A short story of achievement mentality

A scholar went to Beijing for the third time to catch the exam and lived in a shop where he often lived. Two days before the exam, he had three dreams. The first dream is that he grows cabbage on the wall. The second dream is that it is raining. He is wearing a hat and an umbrella. The third dream is that he is lying naked with his beloved cousin, but his back is to his back.

These three dreams seem to have some profound meanings, so the scholar hurried to find fortune-telling dreams the next day. Hearing this, the fortune teller patted his thigh continuously and said, "You'd better go home. Think about it, isn't it futile to grow vegetables on high walls? Isn't it unnecessary to wear a hat and an umbrella? Lying naked in a bed with my cousin, isn't it impossible to back to back? "

Hearing this, the scholar was disheartened and went back to the store to pack his bags and prepare to go home. The shopkeeper was surprised and asked, "Isn't there an exam tomorrow? How did you go back to your hometown today? "

When the scholar said this, the shopkeeper was happy: "Hey, I can interpret dreams, too. I think you must stay this time. Think about it, isn't it high to grow vegetables on the wall? Doesn't wearing a hat and an umbrella mean that you are prepared this time? Lying naked in bed with your cousin doesn't mean you should turn over? "

Hearing this, the scholar made more sense, so he took the exam happily and got a flower exploration.

Positive people, like the sun, shine wherever they shine, while negative people, like the moon, are different on the fifteenth day of the first month. Ideas determine our lives. What kind of ideas, what kind of future.

The pursuit of masons

It is said that there are three masons doing the same job, all carving stone statues. Ask them the same question: What are you doing here?

The first stonemason said, "Did you see it? I'm chiseling a stone, and I can go home after this. " This kind of person always regards work as punishment, and the most common sentence in his mouth is "tired".

The second stonemason said, "Did you see it? I'm making a statue. This is a hard job, but it pays well. After all, I have a wife and four children who need food and clothing. " This kind of person always regards work as a burden, and one sentence that often comes out of his mouth is "bringing home the bacon".

The third stonemason will put down his hammer and proudly point to the stone carving and say, "Look, I am making a work of art". This kind of person is always proud of his work and enjoys it. The most common sentence in his mouth is "this work is very meaningful."

It can be said that the third stonemason is happy. He endowed this work with certain positive significance.

A man passed by a construction site and asked the masons there what they were doing. Three masons have three different answers.

The first stonemason replied, "I'm making a living."

The second stonemason replied, "As a stonemason, I did a good job."

The third stonemason replied, "I am building the greatest church in the world."

Although these three masons are doing the same job, they have completely different attitudes towards it. In one person's view, the same job is just to survive and support the family, while in another person's view, it is his lifelong pursuit.
