Hearing this, God smiled and asked, "But that's not why you came to see me today!" " ! It seems that something is bothering you! "
The lion gave a gentle roar and said, "God really knows me! I came here today to ask for something. Because my ability is no matter how good, I am always awakened by crows every day. Oh, my god I beg you, give me a little more strength, so that I don't wake up 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 who always tries to get into my ear and tickles me to death."
As the lion walked, he looked back at the elephant that was still stamping his feet and thought, "God wants me to see the elephant. I think he just wants to tell me that everyone will be in trouble, but it can't help everyone." In that case, I can only rely on myself! Anyway, whenever a chicken crows in the future, I will take it as a chicken to remind me that it's time to get up. Let me see. Is it good for me? "
Tip: Obstacle is a new known situation. As long as you are willing, any obstacle will become an opportunity to surpass yourself. On the road of life, no matter how smooth we go, as long as we encounter some unsatisfactory things, we will habitually complain that God treats us badly, 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. The second story: success is not as difficult as you think. 1965, a Korean student went to Cambridge University to study psychology. During afternoon tea, he often goes to the school cafe or teahouse to listen to some successful people chatting. These successful people include Nobel Prize winners, academic authorities in certain fields and some people who have created economic myths. These people are humorous and easy to lift weights. They all regard their success as natural and logical. After a long time, he found himself cheated by some successful people when he was in China. Those people generally exaggerate the hardships of starting a business in order to let those who are starting a business retreat, that is to say, they are scaring those who have not succeeded with their own successful experience.
As a student of psychology department, he thinks it is necessary to study the mentality of successful people in Korea. 1970, he took "Success is not as difficult as you think" as his graduation thesis and submitted it to Will, the founder of modern economic psychology. Professor Braden. After reading it, Professor Braden was greatly surprised. He thinks this is a new discovery. Although this phenomenon is very common in the East and even the whole world, no one has boldly proposed to study it before. Surprised, he wrote to his Cambridge alumnus park chung-hee, who was sitting at the top of Korean politics. He said in the letter: "I can't say how much this book has helped you, but I'm sure it can shock you more than any of your laws."
Later, this book really took off with the Korean economy. This book has inspired many people, because it tells people from a new angle that success is not necessarily related to "stretching bones, starving the body and starving the skin", "burning the midnight oil" and "hanging the beam on the head and stabbing the leg". As long as you are interested in a certain cause, you will succeed if you persist for a long time, because God has given you enough time and wisdom to successfully complete a thing. Later, the young man also achieved success. He became the president of Pan Ye Automobile Company.
Tips: It is not because things are difficult, so I dare not do it, but I dare not do it. Many things in the world, as long as you want to do it, you can do it, and the difficulties you should overcome can also be overcome. As long as a person is living a simple and interesting life, he will eventually find that the creator's arrangement for the world is natural. The third story: the pursuit of ecstasy 1858, a rich family in Sweden gave birth to a daughter. However, soon, the child contracted an unexplained paralysis and lost the ability to walk.
Once, the girl and her family traveled by boat. The captain's wife told the child that the captain had a bird of paradise.

The child couldn't bear to wait, so he asked the waiter on board to take her to see the bird of paradise at once. The waiter didn't know that her legs couldn't walk, just took her to see the beautiful birds. Miracle happened, the child, because of excessive desire, forgot to hold the waiter's hand and walked slowly. Since then, the child's illness has recovered.

Only in such an environment can people transcend their own constraints and release the greatest energy. The fourth story: 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 to war. The father became a general and the son was just a pawn. Another horn sounded, the drums roared, and my father solemnly raised an quiver with an arrow in it. The father solemnly said to his son, "This is the treasure arrow at home. It is extremely powerful when you carry it with you, but you must never take it out. "
This is an extremely delicate quiver, made of thick cowhide, inlaid with faint shiny copper edges, and look at the arrow's exposed tail. You can tell at a glance that it is made of fine peacock feathers. The son is beaming and greedily speculates about the appearance of the shaft and arrow, as if the arrow whizzed past his ear and the enemy commander died in response.
