That’s your oil field

The oil tycoon who was once the richest man in the United States Paul Getty's family was not wealthy when he was young. He only had a dry field with a poor harvest.

Later, when he was digging a well in the field, some thick black oil came out of the well. It turned into an oil well, and the dry field turned into an oil field. Paul Getty saw the way to get rich. He began to hire workers to exploit oil.

Paul Getty ran his business very carefully and was happy with everything. He went to inspect various oil fields, but every time he found that there was a waste of raw materials and idlers. He called in the foreman and asked them to eliminate waste and eliminate idlers. However, the next time he went there, everything was still the same. As before. Paul couldn't understand why I could see the waste and idleness as soon as I went there, but the foremen were here every day and turned a blind eye. Later, a management expert reminded Paul: "Then It's your oil field.

" Paul immediately summoned the foremen and announced to them: "From today on, you will be responsible for operating the oil field, and 25% of the benefits will be at your sole discretion.

"From then on, when Paul inspected the oil fields again, he found that not only had waste disappeared, idlers had disappeared, but production had increased significantly.

Asked Napoleon: "Your Majesty, I was scared to death, why did you still shoot me?" Napoleon smiled: "Idiot, if I don't scare you, you will really drown. Who of these people can do it?" How about saving you? After being frightened like this, didn’t you turn around and save yourself?”

The Hippocratic Oath

Yan Chengzhang

In the fight against SARS, the media once mentioned the "Hippocratic Oath" when reporting on the deeds of outstanding medical workers. Who was Hippocrates and what did his "oath" say?

Hippocrates was an ancient Greek doctor who lived from about 460 BC to 377 BC. According to historical records, not all of the "Hippocrates Oath" was written by Hippocrates. He is recognized by the West as the "Father of Western Medicine" and his "oath" has always been the code of medical ethics.

The "Oath" recorded in the "Dictionary of Western Culture" is as follows: "...I am willing to use the remaining ability and judgment to abide by the creed of seeking benefits for patients, and to discipline all depraved and harmful behaviors. , I shall not give dangerous drugs to others, nor shall I give any guidance in this regard, and I shall not perform abortions on women even if they are requested. I am willing to carry out my duties in a pure and sacred spirit throughout my life. I will not perform surgery on those suffering from stones. This will be done by experts. No matter where I meet men or women, nobles or slaves, my only purpose is to seek happiness for the patients, and to take care of myself and not to do anything. Harmful and bad behavior, especially seduction. Whatever I see or hear, whether it is related to business or not, I think should be kept secret. If I strictly abide by the above oath, I will ask God to let me live. It is an honor to be able to practice medicine. If I break my oath, the gods and ghosts will do it."

Mofen.

Quicksand

In the 19th century, there was Emperor Wilhelm I in Germany. He built a large and luxuriously decorated palace on the outskirts of Potsdam. By chance, he discovered that a mill not far from the palace was very unsightly, blocking the scenery in front of him. William I asked the Minister of the Interior to find out who owned the mill, and then gave the miller some money to demolish it. The Minister of the Interior went to the miller and told him who he was and what he wanted. But the miller said: "That is the property passed down from our ancestors, and I want to pass it on from generation to generation."

William I became angry and sent his own palace guards to demolish the house by force. When the house was demolished, the miller said to the guards: "Of course the emperor is powerful, but there are still courts in Germany. I will take this unfair matter to the court to resolve it." Soon, the court made a judgment and the emperor lost the case. , and must be "restored to the status quo ante". As a result, William I had to send people to rebuild the demolished mill.

Decades later, William I died, and the miller also died. Due to financial constraints, the miller's son was preparing to sell the mill to William II who came to the throne. He believed that the royal family must have considered this a thing that had the best of both worlds. But William II gave 6,000 marks to the miller's son and wrote a letter in his own handwriting, telling him that this mill is a memorial to the judicial independence and fair judgment of the German country, and is also the glory of your family. He requested that this mill be preserved from generation to generation. Pass it on.

The old mill in Potsdam is still there, and there are many tourists every year. Especially some college students who graduated from the law major, they regard observing the mill as a necessary procedure for their career.

A letter from Einstein to mankind five thousand years later

Wen Shan

In 1938, US President Roosevelt personally called Einstein and asked him to write a letter to convey "the thoughts and feelings of our time to people 5,000 years from now." Einstein wrote. The letter was placed in a strong container and buried deep under the New York World's Fair. A stone tablet was erected on it, indicating that future generations would not be able to take it out until 6939. The letter reads:

Our era has produced many geniuses whose inventions can make our lives much more comfortable. We have already used mechanical power to cross the ocean, and using mechanical power can finally liberate humans from all kinds of hard physical labor. We have learned to fly, and we use electromagnetic waves to easily communicate information from one corner of the earth to another.

