The story of fisherman and philosopher
A philosopher crossed the river in a fisherman's boat. While sailing, the philosopher asked the fisherman, "Do you know anything about mathematics?" The fisherman replied, "I don't understand." The philosopher asked again, "Do you know anything about physics?" The fisherman replied, "I don't understand." The philosopher asked again, "Do you know chemistry?" The fisherman replied, "I don't understand." The philosopher sighed, "What a pity! In this way, you will lose half your life. " At this time, there was a strong wind on the water and the boat capsized. Both the fisherman and the philosopher fell into the water. The fisherman shouted to the philosopher, "Sir, can you swim?" The philosopher replied, "No." The fisherman said with great regret, "then you will lose your life!" " "
This story contains a very profound philosophy of life: a person who has not learned to swim in the long river of life cannot survive in this long river of life, even if he has learned more other things. Because he lacks basic adaptability and viability.

He stood up to protest and forgave the author. He said: "I dare not say that there is evidence of rebellion in the book, but there is no doubt that there is a lot of evidence of felony in the book."
"Why did this happen? Where is it? " The queen asked eagerly.
"This kind of evidence can be found in many passages he plagiarized from the ancient Roman historian Tesitas (55- 1 17)." Bacon answered seriously.

People around him advised him to write a sequel until now. The philosopher spread out his hands and said, "gentlemen, you have given me too much honor, but I don't want to write any more for four reasons: I am too old, too fat, too lazy and too rich."
Who is left?
Hume attended a dinner party shortly before his death. At the banquet, a guest complained that the world is full of hostility and the opposition between people is too deep. Old philosophers don't think so. "No, it's not what you said." He said seriously, "You see, I have written all kinds of hostile topics before. Morality, politics, economy and religion, but I have no enemies, except Whigs, Tories and Christians. "
rise again
A reader from a remote province wrote an eloquent letter to the French philosopher and writer Voltaire (1694- 1778), expressing his admiration.
Voltaire wrote back thanking him for his kindness. From then on, every 10 days, this person wrote a letter to Voltaire. Voltaire's reply is getting shorter and shorter. Finally, one day, the philosopher couldn't bear it anymore and replied with a line: "Sir, I am dead."
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the reply came again. The envelope said, "I would like to present the great Mr. Voltaire under the grave."
Voltaire wrote back soon: "I am eager to see you, please come quickly."

How can it be again
17 17, Voltaire was imprisoned in the Bastille 1 1 month for mocking the Regent Duke of Orleans. After getting out of prison, the philosopher who had suffered enough knew that this man could not be offended, so he thanked him for his generosity and let bygones be bygones. The Regent is well aware of Voltaire's influence, and he is eager to make peace with Voltaire. So both of them made a lot of proper apologies. Finally, Voltaire thanked me again and said, "Your Majesty, you are really helpful in solving the accommodation problem for me for such a long time. Thanks again. But in the future, you don't have to worry about this. "
chronic poisoning
Voltaire was so addicted to coffee that he drank an amazing amount of coffee in his life. A kind-hearted person once warned him: "Don't drink this drink again, it is a chronic poison, and you are slowly killing yourself!" "

False praise
Voltaire, who was bohemian and always ridiculed the great men at that time, praised a fellow writer one day. One of his friends immediately pointed out, "I am sorry to hear that you praised this gentleman so generously." You know, this gentleman often speaks ill of you behind your back. "
"It seems that we are both wrong." Voltaire said.
Verify the pastor's integrity
When Voltaire was bedridden at the age of 84, waiting for his death, an affectionate priest went to his bedside and prayed for his confession-this is the consistent lesson of ordering air tickets or admission tickets for the dying. However, this stubborn old man not only did not appreciate it, but inquired about the identity of others: "Mr. Pastor, who called you?"
"Monsieur Voltaire, God sent me to pray and repent for you."
"Then show your certificate and verify your identity to prevent forgery."

"Young lady," Cohen said seriously, "you should remember that Hercules has done many errands. He cleaned King Ogias's stables for 3,000 years. Do you have to fill it with something? "

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.
Philosophy: In fact, in the eyes of the master of employing people, there are no useless people, just like the master of martial arts. You don't need an expensive sword, but picking flowers and flying leaves will hurt people. The key is how to use them.
There was a Lu man who was good at weaving straw sandals and his wife was good at weaving white silk. He wants to move to Vietnam. His friend said to him, "If you go to Vietnam, you will be poor." "Why?" "Straw sandals are used to walk, but Vietnamese people are used to walking barefoot; White silk is used to make hats, but Vietnamese people are used to long hair. With your strengths, go to places that are not needed, so is it possible to keep yourself from being poor? "
Idea: If a person wants to develop his own specialty, he must adapt to the needs of the social environment. If it is divorced from the needs of the social environment, its expertise will lose its value. Therefore, we should decide our own actions according to the needs of society and give full play to our own specialties.
King Wen of Wei asked the famous doctor Bian Que, "Your three brothers are all good at medical skills, which one 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.
Idea: control after the event is not as good as control during the event, and control during the event is not as good as control before.
A guest visited someone's house and saw that the chimney on the stove was straight and there was a lot of wood next to it. The guest told the host that the chimney had to be bent and the wood had to be removed, otherwise it might catch fire later, but the host didn't give any indication. Soon, the owner's house caught fire, and the neighbors rushed to put out the fire. Finally, the fire was put out, so the owner cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle, entertained neighbors and rewarded them for their contribution to the fire fighting, but he didn't invite the person who suggested that he remove the wood and change the chimney. Someone said to the host, "if you had listened to that gentleman, you wouldn't have to prepare a banquet today, and there would be no fire damage." It is very strange now that the person who gave you advice is not grateful, but the person who put out the fire is a guest! " The host suddenly realized that he quickly invited the guest who had given the suggestion to have a drink.