Sure enough, Bao Jian's son is heroic and invincible. When the trumpet sounded, the son could no longer resist the heroic spirit of victory and completely abandoned his father's words. A strong desire drove him to shout and pull out his treasure arrow, trying to find out. 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, as if the house had lost its pillar in an instant and collapsed.
The result is self-evident, and my son died tragically in the disorderly army.
Blowing away the misty smoke, my father picked up the broken arrow and spat heavily: "If you don't believe in your will, you will never be a general."
Tip: If you don't believe in your will, you will never be a general. You are an arrow. If you want it to be tough, sharp, piercing, sharpening and saving, you can only be yourself. The fifth story: Try again. A young man went to Microsoft to apply for a job, and the company didn't publish a job advertisement. Seeing the general manager 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 let him try it. The interview result was unexpected, and the young people performed poorly. 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, and this time he failed. But compared with the first time, his performance is much better. The general manager 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.
Tip: What is harder than stone or softer than water? However, the soft water has penetrated the hard rock and persisted. 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! The sixth story: draw a leaf for life, American writer Ou; Henry told a story in his novel The Last Leaf: In the ward, a dying patient saw a tree outside the window from his room and fell down one by one in the autumn wind. The patient looked at the rustling leaves in front of him and his health went from bad to worse. She said, "When all the leaves are gone, I will die." When an old painter learned about it, he drew a leaf with green veins with a colored pen and hung it on a branch.
The last leaf never fell. Because of the green color in life, the patient miraculously survived.
Tip: Draw a leaf for life. The seventh story: Crossing Yourself One day, a lobster and a hermit crab met in the deep sea, and the hermit crab saw that the lobster was shedding its hard shell, leaving only its delicate body exposed. Hermit crab said nervously, "lobster, how can you give up the only hard shell that protects 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 under the protection of others all day. No wonder they always limit their own development.
Tips: For those who are afraid of danger, danger is everywhere. 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. The eighth story: eternal lessons. The snowstorm that day was really fierce. There seemed to be countless crazy monsters howling and fighting outside. The snow is looking for the target of attack, and the wind is sobbing and searching everywhere. Everyone is shouting cold, and the mind of reading seems to be frozen. The sound of stamping feet in the room. 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 another one fell down. 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 the face, thick clothes are like iron blocks of ice, and feet are like water stepping on ice.
We huddled under the eaves of the classroom and refused to walk half a step to the playground. 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: In the face of difficulties, many people wear magnifying glasses, but if you struggle with difficulties, you will feel that the difficulties are nothing more than that. Like many pains in life, it is not as serious as you think. If it's not serious, it won't hurt very much. You feel pain because you think the wound is hurting and you are afraid of pain. The ninth story: always bring a ticket. There is a person who travels a lot and often can't buy the right ticket. But no matter the distance, no matter how crowded the bus is, he can always find a seat.
His method is actually very simple, that is, patiently looking for one car after another. 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 an empty seat. He said that this is because not many passengers are so persistent in finding seats. Often there are some seats left in the carriage where he sits, but at the junction of the aisles and carriages of other carriages, it is actually very crowded.
Tip: Life is really interesting: if you only accept the best, you will often get the best. Self-confidence, persistence, foresight, and diligence in practice will make you hold a ticket for the journey of life forever. The tenth story: the hard stone in the heart Once upon a time, there was a big stone in a family's garden, about 40 cm wide and 10 cm high. People who go to the vegetable garden will accidentally kick the 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 put into the present since your grandfather's time. It is so big that I don't know when it will be dug. 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 big stones in the vegetable garden are making me uncomfortable more and more. Please ask someone to move 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 stay until now? "
Daughter-in-law's heart is very bad I don't know how many times that big stone made her fall. 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: What hinders our discovery and creation are only our psychological obstacles and stubborn stones in our minds. If you climb the mountain with the idea of going downhill, you can't climb it. 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.
