There is a conceited and smart student taking the exam. As soon as the test paper was handed out, he browsed it briefly. Except for the words "Please read all the questions before starting to answer" on the top line of the test paper, there were 100 true and false questions. With his ability, he could finish the exam in about 30 minutes. He confidently picked up his pen and started answering the questions.
After two minutes, someone handed in the paper with a smile on his face. The smart student secretly laughed in his heart: "It's the guy who handed in a blank paper again."
After another 5 minutes, there were seven or eight more people. When he handed in the paper, he also had a smile on his face, and it didn't look like he was handing in a blank paper. Seeing that he had only answered about 20 questions, this smart student quickly speeded up and concentrated on answering.
When he answered the 76th question, he suddenly found that the question said, "There is no need to answer this test paper. As long as you sign your name and submit the paper, you will get full marks. One more point will be deducted for each additional question."

He raised his hand with suspicion and wanted to ask the invigilator a question, but saw several candidates looking around in confusion at the same time.
The smart student looked at the instructions on the first line of the test paper: "Please read all the questions before starting to answer." He couldn't help but hate the speed with which he answered the questions.
In the course of our lives, it is not difficult to see similar situations. We think too highly of ourselves and do not listen to opinions. This is a common mistake that most people make. Especially on the road to learning and growth, a zeroing mentality is the first thing we must have. Only by pouring out the moss-covered cup of stagnant water in your heart can you receive the fresh fresh spring that has been injected into you during the learning process.
And empty the cup more than once, because every time you learn something new, you will quickly fill the cup in your heart. Therefore, you must have your own smart water reservoir, and never forget to pour the water in the cup into the reservoir, so that the cup will remain hollow forever and can take on new things at any time.
Insights:
It is recommended that when you face any encounter in life, you should recall the requirements of question 76, follow the instructions of answering the questions in life, and get to ground zero to fully understand the entire situation. , don’t be too smart. Maintain a zero-centered mentality when it comes to career development. This should be true in terms of interpersonal communication, getting along with husband and wife, and the education of children. Philosophical inspirational story: Vision determines the future
At the beginning of the 19th century, in a valley in central Italy, a group of ancient villagers lived. Their drinking water had to be fetched from a small river far away. So the village chief gave the task of carrying water to two young men and promised to pay them a certain amount of money for each load of water carried.
The two young men readily agreed, and then each prepared a large bucket. They worked from sunrise to sunset every day. Although it was very hard, fortunately they had a good income and they could do it. Very enthusiastic. One of the young people thought that when he saves enough money, he can build a house, marry a wife and have children. What a happy life it would be!
Another young man thought that he would climb mountains and ridges every day, Walking with a heavy load is not a long-term thing at all. Moreover, carrying water takes up most of my time, and there is no freedom or fun at all. If the river water outside the mountain can be led into the valley, wouldn't it be unnecessary to carry water? ?Of course, it is not an easy task to lead the river water into the valley, it requires a lot of engineering, but the young people firmly believe that everything depends on man-made efforts, and as long as everyone unites, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished!
< p> One summer evening, the young man finished his work. He told the village chief his idea and hoped that he would call on all the villagers to raise funds to build pipelines and completely solve everyone's drinking water problem. However, what he didn't expect was that his suggestion was opposed by most of the villagers, because the people here have lived by carrying water for generations. They had never thought of bringing water from outside, and they thought it was unrealistic. His companions also tried to persuade him, you should just fetch water honestly, and don't let your whims ruin your own livelihood.Although the young man’s proposal was not adopted by everyone, he did not give up. He used his spare time and teamed up with several people who supported him to quietly build the pipeline. A few years later, the young man who carried water with him made a small fortune. Not only did he build a new house, marry a wife, but also bought a lot of furniture and food; but he was still alone, living in a simple little house. In the house, he invested all his money in building pipelines.
After a few years, the pipeline he built finally connected the entire village, and the white water flowed continuously. Everyone was overjoyed and paid for it one after another. Before long, his companion was out of work because the water from the pipes was far cheaper than the cost of carrying it. In this way, the young man who built the pipeline did not have to work every day and had a considerable income, but his companion had to go elsewhere to continue carrying water to earn money.