However, the production and distribution of goods is completely unorganized. Everyone lives in the shadow of fear of losing their job and suffering miserable poverty. Moreover, people living in different countries often kill each other. For these reasons, all people have to think about the future with fear and extreme pain.

I believe that future generations will read this letter with a sense of pride and a legitimate sense of superiority.

The road is straight and the heart is straight

The people

In a temple There was a young monk. Every morning, he had to carry water and sweep. After doing morning service, he would go to a market far behind the temple to buy daily necessities for the temple. I also read the Bible late at night.

One day, he discovered that although other young monks were occasionally assigned to go down the mountain for shopping, they went to the towns in front of the mountain, and the roads were flat and the distances were short. So, the young monk asked the abbot: "Why are others more comfortable than me? No one forces them to work and read scriptures, but I have to work non-stop?" The abbot just smiled and said nothing.

At noon the next day, when the young monk came from the back mountain carrying a bag of millet, the abbot took him to the front door of the temple. The sun was turning west, and several young monks appeared on the mountain road ahead. The abbot asked the young monks: "I asked you to buy salt early in the morning. The road is so close and flat, why do you come back so late? ?"

A few young monks said: "Abbott, let's talk and laugh and look at the scenery. It's been like this every day for ten years!"

The abbot asked the young monk standing beside him: "The town behind the temple is so far away, and you carried such a heavy load, why did you come back earlier?"

The young monk said : "Every day on the road, I want to go early and come back early. Because the things on my shoulders are heavy, I walk more carefully, so I walk more steadily and faster. Over the past ten years, I have developed a habit, and I only have There is no road to the goal!" The abbot laughed when he heard this and said, "When the road is smooth, the heart is no longer focused on the goal. Only walking on a bumpy road can temper one's will!"

This little monk at that time became the famous Master Xuanzang. On his way to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures, despite the many difficulties and dangers, his heart was always shining with the light of perseverance.

The Master's Style

Wu Xiping in "China Youth Daily" on July 6, 2003 The author said that Gu Yanwu, an enlightenment thinker in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, likened reading and writing to "casting money." He said: I once said that people today write books and establish theories just like the ancients cast copper and made coins. The ancients mined copper from mines, but today people rely on buying old copper coins as raw materials. The former cast a small amount of money, but the quality is excellent, while the latter not only The quality of the newly minted copper coins was poor, and the skills passed down by the ancients were ruined. For more than a year, despite reading and studying from morning to night, I have only considered a few issues. Although the number is small, it can be regarded as mining copper directly from the mine!

Article It is regrettable that this analogy made by a scholar more than three hundred years ago hits the mark with today's reality. Impetuousness is prevalent in the academic world nowadays: emphasis on quantity over quality, shoddy work, and masterpieces of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of words, one or even several books a year. Writing books has become easier than writing papers; pieced together His works abound.

Compared with these scholars of the younger generation who have "produced numerous works", the scholars of the older generation pale in comparison. Wittgenstein, the master of philosophy, only published one book in his life - "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus", which was less than 80 pages long. He will not write any more books in the future. It was not until after his death that others compiled his notes and lecture notes into a book. It was this "little book" that made the master famous throughout his life. The master's sincerity that combines humility, romance and courage is really admirable. I think this comes from his profound accumulation and in-depth thinking, from his good academic ethics and moral sentiments, from his elegant temperament and appropriate self-awareness. The master's style should also be a yardstick in the academic world, not only guiding the direction of knowledge, but also marking the height of self-cultivation and morality.

Wisdom on the edge of the cliff

Xie Longyan

In the era of Tsarist Russia, a man who could not swim lost his footing and fell into the river. No matter how much he shouted "help", the police on duty on the shore were indifferent. The man who fell into the water was dying, and in a panic, he suddenly shouted: "Down with the Tsar!"

This was not bad. In Russia at that time, insulting the Tsar was punishable by jail time.

Two policemen immediately jumped into the water, lifted the drowning man to the shore, and took him to the police station. Drowning people were also saved.

When a person is forced into despair for some reason, wisdom will suddenly bloom. This phenomenon is known as "wisdom on the edge of the cliff."

The famous British painter Sawhill was once invited by the Queen of England to paint a large mural in the palace. To paint this monumental painting, the artist erected a three-story-high scaffolding. The Queen came with a group of ministers to watch. At that time, Thorhill was standing on the scaffolding and looking at his work with concentration. While watching, he stepped back, until he reached the edge of the scaffolding. The queen and ministers standing under the scaffolding were all stunned, but no one dared to speak out: everyone knows that if anyone screams, Thorhill will definitely You will be frightened and may fall to the ground and die.

At this time, the assistant standing next to Saucier suddenly came to his senses. He strode to the mural, picked up a paintbrush and started scribbling on the mural. Seeing this, Saucier was furious and rushed forward to snatch the brush from his assistant: "Are you crazy?" His assistant saved his life with forced inspiration.

