Confucius heard a rumbling sound and was surprised. Zilu said: "It's thundering and raining on the other side of the mountain, why are we still rushing there? Zilu said, "This is not the sound of thunder and rain, but the sound of waves crashing on the shore." "Confucius had never seen the sea and wanted to go to the seaside to see the sea, so Confucius and his entourage took a car to the foot of Quyang Mountain on the seaside.

Confucius and his disciples climbed to the top of the mountain and saw that the water and the sky were connected. The sea was vast and they were all very excited. At this time, Confucius felt hot and thirsty. He asked Yan Yuan to go down the mountain to scoop out sea water to drink.

Yan Yuan took the container and was about to go down the mountain when he suddenly heard someone behind him. Everyone thought it was strange that he was laughing. When they looked back, they saw that it was a fisherman's child, so they asked him why he was laughing. The child said: "The sea water is salty and astringent, so you can't drink it." "

After saying that, he handed the bamboo tube filled with fresh water to Confucius. Confucius drank the water and quenched his thirst. He was very grateful to the child and was about to say thank you when suddenly the sea breeze blew a gust of rain. Zilu became anxious when he saw it, and shouted: "Oops, where can we hide from the rain now? The fisherman boy said to everyone: "Don't worry, please come with me!" "After that, the child led the children into a cave, which was where he usually hid fish.

Confucius stood at the entrance of the cave to hide from the rain, while he was philosophizing about the seascape in the rain. He couldn't help but feel inspired by poetry. Two lines of poetry were recited: "The wind blows thousands of waves in the sea, and the rain makes thousands of holes on the beach. Confucius's three disciples all praised Confucius for his well-written poems, but the child was opposed to it. He said to Confucius: "Have you ever counted thousands of waves and ten thousand pits?" " Confucius heartily agreed with the child's rebuttal.

After the rain stopped, the child went fishing on the sea again. Confucius recalled the things that had just happened, and he apologized and blamed himself. Three disciples: "I have said before that only superior wisdom and inferior foolishness cannot change. It seems that this is not appropriate. We should still advocate 'learning to know' and 'knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing'." ”

5. The story of making mistakes because of inattention

Cat Fishing I think everyone has heard the story. The reason why it failed to catch fish was because the kitten was not attentive enough.

Many students cannot achieve good results for this reason. Only by focusing on things and working wholeheartedly can we achieve good results. As the saying goes: You can't do two things at once.

Everyone’s energy is limited at the same time. The more things you do at the same time, the quality of everything you do will inevitably decrease. Celebrities at home and abroad all understand this truth.

The poet Jia Dao of the Tang Dynasty "refined" his poems and bumped into Yin Hanyu's sedan chair in Beijing; the great German poet Goethe wrote Faust and devoted himself to it for 60 years; Hua Luogeng concentrated on thinking about mathematical problems. His little daughter yelled and cried without paying attention. These celebrity stories that we are familiar with all reveal one truth: Only by focusing on things can you achieve good results and succeed.

Concentrate on what you do and throw away other distracting thoughts, and you will find that you will be integrated into what you are doing unconsciously, and nothing around you will be able to disturb you. Just imagine, how could the study and work efficiency not be high at this time? If you concentrate for a long time, how can you fail to achieve excellent results and succeed? Under the irradiation of sunlight, the concave lens can only ignite the paper by focusing it on a point on the paper.

Each of us is like a concave lens, bathed in the sun at the same time. The reason why some people succeed and others fail depends on whether our focus is focused on one point. A young man said to the entomologist Fabre distressedly: "I have spent all my energy tirelessly on the career I love, but the results have been very little."

Fabre asked this question What kind of work does the young man do? This young man said: "I love science, but I also love literature. I am interested in music and art." There is no doubt that this young man's tireless work will definitely increase the possibility of his success, but He unintentionally only increased the thickness of his concave lens, but did not focus it on one point, and this ultimately led to his failure.

According to legend, Yang Jing, a national chess player in the Han Dynasty, once played chess with a divine monkey. At first the situation was not favorable for him.

Later, he ate a lot of fresh peaches in front of the monkey, which made the monkey drool, and he was not interested in playing chess, and finally defeated the monkey three times. The failure of both the young man and the monkey was due to lack of concentration.

In the same way, each of us needs to focus our energy on one thing, otherwise, we will end up like them. There is no difference in the way of the sage.

One is not consistent, the other two are not the way. Each of us should learn to concentrate on doing things. Only by concentrating on doing things can we achieve good results and succeed.