Insights:
It turns out that a person’s vision determines his future. Those with a broad vision will have great achievements, and those with a narrow vision will have small deeds.
In real life, some people lack ideals and dare not take risks easily. As a result, they can only survive on their own "one-third of an acre"; while some people are too ambitious and unrealistic. They want to achieve success overnight, but end up everywhere. Hitting a wall, the future is bleak. In fact, we should be like the young people who repair pipelines. First of all, we should set a clear goal and work unremittingly towards this goal; secondly, we should prepare funds for our dreams. People have to live and work while they are alive. Ideals lead to hunger, so you have to learn to take detours and earn experience while working. When you reach a certain level, things will naturally fall into place. Inspiring short stories and great principles: Put your intelligence behind the "bags"
The famous psychology master Freud once told a very classic inspirational story.
John and Tom are children from two neighboring families. They have played together since they were young. John is a smart kid who knows everything he learns. He knows his own advantages and is naturally quite proud of them. Tom's brain did not have John's aura. Although he worked very hard, his results were difficult to enter the top ten. Compared with John, he often showed an inferiority complex in his heart. However, his mother always encouraged him: "If you always measure yourself by the achievements of others, you will only be a 'chaser' throughout your life. Although the galloping horse always roars ahead at the beginning, The one who finally reaches the destination is often the camel full of patience and perseverance. ”
Smart John claims to be a smart man, but his performance in his life is mediocre and he failed to achieve anything big. But Tom, who felt stupid, enriched himself in all aspects, surpassed himself little by little, and finally achieved extraordinary achievements. John was so indignant that he died in depression. After his soul flew to heaven, he questioned God: "I am far more intelligent than Tom. I should be greater than him, but why did you let him become the outstanding person in the world?"
God smiled and said: "Poor John, you still haven't figured it out until your death: I send everyone to the world and put the same things in the 'bundle' of his life, but I put you Putting your intelligence in front of the 'bag', you feel complacent because you see or touch your own intelligence, which may even cost you your life! But Tom's intelligence is placed behind the 'bag', because he can't see himself The smart person always looks up and looks ahead, so he unconsciously steps up and forward throughout his life!"
Everyone should always remember this truth, and only by constantly surpassing themselves A person is a truly smart person.
The big truth:
In life, everyone has his own unique temperament and talent. Everyone has his own unique entry point to realize the value of life. You only need to follow your own Develop your own talents and constantly transcend the obstacles of the soul. You will not ignore the sun in your own life and be lost in the glory of others.
Inspirational stories and great truths: Leave room for your nose and eyes
British contemporary sculptor Anish Kapoor became famous with his sculpture "Descent into Hell". One day, a reporter from the famous British newspaper "The Sunday Times" interviewed Anish Kapoor. The reporter was also an amateur sculpture enthusiast. He wanted to ask Anish Kapoor the secret of being a good sculptor. The reporter asked: "Mr. Anish Kapoor, can you tell us the secret of your success?"
Only Anish Kapoor said: "Actually, there is no secret at all. , my personal experience is that to be a good sculptor, you only need to do two things: first, make the nose bigger; second, make the eyes smaller. ”
The reporter asked in confusion: "Why do you do this? If the nose is big and the eyes are small, wouldn't the carved portrait be too ugly?"
Anish Kapoor commented on this Explanation: "If the nose is big and the eyes are small, there is room for modification. Think about it, if the nose is big, it can be modified inward; if the eyes are small, it can be expanded outward. On the contrary, if the nose is small from the beginning If the eyes are made small, they can no longer be enlarged; if the eyes are enlarged in the first place, there is no way to make them smaller."
Thinking about it carefully, Anish Kapoor has some room for improvement. Wisdom is also a good revelation for us in how we behave and do things: when we behave in the world, we must leave some room for maneuver for ourselves and others. We must not say everything we say and do things we must not do. Only in this way can we move freely and others will be better. comfortable. Only in this way can you be invincible in the workplace.
