short stories
strong Helen
"I want to regard what others see as my sun, what others hear as my music, and the smile on others' lips as my happiness." -Helen? Keller
It's hard to imagine how blind she climbed over by feeling the thorns; I can't understand how she felt the ringing of the earth when she was deaf. I think it must be the sunshine in her heart calling her and showing her the way.
From her spirit, her quality and her belief, it is not difficult to see that in her eyes, every day is hope and she lives for hope forever. Hope is the foundation of her success.
Pursuing the truth, not avoiding difficulties
The last leaf
O? Henry wrote such a story in the novel The Last Leaf: A young female painter, Johnsy, was dying of pneumonia. In the doctor's words, "There is only one tenth hope of recovery from his illness, and this hope is his wish to live." It was late autumn, and Johnsy began to count the leaves on an old ivy outside the window. She is convinced that when the last leaf falls off, she should go. However, the last leaf left on the rattan is always willing to fall off despite the wind and rain. Johnsy was encouraged by this, and her illness got better and better day by day. Finally, she felt that "it is sinful to want to die". Under the treatment of the doctor, her body miraculously recovered.
The power of faith
This is a true story that happened in Africa. Six miners were mining coal under a deep mine. Suddenly, the mine collapsed, the exit was blocked, and the miners were immediately cut off from the outside world. This kind of accident is not uncommon in the local area. With experience, they realize that the biggest problem they face is lack of oxygen, and the underground air can keep them alive for up to three and a half hours.
only one out of six people has a watch. So it was agreed that the person wearing the watch would report it every half hour. When the first half hour passed, the miner wearing a watch said simply, "It's been half an hour." But his heart is extremely nervous and anxious, because this is to inform everyone that the death line is approaching. Then he suddenly had a brainwave and decided not to let everyone die so painfully. The second and a half hours arrived, and he didn't make any noise. After another quarter of an hour, he braced himself and said, "It's been an hour." In fact, 75 minutes have passed. It was another hour before the miners wearing watches reported the so-called "half an hour" for the third time. His companions thought that 9 minutes had passed, and only he knew that 135 minutes had passed.
Four and a half hours after the accident, rescuers finally came in. To their surprise, five of the six people were still alive, and only one person died of suffocation-he was the miner wearing a watch.
this is the power of faith. Due to the vague consciousness of the survivors, people can't know when the victim stopped telling the time, but he gave his companions hope for survival, but he didn't stick it out because he knew the truth.
A pot of water
A team of archaeologists got lost in the desert. When water was extremely scarce, the captain took the heavy last pot of water and said, "Now, we only have one pot of water left, and we can't drink it until the most difficult time!" Along the way, the team members fainted from thirst many times, but the captain didn't let everyone drink this pot of water. Finally, they finally walked out of the desert. The team members were ecstatic and asked the captain to take out water to congratulate them. The captain raised the kettle and the thin sand flew with the wind: "This is a full pot of faith!"
pearls and sand
There is a grain of sand. When I saw my friends around me drilling into the mussel, they all became pearls, so I was envious, so I made up my mind to learn from them to prove my value. It asked a clam to let itself get into its shell and dreamed of becoming a beautiful pearl. Before long, the sand was wrapped in white mucus secreted by mussels, which became tighter and tighter, making it breathless. Sha thought that the process of becoming a pearl was so painful that I never wanted to be a pearl again. Finally, the sand could not stand the painful training, and was spit back to the bottom of the sea by the clam, and its partners became beautiful pearls.
