1, heart and hand
Material cannot be imitated and copied with kindness and love, especially when you are greedy. Many things in the world are like this. If you put your heart into it, you will succeed naturally. Otherwise, you will fail.
The topic expands the heart, warm and sincere.
In Kerala, southern India, people use elephants to carry trees and other heavy objects.
Andrew, the elephant owner, has nine elephants. He was insatiable and often overworked elephants. Within a year, six elephants were exhausted. An elephant lost weight 150kg when it died, and it was still oozing blood and kept shaking. Andrew saw that it was dying, stabbed it to death with several knives, then dug up the ivory, skinned it and laughed.
Other elephants are generally the same, greedy and cruel.
As if discussed, many elephants challenge their owners at the same time. The worst is Andrew. There was nothing unusual when he drove the elephant out of the hospital that day. When he arrived at the timber transportation site, the elephants suddenly roared together and surrounded him. Andrew was covered in blood when the elephant swaggered away.
So elephant owners began to improve the way they used elephants. One is to lighten the work, and the other is to make elephant training weapons.
However, a man named Jimmy came up with an ingenious idea: massage the elephant once in the morning and once in the evening for an hour. Soon, a miracle appeared. With the same food intake and the same job, Jimmy's elephant works several times more than other elephants every day, and it looks cheerful.
Other elephant owners also began to try to massage their elephants. Strangely, no one can achieve Jimmy's effect, so people have been asking Jimmy to massage his elephant and do it. The technique is over, but it still doesn't work. All elephants only know Jimmy.
Later, Jimmy became the first professional elephant masseur in India. Now, Jimmy has enrolled more than 600 people in more than 80 "elephant massage parlors" in Kerala.
Jimmy's secret is actually very simple: the heart has true feelings and the hands have warmth. Love cannot be adulterated. .
The third runner-up is happier than the second runner-up.
The third runner-up readily used materials, and the third runner-up regretted it. This is because they set different goals for themselves. Please let yourself always keep a "gold medal smile" and be optimistic about everything.
Topics expand happiness, goals, and mentality.
In sports competitions, the sense of accomplishment, pride and happiness of gold medal winners are definitely the strongest. So, do silver medalists feel more strongly than bronze medalists?
Recently. The author read an article in which he said that the actual arrangement should be: gold medal >; Bronze > silver. At the Beijing Olympic Games, the United States failed to catch up with China in the number of gold medals. However, the sum of happiness of American athletes may not be less than that of China, because they have more bronze medals than any other country.
Have Americans become Ah Q? American psychologists have collected videos of swimming, track and field events and winning prizes, so that some people who know nothing about sports can observe the winners' expressions and judge whether the athletes they see are happy or not. The results show that bronze athletes are far happier than silver athletes.
Photographer Bob took thousands of photos of judo competition in Athens Olympic Games, focusing on athletes' expressions at the moment when they won or lost medals. A researcher analyzed these photos and found that the expressions of bronze medal athletes were close to those of gold medal winners, while those of silver medal athletes were close to the fifth place.
Why is this happening? Because silver medalists always think that they can't get a silver medal if they try harder; Bronze medal winners always feel lucky because they can hardly get any cards. This psychological phenomenon is called "bronze medal phenomenon".
3. Shocking at the starting line
The competition of material users is the competition of talents, and the competition of talents is the competition of education. Although education in China has made great progress, educators still have a long way to go. The advanced ideas of other countries can be used for reference and imitated, but the real foundation lies in the creation of national culture and environment.
Topics include expanding competition, unity and education.
Phoenix TV broadcasted a sports event and was deeply shocked. Participants are sixth-grade primary school students from all over Japan. The event is a "30 people 3 1 ft" race, that is, 30 people are in a horizontal team, the legs of two adjacent people are tied to each other, and 30 people run like one person. We often see the "two people three feet" race on TV, and it is often awkward to run. It can be seen that it is very difficult. Looking at the "30 people 3 1 foot" competition of these Japanese primary school students, two long dragons rushed to the finish line horizontally, and the scene was amazing.
"Complaining about each other can have what ambition? Can it succeed? " During the halftime of the game, there were clips of each team's usual training on TV, and several teachers reprimanded the players so severely. This kind of "30-person 3l-foot" competition takes classes as the unit, with mixed boys and girls, and great differences in height and physique. As long as one player retreats, the whole team will give up halfway, so team spirit is the most important.
Among all the teams, the performance of the Tokyo team is particularly outstanding. They are "40 people 4 1 foot", and the number of people increases 10, which greatly increases the difficulty. "There are 40 students in our class, and I don't want any students to leave the team." The class teacher said. There is a big weakness in the class-only 1 in No.1 Middle School. A short girl of 365,438+0 meters, she has held back after many trainings. Finally, the teacher arranged for two tall boys who were 6 feet tall to run after her ... and finally the whole class "flew".
In the live competition, from time to time, teams "fall apart" 20 meters away from the finish line. Although they all failed, they all consciously returned to the point of "falling apart", regrouped and rushed to the finish line.
Finally, the winner cried with joy, and the loser burst into tears. Even the teacher shed tears. ...
Serious, tenacious and United, these are the three things that impressed me the most when watching such a game. These children are only in the sixth grade, and in a few years, this generation will go to society. How fierce the competition will be!
4. Athletes who can't climb up
If the Olympic Games bring us the excitement of refreshing human records and winning medals again and again, then the Paralympic Games bring us incomplete perfection and the most touching touch.
The topic expansion is not perfect, high and shocking.
On the evening of September 8th, 20xx, in the women's 5000m final of Beijing Paralympic Games, 10 top athletes competed in a special three-wheeled wheelchair. Halfway through the race, except for one athlete who was nearly half a lap behind, the other nine athletes followed closely, giving way and taking the lead alternately. There are still three laps, and there is a crowd of nearly 90 thousand spectators. As the last athlete keeps coming and going, everyone is cheering for her.
Suddenly, an unfortunate scene appeared. Nine leading athletes collided on the straight, and five of them fell to the ground instantly. The five athletes who just galloped on the runway all fell helplessly on the runway. None of them can get up and compete again as they wish, because their lower limbs are severely disabled!
The game continued, the rest of the athletes continued to rush to the finish line, and the Canadian player finally won the championship. But the audience is concerned about the five athletes who fell. Watching the medical staff and volunteers carry them on stretchers for a long time and send them off.
At that moment, people really felt the tremendous shock brought by the Paralympic Games to healthy people and realized the ultimate beauty of human deformity.
5. Don't turn yourself into garbage.
The chaotic life of using materials often brings people endless troubles and resentment, and may also make people toss and turn in the garbage dump and become "garbage". Forming good habits is the best way to improve efficiency.

A group of China people are eating in a Japanese restaurant. They take off their shoes at the door and walk in-this is a very customary and natural action. However, an old Japanese lady came later, only to see her bend down, gently pick up everyone's shoes, put out a pair of shoes neatly, and then go in. Everyone thought she was a waiter, but later she learned that she was also a guest for dinner.
In Japan, when students enter the classroom from kindergarten, they are required to take off their leather shoes and put on white indoor shoes.
When eating, the Japanese will fold the used wet towels neatly, put the chopsticks back in the wrapping paper, and cover the bowl to prevent others from cleaning up. When staying in a hotel, the Japanese will definitely fold the quilt and nightgown the next morning, throw the scraps of paper into the trash can and put the toothbrush, toothpaste and towel neatly in the bathroom. For them, this is called tradition.
This can't be done overnight. In the eyes of the Japanese, the surroundings must be clean and tidy, and life is not allowed to be messy, because they understand that living in garbage dumps will also become "garbage".
