Let me give you some material

1. Never give up hope of life

In the morning, a lumberjack went to the forest to cut wood as usual. When he cut down a thick pine tree with a chainsaw, the tree trunk rebounded and pressed heavily on his right leg. The severe pain made his eyesight feel dark. At this point, he knew that the first thing he had to do was stay awake. He tried to pull his legs out, but couldn't. So he picked up the ax at hand and chopped hard at the tree trunk. After three or four chops, the ax handle broke. He picked up the chainsaw again and started cutting the tree. However, he soon discovered that the fallen pine tree was at a 45-degree angle, and the huge pressure could jam the chainsaw blade at any time; if the chainsaw broke down, this place was inaccessible and there was no other way. He was cruel, picked up the electric saw, pointed it at his right leg, and amputated it himself┅┅

The lumberjack simply bandaged the leg and decided to crawl back. Along the way, he endured severe pain, crawled inch by inch, fell into coma again and again, and woke up again and again, with only one thought in his mind: he must go back alive!

2. Affirm life, respect life

Bill's eyes were injured in an accident, his vision continued to decline, and he will be completely blind in a few months. In order to leave something for him to see the light of day, his wife decided to paint the furniture and walls.

The painter works very seriously. Although he was a disabled man with half an arm broken, he was very happy and whistled while working. He finished the painting a week later, during which time he learned about Bill's situation.

Bill said to the painter: "You are so happy every day, which makes me happy too." When calculating the wages, the painter missed the calculation by $100.

Bill was puzzled: "You undercalculated the wages."

The painter said: "I have already paid more. A man who is about to become blind is still so calm. You let me know What is courage?"

But Bill insisted on giving the painter another $100. He said: "I know that disabled people can be self-reliant and live happily."

3. Soul Introspection

One summer noon, I took the bus to work. I was unlucky and there was no seat on the bus.

There was a beautiful girl sitting on the seat next to her. Her elegant sitting posture made me feel happy and added a touch of joy to the boring schedule.

Soon, a rural woman holding a baby came up and stood beside us. The car bumped violently, and the woman clung to the armrest, holding the crying baby in one hand, and her body swayed with the car. From time to time, the woman would bump into the fashionable girl sitting there, and she would sheepishly mutter "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

I saw the girl frowning, flapping her clothes hastily, and quickly moving out of the way as if encountering the god of plague. She said "What bad luck!" while quickly turning her head towards the window.

Looking at her again, she was still sitting in the same posture as before. But I no longer find it pleasing to the eye.

4. Understand your own potential

A farmer saw the light truck his son was driving suddenly overturning into a ditch. He was greatly alarmed and hurried to the scene of the accident. When he saw water in the ditch, his son was pressed under the car, with only his head above the water. Without hesitation, he jumped into the ditch, reached under the car with his hands, and lifted the car up. Another worker who came to his aid helped him pull his unconscious son out from underneath.

The local doctor arrived quickly. After examination, he found that the farmer's son only had a scratch on his skin and no other injuries. At this time, the farmer felt strange. When he lifted the car just now, he didn't even think about whether he could lift it. Out of curiosity, he tried it again, but this time he couldn't lift the car at all.

5. Kaleidoscope of Emotions

British scientist Faraday had poor physical health when he was young. Coupled with stressful work and overuse of his brain, his body was very weak, and many treatments were ineffective. Later, a famous doctor examined him. The doctor did not prescribe him any medicine, but only sent one sentence: "One clown in the city is better than a dozen famous doctors." Faraday savored this proverb carefully and realized the mystery. From then on, he often found time to go to circuses and comedies. Wonderful performances always made him laugh. He also went to the wild and the seaside for vacations to change his life and always maintain a happy mood. Over time, Faraday's body gradually recovered.

6. Adjust your emotions

Once upon a time, there was an old woman who had two sons. The eldest son sold umbrellas, and the younger son opened a washing and dyeing shop. As soon as it rains, the old lady will worry and say: "Hey! Where can I dry my little son's laundry? If it doesn't work, the customers will be in trouble with him┅┅"

The weather has cleared up , the sun came out, but the old lady was still worried: "Hey! Look at this sunny day, how can anyone come to buy my eldest son's umbrella!" In this way, the old lady was worried all day long, couldn't eat, and couldn't sleep. .

Seeing that she was getting older day by day, the neighbor said to her: "Grandma, you are so lucky! When it rains, your eldest son's umbrellas sell very well. My son’s shop is full of customers, it’s really enviable!”

The old lady thought about it, yes! Why didn't I think of that! From then on, the old woman no longer worried. She ate well, slept soundly, and spent the whole day. Everyone said she seemed to be a different person.

7. Learn to say no

On the grassland on an African summer night, a strong donkey was grazing peacefully. A small vampire bat quietly landed on the donkey's hind hoof and gently licked the donkey's ankle with the tip of its tiny tongue. At first, the donkey kept lifting its hooves or sweeping its tail back and forth. Gradually, it felt comfortable being licked, no longer agitated, and continued to eat grass. In this way, the donkey was anesthetized, and the bat took a small bite and drank the donkey's blood in turns with its companions. The "murder bat" only used comfortable and fatal temptations, and killed opponents thousands of times bigger than himself while the donkey was intoxicated.

