going back in time, the world is still facing completion. We can turn back, but we don't have to. Even if one day, you find yourself wrong, you should turn around and stride in the right direction, instead of going back and complaining that you are wrong.
No matter how hard and tired I am, as long as I keep going, my scenery will eventually appear. As long as I choose it myself, I have no regrets. Once youth is pawned, it can never be redeemed. The past can only be used for memories, don't indulge in shadows. Everyone's life is full of setbacks, and no one's life is flat and open. We should thank setbacks for their cultivation.
No matter what happens, we need not regret it. If it is good, it is wonderful; If it is not good, it is experience. In fact, I should thank myself for having such an experience and let me know that life is not smooth sailing.
In order to kill the negative emotions in my heart, I devoted myself to the university and made detailed plans for myself. Everything at each stage is well planned. Next, I will talk about my two-year college income from six aspects: work, study, ideological life and practical quality.
1, the road is long, and it's all up and down in Xiu Yuan. When I was a freshman, I joined three different organizations: student union, group and association. In my sophomore year, I ran for the vice president of Mathematical Modeling Association, and my class served as monitor for two consecutive years. All along, due diligence is the criterion of my work, and "doing great things regardless of details and making small concessions without pains and gains" is the criterion of my life. I am serious, responsible and enthusiastic about my work, and it is my aim to "get my job in its place". During my tenure as monitor, I led the class forward and achieved very good results in academic performance, passing rate of textual research, recreational activities and various competitions. The passing rate of CET-4 is the highest in the whole school. The class won the title of advanced class collective and is now applying for the title of advanced league branch. And the dormitory was rated as a civilized dormitory.
2. Learn to be diligent and act in thought. Learning has always been my most important thing. In order to master professional knowledge, I insist on not being late or absent from class, listening carefully in class and learning professional knowledge. In addition, I am required to read more books, learn some knowledge of other majors, and strive to be a compound college student who meets the requirements of the times. After joining three departments and adding the post of monitor, you still have to study. For two years, I have been racing against time. In order to find time to study and broaden my knowledge, I choose to go to the library to read newspapers and magazines for half an hour every day after school at noon. Maybe we will find it difficult to get up at six o'clock, recite words and calm down. But there are always some people who can get up at five, recite words and read books. No one has super powers, but they can decide what to do in a day.
