1. Broken arrow-If you don't believe in your will, you will never be a general.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a father and son went out to fight. The father became a general, but the son was only a pawn. Another horn sounded and the drums thundered. Father solemnly raised an quiver with arrows. The father solemnly said to his son, "This is an arrow to attack treasure, with infinite power, but it cannot be taken out."

Extremely delicate quiver, made of thick cowhide, with a faint shiny copper edge. Look at the exposed tail of the arrow. You can tell at a glance that it is made of fine peacock hair. The son is beaming and greedily infers the appearance of the shaft and arrow, as if the arrow whizzed past his ear and the enemy commander fell to the ground and died.

Sure enough, the son with the treasure arrow is heroic and invincible. When the horn sounded, the son could no longer resist the heroic spirit of victory and completely abandoned his father's advice. A strong desire drove him to pull out the treasure arrow with a shout to see what had happened. Suddenly he was shocked.

A broken arrow, there is a broken arrow in the quiver.

I have been fighting with a broken arrow! My son broke out in a cold sweat, like a house that lost its pillar in an instant and collapsed.

The result is self-evident, and my son died tragically in the disorderly army.

Father swept away the misty smoke, picked up the broken arrow and spat heavily: "If you don't believe in your will, you will never be a general."

How stupid it is to pin victory or defeat on a precious arrow, and how dangerous it is for a person to give the core and handle of life to others! For example, pin your hopes on children; Put happiness on her husband; Insure the crew with life insurance ...

Hint: You are an arrow. If you want it to be tough, sharp, penetrating, sharp and saving, you can only be yourself.

2. The value of life-don't let yesterday's depression overshadow tomorrow's dream!

At a seminar, a famous speaker held a $20 bill in his hand and didn't make an opening speech. Facing the 200 people in the meeting room, he asked, "Who wants this $20?" Put one hand up. He went on to say, "I want to give this $20 to one of you, but before that, please allow me to do one thing." He crumpled up the money and asked, "Who wants it?" Others raised their hands.

He added, "Well, what if I do this?" He threw the money on the ground, stepped on it and ran it over with his foot. Then he picked up the dirty and wrinkled bill.

"Who wants it now?" Someone still raised their hands.

"My friends, you have learned a very meaningful lesson. No matter how I treat that bill, you still want it, because it hasn't depreciated, and it's still worth 20 dollars. On the road of life, we will be knocked down, bullied or even crushed by our own decisions or adversity countless times. We feel as if we are worthless. But no matter what happens or what will happen, you will never lose your value in the eyes of God. "

Tips: The value of life lies not in what we do, nor in who we make friends with, but in ourselves! We are unique-never forget this!

It's beautiful to hold your head high-although it's a black cow, the milk is white.

Jenny is a little girl who always lowers her head. She always feels that she is not beautiful enough. One day, she went to the jewelry store and bought a green bow. The shopkeeper praised her for wearing a bow. Although Jenny doesn't believe it, she is very happy. She couldn't help raising her head, eager to show it to everyone. It doesn't matter if she accidentally bumped into someone when she went out.

Jenny walked into the classroom and met her teacher head-on. "Jenny, it's nice to look up!" "The teacher lovingly patted her on the shoulder and said.

That day, she was praised by many people. She thought it must be a bow, but when she looked in front of the mirror, there was no bow on her head. She must have been lost when she was out of the jewelry store.

Self-confidence is a kind of beauty, but many people lose a lot of happiness because they care too much about appearance.

Tips: Whether you are poor or rich, whether you look like a fairy or plain, as long as you hold your head high, happiness will make you cute-the kind that everyone likes.

Draw a leaf for life-as long as you believe, there will always be miracles. Although the hope is slim, it will last forever.

In his novel The Last Leaf, American writer O Henry tells a story: In the ward, a dying patient saw a tree outside the window and fell down one by one in the autumn wind. The patient is getting worse and worse when he looks at the rustling leaves in front of him. She said, "When all the leaves are gone, I will die," an old painter learned.

The last leaf never fell. Because of the green color in life, the patient miraculously survived.

Tip: Life can be without many things, but only without hope. Hope is an important value of human life. Where there is hope, there is endless life!

5. Flying Spider-Faith is an indomitable force. When you believe that you can succeed, you will succeed.

One day, I found a black spider making a big net between two eaves in the backyard. Can spiders fly? Otherwise, from this cornice to that cornice, there are more than ten feet wide in the middle. How is the first line pulled? Later, I found that the spider took many detours-starting from a cornice, knotting, walking along the wall, climbing forward step by step, carefully raising its tail to prevent the spider silk from touching the sand or other objects on the ground, walking through the clearing, and then climbing up the opposite cornice, with the same height, and then tying the spider silk tightly, which will be the same in the future.