Reading Tips: Bad temptations are sometimes like little vampire bats, approaching you quietly and slowly corroding you. Are there such "murder bats" around us? How can we not be fooled?

8. How to boil water

A young man went to a wise man full of troubles. After graduating from college, he set many goals for himself with great enthusiasm, but after several years, he still achieved nothing. When he found the wise man, he was reading in a hut by the river. The wise man smiled and listened to the young man's confession, and said to him: "Come on, boil the water for me first!"

The young man saw a huge kettle standing in the corner, and next to it was a small stove. , but no firewood was found, so he went out to look for it. He picked up some dead branches outside and came back, filled a pot of water, put it on the stove, put some firewood in the stove and started burning it. But because the pot was too big, the bundle of firewood burned out and the water did not boil. So he ran out and continued to look for firewood. When he found enough firewood and came back, the pot of water was almost cold. This time he learned the lesson and didn't rush to light a fire. Instead, he went out to find some firewood. Since the firewood was well prepared, the water boiled in no time.

The wise man suddenly asked him: "If there is not enough firewood, how should you boil the water?"

The young man thought for a while and shook his head. The wise man said: "If that's the case, pour out some of the water in the pot!"

The young man nodded thoughtfully. The wise man went on to say: "You were complacent at first and set too many goals, just like this big kettle filled with too much water, and you didn't have enough firewood, so you couldn't boil the water. If you want to boil the water Come on, you can either pour out some water or prepare firewood first!"

The young man suddenly understood. After returning, he crossed out many of the goals listed in the plan, leaving only the most recent ones. At the same time, he used his spare time to learn various professional knowledge. A few years later, his goals were basically achieved.

Only by cutting out the complex and simplifying, and starting from the nearest goal, will you move towards success step by step. If you worry about everything, you will only give up halfway. In addition, only by constantly picking up those "firewood" can life gradually heat up and eventually make life boil!

10. 2005 Social Blue Book

★Children’s education expenses account for the first place in residents’ consumption.

★China’s education is the most expensive, the least efficient, the most harmful, and the most misleading. As an educator, I feel powerless, ashamed and sad!

★If education expenses, medical expenses, and housing expenses are excluded, China's Engel coefficient is likely to have regressed in recent years. The quality has been increasing year by year, but the quality has been decreasing year by year. Parents have done what teachers should do:

Correct homework and tutor their children. With more than 60 people in a class, how can the teacher's teaching quality not be diluted? The teachers are also very hard-working. High price and poor quality are the current situation of education.

★In recent years, the country’s education industry policy has forced residents to shift their consumption to their children’s education fees. If a child wants to be able to walk out of school decently, he will not be prepared to pay more than 100,000, or even more. In the last Beihang admissions incident, even if the parents were sold, there was nothing they could do! No matter how hard and tiring the parents are, they will not waste their children's studies; no matter how poor the country is, never make decisions based on the children!

★With the industrialization of education, education must also be commercialized. This can only make the "elites" in the education field who have such resources become extremely rich, and can cultivate a generation of outstanding students who care about money.

★This is the educational value that society and education departments use to drive up the educational value of today’s parents, who hope that their children will succeed and their daughters will succeed. If the brakes are not applied, education will go astray.

A father and son were walking on the road leading a donkey. The donkey was carrying some grain. The father drove the donkey and the son walked beside it. They were very happy.

At this time, a woman on the side of the road said: "Look how stupid that father is, why doesn't he let his child ride on the donkey's back?" So the father carried the child on the donkey's back.

They continued walking, and the father heard an old man say: "That father loves his children so much that he lets them ride on the back of a donkey and walk by themselves. Can the children be filial when they grow up?" So the father Let the children come down to walk and ride the donkey themselves.

An aunt saw the father and son and said angrily: "That father is too shameful. He let his child walk on the road and rode on the back of a donkey." So the father hugged the child too. Go up.

A young man led a cow past them. He said to his cow: "Look at how cruel those two people are. They are both riding on such a thin donkey." "The father really didn't know what to do, so he asked the child to carry the grain on his back and he picked up the donkey.

12. Advantage Trap

Three travelers stayed in a hotel at the same time. When going out in the morning, one traveler brought an umbrella, another brought a walking stick, and the third brought nothing. When I came back at night, the person holding the umbrella was covered in water, and the person holding the cane was bruised and bruised from the fall, but the third traveler was safe and sound. The first two travelers were puzzled: How could he be okay? The third traveler first asked the traveler holding the umbrella: "Why did you get wet without falling?" The traveler holding the umbrella said: "When the heavy rain came, I bravely walked in the rain because I had an umbrella. I walked in the rain, but I didn’t know why I got wet; when I walked on the muddy and bumpy road, because I didn’t have crutches, I walked very carefully without getting hurt.” The third traveler asked the traveler with the crutches. "Why did you get injured instead of getting wet?" The man with the cane said: "When the heavy rain came, I walked to a place where I could hide from the rain because I didn't bring an umbrella, so I didn't get wet. When I walked I used crutches to walk on the muddy and bumpy road, but I didn't know why I often fell and got injured." The third traveler smiled and said, "That's why I was safe when the heavy rain came. Avoid walking, and walk carefully when the road is bumpy, so I neither got wet nor got hurt. Your mistake is that you rely on your own advantages. With advantages, you have fewer worries."