The value of pearls and sand is very different. If you think about it carefully, the difference between them is only a short period of process and experience. Isn't that the case with people? Each of us could have been a beautiful pearl, but often because of various personality weaknesses and behavioral deviations, we lost our due luster and wisdom, but just a grain of sand. Why not remove the weakness of human nature now and make yourself more perfect? You are also a pearl, so you should light up your life.
wonderful passage
1. If we want to explain China's traditional moral concept, I think it comes down to a word "righteousness". "Righteousness" can be divided into "great righteousness" and "small righteousness". Planning for the country and the country is for the righteousness. In ancient China, literati, whether in seclusion or as an official, never forgot to care about the country and the people, which is to care about the righteousness. Those who enter the official position are in the temple and worry about the whole world; I dare not forget my country's worries. Even if I live in rivers and lakes, it is still "the rise and fall of the country, and every man is responsible." Hermit, whether hidden in the mountains or hidden in the city, will also have worries in his heart. Because if you are not obsessed with morality and disappointed with reality, you don't have to hide. Of course, fame and fortune can be left behind, but righteousness can't. Seclusion is to defend morality. From Fan Zhongyan's idea of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later" to Donglin Party members' concern for everything, they all express a kind of benevolence and righteousness, and also show the traditional concept of home and country of China people. As for xiaoyi, it is about personal self-cultivation experience; Talk about family harmony, filial piety, brotherly love, and respect for husband and wife; Talk about the behavior of the world, advance and retreat, and be polite. All this has a moral existence. Whether it's a big sense or a small sense, they all belong to a force of moral norms. What is truth, what is beauty, what is goodness, what is benevolence and righteousness, and what is loyalty and filial piety? The cognition of these concepts all comes from the moral values and values in China's traditional spiritual civilization. Even if you are not afraid of likui jy, you should be a good son in Shi Naian's works and be afraid of his "brother Song Jiang". That is to say, even if likui jy went to Liangshan, he must obey the traditional moral spirit. Moreover, when the court became the unjust party, Liangshan became the representative of righteousness.
2. Morality is the link between people and it is inevitable. It is not equal to the law, but has a lot of flexibility. The constraint of morality on people is invisible, and it depends on people's consciousness, personal cultivation and public opinion supervision.
3. Many moral concepts have a long history. Through long-term thinking training, they have become a brand of ideas and passed down from generation to generation. Such as basic hunger and respect for parents, love for the young, and other ethics. In a society, if there is no moral binding force, human activities will lack order and fall into chaos, and the coagulant of interpersonal relationship will be pale and powerless. Once divorced from morality, social order is like a wild horse that is out of control, which will lead to social unrest. The existence of morality ensures the normal operation of social activities, just as human survival cannot be separated from oxygen. This is the value of moral existence.
4. If people can persevere, nothing can be accomplished in the world. Without Xuanzang's perseverance and difficulties, there would be no publication of the book "The Tale of the Western Regions of Datang". Without Xu Xiake's perseverance, there would be no Compendium of Materia Medica. This also shows that in our life, we need to have persistent beliefs. Look, it's blue ...
5. In a narrow basin, you don't want to curl up. You put your roots deep into the earth, draw sweet spring water, breathe the breath of life into the whirlpool of the universe, hold your head high and smile, and you firmly believe that you will bloom the most beautiful flowers. ?
On a stormy day, I tried to move you into the house, but I failed. Your roots have come out from the bottom of the flowerpot and firmly grasped Mother Earth's chest. You are telling me, "What is this pain beside Mother?" Isn't it?
You broke through the artificial cage with strong faith, and you kept drawing on it with unyielding will. You swore that you would repay the world with the best.
You have experienced the coldness in the wind and rain, the loneliness in the dark, the scorching sun and the colorful ridicule. When the beautiful butterfly flew away, you were disappointed, however, for your own declaration, you insisted on being alone.
When the colorful flowers are gone, when the yellow leaves are no longer flying, you give all your savings for one year. The autumn air is light, elegant, thin and transparent, so it is full of the fragrance of chrysanthemums. You still smile, like Snow White in the myth, like a bride who is blushing before getting married, like the golden hope flying in her heart ...
6. There is no one who has no love for himself or his relatives. How many hardships and hardships, the oath is still clear. My sister's bright and eager eyes, my younger brother's tender shoulders, my mother's graying hair and the picture of silk thread fluttering in the wind in the broken coat in the bitter north wind seized my heart. For me, they lost what they deserved, and I was ashamed of my weakness. However, Ju told me: It's not time to be ashamed now, because faith must persist until the end!
