Gorky, a great writer, never thought that he would be rejected by others. You know, his name is the best sign.

Gorky got lost when traveling and went to a small village on the border of China at night. It was snowing so hard that he was too cold to stand up. When I finally saw someone, I knocked on the door and asked for accommodation.

An old lady asked loudly in the room, "Who are you?"

Gorky said, "Alexei Macsimovici! Peter Skoff! "

"There are too many people!" The old lady slammed the door that she had just opened.

Gorky had no choice but to stay outside the door.

Mao Mu's advertisement

Mao Mu, a famous British novelist, lived in poverty before becoming famous. Although he published a valuable book, no one cared after it was published. In order to attract people's attention, Mao Mu ingeniously published the following personals in major newspapers:

"I like music and sports. I am a young educated millionaire. I hope to marry a woman who is exactly the same as the protagonist in Mao Mu's novels. "

A few days later, Mao Mu's books were out of stock in bookstores all over London.

Tolstoy's patience

Tolstoy, the great Russian writer, has countless admirers, and his words are even regarded as wise words. In addition to fame and status, he and his wife have rich property and lovely children. It seems that no one has a better marriage than theirs.

However, Tolstoy gradually became disgusted with what he called aristocratic writing. He rewrote the essay, advocated peace and called for the elimination of poverty. In order to pursue a simple and simple life, he gave his real estate to others. But as always, the wife spends money like water, pursues vanity and luxury, makes friends with celebrities, and is very angry with her husband's generosity and kindness. Tolstoy wants to give up all his royalties, but she wants to turn her husband's books into money. Once Tolstoy objected, she immediately roared, rolled on the ground, even took out opium and swallowed it, claiming suicide, or ran to the well to make a jump well to threaten her husband.

Several times Tolstoy decided never to see his wife again, but every time, his wife would come and hug her husband's knee and beg him to read the sentence praising her beauty and their love in his diary fifty years ago again. Tolstoy always relents when he reads these words.

However, his wife's insistence finally made Tolstoy unbearable. 19 10 On a snowy night in June, 82-year-old Tolstoy left home alone. 1 1 days later, Tolstoy died of hepatitis at a station.

A little thing in life can often change a person's fate. Similarly, pushing a door open for others is also leaving a way for yourself. Similarly, a short story full of human warmth can also change a person's life.

Socrates' regret

Socrates, a great philosopher in ancient Greece, had a great regret during his lifetime-his right-hand man for many years failed to find the best closed disciple for him for more than half a year.

Here's the thing. Socrates, at the age of wind erosion, knew that his time was running out, so he wanted to test and enlighten his assistant who looked good at ordinary times. He called his assistant to the bed and said, "I don't have much wax." I have to find another wax to light it. Do you understand what I mean? " "I see," the assistant said quickly. "Your brilliant thoughts have been passed down well ..."

"But," Suraji said slowly, "I need the best heir. He should not only have considerable wisdom, but also have full confidence and extraordinary courage ... so far he has never seen such a candidate. Please help me find and discover such a person. " "Okay, okay." The assistant said meekly and respectfully, "I will try my best to find it and live up to your cultivation and trust."

Half a year later, Socrates is about to die, and the best candidate has not yet been determined. The assistant was so ashamed that he sat on the bed with tears on his face and said with a heavy voice, "I'm really sorry to disappoint you!" " "I'm disappointed, but you're sorry. "Socrates closed his eyes in frustration, paused for a long time, and then said sadly," Originally, the best thing was yourself, but you didn't believe in yourself, so you neglected, delayed and lost yourself ... "Before the words were finished, a generation of philosophers left the world he had been deeply concerned about forever.

The assistant regretted it very much, and even regretted and blamed himself all his life.

The value of life

At a seminar, a famous speaker held up a $20 bill without making 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." With that, he crumpled up the money and asked, "Who wants more? There are people holding hands. He threw the money on the ground again, 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 his hand.

"My friends, you had a very meaningful lesson. No matter how I treat that bill, you still want it, because it has not depreciated, and it is still worth $20. "

On the road of life, we will be knocked down by our own decisions or adversity countless times, and even crushed to pieces. But no matter what happens, we will never lose value. The value of life does not change because of our status, nor does it depend on the people we make, but on ourselves! Never forget this!
