Classic inspirational philosophy story 1 1. Choice

A farmer saved his wife from the flood, but his child was 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.

Second, the way of employing people.

Anyone who has been to the temple knows that as soon as he enters the temple gate, the first one is Amitabha, welcoming guests with a smiling face, while in the north of him, it is 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 it.

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.

Third, parrots

A man went to buy a parrot and saw a sign in front of it: This parrot can speak two languages, 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.

Fourth, Bian Que's medical skills.

King Wen of Wei asked the famous doctor Bian Que, "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 2 Don't let yourself become garbage.

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".

Classic inspirational philosophy story 3 After graduating from college, I got a job in a computer software company. Every day during my lunch break, I often play Tetris on the computer to kill time.

My girlfriend Wenshan is also an expert at Tetris. She once scored as high as 654.38+00000, and no one can break this record. When Wenshan watched me play Tetris, she often yelled at me next to me, which made me anxious and panicked, and soon ended in failure. Whenever this happens, Wenshan will point her finger at my head and say, "You are so stupid. How many times have I told you, you still make the same mistake. "

After lunch break, I was still intoxicated with playing Tetris in front of the computer. Suddenly, I heard an exclamation from behind me: "Well, young man, you are a master at playing Tetris!" " "

I looked back and it was the president of the company. I was so scared that I immediately stood up and greeted the president, thinking that I was going to be scolded. Unexpectedly, the president kindly said to me, "I like playing Tetris, too." I just looked behind you for a while. You are very skilled and a master. " After that, the president sat in my seat with great interest and said to me, "Watch me play for a while and see where I need guidance."

You can tell at a glance that the president is also a Tetris player. He is an expert in moving, rotating, placing and arranging. However, when it comes to the automatic output box, the president will make mistakes in his busy work, and the words "You are so stupid" will pop up soon. The president was a little embarrassed, and then he started again.

I reminded the president to remember the rules of each box, and reminded him to see the next hint and think about where to put it in advance; Especially when the speed is relatively fast, don't be greedy for more points, just keep accumulating small points.

After I reminded him, the president immediately made improvements, and he really made great progress. The president's interest in playing diamonds is getting higher and higher, and the impromptu part is still shouting and sweeping away the usual serious and unsmiling face.

Unconsciously, the lunch break is over. When I said goodbye, the president held my hand and said, "Come to my office when you are free, and we will exchange more experiences and experiences in playing Tetris."

In this way, in my spare time, I often play Tetris with the President. Once, as if remembering something, the president suddenly stopped playing Tetris and looked up at me closely. Those eyes, like a sword, pierced my heart. Looking at that, I feel a little guilty and timid. I don't know why the president looks at me like this. Is there something wrong with me?

I only heard the President ask me slowly, "Let me ask you a question. What advice does Tetris tell us? "

I looked at the president doubtfully, thinking how could the president ask such a question? Games are for people to play. What advice can you give? Seeing me scratching my head, the president smiled and said, "Tetris actually tells us that mistakes will accumulate and success will disappear." In the workplace, you must always remember this advice and don't make mistakes on the same issue. If you accumulate mistakes, it will lead to big mistakes and make your accumulated small successes go up in smoke. "

What the president said suddenly dawned on me. Unexpectedly, the president can realize a profound philosophy of life from the game, which moved me.

In the workplace, I always remember Tetris's advice, cherish every bit of success in life, and never let myself make a little mistake. Although success is exciting, it will also be beaten by a low-level mistake.

Classic inspirational philosophy story 4 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 5 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.

Classic inspirational philosophy story 6 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 philosophical story: the seventh place is happier than the second place.

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".

Classic inspirational philosophy story 8 athletes who can't get up.

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.

Classic inspirational philosophy story 9 heart hand

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. .

Classic inspirational philosophy story 10 shocked the starting line

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 "30-person 3l-foot" competition takes classes as a 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 the teams, the performance of the Tokyo team is particularly outstanding. They are "40 people with 465,438+0 feet", 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!

Classic inspirational philosophy story 1 1 In an American basketball season, Jordan was selected by the 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.