Tip: Spiders can't fly, but they can make webs in mid-air. They are industrious, sensitive, silent and tenacious insects. Their webs are exquisitely woven and regular, and Zhang Kaicheng's gossip shape seems to be helped by God. Such an achievement reminds people of those who are taciturn and some hidden wise men. So, I remember that spiders can't fly, but they still make webs in the air. Miracles are caused by persistent people.

6. Shadow is a paper dragon-in life, there are often countless blows from the outside world, but the final decision is in your hands.

My grandfather made me a long dragon out of paper. Only a few locusts can be accommodated in the gap in the abdominal cavity of this long dragon. When I put them in, they all died inside, and no one survived! Grandfather said, "locusts are too impatient." Apart from struggling, they don't want to bite the long dragon with their mouths, and they don't know that they can climb out from the other end as long as they keep going. Therefore, even if they have iron pliers-like mouths and serrated thighs, it will not help. " When grandpa put several bugs of the same size into the faucet and then turned off the faucet, a miracle appeared: in just a few minutes, the young bugs climbed out of Barry one by one.

Tip: Destiny has always been hidden in our minds. Many people can't walk out of the shadow at different stages of life, big or small, not because their natural personal conditions are much worse than others, but because they have no thought to bite the shadow paper dragon and have no patience to find a direction slowly and move forward step by step until a new hole appears in front of them.

8. Always hold the ticket-life is really interesting: if you only accept the best, you will often get the best.

There is a person who travels a lot and often can't buy a suitable ticket. But no matter the distance, no matter how crowded the bus is, he can always find a seat.

In fact, his method is very simple, that is, patiently looking for the past cars one by one. This method doesn't sound brilliant, but it does work. Every time he is going to walk from the first car to the last car, but he doesn't have to walk to the end every time. He will find a seat. He said that this is because there are not many passengers who are obsessed with finding seats like him. Often there are some seats left in the carriage where he sits, but in the aisles of other carriages.

He said that most passengers are easily confused by the superficial phenomenon of one or two cars being crowded and will not think about it. In dozens of stations, there are many opportunities to provide seats in the flow of people from more than a dozen doors of the train. Even if they thought of it, they didn't have the patience to look for it. A small foothold in front of them is easy for most people to satisfy, and some people feel that it is not worthwhile to squeeze for one or two seats. They are also worried that if they can't find a seat, they won't even have a place to stand back. Just like some people who are content with the status quo and afraid of failure, they can only stay at the starting point of unsuccessful forever. Most of these passengers who don't want to take the initiative to find a seat can only stay in the initial position after getting on the bus.

Tips: Self-confidence, persistence, foresight, and diligence in practice will make you hold a ticket for the journey of life forever.

9. Hard rock in our hearts-The only obstacles that hinder our discovery and creation are our psychological obstacles and hard rock in our hearts.

Once upon a time, there was a big stone in a family's garden, about 40 cm wide and 10 cm high. People who went to the vegetable garden accidentally kicked a big stone, either falling or scratching.

The son asked, "Dad, why don't you dig up that disgusting stone?"

Dad replied, "You mean that stone? It has been here since your grandfather's time. So big, I don't know when to dig. If there is nothing to do except dig stones, it is better to walk carefully and exercise your reaction ability. "

After a few years, this big stone was left to the next generation. At that time, my son married a daughter-in-law and became a father.

One day, my daughter-in-law said angrily, "Dad, the bigger the stones in the vegetable garden, the more I look at them, the more I feel." I'd better ask someone to move it another day. "

Dad replied, "Forget it! That big stone is heavy. If I could move, I moved when I was a child. How can I leave it here? "

Daughter-in-law is very upset. I don't know how many times that big stone made her fall.

One morning, the daughter-in-law took a hoe and a bucket of water and poured the whole bucket of water around the big stone.

10 minutes later, the daughter-in-law used a hoe to loosen the soil around the big stone.

Daughter-in-law has been psychologically prepared and may have to dig for a day. No one expected that the stone would be dug up in a few minutes. Look at the size. This stone is not as big as expected, and it was deceived by its huge appearance.

Tips: You can't climb the mountain with the idea of going down. If your world is dull and hopeless, it is because you are dull and hopeless. To change your world, you must first change your mentality.

10. pursue ecstasy-don't think of yourself as a mouse, or you will be eaten by a cat.