7. The spiritual home is like the human mind, and it should be broader than the earth, the sea and the sky. The prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, which makes us admire more than enough. People's spiritual activities should be a broad mind, so that they can hold the joys and sorrows of life and lose their strength, so as to overcome the difficulty of seeing people's faults and seeing their own faults; It is not easy to know others, and it is even more difficult to have self-knowledge. And the spirit people want to pursue is precisely the desire to find their own spirit of longing, longing for passion, even if it will bring pain; People don't like their spirit to be as calm as stagnant water, without ripples, with fragrant green lotus, dry rain on the leaves, clear and round water surface, and abundant spring scenery without wind and green lotus; There is no lingering spring in which fish play in the lotus, swallows fly obliquely, the wind is light and the rain is light.
there are many kinds of life and many streets. The joys and sorrows of life, the ups and downs of fate, reality has set up a stage here. Deep and shallow years, looming time. Narrating, warning, walking; Decorate with the green leaves of life, guide the way to the depths of the soul, guard the innocence of life, and at the same time offer a heart without regrets. Calm and carefree, confused and thinking, picking sadness, weaving beauty, laughing at sadness, talking about life, integrating into history and culture, and feeling the true meaning of life. A little candlelight talk, a roll of soul film, a bunch of life, a walking and singing, turned into light and meaningful words, trickling through the world.
Without these spiritual factors, no amount of wealth can make you happy and the society peaceful and stable. Therefore, people should choose the depths of the soul where the moon is cold and the bamboo trees are lush, and create a spiritual home for themselves. Spiritual home, whether it is big or small, is very world-wide. It is the obligation of intelligent beings to establish spiritual habitat, and everyone has such rights. We may not be beautiful, but we should be healthy. We may not be great, but we should be solemn. We may not be perfect, but we are trying. We may not be happy, but we should be sincere. Don't underestimate the nurturing effect of career on spirit or the corrosive effect on it on the contrary. It holds our spirit hostage with far-reaching strength and breadth. The spiritual home must live in the career you love. Spiritual home should also be maintained with optimism, which will give you strength in the face of sudden misfortune. It will beautify the nature between heaven and earth into a clear spring of spirit to filter out your impetuousness, and use the clear spring of spirit to clean up the dust of your heart. In a wonderful spiritual realm, endless interest and state of mind are creeping up, not led by fame and fortune, not tired by desire, which makes your mind calm and peaceful and your career prosperous.
Spiritual Journey
Going up to the building to remember the past
Wandering around the world, gazing at the ancient and luxurious Yueyang Tower at the foot of Baqiu Mountain, it is still deducing its amorous feelings in the dust. Boarding this historic scenic spot and setting foot on this cultural historic site full of political colors, people are not as leisurely as expected. Instead, there is an inexplicable melancholy, which is "sunny in the morning and cloudy in the evening, full of weather" and unhappy for the clear wind and bright moon. Watching the distant sunset, the political feelings of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later" have added a few rich connotations.
Going upstairs to reminisce about the past, Fan Zhongyan was full of sorrow and resentment because his political ambitions could not be displayed. Now, when I was collecting things, I inadvertently came to his noble heart and the state of mind endowed by the distant lofty spirit.
lean on the railing and meditate
Go ahead with a little bit of dignity and stay by the ancient railing. "At the top of the building at sunset, in the sound of a broken rainbow, a wanderer in the south of the Yangtze River saw Wu Gou and patted the railings all over." This is Xin Qiji's racket bar. The ancient fence stood still in the evening breeze, silent and speechless, and it was thousands of years away from my eyes. Have you ever thought about Xin Gong's patriotic ambition and his hard-won difficulties in reporting the national conditions? Touching this railing that has been photographed all over, a sense of historical responsibility arises spontaneously, and I am willing to return to the prosperous times of Tang and Song Dynasties and wipe the tears of heroes.
think on the fence, look for the past of the ancients, and go home.