6. Asking for stories about celebrities who made mistakes when they were young. I want the kind of celebrities who made mistakes, but with the forgiveness of their parents

Don’t neglect good deeds because they are too small, and don’t neglect evil because they are too small. This sentence is what Liu Bei told his son Liu Chan when he was dying during the Three Kingdoms period. It was intended to educate Liu Chan not to despise small things, not to not do good things because they have little impact, and not to do bad things just because they have little impact. This sentence is still of guiding significance to our self-cultivation. Don’t neglect doing good deeds because they are small. A mistake often starts from a small thing that has no starting point. As the saying goes, “Steal a needle when you are young, steal gold when you are big” and “Thousands of miles away” This is what the saying goes. Although bad things are small, they can corrode a person's soul. Over time, they will lead to qualitative changes from quantitative changes, and finally they will jump into the pit of crime and become a shameful sinner. Some students usually do not pay attention to their moral cultivation, and over time develop bad habits: being late, absent from class, hanging out in Internet cafes, whistling, beating and scolding each other, sarcasm, and even making friends with some social gangsters to blackmail their classmates for money; some even Go and commit petty theft; others gather a group of people to fight because of some conflicts with their classmates. Students should not think that this is a trivial matter. If we hear about it, we will not realize the seriousness of the problem and we may try to correct it. , if you still go your own way, the consequences will be unimaginable, and you will develop into illegal behaviors and eventually be punished by the law. Some students' current behaviors have reached the point of being illegal, such as carrying out knives to commit robberies, stealing air-conditioning copper pipes in family areas, etc. It's just because you are still young and have not been investigated criminally. Once you continue, you will be severely punished and your future will be ruined. It will be too late to regret it by then. Don't let it be a small kindness and neglect it. A drop of water can reflect the brilliance of the sun. , a good thing can reveal a person's noble and pure soul. Small things are the basis of big things, and big things are the accumulation of small things. If you despise ordinary good things, you will not do great things. If you despise a drop of water, you will not do great things. There will be vast oceans. If you despise a tree, there will be no dense forests. If you despise bricks and tiles, you will not be able to build high-rise buildings. For thousands of years, the ancients have many famous sayings emphasizing the importance of "doing small things" Aphorism: Gather armpits to form fur, gather sand to form a tower, build up soil to form a mountain, accept rivers to form a sea, accumulate good deeds to form a virtue. We must start from small things, start from bits and pieces. It is not difficult for a person to do a good deed, but it is difficult to do good deeds all his life. If a person insists on doing good things and not doing bad things, then he will definitely get the respect of the society and the praise of the people. Turning off the lights, saying a kind word, giving up his seat, and smiling are all contributions to the interests of the public. Xiao Small acts of kindness, a little effort, do not require us to pay a lot, but they can exchange for understanding, harmony, and friendship. Do something for the society, do something for others, do something for yourself, and a beautiful life lies in everyone's every moment. Creation extends through perseverance. Students: Please pay attention to your actions, because actions can become habits. Please pay attention to your habits, because habits can become character. Please pay attention to your character, because character can determine your destiny. Small and big are relative, but good and evil are absolute. No matter how small the good is, it is good, and no matter how small the evil is, it is evil. Good is a cycle, and evil is also a cycle. Let us always remember "Don't Do not do good deeds if they are small, and do not do evil if it is small."

7. Allusions in history about mistakes due to carelessness

Guan Yu lost Jingzhou due to carelessness

Losing Jingzhou due to carelessness, that is, during the Three Kingdoms period, the famous general Guan Yu lost three counties in Jingzhou ( Nanjun, Wuling, Lingling) allusions. The summary of the story is: After the Battle of Chibi, the seven counties of Jingzhou were divided among the three families of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan. Liu Bei entered Shu (Sichuan), leaving Guan Yu to guard and occupy the five counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling). , among which Nanjun was borrowed by Liu Bei from Soochow. After Liu Bei obtained Shuchuan, he returned Changsha and Guiyang counties to Sun Quan (equivalent to returning Nan County). Later, Guan Yu sent troops to attack Cao Cao's Xiangfan area. Sun Quan sent Lu Meng to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the three counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Wuling, and Lingling) and fell, causing the three counties of Jingzhou to fall. Being careless and losing Jingzhou is now a metaphor for failure or loss due to carelessness. It means carelessness, pride and underestimation of the enemy.