1858, a rich family in Sweden gave birth to a daughter. However, not long after, the child suffered from an unexplained paralysis and lost the ability to walk.

Once, a girl and her family traveled by boat. The captain's wife told the child that the captain had a bird of paradise. She was fascinated by the description of the bird and wanted to see it with her own eyes. So the nanny left the child on the deck and went to the captain herself. The child couldn't bear to wait, so the waiter on the boat immediately took her to see the bird of paradise. The waiter didn't know that her legs couldn't walk, just took her to see the beautiful birds. A miracle happened. Because of excessive desire, the child selflessly grabbed the waiter's hand and walked slowly. Since then, the child's illness has recovered. When the girl grew up, she devoted herself selflessly to literary creation, and finally became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, namely Selma Lagrov.

Tip: Forgetting yourself is the shortcut to success. Only in such an environment can people transcend their own constraints and release the greatest energy.

1 1. Optimists and pessimists-Optimists see opportunities in every crisis, while pessimists see crises in every opportunity.

Father wants to "reform" the character of a pair of twin brothers because one of them is too optimistic and the other is too pessimistic. One day, he bought many colorful new toys for pessimistic children and sent optimistic children to a garage full of horse manure.

The next morning, the father saw the pessimistic child crying and asked, "Why don't you play with those toys?"

"If you play, it will be bad." The child is still crying.

The father sighed and walked into the garage, only to find that the optimistic child was happily digging out something in the horse manure.

"Tell you what, Dad," the boy proudly declared to his father, "I think there must be a pony hidden in the horse manure pile!"

Tip: The difference between an optimist and a pessimist is interesting: the optimist sees doughnuts and the pessimist sees holes.

12. Dare to take risks-for those who are afraid of danger, danger is everywhere.

One day, lobster and hermit crab met in the deep sea. The hermit crab saw that the lobster was shedding its hard shell, revealing only its delicate body. Hermit crab said nervously, "lobster, how can you give up the hard shell to protect your body?" Aren't you afraid that a big fish will eat you? In your present situation, even a torrent will wash you to the rocks, so why don't you die? "

The lobster calmly replied, "Thank you for your concern, but you don't understand that every time we lobsters grow, we have to take off our old shells to grow stronger shells." The danger we are facing now is only to prepare for better development in the future. "

Hermit crab, think about it. They just look for a place to hide all day, without thinking about how to become stronger. They just live in the shadow of others all day. No wonder they always limit their own development.

Tips: Everyone has a certain safety zone. If you want to surpass your present achievements, please don't limit yourself, dare to accept challenges and enrich yourself, and you will certainly develop better than you think.

13. Try again-what is harder than stone or softer than water? However, the soft water has penetrated the hard rock and persisted.

A young man went to Microsoft to apply for a job, and the company didn't publish a job advertisement. Seeing that the general manager was puzzled, the young man explained in broken English that he was passing by and rushed in. The general manager thought it was very new, so he made an exception and gave it a try. The interview result was unexpected, and the young man did badly. His explanation to the general manager was that he had not prepared in advance. The general manager thought he was just looking for an excuse to go down the stairs, so he casually replied, "Try again when you are ready."

A week later, the young man walked into the door of Microsoft again. This time, he still failed. But his performance is much better than the first time. The general manager still gave him the same answer as last time: "Try again when you are ready." In this way, the young man stepped into the door of Microsoft five times and was finally hired by the company, becoming the key training object of the company.

Tips: Perhaps, our life journey is full of swamps and thorns; Perhaps the scenery we are pursuing will always be mountains and rivers. Perhaps, our steps forward are always heavy and stumbling; Perhaps, we need to grope for a long time in the dark to find the light; Perhaps, our devout faith will be entangled in secular dust and fog, but we can't fly freely; Perhaps, our noble soul can't find the pure land in reality for the time being ... then, why can't we say "try again" to ourselves firmly and confidently with the courage of the brave?

Try again and you may reach the other side of success!

14. Heaven rewards diligence-no one can succeed only by talent. God gave talent, and diligence turned talent into genius.

Zeng Guofan is one of the most influential figures in the history of China, but his talent was not high when he was a child. One day, he studied at home, repeated an article many times, and read it aloud because he hadn't memorized it yet. At this time, a thief came to his house and lurked under his eaves, hoping to get some benefits after the scholar slept. But waiting and waiting, he just didn't sleep, or read the article over and over again. The thief was furious. Then recite the article and leave!