Life is a process of extracting the essence

Carly Fiorina is HP female CEO, she studied at Stanford University. Twenty-five years after graduation, she returned to her alma mater to give a speech. She said: The most unforgettable course I took at Stanford was a seminar on "the political philosophy of the three major sects of Christianity, Islam, and Catholicism in the Middle Ages."

Every week we had to read a work on medieval philosophy, such as Aquinas, Bacon, Abelard - all long works - one of us I read an average of 1,000 pages a week. And every weekend, we have to refine the thoughts and speeches of these philosophers and summarize them into the essence of only 2 pages.

The process at that time was roughly like this: first reduce them to 20 pages, then 10 pages, and finally to 2 pages, and it was a single-sided manuscript paper. Is this more than a summary? This is simply to restore everything to its original form, to the most fundamental essence of things!

The following week, we began to look at the work of another philosopher.

The philosophies and ideologies of these thinkers undoubtedly left a deep impression on me, but the almost harsh "distillation" process of extracting the essence and pursuing perfection is what I really learned. thing. This is an uncanny, almost stubborn skill. And I have benefited from it over and over again. This is a comprehensive exercise to extract the essence of things and restore the essence of things, and that course also allowed me to understand the meaning of life. Life is a process of extracting the essence.

Mr. Sloan's hobbies

Lin Xi

Mr. Sloan once He served as the president of General Motors and was the first truly professional manager in American history. Before that, in large American companies, the "boss" had always managed the company by himself.

When he was young, Mr. Sloan loved to make friends and play, and he was a well-connected person with many friends. However, after he became the president of GM, he isolated himself and did not get close to the supervisors at the same level. They all treated each other with courtesy and kept the same distance.

“No one likes to be lonely. I also like to make friends and have company by my side. However, the company gives me a high salary, not to make friends. My job is to evaluate the performance of people in the company. In order to make correct personnel decisions, if I have a relationship with the person I work with, there will naturally be likes and dislikes, which will affect my decision-making. Therefore, I am not allowed to establish personal relationships in the workplace. ”

Not only that, Mr. Sloan never talks about his hobbies and family in public. In his introduction to the book, he insisted that the editor not include a two-page introduction to his family, childhood, and early career.

Sloan believes that "professionals" should not disclose their interests, beliefs and private lives. This is his private matter and has nothing to do with "professionalism".

Because of this, GM under Sloan’s leadership has all kinds of people. In particular, the 35 senior managers under him have different styles and characteristics, which is where GM's vitality lies.

Writing this, I not only remembered a sentence I read in the newspaper recently: "No matter how strict the system and regulations are, I am not afraid. What I am most afraid of is that leading cadres have no hobbies." This sentence comes from the amount of money involved in the case. The biggest suspect in the Xiamen Yuanhua case, Lai Changxing.

Good and evil come from the heart

Quicksand

Su Dongpo believed in Buddhism. Once, he was debating scriptures with the abbot. The two sat on a futon and discussed each other for a long time.

The abbot said: "What am I in the eyes of the other party?"

Su Dongpo said: "Abbott, you are a pile of cow shit in my eyes." The abbot smiled slightly and said : "Donor, you are a flower in my eyes."

Su Dongpo returned satisfied and discussed the matter with his younger sister. The little girl said: "There is a saying in Buddhism that if the mind is in hell, it will lead to evil thoughts. If you have cow shit in your heart, you will treat others as cow shit."

After hearing this, Su Dongpo looked ashamed.

Any good or evil thought actually already exists in the heart before it turns into actions and facts. People who are full of evil thoughts in their hearts will have different eyes when they look at others, while those who are full of friendship and tolerance in their hearts will People will bring joy to others and themselves.

Buddhism has the theory of hell and heaven. People who want to do evil are filled with anger. People who have done evil will have nightmares every day because they are afraid that others will discover their evil deeds. Although they are in the world, their hearts are already in hell. And those who do good deeds are upright, do good to others, and have no fame or gain. Although they are in this world, their hearts are already in heaven.

In fact, good and evil are sometimes just a thin line of difference. Looking at Mr. Feng Zikai’s memoirs, there is an anecdote about his mentor Li Shutong. During the music class, one student was reading a book while another student was spitting. Mr. Li is an extremely serious person. He saw it on the spot but said nothing. After class, Mr. Li asked the two students to stay and told them in a very gentle voice that they should not read idle books or vomit in class next time. phlegm. The two students felt that the teacher was making a fuss out of a molehill, and when they were about to defend themselves, they saw this respected gentleman bowing to them, and their faces suddenly turned red.

In front of kindness, there is only the nourishment of spring breeze and rain. There is no distinction between high and low. When a person only has kind thoughts in his heart, all the glitz and glamor of the world has long since receded, and only everyone is equal and should be respected. soul.
