The following are thirteen moral stories for your reference. The first three are slightly longer and the last ten are shorter.

1, broken arrow

If you don't believe in your will, you'll never be a general.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a father and son went to war. The father became a general and the son was just a pawn. Another horn sounded, the drums roared, and my father solemnly raised an quiver with an arrow in it. The father solemnly said to his son, "This is the treasure arrow at home. It is extremely powerful when you carry it with you, but you must never take it out. "

This is an extremely delicate quiver, made of thick cowhide, inlaid with faint shiny copper edges, and look at the arrow's exposed tail. You can tell at a glance that it is made of fine peacock feathers. The son is beaming and greedily speculates about the appearance of the shaft and arrow, as if the arrow whizzed past his ear and the enemy commander died in response.

Sure enough, Bao Jian's son is heroic and invincible. When the trumpet sounded, the son could no longer resist the heroic spirit of victory and completely abandoned his father's words. A strong desire drove him to shout and pull out his treasure arrow, trying to find out. Suddenly he was shocked.

A broken arrow, there is a broken arrow in the quiver.

I have been fighting with a broken arrow! My son broke out in a cold sweat, as if the house had lost its pillar in an instant and collapsed.

The result is self-evident, and my son died tragically in the disorderly army.

Sweeping away the misty smoke, my father picked up the broken arrow and spat heavily: "If you don't believe in your own will, you will never be a general."

How stupid it is to pin victory or defeat on a precious arrow, and how dangerous it is for a person to give the core and handle of life to others! For example, pin your hopes on children; Put happiness on her husband; Insure the crew with life insurance ...

Moral truth: You are an arrow. If you want it to be tough, sharp, piercing, sharpening and saving, you can only be yourself.

It's beautiful to hold your head up and chest out.

Jenny is a little girl who always lowers her head. She always feels that she is not beautiful enough. One day, she went to a jewelry store.

I bought a green bow, and the shopkeeper praised her for wearing it beautifully. Jenny didn't believe it, but she was very happy.

I can't help being cocky, eager to show it to everyone, and I don't care if I go out and bump into people.

Jenny walked into the classroom and met her teacher head-on. "Jenny, how beautiful you look with your head held high!" "The teacher patted her lovingly.

Shoulder said.

That day, she was praised by many people. She thinks it must be the bow, but she can take a picture in the mirror and stick her head up.

No bow. I must have lost it when I left the jewelry store.

Self-confidence is a kind of beauty, but many people lose a lot of happiness because they care too much about appearance.

Moral: Whether you are rich or poor, whether you are beautiful or plain, as long as you hold your head high, happiness will make you cute-the kind that everyone likes.

3. Spend a leaf in your life

American writer Ou; Henry told a story in his novel The Last Leaf: In the ward, a dying patient saw a tree outside the window from his room and fell down one by one in the autumn wind. The patient looked at the rustling leaves in front of him and his health went from bad to worse. She said, "When all the leaves are gone, I will die." When an old painter learned about it, he drew a leaf with green veins with a colored pen and hung it on a branch. The last leaf never fell. Because of the green color in life, the patient miraculously survived.

Moral truth: life can be without many things, but it can't be without hope. Hope is an important value of human life. Where there is hope, there is endless life.

4. Once upon a time, two hungry people were blessed by an elder: a fishing rod and a basket of huge fresh fish. One of them asked for a basket of fish and the other asked for a fishing rod, so they parted ways. The person who got the fish built a bonfire with dry wood and cooked the fish on the spot. He wolfed down the fish and didn't taste the meat of the fresh fish. In a flash, he ate all the fish and soup. Soon, he starved to death by the empty fish basket. The other man continued to starve with a fishing rod, and walked hard to the seaside step by step, but when he saw the blue ocean not far away, his last strength was exhausted and he could only die with endless regrets. Two hungry people also got a fishing rod and a basket of fish from their elders. It's just that they didn't part ways, but agreed to look for the sea together. They only cook one fish at a time. After a long journey, they came to the seaside. From then on, they began to make a living by fishing. A few years later, they built a house, had their own family, children and a fishing boat made by themselves, and lived a happy and healthy life.

A person who only cares about immediate interests will eventually get short-term happiness; One should aim high, but face the real life. Only by organically combining ideal with reality can we become a successful person. Sometimes, a simple truth is enough to give people meaningful life enlightenment.