In life, why do we have to go to the extreme? Why do we have to be aggressive? Shouldn’t we leave some room for our own souls? Inspiring stories: ten years
< p> "What were you doing ten years ago?" I accidentally saw this post on the Internet, and I was immediately attracted.More than ten years ago, a performing arts company in Taiwan recruited two young assistants, one male and one female. Although he is said to be an assistant, he actually does odd jobs. In addition to answering the phone, carrying luggage for big shots, and buying snacks for the boss, he also has an important daily task, which is to clean the toilet. The company is not big and there is only one toilet. The two of them can easily divide the work. The female washes at 1,35 and the man washes at 2,46.
There is an attendance book hanging on the back of the toilet door. When it is someone's turn to be on duty, they sign their names on it. The division of labor is clear and the responsibilities are assigned to each person. To this day, if you can get their signatures, you will definitely be happy for a long time - the woman is Rene Liu and the man is Takeshi Kaneshiro.
When Rene Liu talked about this "unbearable" past, the happiness on her face bloomed like flowers: "Although the income was not high at that time, we worked very hard and lived a fulfilling life every day, because We all believe in ourselves and the future, and we can’t always work as a handyman in this life.” If she had lost confidence in the future, she might not have the sweet memories she has today.
Half a month ago, I went to a company to find a relative. He happened to be out on business and asked me to wait for him in the office. It was past the off-duty time, and there was only one young man left in the office. He wore black-rimmed glasses, and there was still a bit of youthfulness on his thin face. Knowing my purpose of coming, he enthusiastically poured me some boiled water. His movements were full of vitality and he walked with a trot. At first glance, he could tell that he was a newly graduated college student. From him, I suddenly saw the shadow of myself ten years ago, and I immediately felt more cordial. Waiting for someone is the most boring thing. Just as he finished what he was doing, we started chatting.
He studied for four years as an undergraduate and just graduated six months ago. This is his first job, with a monthly salary of 1,100 yuan. As he spoke, I quickly did mental calculations. With the current consumption level, excluding transportation, food and accommodation expenses, there was almost no money left. It's really not easy for college students nowadays. I felt a little sad when I heard that, and couldn't help but say: "My relative works as a security guard in this company. He has not graduated from junior high school. He is about the same age as you and his income is about the same as you." I suddenly felt regretful. I really shouldn’t have said such words. I was worried that it would hurt his self-esteem, but unexpectedly he smiled: “Ten years later, the security guard may still be a security guard, but I will definitely not earn 1,100 yuan.” I suddenly realized.
The truth:
Since the goal is ahead, why care about where the starting point is? What you were doing ten years ago does not actually matter. What matters is that you What do you hope you will be doing in ten years... Philosophical inspirational story: Eliminate yourself every day
The famous American conductor Walter Damrosch became a band conductor in his 20s, but he still maintained Modest and diligent style, without getting carried away. Faced with everyone's praise, he himself revealed the answer to his success -
"When I first became a conductor, I was a little arrogant, thinking that my talent was unparalleled and that no one could challenge my status. One day of rehearsal , I forgot to bring my conductor’s baton, and I was about to send someone home to get it. The secretary said: No need, just borrow one from other members of the band. I thought: The secretary is really confused. Why should anyone else carry a conductor’s baton except me? ?But I still asked casually: "Who has a conductor baton?" Before I finished speaking, the cellist, violinist and pianist each took out a conductor baton.
" I was shocked. , I suddenly realized: It turns out that I am not an indispensable person. Many people have been working secretly to replace me at any time. From now on, whenever I am lazy or arrogant, those three batons will be shaking in front of me. "
Hundreds of millions of years ago, in a primeval forest, there was a powerful bear that fed on other animals. Later, fires caused by lightning burned the forest to ashes, and various animals fled in all directions. . In order to survive, the bear kept migrating and trekking, and finally found a warm, lush basin with abundant food, and settled down.
But the bear soon discovered that there were too many carnivores here. They were so powerful that they couldn't compete with them. So, the bears decided not to eat meat and eat grass instead. But there were more herbivores here and the competition was fierce. They had no choice but to eat other food. Gradually, bamboo became their only food source and they became lazy, bloated and slow. Slowly evolved into the giant pandas we see now. Later, with the decrease of bamboo forests, there were fewer and fewer giant pandas, and they were on the verge of extinction. They were only saved from extinction with the help of humans.