The thief is very clever, at least smarter than Mr. Zeng, but he can only be a thief, and Mr. Zeng has also become the person admired by President Mao Zedong: "The man with the greatest source of wealth in modern times."

"Diligence can make up for it, and no pains, no gains." The thief has a good memory. He was brave enough to recite the article after listening to it several times. He can jump out of "great anger" when others are not sleeping. Teach Ceng Laoshi a lesson, so we have to endorse and leave. Unfortunately, the name is unknown, and Mr. Zeng later mobilized a large number of talents. It is said that the thief has a personal relationship with Mr. Zeng.

Tip: Great success is directly proportional to hard work. Work hard and you will get something. Over time, from less to more, miracles can be created.

15. studious and tireless-a mouse with only one cave was quickly caught.

On a dark night, the mouse leader led the little mouse out for food. In a family's kitchen, there are many leftovers in the trash can. For mice, it's like humans have discovered a treasure.

Just as a large group of mice were digging a big meal in the trash can and its vicinity, suddenly there came a sound that tore all their internal organs out. It was the cry of a big cat. They were frightened and fled everywhere, but the big cat was relentless and pursued. Finally, two little mice were caught by the big cat and were about to swallow them. Suddenly there came a series of vicious dog barks, which made the big cat at a loss.

After the big cat left, Shi Shiran, the leader of the mouse, came out from behind the trash can and said, "I told you long ago that learning another language is beneficial and harmless, and this time I saved your lives."

Tip: "One more skill, one more way." Continuous learning is really a lifelong commitment of successful people.

16. Be prepared for danger in times of peace-build the dike before the flood, and the jackal will sharpen the knife first in the future.

A wolf is lying on the grass, grinding his teeth diligently. The fox saw it and said to it, "The weather is so good that everyone is resting and entertaining." Please join us! " The wolf didn't speak, and continued to grind his teeth sharp. The fox asked strangely, "The forest is so quiet, hunters and hounds have gone home, and tigers are not wandering around, so there is no danger." Why are you so gnashing your teeth? " The wolf stopped and replied, "I don't grind my teeth for fun." Think about it. If one day I am chased by hunters or tigers, it will be too late for me to gnash my teeth. I usually grind my teeth well and then I can protect myself. "

Tips: Be prepared for a rainy day and be prepared for danger in times of peace, so as not to be in a hurry when danger suddenly comes. "When the book is used, you will hate less." Usually, if you don't enrich your knowledge, it's too late to cram. Some people complain that there is no chance. But when the promotion opportunity came, they lamented that they didn't have enough knowledge and ability to be competent, so they had to regret it.

17. Dilemma is a gift-obstacle is a new known situation. As long as you are willing, any obstacle will become an opportunity to surpass yourself.

One day, the lion, known as the king of the forest, came to the gods and said, "I am very grateful to you for giving me such a magnificent physique and such great strength that I have enough ability to rule the whole forest."

Hearing this, God smiled and asked, "But that's not why you came to see me today! It seems that you are troubled by something! "

The lion gave a gentle roar and said, "God really knows me! I really want something from you today, because no matter how good my ability is, I am always woken up by crows every day. Oh, my god I beg you, give me a little more strength so that I won't be awakened by crows! "

God smiled and said, "Go find the elephant, and it will give you a satisfactory answer."

The lion hurried to the lake to look for the elephant. Before he saw the elephant, he heard the "bang" of the elephant stamping.

The lion sped up to the elephant, only to see that the elephant was stamping its feet angrily.

The lion asked the elephant, "Why are you so angry?"

The elephant shook its big ears desperately and roared, "There is a nasty little mosquito trying to get into my ear, which itches me to death."

The lion left the elephant and thought, "What can I complain about if such a huge elephant is still afraid of such a thin mosquito?" After all, chickens crow only once a day, but mosquitoes harass elephants all the time. I am much luckier than him. "

As the lion walked, he looked back at the elephant that was still stamping his feet and thought, "God told me about the elephant. It should tell me that everyone will be in trouble. It can't help everyone. In that case, I have to rely on myself! " Anyway, whenever the rooster crows in the future, I will take it as a rooster reminding me that it's time to get up. Let me see. Is it good for me? "

Tips: No matter how smoothly we go on the road of life, whenever we encounter some unpleasant things, we will habitually complain that God is not good to us, and then pray that God will give us more strength to help us tide over the difficulties. But in fact, God is the fairest. Just like lions and elephants, every dilemma has its positive value.

18. eternal lesson-many people wear magnifying glasses in the face of difficulties, but you will feel that the difficulties are nothing more than that.