5. 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 and turn your back on me? " 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.

6. In a small village, there was a very heavy rain, and the flood began to flood the whole village. A priest prayed in church and saw that the flood had flooded his knees. A lifeguard came to the church with a sampan and said to the priest, "Father, hurry up!" " ! Otherwise the flood will drown you! "The priest said," no! I am convinced that God will come to save me. You should save others first. "Before long, the flood flooded the priest's chest, and the priest had to reluctantly stand on the altar. At this time, another policeman came by speedboat and said to the priest, "Father, come up quickly, or you will really drown!" " God's father said, "No, I want to keep my church. I believe that God will come to save me. " . You'd better save others first. "After a while, the flood flooded the whole church, so the priest had to hold on to the cross at the top of the church. A straight plane flies slowly. After putting down the rope ladder, the pilot shouted, "Dad, come up quickly. This is the last chance. We don't want to see you drown in the flood! ！” The priest still said firmly, "no, I want to keep my church!" "God will save me. You'd better save others first. God will be with me! ! "The flood rolled in, and the stubborn priest was finally drowned ... The priest went to heaven and saw God. He was very angry and asked," Lord, I have devoted my life to serving you with trepidation. Why don't you save me! " God said, "Why can't I save you? The first time, I sent a sampan to save you, and you didn't want it. I thought you were worried about the danger of the sampan. The second time, I sent another speedboat, but you still don't want it; The second time, I treated you as a national guest and sent a helicopter to rescue you, but you still refused to accept it. So, I thought you were anxious to come back to me, and you could stay with me. "

In fact, too many obstacles in life are caused by excessive stubbornness and ignorance. When others lend a helping hand, don't forget that only when we are willing to lend a helping hand can others lend a helping hand! ! !

7. There are two brothers who live on the 80th floor. One day, when they came home from a trip, the power went out in Eureka Tower!

The two brothers came to the door excitedly and found that they had left their keys in their bags on the 20th floor. ...

Some people say that this story actually reflects our life: before the age of 20, we lived under the expectations of our families and teachers, and were burdened with a lot of pressure and burdens. We were not mature enough and lacked ability, so our pace was inevitably unstable. After the age of 20, I left everyone's pressure, unloaded my baggage, and began to pursue my dreams with all my strength, thus living happily for 20 years. But at the age of 40, I found that my youth had passed away, which inevitably produced a lot of regrets and regrets. So I began to regret this, regret that, complain about this, hate that ... so I spent 20 years complaining. At the age of 60, I found that my life was running out, so I told myself to stop complaining and cherish the rest of my life! So I walked silently through the rest of my life. At the end of my life, I remember that I seem to have unfinished business ... It turns out that all our dreams have remained in our 20-year-old youth and have not been completed yet. ...

In this way, it finally flew!

Secret: hone the power to summon success

9. I have two brothers, only four or five years old. Because the bedroom window is closed all day, they think the room is too dark and envy it when they see the bright sunshine outside. The two brothers discussed and said, "We can go outside and sweep some sunshine together." So, the two brothers took brooms and dustpans and went to the balcony to sweep the sun. When they moved the dustpan into the room, there was no sunshine inside. After repeated sweeps, there was still no sunshine in the room. My busy mother in the kitchen saw their strange behavior and asked, "What are you doing?" They replied, "The room is too dark, so we should sweep some sunshine in." Mom smiled: "As long as you open the window, the sun will naturally come in. Why do you have to sweep? "

Secret: Open the closed heart door, and the sunshine of success will dispel the darkness of failure.

12, Lao Tzu, a great philosopher in ancient China, called his disciples to bed one day, opened his mouth and pointed to his mouth, then asked them what they saw. None of the sons present could answer. So Lao Tzu said to them: "The teeth are gone, but the tongue is still there", which means that the teeth must be hard but their life span is not long; The tongue must be soft, but more vital.

The young monk couldn't help asking in a low voice all the way: What happened to Master? How dare you cross the river with a woman on your back? After walking all the way and thinking all the way, I finally couldn't help but say, master, are you breaking the rules? Why are you taking a woman? The old monk sighed: I have put it down, but you still can't put it down!