Big truth:
Competition is a disgusting thing, but it happens all the time. Stagnation and avoidance means being eliminated. If we are eliminated, we may also get something similar.
Only by "eliminating yourself every day" can you avoid being eliminated.
Philosophical inspirational story: Post your dreams on the wall
One day, I heard that there was a very unique restaurant near Hongik University, so I wanted to go and check it out. It was called ". "Tianbi" Izakaya (Japanese restaurant).
When you get there, you will find that it is indeed different. The moment you open the restaurant door, you can hear the chorus of six or seven reception staff Saying "Welcome!" Even the chefs in the kitchen enthusiastically joined the waiters in the dining room to greet the customers. I observed that they did this to every customer who came in and out. When the customer in front of him praised the chef's cooking skills, all the staff uniformly bowed 90 degrees to the customer who praised him.
When the waiter saw a group of us preparing to clink glasses, he came over and asked what toast he was going to use. He wrote down the content and walked away. Later, when it was time for us to clink glasses, all the staff shouted our toast together. I asked sheepishly if it was too much trouble to do this, and the answer was: "This is the style of our store."
The most surprising thing is that all employees work hard from morning to night Work hard and always smile to the guests. Out of curiosity, I asked one of the employees: "Looking at how hard you work, the salary here must be higher than elsewhere?" He replied: "Although the salary is not much higher, we work hard because we Have a dream."
Then he pointed to the wall of the restaurant. There are many exquisite cards posted on the elegant wall. He said that each card records the dream of an employee. His own dream is to become an excellent chef and open his own restaurant in the future.
Later I learned that the founder of this izakaya is Keisuke Oshima, a 35-year-old young man. This restaurant is already very famous in Japan. There are five stores in Jiyugaoka and Shibuya in Japan. This store near Hongdae is the number one store overseas. Keisuke Ojima wrote in his book "Tenhe no Asahi": "The only condition for becoming a Tianhe employee is that you must have the goal of becoming an entrepreneur." After becoming a Tianhe employee, you must paste your dreams on the wall, and Be sure to include a deadline for achieving this goal. Inspirational stories and insights: Success is a state
There is an eagle's nest on the cliff. An eagle gave birth to two eaglets, one with black claws and one with flower claws. The eagle is getting older and feels that its days are numbered. It thought that it was necessary to seize all the time to train the eaglets to fly so that they could live independently as soon as possible.
When the eaglet grew bigger, the eagle encouraged the eaglet to spread its wings and fly to the opposite cliff. The eagle said to the eaglet, whoever can fly to the opposite cliff will be a winner. Encouraged by it, the two eaglets began to take flight.
However, the eagle always fell into the valley not far after flying. The eagle caught them and practiced again. After a few days, the black-clawed eaglet stopped practicing. In its view, it was too young to fly to the opposite cliff. Every flight is in vain. Besides, I will grow up sooner or later, and I will naturally be able to fly when I grow up. So, it gave up flying.
The Flower-clawed Eagle has never given up on its test flights. It feels that as long as it keeps practicing, one day it will fly to the opposite cliff. Because he practiced every day, he was covered with bruises and bruises, and sometimes it was difficult to even walk. Unfortunately, it never succeeded and it fell repeatedly into the valley. Of course, each test flight goes farther and falls lighter than the last. The flower-clawed eagle realized that he was making constant progress.
On this day, the eagle called the two eaglets to him. It said: "I am old and can no longer take care of you. The flower-clawed eaglet is a winner. You have to learn from it, the black-clawed eaglet."
The black-clawed eaglet asked puzzledly : "Success is considered successful when it flies to the opposite cliff, but the flower-clawed eaglet did not fly there."
The eagle said meaningfully: "Success is a state, not a result. "After that, it died.
At this time, a strong wind came and rocks smashed into the eagle's nest. The situation was extremely critical. The flower-clawed eagle flapped its wings, flew up, and quickly moved to a safe place. The black-clawed eaglet could only sit and wait for death. After a while, the poor black-clawed eaglet's head was crushed by the rocks, and it fell into the valley with the eagle's nest.
Insights:
We are always accustomed to treating success as a result. In fact, success is essentially a state of continuous self-improvement. Only with this state can we become a real strong person in the workplace.