The snowstorm that day was really fierce. There seemed to be countless crazy monsters howling and fighting outside. The snow is looking for a goal, the wind is sobbing and looking around.

Everyone is shouting cold, and the mind of reading seems to be frozen.

When teacher Ouyang with a red nose squeezed into the classroom, the long-awaited wind swept in, and the "Code for Middle School Students" on the wall rolled into the air like a joke and fell down again.

Ouyang, a gentle teacher in the past, is uncharacteristic: his face is solemn and even cold, just like the weather outside.

The noisy classroom quieted down, and we looked at Mr Ouyang in surprise.

"Please put on your rubber shoes and let's go to the playground."

Dozens of pairs of eyes are asking.

"Because we have to stand at attention for five minutes on the playground."

Even if Mr Ouyang threatened "don't take this class, never take my class", there were still a few delicate girls and a few horizontal boys who didn't leave the classroom.

The playground is in the northeast corner of the school, with an empty vegetable garden in the north and a big pond in the north.

On that day, the playground, vegetable garden and pond were connected into a whole by snow.

A much shorter basketball stand was snapped by snowballs, and snowballs rolling on the ground choked people's eyes. There are countless narrow knives on his face, thick clothes like iron ice, and water like ice under his feet.

We huddled under the eaves of the classroom and refused to walk half a step to the playground.

Teacher Ouyang didn't say anything either. He stood in front of us, took off his down jacket and half his sweater, and the snow helped him finish the other half. "The operating station is good!" Teacher Ouyang looked pale and told us slowly.

Nobody said a word, so we honestly went to the playground and lined up three rows.

The thin Ouyang teacher only wore a white lined coat, which made her look even thinner.

Later, we stood on the playground for more than five minutes.

When I was in the classroom, my classmates thought they couldn't beat the snowstorm. In fact, if they are allowed to stand for half an hour, they can bear it; If they are asked to wear only one shirt, they can tolerate it.

Tip: Like many injuries in life, they are not as serious as you think. They won't hurt much if you don't take them seriously. You feel pain because you think the wound is hurting and you are afraid of it.

19. Ships at sea-All ships sailing at sea are safe and sound.

Lloyd's Insurance Company of England once bought a boat from the auction market. The ship was launched on 1894, encountered icebergs 138 times in the Atlantic Ocean, hit rocks 1 16 times, caught fire 13 times, and the mast was broken by the storm 207 times. However, it never sank.

Lloyd's Insurance Company finally decided to buy from the Netherlands and donate it to the country based on its incredible experience and considerable premium income. Now the ship is moored at the National Ship Museum in Salem, England.

However, it was a lawyer who came here for sightseeing that made this ship famous in the world. At that time, he just lost a lawsuit and his client committed suicide not long ago. Although this is not the first time he failed in his defense, it is not the first time he committed suicide. However, whenever such things happen, he always feels guilty. He doesn't know how to comfort these people who have suffered misfortune in business.

When he saw the ship in the Salem Ship Museum, he suddenly had an idea, why not let them visit the ship? So, he copied the history of the ship and hung it in his legal office together with the photo of the ship. Whenever a business client comes to him for defense, he doesn't care whether he wins or loses, and suggests that they go to see the boat.

It lets us know that no ship can sail at sea without injury.

Tips: Although you have suffered setbacks, you can be strong and unyielding. This is the secret of success.

20. Are you in the well? Life should go against the current, and the most important thing is to always respect yourself.

One day, a farmer's donkey accidentally fell into a dry well. The farmer racked his brains to find a way to save the donkey, but several hours later, the donkey was still whining in the well.

Finally, the farmer decided to give up. He thinks the donkey is too old to save it, but the well must be filled in anyway. So the farmer invited his neighbor to help him bury the donkey in the well to avoid its pain.

The farmer's neighbor, with a shovel in his hand, began to shovel dirt into the dry well. When the donkey learned about his condition, he began to cry sadly. But surprisingly, the donkey was quiet after a while. The farmer looked curiously at the bottom of the well. He was stunned by what he saw:

When the mud shoveled into the well fell on the donkey's back, the donkey's reaction was amazing-it shook the mud aside and stood on the shoveled mud pile!

In this way, the donkey shook off all the dirt that everyone shoveled on it at the bottom of the well and stood up. Soon, the donkey proudly rose to the wellhead, and then ran away with everyone's surprised expression!

Tips: Just like donkeys, in the journey of life, sometimes we will inevitably fall into a "dry well" and be dumped on us by all kinds of "mud". The secret of getting out of these "dry wells" is to shake off the "mud" and then stand on it!
