Thanksgiving story around me

One of the most desirable companies for Japanese university graduates recruits new employees every year. The final screening step is the president's personal interview. There is only one question in the interview topic: "Have you washed your mother's hands and feet?" How do you feel? "A young man's answer is" no ". The president told him to go back and wash his hands and feet for his mother and come back for an interview three days later.

After the young man came home, he washed his mother's hands and feet with hot water. The distance from his mother has never been so close, and he feels extremely warm inside. At the same time, he found that his mother's hands and feet were quite rough and covered with cocoons, and suddenly he had mixed feelings and repented to his mother. He never cares about his mother. Her mother works hard every day and pays for her family and children without asking for anything in return, so that her family has no worries. After washing her feet, he had a deep understanding of her love and selfless dedication.

Deeply influenced by China culture, the Japanese president read a lot of poems. His philosophy of employing people is that being a man is better than being a man, and being grateful is better than being a man. Grateful people are the best to use.

At that time, the house of former American President Roosevelt was stolen and many things were stolen. A friend wrote to comfort him after hearing the news and advised him not to care too much. Roosevelt wrote back to his friend: "Dear friend, thank you for your letter to comfort me. I am safe now. I want to thank God, because: first, the thief stole my things without hurting my life; Second, the thief only stole some of my things, not all of them; Third, the luckiest thing is that he is the thief, not me. "

Theft is certainly unfortunate for anyone, but Roosevelt did not feel sad but found three reasons to be grateful.

Thanksgiving Story 4: P45

In ancient times, there was a king who dreamed that the mountain fell, the water dried up and the flowers withered, so he asked the queen to interpret his dream. The Queen said, "The general trend is not good. When the mountain falls, it means that the mountain is going to fall; If the water is exhausted, the people will be centrifugal, the monarch will be the boat, and the people will be the water. If the water is exhausted, the boat will not work; Thank you for the flowers, which means that the good times will not last long. " The king broke out in a cold sweat and became ill from then on, getting heavier and heavier. A minister wanted to see the king, who was worried when he was dying. But when the minister heard this, he smiled and said, "Great, the mountain collapsed, and the world is at peace from now on;" When the water dried up, the real dragon appeared. King, you are the son of heaven. The flowers have withered, the flowers have withered! The king was relaxed and soon recovered.

A scholar went to Beijing for the third time to catch the exam and stayed 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? Isn't it impossible to lie naked in a bed with my cousin, but 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.

Thanksgiving story 6: P 168

A kind of sardine is produced in Hokkaido, Japan, and its taste is very rare. Many fishermen catch sardines for a living. However, the life of sardines is very fragile. As soon as they leave the deep sea, they will die within half a day. The fishermen tried their best to get rid of the sardines they caught, and as a result, the sardines were still "dead" after landing.

It is strange that an old fisherman catches sardines every day. After returning to the shore, his sardines are always alive and kicking. Because the price of fresh sardines is more than twice as high as that of dead sardines, in a few years, the old fisherman became a well-known rich man. Although the fishermen around run the same business, they can only barely maintain food and clothing.

On his deathbed, the old fisherman passed on the secret to his son. It turned out that the old fisherman's secret of keeping sardines from dying was to put a few miscellaneous fish called catfish in the sardines in the cabin. You know, sardines and catfish are not the same kind, but also famous rivals. Several weak catfish met many opponents and fled in panic among sardines, thus activating all the dead sardines in a cabin.

The simple trick of the old fisherman is not in people's habitual thinking. The presence of catfish accidentally activated sardines. In fact, this phenomenon exists in nature, isn't it true between people? !

It is because of our opponents that you have to surpass yourself under pressure. In prosperity, you have an opponent who follows you closely. How dare you stop and watch on the way forward? In order not to be caught up by your opponent, you have no choice but to go all the way. In adversity, having a strong opponent who is far ahead will give you a sense of crisis and may stimulate your potential spirit and fighting spirit in life, such as "sailing against the current, you can't just advance or retreat."
